Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 100
The courtyard was festive and noisy. Director Xiao's words made the guests at this table nod frequently, giving them a new understanding of policies.

Especially Yao Weijun, his heart was clear at this moment, and he felt like he was suddenly enlightened.

In the past, he had never dared to expand the business too much because he was worried that problems would arise. But now with Director Xiao's encouragement and support, he felt that he could speed up the pace appropriately.

The county's former multi-business office has been reorganized into a comprehensive industrial and commercial office. Now individuals can also apply for licenses, which indicates that the development of sideline businesses will become increasingly clear in the suburbs of Beijing.

"How are you, Guardsman? Are you satisfied with the gift I brought?"

Director Xiao asked with a smile.

Yao Weijun recovered his thoughts, stood up and raised his glass, "Director Xiao, I, Yao Weijun, have no words to repay you for supporting me and supporting the development of our Jianchang Village!
In the future, I will do my best to implement your guiding ideology. No matter how difficult it is, I promise that I will not relax! "

"Yes! Although our Jianchang Village has been lagging behind in agriculture due to the soil quality, we also have a slogan..."

Li Qiming, the village party secretary, also stood up, also picked up his wine glass, and continued with some excitement: "Acknowledge poverty but don't accept it. The poorer you get, the harder you work! No difficulty can defeat us!"

"Okay! With your two statements, I feel relieved and will wait for your good news!"

Director Xiao was also affected by the emotion and drank a glass of wine with Yao Weijun.

At this time, the people having a banquet in the courtyard saw Yao Weijun and the party secretary standing up, and they all looked over.

"Uncle Ming, Director Xiao happens to be here too. Please give us a few words."

Yao Weijun signaled to Li Qiming that the two had discussed before that when Yao Weijun got married, they would once again announce Yao Weijun's identity as the leader of the sideline business and encourage more villagers to participate in greenhouse mushroom cultivation.

At this time, the latter understood, and after getting Director Xiao's consent, he turned around and preached to everyone with excitement.

First, he called on everyone to welcome the arrival of Director Xiao of the commune, and then he praised Yao Weijun in public without hesitation, and pointed at the yard for everyone to see for themselves, promising that as long as they are willing to follow Yao Weijun, they will all live in a brand new house in the future. Brick and tile house, no need to worry about food and drink.

Finally, I specially asked Director Xiao to say a few words, which immediately aroused warm applause, and many people's eyes showed excitement.

Yao Weijun saw it and was very satisfied with the effect of the scene.

With the branch secretary personally publicizing it and commune leaders sitting on the spot, everything he does now is well-known. At least on the surface, no one dares to say to his face that he is speculating.

And when I follow Director Xiao's instructions and go to the county to apply for a self-employed license, I will have no worries at all.

The wedding banquet was still going on happily. Director Xiao and Director Yu didn't sit there for too long. They only stayed for less than half an hour and then took the lead to leave.

After Yao Weijun saw off the two of them, he came back and started to toast with Yu Xiunan from table to table. It was extremely lively and festive, so I won't go into details here.

It was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the wedding banquet ended and the guests left one after another.

The three of them, Xu Wenyuan, were very touched by the news they heard today, and each of them was thinking about their next plan. After drinking and eating, they all said goodbye and left.

There is also a banquet in the evening, but it is dedicated to entertaining relatives and friends of the family, such as villagers who come to help, as well as matchmakers and close relatives of both parties.

After the wedding banquet at noon, the third sister Yao Weifang pushed Yao Weijun into a side room with a strange smile.

"I've already made arrangements for Xiu Nan. You, just sleep here for a while. We both have business to do tonight. Don't get too sleepy before entering the bridal chamber!"

Yao Weifang had a weird smile on her face, and after finishing speaking, she walked out the door.

Yao Weijun felt a little tired after working for a long time, so he lay on the bed and squinted his eyes to rest.

After the guests left, the whole family was busy cleaning up the yard. Ma Guangsheng directed Shunzi and others to prepare the evening meal again.

As night fell, the old Yao family was once again full of guests. Banquets were set up in the two main rooms and side rooms. As they drank and drank, the festive atmosphere was even more lively than the wedding banquet at noon.

This time, Yao Weijun and Yu Xiunan sat together in the main room, and there was a chorus of cheers and drinks.

Yu Xiunan's pretty face was rosy, she also drank some wine, and her beautiful eyes were full of shyness.

Yao Weijun saw that it was late, and the two tables of elderly guests in other rooms had also left. Knowing that Shunzi would definitely lead a group of people to make noise in the wedding room, he shouted outside the room:

"Third Sister! Do you still have the liquor I bought in the county? Get another bottle!"

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it!"

