The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 183, pick up relatives

Just when the three of them were hiding aside, chatting and joking, Zhao's mother came looking for them in a hurry.

"Weiguo, Xiaocan, hurry up, hurry up, it's almost time. Hurry up and pick up your wife with the soldiers. Don't miss the auspicious time."

"Okay, get the order!"

The three brothers didn't dare to delay, so they got up quickly.

When they came to the gate of the courtyard together, Zhao Guobing was already ready to go. There was a big red flower hanging on the front of the brand-new [-]-bar car, and his face was full of smiles.

Accompanied by them were a group of children from the Grain Institute on bicycles. They were all well-dressed and their cars were cleaned. Ding Guandong, who had captured Cui Zhi together before, was also on the wedding reception.

After the three brothers Li Weiguo came out, the wedding team was almost ready. Including Li Weiguo and Zhou Can, there were a total of eight bicycles with big red flowers hung on the fronts.

Seeing Li Weiguo and the others come out, Zhao Guobing hurriedly wiped off his sweat, and urged: "Brothers, hurry up, let's go, don't make my wife wait in a hurry."

"What's the rush? It's yours, can you run away?"

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him, pushed out the bicycle, straddled the bike with his long legs, and then joked: "I said Guobing, your body is so weak, do you want me to prepare some Shiquan Dabu Pills for you?" ?”

Zhao Guobing was immediately asked about itching, but it was so easy to talk about it in the public.

His face straightened and he said seriously: "Why am I weak? I am in good health." He patted his chest as he spoke to prove that he was strong.

Then, he changed the topic again: "However, since it is Wei Guoqian's intention, it is a waste, so how much is it? Bring it to me and take a look."

"Hey, Guobing, can you do it, do you want me to help you push your butt for a few nights?"

"That's right, National Soldier, if you have any difficulties, just ask. We have been friends for more than ten years, and several brothers have been designated to help you."

"Hahaha"

Zhou Can, Ding Guandong and others all cheered.

Zhao Guobing blushed and scolded with a smile: "There's no need to get lost, I'll do it myself."

While everyone was chatting nonsense, Mama Zhao came out from the yard, and seeing that the group of young men hadn't moved yet, she immediately opened her eyes, raised her hand and slapped Zhao Guobing on the back of the head.

"What time is it and you haven't set off yet?"

"Oh, mom, today is a big day, can't you save me some face?" Zhao Guobing rubbed the back of his head and complained to Zhao's mother resentfully.

No matter what day you are, Mama Zhao will stare at you and raise her hand to hit you: "You are my son any day! Hurry up, if you go late and delay the auspicious time, let's see how I will deal with you!"

"Hey, don't leave right now."

Seeing the empress dowager of the Zhao family getting angry, Zhao Guobing didn't dare to delay, he shrank his head, stepped on the pedal quickly, and jumped out with his head.

Li Weiguo and others followed behind.

Along the way, Zhao Guobing and a group of young men rode bicycles hung with big red flowers to swagger through the city, attracting many eyeballs, and pedestrians stopped to watch.

After all, it is relatively rare these days to have eight bicycles for a bride-to-be. For most families, if the groom can borrow two or three bicycles, it is considered a good sign.

Zhao Guobing and his party of eight cars and ten or so people chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Yu'er Hutong of Fuxiang Neighborhood Committee.

Yuan Manxia's father is the first brother of the Jiaodaokou Street Office, and the family's house happens to be located in a separate courtyard near the Street Office.

As soon as Zhao Guobing and his party arrived at the door of the courtyard, several little kids guarding the door gathered around them and shouted, "The groom is here, please give us wedding candies!"

Zhao Guobing was also prepared. He parked the car and quickly took out a few fruit candies from his bag. Each of them got one piece, and he did not dare to give more. Candies are also a rare commodity these days, and he could not buy too many at one time.

Zhao Guobing prepared 3 catties of fruit candies in his satchel, but he wasn’t sure if it was enough, so before he came out, Zhao’s mother told him to give each person one or two, but don’t force it, otherwise it will be gone before the process is over. It's time to sit on the wax.

