There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The wedding of Zhang Ziwen and Mao Minghui was indeed as simple as he had said beforehand, but it also revealed a strong sense of festiveness of newcomers and new atmosphere.

In the staff canteen where the county post office and the supply and marketing cooperatives were mixed together, tables of simple wedding banquets were placed in the lobby. And the dishes are even more common than this year's old Zhang's New Year's Eve and the third day of the first month of the first lunar month.

——In the words of Zhang Ziwen, his uncle who pouted from time to time, it is really shabby.

Is it really shabby?

Not really.

You have to know that now you can have a family of more than a dozen people, just with a so-called big gift of three yuan, but let you not only taste the taste of meat, but also eat white flour steamed buns, and by the way, you still want to eat it. Impossible.

It's not that Zhang Meili didn't make arrangements in advance, but that she really didn't dare to mess around. It's an honor to be poor these days, but the rich are locked in the cowshed.

In particular, Zhang Chunming and Zhang Meili are really not the ones who pick on outsiders. No matter how economical they usually are, they won't lose out on the guests who came to congratulate them.

Therefore, for the eldest son's wedding, the couple spent a lot of effort and energy a few years ago, and went back to the village to prepare half a piece of pork and a lot of frozen fish.

Throw away the Li Niang meat that she brought when she picked up the bride early this morning, and the four cuts of meat that she gave to her father and mother and her three brothers when she returned to her natal home for New Year's greetings in the first month. I would rather make dumplings with more cabbage and less meat than worry about wronging the guests.

But no matter how much meat is left, it cannot withstand the consumption of twenty or so banquets. The old colleagues who didn't intend to invite them, they came, even the neighbors from the neighborhood came, can they still drive them away?

No, in the end it was the kitchen master of the unit who understood Zhang Meili's embarrassment, and used his good knife to cut pork as thin as A4 paper to make braised pork.

If you want to say this, you really have to admire the good sword skills of other masters. Hehe... Whoever eats an extra slice, won't the rest be able to eat the meat?

The wedding banquet that has been missed for a long time by the sisters-in-law for a long time, but there are no eight plates, and you are said to be from the city, doesn't it look shabby?

But since it is a banquet, of course there must be wine. As for the wine, do you want to go to Moutai, Northeast sorghum? That is impossible. Even if Zhang Ziwen's family can afford it, they dare not be too jealous.

There were tables and jars of home-brewed rotten sweet potato dry wine and orange-flavored soda. To be honest, Zhang Meili and his wife really worked hard this time.

Fortunately, the result was gratifying, and all these thoughts were not in vain. The atmosphere at the eldest son's wedding was quite lively.

Especially when Zhang Ziwen and Mao Minghui, colleagues of the newlyweds presented their congratulatory gifts, it was the warm applause and congratulations from all the guests led by the bosses of the newlyweds.

Usually, most of the colleagues, friends, neighbors, and neighbors follow the small group, some have 30 cents, some have 50 cents, and according to the amount of money they collect, they will buy daily necessities for the newcomers: such as aluminum pots, thermoses, and face washes. Basin, mirror, a pair of pillowcases and all.

But this group of energetic young people dared to break the stereotypes and adopted unique tricks. What a wonderful idea!

In addition to presenting the chairman's plaster statue, they also gave a lot of New Year pictures of the chairman's portrait that cost one or two cents a piece. Some are waving, some are sitting, some are full-length, and some are half-length. Anyway, I feel that there are so many.

And these gifts are just right, in this era of red sparkle, it adds a solemnity to the characteristic vows of the couple.

After the wedding banquet, it is usually time to make a bridal chamber at night.

At this time, making trouble in the bridal chamber is very simple and simple, especially in the county town, it will not be full of tricks, or even maliciously play something and cause trouble.

In this year, it was the bachelor villages like Xialin Village that were just liberated earlier, or those closed small villages that married common wives. As long as there are patriarchs and elders, they will not allow these scandalous things to affect their reputation.

As for picking up ashes in private, hooking up... that's in private. Don't talk about sinking ponds in the past, but now if there is a sign, they will be beaten.

The banquet is over, the winter days are short, and the earth is plunged into darkness early.

The festive moment of building a new house under the lights is coming.

The brand-new bridegroom and bride distributed sweets to the guests who came to congratulate them one after another. Afterwards, the bride and groom were asked to sing a popular song, and then teased Zhang Ziwen and Mao Minghui to tell about their love story.

When it comes to happiness, the whole room burst into laughter. In the end, someone will come up with some small questions, and everyone will play some small games together. Everyone left one by one with unfulfilled desires and reluctance.

Gotta give the bride and groom a good night, right?

Unfortunately, no matter how much Zhang Ziwen waited to see Mei Jiaoniang tonight, he had no choice but to restrain his lust. Probably because the three Ping'an brothers will return to Beijing early in the morning.

In the new house, Mao Minghui first took out the gift that was to be presented at the tea ceremony tomorrow morning from the dowry wooden box, and shyly glanced at Zhang Ziwen, who had become her lover, blushing, and asked in a soft voice: Really? It's okay? I heard that Cousin Xiaoya gave one dollar to each of the brothers and sisters.

Zhang Ziwen looked at her cheerfully, and said with a smile, The ten yuan you give to the Pingan brothers is not as good as the insoles you made by yourself. They pay more attention to their hearts, and it's up to my old uncle and my old aunt.

Mao Minghui looked at him hesitantly, and said hesitantly: Then I really gave my uncles a pair of cloth shoes that I bought?

Zhang Ziwen looked at her amusedly, Are you planning to talk to me like this for the rest of your life? I remember that not long ago, someone called me that women are half the sky, and husbands and wives should be equal.

Mao Minghui laughed and said: That is to say, such a sentence, but it makes you never forget it. If I make up my own mind and don't discuss it with you, believe it or not, my mother will cut me off? I can see that you are her own son. , I picked it up from outside.

It's okay, my mother likes to be upside down like my mother, she likes you very much too. It's all right now, you have another topic, and you can stick together all day long, don't talk about me anymore, what? I haven't finished talking yet, and this is about to start urging again.

Mao Minghui smiled when he heard this. Her mother-in-law is cheerful and open-minded, and even speaks out, she doesn't know what to say in person, how can you make yourself dislike it?

In particular, there are a lot of big aunts, second aunts, etc., either insinuating a few words against me, or relying on the old to sell the old for pointing, and they are repeatedly stunned by the mother-in-law.

Hehe... She likes such a mother-in-law, not like her mother, who lived under the siege of her sister-in-law all her life and then sulked herself afterwards.

As the only daughter in the family and the youngest, although she was spoiled by her parents like her sister-in-law Yaya, her most powerless point is that she has to be taught by her parents regardless of whether the elders in the next room are doing right or wrong. Apologize for the reason.

If you want her to say, some people, some people, if you bear with them a step, they will make more progress, so it's better to just tear your face off and never have any contact with them again.

What are you thinking? Let's go and come back quickly, it's too late, uh... Halfway through Zhang Ziwen's words, the cucumber blushed subconsciously, and ordered with dodge eyes, There are many sets of cotton jackets, it's cold outside.

The newlyweds put on their overcoats and left the new house in the East Wing, only to realize that the family members had left, leaving room for the couple.

Seeing this, Mao Minghui blushed even more, bowed his head and walked to the door first, waiting for him to come out.
