1987: Sleepless Tonight

"I'm not sleepy at all, I'm just going to have a bridal chamber, Dad, can you take me there with you?" Nini lay on the seat, acting like a baby to Lu Hao.

She really wanted to go with her to pick up the bride.

"Sit down, haven't I told you? Dad can't stand up when he's driving, let alone touch Dad. If you touch Dad, Dad won't hold the steering wheel firmly, and the car will run sideways after a while." Su Min warned.

When they usually ride in the car, the two also taught Nini a lot of precautions, including some knowledge.

If a child doesn’t understand these things, remind her when she experiences it, which places need to be paid attention to, once or twice is useless, can’t remember, don’t know, but if the number of times is too many, or if you have suffered a loss once, you will remember it.

"I didn't touch Dad's hand, I just helped the chair." Nini sat back on the chair obediently, "Uncle won't marry twice, but only once, if he misses picking up the bride this time I will not be able to pick up my uncle's new wife in the future, and I will be very sad and sad."

As the girl talked, she really pursed her lips, as if she would really feel sad and sad because of this incident.

Emotions came up immediately.

"Then when you arrive at grandpa and grandma's house, you tell your uncle that you want to go with you to pick up the bride." Lu Hao said.

He threw this question to Su Jiangang.

But in fact, it is just to tease Nini and add to the joy of today's festive day.

There must be enough space for 6 cars and several small trucks. Naturally, Nini can also go there, and the journey is not far away.

"Okay, then I'll tell my uncle later, and ask him to take me to pick up the bride." Nini agreed emphatically.

It was still early and the sky was rather dark.

Lu Hao didn't drive fast, not because he was worried about hitting other vehicles. At this point, there were almost no other vehicles on the road, only a few taxis ran past occasionally. There were private cars, but they were very few. Very, very few cars in the unit are still running on the street at such a late hour.

Drive slowly and carefully, mainly because the roads are not so good and easy to walk, even in urban areas, most of the roads are very old.

Potholes.

Jiangcheng has been digging and building roads for decades, but it is still blocked and inconvenient.

It's the same now.

Su Min is pregnant, so she must not be driving too fast, but even if she is not fast, with a car, she will arrive at her father-in-law's house in a short time.

At this point, most people were sleeping, but the courtyard where the old man lived seemed a little lively.

Several cars and vans were parked downstairs.

The long benches, tables and chairs were also taken from the house and placed downstairs, some of which were borrowed from neighbors, and I didn't have so many at home.

Su Xingmin was holding a pack of cigarettes and unpacking them.

"Thank you for coming to help."

"Come on, have a cigarette."

"It's really hard work, everyone, for coming here so early in the morning."

The people who came were all Lu Hao's acquaintances. They came to drive and act as drivers. There were Huang Minghua, Lin Jiacai, Zhang Zhigang, Shi Xiong, Luo Zaijun and others. Li Guangcai also came early to help.

Lin Jiacai and Li Guangcai drove here by themselves. The supply and marketing cooperative had a car, and Lin Jiacai would drive it. Li Guangcai got his driver's license and drove the car assigned to him by the Grain Bureau.

There is no such thing as private use of public cars at the moment. If you want to use a car, you can just say hello to the unit and you can drive over to use it directly.

No one in the unit would say that, let alone Li Guangcai was the leader of the District Grain Bureau, so there was no problem.

Lu Hao's Santana also drove into the small courtyard and stopped at the side, lined up with the previous cars and pickup trucks.

Santana is the most expensive car among these small cars, and it is also very well-respected. It is parked at the front and is intended to be the lead car of the wedding car.

"Brother-in-law is here." Su Jin ran over and did not forget to shout.

Then he opened the rear door, hugged Nini, and helped Su Min get out of the car, "Sister, be careful, it's getting dark, slow down, don't worry."

Be very careful, while speaking, supporting Su Min, lest Su Min accidentally slip and fall.

Lu Hao got out of the car and said to Su Jin, "Take care of your sister. By the way, if there is any food, get some for your sister. Nini hasn't eaten yet."

Su Min is a pregnant woman, so she must not be hungry for too long, she has to eat something first, and Nini is a baby, she is growing up, so she can't go hungry.

At this moment, while there are not so many people, let's eat a little bit first, and when the neighbors who are familiar with each other get up, the old father-in-law Su Xingmin, and the mother-in-law Wang Guizhi, relatives on both sides, including acquaintances, come over and have many things to do It's busy and there are many people, so it's not so good to eat and fill your stomach.

Su Jian just got married. As parents, Su Xingmin and Wang Guizhi, their own relatives, such as brothers and sisters, as well as colleagues and friends, definitely want to invite them. They will come here first, and then go to the hotel together.

This is also the reason why Su Xingmin, Wang Guizhi, and other members of the family did not go there to pick up the relatives, because there are relatives on both sides, and someone needs to be taken care of on both sides, so as not to appear rude.

Marriage is a big project, a big scene of dealing with the world.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, go and do your work. You don't have to worry about sister and Nini. I will take care of them. There are steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks at home. My sister and mother went to buy them early in the morning. Yesterday I just told people to make more, and today they are only sold to my family." Su Jin said, "I also cooked porridge at home."

"Brother-in-law, you greeted the guests and had some breakfast to pad your stomach."

A lot of things are prepared in advance.

"Well, I know." Lu Hao nodded.

He said to Su Min and Nini again, "You two go have some breakfast first, there is still a long time before noon, don't be hungry."

"Okay, then I'll go into the room." Su Min nodded.

Nini did not forget to tell Lu Hao, "Father, I will follow you later to pick up the bride and have a bridal chamber together. Don't run away alone and leave me behind. Remember to call me."

"Okay, when I'm going to pick up the bride later, my father will call you, and go with him, you should tell your uncle first." Lu Hao nodded.

He wouldn't lie to Nini with this request, and it wouldn't be too troublesome to take them there, kid, isn't that the fun?

Su Min and Nini followed Su Jin upstairs and went to the house to have breakfast.

Lu Hao took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Lin Jiacai, Li Guangcai, Zhang Zhigang and the others, "Thank you, I came here early in the morning. If you are still sleepy, smoke a cigarette first to refresh yourself. There are steamed buns at home." , I'll let someone carry it over later, and put it on my stomach."

What Su Xingmin scattered belonged to Su Xingmin, and what he scattered belonged to him.