Yao Weifang's response came from outside. Yao Weijun knew that the third sister had been waiting for his signal.

"Hey, Commander Yao, how dare you hide some good wine? Come on, don't be stunned and have a drink!"

Shunzi winked and screamed strangely. Seeing that Yu Xiunan didn't intend to drink, he immediately said:
"Sister-in-law, it's okay if you don't drink this wine. Don't worry, as long as you drink this glass of wine, I will promise not to give you two too difficult programs later. I will do what I say!"

Yao Weijun glared at him, knowing that this boy was going to work hard, so he simply took the wine glass in front of Yu Xiunan and drank it down without waiting for him to finish.

"Okay, who of the two of us is drinking? I'm drinking for Xiunan!"

"That won't work! Commander Yao, this is boring. We are here to honor our sister-in-law. What's going on if you drink it?"

Shunzi shook his head like a rattle and objected loudly: "You can drink the wine we offer to my sister-in-law, so let's follow the rules. As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, you have to drink two, right? How many brothers? "

"Yes, yes! You must drink two!"

"I think drinking four is the right thing. It will make you rich all year round!"

"..."

A group of people started to get excited.

at this time.

Yao Weifang led the party secretary Li Qiming in.

As soon as the old party secretary appeared, everyone was startled, wondering how he could come back so late at night.

"Stop drinking. The leader of the commune just called and asked the guards to write a written document overnight and bring it to the commune to discuss work tomorrow morning!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned. Yao Weijun also frowned slightly and took the lead in asking:
"Why is it so important that it can't be done tomorrow?"

He knew that if he didn't ask, Shunzi and others would ask, so if he said it himself, his credibility would be higher.

"Then it's too late. Director Xiao, who came today, asked you to rush to the commune early tomorrow morning, write a plan for the greenhouse, and take it with you to the leader for inspection!"

Li Qiming also frowned and explained, with helplessness on his face, but it looked like the real thing.

"Ahem... Renjunzi is getting married today. Please tell the boss about it on the phone. Can it be the same tomorrow?"

Shunzi belched wine and chuckled unsteadily.

"If I want to have the final say, do I still have to go there in person at night?"

Li Qiming glanced sideways at him and said in a serious tone, "Okay, everyone has drank the wedding wine and made enough noise. Let the guards calm down and find a way to complete the tasks assigned by the leader!"

"..."

Shunzi and the others look at me and I look at you. In their minds, the old party secretary is usually a strict and rigid person, so it is true that this could not be prevented.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't I report it to the commune leaders and ask each of you to write a life report?!"

Li Qiming half-jokingly and half-seriously glared at the young people who were getting ready for the wedding ceremony and urged.

Upon hearing this, Shunzi and others panicked. In the past few years, the adults in the family had been writing this stuff a lot. Those who were illiterate had to ask others to help them write. Anyone who didn't write deeply would be unlucky the next day.

"Don't bother, we are very conscious, so there is no need!" Shunzi waved his hands quickly, congratulated Yao Weijun again, and quickly went out with a group of young people unwilling to do so.

This is the custom in rural areas, and making wedding arrangements is an indispensable part. If no one is making noises and making noises during the wedding ceremony, it means that they are not popular in the village and live behind closed doors.

The old Yao family is naturally not that kind of family, but Yao Weijun doesn't like to be pranked by a group of people. Although he has brought Shunzi to make trouble in other people's bridal chambers before, when it was his turn, he was a little frightened.

So yesterday he made an agreement with the Party Secretary to help him act out this scene. Anyway, he has the conditions, and it only takes a few words, which can save him and Xiunan a lot of trouble.

A pretty daughter-in-law is married, and she has enough time to deal with the wedding ceremony. Wouldn't it be nice to talk more about life?

"Uncle Ming, please sit down and have a cup of tea!"

"Don't mention it. It's getting late. It's time to rest. Remember to ride a motorcycle through the village tomorrow morning. Hey, is it easy for me to have a wedding dinner? I have to bear this honor for you at my old age. ,Ha ha……"

Li Qiming took the cigarette with a smile, turned around and went out with his hands behind his back.

Yao Weijun, who would not lack etiquette, followed behind and sent Party Secretary Li Qiming out of the courtyard.

When he returned to the yard, he saw that the third sister and Yu Xiunan were cleaning up the dishes from the house, while the sister-in-law had already started washing in the side room.

"It's so late. Let's clean up tomorrow. Sister-in-law, third sister, you should also go to bed early."

The whole family had a hard time today, Yao Weijun said with a smile.

"It's quick, no trouble."

The sister-in-law responded with a rare smile on her face.

