Chapter 45 Grand Wedding
Zhang Tianyou smiled and said, "Kanguo! Xiao'e is a good girl. You have to treat others well in the future."
"Dad, you know, don't worry if you always keep going!"
In the middle of winter in December, the northwest wind was blowing fiercely, silver-gray clouds rushing in the sky, and the cold current was rolling, brewing a heavy snow.
The cold wind blew. The bare trees, like bald old men, could not stand the attack of the northwest wind, swaying in the cold wind.
After a while, snowflakes floated in the sky. The density of snowflakes became larger and larger, floating among the fields and mountains. Thick white snow piled up in the fields and mountains. The whole picture looked like the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, full of sacredness.
The pedestrians walking in the snow wrapped themselves tightly, for fear that the biting cold wind would invade their warm body. The floating snowflakes would never tire of playing with people like a naughty child, brushing people's hot faces, turning into drops of water and flowing onto their eyebrows and beards, forming small ice chips.
When your feet step into the snow, it will sing a cheerful footnote for you "Squeak, Squeak..." with this footnote. You can spread your imagination wings to pursue your best memories and embrace the happiness in your heart! You might as well take a deep breath that is soaked in the sweet fragrance of flowers and will soak into your heart. You can't help but think of a pure heart, and you will feel that the whole world is so pure.
Tian Xiao'e has lived in Zhang Jian's country for a few days and is already a little worried about the house in front of her and is reluctant to leave her. However, after all, she has not passed the door yet. If she has lived for a long time, there will inevitably be people gossiping.
On this day, Tian Xiao'e reluctantly prepared to say goodbye to this man who was about to marry, Zhang Jianguo. The situation in Zhangjia Village is getting more and more beautiful. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Zhang Jianguo couldn't bear to let Tian Xiao'e go back alone, so he followed Tian Xiaoe to Qilong Town. First, he could spend more time with her, and second, he wanted to buy some gifts for her.
The cold northwest wind made Tian Xiao'e tremble from time to time. Zhang Jianguo was not a fool. He also knew that taking off his coat and putting it on Xiao'e's body made her body warmer. They walked all the way through Yingshan and waded across Tianshui River. The surface of Tianshui River was covered with thick ice, and the road was a little slippery. Zhang Jianguo took Tian Xiao'e with his hands and walked over.
After a while, they came to a department store in Qilong Town. Zhang Jianguo said to Tian Xiao'e in front of the department store's counter: "Xiao'e, it's almost the Chinese New Year. You can take a look here and see what fabric you need. What materials do you like, and let me tell you what you want!"
Tian Xiao'e said, "Jianguo, let's just pull it all for you! I still have clothes at home, just pull it all for me to get it cheaper. Actually, I don't need to pull it anymore, but if you don't pull it, you're not happy..." She turned her head and pointed at Zhang Jianguo and said to the salesperson, "Look at what color he wears? Please better fabric."
When the salesperson saw their appearance, he knew that they were here to pull clothes to get married. They also had to receive several such rural customers a day, but the salesperson was a little strange after hearing the conversation between them. Generally, for the woman, he usually forced the man to add another code to the fabric he had originally said. If he didn't add the code, he wouldn't pull the clothes, and if he didn't pull the clothes, he wouldn't plan to get married. These things often made the young young people so anxious that they were looking for acquaintances all over the street to borrow money to pull the fabric. Some young people could not raise enough money and could not pull the fabric for the woman. They could only squat in the corner of the store door and cry. But the girl who appeared in front of the salesperson was a little strange. Not only did he not have good fabric, he also had to pull the fabric for the man. Such things were really rare! Perhaps it was only a plot in a TV series!
The salesman was moved by Tian Xiao'e and said with a smile: "This piece of fabric was shipped from Shanghai, the quality is good, and he is wearing it just right. If you want to pull a piece of cheaper fabric, I have one that looks better, but the texture is a bit worse," the salesman pointed to another fabric and continued: "This fabric is also good-looking and cheaper..." Before Zhang Jianguo said anything, Tian Xiao'e said to the enthusiastic salesman: "Then let us tell me what you said!"
After the salesperson pulled the fabric for them, Zhang Jianguo insisted on pulling a few more good fabrics for Tian Xiao'e, but Tian Xiao'e refused to let it go. The two of them argued over this and even started to get angry. The salesperson at the counter and some customers who watched the show not far away felt that it was a bit rare. They had never seen such a thing before.
Zhang Jianguo found that the people around him were watching him pulling with Xiao'e, and Xiao'e refused to let him pull fabric for him again. The two of them walked out of the department store with blushing faces.
On the streets of Qilong Town, Xiao'e said to Zhang Jianguo affectionately: "Jianguo, as long as the two of them are together, they are not a few pieces of cloth, I know that the situation in your Zhangjia Village is better, and life is booming now, but we are not married to you because of these, as long as you are good to me and my father, nothing else matters."
