Chapter 4

In the 80s, the most important thing for getting married in rural areas was to kill the pig.

After a big fat pig is killed, all parts are served as vegetables, and then paired with some vegetables, it is a wedding banquet.

Before 84, all the pigs raised in the family were from the commune. When the pigs grew up, they had to be handed over to the commune for slaughter, and each household could only get a small amount of meat.

After the people's commune ends, the pigs raised belong to you.

Lu Shanhe wanted to go quickly to see if the pig that had been raised at home for ten months had been killed.

There was little fodder in the countryside in this era.

It takes at least a year for a pig to grow fat.

In order to hold a wedding banquet for Lu Shanhe, the family killed the pig that had not yet grown up. Pork in the town sold for 1.2 yuan per pound in the city and 1.5 yuan per pound in the city. This pig was also the family's rare property. If It would be a real pity to be killed!

Unfortunately, it was already too late when Lu Shanhe arrived at the pig pen.

The pig had been killed a long time ago. The big wooden barrel was filled with a basin of pig blood, the internal organs were piled together, and the pig was being slaughtered.

Why!late!

However, Lu Shanhe still asked his neighbor who was slaughtering to stop moving and leave the pigs here.

He Hui chased after him and said anxiously: "Shanhe, what should we do now?"

Grandma Wang Sufen saw that so many guests were still there and her daughter-in-law was not married back. The He family lost face and cursed He Hui again.

"You damn girl! You're going to marry a wife without even asking for the bride price! You have to find a way to collect the bride price yourself, and Su Wanqing must marry her! The wedding has been publicized to the neighbors. This is ugly. Our He family cannot afford it!"

"Also, your two brothers worked hard at this wedding banquet, but they didn't go to work. They stayed at home to help you. They also lent you tables, chairs and benches. You still have to pay for the work money. superior."

As Wang Sufen spoke, she wiped her hands with her apron and said, "Unlucky, really unlucky! Lu Linshan, a wimp, gave birth to a wimp son even though he was a wimp!"

Seeing his grandmother's sarcastic look, Lu Shanhe was furious.

My grandson is getting married, and my uncle is still being paid for helping!

Seeing his mother's anxious and uncomfortable look, Lu Shanhe swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.

Lu Shanhe knew that his parents were not favored by the He family. The first thing he did when he was reborn was to find a way to make money so that his parents could separate from the He family!

He Hui is the second daughter of the He family. The He family was poor when He Hui was born.

He Hui had just been born, and his father He Fangmin was about to send He Hui away.

It's a pity that she is a girl and no one wants her.

He Hui's nutrition could not keep up with her childhood and she was weak and sick. When she was two years old, her father abandoned her in the woods and left her to fend for herself. In the end, she was sent back by a neighbor, but He Hui's right ear was missing. Rats in the woods gnawed it.

Thinking of this, Lu Shanhe's nose felt sour and his eyes were slightly red.

In the last life, He Hui originally thought that she could live a good life with Lu Shanhe and Su Wanqing, but in the end she was rejected by Su Wanqing. In this life, Lu Shanhe said that his mother should not be wronged again.

Lu Shanhe walked to the courtyard and said to the guests: "We are not getting married anymore. Let's all leave. Thank you for your support. Please come back."

Sure enough, there were relatives and friends in the neighbors whispering and pointing at Lu Shanhe.

"I heard that the bride price was not settled."

"I heard that Su Wanqing's biological father has become a high official and is coming back. He wants to solve Su Wanqing's household registration and job problems. Now Su Wanqing must not like Lu Shanhe."

Wang Sufen felt that her face was dull, so she hurriedly came out and said, "The wedding date has not been determined yet. I will invite everyone after it is determined."

In the hall, Lu Shanhe's grandfather He Fangmin, grandmother Wang Sufen, two uncles, aunts, cousins, and Lu Shanhe's parents, sister, and sister were all there.

Everyone sat around a big table as usual.

Lu Shanhe and Lu Linshan sit at the end of the table, which also represents their identities. Among the men in the family, these two are the only ones surnamed Lu, and the others are all surnamed He.

