Chapter 279 Black socks (please subscribe)

   With a good herringbone ladder, Lu Jianren climbed up a few times, smashing the wall with a claw hammer in one hand and a steel nail in the other. He did these tasks of climbing high and touching low with ease, without any difficulty.

   At the gate, set up a few tables, the largest Eight Immortals table is placed at the gate, and Accountant Li sits on the bench and is specially responsible for collecting gifts and adding them to the account.

Next to   , Li Wenyue's father Li Shan is responsible for keeping the money and giving out candy.

Opposite to   , the second grandfather held a pen and placed a large stack of invitations in front of him. When someone sent a gift money, he wrote the corresponding name, and gave it along with the candy and invitations from Li Shan.

   Now it is much simplified. In the past, invitations could not be given on the spot. In the end, people had to be sent door-to-door on the afternoon of the wedding ceremony to express the sincerity of the host’s invitation.

   Lujia Village is developing towards simplification and facilitation as a whole.

   Young people either go out to work, or work in a company in the village. As before, dozens of people have tossed around for a week, which is not necessary at all.

   It only takes two days to really work like that, and the rest of the time is spent playing poker and gossiping.

   Now the last week is delayed, people take leave to earn a lot less money, and they can't afford to delay work.

  Receive gift money, send invitations, send wedding candy, one-stop service.

  This job is not easy to do, and the master has to be handed over to a serious and responsible person.

   Lv Chun specially warned that the maximum gift money will be 20, and no more than one cent will be given.

  Li Min has some opinions. After all, he has not gone out with money in recent years, but Lv Jianguo knows very well that Lv Chun has a special job and cannot leave a story behind.

   Besides, he invested in a company in the village, and Lv Chun could hardly spend his own money on food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Why would he need more money?

  If you don’t accept human exchanges, it is equivalent to making a bad start in the village, which is definitely not acceptable, it is only for symbolic meanings.

   Near the gift money table, many seniors from the Lu family and Li family sat around several tables, eating sunflower seeds and drinking tea and chatting.

   These are all grandparents, and the younger ones are too embarrassed to come here, pull colorful flags and hang lanterns to post happy couplets, and borrow tables, stools, plates, and chopsticks from each family to cook.

  Sun Qinghai, who specializes in banquets in the village, asked Hongxing to pull a big stove and built a temporary kitchen on the street by the mountain.

  The purchased chicken, duck and fish are temporarily stored in the cold storage in the village, and are temporarily picked up before the fire starts at noon and afternoon.

   The wedding banquet in Lvjia Village, even if it is simplified, has to be arranged for two consecutive days, and it is not the same as the pursuit of exquisite hotel dishes, where the emphasis is on meat.

   Without 70% or 80% of meat dishes, the banquet cannot be opened, and people are not full.

   These days, rural people are short of oil and water in their stomachs.

   Dozens of people work, don’t pursue efficiency, everyone can see the work, even if they don’t know how to do it, they are busy with work.

   Even Lu Jianren, who didn't want to do anything but serious business, brought people to hang lanterns.

  Lu Jiansong came over from the old street, changed into a new suit, wore bright new leather shoes, and his white shirt was spotlessly clean. He really had the attitude of a vice principal.

   When he came to the gate, he moved a large stool and sat on the edge of the gift money table, next to a toolbox, stretched his feet and kicked to the side, and sat on the side with Erlang's legs raised.

   "Second uncle, can I write for you?"

  Lü Jiansong went out with his left leg, from the ankle to the ankle to part of the foot face, all exposed. Because he was not wearing socks, the dark layer of the skin enjoyed the gentle breeze.

  No one answered.

   On the other side, Lv Jianren stood in the middle of the road and picked up a bundle of wire, ready to cut it to make a lantern hook, turned to look for the toolbox, and saw Lv Jiansong, especially the new leather shoes that Lv Jiansong stretched out to this side.

   "That one over there, give me the toolbox!" Lu Jianren shouted.

  Lü Jiansong ignored him, and buried his own jingle a few days ago, who made it up? This is not the lice on the bald head!

   Seeing people pretending to be inaudible, Lu Jianren simply pointed at Lu Jiansong's ankles and shouted openly, "The one over there, the one wearing the **** socks, hurry up and give me the toolbox!"

  For fear that people could not hear or see, Lu Jianren shouted again: "Such new black socks can't get dirty with a toolbox!"

  The surrounding people all looked towards Lu Jiansong, who hurriedly tucked his ankles into his trousers.

   No matter how fast you shrink, many people still see it.

   That dark layer looks like a sock?

   Accounting Li couldn't help laughing and reminded: "Jian Song, how long has it been since you took a shower?"

   "Not long." Lu Jiansong thought it was normal.

  Accounting Li said: "Hurry up, or go back to wash, or wear a pair of socks."

   Lu Jiansong walked back: "I'm going to put on a pair of socks."

  Seeing him walking away, Li Shan said, "If you want to be a teacher, you can't pay attention. There is no distinction between class and farm work, and learning depends entirely on copying textbooks."