Zhang Jianguo's eyes were a little hot when Tian Xiao'e said. If this was a place where no one was, he really wanted to hug her tightly and kiss her.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Tian Xiao'e's house, Zhang Jianguo bought a pig's feet and a piece of pig's liver at a small stall on the street. After all, it was almost the Chinese New Year, so it would be good to buy some gifts. Although Tian Xiao'e couldn't bear to do this, he still bought it on his own initiative.
Zhang Jianguo took Tian Xiao'e to the door and turned around and walked back. It was not that he didn't want to go in and sit for a while. He was afraid that he would be reluctant to come out after he entered, so he said goodbye to Xiao'e and walked straight to Zhangjia Village. Before he left, he promised Xiao'e that he would come to her house to marry her after the Spring Festival.
The vast plateau mountains stand in the cold wind, and the white snow rubs the peaks of the entire mountain into a snow-white light, covering it with a layer of silver.
At this moment, whether in the city or above the village, there were wisps of smoke floating in cooking. People were wearing bulky and heavy cotton coats and trousers, and sheepskin coats. Pedestrians on the road put their hands in their purses and sprayed white mist in their mouths... In such a cold winter, few people were willing to go out and roast their cats at home to keep warm. Young young people who married their wives could not stand the cold and would rather keep warm and caress each other in the quilt with their wives.
Just a few days after the Spring Festival, Zhang Tianyou arranged to start a marriage for his son Zhang Jianguo.
The current situation in Zhangjia Village is much better than in the early years. There is no need to piece together every household in the village like before. Zhang Fugui saw that his playmate Zhang Jianguo, who had been playing since childhood, was about to get married. As the head of the village, he has great prestige in Zhangjia Village, so he arranged for the villagers to work hard for Zhang Jianguo's marriage.
Fugui handed over the things he bought vegetables and married to Zhang Dazhuang and Zhang Erzhuang. He went to the county town with Jianguo to rent a Santara and drove it back. After all, the situation is getting better and better now, and getting married is a lifelong thing. He discussed with Jianguo that he would do it well.
The cold winter makes the mountains and fields appear desolate and lonely. The yellow land is as hard as stone slabs. On the hillside in the distance, the branches are frozen white and squeaking by the cold wind from time to time. The Tianshui River is frozen tightly. This person will not have any cracks when he walks on it.
A red Santala car was driving in front of the grand wedding team in Zhangjia Village, followed by several tractors, and the tractors were filled with people. The lively wedding team passed Yingshan, waded through Tianshui River, and came to Qilong Town. When the wedding team came to Qilong Town, Zhang Jianguo went to a barber shop in the town to get a haircut. After all, today is his own happy day, so he has to make a good deal.
After finishing the hair, the wedding team continued to rush to Tian Xiao'e's house with gongs and drums. When the people in Qilong Town saw the marriage situation, they all stared at each other, and they didn't know whose girl was so lucky to marry into Zhangjia Village.
As time goes by, Zhangjia Village, which was originally a bachelor, suddenly became a popular commodity. Many families are willing to marry their daughters to Zhangjia Village. After all, Zhangjia Village is now in harmony and beautiful life. Every household lives in small bungalows. If anyone has something to do with Zhangjia Village, that life will definitely be wrong. The brick kiln in Zhangjia Village is booming, not to mention the engineering team and prefabricated plate factory.
The bride-welcoming team came to the door of Tian Junguang's house. Tian Xiao'e, who had already dressed up, walked out of the house. Looking at the bride-welcoming team in front of her, she was so happy. She was very happy to watch everything. She originally thought that getting married was just her own business, and just say hello to everyone. Unexpectedly, on this most important day for her, there were so many people who could accompany her to be happy. She sincerely thanked her.
When the wedding party was lively and gongs and drums, Tian Junguang called Zhang Jianguo aside and whispered in his ear: "Jianguo! Starting from today, Xiao'e is your woman. Old man, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can treat Xiao'e better. Xiaoe has never had a mother since she was a child. Old man, I hope you can treat her well, so that I can feel at ease."
Zhang Jianguo said: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao'e. From today on, we will be a family. If this family doesn't speak two families, Xiao'e and I will definitely respect you well in the future. We will go to Zhangjia Village later. In the future, you will always live with Xiaoe and we will enjoy the peace and happiness!"
Tian Junguang shook his head and said, "Kanguo! I am old and have feelings for this house, so I won't go with you, Xiao'e. If you two have time, you can come and see me. Besides, I can't bear to live in this old house that I have lived in for a lifetime. In the future, you and Xiao'e will just come and see you if you have time."
Zhang Jianguo knew that he could not persuade Tian Junguang no matter what, so he agreed to him. When Tian Xiao'e sat on Santara, Tian Junguang burst into tears. These were tears of happiness. He finally hoped that his daughter Xiao'e would get married and finally no longer have to accompany him, the old man.
