The next day, Mu Deqian made a special phone call to his in-laws, Jin Chongming, at noon. The happy day for Mu Yi and Jin Lily was decided. In the evening, Jin Chongming took the initiative to have a fight with his future son-in-law, Mu Yi.

A phone call. This was the first time he took the initiative to call Mu Yi. The call was very relaxed and pleasant...

When the big day is decided, all the things related to the marriage will follow. No matter whether Mu Yi understands it or not, whether Mu Yi can find someone to ask for advice, he must face and deal with them one by one.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is "chasing festivals".

Regarding the rules of "chasing festivals", Mu Yi not only asked his parents, but also specifically asked Aunt Jin next door in the village. Finally, he and Jin Baihe discussed the rules and went to find Sister Tian to see her.

Opinion.

Sister Tian is also very sincere. "I don't have any objections, and I don't think they have any objections either. You two can just discuss it. We will all help you two to make this good thing come true as soon as possible."

The ancient rules are no longer in line with the current era, but a "gift" that exceeds Mu Yi's financial strength is a bit overwhelming. Therefore, the principle the two of them discussed is to emphasize "rituals" and despise "things".

Although the two of them have standards in their hearts, the "etiquette" should still be indispensable. The first is rice, meat, flour, beans, and oil, and the second is cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, and cakes, none of which are indispensable.

Of course there are new clothes and red envelopes. As for the quantity, it naturally has to follow Xigui's usual "standards", but the two families can discuss it with each other. The most basic thing is to have an even number.

Although there is still more than half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, Mu Yi and Jin Lily are very anxious now because there is no one to help them worry about these things. The two plan to remove the meat and pastries first.

These two things that need to be "fresh" are saved until early in the morning. Everything else is bought and prepared in advance.

Weekends are the best time to prepare. In addition, this Saturday happens to be the second anniversary of the two meeting. So I took the wedding certificate photos in Xuefeng Photo Studio in advance. I asked the Jinshan Township Civil Affairs Assistant to work overtime to help.

The two completed the marriage registration. In this way, the date when the two met was fixed as the wedding registration anniversary.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is just one week away, Mu Yi's unit received a notice from the provincial government to organize coal mine supervision business training. This training is extremely important. It will first conduct a week of theoretical study in Chengdu, and then go to a large coal mining enterprise.

A week's internship with a classmate, plus the time on the road, half a month's time is gone.

"Chasing Festival" cannot be cancelled, because Jin Baihe's family has already spread the news. On the day of "Chasing Festival", which is the day of Dragon Boat Festival, a small banquet will be held at home to entertain relatives, which is similar to "News"

Just like the "press conference", the news of marrying a daughter on the fifth day of June must be spread through this "Festival Banquet". According to Xigui's rules, when marrying a daughter, no invitations are sent out or guests are invited. So there must be such an important procedure. Relatives

Only friends and acquaintances will know the date of the banquet and come to congratulate you.

In this way, a conflict arises. If you want to stay and participate in the "Chasing Festival", you cannot participate in the training. Mu Yi also wanted to take a leave of absence midway when he went to participate in the training, but firstly, the discipline did not allow it, and secondly, it was not realistic.

The main reason is that transportation is inconvenient and it takes too much time to come and go.

Fortunately, the two of them had made preparations in advance and bought everything they needed to buy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know what to do. In the end, the organization came forward to solve the problem. That is, on the Dragon Boat Festival, all representatives from the Work Safety Supervision Bureau were dispatched.

Mu Yi attended the "Chasing Festival".

Mu Yi and Jin Lily also communicated this situation to their families. Jin’s father and Jin’s mother still expressed their understanding and support. They also comforted Mu Yi to focus on work. Regarding the matter of "chasing festivals", just follow what Mu Yi said.

manage.

In this way, Mu Yi went to Chengdu to participate in the training with peace of mind. After checking in, he went to the lotus pond to find his father and explained the situation. So his father made a prompt decision and quickly obtained two train tickets back to Xigui through scalpers. That night Mu Yi

Yi's mother and brother Xiaojie caught the train back to Datang. At the same time, they also brought the clothes that Mu Yi had selected for Jin Lily.

