Chapter 308 It’s Done
The Chen family was very satisfied with the girl introduced by Sheng Xiping and Wang Jianshe.
Xu Xiuxiang was so happy that she insisted on letting Chen Weimin go to the store to buy some cans or something and come back to add some dishes, but Sheng Xiping stopped him.
"Auntie, don't be in a hurry now. If Wei Guo and that girl really get married, it won't be too late for Auntie to offer wine to thank the matchmaker."
In this way, after persuading Xu Xiuxiang to sit down and eat, Chen Shiliang dragged several young people to drink a few more drinks.
After a while, everyone was full and full, and Xu Xiuxiang quickly sent Chen Weiguo to the venue to inquire.
Sheng Xiping and the others didn't leave either, so they stayed at Chen's house to hear the news.
After a while, Chen Weiguo came back and said that it was a coincidence that the field leader was going to report to the bureau tomorrow.
As soon as Wang Jiachuan heard that Chen Weiguo was going to meet someone, he immediately agreed and took the Chen family with him.
"Uncle, aunt, since it is decided that you will go to Songjianghe tomorrow, then we won't delay here and go home quickly.
I still have a wild boar at home that has not been skinned and deboned, so I will eat and drink at your home. "
It was getting late, so Sheng Xiping and others got up to say goodbye.
Their mission has been completed, and the rest depends on whether Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan have this fate. Neither of them can make the effort, and there is no point in staying. They should go home.
The Chen family's couple tried to persuade them to stay to no avail, and finally sent them out of the gate and watched the children leave with their own eyes before returning home.
After re-entering the house, Xu Xiuxiang hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets and found the new set of clothes that Chen Weiguo had made for the New Year last year.
If you want to meet someone, you must dress neatly and not make people laugh.
After that, Xu Xiuxiang discussed with her husband how much money they would bring to buy something for the woman.
If this turns out to be true, we have to prepare a meeting ceremony and so on.
This guy is so busy for Xu Xiuxiang that he wants to dig out all the money in his family.
On the other side, Sheng Xiping and others went home.
"What's going on? Are you going to protect Weiguo?" As soon as Sheng Xiping entered the house, Zhang Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him and asked.
"Well, as soon as I heard that Jianshe's sister-in-law didn't want anything, I thought about introducing her to Weiguo. I think these two people are quite suitable."
Sheng Xiping took a look at his mother's attitude, and then thought about it. He left his work at home and went out to propose marriages to others. It's no wonder that his mother didn't look good on him.
"You, you, you look like you are mature and steady, but in fact you are still a fool.
In order to introduce cousin Li Xue to Wei Guo, you got involved in the affair between Wei Guo and Liu Hongxia?
How bad would it be for this to spread? If the Liu family finds out, it would be strange if they don't scold you. "
Zhang Shuzhen couldn't hold it back and rolled her eyes at her son again.
The quarrel between the Chen family and the Liu family was so fierce that it had already spread throughout the forestry farm. Although Zhang Shuzhen didn't go out, she also heard about it from others.
After Zhang Shuzhen thought about it, what else didn't she understand?
It must have been his son who went to Chen's house and said something, and then the affair between Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia became so bad that there was such a fuss.
Later, when Chen Weiguo and Wang Jianshe's sister-in-law fall in love, others will know what's going on when they think about it. When the Liu family knows what's going on, shouldn't they curse?
"Tch, the old Liu family is nothing, am I still afraid of him?
He deserves it. Who told Liu Da Ming to always think about making things difficult for Qing Lan? "
As a teacher at Maekuan Primary and Secondary School, Zhou Qinglan also could not escape Liu Da Ming's request for advice.
Liu DaMing came to see Zhou Qinglan three times in total. The first two times, Zhou Qinglan accurately read the pronunciation of the words and also said the meaning of the words.
Liu Da knew that he could not embarrass Zhou Qinglan. He went back and looked through the dictionary for many days and found a particularly complicated word.
Zhou Qinglan didn't recognize it this time, and the pronunciation of the word was wrong.
