Chapter 699: One Wedding After Another

Feng Jiachong was very lively again today. At noon, accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, four cars and two trucks with happy characters on them drove in.

The first car was a Mercedes-Benz, which was naturally one of the ten cars for the Jiasheng wedding. A young man who worked in a cabinet factory in the town was wearing a blue suit and a red tie, with a red flower on his chest. Dressing up, the girl in the red wedding dress was pulled out of the car.

Today is their big day.

Although it's only February and a half in the lunar calendar, today's wedding is Feng Jiachong's third wedding this year.

It seemed that all of a sudden, those single boys in Feng Jiachong became very popular all of a sudden, relatives, relatives of relatives, friends of friends... In short, as long as they can get in touch with Feng Jiachong, they should either come to inquire in person or ask acquaintances For one purpose, to find a suitable young man in Feng Jiachong as his son-in-law.

It can't be said that they have this plan because they have the mentality of taking advantage of it. The main reason is that their daughter can live a good life after she gets married. Of course, if the daughter can live a good life while helping her mother's family, then naturally It's good.

As for the ten miles and eight villages in the left and right, Feng Jiachong's life must be one of the best, and it seems that it will get better and better - since they visited Feng Jiachong, they knew it.

In just a few years, Feng Jiachong's changes have been subversive. After driving over the hill, you can see a completely different scene from other villages.

Although there are still some people living in old houses with mud bricks and tiles, most of them have already lived in chic two-to-three-story small buildings. Those small buildings are not only beautiful, but also comfortable to live in, and very practical.

Moreover, those small buildings that have been built are not like other villages. One building in the east and one building in the west have obviously been planned. up tree.

On the road, although there are flocks of chickens looking for food, puppies running with their tails up, and big cattle being driven by people jumping on their loads, there are also trucks, cars and motorcycles passing by from time to time.

The surrounding fields and vegetable gardens are no different from other places, they are all well maintained, but in the middle of these fields, you can see a factory, and the village is from the kindergarten to the activity center to the medical station, from the grocery store to the farmer’s market to the small It seems that there are hotels in the town, and there are also hotels here.

…………

In short, this is a new countryside that perfectly blends urban and rural areas, remote and modern.

It would be best to marry your daughter here.

Similarly, Feng Jiachong's girls are also very popular, but in the past two years, Feng Jiachong's girls have become more and more difficult to marry.

These girls are also very high-spirited now. It is impossible for her to marry and stay at home to farm and take care of the elderly. They will not follow you to the coast to work now.

If you don't want to go to far places, you can arrange jobs in the village or the town, and you can save a lot of money every month.

When girls become financially self-sufficient, one of the direct consequences is that their age of starting a family will be getting later and later.

Moreover, parents are not like before. Girls who did not continue to study are anxious about their marriage when they reach the age of seventeen or eighteen. Now they can choose carefully, and a girl can bring at least 20,000 yuan to the family a year. of net income, no rush.

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the machines in several factories in the village stopped, and Feng Zhenchang, along with the workers, went back to the village to have a wedding wine. Those employees whose hometowns are from other places in the county also received invitations from the master's house. Happy event , is to be lively.

The current banquet is also different from the previous two years. It has been undertaken by a professional team, and the tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks are all prepared by themselves, which saves trouble and worry for the host.

Unlike before, they were scattered in various houses, but now they are all concentrated in the enlarged threshing floor-in fact, it should be called a small square, and the running hall is also easy. Moreover, so many people gather together, which is more festive.

The stove is still the same as before, and it is also open-air. At this time, people who just came back from the factory walked around the small square with a smile, and hurried home to change their clothes. Then, the younger ones went to see the bride. The older ones sat at the table that had already been set, eating melon seeds and peanuts and chatting.

The people who came to see off the bride from the bride's side were in charge of the bride's cousin and his wife, who had been working in the south.

At this moment, her cousin was accompanied by an uncle of the man's side. Seeing that Feng Zhenchang was also greeting others, he went home to change his clothes and asked, "Is that Uncle Feng San?"

The man's uncle smiled, "He is from my grandpa's generation, but it doesn't matter if you call him uncle, now you don't care as much as before."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I really don't know this generation," but that's not what he wanted to say, "Grandfather Feng, their family is really well-known now, and everyone says that his family is at least the richest in the county and city. For those in the village, they don’t come with a lot of gifts like these happy events in the village!”

This is a bit of a layman's question. The importance of gifts in rural areas is only related to the distance of the relationship, and has nothing to do with wealth or poverty. Like today's family, it is not the same as Feng Yiping's family. Like a guy, you can't overshadow the close relatives of the man's uncles and uncles and aunts.

"They follow suit like everyone else,"

"Oh," the woman's cousin was obviously disappointed.

"However, do you know how many gifts their family gave indirectly for this wedding?" said the man's uncle, "The four cars to welcome the bride are all their own and the company's cars, and even the drivers are provided by them. That Mercedes was sent by his girl, Yuxuan, who is in charge of the wedding company, sent back from the provincial capital, and received a token amount of money."

"It's actually not a big deal. Today, for this wedding, several factories in his family got off work three hours earlier. Do you know how much a factory shuts down for one hour, and how much is the loss? That's not a small amount,"

The bride's cousin still knows how to count, he is also working in someone else's factory, "Hehe, yes, they really have nothing to say about it,"

In fact, what the groom’s uncle said also contained an ambush. Several factories in the village got off work three hours earlier today, but these three hours will be made up tonight and tomorrow night, otherwise the family will be married for three hours. The vacation, after a year, is several working days.

Whether it is food or tea, they are very popular, and there has been no stock, so it is not easy to take holidays at will, and the proportion of export orders received has been increasing, so the delivery date must not be delayed.

"My brother-in-law's family seems to be living well, and the newly built building is well decorated, but I heard that their family borrowed some foreign debts for this. My sister has to help pay off the debts as soon as she passes the house. These days, hehe ,"

"I don't know where you heard these words. Our village usually saves almost all the money and rebuilds the house. Even if they have some debts, it's not much. Your sister will have a job as soon as she passes the door. They As a couple, as long as they don’t spend too much, they can save at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year, and after a few years, they can consider buying a car, isn’t that a good day?”

…………

The ceremony was still done in the same old way. Under the auspices of the fourth uncle, everyone surrounded a new couple, worshiped in the ancestral hall, worshiped the heavens and the earth and ancestors, and when the husband and wife worshiped each other, several working guys looked at each other. At the same time, the groom and the bride were pushed forward, causing the young couple to bump into each other head-to-head.

But the newcomer was not annoyed, he rubbed his head and looked at each other with a smirk.

Licheng here, the host immediately set off a firecracker, which was the signal for the opening of the meeting. Feng Zhenchang also arrived at this meeting, and was immediately arranged at the main table-this has nothing to do with his wealth, because his seniority is high.

Now on such an occasion, he no longer dares to drink alcohol and instead drinks fruit juice, because there are too many people toasting and they are too enthusiastic, as long as you have a drink, you must be drunk in the end.

This is him, if it is someone else, if someone else toasts you to drink juice, who will do it? But now, with regard to his seniority and strength, no one would compare this truth unreasonably. After clinking glasses with him and saying a few words, he felt very face-saving.

Feng Zhenchang, who hadn't even touched a drop of wine and felt a little drunk, looked at the pair of young people with happy faces, and unconsciously thought of their children's marriage. The son was fine, but the daughter made them worry. She had already died this year. 26 years old, but still doesn't even have a boyfriend.
