MTL - 70s: Dressed As a Villain’s Wife-Chapter 19 wedding first
Xie Mingtu walked over, squatted beside Zhou Heqiang, pointed to a place on the engine, and said, "This is not right."
Zhou Heqiang was interested at this time, looked at him in surprise, and handed Xie Mingtu a tool.
.
Not long after, the tractor that was originally "stubborn and motionless" started to start normally and trembled on the muddy ground.
"All right?"
"Uncle Zhou, have you repaired it?"
“Try it and see if there is any problem?”
The versatile Xie Gouzi.
Su Xiaoman: "…"
But there is no tractor in their brigade.
Seeing Xie Mingtu's familiar attitude, Zhou Heqiang regarded him as a veteran. He had heard of it before, and some people were too familiar with tractors. As soon as they heard the sound, they knew what was wrong.
I didn't expect such a young man in the team who came to study, and he had this kind of ability.
"You young doll is amazing."
Zhou Heqiang asked him: "How many years have you studied?"
Xie Mingtu shook his head.
"You don't say it? Who did you learn it from? Your teacher won't let you say it? If you have such a skill, don't say it sooner, see you are a good tractor repairer, are you also Will it open?"
Xie Mingtu's hand was stained with black oil and oil, he frowned and looked at his palm, "I haven't learned it."
Zhou Heqiang didn't believe him: "Fuck me, haven't you learned it? You just picked it up with a tool and dismantled it, and it was easy for you?"
"Is it disassembled for you?"
Xie Mingtu: "...I learned from you."
The voice, act according to its own speculation.
This is not difficult for him.
"Learn from me? Are you kidding me? You must have learned about tractors for a few years. If the average person doesn't even know how to touch this stuff, I'm an old man who deals with it every day. So just…”
At first, Zhou Heqiang didn't believe it, until he learned from Uncle Chen that there were no tractors in their brigade, he completely believed that Xie Mingtu first contacted tractors.
Zhou Heqiang was immediately amazed, he patted Xie Mingtu's shoulder several times, and his tone was a lot more enthusiastic. This uncle has been obsessed with tractors since the 1960s. Favored, "Hey, this young man, you are talented and talented, but my son can't. He just couldn't learn it and didn't like it..."
"You can learn from me, I'll teach you how to do it..."
This time, Zhou Heqiang, who had a cold face before, opened the chat box and praised Xie Mingtu all the way, causing Su Xiaoman's group to look at each other.
This Uncle Zhou is really a face-changing madman, the contrast between the front and the back is too great.
Once the chatterbox is opened, the country people can chat about anything. Zhou Heqiang also asked about the relationship between Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman, and they seemed to be very close.
Xie Mingtu blinked and did not answer, but turned to look at Su Xiaoman.
"We got married this year." Su Xiaoman didn't have anything to answer.
In the eyes of outsiders, they are a couple.
Zhou Heqiang was a little shocked when he heard the answer, "It's very promising! You are very promising, you married such a beautiful girl."
He looked at Xie Mingtu carefully, then looked at Su Xiaoman up and down, and sighed in a low voice: "Sure enough, he is a hero regardless of his appearance..."
Su Xiaoman: "…"
Su Xiaoman glanced at Xie Mingtu.
What about you, rough dog.
Xie Mingtu was inexplicable: "????"
Although Xie Mingtu didn't quite understand what Su Xiaoman meant, he was very happy and smiled brightly at Su Xiaoman, showing his little white teeth.
Su Xiaoman: "…"
This guy really didn't get saved, he didn't care about his appearance at all, and he didn't have the slightest image burden.
The three of them chatted hotly. After Zhou Heqiang, who was cold-faced before, became enthusiastic, it was extremely eye-catching and caused dissatisfaction with He Liang of the team.
He Liang couldn't see that Zhou He Qiang kept praising Mingtu.
"The country people don't have much knowledge, they just repair a tractor, they have the ability to repair four-wheeled cars in the city, cars, I'm afraid they have never seen a car..."
Jiang Yantang, who was standing beside him, said nothing, and was still recalling what he had just heard.
"We got married this year."
When Su Xiaoman said this, his tone was very calm, as if he was stating the facts, without the coy attitude of a newly married daughter-in-law.
Is she really willing to marry Xie Mingtu now?
When they arrived in the village, Captain Zhou Junyou of the Yongqin production team came to entertain them and arranged accommodation for the eight of them.
"The house at the end of the village now lives in the educated youth."
"It was newly built for the educated youth, and the conditions are not bad."