Lv Jianren came over to get the toolbox, heard Li Shan's words, and said, "What is this, Brother Shan, you forgot? He was teaching Dongzi and Wenyue to repair the house at the time, and in the afternoon after school, he went to install earth and bulldoze as free laborers. At most, the teacher asks to break a stick, and he is good, creating a teacher's history, and elementary school students become construction workers."

There are some things that everyone sees in their eyes, but Lu Jiansong, who is gone, doesn't care about his father, Li Shan added: "I also asked Dongzi and Wenyue to herd the sheep on weekends, but the two sheep called Dongzi and even scared and beat them. , I haven't lived more than half a month, so I won't find students to herd sheep."

  Accounting Li couldn't help: "The one in my family was called to scatter the onions when they were planting them, saying it was an extracurricular activity."

   After saying this for a while, several people were stunned that they didn't think of Lu Jiansong's achievements as a teacher, only knowing that he asked the children in the class to work for his family.

   Lv Jianren smiled and said, "It's not a junior high school teacher, or I have to rent out students as coolies."

  Iron Rooster swayed over and said, "Junior high school students also have to be coolies! I heard from Lan Lan that the boys in the class have asked the town government to pull out migrant workers and dig ditches for the water pipes."

   "This is different." Accountant Li said: "This is public work, what about Jiansong?"

   Lu Jianren glanced at him: "You don't listen to the radio? Have you changed your mind?"

  Iron Rooster shook his empty wrist: "It's not fixed yet."

   "Didn't you show off Lanlan's part-time job and bought you a new one?" Li Shan asked.

  Iron Rooster was surprised: "Why use the new one if you have the old one?"

  …………

   In the east room where the walls were repainted, Lv Dong was leading Li Lin, Lv Guang and other younger generations to hang photo frames, pull colorful balls, and paste wall paintings.

   "The biggest picture frame hangs in the middle of the bed!"

   Unlike outside the house, where you can only run errands in front of the elders, there are many younger brothers here, and Lu Dong can safely be the commander: "Li Lin, turn to the left, yes! Make a mark! Smash the nails!"

   turned his head back, facing the end of the bed, there was a painting that the second grandfather had finished and mounted a new frame, he glanced at it and said, "Xiao Tao, the center of the painting is aligned with the position where Brother Lin made the mark."

   Lu Tao asked, "Brother Dong, are you ready to hang a picture at the end of the bed?"

   "This is what the second grandfather explained! Doesn't he know more than us?" Lu Dong said: "The second grandfather painted rich and noble flowers, which means that our brother and sister-in-law are rich and noble!"

  Li Lin has been doing renovations this year. He smashed steel nails in a few strokes, and hung up the wedding photo frame with Lu Guang.

   Pulled the colorful **** and hung them under the ceiling of the house. Aunt Seven led a few aunties in, and handed the two doll paintings to Lu Dong: "Hurry up and paste them."

   Lu Dong gave Lu Tao and Li Lin one each, and put them on both sides of the bed, and drew two little boys with bare bottoms.

   Aunt Seven saw that Lu Dong and the others had finished their work, and greeted people to put the quilts in from outside, and began to drive people out: "If you have only daughters and dolls at home, don't stretch out your hands. If you have sons and children, hurry up and cover them up."

   Five or six aunts started working together, and soon the bright red bed was made. An uncle came in to join in the fun, but just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the seventh aunt.

   "Jianming, you who have given birth to two girls can't enter the house!"

   "Yes!" Lu Jianming patted his forehead: "I'm leaving! I'm leaving now!"

   Seventh Aunt called Lu Tao: "Taozi, ask your father to come and press the bed!"

   Lu Tao hurriedly called for someone. Before there was too much meeting, Lu Jianshe, who had both children, came in and, according to Aunt Qi's instructions, rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed on the newly made red bed.

   "Good things come in pairs!" Aunt Qi urged: "Do it again!"

  Lu Jianshe rolled again and then went out.

   Seventh Aunt gave Lu Dong, Li Lin and the others a pocket each: "You guys, put more stuff on the bottom of the bed and under the bedding!"

  Lu Dong didn’t even have to look to know that there were red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds in his pocket.

   A group of boys started to hustle, a lot of stuff was stuffed under the bed, and whoever lay on it would panic.

  Wedding is not only a wedding, but also the expectation of the older generation for having an early child.

  The groom's room, until the bride has passed the door, those who only have daughters at home can't even enter.

  Without a son, at this time there is no human rights and no status.

   are all rural people, big guys also understand, people who only have daughters generally don't come in.

  The sky was getting dark, and the temporary kitchen was busy. There were more than a dozen tables of dishes, and the cold dishes were all helped together. The hot dishes were all cooked by Sun Qinghai alone.

  The master in charge of banquets in the countryside must have the ability to beat the cauldron.

   A table of banquets, standard eight plates and six large bowls, at most three or four cold dishes, and the rest are hot dishes.

   As for pure vegetables, there are usually only two, and the rest are meat-eating hard vegetables.

It is never men who can eat the most at a wedding banquet. Men are mostly drinking, and middle-aged women can eat it. The right to comment on whether the banquet is good or not is always in the hands of these aunts and aunts. Years and ten years later, nothing has changed.
