Hello 1983

  Chapter 23 Do you want to kiss the old folks?

  Out of Principal Xu's house, Liu Qingshan immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Facing the famous Xu with a big beard, he felt a little stressed.

  But deep in his heart, it is more respect for this generation. Their dedication to career and selfless dedication are really respectable and lovely.

  By riding a bicycle with my grandfather on my back, I went back to Jiapigou with bumps and bumps all the way. It was almost dark.

  When Liu Qingshan told his mother the negotiated conditions, Lin Zhi finally showed a gratified smile on his face.

  Second sister Liu Yinfeng also said enviously: "Sanfenger, why don't I study with you at home, and you just teach me English."

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand and refused without hesitation.

   "Second Sister, you are different from me. It's better to be in school. You were just at the door, and now the tapes are all recorded. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be fine."

   "If other subjects can be further improved, maybe in the next year we can put a satellite first and be admitted to a famous university like Qingbei!"

   Speaking of this, Liu Qingshan even thought beautifully: If that's the case, Principal Xu doesn't have to stare at him with big eyes all the time, right?

  After listening to her younger brother's analysis, Liu Yinfeng pursed her lips, then flicked the two braids hanging on her chest behind her back: "Next year, I must be admitted to university!"

   "Second sister, I believe you!"

  Liu Qingshan also clenched his fists and cheered.

  Fourth child Liu Caifeng is not far behind: "Second sister, I also believe in you, shall we hook up?"

   One big and one small two little fingers, pulled together tightly.

  Seeing the resoluteness on the beautiful face of the second sister, and the smiling face of the younger brother, the corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth also began to curl up.

   "Oh, don't get in the way here, I still want to hang curtains!"

  The eldest sister Liu Jinfeng rushed into the house with a curtain pole.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help muttering: "Sister, are you so anxious to marry yourself?"

   Then, Liu Jinfeng drove him around the room like he was holding a Zhangba snake spear with a curtain pole in his hand.

  …

  As the wedding of Liu Jinfeng and Gao Wenxue approached day by day, the whole family was busy.

   Even said that the entire small mountain village of Jiapigou was busy with it.

  Usually in the village to marry a daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law, they usually rush to the winter leisure time.

  Firstly, after the autumn harvest, I have some spare money; secondly, everyone is at home during the winter, and people are relatively free.

   Like Liu Jinfeng, there are not many who choose to get married in summer.

   But this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm in the slightest. After all, the three shovels and three trips in Datian have been completed, and Mai Qiuer will have about half a month, which happens to be the slack time for farming.

  Early in the morning, after breakfast, the folks started to stroll to Lao Liu’s house.

  As the saying goes, weddings and ceremonies are not organized by one family, but by a village, and they must help out.

  Walking down the street, I heard a singing voice coming from a distance: "Your figure, your singing voice, will always be imprinted in my heart..."

  Everyone couldn't help but cheer up: this song is so beautiful.

   Zhang Ganzi, a lazy guy, also mixed in with the crowd. He wasn't active in his work, but mainly in organizing happy events, so he could eat and drink along with him.

  As soon as everyone was discussing singing, Zhang Ganzi suddenly got excited. He held his head up and said, "Hey, you don't know, the guy who sings this song is really good-looking, like a big star."

   "The name is also nice, what's the name, by the way, it's called Nicotine!"

   As he spoke, Zhang Ganzi slapped his thigh vigorously, looking serious.

  In the rural areas of this era, the news is blocked, and some things are unavoidable.

  However, there are still sensible people in the village, and someone immediately stood up and corrected Zhang Ganzi's nonsense.

   "Don't talk nonsense, Ganzi, his name is Li Guyi, he is a singer!"

  The person who spoke was amazing, his surname was Zhang and his name was Lu, and he was nicknamed "Da Zhang Luo".

  He has a pair of small eyes, thin lips, and can speak eloquently. If someone's family has a wedding or wedding, big or small, he will help out.

  Sometimes, talking is better than captain Zhang Guofu.

  At that time, basically every village had to have such sensible people.

  Since he is a sensible person, of course he knows a little more. To criticize a lazy guy like Zhang Ganzi can be said to be a slap in the face.

  I saw Da Zhang Luo’s small eyes glanced at Zhang Pole: “I’m returning nicotine, do you understand that nicotine is a harmful substance in cigarettes. Pole, I think you are stupid for smoking cigarettes, right?”

   Zhang Ganzi didn’t dare to argue with him. He is a great intellectual, so he can’t offend him. When the time comes, he will avenge his personal revenge and assign you a hard-working job. Who can he ask for reasoning?

   A group of people chatted and laughed, and entered Liu's house. I saw a brand new tape recorder on the windowsill.

  Everyone leaned in front of them to take a closer look. They looked at the magnetic head driving the magnetic tape in the tape case, turning it round and round, and they were all envious.

  Zhang Ganzi hugged his arms and yelled: "Oh my god, this thing is advanced, and I can turn around by myself. If I asked me to turn like this, I would have been confused."

  Da Zhang Luo is also willing to take a pole for fun: "This is called a tape recorder, which is more advanced than three turns and one sound. Three turns and one sound, do you know what it is?"

   "I don't know." Zhang Ganzi shook his head, almost shaking the big lice out of his hair.

  Da Zhangluo took advantage of the situation and began to show off with his fingers: "Bicycles, sewing machines and watches, these are three rotations, and the first sound is the radio. The tape recorder is more advanced than the radio. You can record what you say."

