Hello 1983

  Chapter 161 The Lost Story

   "The bridegroom is back!"

  The little boys standing on the road shouted loudly.

  Although today is not a rest day, Teacher Yang has arranged a rest day.

   Otherwise, these children are not at ease in class, just thinking about eating croquettes at the seat.

   "Fire the firecrackers when you've got it right, don't be like last time."

  Da Zhang Luo also learned a lot from a fall, and hurriedly told those half-children who wanted to set off firecrackers.

   "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang Luo, you can't go wrong!"

  The half-children had already spotted the jeep and the Great Liberation, and poked the prepared cigarette butts on the firecrackers.

  Liu Qingshan drove the jeep, the first car, parked the car on the avenue facing Zhang Ganzi's house, and smiled at the back: "I'm home."

   "Yes, Cuihua, Xiaoman, we are home."

   Zhang Ganzi pushed the car door first, and then pulled out the reddish Wang Cuihua, and there was a burst of booing all around.

   Xiaoman is a girl who happens to be ten years old this year, she is a little scared and timid.

  When Liu Qingshan saw the fourth and fifth children in the crowd, he waved to them, and the two little girls ran over.

   "This is your sister Xiaoman, let's play with her."

  Liu Qingshan greeted, and then began to act as a photographer with a camera.

  The natal family who came to see off their relatives were all envious: these days, when they get married, they can go to the county to take a group photo.

   It is so precious to record all the wedding scenes like this, and it will be full of memories in the future.

   "Sister, when you get married, you must also take pictures."

  Liu Wenjing's sister, talking to her sister.

  At the end of the day, she still didn't forget to give Liu Qingshan a glare: It's this guy who doesn't agree, hum!

   "Grandpa Zhishu, and Zhishu Liu, take a group photo with you and Uncle Ganzi's family of three."

  At the gate of Zhang Ganzi’s house, Liu Qingshan directed the group, and many children also smiled and approached the camera, but they were all chased away by Da Zhang Luo.

  After the group photo was finished, Xiaoman was held by the fourth and fifth, and went to play with the little friends in the village. I believe she will soon integrate into this warm family.

  The crowd surrounded the bride and entered the new house, especially the natal family, who looked around with critical eyes.

  There is a new radio on the cover of the cabinet, and there is also a brand new big clock, and Wang Cuihua wears a shiny new watch on her wrist, which makes sense.

   "It seems that a TV is missing."

  One of Wang Cuihua's elders muttered. After entering the village, he paid attention to it. There were almost ten TV antenna poles erected in the small Jiapigou.

   "When the dividend is paid at the end of the year, I will definitely bring back a TV!"

   Zhang Ganzi now has a stiff back, and he has the confidence to speak.

  Boss Che also grinned and chimed in: "Pole, why don't you bring me the cardboard box that houses the TV in my house first, and put on the TV cover, just like the TV."

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to laugh: Doesn't that mean we have to ask Captain Zhang to hide behind the cardboard box?

  He suddenly remembered a skit in the Spring Festival Gala, which seemed to be called a lazy blind date. The village chief in it pretended to be a TV host in a cardboard box.

   As it turns out, slobs aren’t always slobs.

  After the ceremony was completed, each of them sat down and prepared to start the banquet. Zhang Pole was also inside and outside the house, wandering around like a headless chicken.

  Mouth seems to be muttering, I don't know what to mutter.

  Boss Che followed behind and listened for a while, and then almost laughed out loud. He ran out of the house and said to everyone:

   "Guess what the pole is saying?"

  This is really hard to guess, everyone is looking at Che Boss, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

   "Haha, you're so funny, the pole keeps muttering there, why isn't it dark!"

  There were a few kids next to me who heard this, and immediately became unhappy. Si Huzi said angrily: "We haven't sat down yet, it can't be dark."

  Er Mangzi also asked curiously: "Is Uncle Ganzi sleepy and want to sleep?"

  The adults around were not busy either, they laughed and said, "Yes, uncle Ganzi, you just want to sleep!"

  Well, this joke must have been told last year.

  But it’s also understandable. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has been a bachelor for nearly forty years, wouldn’t you be in a hurry?

  Liu Qingshan also wandered around, picking out interesting photos and taking a few.

  For example, the small table for writing the gift account will be changed into red envelopes in the future. Of course, it must be photographed as a souvenir.

   Moreover, it was the grandfather Liu Shikui, holding a five-yuan bill in his hand, and handing it cheerfully to the kidnapper grandpa who was in charge of collecting the money.

  Grandpa Kidnap also asked: "Old Liu, do you want some change?"

   At this time, the gifted people have one or two yuan, so you have to ask.

  Liu Shikui smiled and shook his head: "Everyone, please help, don't let the pole be caught."

  Many people have the same thoughts, so most of the gifts recorded in the gift book are five yuan.

   "It's still rich in Jiapigou, and you are all gifted."

  There were two familiar guests from the natal family who came to stroll around, looking at the account book, they couldn't help expressing their feelings.

   That's right, five yuan is indeed a lot in the countryside of this era.

   When the banquet started, the dish was quite hard, with fish and meat, and various fresh vegetables.

  The fish is Kaijiang fish bought from the reservoir, which is very fresh.

  The meat was kept during the Chinese New Year. It was placed in a large tank in the warehouse and kept iced. At least it has been kept until now.

  Of course Zhang Ganzi didn’t have such calculations, the old party secretary left it for his nephew.

  Liu Qingshan took a few photos of the scene of drinking at the table, with simple smiling faces sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a small wine cup, which has a sense of age.

   Zhang Ganzi led Wang Cuihua to toast at the table. Seeing that Liu Qingshan was still busy there, he pushed him to the table and yelled loudly:

   "Qingshan, eat some food first, your uncle can marry a wife, you are the best!"