But knowing that Liu Da was very capable, he told people everywhere that the new substitute teacher in the school was not good enough.
If we still teach students like this, isn’t that delaying all the students?
Just for this reason, Sheng Xiping had to cause some trouble for Liu Dabai.
What's more, Sheng Xiping and others couldn't stand the fact that their lion was so open-mouthed that it was difficult for Chen Weiguo to put forward such harsh conditions.
If the marriage gets messed up, it will be ruined. If the relationship between Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia is indestructible, it is impossible for them to just say something and it will be ruined.
Therefore, Sheng Xiping didn't feel guilty at all. It was a good time to get involved in the crime, and Chen Weiguo could escape from the sea of misery, so as not to end up like his previous life.
"You, I don't know what to say about you day by day." Zhang Shuzhen sighed helplessly.
"Okay, pack up and go back to the house to go to bed. Today you have to go hunting in the mountains again and be a matchmaker. It will keep you busy."
After all, Zhang Shuzhen still feels sorry for her son.
"Where are those porks? Haven't they been picked up yet? I happened to pick them up while the forest farm still has power."
Sheng Xiping turned around and looked around the room. Why didn't he see the pig?
"Why do we have to wait for you to come back for that little work? Your father has already finished cleaning up the second child.
Keep the meat from the basket alone and feed it to Huahua when the time comes. We will cook the rest at home.
I have kept the pig's trotters and everything else, waiting for Qinglan to give birth and stewed her milk, so you can rest assured. "
Now that the pigs have been brought home, who can't do it just by skinning and picking off the bones?
When Sheng Xiping heard this, he thought, well, it's nothing to do with him, so he should hurry back to the house to accompany his wife.
He had to lead a team up the mountain the day after tomorrow. He would be gone for several months, and his wife was giving birth to a baby. He didn't know if he would be able to make it back in time.
In the west room, Zhou Qinglan was not asleep yet. She was sitting in front of the desk with a big belly, writing and drawing, busy preparing lessons.
Sheng Xiping entered the room, Zhou Qinglan heard it and did not look back.
"Have you just come back? Did you leave the Wei family to eat? Go and wash up quickly. You smell of alcohol all over."
Sheng Xiping didn't listen, but walked behind Zhou Qinglan, stretched out his arms and hugged Zhou Qinglan from behind.
"Qinglan, my good wife." Sheng Xiping buried his face in the crook of Zhou Qinglan's neck and murmured.
"What are you doing? Are you coming back here after drinking too much and acting crazy?"
Now, Zhou Qinglan couldn't continue writing. I could only put down the pen, raised my hand and touched Sheng Xiping's face and forehead.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Let me make you some tea?"
Zhou Qinglan thought that his man drank too much and felt uncomfortable, so he hurriedly got up to pour him water and make tea.
"It's okay, wife, there's nothing wrong with me, I just want to rely on you for a while."
Sheng Xiping refused to let Zhou Qinglan get up and still hugged his wife and wouldn't let go.
When Zhou Qinglan heard this, he immediately laughed, "What are you relying on me for? I'm not afraid of making people laugh.
In two months, our child will be born, but you are like a child, still relying on me. "
Zhou Qinglan said this, the smile on her face deepened, and she touched Sheng Xiping's temples and cheeks with her backhand.
Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, he just hugged his wife, smelled her good smell, and gently kissed her neck.
Zhou Qinglan trembled, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Sheng Xiping away, "Don't be ridiculous."
As he spoke, he stood up and turned around to glare at Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping just felt a little emotional when he thought about the miss between him and Zhou Qinglan in his previous life because of Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia. Originally, he had no other ideas.
But when he saw his daughter-in-law blushing, ashamed and angry, Sheng Xiping suddenly laughed.
He held her in his arms, leaned over and kissed his wife's cheeks and lips, "I will go up the mountain the day after tomorrow. I will be gone for several months. Don't you miss me?"
On the morning of the 31st, Wang Jianshe accompanied Xu Xiuxiang and Chen Weiguo to Li Xue's mother's house in Songjiang River by taking a bus from the forest farm.
