Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 131 Married!
Hongqi Commune. Nianzi Mountain Village!

July 7th, the 10rd day of the fifth lunar month, is a good time to get married and pray for blessings!
Early in the morning, Lao Li's family at the east end of the village started firing firecrackers, and the festive suona sounds resounded throughout the village.

Today is the wedding day of Li Yi and Tang Xue. All the men, women and children in the village came to Li's house early to have a feast and also helped out!
These days, getting a wife is not a simple matter and often requires help from many people.

At this time, the status and prestige of a family in the village can be seen. Prestige families do not need to be greeted by the head of the family, and there is an endless stream of people who help.

For families with low prestige, even if they greet the villagers many days in advance, no one may be willing to help.

The Li family is obviously not worried about no one to help. There are many people in the village who owe Li Yi favors or hope to make money with Li Yi. They don't need to be greeted by Li Shankui. Many young people came over early in the morning to help carry water, chop wood, and light the fire.

Regarding this wedding, the Li family had already informed the villagers that they would only hold it for one day.

According to the custom here in Saibei Province, it usually takes three days to marry a daughter-in-law to a daughter-in-law.

That is to say, the first day is to set up shop, the second day is the main day, and the third day is to return home.

The man's side had the best meal on the second day, and it was the main meal.

Although I also took care of the guests' meals during the other two days, the food was relatively simple.

The woman's return day was a formal day, and she ate relatively simple food for the first two days.

But since Tang Xue's natal family is not here, there is no Huimen, so Lao Li's family simply canceled both the shop and Huimen.

Although it was only held for one day, no one said that the Li family was stingy, because everyone knew that in order to entertain guests, the Li family hired a master chef from the city. It is said that a banquet costs a full 18 yuan, all of which It's the most delicious thing that most of you have never tasted.

Moreover, the master chefs who made the banquet were busy at Lao Li's new house yesterday afternoon. The alluring fragrance wafted all over the village, and I don't know how many little babies were crying.

At seven o'clock in the morning, as soon as the firecrackers went off, the Li family invited the villagers to come to the new house to eat crispy cakes!
This is also the custom here in Saibei. In the morning, fried cakes are served with soup and cold dishes!
Although it was not the main banquet, soon the courtyard of the new house was filled with villagers waiting to eat.

When the guests were almost here, Master Liu called the helpers he brought to serve the guests!
The golden and crispy fried cakes and cold vegetables were brought to the table in plates. The powder soup was served in an enamel basin, half a basin for the table. If there is not enough, you can add more, which is really generous.

What surprised the villagers even more was that the Li family put a plate of sugar on every table for dipping fried cakes. It was really a luxury.

Southerners may not know that fried cakes are actually a delicacy made from millet noodles.

Those that are not fried are called vegetarian cakes, while those that are deep-fried are called fried cakes. They are a unique delicacy only eaten during weddings and funerals in Saibei.

No way, this thing really consumes too much fuel.

In this era when the average person only has 2 taels of oil per month, eating fried cakes is really a luxury.

Sugar is even more of a luxury product, and most people cannot buy it even if they have money.

These two things alone are enough to show how much the Old Li family values ​​this happy event, and everyone can also feel the sincerity of the Old Li family in entertaining guests.

When the Li family entertained guests to eat shortcakes, the educated youths were also beaming with joy.

Since Tang Xue's natal family was away, several female educated youths acted as her natal family members.

Starting yesterday, these female educated youths have decorated the entire dormitory with big red characters for "Happy", and hung a red cloth over the door.

And early this morning, they got up early.

While packing Tang Xue's luggage, she was also busy helping her put on wedding clothes.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, a jeep drove into the village and stopped at the Li family's new house.

After Li Yi saw it, he knew that Wang Anguo and the others were coming, and immediately came out to greet them.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Wang Anguo and Li Gang getting out of the car first.

Then they opened the back door again, and Mr. Wang walked out with the support of a middle-aged woman.Li Yi took a closer look and saw that she was Wang Anguo's sister-in-law, the wife of Wang Anmin, the top leader in the county!
Obviously, it was not convenient for Wang Anmin to attend today's wedding banquet, so he asked his wife to come instead.

"Old man, you are here, please come inside!" Li Yi immediately stepped forward and said.

"Hahaha, can I not come when you get your wife?" Mr. Wang said with a smile.

"Please come in!"

As soon as these people were invited in, they saw another car parked in front of Li Yi's house.

Li Yi immediately apologized to Mr. Wang and went out to greet him.

This time, Director Liang Yukui came, as well as several cadres from the sugar factory, including Director Ge, Captain Zhou and others.

As soon as the general was welcomed into the house, Liu Jingshan came with several acquaintances from the state-owned hotel.

These people interacted with Li Yi every day and were familiar with him. They knew that he was getting married, so they came together.

Seeing the two cars and so many bicycles parked outside, the village members were stunned.

They knew all the relatives in Lao Li's family, and some of them could afford to drive a car.

Obviously, these guests are all friends of Li Yi.

Everyone knew that Li Yi had become prosperous during this period and had many hard connections in the city, but they didn't expect that his friends were so powerful that they all drove cars.

At ten o'clock in the morning, seeing that it was almost time, Li Yi immediately asked the third sister to get the big red word "happy" and the freshly picked flowers in the morning.

Then he came to Wang Anguo's jeep and started tinkering.

After a while, a special wedding car was released!

Seeing that the police car of the county bureau was dressed up like this by Li Yi, Wang Anguo said with a bit of laughter and tears: "No wonder you asked me to wash the car before I came. It turned out to be this idea!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I actually wanted to use Factory Manager Liang's car, but I thought you are the patron saint of our people, so it would be better for you to drive with me to marry the bride!"

"I believe you're the one who's crazy. I think you probably dislike Brother Liang's car because it's too old!" Wang Anguo said with a smile.

Li Yi smiled and said: "If you say you can see through it, then you can see through it. You have to say it!"

"Hahaha, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

At this moment, the eldest brother-in-law Yang Wenguang came over and said, "Xiao Yi, it's almost time to go pick up the bride!"

"Row!"

Then Li Yi tidied up his little suit, and then moved a red quilt to the jeep.

Then Li Yi said loudly to his father and mother standing at the door of the house in front of all the guests and relatives: "Dad, mother, my son is going to get a wife!"

Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong said at the same time: "Go!"

After calling his parents, the eldest brother-in-law took a bag containing cigarettes, candies, and firecrackers, and followed Li Yi out of the door.

Walking outside the yard, Li Yi and Wang Anguo got into the car, one sitting in the driver's seat and the other in the back seat.

Yang Wenguang, the eldest brother-in-law who accompanied the wedding, first kicked the door twice and then got into the passenger seat of the jeep.

Then, the car engine started and drove straight to the educated youth spot not far away.
