The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

May 2nd is the birthdays of Yu Conghui and Guan He.

In the past two months, Guo Yujie has been living a good life by herself. Her grandchildren always come over to have a meal on Sundays and usually come to talk with her. Of course, Yu Conghui has successively purchased a refrigerator and a washing machine at home. Things can be used frequently, and the clothes at home are no longer washed by hand. At first, Zhang Lian had a big conflict with her mother-in-law, and although she coveted them, she didn't dare to come to her house. So during this period, she occasionally sent clothes over for washing. .

Of course, not everyone in the village has a refrigerator, and some villagers will bring chicken, duck, fish, etc. to them when they buy it. However, most of the time the refrigerator is full. There are three freezer cabinets. Guo Yujie keeps one for herself and the other two. They all belong to other people's homes. Anyway, she doesn't save many things by herself, so the empty ones are empty. Most of them are relatives. She has a soft personality and doesn't care about this.

A week before the wedding, Yu Conghui came back from the city. At this time, Yu Conghui had slowly put a room full of dowries, complete sets of tables, chairs and benches, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc. in the room in her hometown. Wait, there are also bright red, pink, and peach beddings piled on the fire bed, all of which she will take away on her wedding day.

Many relatives of the same family in the village were constantly coming in and out of the house during this period. When they came, they looked at the dowry prepared by Yu Conghui and gave her the money to add to the box. They didn't give much. This is the custom in the village. For one hundred and eighty yuan, my direct relatives will give more. My aunt and uncle's family will give me eight hundred or one thousand and two hundred yuan. My brothers and sisters-in-law will give a little less. After all, there are children in the family. Three to two hundred yuan. That's enough.

Guo Yujie will carefully write down these numbers. When their children get married, they will have to pay them back. Of course, according to social development and economic conditions, some more will be added to this number.

Yu Conghui bought two pairs of new wedding shoes in the city, a pair of silver ones to wear when wearing the wedding dress, and a pair of red shoes to wear when toasting.

What she liked the most was the red cheongsam that Xu Ning gave her. She took it home and tried it on, and the size was just right. From that day on, Yu Conghui didn't dare to open her belly to eat, so she couldn't wear it on her wedding day. Cheongsam is very revealing.

At noon that day, she and her mother were eating on the heated kang at home, when Yu Conghui's cell phone rang, and it was the sound of a text message.

She grabbed it, glanced at it, and then held it up in front of Guo Yujie, "It's the extra box of money that cousin Xu Ning and cousin Xu Rui gave me."

Guo Yujie glanced at it and said in shock: "So much? Eight thousand and eight. When his children get married, our family will get at least nine thousand."

Yu Conghui pursed her lips and smiled: "What's eight thousand eighty? It's eighty-eight thousand. You missed one zero."

This is the bank account information. It is impossible for the red envelope to be mailed from there. At that time, Xu Ning asked her for a bank account number. She originally thought it would only be a few thousand yuan, but unexpectedly the two of them gave her a total of 170,000 yuan. many.

When Guo Yujie heard this, she was dumbfounded, and then became anxious.

"How about this? It's too much. Please tell me quickly. You can't ask for so much."

"Don't worry, it's my cousin's wish. Besides, this is my wedding. I will repay Yangyang and theirs when they get married in the future." Will you return the extra box of money to your cousin? Is this true? This is not stuffed into me in ordinary days, my mother is also confused.

Guo Yujie probably reacted quickly, and she was also a little embarrassed. She knew that the money for adding a box to a girl was really not refundable. The money to add a box to a girl is to bring blessings. When you give money to others, it is to give money to the newlyweds. When the good fortune of that day was revealed, Guo Yujie was really frightened by this number, so she panicked and said the wrong thing.

"Xiaohui, don't touch this money. Keep it in your card. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Mom. My monthly salary is quite good. Once I smile, it's my year's salary. Don't worry, I won't be able to pay it back in the future." Yu Conghui comforted her.

Guo Yujie could never let go of her heart, but she had no choice. There was no way to withdraw it. She could only keep it in the bank and pay it back after the Xu family's children got married.

But before the mother and daughter could finish speaking, the sound of a text message came from the phone again.

Yu Conghui took a look and saw that there were another eighty-eight thousand and sixty-six thousand, which meant that the Xu family had given her more than three hundred thousand in total, which was enough to buy a full house in Mo City.

