Chapter 359 The Most Beautiful Gift

The far-reaching impact of television on Kuashantun cannot be measured by money, as if the small Kuashantun is connected to the entire China and the entire world at once. Unconsciously, everyone's ideas are also quietly changing.

Even everyone's language has changed a little: the wild boys now like to sing "We are pests, we are pests", which I learned from pesticide advertising; young people prefer to sing "Swallow Dance, Swallow Dance, a song brings love", which comes from the Yanwu recorder.

Whenever the fat man saw the little kids in gangs calling us pests, he would rush up and slap them on the egg on the butt, then raise his hands and shout: "It's powerful enough," this is the advertising slogan of the Weili washing machine.

Speaking of which, although there were few advertisements at that time, the advertising effect had begun to show signs.

The news broadcast has become the most popular program in the village. From old masters like Li Wu and Grandpa Wang to younger generations like Snot, they will watch it at seven o'clock on time.

Because the slack season has officially entered, the fat man put his marriage with Dapengzi on the official agenda. Wang Sanpao is a big-name media and has supported two families with one hand, so he has to stand out.

When Wang Sanpao heard the fat man say this, he was so happy that his beard was raised: "It should have been done for a long time. He also had to place a gift order, hire a bride, buy things, and clean up the house. Just go busy. It would be strange if you don't lose the weight of ten or eight pounds."

The fat man touched the back of his head and sighed: "It's so troublesome!"

"If you think it's troublesome, don't get it." Wang Sanpao said it simply. It's time to do it, even if you peel it, you have to do it. Besides, this is a happy event, so you don't have to worry about any work. I'm happy.

So, after choosing a good day, Wang Sanpao and Fatty went straight to the county town on their bicycles. Before leaving, Dapizi was shy and didn't dare to look at Fatty when they were having dinner in the morning.

Teacher Xiaohua is a little bitch and is walking around: "I have lived together for two years, what else can I be afraid of?"

Big Braida couldn't explain it clearly, just because she felt panicked. After hearing what Xiaohua said, her face turned redder and she whispered back: "Damn girl, try it when you talk about marriage."

The fat man left the house with a sneering smile on his face, shaking his arms all the way. Wang Sanpao kept shouting behind him: "Fat man, hurry up, be careful not to kick off the kick--"

At noon, I arrived at Dapengzi's house. When Aunt Wang saw that Brother Sanpao and Fatty came together, she understood the general idea and hurried to the kitchen to arrange meals.

After a while, Secretary Wang also came back. When the fat man saw that his father-in-law, who was about to take office, was flushed, and his spirit was greatly improved than before, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

At the dinner table, Wang Sanpao took out a stack of big red paper: "I came to the city today just for the marriage of the two children. The fat man is thirty in the New Year, and Xiaoyu is 18. The two of them are 245 on average, which is considered late marriage and late childbirth. In response to the national call, I brought the fat man to deliver the bride price list."

The fat man felt a little sweaty in his forehead: Uncle San is the same. He knows each other's age well, so there is no need to say it.

According to the customs of the countryside at that time, before preparing for the wedding, the man had to deliver the bride gift list to the woman's house, and then write it clearly on it one by one. In the past, money was required, but the atmosphere had changed in the past two years. There were more watches, sewing machines, good conditions, and bicycles, and three major items were collected, so of course it was the most respectable.

Generally speaking, the bride price list must be written by both parents and matchmakers in person, as small as a headscarf or a pair of socks, so as not to admit it at the same time. In short, there are still some traces of marriages in the old society.

As for TVs, recorders, washing machines, gold and platinum jewelry, they were the ones that appeared the most on the bride list a few years later.

Nowadays, many rural areas have returned to nature and directly asked for money. Generally speaking, the bride price costs more than 100,000 yuan. Those families who did not respond to the national call but were eager to give birth to mistresses, little fours, and little fives can really not afford to marry their wives.

At that time, the bride price list was also the most likely place to cause disputes between the two parties. Generally, the man thought there were too many, the woman thought there were too few, and bargained and argued endlessly, so it was easy to fight.

When you are quarrel, you can keep your wedding from being bad because a set of thread clothes and pants. In fact, it is not the main thing to do with this, it is mainly to compete for face.

In this case, the role of the matchmaker is reflected. It must be hard-working, capable of running errands and learning to speak, and at critical moments, otherwise you should be able to calm down the scene, otherwise you should be waiting to be splint-in-the-middle.

Wang Sanpao took out the bride list and slapped the table proudly: "Second brother and sister-in-law, you can write whatever you want, the fat man will definitely not talk about it."

Secretary Wang and Aunt Wang looked at each other, then laughed together. Secretary Wang took out a pen, wrote a few words on the red paper, and handed them to the fat man. He knew that the three brothers didn't know the words.

The fat man felt a little nervous. When he opened the red paper, he saw the words "Wang Xiaoyu" written on it. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He raised his head and saw Secretary Wang looking at him with a smile:

"Xiao Huang, we have given you the whole daughter. Do you dare to accept this gift?"

