Chapter 1147 Wang Xin gets married
Niu Dali was not very happy, and even wanted to die. He felt like he had no desire to live and no interest in life.

He squatted in the corner beside the big pot of rice, where the aroma was the strongest, but he had no intention of getting something to eat, and just kept smoking.

"Look at him." Cai Xiaonian took a piece of meat and ate it, and did not forget to share some with the children.

He was the king of the kids in the yard because he could really play with the other kids, playing pià ji (a kind of round playing cards) and bouncing glass balls. When Wang Yan didn't show up, he was the best.

He smacked his lips and said, "It seems like he has lost his soul. Do you think we should find a celestial being to look after him?"

"Just laugh at him." Wang Yan shook his head with amusement.

At present, the only thing that made Niu Dali desperate was Yao Yuling. What made him really want to die was that he had no hope at all. That was Yao Yuling and Wang Xin got married.

Today, at the turn of spring and summer in 1980, the sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the wind is gentle. People are happy, but Niudali is in a bleak autumn and a cold winter.

Wang Yan's cooking skills were recognized at Ma Yan's graduation banquet. In the past period of time, he was the chef for every big event in the compound, and he received unanimous praise from people. Today, when Wang Xin got married, he was the chef.

Wang Yongge had prepared all kinds of tickets by borrowing and exchanging them quite a while in advance, and he also decided on the menu and reserved some things with Wang Yan a month in advance.

Ma Yan was eating melon seeds on the side: "Brother Dali is indeed infatuated, but his vision is not very good."

Although she did not like Wang Xin with Yao Yuling because of Wang Yan's appearance, she also looked down on Yao Yuling. She told Wang Yan more than once that she thought Yao Yuling was too pretentious, coquettish, frivolous and cheap.

"Look at his lapdog look, is that what you call infatuation? Let me tell you, given the current situation, if Xiao Yaoer throws a bone to him, he will bite it. Just look at how irritating he is."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "It's hard for a hero to resist the temptation of beauty. I've been suffering for two years, but today is the most difficult. It will be better after today."

"That's terrible." Cai Xiaonian shook his head repeatedly. "Look at the situation. It's just short of hanging himself. How can anything good come of this?"

Ma Yan said, "Comrade Cai Xiaonian, Wang Xin is already married, why are you still dating him? When will you stop dating him?"

"Can this be forced? It's not until the turtle and the green bean are attracted to each other." Cai Xiaonian said, "As for me, my brother is the same age as Wang Xin, and they are old enough to register for marriage. What are you two waiting for?"

"We'll get married after we graduate from university." Ma Yan smiled. "It'll only be two years, so hurry up."

"It's definitely faster than you guys."

"Then we'll both be waiting."

"There is one thing I am particularly curious about, dear sister-in-law."

Ma Yan rolled her eyes: "What?"

"I really did say that."

"Just tell me."

"You two have been together for so long, and you haven't done anything, um...what?"

Ma Yan was confused: "What?"

"That's what."

"Did you understand?" Ma Yan looked at Wang Yan who was swinging the big spoon in confusion.

The latter smiled and said, "Ask us if we entered the bridal chamber early."

"Get lost, how dare you say that." Ma Yan used her temper to cover up her embarrassment. She kicked Cai Xiaonian and turned to look at Old Cai on the side. "Uncle Cai, you heard it. This kid is a hooligan. You have to take good care of him."

"I'm going to kick him to death when I get back." Old Cai smiled innocently.

"This is a major matter for the reproduction of our human race. There is nothing to be embarrassed about." Cai Xiaonian muttered to himself.

"Forget it, I can't chat with you anymore. Uncle Cai, hurry up and find him a wife." Ma Yan glared at Cai Xiaonian, hit Wang Yan, then turned and left.

"Tell me how wronged I am." Wang Yan shook his head helplessly.

"She would be too embarrassed to hit me, right?" Cai Xiaonian gloated. "But I understand you. If you two do anything out of line, your father-in-law would probably kill you. But he can't really kill you, right? If you ask me, you are shameless and a scoundrel. Anyway, everyone knows that you two are a good couple. What difference does it make if it's a day earlier or later?"

"Get lost, Lao Ma broke my leg, are you going to pay for the medical expenses? If you want a girl, then go find one quickly, and stop studying others."

"Yes, yes, Xiaonian, stop talking. Your brother will beat you up soon and I won't be able to stop him." Old Cai smiled and was in a very entertaining mood.

Several people laughed out loud, including Brother Wu, who was cooking.

Niu Dali, who was in a state of uncertainty, turned around and looked over. He felt even more sad because these people's happiness disturbed him...

As the deputy section chief of Ningyang Station, Wang Yongge was quite impressive. His only son's wedding was naturally even more lively. Many people from the railway system came, and many factories also sent representatives. In addition to other relatives and friends, some of Yao Yuling's family members also came. The courtyard was also filled with people, and it was very grand.

