Chapter 17

"When is the third brother going to get married?" Jiang Yan asked.

Jiang Guoguang smiled and said: "However, it will be next year. I saw a house in the city. The owner will not be able to move out until next spring. Counting the cleaning of the house and some preparations before the wedding, it will be almost the same around the National Day next year." .”

Jiang Yu couldn't help being curious, "Third Brother, how much did you pay for the house you bought in the city?"

The city they talk about is actually the county seat, not the so-called XX city, but XX county.

Jiang Guoguang grinned, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which made people feel at ease.

"The house that the third brother bought is not big, only three, and it costs 700 yuan." After finishing speaking, he looked down at Jiang Yu who was walking beside him, "What's the matter, Xiaoyu also wants to buy a house?"

Jiang Yu was speechless, it's so cheap!
But when I think about the prices of this era, I feel that it is not cheap.

700 yuan, which can only be afforded by a rural family who has raised pigs for seven years without eating or drinking.

What?You have to ask why not raise a few more?

They all want to raise more pigs and make more money, but the key is that your family has to have food to feed the pigs. Don’t you just feed the pigs grass?To grow a few catties of meat that year, it still needs to be fed with coarse grains.

These days people have to plan carefully for food, where is there any surplus food to raise pigs.

It is not bad to be able to raise one pig, not to mention that there are not many pig-raising households in the village, less than [-] households, and about [-] pig-raising households are exhausted, which is almost one-tenth of the number.

There is no private economy in this era, and there is no so-called investment, so rural people like to keep money in their pockets instead of going to the county to buy a house. If the family has a place to live, how much is it to buy a house in the county? Silly, what do you rely on for food?
"We have six rooms in our house." Jiang Chuan stretched out six fingers and gestured at Jiang Guoguang, "I won't go to the county."

Jiang Guoguang laughed loudly, "Yes, your house is beautiful."

Their house is indeed very good. Not to mention the envy of the village when it was first built, it is now the best house in the village. Nowadays, many people in the village still live in thatched houses and thatched roofs.

After helping to deliver the food home, Jiang Guoguang picked up the gourd ladle on the large water tank in the courtyard, scooped up half a spoonful of water and drank it, and said with a wipe of his mouth: "Okay, I should go back to sleep too, what should you do?" What."

Jiang Yan didn't stay with the other party either, but he still picked two cucumbers from the vegetable bed in the yard and stuffed them into his hands.

"I did a favor, how can I let you go empty-handed, and give you two cucumbers."

"Come on!" Jiang Guoguang took it, rubbed the thorn on the surface with his hands, took a bite, waved at the three of them, and walked away slowly.

Jiang Yan only looked at his sister when they walked away, "Xiaoyu wants to live in the city?"

"I don't care about this. I'll live wherever you live." She really didn't care.

Although most of the people in her life were house slaves, she was not under any pressure.

Both my grandparents and maternal grandparents are authentic Beijingers, and the conditions of both families are good. When my parents got married, the housing prices in Beijing were not cheap at their time, but they would definitely not be far away. Therefore, the house my parents lived in was bought with full price. of.

In the later period, the capital was demolished one after another. In addition, her parents were the only children in their own families. When she was in college, her family already had thirteen properties, which were demolished by two older generations. They are all rented out, and only relying on the monthly rent, the four elderly people do not need any pensions at all, let alone the generous demolition funds, so they live a very happy life.

At that time, grandma also said that when she got married, she would sell a house and keep the money close to her.

In fact, the house she lived in later was also bought with her own money. Although she was carrying a loan, it was completely stress-free for her, who earns a million dollars a year and only knows to work or stay at home.

If she didn't consider living in a place close to her unit, she wouldn't even need to buy a house.

Thinking of this, her eyes were a little pantothenic.

The question that I have been advised to avoid countless times still inevitably pops up in my mind.

I don't know what's going on with her own body, whether she is dead or in a coma, whether she has been discovered, if her parents know, how sad it will be.

