Return To 1977 Chapter 845: Night of Flowers and Candles
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Undoubtedly, the most interesting place on this night was Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing's new house.
So the final shot still has to come back here.
At ten o'clock in the evening, not only Chen Liquan, who has to go to work tomorrow, went to bed early, but almost all the houses in the west courtyard also turned off their lights.
Only the lights in Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing's huts were still on, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
This was the pattern of life back then.
Not only do everyone have to go to bed early and get up early, even if they stay late to watch TV, there will be no programs until after 11 o'clock at most.
And everyone is used to turning off the lights and watching in the dark.
No one realizes how much damage this will do to the eyes. People only know that it can save electricity bills.
As for the newlyweds' room, Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing had already packed their luggage.
The air tickets that Yang Weifan helped buy and the marriage certificates of the two people were also placed in the bag.
But another inevitable element is underway.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not time to be intimate yet.
The two of them were just looking at the accounts and counting the money.
When Hong Yanwu was drunk and asleep in the afternoon, Shui Qingshou was there with nothing to do, so he took the opportunity to do the accounting of the marriage.
Whether it is expenditures, gifts, or gifts, everything is clear. Now it is natural to show off your work achievements.
Of course, this is not Shuiqing's greed for money.
The purpose of calculating this detailed account is actually for future reference by others as gifts.
What if you don’t write it down? When the time comes for someone else's business to be done, it's time to return it. What do you use as reference?
Actually, this is not an account of money, but an account of favors.
As for the actual financial situation of the entire marriage, it was far better than Shui Qing expected.
Because they didn’t spend much money on decorating the house for their wedding, Hong Yanwu, Shui Qing and Chen Liquan did everything themselves.
How much is that material worth? The only real money spent is on the imported lamps and curtains purchased at Youyi Store.
What about the furniture? Except for a dressing table, everything else was given away by my eldest brother for free, and I only bought a color TV set for electrical appliances.
All of the above together only cost 2,400 yuan.
In addition, since the wedding was held in the factory cafeteria.
With Master Pang's careful attention, a banquet with six cold drinks, eight hot drinks and one soup was priced at twelve yuan.
Soft drinks and ice cream after meals are also priced at ex-factory prices.
In addition to the liquor, beer, cigarettes, candies, and dried fruits for each table, the maximum amount is 20 yuan per table.
Only taxis are more expensive, with the total cost of six cars being over 200.
Add in the money for making clothes, taking photos, as well as return gifts and odds and ends, the cost of the wedding is 1,100 yuan.
So after returning to Baodu'er, except for the things that the Hong family gave away during the engagement, their total expenditure on the wedding was actually 3,500 yuan. There was really nothing too wasteful.
Although according to the prevailing social standards at this time, this cost is already relatively large.
Most neighbors and colleagues don’t contribute much.
It's just a piece or two, or a kettle or pots and pans.
Shui Qing's own savings were only five hundred, and Aunt Shui took the initiative to add another five hundred to make up the one thousand.
If you really calculate it like this, you will undoubtedly lose money.
But the key is that the relatives of the Hong family give a lot.
Guanghong's parents gave him five thousand, and his two elder brothers also gave him one thousand.
Add in one thousand yuan from Yuntai, one thousand yuan from Shou Jingfang, and one thousand yuan from the Chang family, and that’s a total of ten thousand yuan.
With this money, no matter how big a hole is, you can be rich and abundant.
Secondly, Hong Yanwu’s men are also wealthy.
These brothers who came to drink "Ba Zi" wedding wine, even though Hong Yanwu forced them to do so, each of them paid a maximum of 100 yuan as a gift.
But there are so many of them, one hundred and eighty people, how many are they?
So the final figure from the water calculation is that there is still a surplus of more than 15,000 after expenses.
She never imagined that after getting married, she would end up with a household worth ten thousand and a half thousand yuan.
And this was actually the reason why Shui Qing urgently reported the debt to Hong Yanwu.
The amount of money was really too much. She really didn't know how to keep the money, and she didn't know if she could repay these favors.
But what she never expected was that Hong Yanwu's attitude was not only indifferent, but also revealed a piece of news, which shocked her again.
That's not all.
Those buddies and friends who were close to Hong Yanwu all gave gifts directly to Hong Yanwu, and no one was given less. The number was even more frightening.
For example, Zhaoqing personally gave 800, and also gave 800 on behalf of Secretary An.
Yang Weifan, the Song family, and "Xiaobaizi" all gave one thousand.
"Shunzi", "Naughty", "Sanbengzi", "Chopper", and "Ciermei" each gave two thousand.
The "little daughter-in-law" couple gave 5,000, and the "general" and "Sanjizi" gave 10,000 on behalf of all "Hai Pengzi".
Even Angelo gave back six hundred.
So we have to add this 30,200 to be the full gift.
Hey guys, this was a huge sum of money in 1983.
