Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 82: It’s better to open up than to block (please subscribe!)
Yao Weijun had no intention of asking for the money, but he couldn't stand his parents' insistence. His grandmother also kicked him under the table, so he had to smile and keep the 100 yuan.

The next morning, he first went to Aunt Liu Cui's house, and then rushed to the commune. While he was just at work, he gave Director Xiao a detailed report on the construction progress of the greenhouse in the village, and by the way, he also mentioned the roasted seeds and seeds he was currently doing. Buy and sell.

After Director Xiao’s affirmation and encouragement, I got the stamped documents of the side business development pilot and the sign of the innovative and practical household as I wished.

In this way, as the leader of sideline development assigned by the commune, Yao Wei's greenhouse and roasting are equivalent to formal recognition from the organization. Under the current policy situation, he has successfully classified himself as a rural innovation demonstration household.

Greenhouse planting is a project selected by the commune leaders, and the village department is arranged to be responsible for assisting. The roasting and selling of peanuts and melon seeds, according to the [-]-character guiding ideology given by Director Xiao on behalf of the commune, can be regarded as a kind of point-to-point and common prosperity. things within the framework.

With the written documents of the commune, to a certain extent, there is no need to worry about someone secretly being jealous or even going to the commune to report.

After bidding farewell to Director Xiao, Yao Weijun went to the cooperative and bought a series of gifts such as pork, cigarettes, and liquor. He selected the best ones and planned to take these to Yu Xiunan's house to officially finalize their marriage.

Back in Jianchang Village, when he drove his motorcycle to his home at the east end of the village, Aunt Liu Cui was already waiting for him wearing new clothes.

"Hey, I bought so many things, your gift is quite heavy!"

Aunt Liu Cui came to the motorcycle, looked at the items on the back seat, and smiled with excitement and envy.

It was the first time for a man to come to the woman's house. The more things he brought, the more respect she would have as a matchmaker, so she was naturally happy. Aunt Liu Cui had been a matchmaker for so many years, and this was the first time she saw someone as generous as Yao Weijun. , I was so envious that I only hated myself for not being able to give birth to a beautiful daughter of similar age.

"Aunt Cui, please worry about me and Xiunan's affairs. These are my thoughts, please take them."

Yao Weijun untied the hemp rope from the back seat of the car, took out the bag of tobacco, wine and pork that he had prepared separately, and handed it to Aunt Liu Cui.

"Ouch, this is too much. You two are a match made in heaven. Auntie, I really didn't do much. I feel so embarrassed to take so many things from you! Haha..."

Aunt Liu Cui's eyes shone with excitement, and she pretended to give in, but she didn't dare to push hard, for fear that Yao Weijun would change his mind.

"Aunt Cui, take it as you are told, and don't be polite to me!"

Naturally, there is no reason to take back the things that were sent out. Yao Weijun finished speaking with a smile again and resolutely handed the bag to Aunt Liu Cui.

Aunt Liu Cui was so happy that she couldn't stop the smile on her face. After accepting her feelings, she did not forget her responsibilities and told Yao Weijun:

"Junzi, it's still early. I've just sent word to your father-in-law. They have arrangements for noon. According to the rules, as long as we can't miss the meal, there's no need to go too early. Come on, come to the house. , Auntie, I’ll give you the total first.”

As a matchmaker, she must first understand the ideas of both parties before they can match each other on the spot. To put it bluntly, it is called a stalemate. She can just talk about the good things about both parties and try to blend the conditions and requirements of both parties. It's done.

Although neither Yao Weijun nor Yu Xiunan took the initiative to make any demands, since the Yu family agreed to let Yao Weijun come to the door today, it was equivalent to the Prime Minister. She had to ask what conditions the two parties had in advance to avoid being blinded at the scene.

There are six main rooms, the three on the east are reserved for himself by Yao Weijun, and the main room is in the middle. In a few days, the new house will be arranged in the eastmost one. When he has children in the future, he will live in the west one.

Yao Weijun took Aunt Liu Cui into the main room. The latter looked at the decoration and layout of the room and kept praising it. After sitting down, her attention was quickly drawn back by Yao Weijun's words.

"Aunt Cui, I can do whatever I want. I believe Xiu Nan thinks the same as me. Well... you went to Xiu Nan's house just now. Did my future father-in-law say anything to you?"

Yao Weijun asked calmly.

Aunt Liu Cui pursed her lips and smiled, and said crisply: "It's really strange. In all the years I have been working as a matchmaker, this is the first time that a man and a woman have both asked the same question. The key point is that they both said they have no opinion, haha... "

After laughing for a while, she explained: "Yu Xiunan's father Liquan told me the truth. He didn't put forward any conditions. He claimed that as long as the two children are willing, they can do whatever they want. But he asked me something. I want to hear it. Do you have any idea.

Look, isn’t this a marriage made in heaven? In other families, when juniors get married, the women are always willing to accept their own conditions. It’s good for you. My father-in-law even asked for your opinion, hahaha... Okay, both parties have agreed. As a matchmaker, I will take it as three oxen pulling the plow, and there will be no more than one set! "

Aunt Liu Cui smiled frankly with a self-deprecating tone.

