The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 183, getting married

Just when the three of them were hiding aside, chatting and joking, Zhao's mother came looking for them in a hurry.

"Weiguo, Xiaocan, hurry up, hurry up, it's almost time. Hurry up and pick up your wife with the soldiers. Don't miss the auspicious time."

"Okay, I have the order!"

The three brothers didn't dare to delay and got up quickly.

We arrived at the gate of the yard together. At this time, Zhao Guobing was ready to go. There was a big red flower hanging on the front of the brand new 28-wheel drive, and his whole face was full of smiles.

Accompanying him were a group of boys from the Grain Institute riding bicycles. They were all dressed up and their cars were clean. Ding Guandong, who had captured Cui Zhi together before, was also there to welcome the bride.

After the three brothers Li Weiguo came out, the wedding team was almost ready. Including Li Weiguo and Zhou Can, there were a total of eight bicycles with big red flowers hung on the fronts.

Seeing Li Weiguo and others coming out, Zhao Guobing quickly wiped his sweat and urged: "Brothers, hurry up, let's go quickly, don't let my wife wait in a hurry."

"Why are you so anxious? Yours can still escape."

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him, pushed out the bicycle, straddled the bike with his long legs, and then joked: "I said Guobing, your body is so weak, do you want me to prepare some Shiquan Dabu Pills for you?" ?”

Zhao Guobing was immediately asked about his itch, but it was so easy to talk about it in public.

His face straightened and he said seriously: "Why am I weak? I am in good health." He patted his chest as he spoke to prove that he was strong.

Then, he changed the topic again: "However, since it is Wei Guoqian's intention, it is a waste, so how much is it? Bring it to me and take a look."

"Hey. Guobing, can you do it? Do you want me to help you push your butt for a few nights?"

"That's right, National Soldier, if you have any difficulties, just ask. We have been friends for more than ten years, and several brothers have been designated to help you."

"Hahaha"

Zhou Can, Ding Guandong and others all cheered.

Zhao Guobing's face turned red and he smiled and cursed: "You don't need to do this, I'll do it myself."

While everyone was chatting and talking, Zhao's mother walked out of the courtyard. When she saw that a group of young men were still not moving, she suddenly stared, raised her hand and slapped Zhao Guobing on the back of the head.

"What time is it and you haven't set off yet?"

"Oh, Mom, today is a big day, can't you save some face for me?" Zhao Guobing rubbed the back of his head and complained to Zhao's mother resentfully.

Mother Zhao doesn't care what day you are on. She glares and raises her hand to hit you: "You are my son no matter what day! Hurry up. If you go late and delay the good time, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Hey, don't leave right now."

Seeing that the Queen Mother of the Zhao family was showing off her power, Zhao Guobing did not dare to delay. He shrank his head, quickly stepped on the pedal, and jumped out.

Li Weiguo and others followed behind.

Along the way, Zhao Guobing and a group of young men rode bicycles with big red flowers on them and swaggered through the city. I don’t know how many eyeballs they attracted, and pedestrians stopped to watch.

After all, it is relatively rare these days to have eight bicycles for a bride-to-be. For most families, if the groom can borrow two or three bicycles, it is considered a good sign.

Zhao Guobing's group of eight vehicles and about ten people talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Yu'er Hutong of Fuxiang Neighborhood Committee.

Yuan Manxia's father is the first brother of the Jiaodaokou Street Office, and the family's house happens to be located in a separate courtyard near the Street Office.

As soon as Zhao Guobing and his party arrived at the door of the courtyard, several little kids guarding the door gathered around them and shouted, "The groom is here, please give us wedding candies!"

Zhao Guobing was also prepared. He parked the car and quickly took out a few fruit candies from his bag. Each of them got one piece, and he did not dare to give more. Candies are also a rare commodity these days, and he could not buy too many at one time.

Zhao Guobing prepared 3 kilograms of fruit candies in his bag, but he was not sure whether they would be enough, so before he came out, Zhao's mother told him to give one or two to each person, but don't use too much force to avoid them being gone before the process is completed. Then you can sit on the wax.