When all the guests arrived and the auspicious time came, Wang Xin and Yao Yuling got married and met the guests and friends.

They wore suits that didn't fit them well and wedding gowns that were typical of the era. They met their parents, stepped over the fire pot, and played some games. It was a lively process.

Niu Dali's eyes turned red as he watched.

"Don't just drink, eat some food." Cai Xiaonian ate with big mouthfuls. He was eating with Wang Yan and others. The chef's food was very fragrant. It can't be said that they ate better than others, after all, it was the same, but they ate more.

"I can't eat anymore..."

"Stop teasing him. Even food can't stop your mouth." Wang Yan waved his hand. "When the old cow gets angry and hits you, you will behave yourself."

"No, the old silly cow knows what's going on. I trust him."

"I don't even believe in myself." Niu Dali snorted, continued to drink alone, and ignored him.

Everyone at the table laughed and said nothing. Everyone saw how infatuated Niu Dali was. Although everyone in the compound had a negative attitude towards Niu Dali's infatuation, people still recognized him for what he had done.

Everyone was talking and laughing while eating and drinking. Wang Yan and others stood up from time to time to help scoop out some food from the big basin and let some helpers fill it for other tables. Over there, Wang Yongge, Wang Xin and Yao Yuling began to toast and greet each table.

Soon they arrived at the table where Wang Yan and others were sitting. The scene was quite awkward. Everyone knew about Niu Dali's affair. In addition, Lao Ma was also sitting at this table. Lao Ma didn't like Wang Yongge in the first place, so it was really a great honor for him to be seated and drink with him today.

"Come on, Lao Ma, Lao Cai, Lao Wu, Wang Yan, Xiao Nian, and Dali, the three of us are toasting to you. It's been a lot of work, cooking and helping out. I'll do it."

The beaming Wang Xin and his wife poured wine for everyone at the table. Wang Yongge said these polite words and drank the more than one or two ounces of liquor in the glass in one gulp.

He showed the cup around and said, "Lao Ma, drink it up."

Ma Kui didn't say anything, just took a sip.

"Lao Niu, have a drink." Wang Xin held up the wine glass and looked at Niu Dali with red eyes with a smile.

"Brother Dali, I toast to you." Yao Yuling raised her wine glass and smiled at Niu Dali, whose eyes were red but who was determined not to cry.

Since the two of them started dating, Niu Dali has hardly spoken to Wang Xin. Every time Wang Xin greeted him, the latter would just respond with an "um" and "ah" without saying anything else.

Niu Dali was strong enough not to cry, but the two and a half liang of white wine in his hand was spilling out. He hurriedly clinked glasses with Wang Xin and Yao Yuling, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"You two should live a good life, have a baby soon, and live happily together forever."

Niu Dali only looked at the bright and beautiful Yao Yuling. Wang Xin smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing. I hope you can find a good match soon. Come on, Ling'er, have a drink."

After exchanging a glance with Yao Yuling, they both drank a full cup.

Wang Xin drank alcohol, Yao Yuling drank water...

Old Cai waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, go and greet them. We are all family here, you don't have to worry about it. Go ahead."

"Okay, then you guys should eat and drink well. You must eat and drink well."

The three members of the old Wang family exchanged some polite words and joked a few more times before leaving.

"Okay, sit down, old fool. How long are you going to keep watching? Or maybe you can go to the wall and listen to it again tonight before you give up?"

Cai Xiaonian's words were extremely poisonous, and Old Cai slapped him on the back of the head, but Niu Dali no longer cared about it.

He poured himself some wine and drank it in big gulps, while everyone at the table urged him to drink more.

"Don't persuade him, let him drink! Let him drink until he dies!" Old Brother Wu couldn't stand it anymore and just ignored it. "You are really annoying. Come on, I'll give you all the wine on the table. If it's not enough, I'll get you two more bottles. Go home and drink it yourself. You are a real man, but you are whining like a woman. Get out of here."

Niu Dali drank fast, but he was not drunk yet. He was startled and shuddered. Perhaps it was because of this shock that his brain was fine, but his stomach could not hold it anymore. His throat loosened and his mouth bulged subconsciously.

Wang Yan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He reached out and slapped Niu Dali on the chest, knocking back his intention.

Then he tilted his head to Cai Xiaonian and said, "I'll leave it to you. Help him go to the toilet to vomit, and then take him home. Leave some food for him later. Go ahead."

"Well, this is my fate of hard work. You say you feel uncomfortable, but why are you still bothering me, you old fool." Cai Xiaonian muttered to himself and helped Niu Dali leave the table.

"I'm telling you, I just can't stand him being like this." Old Brother Wu scolded Niu Dali, full of disgust. "But luckily he still has his sense. If he gets drunk and makes a scene, it will be really a scene."

