50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 90 Marriage 2
A sewing machine is a production tool. With it, you can make clothes at home.

In the long run, a lot of money can be saved. Although it is not cheap, Comrade Jia Jia agreed to buy it.

After choosing for a long time, the two of them finally chose the Butterfly brand sewing machine from the largest brand, Lao Xiechang Factory.

This thing is very durable. You can still use it 50 years after buying one. It is the most cost-effective of all large household items.

In the end, they didn't buy the radio, but that was Sun Zhiwei's decision. It was noisy and suspicious, and if they accidentally heard something from a foreign station, it would be nothing but trouble.

By the time everything was ready, it was already July. On the 5th, my mother-in-law brought my brother-in-law back to their home in the Navy compound in Beijing.

When Sun Zhiwei visited for the first time, he received a warm reception. Perhaps the more the mother-in-law saw her son-in-law, the happier she became. In short, he felt that he had passed the test.

The next day, he and Tong Jiajia obtained their marriage certificate.

July 7th was the wedding day of Sun Zhiwei and Tong Jiajia. The wedding room was of course in the courtyard, and the banquet was scheduled at Quanjude.

He only has a few acquaintances here: Lao Zhang's family of 5, his godmother's family of 6, Aunt Liang's family of 4, and Daxiang's family of 4.

There are also Platoon Leader Luo from the Security Compound, Principal Wang from the Kindergarten, Luo Dahai from the Guard Squad, Principal Yuan from Yucai School, and many others on Lingdao Island.

Tong Jiajia only has a few colleagues and classmates. Since his parents don't live here, he has even fewer relatives and friends than he does.

There are less than thirty people in total, so three tables are enough.

In his expectation, several people from Lingdao would probably not come. They had so many people under their command. If they had to attend every invitation, their free time for the whole year would be spent on eating and drinking.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, godmother, Aunt Liang, Aunt Zhang, and Daxiang's mother had gathered in the courtyard of Sun Zhiwei's house. Today, everything on the man's side depended on them.

The time to pick up the bride was set at 10 a.m. He was accompanied by a squad leader Luo, a platoon leader Luo, the eldest son of his godmother, the eldest son of Aunt Liang and the Daxiang brothers, a total of 6 people.

At 9 o'clock, everyone had arrived. They were all wearing neat army uniforms and each had a bicycle with a big red flower on the front.

Only Sun Zhiwei pinned a big red flower on his chest. It was for grooms only and he had to wear it. He could only suppress his shame and put it on himself.

At the aunts' urging, the wedding procession set off. The Navy compound was over ten miles away from Gongzhufen. If they didn't hurry, they would miss lunch.

They drove at lightning speed and arrived at the gate of the Navy compound in less than half an hour.

My mother-in-law had already greeted the security guard yesterday, and today there was an acquaintance leading the way at the gate. All checkpoints were cleared, and the wedding procession arrived directly downstairs of Tong's house.

Looking at the group of young men in navy uniforms standing at the gate of Tong's house with a fierce look on their faces, Sun Zhiwei felt worried.

Everyone knew that a difficult time was coming, so they quickly parked the car and followed Sun Zhiwei.

The young man leading the group saw Sun Zhiwei and said, "You must be the groom. I wonder what you have done to trick the most beautiful girl in our compound away."

"Tongtong has grown up with us, so we should also screen his partner. What do you think?"

Knowing that this group of people were his former rivals, he didn't back down. He just asked with a smile, "How do you want to check?"

"There are two ways. One is based on the number of people. If there are seven of you, we will also send seven people. Each person will have one test. If you pass, you can take the bride away. If you fail, please come back another day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young men on the navy side started to make a fuss and agreed. The people behind Sun Zhiwei also had their own specialties, so they would not back down at this time and stepped forward one after another.

"Can you represent everyone here?" Sun Zhiwei had already seen heads peering out of a window with a 'happiness' character pasted on it, watching the excitement unfold. "Yes." "Brother Bao, sure." "Brother Bao is our leader."

The navy people echoed this. It seemed that the Bao Ge who came forward today was either very prestigious himself or his family's old man was very prestigious.

"Okay, you guys come up with the questions."

"The first level is the drinking test. We are all Tongtong's childhood friends, but there are too many of us, so we can't go together to celebrate with Tongtong today."

"Then let's just celebrate here. Here are seven bowls of wine. Drink them and you'll pass the level."

On Sun Zhiwei's side, except for Daxiang's younger brother Chen Jiaxuan who can't drink, everyone else can drink well, and a bowl of white wine is nothing.

So, each of them stepped forward and drank a bowl. Since squad leader Luo Dahai had the best alcohol tolerance (self-proclaimed), he drank a bowl for Chen Jiaxuan.

Seeing how decisive they were, the other side cheered loudly.

"For the second level, it's not enough to just be able to drink; you also need knowledge, right? Our requirements aren't high either. Just memorize a paragraph from the book 'SL's Today is Our Tomorrow'."

Sun Zhiwei wanted to curse in his heart. He had only read the table of contents of this book and had not read the content at all.

However, there is a loophole in what he said just now. Since he just recited a random passage, the table of contents can naturally be recited as well.

So he just started to recite the table of contents of the book:

"Table of Contents: 1. Tell the People of the Motherland Everything You Have Seen; 2. South Korea is a Powerful Industrial Country; 3. Great Urban Construction Projects; 4. Agricultural Collectivization Has Bringed Happiness to the People of South Korea."

"That's enough." The young man opposite who was familiar with the book found that he was actually reciting the table of contents. He was dumbfounded and started discussing it.

The leader, Bao Ge, knew it was his fault and didn't play dirty: "You've passed this level."

"The third level is about entertainment. Since you want to marry Tongtong, you naturally need to demonstrate your ability in this area. Would you like to write a poem or sing a song?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on Sun Zhiwei's side burst into laughter.

The people on the other side didn't understand what was going on and looked over in confusion.

Daxiang stepped forward and said, "You should at least find out who the groom is. Have you heard of 'Successor' or 'Tu Pipa'? He can not only sing, but also write songs."

"So it's him. I can't believe it. What else is there to test here?"

Bao Ge asked in disbelief: "Is it really you?"

"it's me."

"Okay, then you've passed this level." Brother Bao was a little discouraged. He had already passed three levels and none of them had stumped him. This was going to be difficult.

"The fourth level, you must protect Tongtong from now on. Apart from other things, you must have a good physique to pass the test."

"I won't make it difficult for you. There are seven of us here. Pick any one of us. If you can arm wrestle any of us, you win."

The seven people who came out this time are all the best in the army, and they are extremely strong.
