Chapter 38

The wedding of the two is also in the evening.

After work, everyone went to Tang's house and gave some symbolic gifts, some of which were a bowl of rice, a handful of noodles, a bag of sugar or a few cents, etc.There are also supplies, towels, clothes and so on.Because Tang Weiyong's father, Tang Chuanmu, was the village head, almost the whole village came.

Tang Chuanmu's family prepared tea and melon seeds.Some sugar was also prepared, but it was looted by children as soon as it was taken out.

When Tang Weiyong took Wei Hongzhi over and saw a long line of people holding dowries, the whole village was shocked.

After careful calculation, Wei Hongzhi's dowry actually included two thick new quilts, a red suitcase, two basins with big red happy characters printed on them, towels, thermos bottles, porcelain cups, bed sheets and quilts and other daily necessities , all of them.

When Tang Weiyong gave the bride price before, there was a plum blossom watch in it.

When the villagers knew about it, they sighed. Watches are the things of the city people.I even lamented that Tang Weiyong spent such a large amount of money for a daughter-in-law in the city.But today, seeing Wei Hongzhi's dowry, I know that Tang Weiyong really has a vision.

This dowry can be counted in the city.

In fact, only a small part of Wei Hongzhi's dowry was bought with her own savings.The big head was subsidized by Tang Weiyong, and some were given by friends.After all, Wei Hongzhi has always been popular.

For example, Ye Qiu gave two porcelain pots with the word "Happy" at Wei Hongzhi's wedding.Qin Lu and Qin Guowen presented a pair of porcelain cups.Zhang Chengguo sent two towels, and Li Jiangang sent a sheet.Lu Jianbin was the most generous, exchanging more than a dozen food stamps for cotton tickets, and also gave Wei Hongzhi a quilt.And Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong also prepared one.So in the eyes of outsiders, there are only two dowry quilts.

As far as the dowry of these two quilts is concerned, it is considered a very good dowry in this age when women can get married with a bag, not to mention other living things.There are some items that some people in the village have never touched in their entire lives.

People in the village are very envious, especially some girls who are about to get married. It would be great if they could have these dowries.

In fact, not only the villagers are envious.

Wei Hongzhi's parents and younger brother were also jealous when they saw the dowry.

In fact, before Wei Hongzhi's parents, elder sister and younger brother heard that she married a countryman, they were very unhappy.Even when Tang Weiyong visited for the first time, he didn't give him a good face.It wasn't until he learned that Tang Weiyong was working in a state-run hotel that his complexion improved.

But now seeing the dowry that Wei Hongzhi had prepared for herself, Wei Hongzhi's parents straightened their faces.He scolded, "Stinky girl, the past few years have always said that the countryside is hard, so the family didn't let her share the burden. I didn't expect this girl to save so much dowry."

Wei Hongzhi's younger brother, Wei Hongjun, was also full of depression. He just fell in love with someone.It would be great if he kept the things here for him to marry a wife.That watch is considered a new thing in the city.It's a pity that he didn't get so many industrial coupons to buy watches.

Later, Wei Hongzhi's eldest sister persuaded her parents, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, if we show Wei Hongzhi's face today, it is their Wei family that these country people look down on.So the two elders watched with heartache as the people brought by Tang Weiyong took all the dowry away.

The wedding clothes of Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong are white shirts and grass-green military trousers.And Wei Hongzhi's hair was cut short to the shoulders, just enough to tie two small braids, with a small red string tied at the end of the braids. With this outfit, the whole person looked youthful and beautiful, and because the braids jumped back and forth, it added a bit of lively atmosphere .

The subsequent process was similar to Ye Qiu's. Tang Weiyong took Wei Hongzhi back and began to pay homage.First, the witness read a quotation and said some blessings, then the newlyweds declared to the chairman, and then the husband and wife said their vows to each other.The last is to salute like parents, and then sent to the bridal chamber.

Tang Weiyong only left the village in the past two years, and everyone is no stranger to him.Wei Hongzhi has also stayed in the village for more than three years, and everyone in the village is familiar with her.So the couple's bridal chamber festive night was very noisy.Joking, telling jokes, and even pushing the two of them together to collide.

As soon as they touched each other, they all yelled, "Hold together, hug together! One more...."

Wei Hongzhi was so ashamed that her face seemed to have been covered with rouge.They didn't leave until Tang Weiyong's sister-in-law chased them away.