The Yongqin production team is a relatively well-off production team among several nearby battalions.
"There are a few vacant seats, hey, there are also three educated youths, or if you live there, the conditions there are also good, you happen to be three educated youths, it's a coincidence, let's go, culture There is talk between people."
"One more."
"Let a girl go there, you go." Captain Zhou pointed to Zhang Lili.
"The others live in the members' homes, and some may not be in convenient conditions, so please take care of them..."
Zhang Lili didn't expect Captain Zhou to point to her, she was so happy, which meant that Jiang Yantang, He Liang, Zhao Qingqing and her, the four of them lived in Yongqin The educated youth office.
She has seen the house that Captain Zhou pointed to just now. It is newly built, and the condition is not bad.
The only regret is that He Liang is also among them.
Zhang Lili has sworn in her heart that she will never pay attention to He Liang again. If He Liang pesters her again, she will avenge the revenge of her previous life.
She glanced at Jiang Yantang, who was handsome, and many girls from the Yongqin production team were secretly watching him, and some wanted to come up to say hello.
Zhang Lili looked at Su Xiaoman proudly.
She knew that Su Xiaoman was picky, and she was raised by her parents to be squeamish. Now she is unlucky and can't live in a good house, and she doesn't know what kind of family she will be placed in.
It is always more comfortable to live in an educated youth point.
Jiang Yantang is also allocated there.
"You, hey, this old man, you can stay at my house."
"And you lad—"
"They live in my house!" Zhou Heqiang jumped out of the tractor and pointed at Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman, "The two of them live in my house, and there just happens to be an empty room."
Captain Zhou was shocked, "Brother Wednesday, did you let them live in your house?"
When Zhou Junyou was allocating the house, he didn't think about Zhou Heqiang's family at all, because he knew that Zhou Heqiang had a temper now, and those outsiders who came to the team to study were not welcome.
I never imagined that he would ask for an allocation.
"Are they... a couple?" Captain Zhou was already guessing the relationship between the couple and Zhou Heqiang, and he had not heard of any distant relatives on his side.
"He—" Zhou Heqiang pointed at Xie Mingtu, "This kid is hooked up with me, and tomorrow I will teach him how to make a tractor..."
Captain Zhou smiled, "Then the relationship is good, the couple will live with you."
Captain Zhou thought that there is such a good thing, it seems that this pair of people is lucky, and it has saved him a lot of trouble. He originally thought it would be difficult to mobilize Zhou Heqiang, but now Zhou Heqiang is actually Take the initiative to pick things up.
"Then you drive and show them the fish pond here and the farm at the foot of the mountain."
"You don't know how to drive a tractor? Let me teach you... it's okay to pay for gas, help me do something."
…
In the end, after Captain Zhou arranged for Tang Jianqiang to live in another family with the surname Zhou, the accommodation arrangements for all the staff were made properly.
"You have worked hard all the way. Take a good shower and rest today."
"Xiao Zhang, take them to the educated youth side."
Zhang Lili and other four people followed a flat-headed and bespectacled educated youth named Xiao Zhang to the end of the village. There was a pond in the middle. Xie Mingtu walked to the most magnificent two-story brick courtyard in the village.
Zhang Lili couldn't help but ask, "Whose is that house?"
Little Zhang, an educated youth, looked in the direction she pointed, and answered casually, "That's Uncle Zhou's house, who often helps repair tractors nearby."
"His house is newly built, and it is the most stylish. It has running water, and the toilet is clean and beautiful, and it has white bricks."
Zhou Heqiang's house is also the first in their village. The big house that has just been built has a trendy style in the village. Zhou Heqiang's family is a big family in the village. He has his own skills. He helps people repair tractors, and he can often earn extra money. Sometimes he also helps the public run transportation.
Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu followed Zhou Heqiang to his house. The yard of his house is very large, surrounded by a bamboo fence, a vegetable field, and a lot of fruits and vegetables. Bunch of small purple grapes.
There is a chicken ring in the corner of the west, and several chickens and ducks peck at the vegetable leaves on the ground.
Zhou Heqiang arranged for them to live in a room on the second floor. At this time, the countryside stairs were outside, and the stairs next to the pressure well could go up to the second floor. On the second floor, there were four room, they live in the corner room.
"You live up there."
Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu went up to put the luggage in the room, Zhou Heqiang's youngest daughter Zhou Xiaofeng came in with the quilt, made them a new quilt, and brought a quilt.
Zhou Xiaofeng is about the same age as Su Xiaoman. She has a round face and looks very handsome. She is plump but not fat. say.
