Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

night.

After the market closed, Li Youjie rode his bicycle home, his whole face smiling as if he had eaten honey.

During the day, Huang Juan went to the market to find him again.

She even confronted him directly and asked him if he was willing to marry her.

Li Youjie never expected that he would be proposed to!

He immediately nodded and said he was willing.

As a result, Huang Juan started crying while laughing and said, "You are rich now, why don't you find a more beautiful wife."

Li Youjie smiled and said: You are the most beautiful.

The bold Huang Juan was so happy after hearing this that she kissed Li Youjie without caring whether there was anyone around.

Li Yijie is both beautiful and shy.

The two agreed to talk about this matter when they returned home and set a date for the wedding first.

I’m going to get married.

Li Youjie was so excited that he didn't even notice any tiredness, and the pedals of his bicycle almost made him fly off.

"Hey, Youjie, why are you so happy? Your teeth are popping out with joy." A member asked jokingly when he saw Li Youjie looking so happy.

"I'm happy!" Li Youjie rode home without even looking back.

After entering the yard, Li Youjie parked the car in the corner and hurried into the house.

"dad!···"

"Why are you here, calling for souls?" Li Guanghu walked in from outside, carrying half a basin of freshly picked beans.

Just now he saw his second son in the vegetable garden, looking very anxious.

Li Youjie snatched the enamel basin from Li Guanghu's hand, pulled Li Guanghu's arm, and walked inside: "Dad, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Dad, I'm getting engaged."

"Engaged? With that girl from Changxing Brigade?"

The sudden happy event made Li Guanghu a little dazed. Li Youjie had a girlfriend in Changxing Brigade, and it was his eldest son Li Youcai who told him about it.

I had said before when we were building the new house that Li Youjie might get married someday, and he actually said that to his eldest son.

"Ah."

Li Youjie nodded and replied, "Dad, Huang Juan is my elementary school classmate. We have known each other for many years. I know her family inside and out, so don't worry."

"I'm worried about you, so we have to meet. Go and call your elder brother and sister-in-law over, and we'll discuss how to handle this for you." Li Guanghu said.

In the past, Li Guanghu would have definitely arranged Li Youjie's engagement himself, but now that his eldest son has become successful, Li Guanghu has subconsciously attached more and more importance to his eldest son and hopes that his eldest son can give him some advice.

"I'll go now." Li Youjie ran out of the house excitedly.

After running all the way to his eldest brother's house, Li Youjie hurriedly told Li Youcai and his wife about the engagement.

Duoduo jumped happily on the kang, cheering non-stop: "My uncle is getting married... My uncle is getting married."

Li Youcai quickly hugged his precious girl and said, "If you jump again, the kang will collapse."

Then he looked at his younger brother Li Youjie and said, "If we want to get engaged, we have to prepare everything, including the betrothal gifts and the bride price."

"Dad wants you and sister-in-law to help me arrange it."

"Let's go, let's go and talk it over with Dad." Li Youcai picked up Duoduo and called out to Chu Xinyan.

"Ah."

Chu Xinyan took out the padlock and locked her door.

Nowadays, there are not so many rules for getting married, and many families don’t pay too much attention to them in order to save money.

Many families have boys or girls of marriageable age, and most of them go to find a good matchmaker to introduce their children to a married woman.

The matchmaker will pass the message between the two parties, and if the basic conditions are met, they will meet for a blind date.

Marriages at first sight are common these days, and even engagements without ever meeting someone are not uncommon.

back home.

Li Youcai and his father Li Guanghu decided that although Li Youjie and Huang Juan were in a free love relationship, it would still be better to find a matchmaker.

A formal marriage is very important.

"Why don't we let Old Mrs. Wang from the brigade be the matchmaker? She has told me many times these days that she wants to introduce a partner to Youjie, and she has also been a matchmaker for many people, so she has plenty of experience," Li Guanghu suggested.

Old Wang Pozi is a well-known matchmaker in Dongsheng Brigade. She specializes in matchmaking and making money.

Old Mrs. Wang knew very well how old the girls in the entire Dongsheng Brigade were and which boys were old enough to get married.

Normally, her eyes are always on these people.

Hearing the name of Old Wang Po, Li Youcai shook his head: "Let's change someone. Old Wang Po doesn't have a good reputation. She was the one who arranged the marriage for the girl from the Old Su family. She said it very nicely. But after the marriage, the Old Su family found out that the man was a second marriage and had a child. It's too late to regret it now."

"Isn't this a lie!" Li Youjie said with his eyes wide open.

"It's just a lie."

This incident caused a lot of controversy in the brigade, and many people knew about it. When Li Youcai was mentioned, Li Guanghu was also remembered.

"If she's not the right matchmaker, who should I find?" Li Guanghu was a little troubled.

"Why not ask Secretary Wang's wife to be the matchmaker? She has done matchmaking before," Li Youcai suggested.

After all, Wang Jingui is the brigade secretary, and his wife Wu Qiaolian is also a good talker. She used to be a matchmaker in the past few years, but in order not to affect Wang Jingui's work, she has not been a matchmaker in recent years.

It's just right to ask her to do this.

"Wu Qiaolian is fine." Li Guanghu also agreed.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow morning, Dad, you and Youjie will go invite Wu Qiaolian. She's more familiar with the three aunts and six betrothal rituals than we are. You'd better bring her to the county town. We can get everything we need in one trip."

"Xinyan and I will wait for you at the market after we drop Duoduo off at kindergarten."

"Well, that's fine."

A matchmaker has been chosen.

The family discussed what items to buy for the new house.

Li Youcai had previously promised to make three turns, one ring and thirty-two legs, which made Li Youjie very happy at that time.

But looking at these things now, Li Youjie doesn't think they are so rare.

There's nothing he can do about it, it's his own pocket that's getting fatter.

Li Guanghu rummaged through the drawers and took out an iron box.

He took out the money inside.

This was the money that Li Youcai gave to Li Youjie after he and his friends made money from selling ice cream. At that time, he specifically asked Li Guanghu to keep it for Li Youjie to use when he got married.

Now is the time to use it.

"Youjie, I've saved this money for you. You can use it to buy anything you want."

"From now on, you should save your own money. I will not be in charge of you." Li Guanghu said.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and their parents don’t need to buy horses and cattle for them.

A year ago, Li Guanghu was still worried about his second son's wife, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Dad, I don't need so much money. I have enough money now. It's enough for buying things for marriage and giving gifts." Li Youjie put the money back into the iron box and returned it to Li Guanghu.

As a shopkeeper in the farmers' market, he naturally had no shortage of money. He still had three or four thousand yuan in his small treasury, and he had long since stopped thinking about the money he had deposited with Li Guanghu.
