Chapter 301
On the day of the Little New Year, the Huo family's dowry finally arrived and delivered to Han Mingxiu's house.
The dowry was delivered by Huo Hongshan and Huo Jianfeng himself, including one hundred yuan, two pieces of fabric, a radio and a sewing machine.
These things were definitely considered generous gifts at that time. The sewing machine alone was worth 170 to 80 yuan, and the radio also cost 180 yuan. The two combined were nearly 300 yuan.
Plus one hundred yuan, two pieces of fabric, the generous dowry, the sum of these generous dowry costs more than four hundred yuan, which shows how the Huo family attaches importance to Han Mingxiu.
However, Han Mingxiu was still very clear. She knew that these brides were definitely not offered by Aunt Huo. If she gave them, she wouldn't even have one tenth. No need to ask. You can think of them with your heels. It must be the brides given by Huo Jianfeng himself. His uncle was just helping to run away.
When she thanked Mr. Huo with a smile, Mr. Huo's sloping eyes further proved her guess.
However, Han Mingxiu was not dissatisfied with this. Huo Jianfeng gave it, just what Huo Jianfeng gave it. Anyway, she didn't expect the Huo family to give her anything? She was not short of money, and she didn't want to lose the money that his grandmother and the old lady had. As long as she could live a peaceful and harmonious life in the future, it would be better than anything else.
After giving the bride gift, Mr. Huo and Huo Jianfeng quickly left, and the bride gift they sent quickly caused a sensation in the village.
It was a huge sensation, and its influence was no less than Han Mingxiu's original bicycle purchase!
Because Sun Aotun has no sewing machine so far, Han Mingxiu's sewing machine is the first in the village. The women in the village rushed over to see this sewing machine as if they were rare. Some of them were touching it here and there, and some even asked Han Mingxiu to show them how to operate the sewing machine.
Han Mingxiu did not refuse, and immediately sat in front of the sewing machine to perform. When she stepped on the sewing machine's pedal and smashed a insole on the sewing machine, the women were infuriated.
"Oh my god, this thing is really capable. With just one skill in Kabayan, you can smash a sockliner. It's so capable..."
"No wonder girls nowadays need sewing machines when looking for their in-laws. This thing is really easy. With this thing, it will be much easier to make clothes and sew them in the future."
"The things are good, but the money is not very detailed. I heard that this one costs about 200 yuan and requires industrial coupons that are both young and old. Who can afford it?"
"Didn't she buy Xiu'er's partner? Look at Xiu'er, now she has all the three turns and one sound...
The so-called three rotations and one sound refers to bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios. These things were collectively called four major items in this era.
If a girl is looking for a woman in the family, it would be a great thing if she could produce one or two of these four items. If she could produce all four items, then her girl would be valuable, and even the people in their parents' family would be naked.
Han Mingxiu had a bicycle, but later her aunt gave her another watch. Now Huo Jianfeng has sent her a sewing machine and a radio, and her four major items are complete, which has attracted so many envious eyes.
Not only do I envy her sewing machine, but also her bicycle, watch and radio.
Her radio attracted the interest of many young people and half-aged children in the village. They surrounded the wooden box like a group of fans, excitedly listening to the various sounds coming from the box, excited and curious.
"This person is really amazing now. If you look at this thing, you can make noises from such a small box. If you don't know, you have to think about the person hiding it inside?"
"Your box is so small that you can hide in someone? This is called science, do you understand..."
"Tsk, you know, who doesn't know that this is science? But don't I just don't understand what's going on? Where did they hide their voices? How come they can hide so many voices..."
"Stop clang clang, stop calming, storytelling has even started broadcasting, I just heard that you two are stubborn here..."
At this moment, the storytelling broadcast "Mu Guiying Takes the Commander" has started. Everyone was attracted by the stories on the radio, so they all stopped talking, sat quietly on the edge of the kang and sounded the storytelling broadcast, and it was as serious as a group of primary school students listening to the class.
This radio heat lasted until the 29th day of the 29th day of the Chinese New Year
On this day twenty-nine, Han Mingxiu's family prepared, to be precise, Wang Wenyuan and Zhang Shuzhen's family prepared.
