Chapter 515: Grow Again in the Wind and Rain
When they returned to Xigui, the sun had already set. Because the next day was Monday, the two of them did not go back to Datang and walked straight to No. 10 Shunzhong Lane. When they just reached the intersection, they suddenly stopped.
One's phone rang.
When he saw it was an unfamiliar Chengdu number, Mu Yi's first impression was that he wanted to contact the photo studio about something. He quickly pressed the connection button. The voice coming from inside was actually a familiar Xigui accent. It turned out to be the consignment of two people.
The stuff just arrived. Someone from the Xigui Freight Department called to pick it up.
This is really good news. They quickly stopped a human-powered tricycle and rushed to the freight department opposite the post office. When they arrived at the freight department, they carefully checked the outer packaging and found no signs of damage or extrusion. They thanked the shipper.
We called two human-powered three-wheelers. Each person took one or two, hauled part of the goods, and paid the master double the price. We successfully moved everything back to our residence.
The two of them disassembled the computer box and checked that there was no problem. Then they assembled it and started the inspection. Everything was normal. Then, the most important thing was to take out the invitation and fill it out.
While Jin Lily was boiling some noodles, Mu Yi took out his "Record of Favors" and sorted out the guest list. Before they were sorted out, Jin Lily had already cooked the noodles. The two of them picked the noodles directly into bowls.
Then he scooped out the appropriate amount of noodle soup, put in a little salt, a little soy sauce, and a little vinegar, and had dinner happily. Then he continued to sort out the list and fill out the invitations. It was late at night. Mu Yi did not let Jin Lily stay up late, and asked her to go first
Go to sleep. Mu Yi continued to work until late at night, and finally wrote the invitation.
After writing the invitation, Mu Yi washed his face with cold water and continued to think about the problem. He was still worried about one thing, which was to arrange the vehicles for the float and the wedding convoy...
After dawn, Jin Lily went to work with her invitation. After Mu Yi sent Jin Lily away with the invitation, he walked straight to the cigarette shop at the intersection and bought a Ziyun cigarette.
When he arrived at the unit, he sent invitations and a pack of Ziyun to each leader. This made the leaders joke. "Mu Yi, don't increase the cost."
Mu Yi smiled happily. Then he told the leaders about his difficulties. Everyone helped Mu Yi come up with ideas and solutions. The vehicles for the welcoming team were quickly put in place. However, the floats were difficult to implement because,
Unless there is a special relationship, most people will not lend their cars to others as a float. Although there are many other cars to choose from, Mu Yi promised Jin Lily that he would use a Hongqi car as a float for her.
However, Xigui's Hongqi sedans are very rare. There are only two of them.
Mu Yi still thought of his Yi friend Ajie. So he found Ajie and sent him an invitation. At the same time, he told him that he needed to find a Hongqi car as a float. Unexpectedly, Mu Yi hadn't spoken yet.
Ajie spoke.
"Brother, it's all up to me." This was a big help to Mu Yi. The two agreed to install the float in front of the flower shop at nine o'clock in the morning on June 30th. After the float was finalized, Mu Yi had nothing to do.
Finally, he felt relieved. When he returned to his work, Mu Yi was ready to ask for leave from his boss and go from house to house to entertain guests at relatives' houses.
At this time, a problem arose. Mu Yi had not yet served as his guest. Master Hong stepped forward to serve as Mu Yi’s guest.
The director of the Red Army specially gave Mu Yi a mobile leave. If there are non-emergency matters that must be handled by Mu Yi, Mu Yi can not come to the office to work and go about his own affairs first. He also arranged for Master Hong to have important missions in addition to the unit, otherwise
They all tried their best to help Mu Yi, including using the car. Mu Yi was a little too stubborn and asked to put some gas in the car. The leaders said that if it can’t run a tank of gas, there is no need to refuel, and there is no need to calculate it so clearly. If it is really necessary to calculate
, the unit still doesn’t know how much overtime pay it owes Mu Yi. However, you must pay special attention to safety when using the car.
Mu Yi and Master Hong agreed to arrange the treat on weekends, and then separate the areas for the relatives who needed to treat. Then the two of them planned a scientific route to avoid unnecessary mistakes as much as possible, improve efficiency, and strive for two days or three at most.
The guests have been invited by the day.
Just on Friday, my father also came back. When Mu Yi got home, he was dumbfounded. There was no movement in the decoration of the house. And the wedding was only less than ten days away. So a big quarrel was inevitable.
.
Quarreling is hurtful. But if the quarrel can help solve the problem, then the quarrel is still worth it. This is what Mu Yi comforted himself. Quarrel usually does not solve the problem, but this quarrel solved the problem. Mu Yi's
Father promised to decorate the house before marrying Jin Lily. In fact, it would be one day to do the basic work, half a day to lift the ceiling, half a day to lay the floor or lay the floor tiles, one day to putty, and half a day to change the wires and install the lights.