"My name is Su Xiaoman, and your name is Zhou Xiaofeng. We both have the word "Xiao", so we have a good relationship." Su Xiaoman talked to her, and she thought this shy, round-faced little girl was very interesting.
She also thanked Zhou Heqiang's family for letting them stay.
Zhou Heqiang's temper looked cold and hard, but his daughter was soft and shy.
After relaxing, she said the words in her heart directly: "Sister Xiaoman, you are so beautiful, you are more beautiful than the most beautiful Xiaohong in our village."
Zhou Xiaofeng felt that Su Xiaoman, who came to her house as a guest, was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, but she was much prettier than her cousin.
Su Xiaoman joked with her a few times, and was called down for tea together. When guests come to the village, they always pour a cup of tea and eat some melon seeds.
Zhou Heqiang has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is married and has children, the youngest son is serving in the army, and now the youngest daughter, Zhou Xiaofeng, is preparing to get married in the past few days, and the marriage is not far away. A family in the same village.
It was also a coincidence that Su Xiaoman and the others came. After they came, it happened that Zhou Xiaofeng's future husband's house came to deliver red silk today, so that Zhou Xiaofeng, the new daughter-in-law, began to make a wedding dress.
The wedding of the youngest daughter is coming, Zhou Heqiang and his wife are very happy, just at this time there are guests at home, chopped a few pounds of pork in the evening, and prepared a table of good dishes for Su Xiaoman and his wife.
"It's coming soon, you can still eat Xiaofeng's wine before you leave."
After taking a bath and lying on the bed, Su Xiaoman had to sigh that this was the most comfortable place she had lived in since the 1970s.
...After all, she only lived in Xie Mingtu's small dilapidated house.
The conditions of the Zhou family are really good. Su Xiaoman thinks that their trip is a public-funded tour.
"That's good..."
"Does Manman also want such a house?"
Xie Mingtu, who was sitting next to her, asked her that there was only one bed in this room of the Zhou family. Because they knew that the two of them were "husband and wife", only a double bed was prepared. A quilt, two people cover.
When Su Xiaoman was lying on the bed, Xie Mingtu sat honestly on the wooden chair by the window.
Su Xiaoman felt that if she didn't call Xie Mingtu on her own initiative, the other party would definitely not approach the bed.
Frozen stupid.
Su Xiaoman put two burdens in the middle to separate them, and hooked his hands to call Xie Mingtu over, motioning him to sleep on the other end, and give him half of the quilt.
"I want a better house than this." Su Xiaoman, who has seen many mansions, is not surprised by this rural brick house. Of course, today's Su Xiaoman Comrades do not have high requirements for houses.
Don't leak rain, don't run into snakes, and the toilet is clean. "It's better to have three floors, a large room, and a garden to grow flowers and build grape racks."
Su Xiaoman closed her eyes and said some of her requirements. After she finished speaking, she felt that these ideas were unrealistic.
In the 1970s, planting flowers is not as fragrant as planting vegetables.
Su Xiaoman closed her eyes and buried herself on the pillow. She felt that she had been conquered by reality. If she really had her own yard in the future, she would still grow vegetables.
.
There is a scent of orchids.
Xie Mingtu closed her eyes and remembered what she just said.
The next day Xie Mingtu got up early and went out with Zhou Heqiang first, saying that he taught him to use a tractor, and went up the mountain together by the way. Su Xiaoman is still staying at Zhou's house. Yesterday, she made an appointment with Zhou Xiaofeng. In the morning, Zhou Xiaofeng took her to Sister Shun's house. Sister Shun is a good silkworm breeder here.
Zhou Xiaofeng told her not to get up too early, she still has something to do in the morning.
Su Xiaoman slept for a while, but no one came to call her. The morning in the village was both peaceful and noisy. She said that the comfort was because she couldn’t hear the noisy people, and the noise was the noise in the yard. few.
Fortunately, it didn't bark too many times. After Su Xiaoman was woken up by the beeping sound, he fell asleep again.
Before she went to sleep, she remembered something she had experienced. She went to play in a friend's villa, which is a suburban villa area. Some middle-aged and elderly rich people have special hobbies. Raise chickens.
As soon as the chicken crowing, every dog barked along, and the owners of a row of villas woke up.
In the end, it aroused public anger and gathered a crowd to kill chickens.
Compared with roosters, people in the countryside love to raise hens. The hens are laying hens. They not only grow meat on their own bodies, but they also lay eggs.
An egg a day is a good income.
