I saw that there were big red flowers hanging on the bicycles of Chen Yuan and the other three, and there were gifts tied to the back seats.

Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai followed Hu Zi and moved the things into the Ma family in front of everyone.

Hu Zi had a stack of red envelopes in his pocket, each containing one cent. The money was not much, but it was for good luck and to give the Ma family enough face, so that everyone would know that Ma Hongying had married well.

Everyone took the red envelopes and poured out words of congratulations as if they were free.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Oh my, what a perfect match!"

"How come there's not even an old man here to pick up the bride? What's the matter with three young men coming?"

"..."

Originally, if this kind of thing was not brought out in the open, people would just gossip about it behind the scenes. But now that it has been brought out in the open, it seems that Hu Zi doesn't care that much about Ma Hongying.

Ma Hongying's parents' smiles froze, and they explained awkwardly, "Hu Zi's family has few relatives, and grandma is too old for her to come."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Hu Zi's nervous forehead. He didn't expect it to be such a Shura place.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan stepped forward and handed out red envelopes with a smile, "We and Hu Zi are sworn brothers. If we have any difficulties, just ask for help!"

"When my sister-in-law marries into the Wang family, she won't have to endure the wrath of her parents-in-law. Life will definitely be like this..."

Ma Hongying's mother looked at Chen Yuan with gratitude. If it weren't for the young man's quick reaction, the situation would have been really frozen.

After everyone heard this, many aunts showed envy on their faces.

……

Apart from this little episode, the bride-picking process went very smoothly. Hu Zi held Ma Hongying's hand and helped her get on the bicycle.

Hu Zi looked calm on the surface, but only he knew that his heart was about to jump out of his chest!

"Hongying, sit tight. If you feel uncomfortable later, call me!"

Ma Hongying blushed and nodded, whispering, "Okay!"

Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai looked at each other and burst into laughter.

……

On the other side, Sun Weiwei and her people were waiting at the village entrance to pick up the bride.

When he saw three bicycles coming, he immediately ordered everyone to light the firecrackers, and the sound of the firecrackers was deafening.

"Let's pick up the bride!"

"Here comes the bride!"

"..."

Hu Zi was riding in the front with Ma Hongying on his back, followed by Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai who were riding with Ma Hongying's parents.

The three bicycles drove straight towards Hu Zi's house. Feng Ailian was already waiting at the door wearing new clothes.

At that time, every family was having a hard time and there was no banquet. Everyone watched Hu Zi carry the new bride into the house, then left with a smile.

No one in Chenjia Village had expected that the Wang family would be so grand in marrying off their daughter-in-law!

He immediately sent three bicycles to pick up the bride, and gave a betrothal gift of eight yuan and eighty-eight cents!

"You're right, Hu Zi isn't very good-looking, but the wife he married is quite pretty! It's just that her family is too far away, so she won't be able to help much in the future."

"Oh, if I had known that the Wang family was so generous in marrying a daughter-in-law, I would have introduced them to my relatives!"

"Eight dollars and eighty cents, plus a washbasin and a kettle. This is really a big deal!"

"Who says it's not true? There are several beautiful girls in our village, but in the end we found one as far away as Majiagou!"

"People have high standards and don't like it!"

"..."

Ma Hongying's parents had been smiling since they entered the door.

They could see that the Wang family valued Ma Hongying, and they felt relieved.

There are two tables in the yard.

Hu Zi and Ma Hongying held their wine glasses and went to Chen Zhide's table first to toast.

"Thank you, village chief, for taking care of me and my grandma. We respect you!"

Chen Zhide was in a good mood today, so Huang Shufen didn't stop him and let him drink a glass of wine.

"Good boy, now that you've married and started a family, you should be more calm than before, okay?"

"Hey!"

After toasting everyone, Hu Zi raised his glass and smiled at Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai, saying, "Thank you, brothers. I won't say much, it's all in the wine!"

Chen Yuan smiled and picked up a bulging cloth bag from the ground and handed it to Hu Zi.

"This is a small gift from your sister-in-law and me. We hope you will be together forever and live happily ever after!"

Chen Yuan didn't know what to give, so after thinking for a while, he asked Gou Wa to buy two blankets. He kept one for him and Sun Weiwei, and the other for Hu Zi as a wedding gift. It was just right!

Li Shanghai curled his lips and jokingly said, "Huzi, tell me, is Brother Yuan trying to embarrass me?"

"I've had someone make you a carved chest of drawers. It should be almost finished. Huzi, you have to come with me to move it in!"

Hu Zi agreed with a smile, feeling happy.

After the banquet, Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai offered to send Ma Hongying's parents back home.

"Uncle, aunt, Dahai and I will take you back!"

Ma Hongying's parents waved their hands, smiled and refused, and insisted on walking back.

Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai helped clean up the yard before leaving.

The next day at noon, Hu Zi took Ma Hongying to Chen Yuan's house.

"Brother Yuan, I'll bring Hongying over here to help her get acquainted with the route."

Before Chen Yuan could make a move, Sun Weiwei said with a smile, "Come in and sit down. I just want to have a chat with Hongying's sister-in-law!"

After saying that, Sun Weiwei pulled Ma Hongying into the house, leaving Chen Yuan and Hu Zi in the yard.

Chen Yuan waited until the two entered the house before asking, "Have you told your wife?"

Hu Zi shook his head and whispered back, "I'm thinking of keeping it a secret for a while. I have to go to the county every day to deliver rabbits to the state-owned restaurant anyway."

Chen Yuan sighed and patted Hu Zi's shoulder.

"Before you got married, Dahai and I didn't tell you because we were afraid it would affect your mood."

"The county has been cracking down on this recently, and the meat processing plant doesn't dare sell us any pig offal."

Their business can be regarded as "the late emperor's business collapsed before it was halfway completed."

Hu Zi looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief, "Doesn't that mean our braised pork offal business will have to stop?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and shrugged helplessly.

"However, we don't need to be too sad. After this period of time, maybe everything will be fine."

Hu Zi lowered his head, thought for a long time, and then asked, "Brother Yuan, do we still need to farm this year?"

Chen Yuan reached out and flicked Hu Zi's head, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"Although we don't need those two work points, we can't really skip collective labor. If I label you a parasite of the commune later, you'll behave yourself!"

Hu Zi scratched his head and thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true.

If you are labeled as a commune parasite, you will be paraded through the streets as a negative example.

"Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. Let's just take it one step at a time! I'll just follow you guys!"

Chen Yuan didn't expect that Hu Zi would come to his senses so quickly. He had prepared a lot of words of comfort for him!