After dismissing the children who were blocking the door, a group of big and small guys rushed into the courtyard, Zhao Guobing led the way, followed by Li Weiguo, Zhou Can and others.

Entering the courtyard, the Yuan family's private courtyard was full of people, and the small courtyard seemed very crowded.

The courtyard was full of neighbors, relatives and friends. When they saw the groom leading the way in, they all looked at Zhao Guobing curiously.

Getting married these days is relatively simple and simple, without so many procedures and customs in later generations.

When you come, say hello to your neighbors, relatives and friends, say hello to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, call your parents, and then you can pick up your daughter-in-law and leave.

There is neither blocking the door, nor asking for red envelopes, and there is no plot of vulgarity to make things difficult.

When Zhao Guobing and others walked into Yuan's yard, Yuan Manxia's family had already been waiting in the house. Yuan's father, Yuan's mother, and Yuan Manxia's eldest brother and sister-in-law got up early to make arrangements, waiting for Zhao Guobing to come to pick up the bride.

Yuan Manxia wore two braids on her hair today, and she was wearing a brand new white shirt and blue overalls. She also wore a big red flower on her chest, and she had a big bag beside her. These were her personal clothes. something like that.

In the center of the main room, there were also two baskets with happy characters on them, which contained the dowry that Yuan's father and Yuan mother had prepared for her.

There are two brand-new quilts, sheets, two red embroidered pillows, two kettles and other tea trays, combs, round mirrors, towels, enamel jars, toothbrushes and other daily necessities.

There are also two large items, a Shanghai brand radio and a Butterfly brand sewing machine.

Good guy, plus the bicycle and watch bought by Zhao Guobing himself before, he can get it all together after three turns.

In addition, Yuan Ma also handed her a brand new army green satchel. I don't know what it contained, but it was probably money, jewelry and other small items.

Just looking at these things in front of them, one can see how much Yuan's father and Yuan mother love their daughter.

These days, many families favor sons over daughters, and few families are willing to spend such money on marrying off their daughters.

It seems that Yuan's father and Yuan's mother were also worried that their daughter would be wronged when they married, so they specially prepared a suitable dowry for her to support their daughter.

Entering the main room, Zhao Guobing was so excited when he saw the daughter-in-law whom he had been thinking about day and night, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, walked quickly to the front, and said loudly to Yuan's father and mother, "Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Manxia. "

Dad Yuan didn't speak, just smiled and nodded. He was quite satisfied with Zhao Guobing, his shabby son-in-law. He came from a good family background. Dad Zhao was the deputy director of the Grain Institute and was on the rise. Zhao Guobing was also a street cadre at a young age. A true young hero.

But no matter how good the pig is, he is about to give his own cabbage, and he still has a somewhat complicated mood, so he doesn't know what to say at this moment, but just smiles and doesn't speak.

Yuan Ma couldn't control her mood at the moment. She held her daughter's hand and handed her daughter over to Zhao Guobing. She kept pulling Zhao Guobing there to give instructions.

"National soldiers, Manxia will be handed over to you in the future. I hope you can support each other until the end. If there is anything wrong with Manxia in the future, I hope you don't beat her. Just tell me and I will fix it." She'll just bring it back." As she spoke, Mama Yuan couldn't help but began to wipe away her tears.

Although the two families are on the same street in Jiaodaokou and are not far apart, the married daughter throws water on her and how her daughter will live in the Zhao family in the future, the mother's family is not allowed to interfere at will.

Seeing her mother crying sadly, Yuan Manxia's eye circles were also red. She hugged Yuan's mother reluctantly, sobbing: "Mom, don't worry, the soldiers and I will live a good life. You and my dad should also take care of ourselves. We Dad is not in good health, please watch him and don't let him smoke too much. You are often in poor health, so don't do too much heavy work, let my brother and sister-in-law help you share more, and .”

As they talked, the two couldn't help but hugged each other and burst into tears.
