Chapter two hundred and fifty six months
In fact, only Ye Lin knew that Jiang Yuan was not worshipping, but awe.
Time flies, and winter comes in a blink of an eye. It should be said that it is just beginning to winter.
Ye Lin closed the door for a whole day that day, and there was no way. Uncle Jiang's son got married, so Ye Lin had to go.
After talking to Uncle Jiang that day, Ye Lin found some time to talk to Jiang Yuan.
Ye Lin didn't persuade him, just saying how difficult it was for his parents. If he got married, his wife could at least help the family and reduce the burden on his parents.
I don’t know if I think Ye Lin is right or if he respects Ye Lin too much, he agreed anyway.
Now, I’ve booked it in summer, and I’ve held a wedding just now in winter.
In the city of the 1960s, marrying a wife and picking up the bride with two or three permanent bicycles is considered a grand show.
But maybe none of them belongs to their own, and they are basically picked up.
The bride was picked up by a bicycle until the 1970s.
Except for the bed, the dowry is loaded with a hand-pulled truck, the rest are all picked by a strong man with his shoulders and carried by him. The bride rides a bicycle (when the road is close, it is the most fashionable to pick up the bride with a bicycle at that time), and the "driver" is the bicycle owner.
In the city at that time, it was difficult to borrow six bicycles in an alley, and many of them were borrowed from nearby alleys.
At other times, the owner of the bicycle usually does not lend it, but knowing that the other party is picking up the bride, he usually borrows it commonly known as getting happy.
The bicycle that picks up the bride is best to be the famous brand "permanent" and "phoenix". You should know that the "permanent" and "phoenix" in this era are no different from the "BMW" and "Mercedes-Benz" in later generations.
Uncle Jiang doesn’t need to worry about bicycles at all, Ye Lin takes care of it all.
The fat man had already gone to the military academy at this time, so Ye Lin did not look for the fat man, but asked his younger brothers to come over.
Ye Lin’s younger brothers have not been admitted to university and are now unemployed at home, just waiting to assign jobs.
Anyway, they had nothing to do, so Ye Lin asked some people to come, but Ye Lin didn't call many people, so he let twenty people come.
Similarly, twenty bicycles came, and they were all new bicycles or Phoenix's, all provided by Ye Lin.
Originally, Ye Lin wanted to get a few more cars, but Uncle Jiang refused. In Uncle Jiang's words, this is too high-profile.
Ye Lin thought about it and it was fine, but he couldn't be too high-profile. He used twenty bicycles to get married, and it was a Phoenix brand. I guess there weren't many in the entire imperial capital.
This is because Uncle Jiang’s family is a poor peasant for three generations, otherwise Ye Lin would prepare at most three for him.
The new wife was quickly taken back. To be honest, the new wife and her family were willing to marry into Uncle Jiang’s house.
Because Uncle Jiang’s family is better, let’s put it this way! At least it is many times better than the new wife’s family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to get married here just after I made a reservation.
Throughout the 1960s, the betrothal gift for proposals was four yuan and the betrothal gift was two kilograms of candy.
Uncle Jiang didn't deduct that. Not only did he give him a 16 yuan betrothal gift, but he also prepared a four-color gift.
The four-color gifts are four kilograms of candy, four kilograms of snacks, four bottles of wine and four kilograms of meat.
This is simply unimaginable in this era. You should know that many families may not be able to eat four kilograms of meat a year.
Of course, these are all supported by Ye Lin, otherwise Uncle Jiang would not be able to get these tickets even if he had money!
Especially meat and sugar tickets, dim sum does not require tickets, but wine also requires tickets. And what Uncle Jiang gave him was not an ordinary Erguotou, but Yanghe Daqu.
This wine costs more than one yuan per bottle, and you also need a wine ticket when buying it.
And in this era, newcomers wear clothes as usual, just as simple as they are.
Not only that, there is also a popular "four one project," that is, a double bed, a thermos, a washbasin, and a spittoon to get married.
In this era, marriage has to be done simply and in a low-key manner.
Moreover, love and marriage in this era have been given a lot of revolutionary colors.
There was a portrait of Grandpa Mao hanging in the middle of Uncle Jiang’s house, and there were couplets sent from the street hanging on the wall.
It says: "Entrepreneurship and family building, and you will be at thirty years old..."
Jiang Yuan and his wife were wearing the same clothes as usual and a big red flower on their chest.
At the beginning of the wedding, a couple respectfully bowed to Grandpa Mao’s statue.
Then the comrades from the street gave warm congratulations, and the comrades who congratulated them all used the show to cheer them up, some sing and some danced.
Finally, the wedding ended with the bride and groom singing "Good Socialism" chorus.
At this time, marriage is usually held at night because it is used to do revolutionary work during the day, that is, to go to work.
There is basically no wedding banquet. Most people who ask helpers to eat a bowl of noodles, and two eggs must be placed in the noodles.
