In the evening, I was not in a hurry to deliver things to Wang Jianmin.

The next day I went to school and brought two little guys to school. He also went to school by himself.

Teacher Yang's class.

"Now the school has ten places to join the group. After the get out of class is over, I hope the students in the class will write the application for joining the group."

The people at the bottom were talking.

Join the group!

This is an honor, but the ten places are definitely for those with good grades.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and Chu Yanyan, who ranked first and second. If nothing else, it should be these two people.

Others are just running along.

Zhou Xiaochuan saw the eyes of everyone, and he knew in his heart that he would not have his own share of joining the group this time.

Joining the group now is not like later generations. Before the graduation of junior high school, more than half of the school can join the group. Just pay.

Joining a group at this time is not much easier than joining a university in later generations. Not only must the grades be good, but also consciousness, progress in thinking, and good obedience.

To put it bluntly, listen.

I always ask for leave, I have a fart quota.

However, the application still needs to be written. If you don't write it, you will not be enough of consciousness and your thinking will not progress.

After a few days, the results came down, and there were 3 places in my class.

Zhou Xiaochuan, Chu Yanyan and Zhang Fan who finished third.

As soon as this result came out, Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised. Should not be ah.

"Zhou Xiaochuan, come with me."

When the get out of class was over, the head teacher shouted at him.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan followed.

When I came to the office, other teachers had just returned to the office.

Teacher Yang put his class notes on the table, and said to him earnestly: "Zhou Xiaochuan, logically you don't have a quota for joining the group this time, but the teachers considered your family's special circumstances, so in the end you still give I got you a place. I hope to go to high school or university in the future, and stop being so slack."

Although Zhou Xiaochuan didn't care too much about joining the group, he was still very moved.

Not everyone can think for you.

Zhou Xiaochuan quickly assured.

But after a few days, when Zhou Xiaochuan asked Chu Yanyan to ask for leave on her behalf, Teacher Yang almost dropped the teacup on the table in anger.

"Dead wood can't be carved..."

Fortunately, it's Sunday, so it's not too much.

After returning from school in the evening, Zhou Xiaochuan rode his bike to the vicinity of Wang Jianmin's house.

The house is an independent yard with 3 houses.

He wandered outside for a while but did not go in. There were many people inside, either neighbors or relatives who came to help.

Didn't say hello to anyone.

After confirming that Wang Jianmin could see him, he left.

Wang Jianmin, who was busy inside, saw Zhou Xiaochuan outside, greeted the people next to him, and followed him out of the yard.

When he came to an alley, Wang Jianmin chased him from behind.

When he came to the place, he looked around, and when he saw no one, he asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan handed him the bag in his hand, "10 catties of pork and 5 catties of loose wine."

Wang Jianmin was surprised when he heard the words, "So many?"

"A lot? Don't you want a hundred and ten pounds? I'm not capable."

"Hey, I'm just joking." After Wang Jianmin said, he opened the bag and took a look.

"I won't say anything hypocritical. Thank you, brother. I'll settle it with you when the money comes."

"Okay, go back quickly, the family is still busy. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he left on the bike.

Wang Jianmin's shout came from behind, "Don't forget to come tomorrow."

"understood."

The sound came, and the car was already far away.

Wang Jianmin looked at the figure of Zhou Xiaochuan leaving, and then looked at the bag in his hand.

Sigh lightly.

In the past few years, if Zhou Xiaochuan hadn't helped to get food, his family would have been really sad.

Carrying things back to the yard of his house, he handed the things to his mother.

"Mother, this meat will be burned tomorrow."

"Yeah, where did you get so much meat?" Wang Jianmin's mother opened it and asked in surprise.

The aunt who came to help was also surprised.

Wang Jianmin shook his head. Carrying the wine jar, he returned to the main room.

Wang Jianmin's father shouted beside him, "Where does all this nonsense come from?"

"If you can't do it, I ask my son what's wrong."

After speaking, he snorted, but did not ask any further questions. Packed with a few people there.

When Wang Jianmin's father returned to the main room, he didn't ask any further questions, he just looked at the wine on the table happily.

The next morning, it didn't go too early, and the locomotive crew shouldn't go too early either.

After sending the two little guys to school, they stayed at home for a while before heading towards Wang Jianmin's house.

When I came to Wang Jianmin's house again, there were already a lot of people.

A red paper cut Double Happiness is attached to the gate and window pillars.

I came to the local yard and placed two tables, one in the main room, and two more in the other two rooms.

The remaining room is the wedding room.

The tables are all Baxian tables, but the old and new ones are different, and the stools are also large long stools, which should be borrowed.

The yard was very lively. Wang Jianmin was not there. He was greeted by a man in his twenties, probably a cousin or a cousin.

Seeing him say hello, he let him do whatever he wanted.

Zhou Xiaochuan saw Guo Tuozi and his party sitting in the yard at a glance, and walked straight over.

"Uncle Guo, Master Chen, Master Li, Uncle Lei..."

"Xiao Chuan is here, sit down." Guo Tuozi nodded and said.

After a round of greetings, he sat next to Wang Weidong.

Then he looked at the other party and asked:

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

Wang Weidong is no longer in the textile factory and was transferred, but he did not ask about the specific position.

"I'm resting today too. The leader is fine today, so I'll come here too."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

There is a plate on the table at this time, with some candy melon seeds and peanuts in it.

But the amount is not much, only a small amount per person.

But this is no longer easy. So many people.

"Where's Jianmin?"

"Going to pick up the bride, but it should be almost there. It's eleven o'clock."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, he had to enter before twelve o'clock to pick up the marriage, otherwise it would be unlucky.

Wang Weidong looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and asked strangely, "What are you looking for?"

There are so many people here, and he is embarrassed to say it, so he can only ask in a low voice, "Who do you give the money to?"

He's looking for someone to give the gift account, shouldn't there be a gentleman holding a writing brush to record how much money was given to whom?

Hearing this, Wang Weidong smiled and said, "You mean to make a share, right? You can just give the money to Master Guo at that time, and then it's fine to count your share."

"Don't give Jianmin money?"

"Hey, no, we've already bought things, mirrors, sheets, pillow covers, quilts, warm pots, and washbasins. It's more than one yuan per person, and you can give it to Master Guo at that time. "

Zhou Xiaochuan heard the words lightly, he didn't understand, he just did what others did.

He is also more curious about the weddings of this era, the previous rural wedding was not a complete one.

In this era, falling in love must be reported to the organization, and marriage must be approved by the unit. And I have to go to work tomorrow.

Where is the term for marriage leave?

And wedding gifts are really cheap these days.

"Twenty-four legs.", a bed, a table, four chairs. That's it.

The dowry is only twenty-four dollars. and three suits.

8 yuan for Bazi Tian, ​​8 yuan for betrothal gifts, 8 yuan for drinks, and three sets of clothes (one set for spring, one set for summer, and one set of cotton jackets for winter)

Just one month's salary is enough.