Grandpa He Fangmin took a puff of dry cigarette and said: "Lin Shan, He Hui, Shanhe's wedding must be done. You two will find a way to raise money to make up for the bride price. Both of you have got marriage certificates. If you don't have a wedding, you won't accept it." , what words!”

Wang Sufen added: "This marriage must be accepted, no matter what, we must marry Su Wanqing back. Su Wanqing's father is back and has become a high official. In the future, Lu Shanhe will be a city man and can still solve work problems!" When the time comes, ask Su Wanqing's father to help and arrange a job for Wenxing in a factory in the city to solve the household registration problem in the city."

He Wenxing is the second cousin of Lu Shanhe and the son of his second uncle He Dazhi.

Sure enough, Wang Sufen was thinking about her own grandson.

Even the pros and cons of Lu Shanhe's marriage were considered from the perspective of the He family rather than whether Lu Shanhe was happy.

Uncle He Dayong also said: "That's right, the textile factory is a state-owned enterprise, and regular employees receive a salary of 60 to [-] yuan a month! When the time comes, my sister will be able to bear more of the money for Wen Bin to study in technical secondary school."

Wang Sufen immediately agreed and said: "Yes, the salary of fifty or sixty yuan a month will be divided into ten yuan for Wen Biao to live in a high school. Wen Bin is in a critical period now. Let him study hard in school. He cannot study at the same time. Work-study.”

Li Haiyan, He Dayong's wife and Lu Shanhe's aunt, also said: "Isn't that right! We just love Wen Bin. He is a serious technical secondary school student. He will be assigned a job after graduation. He cannot suffer. It would not be good if the work-study program delays his studies." ”

When he said this, Li Haiyan gave He Hui a strange look, meaning that your child has no future and that's why my He Wenbin attended.

Lu Shanhe felt a sense of nausea. The purpose of these people's marriage was never to consider whether he was happy, but because Su Wanqing would soon have a county household registration, and could also go to work in a textile factory with a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan. , and this salary can be used for He Wenxing to study in technical secondary school!

Lu Shanhe's father, Lu Linshan, is an intellectual. He has educated Lu Shanhe to study since he was a child. With Lu Shanhe's grades, how can he be a high school diploma?As long as you continue your studies successfully, you should have no problem getting into college.

But his family was poor and had no money. When Lu Shanhe was in his second year of high school, he asked his grandparents to borrow money from him, but they both said they didn't have it.

In the end, Grandpa He Fangmin made the final decision, saying that the He family could only concentrate on providing for one technical secondary school student, of course his own grandson.

Let Lu Shanhe start working on the farm at home to earn money, instead of spending money on studying.

Lu Linshan had been squeezed by the He family for a long time, and he did not dare to resist and had a dull personality. In addition, when he was young, he was persecuted for being an intellectual, so he did not dare to mention Lu Shanhe's studying in a technical secondary school or taking the college entrance examination.

When He Wenxing went to Jiangzhou to study in technical secondary school, He Fangmin gave He Wenxing 500 yuan that he had saved from the bottom of the box.

Thinking of this scene, Lu Shanhe felt chilled. He Huike knelt in front of He Fangmin and asked He Fangmin to borrow 50 yuan, but He Fangmin said no.

At this time, Lu Linshan lowered his head, looked dull, and said nothing.

He Hui couldn't help but whispered: "Su Wanqing's mother wants a refrigerator, a washing machine and a tape recorder. The tape recorder works fine, but how can we afford the refrigerator and washing machine?"

"We owe a lot of money for the bride price. A refrigerator costs 300 to 1000 yuan, and Little Swan's single-tub washing machine costs more than [-] yuan. How can we afford more than [-] yuan."

Li Haiyan chuckled and said, "If there are three living people like this, they can't even raise the money for the gift, so why get married?"

Lu Shanhe chuckled and said, "Yes, there are three of us in our family. We work hard and have to pay living expenses, pensions, and help others support students. How can we have money to get married?"

"Uncle, uncle, grandpa and grandma, maybe you can contribute some money and support me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