"Okay, my sister-in-law and I will take care of the rest. You can take Xiunan back to the house quickly. How can a bride be asked to work on the first day? Weijun, take Xiunan back to the house quickly!"

Third sister Yao Weifang pushed him and Yu Xiunan into the bedroom, and thoughtfully closed the two doors from the outside before leaving.

The red candle flickered.

Yao Weijun looked at the shy Yu Xiunan with great expectation in his heart.

"There is hot water in the outer room. You have been busy all day. I will make some warm water for you to soak your feet and relieve your fatigue."

Yu Xiunan was flustered by what he saw, her ears and temples felt hot. After speaking softly, she ducked to the outhouse.

Yao Weijun twirled his fingers a few times, then simply sat on the edge of the bed, leaning forward and waiting.

Soon, Yu Xiunan came in with warm water in an enamel basin, and placed it obediently at Yao Weijun's feet. Then, after a slight hesitation, he took the initiative to help Yao Weijun take off his shoes and socks.

"Wait a minute."

Yao Weijun did not soak his feet immediately, but got up and took the chair next to him and asked Yu Xiunan to sit on the edge of the bed. He sat on the chair, leaned over and grabbed Yu Xiunan's ankle.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xiunan's body trembled, and her already nervous mood became even more intense at this moment. She stretched her legs hard to prevent Yao Weijun from lifting them up.

"Soak your feet. You've been quite tired this day. Let's wash your feet together."

Yao Weijun looked at her tenderly and said.

"I'll just wait until you finish washing. Oh no, I'll do it myself."

Yu Xiunan was not used to it, but she was not as strong as Yao Weijun. As she was talking, she felt a chill on her feet and her shoes and socks had been taken off.

"In the future, we will eat in the same pot and sleep under the same quilt. Now, what's wrong with washing our feet together? Hurry, the water will be cold later!"

Yao Weijun pressed her white feet into the basin, sat on the chair and stretched her feet in.

"Hiss... it feels good!" The warm water soaked his feet, and the original soreness and swelling were relieved. Yao Weijun exhaled softly from the bottom of his heart and looked at Yu Xiunan with an intoxicated expression.

"Just wash your feet, why are you stepping on me!"

Yu Xiunan's face turned red, and the strange feeling on her feet made her so ashamed and angry that she couldn't help but glare and scold her.

"Can't you bear this little strength? Why don't I squeeze it for you?"

Yao Weijun put his hand into the enamel basin, and the expression on his face became ambiguous.

A night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, a moment is worth a thousand dollars, a foot bath... that's all I want. How can we waste time on such an important moment?

"I don't need you to pinch my feet, just let me go!"

"Don't move around, otherwise the water will spill out. I'm going to relax you, so you don't have to tense up. It's so uncomfortable!"

"...please keep your voice down, my sister-in-law and the others are not asleep yet!"

"Why do you care about others? Take care of yourself first. Look, the water is coming out!"

"...I, I won't do it anymore, you have no good intentions!"

"That's what I said, as if I'm willing to hang out!"

"Oh, wait while I pour out the water in the basin first!"

"No, it's better to have some water in the house. It will save you from dryness! Besides, the well just opened in the courtyard means we are not short of water..."

"Your hands! I...well, please slow down..."

"Okay Brother Nan."

"oops!……"

……

There are cold stars outside the house, the dew is heavy on the autumn night, and the lights inside the house are jumping up and down.

The first glimpse of the door is a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Yao Weijun woke up and found that Yu Xiunan had already cleaned it up. He didn't know how he turned it over. The sheets on the bed had disappeared, and even the pillow towels had been replaced...

"Are you awake? Hurry out from the window and open the door to the outer room. I'll take out last night's foot-washing water and pour it out!"

When Yu Xiunan saw him making movement on the bed, she glanced over in shame and urged him angrily.

"Hey, do you think the third sister closed the door from the outside last night? Yes, she is quite honest. She was worried that you might escape in the middle of the night. Really!"

Yao Weijun sat up lazily, feeling his empty body, and teased with a half-hearted smile.

"Can you hurry up? If it weren't for me... Bah, you'd be bad and don't care about me at all!"

Halfway through Yu Xiunan's words, he seemed to have touched a sore spot and couldn't help scolding Yao Weijun again.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. If you feel weak, stop moving. I'll open the door!"

Yao Weijun felt regret and pity, quickly got up, put on his coat, jumped out of the window, and prepared to open the door of the outhouse.

"Hey, Junzi, why did you jump out of the window with your clothes on?"

The third sister and her sister-in-law were busy having breakfast in the side room. They happened to come out to pour the swill and saw this scene. They couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

"Junzi, couldn't it be Xiunan who kicked you out in the middle of the night? You are really good!"