"You can't say that. Aunt Cui, you have been a matchmaker for these years. There are still a lot of things for you to worry about regarding the wedding ceremony. So, um..."

Yao Weijun pondered slightly and said seriously: "The new society of the country pays attention to new things and new things. Let's not go through the cumbersome process of three-phase engagement and family recognition. After all, we are from the same village. Xiu Nan and I have known each other for a long time. , this time I come to visit, I will decide the wedding date, choose a good day, and pick up Xiunan to come to the house!" Aunt Liu Cui stopped smiling when she heard this, as if she had something to say.

But Yao Weijun continued before she could speak: "Of course, the process can be omitted, because Xiunan has to go to work, and I also have to be busy with building a greenhouse in the village, but there are proper etiquette, gifts, wedding wine, and banquets for the villagers. Not only should there be no shortage of items such as home furnishings for young and old, as well as wedding furniture and electrical appliances, but they should also be done as well and as comprehensively as possible.

Aunt Cui, you are not an outsider. Let me tell you what I have to say. The gift money is 800 yuan. This money is for Xiunan’s family. In addition, I will prepare four big items three times and one time, so that Xiunan can walk in glory. Enter this house.

As for the banquet for Zhuangxiang, Aunt Qingcui will have to take the trouble to help my father with more advisers. As the old saying goes, if there are many people involved, they will consider it more carefully and not neglect the guests. "

Aunt Liu Cui was stunned by Yao Weijun's words.

Well, this kind of matchmaking method is really the first time for her that a big girl has boarded a sedan chair. When has she ever seen a man take such initiative and rush to spend money?

Generally speaking, shouldn’t the woman put forward these conditions?

After that, let the matchmaker run back and forth again and again. I hope the marriage can be successfully completed. Your lips must be made of meat, otherwise they will all have to be worn thin!

"Junzi, if you only keep these demands, then the aunt will really become superfluous. Don't worry. When we get to Brother Liquan's house later, I promise to hand it over to you exactly as it is. The marriage is [-]% done!"

Aunt Liu Cui just had to pat her chest to make sure. After understanding Yao Weijun's thoughts, she felt relaxed all over. It was the first time she met such an easy matchmaker, and she felt extremely happy.

After munching on spiced melon seeds, we sat at Yao Weijun's place for a while. Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Yao Xiangui, his second sister-in-law, and his grandma also came. The whole family paid great attention to Lao Wu's visit to the girl's house today.

"I didn't see it clearly last night, but there's putty on the wall? Tsk...it doesn't feel dusty at all, it's so clean!"

The second sister-in-law looked at the spacious and bright room and couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually... there's no need to be so conspicuous. Should I say anything in front of his aunt? Fifth child, it's better to be down-to-earth in everything. If you stand out too much, it's easy for people to talk behind your back."

After learning about Yao Weijun's plan to get married, his father Yao Xiangui reminded him meaningfully.

This is true. After all, the village is still very backward. Most people still live in adobe houses for many years. Yao Weijun built a row of brick houses and held a wedding with great fanfare. It is inevitable that it will be true. There are some bad guys who go outside to spread the word.

Yao Xiangui had a good reputation, but he had never shown off such a "wealthy" situation to the outside world before. It was almost as good as the commune leaders, and he couldn't help but feel panicked, worried that his fifth son would cause trouble.

"His father, our military son makes money based on his own abilities. Can outsiders take care of it? Besides, military son is now the leader appointed by the commune leader. He has no ability to make money, so how can he be the leader!"

Mother Zhu Mei was the first to retort disapprovingly.

Sitting in the big tile-roofed house with clear windows, she felt not only happy but also filled with pride.

"Go, go, go, I can't hear anything nice to say, I open my mouth up and down, I can't help myself, what do you know!"

Yao Xiangui waved his hands and scolded him impatiently.

"Dad, I understand what you mean, but what mother said makes sense. No, I just got the brand from the commune today. I am now designated as an innovative practitioner by the leaders of the commune. I just have to set an example before I can change." It is convenient to attract people in the village to work with me, so that everyone can embark on the road to prosperity."

Yao Weijun stood up calmly, took the nameplate, which was not much bigger than a pencil case, and showed it to his family in public.

"In addition to this sign, there is also a stamped document issued by the commune, which specifies that I should take the lead in hard work, explore more, innovate more, strive to find a path suitable for the development of our village, and make money together with everyone!"

Yao Weijun deliberately explained in front of Aunt Liu Cui, "In addition, I have thought about hosting a banquet for the elders of our village when I get married. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will ask the village leaders to speak in public. I want everyone to see my real achievements and feel free to follow me in the future!"

From Yao Weijun's point of view, it is better to block things like revealing one's wealth. Even if you want to hide it, it is difficult to prevent it from being seen by interested parties. Instead of letting people talk and speculate behind your back, it is better to put it on the table openly.

With the commune document as an endorsement, hanging that sign at the entrance of the courtyard will definitely dissuade many people, and it will also become an example of leading the way in getting rich, and nothing else.
