394: A moment of spring night

Autumn turned to winter, and the year 1976 came in the blink of an eye.

After experiencing the lively autumn harvest season, the endless Loess Plateau began to be invaded by the biting cold wind from the north. The cold current swept through the grasslands and deserts and came unstoppably.

Every one of the people on the yellow earth was so cold that they breathed cold air, and their noses and ears were red.

After working people returned home, they only felt their rough hands were slightly itchy, which was a prelude to frostbite.

On the ravines on both sides of Shuangshui Village, there is no longer any green color. Looking up, there are only bare mountains.

The jujube forest, which was bustling with activity a few months ago, now has no leaves hanging on it. The Dongla River flowing beside it is covered with ice, and even the dirt roads in the village are frozen. Bang bang hard.

Over Shuangshui Village, black charcoal smoke and white firewood smoke and birds rise, and a wisp of smoke represents a family.

Originally, the Sun family used firewood for the winter, but now that they have moved to a much larger new home, it would be too expensive to use firewood for heating. My father-in-law, Tian Futang, went to the house last month. The Sun family brought a small mountain of black coal, all of which had been ordered at Shigejie.

At first glance, the surface layer of the Loess Plateau in winter is endless yellow, but the colors underground are exceptionally rich. This is the world-renowned Wujin Triangle region, and coal prices are actually not expensive. .

But unfortunately, the conditions of the Sun family were really poor in the past, so they could only prepare firewood for the winter in advance.

Now that the conditions at home have improved, the Sun family can no longer see everyone huddled together in shabby cotton jackets and shivering at home in winter. At this time, they can even take off their clothes in the cave dwelling. The coat is really rare.

"Brother, your marriage to Sister Runye will be on the eighth day of next month."

"That day is Thursday, and I have already asked for leave from our teacher in advance. I go home to help on Wednesday at noon, and then go back to school on Friday. On the weekend, I may live in the dormitory and not go home."

Shaoping looked cheerful.

Looks like his face is very rosy. He gradually said goodbye to the sallow and thin face before, and his whole temperament has changed a lot. Although he is still very poor in school, Lu Ze gave him All the money was saved by Shaoping and he didn't spend much.

The real reason why Shaoping has changed so much is not due to changes in the material conditions of his family.

But his relationship with Tian Xiaoxia has developed rapidly. This girl has had a great influence on Shaoping. Gradually, he has become a little more confident and can hold the rice bowl generously. Go get food.

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Okay."

After a while, Jin Bo and Jin Xiu, brother and sister, came here. They smiled and called Lu Ze, "Brother Shao'an" , while Tian Runsheng, who lives closer, arrived very late.

It turns out that those whose homes are close to school are more likely to be late.

Runsheng pushed Lu Ze out and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you go out first, we have to work."

They planned to tidy up the new cave dwelling where Lu Ze lived. , it can be regarded as a wedding blessing sent by several people together.

In this era, the relationship between the villagers is still very simple. Regarding Lu Ze’s upcoming marriage, the villagers all have the money and the ability to contribute. Of course, most of them contribute, Lu Ze. Ze thinks this is enough.

After a whole morning of work, Runsheng and several people decorated the two earthen walls of the cave dwelling with splendor. It seemed that the atmosphere of a wedding house had been highlighted.

My elder sister Lanhua also came to the house a few days ago and stayed at home early to start working on her younger brother’s wedding. At this time, she was neatly working with Runye’s mother to tailor clothes and bedding for the two new members of the family, and prepare them at the same time. Waiting for guests to eat in the back.

"Run Sheng Shaoping, you two dolls, grab the pig legs and don't let go."

"Xiao Bo, hold the basin in your hands. This pig blood is precious. , don’t waste it.”

Jin Junwu, a pig-killing expert from Shuangshui Village, came to Sun’s yard, and several people from Runsheng were called out to help kill the pigs.

Jin Junwen rolled up his sleeves and held a sharp knife between his teeth. Soon the harsh sound of a pig was heard, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out. In the blink of an eye, the fat knife on the table The pig was cut into pieces.

The women in the house also came out to watch the pig killing, and the excitement of the wedding suddenly arose in the house.

Logically speaking, Lu Ze’s second father and mother, these two real relatives, should also come to help, but the women’s director He Fengying went to a neighboring town to visit Dazhai, and Sun Yuting’s third job was in I still have to take care of several children at home, so I have no free time.