Of course, this is a common phenomenon. Uncle Jiang has prepared a wedding banquet because Jiang Yuan is the eldest of their family. Of course, the eldest brother can't get married casually.
Because Uncle Jiang has a son! He wants to show it to others and let others know the conditions of his family so that the children can find a wife.
Of course, Uncle Jiang, an honest man, couldn't think of this, and it was basically done by Ye Lin.
Of course, it was also approved by Uncle Jiang. If Uncle Jiang disagreed, nothing Ye Lin said would be useless.
In this era, the same emphasis is on the participants, at least 2 cents, at most 2 yuan, and at most 50 cents, the whole family can have a meal of meat and vegetable seats.
However, the table in this era is very simple. Buy some pig heads, put the pigs in water, stew them with cabbage, add some fat and skin when boiling cabbage, and put these two on one end of the table and put two kilograms of bulk white wine, which is a squash.
It looks very simple, but in this era, there are a few companies that can be made. I won’t talk about the pig’s heads. How many people can buy pig heads?
To be honest, if it weren't for Ye Lin, let alone pig heads, even Uncle Jiang would have no place to buy pigs.
These pigs were given to Uncle Jiang by Ye Lin, and they didn't have any money at all. No matter what, Uncle Jiang has done so long for him, so it's not natural to give this little thing.
In addition to those who are at home, there are also gifts for gifts. The gifts are mainly three major items, washbasin, thermos, towels or quilts.
Of course, in addition to these three items, there are also Grandpa Mao’s badge and plaster statues, which are like Grandpa Mao went to Anyuan.
Of course, Ye Lin also gave gifts, and gave everyone the gifts given by him, such as washbasins, thermoses, towels, quilts, seals, and plasters.
Not only that, Ye Lin also gave each newcomer a red envelope, and each red envelope was filled with 66 yuan and 66 cents, representing the success of 66.
In addition to these, Ye Lin also gave the newlyweds a bicycle and a Phoenix bicycle, but only one. This was Ye Lin intentionally. If there were two, one should ride one, and one could carry it.
To be honest, Ye Lin really doesn't care about a bicycle.
It's not worth much money. Compared to the money that Uncle Jiang has earned him over the years, it's just a drizzle, and it's not even a drizzle.
Of course, this is just Ye Lin’s idea. Uncle Jiang’s family doesn’t think so. He is grateful to Ye Lin! It makes Ye Lin very uncomfortable.
Ye Lin did not stay for dinner, Uncle Jiang understood this very well. The dishes he cooked today were rare in the eyes of others, but Ye Lin didn't eat them at all.
There were so many people, he couldn't just do it for Ye Lin, so Ye Lin left after the wedding.
The twenty little brothers he brought were also left with Ye Lin.
Without these twenty little brothers, Ye Lin would not leave even if he didn't eat, but with them, Ye Lin had to leave.
Twenty young men, how much food should I eat! There was not a lot of food prepared, so there was no way, so Ye Lin could only take them out to eat.
Ye Lin took his younger brother out to eat and didn't say anything.
At Uncle Jiang’s house, everyone left after the banquet. This is not something that happened in later generations, and they still had a new house, which is not allowed in this era.
Uncle Jiang's family sat in the main hall to take stock of the total amount of money they spent and how much they collected.
"Dad, the gift is 173 yuan and 20 cents in total." Jiang Yuan handed the money to his father.
"You can keep the money yourself! You two have just gotten married and there are still a lot of things that need to be bought with money."
How could Uncle Jiang care about this little money? He has made a lot of money with Ye Lin over the years. Although he has not sold grain for this period, he has made a lot of money before.
Hearing his father say this, Jiang Yuan was about to put away the money.
At this time, the bride hurriedly said, "Dad, we don't need to buy things, you should take the money!"
After the bride said that, she took the money from Jiang Yuan and handed it to Uncle Jiang.
"No, you'll take it!"
"Dad, we really don't need it. There are younger brothers and sisters at home. There are many places that require money. You can keep this money and use it for younger brothers and sisters in the future."
If Ye Lin was here, he would definitely pat Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and say, "How is it? Are you a good wife?"
"This..." Uncle Jiang was a little hesitant.
"Dad! That's it! We can't spend much money now." The bride put the money directly into Uncle Jiang.
"Okay, if you need money, tell me."
"Dad, we don't need it. Jiang Yuan has a job. Although his salary is not much, it's enough for us to eat at home."
"Why is it so much money?" Mother Jiang asked at this time.
When Mrs. Jiang thought, it would be good to charge a few dozen dollars, but she had no idea that it would be more than a hundred.
Uncle Jiang thought for a while and said, "It should be that Ye Lin gave it more!"
"Well, parents, Ye Lin gave two red envelopes, one red envelope of 66 yuan and 66 yuan, and these two red envelopes are more than 130 yuan."
"So that's the case! I said it couldn't be so much!" Mother Jiang nodded.
"Not only that, these meat, vegetables, and wine were sent by Ye Lin." Uncle Jiang said with a wry smile.