The next morning, Jiang Yu waited until there was no one at home, so she locked the door and went to Jiang Xiuxiu's house.

When we came here, there were only her and Jiang Guoguang at home.

Seeing Jiang Yu, Jiang Xiuxiu greeted Jiang Guoguang, pulled her and ran out of the house to Aunt Fifth's house.

"The family in the county didn't come here for a long time. My mother and my second sister-in-law have already passed, so don't be too late. I heard that they have brought all their things when they come to get engaged this time, and they ring every three times." Jiang Xiuxiu said The tone is full of envy.

Jiang Yu was in a daze, what is the three turns and one sound?
Followed her to the fifth aunt's house in the village. Before she got close, she saw a lot of people gathered here, almost all of them were elderly women, chatting and discussing in a low voice. It was very lively.

The two followed the crowd to the yard, and Jiang Yu saw a bicycle tied with a red ribbon in the yard at a glance, and a cardboard box with Chunqin brand sewing machines written on it, also wrapped with a red ribbon.

She suddenly realized that this is the so-called three turns and one sound.

This is two turns, one turn is a watch, and the other turn is a radio. They are all small objects, so they are naturally brought into the house.

And these two big ones are placed in the courtyard, so that people who come and go can take a look and know that marrying a daughter-in-law is not a bad treatment when they go back, so that people from the woman's own clan can feel at ease when they see it.

Being dragged into the house by Jiang Xiuxiu, the two of them just stayed in the kitchen room, and in the kang room were four aunts and five aunts, three members of Yang Qingqing's family and the one from the county seat who was in the office of the supply and marketing cooperative.

This is also Jiang Yu's first time seeing Yang Qingqing. She is indeed very beautiful, but she is not as good-looking as her eldest sister. Her skin is a little rough and yellow, but she is much better than girls of the same age in the same village. However, according to the perspective of this era, Yang Qingqing can be regarded as the phoenix in the chicken coop, with a good appearance and a good figure.

It's no wonder that he was favored by this man in the county.

"Jiang Yu, look from here." Jiang Xiuxiu tugged at the skirt of her shirt.

She poked her head over, and from this direction, she could see a man in a Chinese tunic suit with gold-rimmed eyes, looking a bit gentle.

After only watching for a while, Jiang Yu lost interest, leaving Jiang Xiuxiu behind, leaving Fifth Aunt's house by herself.

Judging from today's battle, the marriage should be settled, even with such a generous gift, the Yang family will marry Yang Qingqing.

Don't underestimate this, this is the highest standard of marriage in the 70s, just like the value of cars and houses in the later period.

Just by looking at the envious eyes in the yard, one can tell how coveted this marriage is.

Not far from here, he saw He Xun coming on a bicycle. After seeing Jiang Yu, He Xun stopped the bicycle with a smile.

"Why is He Gonggong here?" Seeing the big and small bags on the handlebars of the car, Jiang Yu didn't know what it was like.

She really wanted to ask directly if he had any thoughts about her elder sister, if not, it's better not to come, lest the elder sister think about it all day.

"Didn't you say you wanted to study at home last time when you came here? It just so happens that my younger siblings don't need any textbooks, so I brought you all the review materials." He Xun patted a large cardboard box on the back seat, "don't want?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yu smiled happily, "Thank you He Gongan."

Seeing that she likes it, He Xun didn't do his work in vain. He pushed his bicycle and went to Jiang's house with her.

As for someone pointing behind them, the two of them didn't care at all.

 I read on the Internet that getting married in the 50s only required two people to pack their bedrolls.

  In the 60s, there were 72 legs, which probably meant that the bed, table and chairs had 72 legs.

  In the 70s, three turns and one sound, we talked about it in this chapter.

  The three major items in the 80s were refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines.

  The three major items in the 90s were motorcycle color TV air conditioners and the like.

  Although it looks cheap, considering the wages and social conditions at that time, it is not a small fee.
