I really just want to make money

Chapter 280
The carrots are sweet, looking forward to the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year period, more and more people hold banquets. Those who get married, relocate, and even some people who have their birthdays deliberately postpone or advance the time to the Chinese New Year period.

In addition to the Chinese New Year dinner, Zhang Hua basically didn’t have a meal at home during the Chinese New Year. At first, Chen Jun felt that the banquet was lively, but after a few days of continuous eating, he couldn’t take it anymore and asked Zhang Hua to go alone.

"I came back smelling of alcohol again, hurry up and take a bath!" Chen Jun said to Zhang Hua who had just entered the door with some complaints.

Although Zhang Hua reeked of alcohol, he was not drunk, and said with a smile, "I don't wash it, I just washed it yesterday, save water, someone in the production team will marry a daughter tomorrow, and they asked me to take you there for a wedding, give me Save face!"

Chen Jun sighed, leaned into Zhang Hua's arms, and said, "I'm tired of eating banquets!"

"Just go and play!" Zhang Hua said with a smile.

He was specially invited, but Chen Jun took his son and Zhang Hua to go with him the next day.

It is cheaper to hold banquets in rural areas than in cities. With the current prices, you can basically get 50 yuan for materials for a table, and the favor money for everyone is only about 20 yuan. If the family is more difficult, you can give [-] yuan.

Zhang Hua doesn't care how much others give him, he always gives 50 yuan, if he is a relative, he will give 100 yuan, and if he is very close, he will give [-] yuan.

Today this household is just an ordinary relationship, so giving 50 yuan is fine.

In this day and age, when marrying a daughter, you still send off your relatives in the morning, so you only eat three meals, and you can eat whatever you want last night. This morning, after dinner, relatives send relatives to the man's house, and those who help can stay for lunch.

Looking at the table full of hard dishes, Chen Jun sighed: "I have a big meal in the morning, and it's on your side!"

"After eating, I will have to walk ten miles to see off my relatives. If you don't eat better, you will be hungry soon!" Zhang Hua laughed, then pointed to the next table, and said, "Look, there is still a drink Morning drink!"

"Really." Chen Jun smiled bitterly, and then asked: "Why do you still walk to see off your relatives?"

"Of course it's open to traffic, you can charter a car, and if it's not open to traffic, you have to walk." Zhang Hua explained.

In fact, it’s not completely closed to traffic. It’s just that there are four or five miles of small roads after a long circle. It’s better to walk directly to save a little fare. After all, there are quite a lot of people going there.

After breakfast, it was time to see off the bride. The girl was dressed in red, with a big red flower on her chest, which was a bridal attire. Her face was also very clean, so she put on a little lipstick.

Chen Jun asked a little puzzled: "What do you do with a pair of chopsticks for the bride?"

"I lost it!" Zhang Hua said with a sigh.

"Throwing what?"

The bride grabbed a handful of chopsticks and threw them behind her. Her younger brother caught most of them with the back of his clothes with everyone's help.

"Once the chopsticks are lost, I will never eat my mother's meal, and I will be a guest when I come back!"

Chen Jun looked at Zhang Hua fiercely, then sighed, and asked, "Are you also patriarchal here?"

"It's all the same, but it will be better in the future. Most of the post-[-]s are only children, so they naturally like girls when they have no choice." Zhang Hua laughed.

The bride was originally happy, but the moment she threw away the chopsticks, she couldn't help but get red eyes after all.

Seeing that the sending-off ceremony was almost over, Zhang Hua was about to go back, but was stopped by the bride's father.

"Well, Hua Zi, cousin, I beg you to do something!" The old man looked embarrassed.

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "Biao Shu is serious. If you have something to say, just tell me what you want."

"Can your car bring some dowry for Sister Chun? There are a few big pieces that would be too far to carry all the way there. If you can give one piece, give it away. My cousin will give you a red envelope later!"

"Okay, what does it matter!" Zhang Hua said with a smile. He thought it was just a drink, but he didn't expect to get an errand to see off his relatives. It's a matter of face, so Zhang Hua agreed directly.

In this day and age, dowry is usually only a few bedding, beds, cabinets, etc. If there are home appliances, it is the best.

This is generally arranged according to how many gifts the man gave, and it also depends on whether the parents are willing to part with it. This one is quite generous, with a 1.8-meter solid wood bed, a large wardrobe made of solid wood, a large refrigerator and a large color TV. These large items are really not easy to carry for long distances.

Zhang Hua first asked people to load all the things into the car, and fixed them with ropes to lengthen the bamboo poles. He wanted to close the door, but the person who sent the relatives to carry the things discussed it, and sent a boy over and said, "Brother Huazi, let us also ride in the car." Inside, I will have to work harder later, if I walk to follow, I am afraid it will be easy to delay."

Zhang Hua looked at the crowd and said, "Wait a minute, there is a long dirt road, and it's very bumpy. Can all of you squeeze into the car?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely be stable!" Everyone said one after another.

Zhang Hua hesitated for a while, but still agreed, and said, "Come and sit in the driver's cab. I'll try to drive as slowly as possible later."

As the car swayed and swayed on the dirt road with potholes, Zhang Hua kind of missed the villages of later generations.

When they got to the place, Zhang Hua helped unload the things, and then took turns with everyone to carry the things to the bride's house.

Walking slippery and slippery on the path, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents, especially after so many people in front have trampled the road, it is even more difficult for people behind to walk, let alone carry heavy things.

When they encountered a very narrow field ridge, everyone put their things down one after another. There was a paddy field on one side and a field of soybeans on the other. If they accidentally fell into the paddy field, it would be over.

Someone suggested to go to the bridegroom's house and get a hoe to shovel the muddy mud on the road. Some people said that it would be fine to take a few straws to spread it out, and some people said that getting a bamboo stick for each person would be enough to walk over.

But the bride's father said: "Their family still has a lot of face in this area, so they just stepped on the soil directly, so as not to delay the time, and the big deal is to pay a little money afterwards."

Your master has already spoken, and everyone naturally has no objections. Zhang Hua wants to persuade you. No matter how much face you have, it’s not easy to get rid of the truth first. The family lost face, thinking that a few peas were not worth much, so Zhang Hua didn't say much.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Hua and the others arrived at the groom's house with their belongings, they chased dozens of people with poles, hoes and other things from behind.
