On August 23, when Hong Yanwu went to Longkou Village to pick up his family with the medicine prepared by Shou Jingfang, Zhaoqing's wedding date had been completely set, which was September 10.

This day was chosen not only because someone had calculated it, but also because the solar and lunar calendars on that day were both even numbers, and it happened to be Sunday the next day, which was very convenient for the Hong family’s relatives in the city.

They will only need to take one more day off then. I came here in the afternoon the day before the wedding and rushed back in the morning the day after the wedding. This way you are not tired and can participate in the whole process.

Only the day is so close, it seems a bit tight, but it is not the case.

Because weddings in rural areas these days are quite simple, and the important content is only in that meal. As long as you have pigs, money, and food stamps, go to the town and hire a few masters to ensure that everything can be done properly.

What's more, the Hong family bought a lot of household items during this visit to relatives. The new house decorated with pots, pans, and household items was the first in the entire Longkou Village.

As for the woman, she is even more prepared. Xiaoqin's parents have been thinking about their daughter's marriage for a long time.

Last year, we collected the wood and had someone punch out the bed boxes, kang table, square table, stools, and wardrobe. The bedding was also sewn into two bunks and two covers. Having these as a dowry is enough to make other families envious.

To say that what is really lacking right now is that the bride and groom are short of new clothes, is a bit of a fly in the ointment.

So Hong Yanwu suggested that Zhaoqing, Xiaoqin, and An Yangyang go back to the capital with them.

He said that this way, the two newlyweds can not only go to the mall to buy new clothes, but also take wedding photos. With An Yangyang accompanying her as her natal brother, no one was gossiping. At the same time, An Yangyang can also recognize the door, so it will be easier to deliver eggs in the future.

Every aspect was carefully considered, and the matter was settled in this way in the end.

It was already the afternoon when everyone returned to the capital.

Three young people from the countryside had nothing to do and were very restrained in their stay at the Hong family. Accustomed to wide spaces and free fields, they felt uncomfortable staying in a small house for a long time.

Especially for Xiaoqin and An Yangyang, who were visiting the capital for the first time. Although the noodles with soybean paste were very appetizing, and although the Hong family's hospitality was warm, they still felt a little awkward about where to put themselves.

I always feel like I'm in trouble no matter where I am. If you move slowly, you'll bump into something or someone.

It’s impossible to go out. I don’t know anyone, and there are still unrecognizable alleys everywhere. They are always gray bricks and blue tiles, which makes people dizzy.

An Yangyang said to Xiaoqin privately, "No wonder Zhaoqing doesn't like to come to the capital. I also think the countryside is better. There are many people and cars here, and the walkways are not pleasant. It's very frustrating."

Xiao Qin was naturally afraid that people would hear her, so she quickly stopped her. "Brother Ritou, you... don't talk nonsense. It's not good for others to hear you."

An Yangyang curled his lips and expressed disapproval.

On the 24th, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan still did not go to work, and took the initiative to accompany the newlyweds and An Yangyang out to run errands.

They first went to the department store to buy clothes, leather shoes, and a new pair of pants for An Yangyang. Then they went to Zhang Binggui to grab ten pounds of wedding candies. Only then did Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin find a place to change into new clothes and go to the nearby Huaxia Photo Studio, which had served many national leaders, to take wedding photos.

Then they didn’t go back directly. They had a meal outside first. We then went to see Tiananmen Square and visited the Forbidden City. After a full day of fun, we headed back home.

When I came back that night, An Yangyang's attitude changed somewhat.

Firstly, because as a rural youth, it was the first time for him to wear such high-end pants, and he touched them lovingly. In addition, he saw Tiananmen and went to the Golden Palace today. He felt that he had gained knowledge and broadened his horizons. This is not a blessing that everyone in the village can have.

He quietly said to Xiaoqin, "There are still good places in the city. Although the place is a bit cramped, there is plenty to eat and some to play. If nothing happens, it would be a shame to live there. Even if it’s half moon, I heard that there are Beihai and the Summer Palace in the capital. If you can see them all, you won’t lose money in your life..."

Xiao Qin finally couldn't help but tell him.

"Don't be so heartless all the time. When you go to the city, you have to understand the rules of the city people. They are good enough to us, and you don't know if you are satisfied or not? You know how much it cost to buy these things. How much did it cost? How much food stamps and meat stamps did they spend to entertain us? People in the city don't live on rice and noodles. Also, no one took two pieces of the big bowl of braised pork. If you eat it alone, you are not afraid of making these relatives laugh..."

An Yangyang is stubborn.

