Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

three days later.

The time came three days later.

On Zhang Ziming's wedding day, although he did not receive a marriage certificate.

But in rural areas, the wedding ceremony is more important.

Having a banquet means getting married.

This is the unanimous view of all rural people.

Early in the morning, Lin Yugang drove back in a jeep from the county food factory.

Not attending the wedding, but acting as a driver.

This jeep was borrowed by Zhang Ziming for his wedding.

Even if Zhang Ziming doesn't speak, Xu Xingwen will arrange it.

In the early 80s, it was unprecedented to be able to have a bicycle to meet a bride.

Bringing a jeep here is definitely the first of its kind in every village in the world.

"Ziming, your wedding is really grand. When I get married, you can also help me drive."

Lin Yugang's excitement came from the bottom of his heart.

A few months ago, I would have never imagined that he would still be able to drive a jeep.

All these changes came from my cousin-in-law Zhang Ziming.

Lin Yugang knows how to be grateful.

"Okay, no problem. When you get married, I'll find a Mercedes-Benz for you to use."

Zhang Ziming agreed wholeheartedly.

"Mercedes-Benz? What is a Mercedes-Benz?"

Lin Yugang was a little confused.

Zhang Ziming was also speechless for a moment.

Yes, there is no Mercedes-Benz in China yet.

At present, apart from this Jeep 212 model, the only domestically produced cars seem to be Hongqi and Dongfeng.

There are also some imported cars, but most of them are brands imported from other socialist countries. There are many brands from Eastern Europe, and Zhang Ziming can't even name them.

"Uh..., Mercedes-Benz is also a brand. Forget it, I will drive this Jeep to welcome you when the time comes."

Lin Yugang still approves of Jeep 212, but has never heard of the others.

When the time was almost up, Zhang Ziming got into the jeep, followed by a tractor and a bicycle.

The Zhang family is a large family, with many uncles and brothers within the five realms, so the procession to welcome the bride is naturally huge.

Of the total distance of three miles, the wedding team occupied one mile.

"Yuxin, I'm here to pick you up."

While still outside the house, Zhang Ziming shouted into the house.

Lin Yuxin in the room looked shy.

If I go to Zhang Ziming's house today, it won't be a visit.

That was Lin Yuxin's home, and this time she left, it was considered home.

From today on, she is Zhang Ziming's bride.

There is both joy and reluctance in getting married.

Thinking of leaving her parents, Lin Yuxin felt a little bit reluctant to leave despite her shy joy.

The only good thing is that my mother's condition has improved.

In the early 80s, wedding receptions were not too fancy and did not involve blocking the door and asking for red envelopes like in later generations.

Thank God for being able to eat big white steamed buns. How can I ask for red envelopes?

However, Zhang Ziming still prepared several red envelopes.

Especially brother-in-law Lin Yuhao, that is indispensable.

According to custom, before receiving the bride and leaving, the groom needs to change his shoes, and his brother-in-law is responsible for the new shoes.

Therefore, after putting on the shoes brought by his brother-in-law, Zhang Ziming left a big red envelope.

Brother-in-law Lin Yuhao was grinning from ear to ear. This red envelope was at his own discretion and he would definitely not hand it over.

When he turned around, he also said congratulations.

When the wedding car arrived at the new house, there was a roar of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers.

No matter how loud the movement is, even the ears of the deaf old lady can feel it.

Everything was carried out according to the customs of Bottle Village.

"A bow to the high hall."

"Second worship to heaven and earth."

"Happy husband and wife."

In special times, there were not many performances. After praying to heaven and earth, they were sent to the bridal chamber.

In the new house, there are always children running around and watching the excitement.

Children's concept of marriage is to have sweets to eat. As for who gets married, it's the same.

The people outside began to prepare the banquet.

At Zhang Ziming's wedding, many people came to join in the fun.

Because there are still a group of people who are here for the entrance banquet.

It all came together.

The busiest ones are the women of Zhang Ziming's family. They are constantly serving more dishes on the flowing table. Without good physical strength, they will never be able to hold on.

The two brigade secretaries Zhang Zhonghe and Lin Zhengmao sat at the same table as a matter of course.

Zhang Zhonghe's happy village has a big celebrity named Zhang Ziming; Lin Zhengmao's happy village girl has found a good husband.

The two complimented each other for a while.

When the banquet officially opened, Zhang Ziming invited Zhang Zhonghe and Lin Zhengmao to say a few words.

Zhang Zhonghe’s speech was more focused on weddings;

As for Lin Zhengmao's speech, he tended to have more banquets for further study.

The two brigade secretaries were considered witnesses of the marriage.

The real climax is eating.

The table was full of meat and vegetables, which made the villagers who came to have a feast ravenous.

The wine is also enough, and the eyes of the drunkards are shining.

The groom is handsome and the bride is beautiful, both are not as charming as the fragrance of wine.

The banquet began, and while everyone was enthusiastic, Zhang Ziming also said two words impromptu:

"Dear elders, relatives and friends, today is the wedding day of Zhang Ziming and Lin Yuxin. It is also a celebration of my bride's admission to college, so..."

"Today, only those who come to have a feast are allowed to leave without eating until their stomachs are full, and they are not allowed to leave until they are drunk and drunk. There is enough food and wine..."

Zhang Ziming's speech pushed the banquet to another climax.

Generally speaking, when eating a banquet, people say "Eat well and drink well". In fact, in the era when there is a lack of food and drink, people are not full when eating a banquet. Everyone is really rushing to eat.

There are too few banquets like Zhang Ziming's.

Therefore, when Zhang Ziming finished speaking, congratulations came from all directions.

The noon banquet lasted until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

I need to prepare a few more tables in the evening to thank all the relatives who helped us celebrate.

The groom and the bride were hiding in the bridal chamber and talking quietly.

"Our schedule is quite full this time."

Wan Zitou understands that the clothing factory in Bottle Village and the clothing store in Jinchang are Zhang Ziming's independent ventures, and they will have to work on these after the wedding.

"Yes, the schedule is indeed full. Please help me during this time before school starts."

There is still half a month until the start of school, enough time for the clothing store to open.

Because the garment factory building has been built and the sewing machines are in place, we have been waiting for the start of production.

"Ziming, then this new house is a bit of a waste. Look, we both ran to Jinchang. Isn't this new house empty?"

Wan Zitou looked at the wedding room. How many days could he live here?

"Wanzitou, no matter where we are, this new house will be our destination and foothold. It will be our first home."

It doesn't matter if it's empty.

No matter where you are, you must have a home you can return to at any time.

"Well, this is our new house, wedding room, and new home. No matter where we go, this is our destination."

Wan Zitou hugged Zhang Ziming tightly, happiness leaping onto his cheeks.

"Wanzitou, there is one more important thing I want to tell you. Can you tell the two old people when you come back tomorrow?"

After hearing Zhang Ziming's proposal, Wan Zitou could no longer hold back the tears of happiness.

Without Zhang Ziming, these changes would not have happened.
