Sun Dahong was so frightened that he didn't dare to fart and just sat there obediently.

The secretary scolded me harshly and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Next year, you won't be my team leader anymore. If you spend all your time scheming against others, what future can you achieve?"

"Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Sun Dahang hurriedly stood up, apologized repeatedly, and left the secretary's office as quickly as possible.

The deputy secretary smiled and shook his head. "Hey, Old Zhao, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Tomorrow when I go to Chenjia Village to inspect it, I'll praise Chen Yuan a few words and this matter will be over."

Zhao Qingjian snorted, "That's true, but Sun Dahong really went too far this time!"

"But you're right, we really have to go to Chenjia Village tomorrow."

The deputy secretary glanced at the calendar on the wall and said with a smile, "There's a meeting tomorrow. Let's go the day after tomorrow!"

"That's okay too!"

……

To celebrate Chen Yuan winning the title of model student, Sun Weiwei invited the three families to dinner together in the evening.

After Li Shanghai sent Yang Yan here, he hurried to the county.

Yang Yan wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was rejected by Sun Weiwei with a smile.

"Sister Yan, I'm not being polite to you, but you have to be careful with your big belly. Go find Grandma Feng and Yiyi on the kang."

Seeing Sun Weiwei's insistence, Yang Yan had no choice but to smile and say, "Then I'll go inside. If you're too busy, call me!"

"to make!"

At this moment, Feng Ailian was cutting the wedding character for Hu Zi's wedding on the kang in Chen Yuan's house.

Yang Yan came in and was able to get started after learning it once.

Hu Zi bought a lot of red paper. According to Li Shanghai, it was just for the sake of celebration and he couldn't save the money.

For a moment, the house was bustling with activity, as if it was New Year's Day.

Chen Yuan was not idle either, and went straight into the kitchen.

"Wife, let me help you cut the vegetables."

Sun Weiwei waved at Chen Yuan and said, "The water in the water tank at home is not enough. You can bring back two buckets of water."

Hu Zi had brought in two buckets of water without him noticing.

"Sister-in-law, I was so busy repairing the house these past two days that I didn't even realize you were short of water. If you have any problems, just call me. Brother Yuan and I are close friends!"

Chen Yuan smiled and patted Hu Zi's shoulder, "With your words, I feel relieved when I go out!"

Sun Weiwei also laughed.

Li Shanghai rushed back before dinner, exhausted and out of breath.

"Brother Yuan, I got a bicycle! It's brand new!"

Chen Yuan put down the work in his hands, walked into the yard, and walked around the bicycle.

"How much is it? I'll ask your sister-in-law to give it to you."

Li Shanghai laughed and said, "I exchanged fifty kilograms of food coupons for the ticket, and the bicycle cost one hundred and twenty."

Chen Yuan responded, turned around and went back to the house. He soon came out with an envelope and handed it directly to Li Shanghai.

Li Shanghai took the envelope and put it directly into his pocket, then pulled Chen Yuan to the eaves.

"Brother Yuan, I just ran into Old Li from the meat processing factory when I went to the county to pick up my bicycle."

"He said things are getting tense lately and the supply of braised pork offal is temporarily unavailable. I'm afraid our business will have to stop for a while."

After saying that, Li Shanghai sighed, his eyes full of reluctance.

The business of braised pork offal and fried dough twists is so good that no one is willing to add them.

Chen Yuan frowned. They sold 200 kilograms of braised pork offal every day, which was indeed a large amount. It would easily arouse suspicion. If they were not careful, everything would be over.

"It's better to stop. We can't continue the crime against the wind. Let's continue after a few days when the crackdown is not so strict."

"Besides, we don't know what the policy will be in the future. Who knows, in ten or eight years, the policy might change again."

Chen Yuan knew that the money he earned now was just small money, which was considered as primitive capital accumulation. It would be the time to make big money after seven or eight years of reform and opening up!

However, he couldn't tell Li Shanghai about this directly and could only reveal it implicitly.

Li Shanghai thought Chen Yuan was trying to comfort him, so he forced a wry smile and said, "We can't predict what will happen in the future. We finally found a stable business, but we didn't expect it to stop now."

He kicked the stones at his feet and asked, "Now that the braised pork offal business is closed, what are you and Hu Zi going to do?"

Chen Yuan pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said, "What else can I do? Let's go back to my old job!"

"During the spring planting season, the brigade requires everyone to participate in collective labor. We must join in the farming, and when we are not busy, we go up the mountain."

Li Shanghai nodded gently and asked, "Should we tell Hu Zi? Or should we wait until he gets married?"

Chen Yuan replied without a second thought: "Wait until he gets married! Don't let this bad thing affect him."

"Besides, you never know when you'll be able to work again. You should pay more attention to the county."

"Besides, grasshoppers are meat too. At worst, we can just braise them less."

Li Shanghai sighed again, "This is the only way now."

"I'll go to the county and ask if they can still sell us some of the pig offal if we take less every day."

Hu Zi just came back from outside and saw Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai standing under the wall chatting.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Hai, what are you guys talking about here?"

"Are you telling me some secret while I'm away?"

Li Shanghai didn't answer but pointed to the three bicycles in the yard.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Huzi, just look at these three bicycles. It will be so stylish to ride them to pick up the bride the day after tomorrow!"

When Hu Zi turned around, he saw three bicycles parked side by side. The corners of his mouth were pulled to the back of his head due to his smile, and the word "happy" was clearly written on his face.

"Brother Yuan, I still have some red cloth left. I'll ask grandma to make three big red flowers and hang them on the bicycle."

He couldn't wait to pick up the bride!

……

In the evening, the three families gathered together and set up two tables.

Chen Yuan looked at the wedding character on the kang and asked, "Huzi, I haven't been home these past two days. How is your house being cleaned?"

"Have you bought everything for the wedding?"

Hu Zi nodded seriously, "Everything is ready. I don't have many relatives here, and those who live far away won't be invited."

"There will be no sitting in the temple tomorrow. I will invite you, the village chief, and Aunt Chunhua and their families the day after tomorrow."

After a pause, Hu Zi chuckled again, "But I'll have to trouble Brother Yuan and Brother Hai to go with me to pick up the bride the day after tomorrow."

“It’s all just a small matter!”

……

On the day of Hu Zi's wedding, Hu Zi took Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai and set off in the late night.

The three of them rode their bicycles for more than three hours before reaching Majiagou.

The girl's family rarely interacts with her relatives because of their background, and only a few close relatives come to help.

Ma Hongying was wearing a red sweater and a velvet flower on her head. She sat nervously on the kang, waiting for the bride to come.

Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted, "The bride is coming!"

"Hey, they came on three bicycles!"

"Oh my god! This is so impressive!"

"The Ma family really found a good son-in-law!"
