Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

Taking advantage of the time, brothers Shen Youpeng and Shen Youwen brought their new wife back home.

The two rows of bicycles clearing the way were not only the first in the village, but even Huang Xiaxia's family, who came from the city to have a wedding banquet with pride, saw it and couldn't find anything wrong with it.

After all, no matter how good her family's conditions were, they didn't have such a pomp when they first married Huang Xiaxia.

I saw that the Shen family was not as broken as I imagined.

Sister-in-law Huang Xiaxia and later Bao Taiqing both looked a bit confused.

You must know that before they came here, they had been singing and imagining how poor the Shen family was and how much they had to lose and lose their value.

So you came all the way here to show them this?

The neatly erected large tile-roofed house, the clean courtyard paved with cement, and the aroma of meat that constantly wafts from the kitchen to make people's tongues salivate...

That's it?That's it!

Even the clothes of the Shen family seem to be better than those from the city!

Bao Taiqing gritted his teeth and said, "Will the yellow mud straw house that we agreed to collapse when a gust of wind blows over it?"

"The promised country place doesn't have any interesting things. How about a large clove of garlic and a banquet with potatoes and cabbage?"

"We promised that country people won't be allowed to appear on stage, so what if they dress in rags and make people cower, so that I won't be surprised?!"

These words were all told to him by sister-in-law Huang Xiaxia herself.

Thinking back to how stupid he was when he immediately decided to come over to pick up the joke and watch the fun... Bao Taiqing himself felt embarrassed.

Don't look at the fact that Huang Xiaxia's sister-in-law can't speak when she meets Huang Xiaxia. She just doesn't want to talk properly. It's different when she meets Bao Taiqing, even if she is questioned by Bao Taiqing.

She can also do it with a smile on her face.

Not to mention how good-tempered she is, it's like there are two people in front of Huang Xiaxia, her sister-in-law.

"Don't be impatient yet." Sister-in-law Huang Xiaxia said coquettishly, "Isn't this all just for the sake of appearance? No matter how poor a family is, they have to fight for glory at times like this."

"Especially if the Shen family's two sons are getting married today, it would be ridiculous if they don't drain the family's wealth."

She said sweetly: "The situation of the Shen family is different from yours. His family pretends to be fat, but your family doesn't need to pretend, they are just fat!"

Bao Taiqing: "Ang?!"

Sister-in-law Huang Xiaxia sneered: "No, I didn't mean that. You know what I mean, I just said it to suit your words. Your family is not fat, but your family's conditions are worlds apart from those of the Shen family."

"Your family is the sky, and the Shen family is the earth."

Mother-in-law Huang Xiaxia said next to her: "Yes, the marriage of the two sons may deplete the family's financial resources. How can you compare with his family? Your family can eat meat every day, but his family can?"

Bao Taiqing didn't say anything. Although his family didn't have the conditions to eat meat every day, they could only eat it twice a week.

But that's better than a lot of people.

Being praised like this, he felt a lot calmer. Also, he came here to watch Huang Chengcheng's in-laws' jokes, so there was no need to compare today.

Huang Chengcheng's mother-in-law's family was not as poor as he expected, but compared with his family...heh, didn't they still lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?

Maybe she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it now, but when the Shen family can no longer open the pot, she, Huang Chengcheng, will understand whether Youqing can drink enough water.

Grandma Huang Xiaxia had a mean look on her face when she was arranging people. She covered her mouth and smiled like an old hen: "Gee, maybe the whole family has been tightening their belts for a year just to show off their eyes and long faces today..."

Not finished yet.

Behind him, Shen Xiaobao and Shen Sanhe happened to pass by the table where they were sitting.

There were so many people in the courtyard and it was so noisy that the father and son didn't pay attention to what the angry table was chatting about.

Just looking at people talking and laughing, he thought he was happy, so Shen Sanhe spontaneously helped his nephew entertain him——

"Hey, I haven't seen him before. Are you relatives of Youwen's wife?"

The relatives of Chen Hoezi's family are not like this. They look pretentious, eating candies and pinching their orchid fingers.

Gee.

I arranged it in my heart, but smiled enthusiastically on my face.

Shen Sanhe patted Bao Taiqing on the shoulder: "It's nice to eat and drink. It's not good to entertain the people who came today. I'll ask my nephew to come over with his new wife later to toast you with a few more glasses of wine."

Mother-in-law Huang Xiaxia was a little unhappy when her conversation was interrupted, and she answered Shen Sanhe indifferently: "Who are you?"

Shen Sanhe: "I am Uncle Youwen, and I am also the deputy captain of our production team!"

He introduced people like this now, and Shen Xiaobao felt deeply embarrassed.

But no matter how embarrassed he is, he can't fix it. This is his own father, and he can't dismantle his own father in front of outsiders, he can only help support him.

