Back to 90s

2012 is a year that is rumored to be the end of the world, so it is naturally endowed with special significance.

It has been five years since they officially came out in 07, but Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui's life has gotten better and better.

The assets of the two have multiplied several times with the rapid development of the Internet in the past few years. If they hadn't been very low-key, maybe they could also squeeze into the rich list and become people who are eagerly reported by some media.

And on the 22nd of the first lunar month of this year, Zhu Qiuyue was getting married.

Zhu Qiuyue graduated from university two years ago. After graduation, she joined Zhu Yunxuan's company as a warehouse manager—this is a job she chose. In fact, although the salary is not high, this job is absolutely easy and easy. It is to register when others come to pick up things.

After she graduated from university, she became an older unmarried girl according to Zhu Chenggong and his wife, so she quickly got engaged to Zhao Xiaoqiang after her parents discussed it.

In the countryside near Wende Town, whether it is an engagement or a marriage, there are a lot of troublesome things. Zhu Qiuyue is recruiting a spouse, and the Zhu family is equivalent to representing the man. It is okay when you are engaged, that is, you have to use glutinous rice flour to make dumplings in advance. Make rice cakes or something, and then send the dowry money, clothes money, banquet money, etc., plus pork and fish, to Zhao Xiaoqiang's house on the day of the engagement. Of course, a banquet will be held to entertain the guests on this day.

When Zhu Qiuyue got engaged, Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui went to help, and Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai were busier than Zhu Chenggong and his wife—in the countryside, neighbors and relatives were doing red things. When it comes to funerals, they are obliged to help.If someone doesn't help when someone else's house is doing things, then if no one comes when their own house is doing things... I guess this banquet will not be able to continue.

But when they got engaged, they only helped for two days. This time when Zhu Qiuyue got married, Zhu Yunxuan had to help for at least four days.

Zhu Qiuyue went to a blind man to find her wedding date, and it was set for two days in 2122, and then No. 20 made a new bed on the 23rd to entertain the "new guests", and she had to be busy for at least four days.

Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui went back together, and arrived at Zhu's house on the morning of NO. I don't understand the things together, but after a long time, seeing that they are living well, she regards Li Rui as her own son, and even, for Li Rui, who is very diligent when he comes home, on the face She is more enthusiastic than Zhu Yunxuan.

"Mom." Of course Li Rui knew that it's okay to be lazy to death in his own home, but he definitely needs to behave well in front of Jiang Yuexiu, so he called "Dad" and "Mom" very enthusiastically, and served the tea. Sweeping the floor and cleaning the table is even more diligent.

"You guys are back! How is it? Xiao Rui, you are going to drive the wedding car for the bride, do you know about this?" Jiang Yuexiu asked.

When people here get married, they must find a car with sufficient weight and price as their wedding car. It just so happens that Li Rui owns an imported Porsche, and this time it was designated as a wedding car.

"Mom, I already knew that this time, Yunxuan and I will help drive." Li Rui said immediately, Zhu Qiuyue had already greeted him about this matter, and because of this, he and Zhu Yunxuan One drove a car back.

"That's good. If you drive a wedding car with a big red envelope, you can still be happy." Jiang Yuexiu said with a smile, and then greeted Li Rui to drink tea and eat.

But at this time, everyone was busy, Li Rui couldn't sit still, so he quickly found an excuse to go to Zhu Chenggong's house next door to see if there was anything to do.

"Yunxuan, you lived together, didn't you quarrel?" Jiang Yuexiu asked, Zhu Chengcai was still running the factory, and she was going to stay and take care of her husband, so even if she went to live with Zhu Yunxuan for two days, it wouldn't be long. Xuan and Li Rui occasionally come back on weekends, and they only eat two meals and stay for one night. She is always worried.

"Mom, we don't quarrel."

