Reborn 80s

Chapter 102
When a car was parked on the concrete dam in the village's storage room (a place used to store farm tools and the like in the past), it really attracted the attention of many people.

After all, the countryside in the 80s was quite closed.

It's not that the news is blocked, but...

How should I put it, now few rural people leave the countryside to go out to work hard, and all their thoughts are put on the one-third of an acre of land they just allocated.

They all want to farm well and fill their stomachs.

As for other things, I don't have that kind of thought.

We had to wait until someone left the countryside and came back after earning money. At this time, it suddenly dawned on everyone that going out to work is more profitable than farming.

The power of example is endless.

At that time, a large number of surplus rural laborers entered the city to contribute their strength and sweat to the development of the city.

When these people get old and can no longer do their jobs, they return to the countryside.

Liu Yuqi ran home and called Liu Shigao and Guo Birong, followed by her third sister Liu Xinran.

All three of them were wearing brand new coats, which had just been put on temporarily. It was time to meet their son-in-law, so they couldn't be sloppy.

Chen Huaiqing: "Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."

Liu Shigao said cheerfully, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Guo Birong: "You guys are tired after driving, let's go, go home and have a rest first."

Liu Yuqi whispered to Liu Xinran, "This is brother-in-law, isn't he handsome?"

Liu Xinran glanced at Liu Yuqi strangely, brother-in-law is brother-in-law, what is the necessary connection with handsome or not?

Liu Xiyan interjected, "Dad, Mom, take these things back first. Brother Qing and I have to go to Chenjiagou."

Guo Birong watched Liu Xiyan take things out of the car with big bags and small bags, and couldn't help but smile: "That night, come back for dinner?"

Liu Xiyan looked at Chen Huaiqing, what is the next arrangement?
Chen Huaiqing: "I won't come back for dinner tonight."

"Okay. Will you come back tomorrow?"

Liu Xiyan: "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Guo Birong couldn't help but rolled her eyes, what are you talking about.

Liu Xiyan gave Liu Yuqi a look and asked her to tell her parents that she was coming back to hold a banquet this time.

The banquet must be held on the man's side, and on the woman's side, wouldn't it be a marriage!

Therefore, what should be prepared at home must be prepared quickly in the past few days.

Liu Xiyan has already given Liu Yuqi the money and so on.

Chen's house is only two to three ten minutes away from Liu's house.

But if you want to drive there, you have to take a long detour. You have to go on the county road first, and then make a detour before you reach Chenjiagou.

Chen Huaiqing drove, and Liu Xiyan showed the way.

Chen Huaiqing seemed to sigh and said: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I can't find my way home here."

Liu Xiyan: "It's okay, I'm here!"

……

In the courtyard dam of Chen Shunzhang's family, a card table was set up at this time, four people were playing mahjong, and there were more than a dozen people sitting on the side to set up a Longmen formation. The peanuts and melon seeds should be eaten casually.

This set of mahjong is the only set of mahjong in the entire production team.

Chen Shunzhang bought it for me.

In normal times, if someone on the team wants to do something, they will definitely come to him to borrow mahjong.

Chen Shunzhang is also generous, use it, it's okay.

I bought this mahjong just to play it well.

"Hey, everyone, look, there is a small car parked at the opposite door."

"Is there a relative in that house who can afford a small car?"

Chen Shunzhang didn't play mahjong at this time, he was setting up a Longmen array with everyone.

His elder brother was sitting on the poker table.

Chen Shunjun likes to play cards. Now he is a retired worker. He receives retirement salary every month. When he is free, he goes to the village to find someone to play cards.

In the countryside, everyone fights small.

Chen Shunzhang looked at the person who got out of the car. He was far away, and the person was behind his back. He couldn't look carefully, but no matter how he looked at his figure, he looked like Chen Huaiqing!

When Liu Xiyan got off the car, Chen Shunzhang patted his leg: "Brother, Qing Wazi came back with his wife."

Chen Shunjun was thinking about what to play when he heard Chen Shunzhang shout, "What is it?"

"Chen Huaiqing is back."

Chen Huaiqing is back!

The nephew is promising, so when Chen Shunzhang comes back, he must publicize it well.

Our old Chen's family is completely stunned now.

Chen Huaiqing and Liu Xiyan walked halfway along the aisle of Tian'an, where the paddy field was stored, and they were greeted by the crowd.

"You old man!"

When Chen Huaiqing saw that Chen Shunzhang was a little older, but he and Chen Shunzhang looked like brothers at a glance, he knew that this person must be the big old man Chen Shunjun.

Earlier, Chen Shunzhang had sent a telegram saying that Chen Shunjun had retired and returned home.

"Big old man!"