Three and a half days is more than enough. Then three days for the cement floor to harden, and one week is completely enough.
After the quarrel, Mu Yi shamelessly asked his mother for a list of relatives she wanted to visit. In fact, Mu Yi had different opinions on the treat list provided by his father and mother. However, Mu Yi no longer had the energy to continue.
There was a quarrel. They also listed some relatives who had basically no contact with each other. Once they were listed, they could only treat guests as ordered...
Master Hong followed Mu Yi to treat guests, but he was rejected, looked down upon, and turned around a lot. In order to meet the "standard" of being invited "in person", some people made at least three trips. If this was the case,
If I took a taxi, the fare alone would probably cost dozens of yuan!
A simple treat allowed Mu Yi to see through the harshness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human relationships. However, Mu Yi's father and mother seemed not to have seen through it yet.
After the guests were invited, they had to worry about the "gifts" and the helpers, as well as all the banquet matters. Mu Yigna really couldn't sleep at night and was exhausted mentally and physically. He lost a lot of weight in just half a month. Finally, thanks to the help of his relatives and friends
, have all been implemented one by one.
Those who help in the kitchen, those who cook, those who set the tables, those who make smoke and wine, those who make drinks, those who make chopsticks and bowls, those who serve food, those who add soup and rice, those who clear tables, those who recycle empty wine bottles, those who wash dishes, those who wipe
Those who set the table, light the fire, carry water, set off firecrackers, pick up the bride, accompany the bride, purchase, keep, keep accounts, and protect... Mu Yi drew up a very detailed plan.
How to borrow tables and benches and how to return them? Write the name of the owner on the back of everything borrowed and register it so that it can be returned easily. Steamers, stoves, bowls, plates, quilts, etc., everything that can be rented can be rented so that it can be returned easily.
.
I was busy completing these tasks and planning the wedding route. The motorcade started from the door of Jin Baihe's house, and it was only a little over two kilometers away from Mu's family. Following the highway to Datang Primary School, you can branch off and go directly to the door of Mu's family, which is the closest
route. But it cannot achieve the purpose of "showing off". The other route is to continue from the primary school to Datang Street. At the T-junction in the center of Datang Street, drive along Xinshi Street towards Dama Township and drive to Xinshi
At the end of the street, turn up and drive towards the entrance of Mu's family. This route basically completes the run of Datang Street, and it can be considered as almost half a circle around Watang Village.
Finally, this "half circle" route was chosen. Mu Yi took the car from Jin Baihe's house to Mu's house, and from Mu's house to Jin Baihe's house several times. The time was measured at a lower speed. This was done
In order to control the "time" as accurately as possible and to prevent anyone from sabotaging it, Mu Yi also specially found a few trusted relatives and arranged for them to guard several key intersections half an hour before the convoy arrived on the wedding day.
, in case there is a traffic jam or other accidents that force the wedding car to stop. Because the rule of Xigui is that once the wedding car starts, it cannot stop. It is unlucky if it stops.
Therefore, Mu Yi had to consider all factors. Everything must be under control. He even secretly organized some good brothers. If someone maliciously sabotages, everyone will take action when it is time to control the situation no matter what.
Including inviting several police officers to wear uniforms and have a wedding banquet on that day, in order to achieve a deterrent purpose.
Mu Yi sent Xiaojie to Chengdu to retrieve the photo album.
During this period, Jin Baihe's family proposed that the Mu family give 40,000 yuan as a bride price when they "celebrate gifts". Then Jin Baihe's family gave 40,000 yuan as a dowry. The purpose was that each of the parents would give 40,000 yuan, and then Mu Yi would receive another 40,000 yuan.
The gift money of 20,000 yuan. This adds up to almost 100,000 yuan, which is basically enough for the young couple to buy a house in the county. Mu Yi’s father originally disagreed, but Mu Yi and Jin Lily both said to Mu Deqian,
Knowing that their father's bottom line is 20,000 yuan, the two of them don't want his money, as long as he gives 40,000 yuan to Mu Yi to "cover people's eyes", and waits for Jin Baihe's family to add 40,000 yuan to the dowry of 80,000 yuan.
, the two of them immediately returned the 40,000 yuan to him. Mu Deqian agreed.
But on the day when the gift was about to be given, Hai Wanqiu reminded him, "What if Mu Yi and Jin Lily hold the money in their hands and don't give it back to him?" Mu Deqian thought about it for a while, and then regretted it.
