Chapter 66: Li Jianguo's popularity, the beasts are jealous!
The next morning.
It was just dawn in the city when the sound of firecrackers could be heard one after another in the streets.
Children were also in groups on the streets.
Some were playing with firecrackers, some were playing with marbles, and some were playing with iron rings.
Adults got up early in the morning to line up to prepare some pork, fish, rice, flour, red paper, fire paper and other things needed for the New Year. Everyone's face was filled with smiles.
There were still two days before the New Year, and the New Year atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger.
It has to be said.
Although people in this era were not rich in material terms, they were rich in spirit and fulfilled.
……
In the courtyard at this time
, a loud and long sound of firecrackers rang out, which immediately made the whole courtyard more lively.
And the one who set off the firecrackers was none other than Li Jianguo.
"Uncle is getting married!"
Xiao Xin was wearing new clothes, looking very happy, and couldn't stop smiling.
"Haha, wait for me to marry your aunt Xiao'e today!"
Li Jianguo touched Xiaoxin's head with a smile on his face.
Although he has lived two lives, this is his first marriage after all.
To be honest, he is still a little nervous.
But compared to being nervous, he is more happy.
The future life of these"two seven three" will definitely be happier and more fulfilling!
……
"Damn it! Li Jianguo, that bastard, is it a big deal to have firecrackers at home?"
"It's so noisy early in the morning!"
Jia's family next door.
Jia Dongxu was staring at the dark circles and cursing, his face full of malice.
Qin Huairu, who was getting dressed and preparing to get up to make breakfast, couldn't help but roll her eyes behind her back when she heard this.
Jia Dongxu is really becoming more and more like her disgusting mother-in-law.
But when it comes to firecrackers.
Her family really doesn't have any extra money to buy firecrackers now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Every Chinese New Year, every household will buy some new things for their children, symbolizing the farewell to the old and the welcome to the new.
But this year, let alone new things, even having a full meal is a problem. This year's New Year is really not going to be too easy.
The only good news is probably about Li Jianguo's share of money today.
A meeting was held last night.
Since Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong started fighting, the meeting has been a mess.
Later, it was not easy to pull the two apart.
But they were all angry. The two of them were obviously unable to make the right decision.
So, the third uncle Yan Bugui, who had never been in charge of the affairs, stood up at this critical moment.
In his words, everyone has to respect Li Jianguo's ideas.
Li Jianguo's family is not short of money.
Since Li Jianguo said that the share money is only ten cents, then give ten cents.
If you want to give more, you can choose to pay more.
This sounds fair, but it is obvious that he himself does not want to pay more.
As for this decision, the conditions were originally average, and it happened to be the New Year, so naturally everyone followed the principle of saving as much as possible and decided to pay ten cents for a festive occasion.
Although the Jia family is in trouble now, they can still afford one cent.
But of course.
This so-called good news is just a way to make the best of a bad situation.
For his Jia family, this year is still very sad.
Thinking deeply, Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh.
"Damn! You are such a jinx, you are sighing so early in the morning!"
"You ruined the luck of our Jia family!"
Qin Huairu's sigh angered Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu cursed and grabbed Qin Huairu's hair, slapping her hard.
Qin Huairu, who was still a little sleepy, woke up all of a sudden, and couldn't stop crying. She was beaten for just sighing. What sin did she commit in her previous life? How could she marry into the Jia family?!
But don't say it.
The series of slaps echoed with the firecrackers set off by Li Jianguo across the street.
……
Time soon came to the morning.
At this time, the front and back of the courtyard were all covered with red paper, and big red lanterns were hung everywhere. The courtyard was also filled with tables and chairs for banquets.
The atmosphere was extremely festive.
Weddings in this era were actually very simple.
There were not so many fancy things.
Just call the relatives and friends of both the man and the woman to have a meal, and everyone gave some money. Those with better conditions might give some gifts and blessings.
Then the couple toasted everyone with some wine, and it was basically over.
At the front door.
At this time, an eight-immortal table was set up, and the third uncle Yan Bugui was here, slowly recording the money for everyone in the courtyard.
In fact, Li Jianguo didn't plan to let the third uncle write the gift, but there were not many educated people in the courtyard, and his friends couldn't come so early. He could only give the job to him.
But with Xiaoxin watching, he didn't worry that he would do anything.
For the time being, today's record is much easier to remember than yesterday's.
Everyone in the courtyard basically gave a dime, and there was nothing else.
Looking at the gift book with only one cent on it,
Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu felt very comfortable.
Wasn't Li Jianguo awesome yesterday?
Didn't he say that he only needed to give one cent?