   While speaking, Lin Zhi came out of the room with a smile, followed by Liu Qingshan and Liu Jinfeng, each holding a plate in their hands.

  A plate contains loose sugar cubes, flower petal sugar **** and orange petal sugar. These fruit sugars are relatively solid.

   Another plate, containing cigarettes, was unpacked from the packs of cigarettes, so as not to be easily put in the pocket by someone.

   "Everyone is here, eat candy and smoke."

  Lin Zhi greeted warmly, the boss, if you are too stingy, you will be laughed at by the folks in the village.

   "Hey, it's still a big front door with a filter. This smoke is particular."

  Zhang Ganzi didn't know what it means to be polite, so he peeled off a candy ball and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a few cigarettes, one in each ear, and another in his mouth.

  Everyone cheerfully lit their cigarettes. Captain Zhang Guofu felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Ganzi's bear-like appearance, so he couldn't help kicking his ass: "Is it good to have something?"

   "I want to stick two more sticks in my nose, it's more enjoyable to smoke."

   Zhang Ganzi had a hippie smile on his face, and he didn't care at all.

After chatting for a while, Da Zhang Luo got to the point. He looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Liu family sister, what do you want to do with Jin Feng's marriage? Let's come up with a charter first, and then assign people. I will definitely give it to you." It was done in style.”

  Lin Zhi nodded with a smile, then pointed to Liu Qingshan: "In the future, Sanfeng will be the master of our family's affairs, you can discuss it."

   This time, it was a bit unexpected for everyone, because Lin Zhi said that, it was tantamount to announcing: Liu Qingshan is the head of the family.

  At that time, every household must have a shopkeeper who has the final say. There are many people in the family, and there are thousands of people in the family, and one person is in charge.

  However, Liu Qingshan, who is half a child, has just graduated from junior high school and is about to start a family, isn't he a little too young?

  Switched to someone else's child, at this age, he only knows how to be silly.

  Captain Zhang was still more enlightened. He refilled another cigarette and took a good puff: "Well, Qingshan was in the newspaper a few days ago, and he is a hundred times stronger than us big bosses."

  Because of this matter, the village has been discussing it for several days, but just now everyone was staring at Liu Qingshan's age and forgot that he still has such a glorious deed.

  Da Zhang Luo also gave a thumbs up: "Qingshan is promising, go to the provincial newspaper, the secretary of our commune, the county magistrate, let alone our village, haha..."

  On weekdays, Da Zhang Luo and Captain Zhang are a bit opposite. If there is a chance, the two will pinch each other.

  Seeing that conflicts were about to break out among the people, Liu Qingshan hurried forward to smooth things over: "Uncle Captain, Uncle Zhang Luo, I discussed with my grandfather and mother that when my sister gets married, there will be twenty tables of wedding wine."

   "How much, twenty tables?"

  Da Zhangluo was holding a sugar ball in his mouth, and swallowed it all at once with a grunt.

  Zhang Guofu was also choked by the smoke: "Ahem, Qingshan, we have a total of less than 200 people in Jiapigou, you are going to carry the whole village, cough..."

  Liu Qingshan went over to help him tap his back and said softly: "That's right, Uncle Captain, that's what I planned."

   "If it's like this, I will definitely have to pay."

  Captain Zhang managed to calm down, looked at Liu Qingshan, and shook his head vigorously: You have no hair on your mouth, and you can't do things well. I just praised you for nothing.

   And Da Zhang Luo, from a professional point of view, snapped his fingers and began to settle the accounts with Liu Qingshan:

   "This table of banquets, tobacco, wine, sugar, tea and meals cost about ten yuan, and twenty tables cost at least two hundred yuan."

   "In Jiapigou, there are twenty-five households in total. For those who are gifted, there are one yuan, two yuan, and better ones, which can be accompanied by three yuan. The highest one is five yuan."

   "The population of each family is still large, five or six people are considered small, and two yuan can feed a large family. If you can't get a hundred yuan for gifts, how much do you have to pay?"

  Da Zhang Luo is right. These days, even though you don’t expect to make money when you arrange a marriage, you can’t post it backwards. No one is rich.

  Of course, Liu Qingshan had already settled this account, and after Da Zhang Luo finished speaking with grief, he said cheerfully:

   "Uncle Captain, Uncle Zhang Luo, and all the uncles, what I mean is to use my elder sister's wedding wine to thank the folks. They have taken good care of my family for so many years."

   Speaking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help getting a little excited: "My family has been in Jiapigou for more than ten years. At that time, my father's status was not good, and the villagers were kind and didn't treat my family differently."

   "When my father died, everyone helped to distribute it. I didn't smoke a cigarette or drink a sip of wine."

   "The children of my family have never been treated as puppies in our Jiapigou, and no one has ever bullied them."

   "When my family ran out of food, it was the captain's uncle who secretly called Grandpa Kidnap and brought half a sack of cornmeal. It was life-saving food. Our family of orphans and widows did not starve to death."

   "That year my mother suffered from appendicitis, and she was writhing in pain. It was Uncle Zhang Luo and the boss who drove the production team's carriage overnight and sent my mother to the big hospital in the county."

   "When the land was distributed last year, it was the secretary's grandfather who exchanged his family's first-class land for my family's second-class land."

  …

  Liu Qingshan became more and more excited as he talked, and tears couldn't help but flow down: "My family remembers each and every one of these things. I really remember it. I will never forget the kindness of the big guy in my life!"