After reading it, she dialed Xu Ning's number directly. After all, she only had Xu Ning's number.

"Sister Xu Ning, why are there four copies?"

Over there, Xu Ning was also eating in the company restaurant. When he heard Yu Conghui's words, he smiled and said, "Xu Rui and I have one portion, and your brother-in-law and aunt have one portion, totaling four portions, and then there's no more."

"It's not that I don't like it too little, but it's too much." She likes money, and she was envious of the Xu family's wealth at first, and even thought that the Xu family could suddenly give her a large amount of money. But now that they actually gave it to her, she suddenly felt a little bit... Uneasy and unsure.

Of course, there was a surprise, but this surprise was so unexpected that she always felt like she was dreaming unless she checked it.

Although Yu Conghui's salary in the past two or three years has increased to at least 10,000 yuan due to her own ability, and sometimes she can even get 20,000 yuan, Yu Conghui spends a lot of money, and she can save only 10,000 yuan a month. It's very good. Sometimes she can save a few thousand yuan this month just by having fun with her friends. Therefore, she has never received so much money in her bank card all at once. Now she suddenly feels like a rich woman.

Thinking that money in a bank card will only depreciate in value, it is better to invest the money in real estate after getting married, buy two houses and put them there. The house prices will definitely appreciate in the future. As for the monthly loan, you can rent the house Go out and pay part of it.

"You're getting married in a few days, and your family won't be able to go. You know, I have to go out with your brother-in-law to socialize. Xu Rui is used to working in a company and has almost no free time during the holidays. But he didn't say hell, I got it. Please send your invitation to see if it is very busy when the time comes. Your brother-in-law and aunt will not be able to leave. After all, your aunt is too old and there are many people in the family. Anyway, I wish you a happy wedding in advance and add this gift to you. Don’t be burdened. You are sensible and have your own opinions and sense of proportion. My sister has a good impression of you and will live a good life with Guan He in the future."

After hearing this, Yu Conghui was very excited and moved. Her eyes turned red and she said, "I know, thank you Sister Xu Ning!"

"You're welcome, is there anything else?"

"No, thank you! After we get married, Guan He and I will go back to see my aunt and you."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, looking at her mother's surprised eyes, Yu Conghui simply said to her. When Guo Yujie heard that the Xu family had given their daughter an extra box of more than 300,000 yuan, she almost died from exhaustion and didn't even want to eat.

Is this too much?

More than three hundred thousand, but she had never seen so much money in her life.

As for how the money is used, she can't interfere. These people from the Xu family have directly transferred it to her daughter's bank card. She is not going to touch it. No matter where the money is placed, Guo Yujie will have trouble sleeping and eating. Let your daughter hold it by herself.

Seeing her mother's attitude, Yu Conghui smiled and said, "I'll keep this money for use. You can keep the money for adding money to the box at home, so you don't have to give it to me."

"How about this? Mom's family is not short of money, so you can take it all with you."

"If you are asked to keep it, you can keep it. My monthly salary for the company is more than this. You can keep it to buy some food and drink at home, buy some clothes and so on. I am not short of that."

Her daughter has said so, so she can’t persuade her to keep it. Anyway, she has received so much money from there, and she can’t spend a lot of it. She will clean up the yard and exterior walls after spring. After a while, I planted some leeks, spinach, onions, garlic, etc., and now they are growing very well. Every household in the village is like this, and they don’t have to worry about eating vegetables all year round.

In the blink of an eye, May 2nd is here.

Before dawn, Guo Yujie got up and went to her daughter's room, turned on the light, and called her out.

Yu Conghui's eyes were blurry, "Mom, what time is it."

"At half past four, get up early. Mom has boiled hot water for you. Isn't the person who will put on your makeup coming soon?"

"Yeah!" She stood up in her pajamas with her brain foggy. In this season, it was still very cold in thin pajamas.

Wearing slippers, I carried the big wooden barrel from home with my mother, mixed the hot and cold water, and then sat in to take a bath.

Guo Yujie was helping her rub her back from behind. It was inconvenient to take a bath this week since she came home. Yu Conghui only washed her hair and never took a bath. However, she usually loves to be clean. She didn't wash for a week, but her body was still very clean.

Thinking that today her daughter is someone else's daughter-in-law, Guo Yujie felt very uncomfortable, but she was also happy. At least her son-in-law looked very satisfied.

