The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

After hearing what Huang Meihua said, the brigade cadres were all silent for a moment. No one could refute.

When Zhu Xiaomin found out, his jaw almost dropped.

The Qian family suddenly had nine widows, and she actually dared to come back like this.

Just thinking about her words, since her household registration is here, in this era when the population cannot move freely, she really has nowhere to go if she doesn't come back here.

This case caused a sensation throughout Hengyin County and was a long-lasting wake-up call for many people.

Qian Yuanfei and his gang were executed, and his family did not dare to collect the bodies, so they were swept away by the county and thrown into mass graves outside the city.

When the document was delivered to the headquarters of the first brigade, it was already the 20th. Gu Mancang smoked a cigarette and was silent for a long time. He still held a member meeting in accordance with the regulations to convey the spirit and remind everyone.

Killing two birds with one stone and getting rid of two big troubles, the educated youths all felt relaxed and devoted themselves to preparing for the wedding of Lu Mingzheng and Zhu Xiaomin.

After winter came, the stove was lit in the house. The big stove had been stopped and the cooking was moved indoors. At this time, the fire was fully turned on, and the alluring fragrance wafted out of the whole yard again.

When Chen Xudong delivered the eggs, Lu Mingzheng and Zhu Xiaomin followed him back to the county town. One wore a freshly made red corduroy jacket, the other wore a newly knitted sweater, and took a wedding photo.

When I came back, I bought a stack of red paper and colored crepe paper from the county. I took the meat coupons I received and bought a dozen pig trotters and cut ten pounds of pork. I contacted Yan Yimin to find coupons and bought some firecrackers. return.

In addition to Chinese New Year couplets, the red paper was used to cut out the 囍 characters and window grilles for their wedding. Zhang Qiaomei and Miao Shiwen also cut colored crepe paper into latte art, waiting to decorate their new house.

In the midst of all the joy, a letter from home made Zhu Xiaomin feel depressed for a moment.

Seeing her in a daze, Lu Mingzheng took a bench and sat next to her, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked up at him, sighed lowly, shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just...my family said they can't come to our wedding."

Lu Mingzheng felt a little relieved, put his arms around her, and whispered, "Your home is further away. It's really inconvenient for them to have to take another train in the middle of their visit. Don't worry about it."

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaomin nodded, took a breath, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "Lu Mingzheng, we must be good in this life."

In her previous life, she and Lu Mingzheng got married under such circumstances, and there was no wedding. It took several months before she told her family in a brief letter. It was then that her family learned of their crimes and broke up with her. Contacted.

In this life, she was waiting for this wedding with full expectations, thinking that her family could not come, but she thought that at least it would give her a blessing and tell her some things.

However, there was nothing in the letter. Between the lines, it just expressed "read". It didn't even ask about Lu Mingzheng's situation.

She didn't understand why. In the past few years, although letters from home were infrequent, there was always one every other month, and money and food stamps were also sent to her.

But in the past two years, it has become less and less, so little that she will not send her money unless she asks specifically.

"Of course!" Lu Mingzheng's answer was far more firm than hers. He held her hand tightly, lowered his head, gently rubbed his lips against her forehead, and said softly, "Xiaomin, we will definitely be very happy."

He seemed to have seen it when he saw people in the yard rushing in and out for them.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, snuggled up to him quietly, and stopped thinking about it.

On February 2, the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the wedding of two people came as scheduled.

Since last night, the mutton soup in three large pots in the yard has been simmering over low heat. In the morning, it was boiling just right. All the educated youth ordered their own people. Everyone was busy frying oil cakes and serving mutton soup. First, I had a full meal, and then I hurriedly made the final arrangements.

Soon, the entire courtyard was decorated. The original dining table in the courtyard was transformed into a ceremony stage, and huge photos of great men were hung among the big red flowers in the back.

The school made a place for entertaining guests and hosting banquets. Wooden boards were put up on every two tables, turning them into one large table. Before the meal, several plates of melon seeds, peanuts and candies were placed. Inside and outside, there was a lot of talking and laughter.

The children were staring at the snacks on the table, but the adults were most interested in the new house. So when they saw the room with the big red 囍 on the inner courtyard, they all came over to take a look.

The house in the inner courtyard was originally newly built, with bright red grilles on the new doors and windows.

In the house, newspapers were newly pasted on the three walls of the kang, and a circle of paper-cuts with various auspicious patterns were also pasted on the newspapers. In the middle of a large piece of paper-cut on the front wall, there was an enlarged wedding photo of the two of them hanging. The man was handsome. , the women are beautiful, all showing a slight smile.

The lightbulb in the middle of the roof is covered with a bright red hydrangea. Drawstring flowers cut from crepe paper are stretched from the hydrangea to the four corners, and thin sash hangs from it, making the whole room look cheerful.

When making cotton-padded clothes before, most male educated youths chose blue or black. Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen chose red, and Zhang Qiaomei and Wang Xiaoya chose floral cloth. Most of the red and floral cloths were left.

When the two got married, the cotton was new, and the quilt was made of red cloth as the lining and floral cloth as the top. The mattress was made of coarse cloth as the bottom and gray cloth as the top. It had already been sewn and neatly stacked there, with some A big red 囍 character cut out of red paper.

The whole new house is designed to be festive.

These days, when people in the village get married, it is very rare to be able to make a new dress for the bride, and the bedding can only be used as neatly as possible. All new ones are rare.

In addition, looking around, the washbasin, thermos, and teapot in the room are all new, and there is actually a complete set of tea sets on the table. The aunts and ladies all praised it, saying they were envious, but shaking their heads in their hearts.

City people don’t know how to live.

When the auspicious time arrived, amidst the loud sound of firecrackers, Zhu Xiaomin wore newly made clothes, new cotton shoes, a red velvet flower on her head, and a red gauze scarf. She was carried out of the dormitory by Lu Mingzheng and went directly to the inner courtyard. .

Due to their special status, the educated youths lived alone away from the village, and they did not have close contact with the villagers. Everyone came just to watch the excitement and have a meal. The only people who blocked the door in the inner courtyard were a group of educated youths, noisily asking for sweets. .

Although Lu Mingzheng was agile, he couldn't rush through with his new wife in his arms and more than thirty young people blocking the door. All we can do is bow and bow, sprinkle candy and put on a show.

Zhu Xiaomin put one arm on Lu Mingzheng's back and the other around his neck. Her face was hidden under the red gauze scarf, and her whole body was shaking with laughter.

Among the educated youth, Lu Mingzheng was the earliest and the oldest. He has always been a big brother. In the last life, because their lives were too heavy, Lu Mingzheng also behaved very calmly and rigidly.

But in this life, everyone's respect for him was mixed with intimacy. At this time, he was a bit insignificant, and it was difficult for him to show a young look and laugh along with others.

In two lifetimes, I have never seen such a lively and out-of-the-box Lu Mingzheng.

God knows, she felt like she was not getting married, but watching her own wedding. In fact, she was just attending Lu Mingzheng's wedding.