This "Chasing Festival" is so special, because it changes everyone in the village's understanding of "Chasing Festival". Only the heroine appears, and the male protagonist is still an intern in a large coal mine. The man's family "Chasing Festival"

"The team included not only relatives and friends, but also work units. In order to save Mu Yi's face, the leaders of the work units all tried their best to drive there. For a while, several Mitsubishi off-road vehicles were parked on the side of the road outside Jin Baihe's house.

It attracted a lot of people's attention.

Although Mu Yi did not attend, the whole "chasing festival" went smoothly and successfully. After Mu Yi came out of the mine, he called Jin Lily. Jin Lily excitedly reported the whole situation to Mu Yi. That day

, at the dinner party prepared by the mining company, Mu Yi took the initiative to drink several glasses of good wine.

After Mu Yi completed his internship in a large coal mine, he handed his internship report back to Chengdu and boarded the train back to Xigui.

After returning to work, the boss of the unit also told Mu Yi a story about "chasing festivals". The most classic one was that, not to mention the beer, Mu Yi's father-in-law drank all the liquor alone.

Moreover, Mu Yi's brothers-in-law and cousins ​​all surrendered and ran away.

This is really not easy!

Mu Yi's brother-in-law is older, and so are Jin Lily's cousins. There are at least ten or twenty people at home. The jar of old wine weighs at least forty or fifty kilograms. The key is that the alcohol content is still high. And

The leaders and friends of Mu Yi, who are capable of drinking and fighting, are only No. 7 or 8. The "wheel tactics" alone are enough. However, the leaders of Mu Yi's unit and Mu Yi's friends actually have enough temperament.

In the "away game", he actually "surrendered" to the "home field" and won the "combat" victory.

Mu Yi is very grateful for the help from his leaders and colleagues. At this time, the Work Safety Bureau is really warm. Working in such an environment, why can’t we radiate endless fighting power? Therefore, Mu Yi’s work passion is always high.

Yes, work ability has also been improved by leaps and bounds.

Compared with the progress of Mu Yi's love career, Xiaojie's social path is somewhat staggering. The most important thing for him when he came back was to take the civil service recruitment examination. However, Xiaojie, who has been wandering in society for some time, and

I can't really calm down and review.

In his inner world, he wanted to live a stable life after taking the exam, but he also disliked the poverty of a civil servant. Although his job was relatively stable, his life was uneventful and could not be exciting. Therefore, he also wanted to work hard and work hard.

At the same time, he couldn't calm down to practice the boring test. Lian Muyi looked for the information for him and asked him to write an essay a day. After writing, he would think about it and summarize it based on the reference, write again, revise again, and summarize again.

, until you master the writing methods of each subject type, and then realize the way of expression that surpasses ordinary people's thinking, so as to seek to write outstanding articles.

However, Mu Yi's teachings were not recognized by Xiaojie. Repeated mistakes and failures made Xiaojie lose interest in learning. In Xiaojie's heart, his eldest brother Muyi has evolved into a hateful person.

Show off.

In fact, Mu Yi just taught him some of his own experiences. At this time, Mu Yi was still immature. He simply thought that his method would be useful to Xiaojie. However, he had not yet understood the difference between people's thinking.

The styles and behavioral habits are different. Even brothers have different personalities and different life aspirations. Although the path to employment in Xigui is very narrow, there are thousands of paths in this world.

One day, Mu Yi saw that Shangtang Village was undergoing rural power grid renovation. Outside Jin Baihe's house, there was an abandoned cement telephone pole that was broken into two pieces and no one seemed to want it. He suddenly thought that the drainage of the family's courtyard dam was very difficult, especially

The ditch in the courtyard must pass through the gutter under the road at the door before it can be drained into the ditch.

Growing up, Mu Yi thought of many ways but could not completely solve the problem of clogged gutters and collapsed by passing vehicles. Although he also thought of using culverts to solve the problem, due to the impact of economic conditions and road conditions, he did not implement it.

Success.

So when he saw this half-section of a cement pole abandoned on the roadside as garbage, his eyes shone brightly. Where is this cement pole? This is simply a culvert tailor-made for wood.

ah!