"Don't worry, Shaoan"

"Your wedding is a big event for our family, and my second father and second mother will definitely attend on time"

Lu Ze Thinking about his second father's solemn words when I met him a few days ago, I smiled dumbly.

I didn’t take it to heart. After all, the second dad came to the house to help. At best, he could only help disperse cigarettes or chat.

Work is impossible.

It is impossible in this life.

At noon, there was a lively meal in the Sun family cave dwelling. Because the pig was killed today, according to the rules, the pig butcher had to be entertained. Lu Ze also left Jin Bo and his group to give them These few people started a small stove alone, and the group ate happily.

"Shaoan."

"You will go to the Shige Festival Commune later to buy some cigarettes for guests, and by the way, let Hu Delu give you a good haircut."

In addition, everyone in this Shuangshui Village is a drinker, so I might as well buy some more cigarettes and alcohol to go home.

After Lu Ze finished eating, he rode on his father-in-law’s bicycle.Going to Shigejie Commune, he rode calmly on the flat road. The mountains and fields in the cold winter seemed extremely lonely, and the cool breeze was blowing in front of him, but Lu Ze had no reaction to the temperature.

Now his physical fitness has gradually escaped the range of normal people.

You can feel the changes of the four seasons.

But the body’s resistance is very high.

While passing by Jar Village, Lu Ze saw at a glance that the man squatting next to the stone bridge and wrapping himself tightly was his wandering brother-in-law, with his hands stuffed together. In his sleeves, there was a tattered black hat on his head. Wang Manyin's face didn't look good. He was half-squinting his eyes at this time and didn't notice Lu Ze's arrival.

"Hey."

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Wang Manyin suddenly woke up from his half-daze state and saw After it was Lu Ze, he stood up from the ground in a panic, then held on to his crooked black hat, and smiled sheepishly at Lu Ze, "Your sister has not been at home these days, and there is no firewood. There are so many things in the cave." It's been very cold for two days, so I went out to bask in the sun."

Lu Ze suddenly laughed.

"Then you can't go to the mountain to chop some firewood"

"How will you eat without making a fire?"

Wang Manyin hesitated" The road on the mountain was too difficult to walk, so I cut some and it was not very useful to go home. I thought it would be too troublesome so I decided not to light a fire. I had a few pancakes at home, and I would heat them up on the neighbor’s stove when I was eating."

Lu Ze was a little shocked.

He doesn’t know how there can be such lazy people in this world.

And this person is his brother-in-law.

"Then how did you eat before you were married to my sister?"

"That's easier. At that time, I would eat enough for myself and the whole family would not be hungry. We could just eat whatever we wanted." , I won’t starve to death anyway."

Wang Manyin saw Lu Ze riding a bicycle and guessed that he was going to the Shige Festival Commune, and suddenly became interested, "Shaoan, you are going to the commune. If you want to buy some scattered cigarettes and alcohol. To eat, go to the second retail store on the north side of Changliu Street, where the goods are affordable; if you want to buy whole items, go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the commune."

Lu Ze sighed slightly.

This brother-in-law is definitely a smart man, but the bungling of this smart man and lazy man is really weird.

"Brother-in-law, you are really hungry, so go home to eat."

Wang Manyin waved his hands quickly, but at this time he showed the good things in his nature, "No, Your family must be busy and chaotic right now, and I won’t be able to help you much. Just have your sister and the two kids here. I’ll go there when you get married, and I’ll come back the same day after the event, so I won’t cause any trouble.”

Lu Ze chatted with Wang Manyin for a while, then rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bunch of cigarettes and alcohol.

This thing is not a good smoke or drink, but it is definitely not the kind of quality that is just fake. The mid-range type is enough.

AlsoI bought some leftover materials that I need for the big banquet.

Lu Ze finally rode his bike to the only barber shop in Shigejie Commune. There was only a chubby barber named Hu Delu. There was a swivel chair in the small room and a large old mirror hanging on the wall. .

Hu Delu is considered the number one celebrity in Shigejie Commune.

After all, barbers are still a relatively scarce profession in this era. After Lu Ze walked into the shop, he put a lot of things in his hands at his feet. The barber did not say whether he wanted to do it or not. Instead, he smiled brightly at Lu Ze.