"I just love eating meat, and I can stay as long as I feel comfortable. As you said, since we are all relatives, how can they not tolerate it? Besides, if they come to my house again later, I will treat them the same way. Huh, don’t think I don’t know anything. If I have money, I can live better than anyone else. From now on, I will live in the countryside and go to the city to play around. , that is the best life!”

Don't tell me, the truth often just blurts out inadvertently.

Coincidentally, Hong Yanwu of the Chen family in the West Courtyard also had the same opinion.

He specifically had an in-depth discussion with Zhaoqing alone and analyzed his predictions for future policies in more detail.

This is both to encourage Zhaoqing and to remind Zhaoqing. Rural areas will not remain poor forever, and the family status problem will soon be shaken off. There will be many things that can be done in the future. Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin will definitely not be worse off than any other city dwellers, and they will even be happier.

At the same time, what surprised Zhaoqing even more was that Hong Yanwu not only gave him the "Haiyan" semiconductor radio in the house. He also gave him two thousand yuan to accept.

What Hong Yanwu meant was that with the radio, Zhaoqing could know what was happening in the outside world at any time and verify whether what he said was true. Of the two thousand yuan, one thousand yuan was a gift from him to Zhaoqing, and one thousand yuan was specially used to honor his uncle.

For Zhaoqing, he had never seen such a huge wealth before, so he was naturally shocked.

Hong Yanwu didn't hide it from him. He said that he had been messing around with things in private, even more than he was doing with eggs. So this is the only way the money can be given to him. Otherwise, if you take it out openly, the elders will not understand it.

But even so, Zhaoqing still felt that the money was too much. He is only willing to accept semiconductors and refuses to take any money at all.

Hong Yanwu had no choice but to change his explanation.

"Brother Zhaoqing, we don't have to be polite. If you really feel sorry for yourself, this money will be considered as our cooperative business. I mentioned it to my uncle, hoping that he can help me pay attention to collecting antiques in the village. I want you to come Graves have been leveled in several villages there, and a lot of good things have come out. It's just that it's not easy for my uncle to talk to me about money, and it's not convenient for me to give him money openly. If I really have a chance to see ancient things in the future, no matter what. You just use the money to buy it. You don't have to send it here, just deposit it at your place. If you want money, I'll give you one thousand yuan. Thousands of honorariums..."

"Do you really want to buy those things? Spend so much money...?"

Zhaoqing really couldn't believe it, and was really worried for him.

"Xiao Wu, it's easy for us to talk to each other. It's right for me to help you without taking a penny. But I have to say, those pots and bowls were valuable in the past, but now no one Admit it. If you want to make a profit from this, it will be too difficult to resell it..."

Hong Yanwu smiled after hearing this, and he had his own reasons.

"Brother Zhaoqing, hasn't my uncle told you this sentence, 'gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times'? To put it bluntly, these things are not a small business of food and clothing. It has to be small profits but quick turnover, fast in and fast out. . This is a big deal that lasts only three years after opening. It is normal to keep it for ten or twenty years. You have to follow the market and find a knowledgeable dealer. It’s it, and so are tens of millions.”

"In addition, you should also understand the principle of 'things are rare and valuable' and 'buy low and sell high'. There are a lot of antiques in the world, and they will become less and less. Low prices are a good thing, this It's a good time to stock up on goods. To put it bluntly, once the price goes up, you won't have to rush to buy it. In fact, there is a joke that best describes it - "If you don't care about it today, he will." You won't be able to afford it. Just help me collect it. If the money is not enough, just say something and I will give it to you again."

"Having said that, I am talking about antiques, but I am also talking about you. To be honest, among all the people, why do I support you the most in staying in the countryside? That is because I feel that life and making money are the same. Opportunities will always exist, and there will never be only one answer to a question. The important thing is that we must have foresight and be prepared in advance to seize it when the time comes. Opportunities, face them in the right way...

Although Hong Yanwu's words were not fully believed and accepted by Zhaoqing for a while, they undoubtedly opened a window in his heart.

And from this window, what he saw was far more than just that he could live a comfortable life. It is far more boring than living a life in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, with no worries about food, drink and endless clothing.

Because what he heard today is like what Hong Yanwu said, then it means that there is really a vast world in front of him, and there is a lot to do.

Even in the future, it is entirely possible for him to change the current situation of the entire Longkou Village and make the villagers live a better life.

But the key is that Hong Yanwu's prophetic judgments on policy can be confirmed one by one, and when the time comes, someone in the village must listen to what he says.

Hope for the future, repaying fellow villagers, and the seeds of building a hometown were so quietly planted in Zhaoqing's heart.

The secretary position assigned to him by his father-in-law, Secretary An, at the brigade headquarters has become much more important invisibly.

From this moment on, Zhaoqing had a new plan in mind...