"It's fine not to quarrel. It's fine to live a normal life and give way to each other. I'm afraid that you will get angry with him if you are used to being the young master at home." Jiang Yuexiu said with some worry, she saw Li Rui every time Zhu Yunxuan was so busy, but he rarely worked...

"Where am I used to being a young master? Mom, don't be fooled by him. He is very lazy at home. He never does housework and counts on part-time work!" Zhu Yunxuan immediately said, but in fact Li Rui is not lazy. , the two of them have now bought a small villa in Hangzhou. If they really want to clean up by themselves... Maybe they can buy a few more villas after adding up the time spent doing hygiene before and after and spending it on work!

"That can't be done! Yun Xuan, don't be too weak. I think Li Rui is very good at pleasing people, so don't let him bully you!" Jiang Yuexiu immediately became worried.

"Mom, looking at your attitude, I thought you liked Li Rui and didn't like me anymore, so you still miss me!" Zhu Yunxuan immediately opened his mouth and gave Jiang Yuexiu an exaggerated hug. Now Jiang Yuexiu treats Li Rui even more. It's getting better and better, cooking according to Li Rui's liking, a little dispute between them also helps Li Rui, he is almost drowned in vinegar!

Jiang Yuexiu glared at her son: "Silly boy! I treat him better, don't I just hope that he can treat you better? Why does the mother-in-law become happier when she sees her son-in-law? That's because if you treat your son-in-law better, your son-in-law will treat you better." My daughter is better, if something happens in the future, I won't do anything to my daughter because of my own face... The mother-in-law is different, the daughter-in-law is married to her own family, and if she has a child, she will not be afraid of her running away Yes, so..."

"Mom, what kind of nonsense is this!" Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help laughing, although there was some truth to it, but: "Why do you treat yourself as a mother-in-law? Didn't you see that Li Rui has always treated you like a mother-in-law to please you! "

"I'm not arguing about this. As long as you live a good life, I'll be at ease. Also, don't get too used to Li Rui!" Talk about: "Let me tell you, a man can't let him go too far, or he won't work when he's used to being an uncle. By the way, if he doesn't want to work, you can act like a baby. What's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable and then ordered him to work..."

Zhu Yunxuan quickly interrupted Jiang Yuexiu: "Mom, I'm a man too!"

"If you don't like to listen to me, I won't talk! I knew it, you all think I'm nagging!" Jiang Yuexiu suddenly turned her face.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxuan hurried up to coax his mother, Jiang Yuexiu has been a little moody lately, could it be menopause?

Of course Jiang Yuexiu would not be really angry with her son, and after a while, she took Zhu Yunxuan to make birthday peaches next door.

When getting married, birthday peaches and many things are distributed to relatives and friends. Right now, everyone is making birthday peaches at Zhu Qiuyue's house.

The so-called longevity peaches are made of glutinous rice flour. First, add water to the glutinous rice flour and knead it into a ball, then steam it on a steaming rack. When the mochi comes, someone will put a little red on the tip of the peach.

There are two kinds of birthday peaches, white and green. After cooling, two pairs stick together to make a pair. The green birthday peaches are dyed with pumpkin leaves. Knead the pumpkin leaves stored in the lime jar in advance and put them into glutinous rice. Knead the flour into a ball with your hands, and you can slowly turn all the glutinous rice balls into green.

Right now, Li Rui is struggling to knead a glutinous rice dumpling.Seeing Zhu Yunxuan and Jiang Yuexiu approaching, Feng Xian's natal family immediately asked, "Axiu, who is this young man? He looks so handsome!"

"This is my godson." Jiang Yuexiu said proudly.

"No wonder, I just said how he called your mother." The man suddenly realized.

It happened that Feng Xian came out at this time: "Li Rui often lived in Chengcai's house when he was five or six years old. Everyone knows him, that is, you don't know if you don't come here often."

"Don't I know now? Is this kid married? Should he graduate?"