After taking a few steps, Su Xiaoman suddenly heard "scolding" and "crying" from the main room.
"What should I do now? How could you be so careless?"
"It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame."
"What are you going to do with this? What are you going to do? Are you so careless with the scissors?"
…
There is a woman's high scolding voice, listening to this voice is Zhou Heqiang's wife Song Yuejuan speaking, and her daughter Zhou Xiaofeng's choking sound next to it.
Zhou Xiaofeng cried and choked, "What should I do?"
Come together this morning and follow her mother to cut the red cloth to make a wedding dress. For convenience, she folded it and cut it together. On the way, her mother appeared and instructed her daughter to use scissors. Who knew what the two planned to cut? The method is different. One pair of scissors on the left and one pair of scissors on the right will cut them into pieces of red cloth of different sizes.
How can I make clothes now? !
Her future husband's Yang family, son Yang Changgui grew up with Zhou Xiaofeng, the two families have a good relationship, Zhou Xiaofeng is also valued by her husband's family, the red cloth sent this time, but the Yang family went to The high-grade fabrics bought in the county are twice as expensive as ordinary fabrics, and now the good silk fabrics have been ruined.
"The wedding dress cannot be made."
"This fabric is not good, and it is sewed in pieces, and it is still slanted. How can it be done?"
"Mom...what's the matter?"
"It's not because you don't have eyes when you cut the scissors, why did you cut this long one diagonally?"
Zhou Xiaofeng was wronged: "Mom, you scolded me just now and told me to act quickly."
Song Yuejuan took a breath: "Why do you blame me, I tell you to look carefully."
"I didn't plan to cut this. If you come, call me to cut it quickly."
…
In addition to attracting Su Xiaoman to the dispute between mother and daughter, one of their cousins who came to visit also walked in and said, "What's wrong? What happened in the morning?"
"It's a good happy event, why did you cut the fabric when you made a dress?"
"Can you save it, change the two pieces, and sew them together."
Song Yuejuan frowned: "It looks good like this? How ugly is a patch for wedding clothes?"
"It's not symmetrical on both sides."
"
Hearing what the cousin said, Zhou Xiaofeng did not feel comforted, but felt even more uncomfortable.
In the past, there were no conditions to pay attention to it. Now I know that the husband's family has sent the best red cloth. She can't put on a beautiful wedding dress. How can she marry into the Yang family? In a village, everyone looked at her, how could she have a face.
"I don't want...I don't wear it."
"I won't marry, I will pay the Yang family."
"What nonsense are you talking about, a good happy event, isn't it just a piece of red cloth, and you haven't married yet, your brother Yang is chilling to hear it."
…
At this time, Su Xiaoman also walked into the main room, and after listening to Zhou Xiaofeng's mother and daughter, she probably guessed what happened.
Su Xiaoman walked to the pile of red cloth, picked it up and used her fingers to compare the size. She had studied clothing design before, although she hadn't made clothes by herself for a while, but she still felt in the hand.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Xiaofeng's figure, and a prototype of clothes suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Xiaofeng, I am good at making clothes at home. If you and Auntie believe me, I will help you make a beautiful red wedding dress."
Zhou Xiaofeng's voice was hoarse, "Now that the cloth is cut, what should I do?"
"If it's not broken, just use these cloths, and I'll help you make a good-looking set."
Zhou Xiaofeng hesitated: "Can you really do it?"
Su Xiaoman smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, come here, I'll help you measure the size carefully, if you wear the wedding dress I made, you will definitely be the best looking bride."
Su Xiaoman in front of her is beautiful, with fair skin and black hair , She said that she is good at making clothes, and she has a natural convincing power.
Su Xiaoman helped Zhou Xiaofeng measure the size, and asked if her cousin had a sewing machine. She and Zhou Xiaofeng brought the red cloth over there. Song Yuejuan stayed at home, and when the Yang family wanted to come over, she also To entertain.
Not long after, the Yang family came, and Zhou Xiaofeng's fiance Yang Changgui also came. Yang Changgui really likes Zhou Xiaofeng, and now he is happily waiting to be the groom and marry his daughter-in-law go back.
"What? Is the cloth cut?" Hearing the news, Yang Changgui was immediately stunned.
"Don't blame her, Xiaofeng, this child is very self-blaming, and has been crying for a long time. Now I think of a way to solve it, I can still make up for it..."
"No!! If it's broken, it will be broken. I'll go buy new cloth now while it's still early."
Marriage is only once in life, Yang Changgui wants her to be the most beautiful bride, and does not want her to be wronged.
