Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you
Chapter 26 Newly Married, How Is This Possible?
After dinner, they chatted for a while because Hu Li had to go to work in the afternoon.
Li Bowen went straight back to his village. He had originally wanted to go for a walk, but when he thought about going with the fox tomorrow, he became too lazy.
There was nothing to do when they got home. All the things needed for the banquet had been prepared. The meat was agreed to be picked up from the butcher's shop the day before. The shopping in the village was all done by Third Aunt and three younger sisters. Li Bowen wanted to go fishing in the reservoir with Third Uncle, but the old man and the old lady firmly disagreed.
In the end, he had no choice but to find a bamboo pole, use a big needle as a fishhook, use a thin hemp rope as the line, and carry a bucket to the reservoir to go fishing.
It would be strange if someone who has never fished in his life could catch a fish with a broken bamboo pole.
Now I go fishing just to kill time. I sit on the steps by the reservoir, hang a small earthworm on the fishhook, throw it into the water, and sit there with a cigarette in my mouth, checking my own space in my mind.
Today's space has changed to some extent. In the area that was half covered by fog, the fog seems to have become thinner. I can vaguely see something inside, but I can't tell clearly what it is.
This made Li Bowen full of curiosity. He didn't know what was inside and whether it was good or bad.
The most critical issue is that you said this is a space upgrade, but you don’t know what the conditions for the upgrade are!
This makes people very uncomfortable. People are full of fear and curiosity about things that they cannot control. Li Bowen is in a particularly serious situation now because the situation in this position appears in his own consciousness space.
I kept waiting until dark without catching a single fish, so I returned home with an empty bucket.
The next morning, Hu Li came to see Li Bowen as promised.
First, I told him the result of the meeting with the members last night. Everyone was very happy to be able to exchange things for food. Every family’s private plot could produce something more or less, and there were also chickens and ducks raised at home. These days, the Chicken Butt Bank was not called that for nothing.
Basically every family was reluctant to eat eggs, and they all waited to save them up and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to earn some money.
Now Li Bowen comes to the village to buy directly at a price higher than the supply and marketing cooperative’s purchase price, so of course we have to sell it to him!
According to Hu Li's statistics, this first purchase can get about 2,000 eggs from the village, and a dozen or twenty chickens and ducks, but they are all males. The villagers are reluctant to sell the females, and keep them for laying eggs. Various vegetables can also weigh about 100 kilograms. Don't think about pork, beef, mutton, etc. for the time being. No one is willing to sell them at this time, and they are all waiting to keep them until the New Year.
It’s good to have these gains.
Afterwards, the two men rode their tricycles to Lao Zhu and Er Gouzi's village.
The four brothers got together again, and naturally it was very lively. Li Bowen agreed to everything without any hesitation. Although the two of them were not production team leaders in the village like Hu Li, they were from large families and had many heads of families in the village.
In fact, in every village there will be people from different units in the city who come to collect things. It depends on the buyer's own ability. Those who have connections can receive more, while those who don't have connections will just make a wasted trip.
Now that Li Bowen has these brothers acting as liaisons, there is naturally no problem for him to collect things. No one can say anything, and they all know each other well, so the villagers naturally prefer to sell things to acquaintances.
During this era, although large collectives were implemented in rural areas, the country still encouraged peasant families to raise poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs, and also allowed breeders to buy and sell them. However, there were regulations on the number of chickens. For example, each family could not raise more than 5 chickens, and any more could only be raised by the village collective. If an individual raised more chickens, it would be considered a capitalist tail.
If a farmer raises two pigs, then after selling one pig to the collective, he can slaughter the other one himself. In this way, the interests of the country, the collective and the individual are all taken into account.
However, there are not many families who can afford to raise pigs now. In a village, only the village collective can raise a few pigs, in addition to providing meat for the members during the Spring Festival, the main purpose is to fulfill the mission.
"Cutting off the capitalist tail" means strictly investigating those who have no proper jobs or those who act as middlemen, buying from farmers at low prices and then reselling at high prices. Strictly speaking, Li Bowen now belongs to the category of being cut off, but he has a factory letter of introduction and space, so he doesn't have to worry.
When he returned home in the evening, Li Bowen counted the accounts.
There are four villages with a total of seven or eight hundred households, and almost every household has poultry such as chickens and ducks. It is possible to produce a thousand chicken and duck eggs a day. Of course, not everyone will sell them to him, so Li Bowen gave a discount and said three hundred eggs should be no problem, which means more than two thousand eggs in seven days.
It is enough to collect three to five chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc. every week. As for seasonal vegetables, there is no shortage of them now. Every household grows vegetables under the wall. If each family collects a little, you can still get several hundred kilograms.
Together with the fish caught from the reservoir, he could easily complete his monthly purchasing task. If he sold the rest, he and his brothers could share some of the money.
……
In the blink of an eye it is the wedding day.
In the early morning, before it was completely light, Li Bowen, who was still dazed, was woken up and prepared. After he was ready, he went to pick up the bride surrounded by people.
Because they were from the same village and the distance was too close, in order to wait for the right time, they deliberately made a big circle outside the village before arriving at Chen Qiao's house. After picking up Chen Qiao, they circled back from the other side. The rule of marriage is that you cannot take the same route twice.
I entered the door at the perfect time.
The ceremony after entering the house is not as complicated as before. The previous worship of heaven and earth has been changed to an oath to the elders, saying that the two will live a good life in the future, and then worship the parents and enter the bridal chamber.
After sending Chen Qiao into the bridal chamber, the banquet officially began.
In difficult times, although it was not very good, at least there was some meat on every table and everyone could have a full meal. It was a rare banquet. After eating and drinking, the people who had come to the table slowly dispersed.
After the sun went down, the old lady urged Li Bowen: "Grandson, go see your wife and try to give grandma a big fat great-grandson as soon as possible!"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Li Bowen was pushed into the room.
Hu Li and the others were still thinking about going to listen to Fang Gen, but the old lady stood outside the door with her walking stick and said, "No one is allowed to disturb my eldest grandson's bridal chamber."
In the bridal chamber, Li Bowen looked through the dim light at Chen Qiao, who was sitting on the kang in her bright red wedding gown, and immediately thought she was extremely beautiful.
He walked up to her gently and held Chen Qiao's hand: "Let's get married!"
"Well, I will be your wife from now on!"
"Then let's rest early and complete the task assigned by the old lady!" Li Bowen smiled and moved closer to Chen Qiao.
The beauty is shy and speechless, and everything is implied.
The next morning, Li Bowen exclaimed: "How come you are still a girl! How is this possible?"