"Graduated. He graduated from Tsinghua University. He is the same age as Dongyue in my family. People who go to school now get married late." Feng Xian said very proudly. Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui are two people, and she is very happy to bring them To show off, of course, her family Qiuyue is also very good, not to mention that she went to college, but she can also find a boyfriend who has gone to college to marry into their family, how amazing is it?

In the afternoon, all the dry goods for the banquet were bought, and Zhu Chenggong also found a pig butcher to kill a happy pig for his family.When he first started selling meat, he slaughtered pigs himself and helped others to kill Xizhu. Some people were stingy and only gave him a red envelope of ten yuan, but it is different now. Now he has opened a slaughterhouse by himself. He also set up a breeding farm, so he no longer has to do such tiring and dirty work, and this pig was chosen by him himself!

After the butcher slaughtered the pigs, Zhu Chenggong gave him a red envelope of one hundred and eighty yuan. At this time, the red envelopes usually given to the butcher were only sixty, but they were originally slaughtering pigs in his slaughterhouse. Not stingy.

In addition to killing pigs, the other thing is to decorate the house. Zhu Yunxuan brought two big strings of red lanterns hung from the roof, and then planted colorful flags around the house. Finally, someone brought an inflatable dragon and phoenix gate and put it on the grain drying yard. Outside, after being inflated, there is a sign on the two pillars hovering around the dragon and phoenix, with the names of the bride and groom and blessings written on it.

In the house, many people were blowing up balloons. All kinds of balloons were stuck to the door frame, the wall, and wrapped around the stairs. Although it was tacky, it had a special atmosphere.Of course, happy characters are also to be pasted on all the upper and lower doors and windows, and couplets are hung on the gates.

There were quite a lot of things, but compared to the next two days, it was much better, so this night, Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui could sneak back to their room early, and then "fool around".

On the second day, neighbors and close relatives came early, and after breakfast at Zhu's house, they were busy killing fish and washing vegetables and chopsticks for lunch, while Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui, but helped to load the big wooden plates one by one.

The reason why it takes two days to get married here is because this afternoon, it is necessary to apply for an appointment and give a gift money.

Here in Wende Town, marrying a daughter-in-law is the most expensive thing. When you get engaged, you have to give money to the banquet, and you have to give it again when you get married. As everyone gets richer, the two gifts will increase. Get up, no matter what, it will cost 20.

Plus the decoration of the room, the gold jewelry for the bride, the wedding photos and the money for the banquet at home... That is definitely a huge sum, and most people have to spend a lifetime to save it!

But if you can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter. In the future, if you have two children, one with the woman's surname, then the man will not have to give a penny of gift money, and all the banquets will be held separately.And I don't know whether it's because of the lenient rural policy or the customs here. One child has a household registration with the father's family and the other has a household registration with the mother's family. Even if the two parties are not only children, they can have two children.

It costs money to marry a daughter-in-law, and of course it also costs money to recruit a wife, but Zhu Chenggong is rich now, so he doesn't care about it. He even bought a 30 car for Zhao Xiaoqiang before he got married, and he treated Zhao Xiaoqiang better than his own daughter up.

Jiang Yuexiu said before that a mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law badly. Such things are rare in Wende Town, unless the two parties agree that they will not marry or have children. Daughter-in-law, who would show embarrassment?Even if the young couple had conflicts, they would definitely twist their son's ears to make him apologize.

When I went to give gifts, Zhu Qiuyue also went. She was looking for a wife, so tonight I will live in Zhao Xiaoqiang's house, and I will wear new clothes there to worship God, and then I will wait for Zhao Xiaoqiang to come to Zhao Xiaoqiang the next day. home to marry her.

"This marriage is really troublesome!" Zhu Qiuyue sat in the car with light makeup on, complaining to Zhu Yunxuan beside her.

"It's really troublesome." Zhu Yunxuan nodded in agreement. There were so many things in the first day... Tomorrow, I still don't know how Zhu Qiuyue will be troubled!