Then give one cent!
This gift book is usually read by all the guests who come and go.
When others see that Li Jianguo's gift book has only one cent on it (for a very exciting novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!), they will definitely think that Li Jianguo is not a good person and is not well-liked, and then they will have a bad reputation.
In this day and age, reputation is extremely important.
Even if Li Jianguo is now a level 5 engineer, if his reputation is bad, he will be excluded.
The most typical example now is the deaf old lady.
Since the deaf old lady's personality collapsed yesterday, basically few people are willing to help the old lady, and some people even don't even say hello to her.
Look.
The old lady just ran out of the yard with a cane early in the morning and took a stroll.
Except for pointing fingers at her behind her back, basically no one paid any attention to her.
She felt so ashamed that she could only return to the house alone.[]
"Is there anyone who hasn't registered yet?"
At this time, Yan Bugui looked at the end of the line to pay the share money and couldn't help but ask loudly.
Seeing no one responded, he turned the page.
Now the share money of the people in the yard has been written.
The rest is the relatives and friends of Li Jianguo and Lou Xiao'e.
However, the relatives and friends of the two have not come yet.
""Jian Guo, you can't blame me for this."
At this time, Yan Bugui looked at the share money in his hand, which added up to only a dozen yuan, and couldn't help shaking his head, muttering in his heart.
This was probably the least share money he had ever seen.
But just as he was sighing.
At this time, three or five masters riding bicycles came in one after another outside the door, and these bicycles were all hung with gifts.
Some were meat and grains and oils, some were some fine fabrics and candies, and some were some fine wines.....
These were naturally none other than Li Jianguo's colleagues in the steel mill, all engineers.
With the arrival of several masters, everyone in the yard couldn't help but cast their eyes over and started talking.
Nowadays, those who can ride bicycles are all rich people!
When several masters saw that Yan Bugui seemed to be in charge of etiquette, they walked over directly.
At the same time, they looked at Xiao Xin who was sitting next to them.
"Xiao Xin, do you still recognize me, Grandpa Wang?"
""Has your uncle gone to pick up the bride?"
An old master pinched Xiaoxin's face and said with a smile.
Xiaoxin nodded, smiling, and said obediently,"Of course I know him!"
"Uncle is going to pick up Aunt Xiao'e!"
Seeing Xiaoxin so cute, the master took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoxin. It seemed that he had prepared it in advance.
Then, he looked at Yan Bugui who was standing aside and asked about the payment of the share money.
"That's right, just register the wedding money and gifts with me."
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and quickly replied with a smile.
"OK, remember this. I'm not giving you much, eighty-eight, plus three bags of rice and a bottle of oil."
"I had the same money as him, also 88, plus four meters of fabric and three pounds of candy"
"I'm the same as them.……"
……
Listening to the numbers given by the masters, Yan Bugui's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Eighty-eight per person?!
There were only three or five people, and the total share money was more than four hundred yuan!
For a moment,
Yi Zhonghai Shazhu and everyone in the courtyard who were watching this scene from a distance were also stunned.
This is too generous!
"Eighty-eight? Did I hear that right?"
"Just eighty-eight dollars per person?"
"Are the people in China so popular? These people actually gave me 88 yuan at once, which is enough for my family to use for two months!"
"Wow, you’re really generous!"
……
For a while, everyone in the institute was talking and talking about it, and they were extremely envious.
In fact, this number was indeed very high for the people in the institute.
However, for these level 6 2.0 engineers who could earn 178 per month, it was not a big pressure.
Given their friendship with Li Jianguo, they originally wanted to give more, at least 100. However,
Li Jianguo kept emphasizing that there was no need to be so high-profile, so they reduced it to 88.
"Eighty-eight dollars? These guys each gave Li Jianguo eighty-eight dollars?!"
"These old guys have so much money but nowhere to spend it?!"
"With so much money, why not help our family!"
At this moment, Jia Dongxu, who was moved out of the yard, sat on a stool, shocked and jealous.
Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, was also shocked and opened her mouth.
I remember when I first got married, the total amount of money for the gift was less than 88 yuan!
Thinking of the scene of Lou Xiao'e sitting on the bed counting the money for the gift, she was so jealous. How great would it be if it was me who married Li Jianguo?!
Soon, with the arrival of several masters
, many workers who had a good relationship with Li Jianguo also came one after another.
Although these people were not as generous as the masters, they basically spent more than ten or twenty yuan, and most of them brought gifts. When all these were integrated, the gift money was not a small amount.
After a while, a small eight-immortal table could no longer hold so many gifts.