Chen Shunjun's face was full of smiles: "Okay. Let's go first."

Seeing that Chen Huaiqing came back with his wife Liu Xiyan, the others also left one after another.

They must have something to say, what a group of outsiders are here.

Although it is said that everyone's surname is Chen, the blood relationship between those generations has long been weakened.

Chen Huaiqing said directly: "Old man, old man Yao, when I come back this year, I want to organize the banquet."

Liu Xiyan and the female family members of the Chen family went to the kitchen. Now outside, there are only Chen Huaiqing, Chen Shunjun, Chen Shunzhang and Chen Shunjun's second son-in-law.

Chen Shunzhang: "I said long ago that the banquet will be held. How long do you plan to hold it?"

Chen Huaiqing thought for a while: "I did it a year ago, is it too late? I'm in Yuzhou, and I still have a lot of things to do."

Chen Shunjun said: "New Year's Eve is only a few days away!"

Chen Huaiqing smiled: "I'm in a hurry, let's see if I can ask more people to help, and I don't need to set up too many tables, just a dozen or twenty tables will do."

"A dozen or twenty tables. In our production team, there are only a dozen tables. The Liu family has relatives, so we have to prepare about thirty tables."

Chen Huaiqing: "Then prepare 35 tables, prepare more, and spend more money."

Chen Shunzhang joked: "Qing Wazi is now the big boss, so the tone of his speech is different."

Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "Money is for spending. When hosting a banquet, you only have one time in your life. I don't want to be blamed in the future. Anyway, I only ask for one thing, and I am not afraid of spending money."

Chen Shunzhang took over the matter: "Don't worry, baby, you and I will definitely handle this matter for you comfortably (well)."

As Chen Huaiqing's elders, they are the only ones to worry about his affairs.

Chen Shunzhang was also impatient, so he invited the chef from the village to dinner on the spot.

While eating, while discussing.

On the second day, Chen Huaiqing drove them to the county town together in a car. If he had money, he would buy what should be bought directly. Don't think about whether it is expensive or not, but whether it is necessary or not.

What is the price of three, there is no need.

Anyway, when I went out, there was only one car, and when I came back, I followed a truck.

On the morning of the third day, Chen Shunzhang accompanied Chen Huaiqing to visit the grave.

Starting from the grave of the old ancestors of the Chen family, we went all the way to the grave of Chen Huaiqing's father, Chen Shunqiang.

Standing in front of the grave, Chen Huaiqing didn't speak, but bowed earnestly, and silently burned more paper money.

If it is true that there is knowledge under the spring, don't blame me, I don't know how to cross over.

If you want to blame, blame God!
Besides, although the soul is not your son anymore, the body is still, and I will marry the daughter-in-law you appointed, and after giving birth to a child, it will still be the son of the Chen family...

There seems to be a paradox here. Is the child his own now, or his own before?
Don't think too much about this philosophical thing, the more you think about it, the more your head hurts.

Chen Huaiqing: "Old man Yao, I want to repair the graves of my father and grandfather with stones, and erect a monument."

There is no monument in front of the grave. After decades, who knows who is buried here?
Chen Shunzhang didn't mention the money, and agreed wholeheartedly: "After the Chinese New Year, I'll find someone to get it."

They don't have many things here, only rocks.

Large and small quarries are everywhere, some are being mined, and naturally there are many abandoned quarries.

Nowadays, when building a house by oneself, some stones are mined to make the foundation.

As for selling?

How to transport is a big problem.

A stone can easily weigh tons, and a car is necessary for long-distance transportation.

Year of the Jiazi, rat, December [-]th, good marriage.

After three days of emergency planning, the wedding banquet for Chen Huaiqing and Liu Xiyan was finally ready.

Chen Huaiqing felt that he belonged to a marionette, and he sent gifts to Liu's family early in the morning. There were quite a lot of things, and more than a dozen people picked them up to send them over.

In Liu's house, Liu Yuqi was fiddling with the camera, and Liu Xinran was on the sidelines.

Naturally, Chen Huaiqing bought the camera, a film camera. Chen Huaiqing bought it specially before he came back, just to record the present moment.

There was no marriage or anything like that, and I didn't leave a bad impression on the children. Everything went smoothly.

Chen Huaiqing, who was wearing a black down jacket and Liu Xiyan, who was wearing a red down jacket, looked like a golden boy and girl, and the one next to the table was toasting.

Today's Liu Xiyan has put on makeup and hair flowers on her head, she is so glamorous.

Looking at Liu Xiyan whose smile never faded, Chen Huaiqing could feel her heartfelt joy.

To put it bluntly, holding this banquet was not for himself, but for Liu Xiyan.

She is happy, no doubt the most important thing.