"You and Li Rui will be fine, there is no need to go through such a hassle to get married." Zhu Qiuyue sighed. Others don't know about Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan, but she already knows about it. For this, she just expressed her blessing .

"I don't think there is any way to toss around!" Zhu Yunxuan imagined the picture of himself marrying Li Rui and Li Rui wearing a wedding dress... Well, it's better for both of them to wear suits.

"You can go abroad to hold a wedding, can't you? You can also argue."

"You think so simply... the people of the Zheng family have said that they must never change their nationality." Zhu Yunxuan immediately said, now that the Zheng family is in full swing, especially Zheng Tianqi...

"Then there is no other way. By the way, don't forget to pick up my classmates tomorrow morning." Zhu Qiuyue said, she invited some of her classmates to be bridesmaids.

After sending gift money to the Zhao family, Zhu Qiuyue was also sent there. Li Rui, Zhu Yunxuan, and Zhu Qiuyue's uncle and matchmaker in another car came back with Zhao Xiaoqiang.

At night, Zhu Yunjin accompanied Zhao Xiaoqiang to sleep in the new house. The new bed made the day before was regarded as a pressure bed. Originally, Zhu Chenggong and his wife wanted Zhu Yunxuan to sleep with him. After all, Zhu Yunxuan was very promising, but when this proposal came out, She was rejected by Jiang Yuexiu, saying that it would be better if the person pressing the bed should be younger, so she pushed Zhu Yunjin out.

When the matter was resolved, Jiang Yuexiu patted the shoulder of Li Rui, whose face had turned dark but turned better, as a sign of comfort.

At the same time, Li Rui grabbed Zhu Yunxuan after the incident, and asked tangledly, "Have you ever pressed someone else's bed?"

"No! This bed press is for close relatives, and a big red envelope is also given. I have never been on a wheel before!"

"It's okay." Li Rui nodded repeatedly. Why is it so troublesome to get married in the countryside?It will take two consecutive days for the banquet to be held at noon and in the evening, and there are so many people coming every time, it is obviously extravagant and wasteful...

Zhu Yunxuan's previous guess was very correct. After being so busy today, the next day will definitely be even busier.

Because it is logical that everyone has to have lunch after marrying the bride, so Zhu Qiuyue has to get up at six o'clock in the morning to make up, and Zhu Yunxuan also has to get up at such an early time, first send Zhu Qiuyue to the bridal shop, and then Go pick up Zhu Qiuyue's classmate.

Zhu Qiuyue invited four classmates this time, and they all got up early to come to the urban area here, but because they didn't recognize Zhu Qiuyue's home, Zhu Yunxuan was also asked to pick them up.

Along the way, the four female classmates chatted with Zhu Yunxuan naturally. From their point of view, Zhu Qiuyue's luck was really good. Her boyfriend Zhao Xiaoqiang graduated two years earlier than her, but he was already able to buy in Hangzhou. The house is gone, and it will be better in the future, but they can't understand that Zhu Qiuyue will hold a wedding in her hometown.

"In the countryside where we live, as long as you haven't hosted a banquet in your hometown and invited relatives to share things, then even if you got a certificate and gave birth outside, in the eyes of your relatives, you are not considered married." Zhu Yunxuan said .

"That's it!" Someone chirped and asked about the details of the wedding. Unfortunately, Zhu Yunxuan didn't know much about it.

On this day, Zhao Xiaoqiang would set off from Zhu's house, and then go to his own home to meet Zhu Qiuyue, so after Zhu Qiuyue put on her makeup, she went to Zhao Xiaoqiang's house with her classmates.

Those classmates knew that Zhu Qiuyue's family was good, but this was the first time they knew that Zhu Qiuyue still wanted to recruit a wife. They couldn't understand why Zhao Xiaoqiang graduated from a famous university and had a good job, so why would he be willing to marry into someone else's family?