"Cut your hair"

"That's right, just watch it and it will be fine."

After spending a huge sum of twenty-five cents, Lu Ze was about to Half an hour later, when I looked at my slightly more handsome face in the mirror in front of me, I felt that this barber Hu Delu was still pretty good, at least much better than most of the hot-blooded barbers in later generations.

"The groom, this hairstyle is OK?"

Lu Ze fiddled with his hairstyle in the mirror, turned around and smiled, "How did you know I was the groom?" /p>

Hu Delu was washing his hands at this time and smiled at Lu Ze, "We, barbers, rely on our eyes for food. You bought all these tobacco, alcohol and aniseed ingredients. They are obviously just for banquets." People looked overjoyed, seeing that he was a man who was about to get married."

Lu Ze took out a loose cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Hu Delu.

"Good craftsmanship."

"Good vision"

When he returned home, Lu Ze was surprised to find that Runye was sitting on his kang. On the bed, when Lu Ze came back, Runye got off the kang with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything, but naturally helped Lu Ze unload the things in his hands.

Tian Futang and Sun Yuhou were smoking cigarettes at this time.

These old-school smokers feel that new-style cigarettes are not very exciting to smoke. They are conservatives.

The young people in the village all like cigarettes and belong to the reformist group.

"Why are you back?"

Lu Ze said hello to his father-in-law, then looked at Run Ye and asked softly.

Runye looked at Lu Ze's newly shaved head, with joy and affection in his eyes, and replied with a smile, "I'm getting married soon, so I must go home early to prepare for the wedding."

As he spoke, Runye blushed again unconsciously, and then he remembered that the two elders in the family behind him were there.

Tian Futang smiled and shook his head, "I originally told Run Ye that I would take leave for two days before coming back. Who would have thought that this girl couldn't stay in the city for the past two days, so she just took the car and came back directly. Home."

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Ze and Run Ye got married.

The wedding was quite simple compared to later generations, but the atmosphere was even more lively.

The relatives at home all came to the house on the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Looking at the brand new three-hole cave dwelling of the Sun family, they all sighed in their hearts.Sun Yuhou's family finally got through it. His son is really capable. No wonder he can become the captain at the age of eighteen

Fortunately, the current home is big enough to barely accommodate him.

And that afternoon, Wang Manyin also rushed over from the Jar Village. He was really hungry and couldn't bear it, especially because he thought about eating and drinking at the table tomorrow. , his stomach couldn't hold it anymore, he planned to have a meal at Sun's house in the evening, go back to Gu Gu Village in the dark, and then come back when the banquet officially started tomorrow.

Lu Ze couldn't help but sigh.

It would be troublesome for this second-rate brother-in-law to walk such a long way back and forth. Going up the mountain to cut firewood would be like killing him

The next day, the wedding officially started.

Lu Ze is dressed very handsomely, with Hu Delu’s fashionable hairstyle. He doesn’t look like the captain of the first team of Shuangshui Village at all. Instead, he looks like a cultured person, and he treats others in a measured manner. very.

Tian Futang was extremely happy

Everyone he met would comment on how his new uncle was interviewed in the newspaper, as if he was a cultural person.

The bride, Runye, was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, with a scarf knitted by Lanhua herself around her neck. The couple went from table to table and started toasting. Even Tian Er, a fool in the village, came to the venue to beg Hanazi to participate in weddings and funerals. It's a good omen, and everyone is happy and doesn't care about it.

"Dear relatives and friends, dear friends."

"Today is the wedding of my daughter Run Ye and Shao Anwa. As the girl's father, I would like to say a few words."

"From now on, Sun Shaoan must treat my daughter well, otherwise I, as a father, will never agree. Even though I am not as good as before, it is not a problem for me to take care of my uncle."

Tian Futang drank rise.

Sun Yuting was also greeting the guests with a wine glass at this time. He was also very happy in his heart. Lu Ze and Run Ye were in a free love relationship, but in Sun Yuting's opinion, there were signs of a political marriage.

He can work better with Secretary Futang

“Thank you dang

”

The banquet lasted from noon to evening .

Lu Ze returned to the wedding room with Run Ye, who was smelling slightly, in his arms. Run Ye was shy.

"Well"

"Brother Shaoan"

turned out the lights.