Where is this marriage? It was as if he was running wildly on the road of scattering money in the sky with a big basin on his head.
How could Shui Qing not be frightened when Hong Yanwu said this?
Her mind was completely at a loss.
"How come you... why did you just accept so much money? What... what should I do?"
"What should I do? Cold salad."
Hong Yanwu smiled immediately when he saw Shui Qing's confused look.
I said something stupid first, and then explained.
"Friends come from far and near, and great people also understand the meaning of compliments. This is why we give money to those who are close to us and have the financial ability. In fact, it is no different from others' gifts. You don't have to worry, Don't think too much."
But Shuiqing is so receptive?
She thought for a while and then said, "Isn't it right? I remember that my uncle's home is not in a rural area? Why did my uncle give me so much and my cousin gave me so much? And your brothers, they all gave tens of thousands. This What am I thinking? There is no one in the world who is so polite..."
Of course Hong Yanwu has words.
"Hey, I can't explain it to you in one sentence. Let me tell you this. My cousins used to be poor, but after the village set up factories, their lives were better than those in the city. I can't do it. Fortunately, this year the whole village will be able to have households worth 10,000 yuan, and it was my idea to set up the factory. My cousin and Secretary An actually thanked me on behalf of the whole village, so is this money enough?”
"Other people are doing the same, and they are all living a good life. Yang Weifan and 'General' are both close friends with me. When they get married, I will give them a big head. And 'Xiaobaizi', 'Little Wife' Er', 'San Bo Zi', and 'Chop Knife' are all enjoying their good lives now because of my guidance. So this is called finger-rolled pancakes. In fact, we eat them ourselves. Don't worry, they are definitely capable of this. I will definitely not make a fool of myself and be generous for ten years.”
He paused and then said, "I asked Quanzi to help collect this money first. When we come back later, he will give it to you. Along with the fifteen thousand, you can just accept it with peace of mind. From now on, the money will be yours to control."
But it was better not to say this. After saying this, Shui Qing's relieved expression turned into panic again.
"This...how can this work? You want me to take care of so much money? No, no, it's better for you to hold this money. Don't you still have to do serious things outside? There are many places to use money..."
Of course Hong Yanwu was happy again and continued to be poor.
"Okay, let's talk about it. Let me be honest. I know money can bite my hand, but I already have too much money in my hand. It's more than enough to do anything. I can't even spend it. Don't you just It’s so unsatisfying to bear to let me be bitten by money alone...”
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing didn't feel "cold" by the ridicule at all. Instead, he looked a little surprised and remained silent.
Seeing that she was a little annoyed, Hong Yanwu quickly changed his tone.
"Okay, okay, no more kidding. What I mean is that the male is responsible for the outside and the female is responsible for the internal affairs. From now on, I will be busy with outside affairs, and I will be responsible for continuing to make money. Who is in charge of the affairs at home? No. It’s up to you.”
"To be honest, holding this money is actually something you have to worry about. Your husband's family, your mother-in-law's family, and your parents' family have to rely on this money to pay for gifts and gifts during festivals and major events. You want me to take care of it. , I would be bored to death just because of the interest. If all my energy is involved in these things, do I have the energy to do anything else? ”
"To put it bluntly, I am a careless person. If one day I lose all my money outside, I will not be able to earn extra money. Or I offend the leader and get fired. Then we are a family of three. What can I do if I leave this money to you? I won’t have any worries anymore, because no matter how difficult it is, I will never touch this money. This is to give our family a way out. Insurance. ”
Hong Yanwu said these last words purely to deceive Shui Qing, but they did work.
When Shui Qing heard this, he thought it was the same. There was no chance of thunder and rain in that area of the clouds, so he really had to plan for the long term.
So although I still felt that the money was too high, I did not refuse it again.
On the contrary, he said it seriously, as if he had some important mission.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the money. I will never let you worry about family affairs. If it is like what you said, one day, I will not have any problems with our family's life. ."
And her serious attitude and quiet and dignified expression, for some reason, made Hong Yanwu's hidden smile disappear.
Instead, there is a kind of appreciation and touching from the bottom of my heart, as well as the joy and happiness that makes people feel at ease.
So he couldn't help but took Shui Qing's hand and held her in his arms.
Needless to say, on this special day, at such a special time, what kind of hint does this kind of intimacy represent?
When Hong Yanwu kissed her, Shui Qing was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. Her heart was pounding so hard that she almost melted.
Immediately realize that the most important moment is coming.
But after all, real life is different from the romantic scenes on TV and movies.
The two of them were very excited, but they couldn't just fall down on the bed and start talking nonsense.
Then you still have to wash up.
After being intimate for a while, Shui Qing gently pushed Hong Yanwu away.
Very politely, "Wait a minute. There is no hot water in the house. I have to get the kettle from the outhouse."
Then he lowered his head and opened the door and went out.
She came back after a while, but she didn't expect that Hong Yanwuquan had already made the bed in a hurry.