Half an hour later, the room was tidied up. She dried her hair with the hair dryer she brought. Then she tidied up the room briefly, drank a bowl of porridge, and put on makeup for at least two or three hours. After that, she sat down In her room, she talked with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village. The wedding reception would be around nine o'clock, and she would arrive at the hotel in the city before noon.

According to the rules of their Guozhuang, when newlyweds get married, they usually hold a running-water banquet in the village, mostly at night.

But most of the wedding banquets in Mocheng start on time at 12 noon. It doesn't matter if you go late. This is an auspicious time and cannot be missed.

At half past five, there was the sound of a car engine outside, and then the old lady came in with her two daughters-in-law, followed by a makeup artist and a photographer.

The house suddenly became lively.

The boss of the wedding company is a college classmate of Guan He. The female boss runs a very good business. It is not the best in Mocheng, but it is also second-class. It can be regarded as a mid-range wedding company. The scale and financial resources of their high-end company are also Can't hold it up.

For example, when Xu Ning and Xu Rui got married, the wedding companies they hired were all top-notch, and ordinary ones couldn't meet their requirements. That is, the wedding venue must be decorated with fresh bouquets. Even if they pay you a deposit, you I don’t have that strong network to purchase abroad.

The makeup artist went to Yu Conghui's room and started working. She also brought a snow-white wedding dress. The wedding dress was from the photo studio affiliated with the wedding company. With their status, they didn't have the financial resources to make a new one alone. After all, It's only worn once, and the photo studio regularly purchases new wedding dresses. This wedding dress is because of Guanhe. The boss there introduced a new style, and Yu Conghui was the first bride to wear it.

Seeing that there was no one at home, the old lady asked Guo Yujie, "Zhang Lian and the others are not here?"

"I'm making dumplings at home." Guo Yujie said with a smile.

Not to mention what she had with this daughter-in-law before, on a day like today, she must be calm and orderly. Otherwise, if there is a commotion today, Yu Minghui may really divorce Zhang Lian. She still has this sense of propriety.

After hearing this, the old lady nodded.

"Are the fresh fruits ready?" When the groom comes to pick up the bride, he has to bite apples and candy cubes. These are the wedding fun passed down by Guozhuang's ancestors, and they are all measured.

“I bought it and I won’t forget these!”

As time goes by, there are more and more people in the family. There will definitely be no room for the three small houses, and the yard is also full of stains.

Although there was still a hint of coolness in the early morning air, today was a happy day. As there were more people there, it naturally became lively, and they didn't feel cold at all.

Around eight o'clock, Yu Conghui's makeup was done and the wedding dress was put on.

Several sisters-in-law came in and when they saw today's bride, they all praised her beauty.

This wedding dress was still very conservative, but even so, it exposed her snow-white arms and looming breasts. When she went to the photo studio to take wedding photos, Yu Conghui took a fancy to a backless wedding dress, but Guan He didn't agree.

At this time, she was wearing a wedding dress, sitting on the kang covered with red towels and quilts, talking to her sisters-in-law in the house. Several children were also looking at Yu Conghui outside the house.

Yu Conghui is the first girl in the village to marry such a good girl. Everyone in the village likes her personality. She has a flexible tongue and smiles when meeting people. Elders and children all treat this girl well. In addition, She is not bad looking. In fact, there are many young men of the same age in the village who like her. However, despite being smart and capable, a girl who did not pass into high school and went to a technical school can achieve her current results. Awesome.

There was a hoo-ho sound from outside, and then four or five ladies came in each carrying sorghum poles and bamboo lids with delicate and small dumplings on them.

"At first glance, these are the dumplings made by Liangzi's wife." The Yu family's aunt said with a smile.

The dumplings are all almost the same size, and they are all nestled on the lid with their belly pointed out. They are arranged neatly, not to mention how beautiful they are.

Liangzi's wife is the eldest daughter-in-law of my old aunt's family, and she is also a well-known filial daughter-in-law in the village. My old aunt is a lucky woman. Although the two daughters-in-law she found are not necessarily good-looking, they are all good-hearted and filial to the elderly.

"Auntie, when will the groom come over?" my aunt's daughter-in-law asked with a smile.

"Come on, we'll be here around eight-thirty. We have to leave at nine o'clock, otherwise we won't be able to get back to the party in time."
