After leaving Principal Xu's house, Liu Qingshan immediately felt much more relaxed. Facing the prestigious Xu Beard, he felt a little stressed.

But deep down in his heart, he has more respect for this generation. Their persistence in their career and their selfless dedication are really respectable and lovely.

Carrying grandpa on his bike, the ride was bumpy and bumpy all the way back to Jiapigou. It was almost dark.

When Liu Qingshan told his mother the negotiated terms, Lin Zhi's face finally showed a happy smile.

The second sister Liu Yinfeng also said with envy: "Sanfeng'er, how about I study with you at home, and you can teach me English."

Liu Qingshan waved his hand and refused without hesitation.

"Second sister, you are different from me. It's better to be in school. You were just missing the mark originally, but now the tapes are all recorded. As long as you work hard, there will be no problem."

"If I can improve my other subjects a little bit, I might be able to put myself on a satellite next year and get admitted to a prestigious university like Qingbei!"

Speaking of this, Liu Qingshan even thought happily: If that were the case, Principal Xu wouldn't have to stare at him with big eyes all the time, right?

After listening to her brother's analysis, Liu Yinfeng pursed her lips, then used her hand to lift the two braids hanging on her chest and threw them behind her: "Next year, I must be admitted to college!"

"Second sister, I believe in you!"

Liu Qingshan also clenched his fists and cheered.

The fourth child, Liu Caifeng, was not far behind: "Second sister, I believe you too, how about we hook up?"

The two little fingers, one big and one small, are pulled together tightly.

Seeing the perseverance on the second sister's beautiful face, and the cheerful little face of the little old man, the corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth began to turn up.

"Oh, don't get in the way here, I still have to hang up the curtains!"

The eldest sister Liu Jinfeng entered the house holding a curtain pole.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but muttered: "Sister, are you so anxious to marry yourself off?"

Then, he was chased by Liu Jinfeng, who was holding a curtain pole as if he was holding a snake spear of eight feet in length, and ran around the room.

…

As the wedding date of Liu Jinfeng and Gao Wenxue approaches day by day, the whole family becomes busy.

It is even said that the entire small mountain village of Jiapigou became busy together.

Usually, in the village, when marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, it is usually during the winter leisure time.

Firstly, after the autumn harvest, I have some extra money in my hand; secondly, everyone is at home and enjoying the winter, so everyone is relatively free.

There are really not many people like Liu Jinfeng who choose to get married in summer.

But this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. After all, the three shovels and three trips to the field have been completed, and Mai Qiu'er still has about half a month to go, which happens to be the slack time for farming.

Early in the morning, after the villagers had breakfast, they began to walk to Lao Liu's house.

As the saying goes, weddings, weddings, and weddings are not organized by one family, but by a village, and everyone must help with the work.

When I walked to the street, I heard singing in the distance: "Your figure and your singing will always be imprinted in my heart..."

Everyone couldn't help but cheer up: this singing is so beautiful.

Zhang Gangzi, a lazy man, was also mixed in with the crowd. He was not actively working, but mainly organized happy events and could eat and drink along with them.

As soon as he heard everyone discussing singing, Zhang Gangzi suddenly got excited, held his head high and said, "Hey, don't you know, the guy who sings this song is really exciting, he looks like a big star."

"The name is nice too. What's it called? By the way, it's called Nicotine!"

As he said this, Zhang Gangzi slapped his thigh vigorously, looking serious.

In this era of rural areas, there is little information, and some things are inevitably spread by rumors.

However, there were still sensible people in the village, and someone immediately stood up and corrected Zhang Gangzi's nonsense.

"Gangzi, please stop talking nonsense. His name is Li Guyi, and he is a singer!"

The man who spoke was an extraordinary person. His surname was Zhang Lu, and he was nicknamed "Da Zhang Luo".

This person was born with small eyes, thin lips, and was good at talking. If someone had a wedding, a happy event, a big or small affair, he would be the one to help organize it.

Sometimes, he can speak better than captain Zhang Guofu.

At that time, basically every village had to have such understanding people.

Since he is a sensible person, he will of course know more, and scolding a lazy guy like Zhang Gangzi can be said to be as easy as picking it up.

I saw Da Zhangluo's little eyes glance at Zhang Gongzi: "There's also nicotine. Nicotine is a harmful substance in cigarettes, do you understand? Gongzi, I think you're stupid because of smoking, right?"

Zhang Gangzi didn't dare to be harsh with him. He is a well-known guest and cannot be offended. When the time comes, I will avenge my personal vengeance and assign you a hard and tiring job. Who can I ask to reason with you?

A group of people chatted and laughed before entering Liu's house. They saw a brand new tape recorder on the window sill.

Everyone came closer to take a closer look, looking at the magnetic head driving the tape around and around in the tape box, and they were all envious.

Zhang Zhuangzi hugged his arms and shouted: "Oh my god, this thing is advanced. It can spin in circles by itself. If you asked me to spin like this, I would have become confused."

Da Zhangluo was also willing to use the stick for fun: "This is called a tape recorder. It's more advanced than three turns and one beep. Three turns and one beep, do you know what they are?"

"I don't know." Zhang Zhanzi shook his head and almost shook out the big lice in his hair.