Ye Qiu returned home, washed up and went to bed, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window, couldn't help thinking of Tang Weishan, and didn't know what he was doing at this time.

At this time, Tang Weishan and his comrades were walking in a deep forest in the north.The entire team of ten people was silent, and even the footsteps were hard to detect, only the chirping of various insects and birds in the forest could be heard.If they hadn't been able to see their feet under the moonlight with their own eyes, people would think that the ten of them were ghosts.

A group of people walked for almost two hours and came to a mountain bag.

The person in front of Tang Weishan was the team leader, who suddenly made a gesture.

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

The person who made the gesture just now indicated a forward movement to Tang Weishan.

Tang Weishan saluted immediately, then stepped forward lightly, lying on the mountain bag and looking out.

Outside the mountain, there is a city in the distance, brightly lit.When the line of sight moved closer, there was actually a group of people patrolling back and forth with guns.Tang Weishan made a gesture.

After seeing Tang Weishan's movements, the team leader looked at the moon in the sky, and then made a gesture. After everyone saw it, they all fell down and lay down in the grass.

Tang Wei lay flat on the mountain bag, looking at the people patrolling outside with a pair of piercing eyes.Make a gesture every quarter of an hour.After lying on the ground for a while, the team leader gestured to Tang Weishan a few times, ordered a few people, and then headed for another hill.

When the moon entered the clouds, there was a howl of wolves, followed by howls of wolves one after another.

There was some commotion among the patrolling people below, and after a while, someone led a few people towards the place where the wolves were howling.Tang Weishan took the opportunity to rush down with the rest of the people.

Ye Qiu had dreams all night, as if he dreamed of Tang Weishan, but felt that it wasn't him, and he couldn't remember anything when he woke up.But after dreaming all night, Ye Qiu didn't rest well, and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

After sitting up in a daze, Ye Qiu realized that the sun was already high, so he hurriedly got dressed and went out.

"Sister-in-law." Tang Guizhi was washing her hair in the backyard when she saw Ye Qiu go out and said, "I boiled potatoes today and warmed them in the pot."

"En." Ye Qiu also washed his face with water, and finally he felt sober, "Sister Yao, didn't you go out today?"

Tang Guizhi squeezed the water out of her hair, and said, "Didn't the village say that the grain was going to be distributed? I pulled the cow dung over there. I was digging cow dung early in the morning, and my body was full of stench, so I washed it." Bath and head."

Ye Qiu nodded. Some time ago, because she was busy in the space, she got up a little late in the morning.The first time I was a little embarrassed, but after seeing the Tang family's attitude the same as usual, Ye Qiu gradually got used to it.

Taking out a bowl of potatoes from the pot, Ye Qiu sat on a bench in the backyard, peeling the potatoes and said, "When is the exact date for the food distribution? Have you decided?"

"The day after tomorrow, we will be distributing food in the ancestral hall of the brigade. The village cadres are very busy these days." Tang Guizhi said with a smile, but she was very happy in her heart. When the cow dung was weighed in the morning, she was the one who had the most cow dung, so she should be able to get full marks.And she also saved a pile of cow dung for the family, so there is no need to worry about using fertilizer for the private plot.

Ye Qiu choked while eating the potatoes. He quickly went to the thermos in the house and poured a glass of water. After a few sips, he felt better.I thought in my heart that I had to find a way to get the food out, and it was not a problem to eat coarse grains for a long time.

Then he finished eating the remaining potatoes, and while washing the dishes, Ye Qiu suddenly realized, why is the house so quiet?

"Yaomei, where is Second Sister and Xia Hongdonghong?"

"Second sister has gone to Lijiagou. Xia Hong and Donghong probably went out to play, and Chunhong is sleeping upstairs."

"What?" Ye Qiu was taken aback, "Why did Second Sister go back?"

"Brother-in-law came and said that Mrs. Li agreed to split the family." Putting down the washbasin and towel, Ye Qiu looked worried.Tang Guizhi was very moved, and quickly said, "Fifth Sister-in-law, don't worry, Third Brother will follow."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu was still a little worried, Tang Weitian was a man after all.If he plays lip service, he may not be able to talk about others.Thinking that he had nothing to do, he said, "I'll go to Lijiagou to have a look."

"Fifth sister-in-law, then I will follow."