This important situation cannot be concealed from Jin Baihe's family. Otherwise, something big will happen. Mu Yi can only honestly apologize to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
In fact, Jin Chongming didn't want to give Jin Lily 40,000 yuan as a dowry, because deep down in his heart he still felt that his daughter was an "outsider". But after he said it, he still wanted "face". Since Mu Deqian regretted it, he also
It happened to be downhill. So Jin Lily had no dowry. Fortunately, Zhang Xuefen felt sorry for her daughter, so she gave her 10,000 yuan and asked her to buy some dowry herself.
Everything was ready. Mu Yi and Jin Lily suddenly discovered that one of the most important things was missing - a bed. They hurriedly went to the furniture store to buy a bed and a mattress. Considering the dining table of Mu Yi and Jin Lily's home,
It was a bit shabby, so the two decided to buy two dining tables and eight stools, and then give one set as a gift to their parents. Finally, they considered that they also needed a computer desk and chairs, so they bought a set of computer desks and chairs.
After the purchase, they went to buy appliances next door to the furniture store. Considering the need to save money, face, and convenience in their future life, the two of them only bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. Then in order to save money on renting a truck
.So they discussed with the seller of electrical appliances and asked them to deliver the goods at two o'clock in the afternoon on the fifth day of the lunar month. The two of them paid 50 yuan for the travel expenses to the boss, and asked them to deliver the goods to Jinjia Avenue first, and then bring the mattress with them.
On the way, they joined the wedding convoy and were sent to Wattangmu's family. The boss readily agreed to their request. The two then asked the furniture store to load the bed, mattress, table, bench and computer desk and chair into the car. They casually took a ride back to Datang.
The car arrived at Jin's main road, and after unloading the mattress, table, bench, computer desk, chair, and two bedside tables at Jin Baihe's house, it drove to Mu's house and unloaded the bed.
On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, Jin Baihe's family had already set up four stoves in the courtyard to "help". Tomorrow will be her family's "nine bowls", the Mu family's "help" and "marriage", and the day after tomorrow will be
The "nine bowls" of the Mu family are the "back door" the day after tomorrow.
Mu Yi, together with the entertainer, matchmaker and brothers and friends, came to Golden Lily carrying twelve thousand yuan of gift money divided into four stacks for good looks, a slaughtered pig, and other "gift" items.
The family successfully completed the "Gift Gift" task.
Mu Yi, who returned home, was fully looking forward to tomorrow. However, in the evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and soon it became windy and rainy, with heavy rain falling, and there was no sign of stopping. Soon, accumulation accumulated in the dam of Mu's family yard.
The water covered his ankles. This made Mu Yi very anxious.
Mu Yi didn't even use an umbrella. He took off his shoes and went barefoot, so he ran out of the house to look for bamboo poles to clear the blocked electric pole "culvert." It was cleared, but it was soon blocked by the mud from the courtyard wall that had fallen from the rain. Mu Yi
We could only keep dredging it... Just as it was getting dark, the courtyard wall next to my fourth uncle's house was hit by the rain. The mud wall and the stones on the top of the wall were all blocked in the courtyard dam. The water was very heavy.
The accumulation soon reached the calf area. Mu Yi could only ask his father, Xiaojie and Brother Jun for help.
Everyone braved the rain to help Mu Yi. But the rain was really heavy. After a while, their clothes and pants were soaked through. Father, Xiaojie, and Brother Jun didn't want to do anything in the rain anymore. Mu Yi was anxious
I yelled at them. However, it had no effect. They went back to the house. What if they caught a cold? My father even said unpleasant words and curses...
At that moment, Mu Yi's inner world collapsed. He looked up at the sky and let the rain ruthlessly wash away his tears...
However, even if everyone in the world gave up, he couldn't give up. Because tomorrow he was going to marry Sayuri. There was still his blood in Sayuri's belly. He secretly swore to God that he would always love Sayuri.
Well, always be good to your child. Whether he is a son or a daughter, he will do his best and devote everything he has to training him and helping him. Even if he sacrifices his own life, he will not hesitate.
Perhaps God had mercy on Mu Yi, and the rain gradually stopped being a violent storm and became lighter. Mu Yi continued to carry the mud and mud outside the house and poured it into the ground, and picked up the stones and put them on the wall.
There is a stone inside the wall. It is too big and heavy. Mu Yi can't carry it. He can only lie down on the ground, hold the cement road ridge with his feet, stretch his hands flat, and use his body as a lever to lift the stone.
He used all his strength to push the stone to the corner.
After finishing all this, Mu Yi stood under the eaves, took off his soaked clothes and pants, washed them with tap water in a basin, wrung them dry, put them on, and sat on his empty bed in the new house all night. Because the floor was beaten
Ping had already filled in the floor stove, and for some unknown reason, the iron stove used at home was also extinguished. Mu Yi could only use his own body heat to dry his clothes and pants.
Chapter completed!