Da Zhangluo took advantage of the situation and started to show off with his fingers: "Bicycle, sewing machine and watch, this is the third ring, the first ring is the radio, the tape recorder, it is more advanced than the radio, it can record what you say."

While talking, Lin Zhi came out of the room with a smile, followed by Liu Qingshan and Liu Jinfeng, each holding a plate in their hands.

A plate contains loose sugar cubes, flower petal sugar balls and orange petal candies. These fruit candies are relatively solid.

The other plate contained cigarettes, which had been opened from the packs to prevent them from being conveniently put into pockets.

"Everyone is here, eating sweets and smoking."

Lin Zhi greeted warmly, "My boss, if you are too stingy, you will be laughed at by the folks in the village."

"Oh, it's still a big front door with a filter. This cigarette is exquisite."

Zhang Gangzi didn't know what it meant to be polite. He peeled off a candy ball and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he took a few cigarettes, one on each ear, and one in his mouth.

Everyone happily lit up cigarettes. Captain Zhang Guofu felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Zhanzi's arrogance and couldn't help but kick him in the butt: "Can you be a bit promising?"

"I almost want to insert two more sticks into my nose. It will be more enjoyable to smoke."

Zhang Zhanzi smiled playfully and didn't care at all.

After chatting for a while, Da Zhangluo got down to the topic. He looked at Lin Zhi and said: "Sister Liu family, how do your family want to arrange Jinfeng's marriage? Let's first come up with a charter and then allocate people. I will definitely give it to you.

It was done beautifully."

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, then pointed at Liu Qingshan: "From now on, Sanfeng will decide on our family's affairs, so you can discuss it."

This time, it was a bit unexpected, because Lin Zhi's words were tantamount to announcing that Liu Qingshan was the head of the family.

At that time, every household must have a shopkeeper who had the final say. There were many people in the family, and there was only one person in charge.

However, Liu Qingshan, a half-grown boy, has just graduated from junior high school and is about to start a family. Isn’t he too young?

If it were someone else's child, at this age he would just be a fool.

Captain Zhang was still very enlightened. He added another cigarette and took a nice puff: "Well, Qingshan was in the newspapers a few days ago. He is a lot better than us big bosses."

Because of this incident, the village had been discussing it heatedly for several days, but just now everyone was focused on Liu Qingshan's age and forgot that he had such a glorious deed.

Da Zhangluo also gave a thumbs up: "If Qingshan is promising, please be in the provincial newspaper. The secretary of our commune and the county magistrate have not been in it, let alone the one in our village, haha..."

On weekdays, Da Zhang Luo is a bit opposite to Captain Zhang. If there is a chance, the two of them will exchange a few words.

Seeing that conflicts were about to break out among the people, Liu Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Uncle Captain, Uncle Zhang Luo, I have discussed it with my grandfather and my mother. When my sister gets married, there will be twenty tables of wedding wine."

"How many, twenty tables?"

Da Zhangluo was holding a candy ball in his mouth, and he swallowed it all at once.

Zhang Guofu also choked on the cigarette: "Ahem, Qingshan, we have less than 200 people in Jiapigou. You are planning to lift the whole village, ahem..."

Liu Qingshan went over and patted his back to calm him down: "That's right, uncle captain, that's what I planned."

"If you do this, you will definitely have to pay compensation."

Captain Zhang finally calmed down and looked at Liu Qingshan, shaking his head: You have no hair on your lips and you are not solid in your work. I just praised you in vain.

From a professional perspective, Da Zhangluo started to settle accounts with Liu Qingshan:

"This banquet, including tobacco, wine, sugar, tea and food, costs about ten yuan. A table of twenty will cost at least two hundred yuan."

"We are in Jiapigou, and there are twenty-five households in total. As for gift-givers, there are one yuan, two yuan, and the better ones, the gift can be three yuan, and the highest one is only five yuan."

"The population of each family is still large, five or six people are considered small, and two yuan can feed a large family. After all, you can't even get a hundred yuan from the gift, so how much money do you have to pay?"

Da Zhangluo is right. These days, even if you don't expect to make money when planning a wedding, you can't do it anyway. No one is rich.

Of course, Liu Qingshan had settled this debt long ago. After Da Zhangluo finished speaking sadly, he said cheerfully:

"Uncle Captain, Uncle Zhang Luo, and all the uncles and uncles, what I want to do is to take advantage of my eldest sister's wedding wine to thank the folks for taking good care of our family over the years."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but get a little excited: "My family has been here in Jiapigou for more than ten years. At that time, my father was not from a good background, and the villagers were kind and did not treat my family differently."

"When my father died, everyone helped deliver it without smoking a cigarette or drinking a sip of wine."

"These children in our family have never been treated as puppies in Jiapigou, and no one has ever bullied them."

"When my family ran out of food, it was the captain who secretly called Grandpa Kidnapper and brought him half a sack of cornmeal. It was life-saving food. Our family, an orphan and a widower, saved us from starving to death."

"That year, my mother suffered from appendicitis and was rolling on the bed in pain. Uncle Zhang Luo and Uncle Boss drove the production team's carriage overnight to take my mother to the big hospital in the county."

"When the land was divided last year, it was the secretary who exchanged his first-class land for my second-lower land."