"What about Donghong?"

"I'll talk to sister-in-law three." After speaking, she ran out.

Lijiagou is not very far from Jianshe Village. Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi only walked for more than 20 minutes.

Lijiagou is halfway between the two mountains, and there is a valley in the middle of the two mountains. There is a ditch flowing down from the top of the mountain. Most of the people living in this village are surnamed Li, so it is called Lijia Village.

At this time, because summer has already entered, the working hours in the village are not long in summer. Many people go to work when the sky is just dawn and go home when the sun is high.

Along the way, Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi met many villagers who were off work.Those who knew Tang Guizhi greeted her repeatedly.

Chatting with the villagers along the way, the two had just entered the village when they saw a group of people gathered outside Li Weiguo's yard.

From the crowd came the hysterical cry of Mrs. Li, "It's unreasonable, the daughter-in-law forced her mother-in-law to death, and the daughter-in-law took her natal brother to beat someone. Second child, don't go up and help your brother."

When Ye Qiu heard this, he frowned tightly.Tang Guizhi's complexion also turned ugly for a moment.

Squeezing in through the gaps in the crowd, Ye Qiu saw Tang Guifang who was being dragged into a ruffian by Mrs. Li at a glance.Tang Guifang's eyes were red and her face was full of tears.But Tang Weitian was going to fight Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo's younger brother, Li Aiguo, and his wife were nearby. After hearing Mrs. Li's words, they prepared to arrest Tang Weitian.

Ye Qiu hurriedly shouted, "Third brother." Li Aiguo was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand and looked towards Ye Qiu.

Tang Guizhi had already rushed to Tang Guifang when Ye Qiu spoke, and grabbed Mrs. Li's hand holding Tang Guifang, "Ms. Li, what are you doing?"

When Mrs. Li saw Tang Guizhi, she thought she saw Ye Qiu as well, and she felt like she had caught something, "Well, you Tang Guifang, you actually brought the whole family here, why do you want to beat someone in front of my Li's house? Is there no one in the Li family?"

"Ms. Li, we are in a new society now, how can we fight in groups?" Seeing Tang Weitian looking over, Ye Qiu shook his head.This is Lijiagou, and the whole village is passed down from one ancestor.Tang Weitian would definitely suffer if he did something here.

Seeing Tang Weitian let go of his hand and hearing what Li Pozi said at the same time, Ye Qiu immediately retorted. "Besides, our Tang family are not people who don't understand etiquette, so we ran to the door and pointed their noses and scolded."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes and stared at Ye Qiu, "You are her fifth younger sibling, you really are a sharp-tongued one."

"Auntie, are we here to compete with the worst. My brother-in-law came to the Tang family and said that you agreed to split the family? Let's see if the division is over."

"If you want to split up, you are dreaming." Li Pozi said bitterly, and she screamed in her heart, she must not let Tang Guifang get her way.

Ye Qiu ignored Aunt Li's words, and turned to look at Tang Weitian, "Third brother, do you know where the village chief's house is?"

Tang Weitian heard the words and looked at an old man in the crowd.

Ye Qiu understood, and walked over directly, "Hello, Village Chief Li, I'm Ye Qiu, a youth sent to the countryside from Jianshe Village."

Li Minsheng, the village head of Lijiagou, looked at Ye Qiu calmly with his old eyes, "Hi, Comrade Ye Qiu."

Although Ye Qiu didn't care about Li Minsheng's indifference, "Three months ago, I established a revolutionary relationship with Comrade Tang Weishan in the village. At present, my husband is serving in the army. Comrade Tang Guifang is my husband's only sister."

"What do you want to say?" Li Minsheng's voice was low, obviously angry.Yellow-haired girl, do you actually want to threaten?

The surrounding villagers all looked at Ye Qiu and the village head, discussing softly, not understanding why the usually cheerful village head was so serious.

Mrs. Li and her second son and daughter-in-law were full of pride, as if Village Chief Li was supporting them.Mrs. Li proudly said to Village Chief Li, "Third Uncle, you have to make the decision for us. They have already hit the front of Li's house."

Li Minsheng looked at Ye Qiu and asked again, "What do you want to say?"

"Master Village Chief, I was just thinking about a question." Ye Qiu pretended to think, "Aunt Li beat and abused my second sister for many years. Is this class oppression? Is Aunt Li a class enemy?"