Especially when he asked clearly that no one wanted it and it had been abandoned here for several days, it was like finding a treasure. He borrowed a tape measure, ran back to the tile pond to measure the width of the road and wall, and ran

I went back to Jinjia Road and borrowed a hand hammer to knock it out to a suitable length. Then I borrowed a pallet truck and asked my father-in-law, Yu Sange and others to help lift the cement pole onto the pallet truck, tie it up with ropes, and drag it to Wattang's house.

Expand the wall hole and excavate the road surface on the basis of the original ditch. Prepare two wide and thick wooden boards in case a car wants to pass through, and put wooden boards on the house to allow the car to pass through the excavated open ditch smoothly.

Because this small project is actually very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the sludge accumulated in the sewers over the years is also very smelly. At the end of the busy work, only Mu Yi is "fighting". Mu Yi started to work together

Come on, it was really hard work. He was afraid that rain would affect the construction, and he was also afraid that long-term excavation of the road would affect pedestrians and traffic. So he worked non-stop without eating or drinking.

They worked like this until dark. After Jin Lily had eaten, she called Mu Yi several times but no one answered, so she rushed to the Wattang to see what was going on. That day, she saw Mu Yi eating mud and working hard with his nose.

When Mu Yi felt sour, he couldn't help but shed tears. But he quickly wiped away the tears and continued working by shining a flashlight on Mu Yi. When Mu Yi completed the final cement caulking and road backfilling work. Taking advantage of the night, Mu Yi

After going to Xigui River and taking a bath, the two of them returned home and pushed the cart back to Jinjia Road to return...

As the wedding day approached, Mu Yi found that it was really inconvenient to receive relatives and friends who came to attend the wedding. Because the floor of the main room was still original dirt, and the walls were also made of dirt. Although the floor and the floor were covered with newspapers, the

It is old and yellowed, which is really unsightly. The wires in the house are also old and need to be replaced...

When mother returns home, she has to exercise full authority as a parent. Her opinions are actually a bit selfish and rogue. That means that the family is like this. They have lived here for decades. Why did you come to Muyi?

It won't work here. Anyway, the rice is already cooked. If you don't fall in love, who will be embarrassed?

Mu Yi's suggestion is to do some simple decoration of the house, make the roof a suspended ceiling, install gusset plates, replace the aging wires, replace the incandescent lamps with brighter fluorescent lamps, remove the wall coverings and put putty on them,

Make the ground into a cement floor, preferably install some floor tiles, and the most important thing is to remove the earthen wall between the main room and my mother's bedroom, so that the main room can be doubled in size, and can be used no matter where the wind blows.

Basically, four tables and benches can be placed in the rain room, so that relatives and friends can be accommodated when the time comes, and the wedding ceremony can be held in the room. However, my mother does not want to spend money to do this. She also does not want to remove her bedroom.

Since then, Mu Yi and his mother had some unpleasantness.

The mother added insult to injury and complained to the father about Mu Yi. As a result, Mu Yi couldn't explain clearly to his father on the phone. The father was still more inclined to the mother's opinion.

Of course, Mu Yi couldn't spread these words to the ears of Jin Lily and his family. But these remarks and attitudes of mother mother still spread to the ears of Jin Baihe's parents through her friends. This

This made Jin Chongming and Zhang Xuefen very angry. Naturally, they took their anger out on Mu Yi. Sandwiched between the parents and adults on both sides, Mu Yi was like a mouse drilling into a bellows, and like a pig looking into a mirror.

Mu Yi was really helpless and had no choice but to propose that the Nine Big Bowls would not be held in Watang. Anyway, his previous landlord's house was a banquet host. His colleagues and friends were also used to having Nine Big Bowls at the venue.

When people come to Watang Countryside to eat nine large bowls, they still have to drive back.

After Mu Yi put forward his idea, he did not get any desired results, but what he got was a lot of crying and cursing from his mother. He also said that Mu Yi had forgotten his roots and disliked the poverty of the family... His father also said that Mu Yi

This is humiliating myself. The first thing I have to do is to go to the county town. How can relatives and friends in the countryside rush to the city gate to eat nine big bowls easily? Besides, my father also wants to show off in the village...
