Chapter 017: Three Turns and One Sound
"When will the third brother get married?" Jiang Yan asked.
Jiang Guoguang smiled and said, "Anyway, I have to see a house in the city next year. The owner will not move out next spring. Including cleaning up the house and some preparations before getting married, it will be almost the same around National Day next year."
Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Third, how much does the house you bought in the city cost?"
The city they call is actually a county town, not the so-called XX City, but XX County.
Jiang Guoguang grinned and showed his white teeth, which made people feel comfortable.
"The house I bought in third brother is not big, only three rooms, and it costs 700 yuan." After that, he looked down at Jiang Yu who was walking beside him, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu also wants to buy a house?"
Jiang Yu was shocked, it was so cheap!
But when you think about the prices in this era, you feel that they are not cheap.
It costs 700 yuan, and it takes seven years for pigs to be raised in rural areas that don’t eat or drink.
What? You want to ask why not raise more heads?
Everyone wants to raise more pigs and make more money, but the key is that you have to have food to feed pigs at home. Do you just feed pig grass for pigs? How many kilograms of meat can grow that year, you still have to mix coarse grains to feed them.
People nowadays have to make careful calculations in their meals, so there is no excess food to raise pigs.
It is good to be able to raise one, not to mention that there are not many pigs in the village. There are less than 300 families, and about 30 pigs are killed, which is only about one-tenth of them.
There was no private economy in this era, and there was no so-called investment. Therefore, rural people like to keep their money in their pockets instead of going to the county town to buy a house and having a place to live. How stupid is it to go to the county town to buy a house? How can you make a living if you go?
"We have six rooms in our house." Jiang Chuan stretched out six fingers and gestured at Jiang Guoguang, "I won't go to the county town."
Jiang Guoguang laughed, "Yes, your house is beautiful."
Their house is indeed very good. Not to mention how much envy the village was when it was first built, it is now the best house in the village. Now many people in the village live in grass-gray houses and thatched roofs.
After helping to deliver the food home, Jiang Guoguang picked up the gourd ladle on the large water tank in the yard, scooped half a spoonful of water and drank it down, and said, "Okay, I should go back to sleep, you should do whatever you should do."
Jiang Yan didn't leave the other person, but he picked two cucumbers from the vegetable bed in the yard and stuffed them into his hands.
"As a helping hand, how can I let you go empty-handed and give you two cucumbers."
"Okay!" Jiang Guoguang took it, rubbed the thorn on the surface with his hands, took a "click" bite, waved to the three of them, and left slowly.
After the person walked away, Jiang Yan looked at her sister, "Xiaoyu wants to live in the city?"
"I don't care about this, I'll live wherever you live." She really doesn't care.
Although almost most people were house slaves in their life, she was not under pressure.
Both grandparents and grandparents were authentic from Beijing. Both families had good conditions. When their parents got married, the housing prices in Beijing were not cheap in their era, but they would never be far away. Therefore, the house they lived in was bought in full.
In the later period, the capital city was demolished one after another, and the parents were all only children in their families. During her college years, she had thirteen properties at home, two older families were demolished, and there were no living in them at all. The rest were rented out. With only the monthly rent, the four elderly people did not need any pension at all, let alone the generous demolition payment, and life was so free.
At that time, my grandmother said that when she got married, she would sell a house and take the money with her.
In fact, the house she lived in later was also bought by herself. Although she was carrying a loan, she had no pressure at all for a million yuan annual salary, who usually only knew how to work or stay at home.
If she hadn't considered living near her unit, she wouldn't even have to buy a house.
Thinking of this, her eyes were a little sore.
The questions I advised myself to avoid countless times still came to my mind.
I don’t know how her body is, whether she is dead or unconscious, or whether she has been discovered, but if her parents know, how sad it would be.
The next morning, Jiang Yu waited until there was no one at home, so she locked the door and went to Jiang Xiuxiu's house.
When I came here, she and Jiang Guoguang were the only ones at home.
Seeing Jiang Yu, Jiang Xiuxiu greeted Jiang Guoguang, pulled her out of the house and went to Aunt Wu's house.
"The person in the county has just arrived for a while. My mother and my second sister-in-law have both gone there. Let's not be too late. I heard that I have brought all the things to come here to get engaged this time, and it's all three twists and one sound." Jiang Xiuxiu's tone was full of envy.
Jiang Yu was confused. What is the three turns and one sound?
I followed her to Aunt Wu's house in the village. Before I got close, I saw that there were many people gathering here, almost all older women, chatting and discussing in a low voice, which was very lively.
The two followed the crowd to the yard. Jiang Yu saw a bicycle with a red ribbon tied in the yard, and a cardboard box with Chunqin brand sewing machine written on it, which was also wrapped in red ribbons.
She suddenly realized that this was what was called three turns and one sound.
These are two turns, and one turns is a watch, and the other sounds is a radio. They are all small objects, so they are naturally brought into the house.
These two big ones are placed in the courtyard, so that everyone who comes and goes through it, knowing that marrying a wife is not a bad treatment, so that people from the woman's tribe can feel at ease when they see it.
They were dragged into the house by Jiang Xiuxiu, and the two of them were just staying in the kitchen. The kang was Aunt No. 4 and Five, Yang Qingqing's family of three, and the one in the county seat was in the office of the supply and marketing cooperative.
This is also the first time Jiang Yu has seen Yang Qingqing. She is indeed very beautiful, but she is not as good as her elder sister. Her skin is a bit rough and yellow, but she is much older than girls of the same age in the same village. And she looks very skillful. If she follows this era's perspective, Yang Qingqing can be regarded as a phoenix in a chicken coop, with a good appearance and good figure.
No wonder he was attracted by this man in the county town.
"Jiang Yu, look from here." Jiang Xiuxiu pulled her clothes.
She leaned over and from this direction, she could see a man in Zhongshan suit with golden silk-edged eyes, looking a little gentle.
After watching for a while, Jiang Yu lost interest and left Jiang Xiuxiu and left Aunt Wu's home by herself.
Looking at today's situation, the marriage should have been completed. Even if you get such a generous dowry, the Yang family will marry Yang Qingqing.
Don't underestimate this, this is the highest standard for marriage in the 1970s, just like the car and house in the later period.
Just looking at these envious eyes in the yard, you will know how coveted this marriage is.
As soon as he left here, he saw He Xun riding his bicycle. After seeing Jiang Yu, He Xun stopped the bicycle with a smile.
"Why is He Gongjian coming?" Jiang Yu didn't know what it felt like when he saw the big bags on the handlebars.
She really wanted to ask directly whether he had any ideas about his elder sister. If not, it would be better not to come, so as not to let the elder sister think about it all day long.
"Last time I came here, didn't you say you wanted to study at home? It just so happened that my younger brothers and sisters couldn't use the textbooks of my family, and they brought you all the review materials." He Xun patted a large cardboard box in the back seat, "No?"
"You want!" Jiang Yu smiled happily, "Thank you, Public Security Bureau."
Seeing that she liked her, He Xun was not in vain. She pushed the bicycle and went to the Jiang family with her.
As for the people behind them who pointed at each other, they didn't care at all.
-------------------
I read the Internet that when we get married in the 1950s, we only need two people to roll up the bedding.
In the 1960s, there were 72 legs, which were about 72 legs, including beds, tables, chairs, etc.
The 1970s are three turns and one sound, let’s talk about this chapter.
The three major items in the 1980s were refrigerators, TV and washing machines.
The three major items in the 1990s were motorcycle color TV air conditioners and the like.
