Siheyuan: The final winner

Page 471

Qin Jingmeng smiled and said: "So, after Jia Dongxu's death, her life will be easier."

"But even if it's better, it's not enviable. After all, no good woman wants to be a widow!"

"And me? Although I married a countryman, your big brother Zhang is skilled and hardworking, and earns a lot of money."

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law also take care of me. They would rather be tired by themselves, and don't let me go to the fields to earn centimeters, so I just do some housework."

"I have raised some chickens and ducks at home over the years, and they complained that I would not enjoy myself!"

"Tell me, compared with Huairu, whose life is easier?"

Qin Jingru affirmed: "Of course my sister's life is easier!"

"Hehe, right? I've heard Ping An say that her mother-in-law treats her badly." Qin Jingmeng said with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, let her go out to wash things while still in confinement, and don't give her good food, these days..."

Qin Jingru nodded and said with a smile, "It's true."

"Not long after she was born the year before last, her mother-in-law Jia Zhang sent her to the countryside to ask for food."

"Maybe I just got out of confinement, my feet were unstable, and it was snowing again, so I fell all the way."

"After arriving in the village, Auntie and the others were angry, but they refused to let them into the house, crying..."

"Ping An helped her for a few days, and because of this, she almost ruined my good relationship with Ping An!"

Qin Jingmeng frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "And this matter, why haven't I heard from my parents?"

"Uh, I didn't tell my parents about this, because I was afraid they would quarrel." Qin Jingru laughed dryly.

Qin Jingmeng nodded, and said: "She has a lot of thoughts and said a lot of big things, but in fact she can't see others well."

"You live in the same courtyard with her now, and you should be careful when you get along with her in the future, so don't suffer from her."

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "I'm not stupid, ever since that incident, I've been guarding against her!"

"Furthermore, with Ping An around, she doesn't dare to have bad thoughts anymore. Do you really think Ping An is easy to mess with?"

Qin Jingmeng smiled gratifiedly, and asked curiously, "What's the matter with Yushui?"

"It seems that I have an unusual relationship with you, even very close to me."

Qin Jingru nodded and said in a humming voice: "I really have a good relationship with her, we talk about almost everything."

Before he finished speaking, He Yushui walked in with a happy face, and said with a smile:

"The worship ceremony will be held soon."

The Qin Jingmeng and sisters also stopped talking, and pulled He Yushui to say something else.

……

It's almost time, the auditorium in the living room has already been set up, and you can worship at any time.

Jiang Ping'an went to the kitchen first, and ordered Nan Yiji to say:

"After the worship, when the banquet starts, you carry the bucket of bone soup to each house."

"According to the person, each person will make a large bowl of soup, and if there is any surplus after sharing, all will be given to Jia's family."

"After all, Qin Huairu and Jingru are relatives, let their family take advantage of it today."

Liu Hongchang nodded and said with a smile: "Nanyi wants to share the food here, so let me go with Master He!"

"It's best for me to go. Master Liu is not familiar with the courtyard, so he doesn't know how many people there are in each household." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Pingan went to the bedroom, saw Qin Jingru and the others still chatting, and said with a smile:

"Stop talking, Jingru will go out with me. After we pay our respects, we will be husband and wife both legally and in fact."

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward, followed by Qin Jingmeng and He Yushui.

The four came to the living room, Qin Jingmeng and He Yushui stopped, Jiang Pingan took Qin Jingru to the front and stood up.

"Worship!" Someone yelled loudly in the yard, and immediately relatives and friends came to the door to watch.

Yan Jiecheng heard the shouts, lit a string of firecrackers in the yard, and they crackled for a while.

In the middle of the front of the living room, there is a portrait of a great man.

The table was covered with a red cloth, and on it were two red thermos bottles with the word "Happy" and some melon seeds, peanuts and fruits.

There are also two thick red candles on both sides, burning blazingly.

The people in the room also stood up and moved aside to watch the ceremony.

Factory Manager Yang walked to the front, took two red flowers and handed them to Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru to pin them to his chest.

Qin Jingru's parents also sat at the table at the moment, and Qin Jingmeng and his wife stood sideways behind them.

Soon, the two pinned the safflower, the sound of firecrackers outside also stopped, and the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Director Yang raised his hand and looked at his watch, then smiled and said, "Then let's start?"

"At the beginning, the bride and groom are not in a hurry, but everyone is in a hurry." Deputy Factory Director Li beside him said with a smile.

Director Yang nodded with a smile, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"The bride and groom are invited to sing "Dongfanghong" together."

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru held hands together and looked at each other.

Qin Jingru was a little shy, Jiang Pingan started to sing, and tightened her hands to remind her not to lose the chain.

"The east is red, the sun is rising..."

Jiang Pingan sang a few lines, and Qin Jingru followed in a low voice.

Then I gradually relaxed, became more courageous, and sang along loudly.

This song is engraved in the bones, and children can sing it, and it is catchy.

Not only the two of them were singing, but Director Yang and other cadres, as well as the onlookers outside, also joined in and sang along.

