Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

The village accountant was keeping accounts. When he saw the gifts from Xie Hui and his party, he looked at Gu Jiu who came forward with a little surprise. He didn't expect that this boy had so many relatives in the county town. He initially thought that this boy was from the provincial capital, but it seems that his hometown is in the county town.

Gu Jiu had no idea what the village accountant was thinking. At this moment, he walked forward with a smile to greet everyone. He was also surprised that Xie Hui notified so many people to come and show his support.

Xie Hui saw him coming, and smiled and pointed at a group of young men behind him and asked: "Lao Jiu, I called so many people to help you welcome the bride, is it enough?"

There were a dozen spirited young men. Some of them were familiar faces, and some of them were relatives. Gu Jiu said gratefully, "Thank you all for coming to support me today. I won't say much else. Everyone, eat and drink well, but don't get drunk. We'll drink to our heart's content tonight."

A group of young men who were actually relatives naturally agreed happily and followed Xie Hui to find a table and sit down.

Mrs. Lu knew that this group of people were the man's relatives, so she hurried forward with a teapot to pour tea for them. She couldn't say she was very enthusiastic, but at least she didn't want to make the man's relatives feel neglected.

After Mrs. Lu left, these people dared to look around.

Some of them came up to Xie Hui and whispered, "Brother Xie, I never thought that Gu Jiu would marry a country girl. I just saw this old house and there's nothing special about it. Could it be because the girl is so beautiful?"

Xie Hui pointed at Tang Jianjun and his friends who were sitting at another table, and scolded them with a smile: "You little bastard, I dare not comment on the bride. If you want to know whether the bride is pretty or not, you can ask them. They are Lao Jiu's best friends."

“Haha, even Brother Xie doesn’t dare to comment, so we’d better not ask. We can always see each other later.”

Naturally, other people couldn't understand it. This family looked like an ordinary rural family, so why did Gu Jiu fall for the girl here?

Xu Ming and his friends at the next table rested for a while, drank a few cups of tea, then stood up to help entertain the guests, or followed behind Gu Jiu to help. In short, they were very busy.

Ding Zaichun also came back with Tang Jianjun, An Fan and others this time. Seeing that Gu Jiu had so many people to help him, he went to find Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu saw her son coming and happily pulled him to sit next to her. She looked at him carefully and said, "You have become whiter and stronger. How are you? Are you used to working in the city?"

"It's a habit. What's there to be uncomfortable about? Just do your best to serve your relatives." Ding Zaichun said with a smile.

Aunt Liu smiled and nodded: "You are right, you should do your best to serve the youngest. If she is satisfied with you, she will not forget you when she becomes successful in the future."

Speaking of which, how many people envy the job of a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative, which is easy and has good benefits. Now his son can also be considered a salesperson.

"Hey, son, let me ask you, are there any girls you met in the city that are suitable for you?"

"Mom, where do I meet girls on my way to work every day?" Ding Zaichun smiled helplessly. There were often girls buying things in the convenience store, but the problem was that he and them had a normal business relationship.

If he had the energy to chat with the girls a little more, they would have thought he was a hooligan. Who would dare to go to the store to buy things then? Wouldn't that cut off his cousin's source of income?

Aunt Liu also knew that her son had only been gone for a short time, so she said unwillingly, "Be smart in your daily life. If you meet someone suitable, don't let him go. Don't worry about your father and I disagreeing when you are dating. As long as you like him, we like him, understand?"

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you. If you see someone you like, chase him/her. If you can't catch up with him/her, it doesn't matter if others call him/her a scoundrel."

"You little rascal, just be perfunctory about what I say!" Aunt Liu slapped him on the back of the head without mercy.

Ding Zaichun covered the back of his head with his hands, looking resentful, "No mother is as cruel as you."

Aunt Liu turned her head away, looking at him with dismay, thinking that seeing a son like this would surely shorten his life.

As the meal was about to start, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Most of the guests had already arrived and each table was full. The guests were chatting animatedly and the children were playing and fighting with each other. Following a burst of firecrackers, bowls of delicious hot dishes were brought out from the kitchen, and the fragrance immediately filled the entire place.

The guests were even more attracted by the dishes served on the table, including braised pork with brown sauce, stewed pork with tenderloin, braised fish, stuffed tofu, stewed pig's trotters... What are you waiting for? Eat the meat with big mouthfuls.

Li Xiu felt that he had made the right decision to come today. If he had listened to his daughter and went back, how could he eat so much meat? The meat in this meal was probably enough for them for the next six months. Today's meal could save up enough meat for half a year.

"Hey, every dish at today's banquet tastes good, better than the banquets I've had before."

"Yes, why didn't I know that the dishes at the banquet could be so delicious?"

"Who is cooking today? Do you know?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be from our village, otherwise it wouldn't taste so good."

"It's still Er Laizi who's in charge of the cooking, but these meat dishes were prepared by the two daughters-in-law of the Lin family yesterday, so they're basically just stir-fried and served on the table today."

"When did the two daughters-in-law of the Lin family become so good at cooking?"

"Since they are good at cooking, why do they ask Er Laizi to cook?"

"You are stupid. The two sisters-in-law have to entertain guests today. How can they have time to cook?"

Li Xiu kept paying attention to the discussions of the surrounding villagers while eating. Fortunately, no one directly compared her family's banquet with that of the eldest wife's.

The villagers were talking a lot, mostly about today's dishes, until Gu Jiu brought Lin Shu out to toast with everyone, and everyone's attention was focused on today's newlyweds.

But everyone’s attention is fixed on the newcomer and they can’t take it away. When did the girl from the Lin family become so beautiful?

Especially the young men from the same village, many of them had expressions of obsession or regret on their faces, as if the flowers they watched grow were picked by others when they were not paying attention.

This led to Gu Jiu, who was beside Lin Shu, becoming the target of everyone's anger. After a round of toasts, everyone tacitly drank Gu Jiu's drink, as if they were willing to drink a few more glasses in order to knock Gu Jiu down today.

This made Gu Jiu's brothers who were blocking his way for him suffer. After drinking a glass of wine, Tang Jianjun had a bitter face, and his nose and eyebrows were all wrinkled together. The next drink was taken by Tang Jianjun, who still frowned as the hot wine slid into his throat. After the next drink, it was Li Yuanchao who blocked his way...

As the cups went by, Gu Jiu was still cheerful and cheerful, but the brothers around him looked a little dazed.

Lu Yinhua was so scared that she quickly went to bring the sobering soup and asked each of them to drink a cup, so that they would not get drunk to the point of passing out, otherwise how would they welcome the bride later?

It’s impossible for the groom to go first and the whole wedding procession to stay at the bride’s house.

Gu Jiu looked at them and said disdainfully, "Those of you who can't hold their liquor well, drink a cup of hangover soup and soothe your throat more, or else you might end up riding your bike into a stinky ditch on the roadside on the way to pick up the bride."