After dismissing the children who were blocking the door, a group of young men hurried into the hospital, with Zhao Guobing taking the lead, followed closely by Li Weiguo, Zhou Can and others.

Entering the courtyard, the Yuan family's private courtyard was full of people, and the small courtyard seemed very crowded.

The courtyard was full of neighbors, relatives and friends. When they saw the groom leading the way in, they all looked at Zhao Guobing curiously.

Marriage these days is relatively simple and simple, without as many procedures and customs as in later generations.

When you come, say hello to your neighbors, relatives and friends, say hello to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, call your parents, and then you can pick up your daughter-in-law and leave.

There was no blocking the door, no asking for red envelopes, and no vulgar ways to make things difficult for others.

When Zhao Guobing and others walked into Yuan's yard, Yuan Manxia's family had already been waiting in the house. Yuan's father, Yuan's mother, and Yuan Manxia's eldest brother and sister-in-law got up early to make arrangements, waiting for Zhao Guobing to come to pick up the bride.

Today, Yuan Manxia has two braids on her head, a brand new white Shiliang shirt and blue overalls. She also wears a big red flower on her chest, and there is a big baggage next to her. This is her personal clothing. Something like that.

In the center of the main room, there were two baskets with the words "Haoxi" on them, which contained the dowry prepared by Yuan's parents and Yuan's mother for her.

There are two brand-new quilts, sheets, two red embroidered pillows, two kettles and other tea trays, combs, round mirrors, towels, enamel jars, toothbrushes and other daily necessities.

There are also two large items, a Shanghai brand radio and a Butterfly brand sewing machine.

Good guy, plus the bicycle and watch that Zhao Guobing bought himself before, he was able to make ends meet after three turns and one beep. After all, it was his father-in-law who was so powerful.

In addition, Yuan Ma also handed her a brand new military green satchel. It was unknown what was inside, but it was probably small items such as money, jewelry, etc.

Just by looking at these things, you can see how much Yuan's father and Yuan's mother care about their daughter.

These days, many families favor sons over daughters, and few families are willing to spend such money on marrying off their daughters.

It seems that Yuan's father and Yuan's mother were also worried that their daughter would be wronged when she got married, so they specially prepared a well-matched dowry for her to support their daughter's appearance.

When he walked into the hall and saw his longing-for daughter-in-law, Zhao Guobing was so excited that he straightened his clothes quickly, walked quickly and said loudly to Yuan's parents and Yuan's mother: "Mom, Dad, I'm here to pick up Manxia. "

Dad Yuan didn't speak, just smiled and nodded. He was quite satisfied with Zhao Guobing, his shabby son-in-law. He came from a good family background. Dad Zhao was the deputy director of the Grain Institute and was on the rise. Zhao Guobing was also a street cadre at a young age. A true young hero.

But no matter how good the pig is, he is still in a somewhat complicated mood when he is about to eat his own cabbage, so he doesn't know what to say at this moment, so he just smiles and says nothing.

Yuan Ma couldn't control her mood at the moment. She held her daughter's hand and handed her daughter over to Zhao Guobing. She kept pulling Zhao Guobing there to give instructions.

"National soldier, Manxia will be left to you from now on. I hope you can support each other until the end. If there is anything wrong with Manxia in the future, I hope you will not hit her. Just tell me and I will take care of her." Just bring it back to her." As she spoke, Yuan Ma couldn't help but start wiping away tears.

Although the two families are on the same street in Jiaodaokou and are not far apart, the married daughter throws water on her and how her daughter will live in the Zhao family in the future, the mother's family is not allowed to interfere at will.

Yuan Manxia saw her mother crying sadly and her eye circles were red. She reluctantly hugged Yuan's mother and sobbed: "Mom, don't worry, Guobing and I will live a good life. You and my dad should also take care of yourselves. I Dad is not in good health. Please keep an eye on him and don't let him smoke too much. You are also in poor health from time to time. Don't do too much heavy work. Let my brother and sister-in-law help you share more. Also, there are ."

As they talked, the two couldn't help but hugged each other and burst into tears.