I met Li Xue’s uncle Zhao Shucheng and Li Xue’s cousin Zhao Juan.
Zhao Shucheng has led his daughter Zhao Juan to live in Li's house for several days. Li Xue's parents also asked a matchmaker to help introduce a partner to Zhao Juan.
But right now, most of the young, unmarried guys in the bureau are working as educated youth in various forest farms.
Those who have been recruited as workers, regardless of whether they are tall or short, ugly or handsome, are always in demand. I don’t know how many people are watching, so what is Zhao Juan doing?
So Li Xue's parents have been busy these days. They have found several matchmakers, but they all said to wait and find them slowly.
You can slowly find local girls. Where can I find Zhao Juan?
The two of them can't always live in the Li family. What's the point? So Mr. Zhao Shucheng and his wife were a little anxious.
Just at this time, Wang Jianshe led Xu Xiuxiang and his wife here, saying that they were the ones to introduce to their cousin Zhao Juan.
When the two parties met, hey, they still knew each other.
When Zhao Shucheng and Zhao Juan went to Qianchuan Forest Farm with the Li family, they met the family in the yard next door and had a good impression of the Chen family.
Xu Xiuxiang was very particular about her work. She bought a lot of things to go to the Li family just to give the Zhao family a good impression.
With the kindness of Wang Jianshe and the Li family, and the good impressions both parties have on each other, this meeting went very smoothly.
Xu Xiuxiang asked the Zhao family directly what conditions they wanted, but the Zhao family still said the same thing as before.
As long as they live a good life and treat Zhao Juan well, they don't care about anything else.
Xu Xiuxiang also told the story of her family, and said that if Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan got married, the Chen family would use the west room as a new house.
After waiting for a while in two years, the forest farm may divide the houses. Even if the houses are not divided, you can still apply for a homestead and build several houses.
After all, the Chen family has many children. When Weimin and Weiren grow up and marry their wives, it will be impossible for the whole family to squeeze into the two-and-a-half-room house.
At the same time, Xu Xiuxiang also said that the Zhao family is so far away from their hometown in Shandong, so engagements and other events will definitely not be possible.
If the Zhao family agrees, the Chen family will give a gift of 100 yuan, and then discount the engagement gift into 30 yuan, all of which will be given to Zhao Shucheng.
As for the wedding stuff, the Chen family has prepared everything, so the Zhao family doesn't have to worry about it.
With this condition, even marrying a local girl would be enough, and the Chen family expressed their utmost sincerity.
Over there, Li Xue's mother, Zhao Shuhua, called her brother and niece to another room to ask the father and daughter for their opinions.
What else can you say about this? Chen Weiguo needs to be tall and decent, and he needs to be able to do what he wants as a young man.
Not to mention the Chen family, they look like a well-to-do family at first glance, and they don’t run into trouble. Where can I find such a good family if I miss it?
In this way, the Zhao family father and daughter nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Now, Zhao Shuhua and Wang Jianshe were very happy.
At noon, Zhao Shuhua prepared a sumptuous meal and called back Li Shuhai, who was working in the unit, to have a few drinks with Chen Weiguo and Zhao Shucheng.
At the wine table, everyone discussed and decided that on the next day, November 1st, Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan would be engaged. After the engagement, the two people went directly to take photos and get their marriage certificates.
The day after tomorrow, Zhao Juan followed the Chen family back to the Qianchuan Forest Farm, waiting for Chen Weiguo to come down from the mountain during the twelfth lunar month to hold a wedding for the two of them.
There is no other way. Who told the Zhao family to be so far away?
Although Zhao Shuhua is Zhao Juan's aunt, she still has her uncle here after all. Life is tight for every household these days, and it is impossible for the Li family to keep Zhao Juan for food and lodging for several months because they cannot afford it.
Now that she has received the certificate, Zhao Juan is a member of the Chen family, and it is reasonable for her to live with the Chen family.
