Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

You know what? If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell it’s been used before?”

"Aunt, we don't plan to buy new furniture, so it's fine as long as it's usable."

"That's right, you've already invited everyone you wanted to invite to your wedding the day after tomorrow.

It happens to be Sunday, and your uncles will come over that day. Comrade Zhang and I will cook, and we can all have a meal together."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you and aunt tomorrow. If Guili wasn't here, I would come and help you no matter what!"

"No, just wait to be the bride!

It's just a small job, why should you worry about it?"

"But, so many people?"

“No matter how many there are, can it be as many as when I was in the orphanage?

At that time, wasn't I the one who was preparing most of the things in advance?

Besides, aren’t there a lot of people here?

Your uncles will come over tomorrow after get off work, and they will help you, so you don't have to worry about this."

"All right!"

The wedding day soon arrived, but he did not move into Aunt Zhang's house in advance, but stayed in the dormitory.

In this way, the things to be taken away later, namely the bedding that has been used on the bed, and the rest can be packed up early and placed at Aunt Zhang's house.

I'm afraid they should all move to the west wing where they will live in the future.

At this time, the people who were with him in the dormitory, besides Comrade Qian and Comrade Li, were a few people he often came into contact with at the factory.

As for the others, they all came to see the bride and ask for some wedding candy.

When the auspicious time arrived, the groom, Comrade Guo Huaian, rode his bicycle to the bottom of the building where the female comrades' dormitory was located.

There aren't so many etiquettes in this era. After picking up the person, you ride back to your residence together with other people.

Although weddings at this time are not decorated so luxuriously, you can tell that someone in the family is getting married just by looking at the wedding character posted on the door.

Especially along the way, when children saw people getting married, they followed them all the way.

Seeing so many children, Aunt Zhang quickly gave each of them a piece of candy, one for celebration and the other for the fun.

Then the wedding was officially held, and after the wedding process was completed, wedding candies were distributed to everyone again.

After all the wedding candies were distributed, the children saw that there was no more candy left, so they wanted to make an appointment to leave together.

And those who haven't left at this time, aren't they waiting to attend the wedding?

After everyone has eaten and drunk well and seen off the big guys, it is impossible to lie down in bed and rest immediately.

Even though both of them were very tired, there was still a lot to do.

After tidying up the things in the house, the two of them sat there.

Let’s sort out together the things that others have given us. After all, these are favors and we have to return them in the future, okay?

By the way, in this era, apart from close relatives, few people will give gift money as a gift when getting married.

Basically everyone holds pairs of these things in their hands to give to the newlyweds.

Just a quick count, things like enamel basins, enamel tea trays, enamel tea mugs, soap boxes, thermoses, clam oil, handkerchiefs, quilt covers, bed sheets, pillowcases, mirrors, photo frames, quilt covers, etc. were all placed there in pairs.

You know what, there are so many things and I won’t be able to use them all right away. They won’t break down if I leave them there for a long time, so I’ll just use them slowly!

Fortunately, I bought some furniture, otherwise, there would be no place to put so many things.

Even though the landlord has equipped every room with furniture, after all, there are only a few things for two people, and even if there aren't many, it's just enough.

We have bought so many things for the wedding, don’t they have to be kept properly?

Regardless of the people living in the courtyard or the few families nearby, no one can guarantee that there are people with dirty hands.

After putting all the things in the cabinet, I saw Guo Huaian handing me a passbook and saying.

"This is my savings. I'll give it to you for safekeeping from now on!"

"Aren't you afraid that I might run away with the money?"

“Where are you running to?

The enemies hiding in the dark are like rats crossing the street. Do you think you have the same ability as them?"

"Well, I really don't have any!"

"Another thing is that nowadays, whether you live in the city or in the countryside, once you are suspected, it is not easy to escape."

“Yes, but how did you get this?

And why did you trust me so much and give it to me directly? "

“To be honest, the money here is the pension given to my parents by the organization, as well as the expenses after my retirement.

I'll give it to you directly. Isn't it because you are not my wife?

Besides, we are husband and wife now, so shouldn’t we trust each other?"

"Yeah, you know what, you actually have quite a bit of money in here?"

"That's right. Fortunately, I don't spend much money, otherwise I might not be able to save so much."

"But no matter what, it's great to be able to save money, but I don't save as much as you do?"

"I can see that you haven't saved much money from all the things you've bought for yourself since you started working?

But isn’t the purpose of buying things to be used?

What's more, these things won't go bad anytime soon, so we can just store them up for later?"

“It’s not as good as you say. In fact, most of the money was spent on food and drinks. You know my situation. I suffered a lot when I was young.

Now that I have grown up and can earn money on my own, I must compensate myself well. After all, health is the capital of revolution.

Without a healthy body, no matter how much money you save, you still have to live long enough to spend it. "

“You know what, what you said does make sense.

Since I was discharged from the army, although I lived and ate in the school cafeteria in the first few years, I have not really treated myself badly since I started working.

I was able to save enough money for my wedding because the area around here is really not as good as the city."

"is not that right?

But we will have to live on our own from now on, so we still have to plan carefully."

"Indeed, the combined salary and food coupons for the two of us are not small.

But if you want to have enough food, I'm afraid that food stamps alone may not be enough."

"It's really not enough, but fortunately the higher-ups still allow that in private?

Do you think we should?"

"Yes, of course we do, but it's not possible around here. Our area used to be full of old farmers who grew vegetables. If we want to buy some food privately, I'm afraid we have to go somewhere else?"

"Then let's go to the northern suburbs. I've lived there for nearly a year. That place produces food."
