They knew that the living conditions of the eldest uncle's family were good, but no matter how good the living conditions were, they couldn't do it like this.

Wei Yikui smiled cheerfully: "Aunt, these were not prepared by our family, but by Geng Zhiqing. Oh, leave some aside for those of us who helped."

"Geng Zhiqing? I didn't expect he was so generous."

The sisters-in-law left while talking, and when they got back to the house they were still talking:

"This Geng Zhiqing is better than that bastard surnamed Yang. We haven't seen anything of that Yang in all these years."

The second sister-in-law said, handing a handful of green vegetables to the fourth sister-in-law, "Pick this clean."

"Who said it wasn't true? If that woman hadn't been deceived by the man surnamed Yang, our Yu Chen would have been engaged to that wicked and wicked man!"

The third sister-in-law said as she took the knife from the eldest sister-in-law and started chopping the meat. The woman they were talking about was the unreliable mother of the original owner.

"Speaking of this Yang, Second Sister-in-law, do you know? The one who threw dirty water on our Yuchen was the old hag surnamed Yang."

The fourth son's wife scooped a bucket of water from the jar and started washing vegetables.

"So vicious? If you want to cancel the engagement, just say so directly. Why come up with such a method? You are trying to force me to death!"

"They are getting anxious. Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, let me tell you, I heard that the girl who got along well with Yang is pregnant. If we don't get married soon, it will be exposed."

The fourth son’s wife is a gossip expert in the village and is very well-informed.

"You can't force people to death. People like this will suffer retribution sooner or later!"

The third sister-in-law said angrily.

"Do you know whose girl is pregnant? You have to be more careful in the future." The second sister-in-law was more concerned about this.

"I heard that he was from the bank, I can't tell the details, but he seemed to have come to find Yuchen, saying that he was Yuchen's classmate or friend or something..."

The fourth son’s wife thought for a while and said.

"Just wait and see. I don't think the Qianzhuang girl can marry Yang Dashu. The Yang family is cunning and will not do anything without profit."

The second daughter-in-law sees things more clearly.

… …

The sisters-in-law were talking as they worked, very skillfully. Even though they were relatives, they couldn't just take advantage of others for free, right?

The wedding started.

Wei Yuchen changed into the clothes that had been prepared long ago, a green military uniform on the upper body and black pants on the lower body. The style was simple and elegant, which is the most popular style for weddings nowadays.

Wei Yuchen had two fishbone braids today, bangs, and a homemade sky blue hairpin on her head.

She was already beautiful, and this make-up made her eyes look as black as ink and her lips as white as pearls. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.

When Geng Changshuo saw Wei Yuchen like this, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Geng Changshuo also changed his clean ragged clothes into a brand new grey Lenin suit. He was already good-looking, and with this outfit, many people were stunned.

"Look, Geng Zhiqing doesn't look that great when viewed alone, but when put together, he looks pleasing to the eye."

The second aunt in the team said with a smile.

"Yes, he is a good-looking person, but his character is a bit bad." Goudan's wife curled her lips after hearing what the second aunt said.

"What's the matter?" asked the second aunt.

"He's a gigolo. How much do you think a man who's a gigolo can achieve?" said Goudan's wife.

"Haha, Geng Zhiqing is usually very capable and doesn't need to rely on anyone for support." said the second aunt.

"You're already someone's son-in-law, and you're still not living off him?" said Goudan's wife.

"Even if he wants to be a gigolo, he won't be a gigolo to anyone. With Geng Zhiqing's conditions, if he wants to be a gigolo, I wonder how many girls would want him to be." said the second aunt.

"Second Aunt, why are you saying so much to him? Goudan's wife is just sour grapes because she can't eat them!"

A young man named Wei Yuli, who was standing next to the second aunt, couldn't stand Goudan's wife belittling Geng Zhiqing, so he said something bad to her.

"Wei Yuli, who says the grapes are sour because they can't eat them?" Erdan's wife scolded Wei Yuli angrily after hearing what she said.

"Just tell me what's wrong with you. Don't think I don't know. A few days ago, your sister confessed her love to Geng Zhiqing and promised that as long as Geng Zhiqing leaves my sister Chenchen, she will marry Geng Zhiqing."

"You are spreading rumors." Erdan's wife yelled.

"Whether it's a rumor or not is not up to you to decide. There were several of us together at the time. We all saw it and heard it. What? Do you still want them to come out and prove it?"

"You're talking nonsense." Erdan's wife was very angry.

"If you don't believe me, I'll call someone. Then let's see who will be embarrassed, me or you?" Wei Yuli was not willing to admit defeat.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the second aunt hurried to persuade them to stop fighting: "Forget it, forget it, they are getting married, what's the point of you two quarreling here? Are you going to destroy their factory?"

Wei Yuli is close to the Wei family, so naturally they don't want to ruin Wei Yuchen's wedding. Erdan's wife is also afraid that bad news will offend the Wei family. After hearing what the second aunt said, both of them were speechless.

… …

Weddings in the 1970s were very simple. People did not worship the heavens or the earth. Instead, they swore an oath in front of the Chairman’s portrait and then bowed to their elders.

Geng Changshuo's parents were not there, so the couple just bowed three times to Wei Yikui. Then the bride and groom bowed to each other.

While bowing, Wei Yuchen and Geng Changshuo looked at each other, and Wei Yuchen couldn't help but whispered, "You really don't regret it?"

For some reason, Geng Changshuo saw her unprecedented seriousness at this moment. He nodded seriously, "I've made up my mind. I will never betray you in my life." He could feel Wei Yuchen's deep hatred for betrayal.

Wei Yuchen nodded and said nothing, but the depth in his eyes was as heavy as the sea.