And he stood in front of the bed and looked at her with a smile.
He actually said, "This bed is really good. My elder brother is very good at it. I just tried it and there was no sound at all..."
How can a girl like Shui Qing endure this?
At that moment, my face was flushed and I was so flustered that I really had the urge to turn around and run away.
But what about this situation?
That is my husband, no matter how blatantly he acts a hooligan, it is legal.
She could only lower her head in fear.
"Then...then I'll pour you some water, and you wash first..."
Unexpectedly, the more she acted like this, the more delicate and charming she looked, and the more tantalizing she became, making Hong Yanwu feel like a cat in his heart.
He was so lustful that he was addicted to teasing.
He picked up Shui Qing and put her on the bed. He held it in and insisted on washing her feet.
How could this Shui Qing be willing to let him do such nonsense?
This is completely beyond the tolerance level.
Exclaimed in surprise and resisted instinctively.
So the two of them got into a fight.
More on, something far more exciting than the wedding ceremony will come.
Qing Qing Shui Qing was gradually exhausted, and she watched Hong Yanwu take off her high heels and pull her socks off.
In desperation, he picked up the new spittoon beside the bed and flicked it against his head.
Who would have thought that with just one click, the new spittoon would snap to the bottom and put Hong Yanwu's head in with a "squeak" sound!
The tall spittoon with a red spray painting with the Chinese characters "Double Happiness" with a bell mouth and a big belly is a "artwork" of a special era, and it is also a congratulatory gift from others.
Putting it on Hong Yanwu's head, it resembles the ancient emperor's flat crown, which is simply too unique.
Deserve it or not?
Deserve it!
Funny or not?
Funny!
Are you making trouble? Make a fuss!
So Shui Qing was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he laughed uncontrollably.
In order to avoid being overheard, she covered her mouth so hard that her stomach hurt.
But with such evil nature, even though it was easy for Hong Yanwu to put his head in, it was not so easy when he wanted to get his head out of this "hat" that Ding Kemao was wearing.
Because the various organs on the human face have long edges facing down to prevent water retention when it rains, and his nose is pointing up.
Hong Yanwu took it off twice and didn't get it out. The screws and nuts fit perfectly.
He could only cry for help from the spittoon.
So when Shui Qing heard the muffled voice in the spittoon, she no longer cared about laughing.
I started to worry that something might happen to him, so I hurried over to help.
But no matter how they pulled, pulled, stretched or pulled out, the spittoon seemed to be growing on Hong Yanwu's head, completely motionless!
You must know that Shui Qing is a woman and does not have much strength to begin with, and she is afraid of Hong Yanwu's pain.
After trying it a few times and seeing no results, I decided not to try it again.
I had no choice but to ask Hong Yanwu in the spittoon what to do next.
Although Hong Yanwu's eyes were darkened, he did not lose his intelligence. After pondering for a while, he actually came up with a trick.
He let out a muffled voice and asked Shui Qing to get the cream quickly, and then used his fingers to apply lubricant on his neck.
After finishing wiping, Hong Yanwu asked Shui Qing to lead him to the wall again, pressed the edge of the spittoon against the wall, and pushed it out with all his strength.
It really worked this time.
It's a pity, it's such bad luck.
Looking at the spittoon being pulled out bit by bit, it reached my nose but couldn't get through it anymore.
It’s just that little bit, no matter how hard you try, you can’t make room for this thing.
After struggling for a long time, Hong Yanwu became really annoyed and his temper completely exploded.
Regardless of such a pull, the result is that the impulse is the devil.
I exerted too much force, and my hand went bald with a bang!
The spittoon was tilted and hit the wardrobe directly.
The sound was so loud, like beating a gong, that the neighbors could definitely hear it.
Even Shui Qing was startled. You can imagine what it felt like to have Hong Yanwu with his head trapped in a spittoon, right?
The sky is falling apart!
At that time, I saw this boy holding the spittoon and turning his hat 360 degrees, and then he sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.
He also knocked over the clothes hanger, hit the water glass, and made another splash.
Then my legs began to tremble irregularly.
To put it bluntly, I was shocked.
Shui Qing was so frightened that he quickly got some cold water and sprinkled it on both sides of Hong Yanwu's neck, and then fanned the spittoon.
Then he cried and asked what to do? Do you want to ask someone to go?
Hong Yanwu finally regained his breath in the spittoon, smelling the aroma of the cream, feeling so aggrieved that he really wanted to cry.
Because don't forget, the spittoon has another name, it's called "urinal".
When word got out about this, someone arranged it and it became like "Xiao Wu got into his wife's urinal on their wedding day. He could get in but couldn't get out."
If word of this spreads, the shame that can never be washed away will accompany him for the rest of his life. Will he still survive?
Just at this moment, Chen Liquan's worried voice sounded outside the door.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, are you okay in the house?"
How to choose, face or life? What a dilemma!
