Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Sheng family held a banquet at the Songlin Hotel to entertain relatives and friends.

Originally, I said that I would not make any big fuss and just notify polite relatives and friends to come and join in the fun. However, a lot of people came that day.

Not only people with good relationships and contacts such as Qianchuan Forest Farm and Forestry Bureau, but also the secretary and factory director of Donggang No. 1 ginseng farm, the mayor and secretary of Songjianghe Town, the leaders of each forest farm, and the county magistrate Chang. , County Magistrate Jiang and others are here.

Sheng Xiping saw it and quickly told the hotel people to add a few more tables.

Generally, for weddings and weddings, extra tables are prepared for fear of overcrowding.

For a hotel as big as the Pine Forest Hotel, this matter would naturally not be a problem for them.

Relatives and friends gathered together, and there were good wine and delicious food. Although it was not as grand and festive as a wedding, it was still quite lively.

Everyone was eating, drinking, laughing and chatting, and Sheng Xiping took the opportunity to talk about business matters with some partners.

The meal was not over until almost two o'clock.

After the banquet, those who have a long way to go will stay in Songjianghe for one night. The Sheng family has room, and if not, they can stay in a hotel.

Those who were close to each other exchanged a few words and chatted for a while, and then they all went home.

The wedding is on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, so those from the Sheng family have to go there in advance and discuss the details of the wedding with the Jiang family.

So on the morning of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the four families of Sheng Xiping, Sheng Xian, Sheng Xikang, and Sheng Yunfei, plus Chen Ruiqing's family of four, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife, and Sheng Xita took the train to Shencheng with the dowry sent by the Sheng family.

There are also certain things to pay attention to when sending a bride. If you want to send a bride to a couple, there must be an elder among the people sending the bride. However, parents cannot send the gift, and aunts cannot send the gift.

Fortunately, Sheng Yunfei is the younger sister. If she were the older sister, she wouldn't be able to send her off.

Sheng Xiping had bought the tickets in advance. They were all sleeper berths, so it was convenient to sit on them.

I got on the bus at around 8 o'clock in the morning and didn't arrive in Shencheng until around 10 o'clock in the evening.

The adults were fine, but the children found it novel at first, but they couldn't stand it anymore.

Thanks to Zhang Shuzhen's thorough preparation, she bought a lot of food in advance. In addition to roasted chicken, pork head meat, and tea eggs, there were also large pancakes and dried tofu.

The most important thing is that Zhang Shuzhen also brought a bunch of onions, meat sauce, egg sauce, etc.

Good guy, after taking out so many things, unpacking them and placing them on the small table, the fragrance wafted out.

Especially the pancakes rolled with green onions and dried tofu rolled with green onions, their destructive power on the train is really amazing.

When people passing by looked at it, their eyes widened. This is not going out. It is obviously a picnic, okay?

I just walked and ate all the way, and by the time I got to the station, I had almost finished all the things I brought with me.

Pick up the trash, load it all up, clean it up and get off the car.

The Jiang family had already arranged for people to wait at the station. Jiang Guozhong borrowed a commuter bus from the factory to pick up workers and personally brought people to pick him up at the station.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you all, hurry up, get in the car.

The accommodation has been arranged in advance. Let's go have a meal first and then go back to the hotel to rest. "

As soon as he saw his son and everyone in the Sheng family leaving the station, Jiang Guozhong hurried forward to greet Sheng Xiping and others.

Some of the people who came here were people they had met before, some they had never seen before, and Sheng Xiping couldn't help but introduce them.

Jiang Guozhong shook hands with Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Ruiqing respectively to express his welcome. "Let's go then, let's go to the restaurant, sit down and talk slowly."

"Oh, brother Jiang, you are too polite. We actually ate a lot in the car, and we are not too hungry now.

Otherwise, let’s not go to the restaurant, right? Still wasting that money. "Zhou Mingyuan held Jiang Guozhong's hand and said politely.

"No, no, the hotel has been booked, the dishes have been cooked, and there are still people waiting on the other side.

Besides, when distinguished guests arrive, they must have a meal to wash away the dust after landing. This is the rule. "

Jiang Guozhong was happy when he heard this. He took Zhou Mingyuan's hand and asked him to get into the car. Then he asked everyone else to get in the car, said something to the driver, and drove straight to the hotel he had booked in advance.

At the hotel, relatives of the Jiang family were waiting. When the two parties met, they exchanged polite greetings.

Afterwards, the food was served and everyone chatted while eating.

Sheng Xiping and the others got off the bus quite late. When they got to the restaurant, they only had a quick bite and didn't drink.

I was quite tired after riding in the car all day, so I almost went back to the hotel to rest.

I slept until about eight o'clock in the morning the next day, then got up to deal with it casually and tidy up.

Then Zhou Qinglan and others accompanied Sheng Yunfang to make an appointment to have her makeup done.

Wedding photos were not popular these days, and there were no wedding photo studios. Most of them were hair salons that provided brides with updo makeup.

Sheng Yunfang and the others did not go far, so they found a place near the hotel where they were staying.

I asked the barber to try putting my hair up, and it felt almost the same, so I settled on it.

The women were busy preparing the bride for the wedding, while the men went to the station to pick her up.

Zhang Shouzhi was in Fushun, close to Shencheng, so he came by bus.

Sheng Lianjie and Sheng Lianqiu came by train. They had called in advance to set the time and picked them up at the station on time.

In the evening, the Jiang family arranged a banquet and invited Da Zhangluo. The two parties met to discuss the details of the wedding.

For example, at what time to pick up the bride, which route to take, what time the ceremony will be, etc., both parties must discuss it in advance to avoid unexpected situations.

Before five o'clock in the morning on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Qinglan and others got up and accompanied Sheng Yunfang to the hair salon to do her hair and put on makeup.

I came back from putting on makeup at almost seven o'clock, just in time to have breakfast.

According to the custom in Northeast China, on the day when the daughter goes out, her family usually cooks dumplings.

No matter how much or how little you eat when sending your bride, you must be considerate. There is no reason to send your bride on an empty stomach.

The Sheng family lived in a hotel and couldn't make or cook dumplings, so they ordered dumplings from the restaurant in advance.

Just after dinner here, the Jiang family's wedding team also arrived.

Sheng Xitai led Chen Feng, Sheng Xinhua, and Sheng Xinyu to stop the bride-to-be in front of the hotel, shouting for red envelopes, and would not let them in if they did not give them.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanbin was prepared in advance and hurriedly handed over the red envelope and got in smoothly.

The person who picked up the bride went upstairs to the room where the bride lived. Chen Yue, Sheng Xinyue, and Sheng Xinqi blocked the door.

The person who followed to welcome the bride gave him a red envelope without saying a word. Chen Yue, who was young and thin-skinned, could not stop her anymore and quickly got out of the way.

While everyone was laughing, Jiang Yanbin entered the room, holding a red plastic flower in his arms, kneeling on the ground on one knee, and shouted loudly, "Daughter-in-law, I'm here to pick you up, come with me."

Sheng Yunfang took the flowers with a smile, stretched out her hand and pulled Jiang Yanbin to stand up. Then Jiang Yanbin changed into the suit prepared by his parents' family, and the bride and groom tied red belts on each other.

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinyue stepped forward and pinned the red flowers on the bride and groom's chests.

Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin are in a free love relationship, and the Sheng family is not the kind of picky person, so naturally they will not make any mistakes at the wedding.

Therefore, the wedding reception went very smoothly. With everyone's blessings, Jiang Yanbin successfully received the bride.