After bowing, the captain who presided over the wedding reminded Geng Changshuo: "I'll give you a day off tomorrow, so go get the certificate early.

It's not that the team leader is doing this in vain, it's just that many people in the village don't get married without getting a marriage certificate, which is not safe at all. Especially for village girls marrying educated youth, the risk factor is the highest.

And this Geng Zhiqing, who was poor, ugly, and unkempt, thought that marrying Wei Yuchen was a great achievement.

But now he has become handsome, has money, and can hunt wild animals. In this case, he must get a license, because he doesn't want too many accidents to happen in the village.

After the wedding, everyone started to eat.

The Wei family's yard is not small, with two entrances. It was originally the yard of a landlord, but it was left idle during the land reform. Later, the front was used as a village clinic, and the back was bought by Wei Yikui.

There are three rooms in the front entrance, one is Wei Yikui's living room, and the other two are clinics.

There are five houses in the backyard, where Wei Yuchen lives. The kitchen and other facilities are all in the backyard. In order to facilitate the delivery of dishes, the wedding banquet was also held in the backyard.

There were ten tables prepared for the wedding banquet, and each table was full of people.

The wedding banquet had four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes. The meat dishes were rabbit stewed with chicken, mushrooms and potatoes, stir-fried pork with beans, and scrambled eggs with green peppers.

The vegetarian dishes are different. Some are tofu, green vegetables, leeks, tomatoes, some are eggplant, cucumber, wood ear vegetable, three fresh vegetables, etc. In short, whatever is available is served, as long as there are enough for four dishes.

During the meal, the Yang family also came. They gave twenty cents, but the whole family came, including Uncle Yang's parents, Yang Laogen and Zhang Zhaodi, and Yang Dashu's sister Yang Xiaocao.

During the meal, many people praised the Wei family for the rich and generous portions of dishes they prepared. However, Zhang Zhaodi pouted and said:

"What's the big deal? When my son Yang Dashu gets married, it will be a more dignified wedding than this."

Wei Erkui's wife Liu Meifeng, who was serving dishes, heard this. She smiled and walked over and asked:

"Zhang Zhaodi, does your family also care about respectability? If you do care about respectability, then return the money to my eldest brother's family first."

"Didn't my family already pay back the money when we broke off the engagement? It was more than 700 yuan!" Zhang Zhaodi had wanted to say this for a long time. Since Wei Yuchen had given birth to a child with so much money in her family, they wouldn't have to worry about giving birth to a child without an anus.

"Over the years, you have eaten and taken things from my eldest brother's family, which is at least a thousand dollars. You have paid back more than 100 yuan. Do you think you have paid it back? There is also more than yuan for your son's medical expenses and more than yuan for your son's school tuition.

Don't you think that your son has to pay for his tuition, his notebooks and pens, and the meals he eats at my eldest brother's house. These are all things and money. My eldest brother is generous and doesn't want you to accompany him. Do you think he doesn't need to save money? What are you thinking?

People like you keep talking about respectability. Do you think you deserve it? And today, you gave a 20-cent gift, and your family of three came to eat. Do you think this is respectable?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Zhaodi with sidelong eyes. This person was really confused. He ate other people's food and still spoke ill of them. Was he out of his mind?

However, since they knew that Yang Dashu would have a bright future, there were still a few people who flattered Zhang Zhaodi.

Someone stood up to support Zhang Zhaodi:

"Liu Meifeng, your eldest brother didn't even mention the matter of his family, but you're still bringing it up and blasting it. Is that interesting?"

Liu Meifeng was not tolerant: "You can not mention my eldest brother, but the Yang family can not forget it. They ate and drank their food, but forgot it in a blink of an eye. They are ungrateful people in the Yang family.

Was I the first one to say that today? It was Zhang Zhaodi who complained that my eldest brother's wedding banquet was not decent. I wanted to see how decent his family could hold it.

Everyone, take a good look and see if the Yang family can host a fancy banquet."

Zhang Zhaodi was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't dare to confront him. After all, what he said was the truth, and if she made a scene, she would be even more embarrassed.

Yang Laogen glared at Zhang Zhaodi. This troublesome person, why did he say something in private? Why did he do it in this place? Isn't this embarrassing?

Zhang Zhaodi also felt aggrieved. She thought that Wei Dagui and the others were in such a hurry that they didn't pay attention to what she said. Who could have thought it was such a coincidence!

Although Zhang Zhaodi was not a pleasant surprise at the wedding banquet, it was generally a success. Everyone who came to congratulate them ate to their heart's content. Many people left with bulging stomachs.

After the meal, the women were responsible for washing and rinsing, while the men were responsible for returning the borrowed tables, chairs and benches, and packing up the leftover dishes and delivering them.

After finishing the work, Wei Yikui asked his daughter to give the meat that he had prepared to the sisters-in-law who came to help, and said words of thanks:

"Today, thanks to all of you for your concern, otherwise it wouldn't have been so successful."

There was no entertainment in the countryside in the early 1970s. People just slept when it got dark and worked when it got light.

By the time everything was packed up, it was dark and everyone had gone home.

After everyone left, when only Wei Yuchen and Geng Changshuo were left in the room, the couple sat on the kang, looking at each other, feeling a little awkward.

Although Wei Yuchen came from the end of the world and has a relatively open mind, she has never been married and doesn't know how to get along with men.

Geng Changshuo is a native and his thoughts are even more conservative.

The two of them sat there at a loss for a while. Just when Wei Yuchen was wondering whether he should speak first, Geng Changshuo coughed lightly, reached out his hand, took Wei Yuchen's hand, and said softly, "It's getting late, let's rest."