   After finishing speaking, he turned to face Wang Cuihua again: "Cuihua, you don't know, I used to be a lazy guy, I didn't finish my last meal, and the mice didn't even come to my house."

  Why don't you know, your kid is too lazy to be famous in the surrounding villages.

  Old branch secretary Liu who was also sitting at this table secretly replied for his niece.

  Wang Cuihua saw that her husband became more and more excited, and couldn't help holding Zhang Ganzi's hand: "Ganzi, that's all in the past, I know, you are capable now, and you know how to love others, so I am content."

   Zhang Ganzi felt more and more excited when he heard this, and shook his wife's hand, trembling a little.

   Liu Qingshan saw that Zhang Ganzi's eye circles were red, and quickly persuaded him: "Uncle Ganzi, the days to come will definitely get better and better. Today is a day of great joy, and everyone is still waiting for you to toast."

  Yes, toast!

  Zhang Ganzi wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Qingshan, the person who should respect you the most is you. Let me toast you first. If you didn't lead everyone, I wouldn't even marry a mouse now, let alone a wife!"

   This wine must be drunk, Liu Qingshan's alcohol capacity is not bad, after all, he has to drink more than half a bowl of medicinal wine every morning, and he has already exercised.

   It's just that he knows that alcohol is bad for his health, and he is still young, so he usually knows how to control himself.

   But I am happy today, I must drink one.

  He held up the wine cup with both hands: "Uncle Ganzi, and Aunt Cuihua, I wish you a happy life and an early baby!"

   After speaking, there was a bark, and then the bottom of the cup was brightened.

   About giving birth to a precious child early, Zhang Ganzi was most happy to hear it, and immediately smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder hard:

   "Qingshan, with your good words, when Zhang Ganzi gives birth to a son, I must recognize you as my godfather, and I will definitely be as promising as you in the future!"

   No, I haven’t got a family yet, okay, so I’ll adopt a son, isn’t it appropriate?

  Liu Qingshan was a little dazed and blinked twice:

   "Uncle Ganzi, let me take care of it first, your son recognizes me as a godfather, and I call you Uncle Ganzi, isn't this a poor generation?"

  Everyone at the wine table couldn't help laughing.

  Zhang Ganzi scratched the back of his head: "Then recognize you as the eldest brother, and teach your brother well when the time comes."

  The big Zhang Luo next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected: "Gaozi, let's not study this, wait until you give birth to your son first."

   "Hehe, then I must work hard, anyway, it is also an old-fashioned way of farming."

   Zhang Ganzi was grinning, while Wang Cuihua beside her was blushing with embarrassment, and couldn't help pinching Zhang Ganzi secretly.

  This time Zhang Ganzi was not so honest. He grinned his teeth and let out an exaggerated ouch, which made everyone laugh again.

   In such a joyful atmosphere, the banquet ended, and Liu Qingshan and the others sent back their satisfied natal family, which was considered a successful completion of the task.

  In the evening, Er Biaozi came to Liu Qingshan, saying that he was going to see the bridal chamber.

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Uncle Ganzi is in a hurry, so let's stop making trouble, a spring night is worth a thousand dollars."

  Er Biaozi also had a smirk on his face: "Then I won't go, after all, he is a generation older than us, and he can't let go."

   It is estimated that most of the people in the village also have this in mind, so they only went to a few people symbolically at night, and left early after the excitement.

  But this does not mean that everything is safe, because there are not only newlyweds in this bridal chamber, but also a baby.

  In the rural areas, some adults have too much time to spare, and they like to tease children and get their words out of their mouths.

  Children tell the truth, and sometimes they can ask some fun things.

  For example, ask: "Er Mangzi, did your father and your mother fight last night?"

  Children are ignorant: "Slapped."

  Adults will continue to ask: "Then who won?"

  Those careless children would reply: "My father won, and my mother was riding down."

   and so on, can make adults happy for a long time.

  So when the girl who changed her name to Zhang Xiaoman went to school with the fourth child the next morning, she was questioned by some old and unscrupulous guys.

  Dashuai Zhang asked first: "Xiaoman, have you moved to a new place, are you still used to sleeping?"

   This sounds like an experienced old fritter, so don't rush to ask the question.

  Xiaoman is a sincere child. He was a little tired from playing yesterday and slept soundly, so he nodded.

  Dashuai Zhang just started to say, "Why did I hear movement in your house last night?"

  Xiao Man blinked her eyes and thought for a while: "I slept in the northern kang, when I was about to fall asleep, I seemed to hear that my father and mother in the southern kang had lost something, and I was looking for something there."

   There is drama!

  Dashuai Zhang and the others couldn't help but their eyes lit up: "How did you find it?"

  Xiaoman thought about it again: "My father first said that he couldn't find it, and my mother said that my father was stupid, and my father asked my mother to help find it. Then I became sleepy and fell asleep. I don't know if I found it."

  Hang Chi Hang Chi, those guys held back their laughter and waved their hands to tell the children to go to school.

   Waiting for the children to leave, these guys laughed together.

  Dashuai Zhang was even more happy to slap his thigh: "This guy is bragging. He wanted to kill seven in and seven out, but the result was good. He didn't even find the enemy camp, so he got lost!"

   Just in time, Zhang Ganzi was wearing work clothes and went to work on the pig farm in good spirits. He was caught by Zhang Dashuai and asked solemnly: "Ganzi, I heard that you lost your way last night?"

   Zhang Ganzi was still baffled: "How can I get lost? In a place as big as our village, I won't get lost with my eyes closed."

   After finishing speaking, he went straight to the pig farm. After being nourished by love, Zhang Ganzi became more motivated.

  Behind him, came the laughter of Dashuai Zhang and the others.

  The story of getting lost quickly spread in Jiapigou...