In the end, it became a chorus, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Chapter 568 The wedding banquet is rich, Qin Jingru and Qin Jingmeng bicker

The singing is loud and clear.

"He seeks happiness for the people, Huer Hey, he is the great savior of the people, the great savior!"

After the song is sung, it is followed by the study of the supreme instruction of the great man.

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru had already memorized many quotations, and without thinking about it, they recited at the same time.

After the recitation, there was thunderous applause, and the people were deeply encouraged and all of them were in high spirits.

Factory Manager Yang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very good! You are all very enlightened!"

Then the ceremony continued.

"The groom and the bride bow three times to the great man!"

"The groom and the bride bow three times to their parents!"

"The groom and the bride bow to each other three times!"

"The groom and the bride salute the guests and distribute wedding candies..."

He Yushui handed over a plate, which was full of fruit candies.

Jiang Pingan accepted it with a smile, and led Qin Jingru to the door.

The two worked together to spill the sugar on the plate.

Regardless of adults or children, they are all scrambling for candy, laughing and joking, so lively.

Then the two turned around, and Jiang Pingan gave out cigarettes to the leader, two cigarettes each, which means that good things come in pairs.

He Yushui handed over another plate of toffee, Qin Jingru took it, followed Jiang Ping'an, and distributed candies to everyone.

The people in the room were the leader and Qin Jingru's natal family, and each grabbed a handful of candies.

He Yushui carried a cloth bag and followed behind, adding more sugar when there was not much sugar in the plate.

During the period, people who smoked or not took it with both hands and sent blessings, beaming with joy.

After the people in the room finished distributing cigarettes and candies, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru went out of the living room and came to the courtyard.

At this time, everyone was still given two cigarettes, but only a few candies were given out.

No one scrambled or said anything. These days, supplies are scarce, and Jiang Ping'an's family is very generous today.

At this time, Liu Hongchang and He Yushui brought out a large bucket of lively bone soup, and Liu Hongchang said loudly:

"To celebrate the wedding of Comrade Jiang Ping'an and Comrade Qin Jingru, a bowl of bone soup was distributed to each of them."

"No matter how many people there are in the family, one counts as one, even the one in the stomach."

"Everyone go home and prepare the bowls, waiting for us to deliver them to your door."

The crowd immediately burst into smiles, were overjoyed, clapped their hands and applauded, very excited.

They really didn't expect Jiang Ping'an to be so embarrassing. Although he didn't treat guests, he could invite people to drink bone soup.

Bone soup, even during the Chinese New Year, is not available to every household.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ping'an's mass base was good, this matter was handled openly.

So if you say nice words, don't ask for money, for fear of saying bad things and saying less.

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru were also very happy. On a big day, don't you just want to have fun?

He Yushui didn't follow at the moment, the sugar on the plate was enough.

After distributing the cigarettes and sugar, the banquet has already been set up, and the food is fragrant, making people salivate.

All the people in the courtyard went home except for those invited by Jiang Ping'an.

The food is gluttonous, although everyone is thinking about it, but no one is ignorant and uncomfortable in the past.

The two tables in the room were full of leaders.

Jiang Pingan knew that she would feel uncomfortable taking Qin Jingru there.

So let her go to her parents and have dinner with her relatives.

Jiang Ping'an came to Director Yang's table to drink and eat with these senior cadres.

"Hehe, no wonder something like that happened on the third day of the first lunar month." Director Yang said with a smile.

"You say you don't want to treat guests, but you still set up eight tables, good guy, it's a big deal!"

Jiang Ping'an said with a dry smile: "I only prepared four tables, but there are more people from Jingru's family."

"Isn't it good to have too many people?" Deputy Factory Manager Li answered with a smile.

"If you say it was just a few years ago, when you were good years ago, if you didn't set up dozens of tables, it wouldn't make sense."

The city leader smiled and said: "Nowadays, frugality is advocated, low-key and restrained, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

"Hehe, that's true, come on, don't just talk, drink, drink wedding wine!" Director Yang raised his glass and laughed.

In the yard, there are six banquet tables.

Originally thought that seven tables would be enough, but now the eight tables are still full.

Of course, there were vacancies for Fuyu, so Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were divided.

"Tsk tsk, Director Jiang's marriage is really beautiful!" Liu Haizhong exclaimed.

He Yuzhu answered: "Isn't it? There are people from the factory, the city, the district, and the streets."

"We people have something to do, and if we can invite a leader over, it's considered very respectable."

"But look at Director Jiang's work, not only can he invite leaders, but they are all great leaders!"

Xu Damao laughed and said: "Silly Zhu, you also have times when you are convinced?"

"Cut, don't talk about me, are you not convinced?" He Yuzhu asked him with a sideways glance.

Then he pointed at the banquet and said with a sneer: "Xu Damao, I'm not even saying that you will get married in the future, you can invite the leader."

"Let's talk about the noodles, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork knuckles, a pack of Huazi for each table, and two bottles of Moutai."