Shen Xiaobao: "Yes, we are relatives of my husband's family. We don't have enough manpower to help entertain today."

While they were talking, someone from the village who had seen Shen Sanhe came over to say hello.

The people in the village were loud, and there was nothing to avoid when joking. He came up and asked when the banquet would start. He had been tightening his belt all day and was waiting for this meal.

Upon hearing the familiar "belt-tightening" remarks, Granny Huang Xiaxia covered her mouth to hide her contemptuous smile.

He exchanged glances with his youngest daughter, and the meaning was very clear - look at how accurate what she just said was.

This place is poor, so if you want to have a good meal in a hurry, you have to tighten your belt in advance and wait.

Poor and devalued.

Bao Taiqing also understood what Granny Huang Xiaxia meant, shook his head and sneered with some pity.

This smile came out of the blue so unexpectedly that Shen Xiaobao was stunned.

He really didn't know who these people were, and no one introduced them to him in advance.

I don’t know what their personalities are, but I just feel that each of them looks more nagging than the other.

But the visitors were guests, and it was obvious from a glance that this was their first time here.

If you don't see your eyes, you're trying to look around. It's like looking at a peep show.

He probably came from the city and had never been to the village. Everything he saw was strange.

If we just leave people alone and let them have fun here, it will be bad if they start fighting with the villagers later.

This kind of thing has happened in other people's banquets in the past. When the banquet was held, the city people disliked the villagers for not being particular about the banquet, and they said a few offensive words in a pretentious manner.

The people in the village are very respectable, and they will immediately take advantage of the situation. No matter what the occasion is, the two families who are getting married will be in trouble.

Afraid that the old thing would happen again, and there wouldn't even be anyone to stop him or help him, Shen Xiaobao was really worried, so he had to grab a young man before leaving.

Please ask Uncle Nie, who just came over to talk to his father, to sit down and help keep him company. Don't act like people from the city come over to have a meal and no one on their side pays attention.

Naturally, Nie Haigui, who was asked to come here, had nothing to be unhappy about.

When I heard that I was going to sit at the same table with city people, I was so excited!

It's not that she dislikes city people, but... city people are so thin-skinned, especially those who take food at a glance. She can't save her face to grab food!

Isn't this Fuwowo? He hurriedly accepted it and repeatedly promised Shen Sanhe and his son that it would be designated for the care of Youwen's relatives.

There is a word that can be said - you feel at home!

Shen Sanhe didn't listen to Nie Haigui's farts. This man was a good friend of his and had played well with him before he became the vice-captain.

To sum it up in one sentence - How can there be an honest person if you play well with him?

Although Nie Haigui is quite senior in the village, the younger generation have to call him uncle when they see him.

But in fact, he was only seven or eight years older than him. He was afraid that Lao Nie would offend him and lose him to the Shen family, so Shen Sanhe even made gestures to him before leaving.

It's not some amazing sign language, it's just a 'code language' that the two of them figured out when they were playing cards together.

The meaning is also very simple - if you dare to pull your crotch today, I will take your head off later!

After finishing a set of gestures, Nie Haigui's brain was "beat" to wake up.

Don't dare to float.

He smiled at Huang Xiaxia's family, his smile looked so simple.

At first glance, he looks like an 'honest person' who is easy to fool around.

Mother-in-law Huang Xiaxia: "I just heard cousin Youwen call you uncle?"

Nie Haigui: "Yes, I am the senior one in the village, and the kids all call me that. Why don't you call me over to entertain you? This is a high standard in our village."

"My generation doesn't treat guests easily, it's all the juniors who do it."

Give yourself a good bragging, Huang Xiaxia's family saw his "sincerity" and immediately believed him to be true.

Bao Taiqing also joined in the conversation: "It seems to me that the food today is good. The economic level of your village is quite high."

His original intention was to make Tu Lu, an honest farmer, tell the truth by saying this.

For example, these are all used to prop up the show. In fact, the poor are almost unable to open the pot.

Another example is to lead the other party to expose the shortcomings from the perspective of a fellow villager, what if he can reveal something about the Shen family.

In his experience, the poor relatives he met in the city were all complaining and demanding behind their backs.

Just give me a ladder and you can pour out the bitter water in a sudden burst.

Bao Taiqing was worried that he didn't know what to make of Huang Chengcheng's in-laws' joke, and he was unwilling to admit that the Shen family was indeed not bad either.

So Nie Haigui came to entertain them, which was like hitting his gun.

If he didn't lie to Nie Haigui, who would he lie to?

Especially since this peasant looked so careless and stupid, Bao Taiqing was not afraid that he would not be able to hear the truth.

As expected, he had just finished talking about how Dayang Village's economic level was quite high, and the Shen family had prepared very good food for the running banquet today.

I saw Nie Haigui's head shaking like a rattle...