After getting married, sometime in the next spring, the young couple will go back to their hometown, move Zhao Juan's household registration to the forest farm, and then follow the Chen family to receive red cards.
In this way, the marriage between Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan was completed at lightning speed.
The three families of Zhao, Chen and Li were all very happy, as a major matter had been solved.
On the 1st, Xu Xiuxiang and her son came to Li's house with two pieces of cloth, a pair of shoes, and two pounds of wool.
In front of the Li family, he gave Zhao Shucheng one hundred and thirty yuan and gave Zhao Juan a watch.
Xu Xiuxiang prepared that watch several years ago, just waiting for her son to get married to a girl.
Xu Xiuxiang felt uncomfortable with the conditions proposed by the Liu family before, so she never took out her watch. It just so happened that she gave it to her daughter-in-law this time.
Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan got engaged smoothly. They went to the bureau photo studio to take pictures, and then went to the bureau's civil affairs department to get their marriage certificate.
On the morning of the 2nd, Zhao Juan followed the Chen family, mother and son, and Wang Jianshe, and the four of them left the Li family to catch the train.
Before leaving, Zhao Shucheng quietly gave his daughter fifty yuan and asked her to keep it in her pocket and not take it out.
When my daughter gets married, she has to keep some money in her hand, and she can’t live without a penny.
Chen Weiguo went to Songjiang River and brought back a slender and beautiful daughter-in-law. The news spread quickly throughout the Qianchuan Forest Farm faster than the wind.
The other side of the Liu family also heard about it, and the angry Liu family woman cursed at home, and Liu Hongxia couldn't stop crying.
At this time, all the forest farm employees went to work in the mountains. Liu Da knew that he had not retired yet, so he would definitely have to go to the mountains.
There was no man in the family to make the decision, and the Liu family's mother-in-law didn't dare to go to the Chen family to make trouble, so she could only swallow this sigh of relief.
Chen Weiguo returned to the forest farm and immediately set off for the mountain, leaving Zhao Juan to accompany Xu Xiuxiang and the Chen family.
Xu Xiuxiang discussed with Zhang Shuzhen and settled Zhao Juan in the old house of the Sheng family, living with several female educated youths and eating at the Chen family.
This Zhao Juan is indeed a person who lives a good life. During the day, she goes to Chen's house, does laundry, cooks and everything, and does everything at home and abroad. Xu Xiuxiang finally enjoys the blessing of being a daughter-in-law.
The younger brothers and sisters of the Chen family also have special respect for Zhao Juan.
In the Chen family, there is laughter and laughter every day, and life is enjoyable.
On the other side, after Sheng Xiping and others held a swearing-in meeting for the winter sports production on November 1, they took the commuter bus to this year's mountain farm.
This year's mountain farm is located in the same logging area as last year, and the area is more than twice that of last year.
According to this year's logging plan, the four work teams drew lots to select their respective operating areas.
At the same time, the idle tractor must be extracted.
Sheng Xiping was lucky. The forest he picked was good, with a lot of mature wood and no particularly steep terrain.
But the tractor was taken away by a work team.
In this way, this year's educated youth team is mechanized and works together with oxen and horses.
The educated youth team was assigned seven pairs of oxen and horses to sledge, and the members of the large alkaline farm worked as tenants and were responsible for feeding the animals.
Sheng Xiping discussed the operation plan with several key members of the educated youth team, and arranged the tractor at a section far away from Lengchang, and the cattle and horse harness working area at the near end, so as to maximize work efficiency.
After that, Sheng Xiping did not start working in a hurry. Instead, he led his people to simply repair the tractor roads and sledge roads in the logging area to ensure the smooth transportation of the logs to the greatest extent.
When Chen Weiguo, Wang Jianshe and others came back, logging started.
Wang Jianshe, Guo Yongping, Yu Shuaijun, and Chen Weiguo have received their certificates through training over the past few summers, so this year the educated youth team does not need to find additional saw hands and tractor drivers, and can work on their own.
A group of young men in their twenties, working hard with all their strength, wanted to compete with other work teams to see which team produced more.