On the 28th day, Han Mingxiu's uncle Wang Wenyuan borrowed the team's carriage and loaded the Han Mingxiu's fat pig weighing more than 300 kilograms and chickens, ducks and eggs for weddings in the carriage, and pulled them to Sijia Wazi Village. Everything there was ready, and I was waiting for the banquet to entertain guests today.
The villagers of Sun Laotun were actually a little dissatisfied with Han Mingxiu's wife's family preparing for a wedding banquet. However, when they thought of her fat pig weighing more than 300 pounds, the old chicken, duck, goose, meat, and eggs, they felt relieved.
It’s worthwhile to be able to open your stomach and eat a good meal. Even if you walk a little more, it’s worth it…
So at around nine o'clock, the villagers of Sunaotun put on their clothes to meet people when they went out, set off in pairs, and rush to Sijiawazitun with laughter.
Han Mingxiu had already gone to my uncle's house. Today she specially wore a red cotton jacket and blue pants made by her aunt. She also had a bright red headscarf around her neck and a red plastic hairpin on her head. She looked joyous and very beautiful.
Huo Jianfeng was wearing the Zhongshan outfit made by Han Mingxiu. He was tall and straight, and when he wore this outfit, he looked particularly strong and handsome.
The two stood together and greeted the guests who came to bless him with a smile. They looked like a beautiful couple, not to mention how good they matched them.
Zhang Shuzhen saw that her son and daughter-in-law were so compatible and happy, and she could not see enough, and she was so excited that she almost shed tears. But she was not lucky to cry on this happy day, so she lowered her head and pretended to be working, and glared her tears back, but her mouth was so happy that she couldn't even close her eyes.
Today's banquet was very sumptuous. The fat pig weighing 300 pounds was killed by Wang Wenyuan when he got up early. Now he had already cleaned up and put some of it in the pot.
There were eight dishes at the banquet, all of which were hard dishes - a dish of sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage; a dish of stewed with mushrooms with chickens; a dish of scrambled eggs with scallions; a dish of pork head; a dish of duck stewed with vermicelli; a dish of dried beans; a dish of pork stewed with five-spice quail eggs and a dish of quail potatoes.
Among them, the five-spice quail eggs and quail stewed potatoes are provided by Zhang Shuzhen.
Their family has been raising quails since last year, and now they have reached a certain scale. In more than a year, nearly a thousand quails have been bred and countless quail eggs have been laid.
However, although it is quite large, it is all the past. When we hold a wedding, the quails at home were basically slaughtered, and even the old quail eggs I saved were made into five-spice quail eggs for a banquet. If you want to eat quail or quail eggs, you have to hatch again.
But Zhang Shuzhen didn't feel sorry for her son, but instead felt happy that she could do something. As long as her son was good, she could do whatever she wanted.
The villagers were also very satisfied with this luxurious wedding banquet, and kept eating and complimenting. Some people said, "It is the first time I have eaten such a good chewy wrap after so many years."
The fact is indeed the case. No one in the village has ever had such a good banquet for weddings.
Because the wedding banquet was so sumptuous, some people who had no intention of taking gifts in Sijiawazi smelled the scent of the scent and rushed over to see it. Seeing the eight mouth-watering hard dishes on the table, I thought it would be better if I came here to take gifts. Not only could I have a good meal open, but I could also have a good favor.
So the villagers of Sijiawazitun also came to the door to congratulate him.
They came to the door to congratulate him kindly, and Zhang Shuzhen and his wife naturally welcomed him warmly.
She wished everyone in the village knew that she had married a daughter-in-law, and she was also a beautiful, virtuous, sensible, hardworking and capable daughter-in-law!
So, the banquet turned into a water feast. After Sun Aotun's guests finished eating, the villagers of Sijiawazitun followed him up.
The master who found a master to work hard kept busy. Fortunately, there were enough ingredients and many people came to help, so despite the busy work, the wedding banquet went smoothly.
The wedding banquet was completely over from 11:00 noon and until after 3:00 in the evening.