The few of them stopped talking about Niu Dali, the spoiler, and turned to other topics, drinking wine, eating meat, talking and laughing, and the days were peaceful for a while...

By the afternoon, the most drunkards had left, leaving only a group of people in the courtyard to clean up the mess after the excitement. Organizing a banquet and taking care of things is not easy. Although everyone ate and drank, they were also exhausted.

After cleaning up, people lost their energy and sat lazily in the yard, chatting idly.

"Where are you going?" Ma Yan saw Wang Yan taking things and going out.

"I left the food for Niu Dali, but this kid got drunk himself."

"I thought you left it for our family. Come on, I'll go with you and take a look."

Wang Yan smiled and went out with Ma Yan.

As soon as I came out, I heard Cai Xiaonian say, "Where are you two going?"

"I left some food for Niu Dali. He should be sober now, so he should eat something."

"Together."

So, the three of them went to Niu Dali's house together. At this time, Niu Dali was staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. His soul had been sucked out and his spirit was shattered. He looked as lifeless as a walking corpse.

"I really need to ask a deity to help me get rid of this. Don't let this attract any evil spirits..."

Niu Dali, who was lying on the bed, said, "I'm fine. There's no need to look for a great immortal."

"It's fine, let's get up and eat." Ma Yan knocked on the table, "You too, what's so good about Yao Yuling? You are obsessed with this girl."

"It's good or bad, it's useless now."

Niu Dali stood up and sat at the table, eating the leftovers left by Wang Yan.

In fact, the leftovers from this kind of banquet tasted very good. The various meat and vegetable dishes were mixed together to create a different flavor. Wang Yan loved to eat it, but he didn't have many opportunities to eat it.

Niu Dali also eats with great relish and big mouthfuls.

"You've eaten so much that I want to have another bite. Do you two want some?" Cai Xiaonian asked politely.

Wang Yan and Ma Yan both shook their heads. Cai Xiaonian took the bowl and chopsticks, poured himself half a glass of white wine and drank it, and then persuaded Niu Dali to come.

Niu Dali didn't say anything, just listened and ate with big mouthfuls. Cai Xiaonian didn't care either, he just kept chanting.

Perhaps because he was full and finally had strength, Niu Dali waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, stop talking. Wang Yan, I remember you told me before that the country is going to change its policies. I heard that things are different in Shenzhen now?"

Without Wang Yan saying anything, Cai Xiaonian answered: "That's really different. We need to develop the economy. Now there are many people selling things on our bus. We sell everything. You are burning the boiler in the front, so you can't feel it. It's so lively every day. What's the matter? Do you have any ideas?"

"A little bit. I also heard that it's easy to make money in the south now. You can make a lot of money by trading some things."

Niu Dali lit a cigarette, not forgetting to share one with Wang Yan and Cai Xiaonian. He took a big puff and sighed as he exhaled the smoke. "They are married, and I don't have much hope. Now they have become a joke in our courtyard. There is no point for me to stay here. Instead of working dirty and tired to earn a few dozen yuan, I might as well go to the south to see what happens. What if I become a millionaire someday? Don't you agree?"

"I dare not say anything about this, dear brother, you should speak first."

"Who dares to say anything? This is a matter of life." Wang Yan shook his head. "We can't influence your choice. As long as you have made up your mind and want to go, then go. No one can stop you. Well, you are so hurt. It's nothing serious, so I won't say anything more. You decide whether to go or not. I'm leaving now."

"Then I'll leave too. I'm such a gossip. I can't bear this responsibility."

"Oh, you knew that." Ma Yan sneered.

"You have a clear understanding of yourself, and that's an advantage."

The three men ignored Niu Dali and left.

Just when I was about to go back, Wang Xin came out staggeringly.

"Groom, why are you here if you don't want to be affectionate with your wife? You drank so much, how can you still get up?"

"I'm not drunk." Wang Xin came over and raised his head to Niu Dali's house, "How is it?"

"I'm deeply hurt. I'm thinking about going to the south to make a fortune."

Wang Xin lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground: "It has nothing to do with me. I have never done anything wrong to him. Why can't he figure it out?"

"Maybe this is love..."

"This is unrequited love, what kind of love is this?" Wang Xin scratched his head. "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, we can't control him if he is not related to us. Wang Yan, I heard that Lao Hu seems to be promoted to the captain of the criminal police brigade?"

"Uncle Wang, what did you say? That's true."

"What about us? You've been working as a train police officer for two years, and you've almost caught all the professional thieves. Aren't you satisfied?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you done with it?"

"I've done enough. I can even catch thieves. What's the point? There's no challenge at all. We have to make progress and have something to pursue, Comrade Wang Yan."

Wang Yan smiled but said nothing...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