"It should be a matter of customs." Zhu Qiuyue said, in fact, she could tell that Zhao Xiaoqiang's stepmother didn't care much about Zhao Xiaoqiang's marriage, and Zhao Xiaoqiang's father didn't have any money in his hands. If Zhao Xiaoqiang wanted to marry If it is his wife, I am afraid they will not be able to get a penny.Of course, Zhao Xiaoqiang can also get married in Hangzhou by himself and find a wife who is willing to fight with him, but he also has a younger brother. When he just graduated, he had to support his younger brother to study, and now he has to worry about his younger brother's house... let's just say they The house in Hangzhou was "loaned" to them by Zhu Yunxuan, and the loan was deducted from their salary every month.

And to be honest, there are a lot of cases where they get married. If a family has one child, there are some girls who refuse to have a second child after giving birth to a child with their own surname!

"That's right." Some people nodded in agreement. They also saw the ups and downs. To be honest, it was really a waste, and many of them were purely for the sake of face.

Zhao Xiaoqiang came over to get married after nine o'clock.

As for Zhao's house, the door was closed tightly, waiting for him to stuff enough red envelopes before opening the door, there would be a child's basket next to it, and he had to put coins in pairs into it.

Zhao Xiaoqiang's father and stepmother brought Zhu Qiuyue the same jewelry, and then Zhao Xiaoqiang's younger brother carried Zhu Qiuyue into the car. After returning to Zhu's house, they worshiped at the church, worshiped the ancestors, washed their faces... and laundered money.

There were eight wedding cars, an off-road vehicle for the photographer and a truck loaded with dowry. Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan had to help drive the wedding car.

In the afternoon, the bride and groom went to a nearby park for a video shoot.In the evening, the two of them had to go back and forth to eat at the banquets of the two families, and then toast all the guests.

Zhu Yunjin followed behind Zhao Xiaoqiang, helping him with the cigarettes to be distributed, while Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui carried bags of things that had been packed long ago and distributed them to each customer.

In that package, there is a pack of cigarettes, two packs of wedding candies, a pack of peanuts, a pack of red dates, red eggs and other things, usually made into ten or eight items.

In the end, of course, it was the bridal chamber.

After Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui had been busy all day, they no longer cared about making trouble in the bridal chamber. After Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai helped collect the dishes, wash the dishes, and tidy up the rented tables and chairs, they also went back to their rooms early to rest.

"Every time I attend a wedding, I can get back countless candies and cigarettes... No one in my family likes to eat it." Zhu Chengcai has quit smoking, and Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunjin don't smoke, but at the wedding, they help move the dowry to the Cigarettes, cigarettes for helping to drive, cigarettes for helping to serve food, and cigarettes for weddings... Now these cigarettes, they probably can only give them away.

"It's good to be happy, Yunxuan, do you want to have a wedding too?" Li Rui asked, although he had to admit that holding a wedding in the countryside is too troublesome, but he still wants to have a grand wedding with Zhu Yunxuan wedding.

"Think about it," Zhu Yunxuan nodded, and then pushed Li Rui down, "Do you have any ideas? You seemed to be sneaking around to see the ring a while ago, didn't you?"

"How do you know I went to see the ring? I just want to surprise you!"

"I knew that day... Also, I'm not interested in surprises, my dear, it's better for you to be honest and lenient." Zhu Yunxuan stuck out his tongue and gently licked Li Rui's neck.

"Well, didn't I say before that when we are strong, I want to release the news of our marriage on all the websites where we have invested?" Li Rui hesitated.

Zhu Yunxuan kissed the other party: "You are crazy!" But he liked it very much.

"Honey," Li Rui said with a bitter face, "I just want to sleep today..."

"What do you think I want to do?" Zhu Yunxuan quickly climbed off the other party, and then rolled up the quilt and lay down on the bed: "Let's go to bed soon! I'm exhausted, I can guarantee that Zhao Xiaoqiang doesn't have the strength today A spring night is worth a thousand gold!"