The fat man's heart was in a state of excitement and stood up: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Xiaoyu is the best gift in my life, I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

Secretary Wang and the boss smiled and nodded. They believed in the fat man's promise. But there was a thought in Aunt Wang's mind and it passed, which was the age difference between the two, which was a little larger.

Wang Sanpao looked at them and felt a little confused: "How about this bride price?"

"Whatever the two children are willing to buy, let's do whatever they want, so we don't have to get involved." Aunt Wang said with a smile.

"That's not possible. Our family members have to give us some things, otherwise we will be laughed at by others!" Wang Sanpao was standing on the side of the fat man just now, and now he has begun to regard himself as his family. I really don't know which one it belongs to.

"We have compensated all the girls, isn't it enough?" Aunt Wang clapped and laughed, clearing all the troubles.

The fat man nodded secretly, feeling happy: My father-in-law is worthy of being the county party secretary, so how good is this headgear. When doing weddings, he is just as energetic as he can do the big things. He cannot be a storefront. At that time, he will still be his family members. If he owes famine, wouldn’t he have to pay it back?

The fat man was not under pressure when the Dapianzi family was opened like this. Instead, he felt that he had to do this better. He basically got married this time in his life and could not treat the Dapianzi badly. After all, from his current age, the fat man was a bit suspicious of eating something like an old cow.

Finally, the fat man handed over the right to decide on the wedding date to his future father-in-law. Secretary Wang thought for a moment: "Just set it on New Year's Day. The beginning of the year is also the beginning of your new life."

The fat man had no objection. It would be better if he got married on the day. Of course, he hoped that the sooner the better.

After finalizing some other details, Fatty and Wang Sanpao returned that day, and when they arrived home, the news broadcast had already started.

Seeing that the fat man came back so quickly, Dapizi certainly understood what was going on, but it was hard to ask in front of the room.

Teacher Xiaohua was straightforward and asked, "Brother Fat, how is the marriage? I'll be back so soon. Did you ask your mother-in-law to drive it out?"

"Little girl, don't always worry about this. Tell everyone that the day has been set, it's New Year's Day in 1983." The fat man had nothing to hide and announced his wedding date in public.

Teacher Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you will be a bride in more than a month." As he said, his big braided face was like a big red cloth, and he ran to the outer room to hide.

Boss Che smiled on the kang and said, "The fat man and Xiaoyu are married, let's see, Teacher Xiaohua is happy." Then he turned to the fat man: "The fat man is getting married, but our top priority in Kaoshantun, we must handle it well."

"That's up to you, you're busy!" Everyone started to make noises. Big Foot Sister-in-law waited for the old lady to run to the outer room and discussed with Big Braids that they needed to prepare those things: red coats and green pants are essential, and then prepare two pairs of luggage, and the bedding must be bright red. You must not buy yellow ones, saying that they will turn yellow when they live in the future.

The big braid blushed and kept nodding. Aunt Li rushed into the house again and asked the fat man to buy cotton fabrics, prepare to make cotton jackets, cotton pants and bedding, curtains, pillowcases, pillowcases, clothes, new shoes and new socks, and dozens of them were all over the place. The fat man was confused by such a good memory.

"Remember this." Qiqi smiled and handed over a small book and a pencil, and asked, "Do you have my share?"

Aunt Li touched her little head: "Of course there is, I will make you a new outfit and get married."

Qiqi blinked: "Actually, I'm a member of this family long ago."

After Aunt Li finished recording, the fat man was dragged by the boss: "I have more things to do, such as smoking, big red paper for wedding candy, firecrackers and braziers, and the couplets and words of wedding grains, and finally I have to hold a banquet..."

"Just, you can also get a order here. When you go to the market, I will buy whatever you lack. I will give you the money first." The fat man is used to being a hand-off manager and asked him to buy those pieces by himself. It would probably be a big loss of 10 or 8 pounds.

The boss will arrange the banquet and the fat sister-in-law first gave them a thousand yuan to handle the order.

"The marriage between Fatty and Teacher Xiaoyu is better than those in the county. Ask them, who can buy a TV when they get married?" When the big-footed sister-in-law saw that the fat man was paying money, she immediately started to exaggerate.

"If another village girl saw this, she would probably rush to marry us in Kuangshan. Is it, Teacher Xiaohua?" Aunt Li did not forget to tease Xiaohua for a few words, and the girl finally blushed and ran to the outer room.

When the people were dispersed in the evening, the fat man took out the bride list and spread it to Da Braida: "Haha, now your father is relieved to hand you over to me!"

Teacher Xiaohua really knows how to do things, so she pulled Qiqi out. Qiqi was a little sleepy: "Sister Xiaohua, I want to sleep--" As a result, Xiaohua pulled him out of the house and hid in Captain Li's house without saying anything.
