Chapter 180 Yi Zhonghai's Son 35
Yi Zhonghai and his wife were anxiously rummaging through boxes and drawers at home. Their son was about to get married, and the preparations for the wedding made them nervous and flustered.
Their movements were hurried and flustered, and they sighed and complained from time to time. Sometimes they would show a happy expression when they found what they needed, but in the blink of an eye they would fall into anxiety because of other omissions.
"Boss, how much money do we want to give as a dowry?" Aunt Yi opened the iron box containing cash and biscuits.
Yi Zhonghai heard the voice and stopped, thought for a moment and said, "Let's sell it according to the current market conditions."
"I remember when the eldest son of the Li family in the front yard got married, he paid 66 yuan."
"There is also a carpenter in the middle courtyard whose eldest daughter's wedding gift is 80 yuan."
Aunt Yi was a little hesitant and didn't know how much to pay.
"We only have one son, and the betrothal gift will be brought back. We will just give 88 yuan to make it a lucky number."
When Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were discussing the marriage, they had already said that the betrothal gift would be brought in along with the girl.
"This gold bracelet will be passed on to my daughter-in-law after she marries into our family."
Aunt Yi gently opened the iron box, which faintly exuded the breath of time. She carefully reached out her hand and took out a heavy gold bracelet from it. The bracelet sparkled brightly in the sun.
"The Yan family also has two of these bracelets, one of which was given by the son to a girl."
Thinking of this incident, they both found it funny. This young couple really have a great affinity with each other.
The two of them packed up their things and went to their son's small yard to help clean up.
He Yuzhu has been invited to help as the wedding chef, and Yi Yongkang bought the ingredients himself. Most of the meat was taken out from his own space, and the rest of the more common ones were bought from the vegetable market outside or in the countryside.
The Yan family was also nervously preparing to marry off their daughter. Although it was closer to marry from the front yard to the back yard, they planned to go around the alley and then come back.
"Director Yang, I'm getting married soon. Let's have a drink at my wedding when you have time." Yi Yongkang told Director Yang the date of his wedding.
"Congratulations!" Upon hearing the good news, Director Yang's face was filled with joy. He patted the other person's shoulder vigorously to express his congratulations. Then, while saying that he would definitely go for a drink when the time comes, he took out a ticket from the drawer of his desk.
“Here’s the bicycle ticket.”
Yi Yongkang had no choice but to accept the gift to express his gratitude.
Later, Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide was also invited to attend the wedding.
On the wedding day, the sun shone on the earth. Yi Yongkang wore a neat shirt and rode a bicycle with a bright red flower tied on the front of the bicycle. He was smiling and in a particularly happy mood. On the back seat sat the beautiful bride Yan Jie Di, who was wearing a pink woolen coat and black trousers, looking particularly fresh and attractive. Yan Jie Di's long hair was tied up at the back of her head with a red flower, and she held a bouquet of flowers in her hand, her happiness was beyond words.
Along the way, Yi Yongkang rode his bicycle carefully, as if showing their love to the world. Passersby cast envious glances and wished the newlyweds well. Under the sunshine, the big red flowers shone brightly, as if cheering for their happiness.
Many children ran behind the bicycle and chased the bicycle to watch the fun.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, and relatives, friends, and neighbors gathered at the door. "Here they come, here they come!" With a shout, everyone looked towards the door at the same time.
Yi Yongkang and Yan Jiedi were brought into the yard of their new home, where five banquet tables were set up. Under the introduction of the wedding host, they made vows and promises to the audience.
Amid the applause and cheers from everyone, Yi Yongkang and Yan Jiedi were both a little shy. Then the banquet officially began and everyone ate and chatted in a warm atmosphere.
Zhang held her grandson's hand tightly, squeezed through the crowd, and finally found an empty seat at the table full of people. She quickly put down the stool and let her grandson sit down, while she stood aside. The table was filled with various dishes, but Zhang's eyes were fixed on the plate with meat dishes.
She ignored other people's gazes and desperately used chopsticks to pick up the meat from the plate and put it into her grandson's bowl, urging him: "Banggeng, eat faster, eat more, we have to eat enough!" Banggeng was not polite and ate voraciously. Zhang's face was full of smiles, unlike the vicious curses she had at home before she came.
However, her behavior caused dissatisfaction among the people around her. Some people began to whisper and accuse Zhang of being selfish. But Zhang didn't care at all. She just wanted to eat more.
Qin Huairu stood quietly outside the door, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She silently watched the lively scene in the courtyard, people were laughing and talking, but she seemed to be out of it.
Her eyes involuntarily fell on He Yuzhu, watching him pick up food for Lou Xiao'e attentively, the two of them chatting and laughing, Lou Xiao'e's face was filled with a happy smile. And He Yuzhu was holding a cute little girl in his arms, his eyes were full of love.
Qin Huairu's heart was filled with mixed emotions, including envy, loss, and helplessness. She couldn't help but think of the time she had spent with He Yuzhu. However, everything was different now, and she could only watch it all silently, unable to participate in it anymore.
Her expression became increasingly gloomy, and she turned and left this lively place.
Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi were delighted to see their son and daughter-in-law so happy. They hoped that their son and daughter-in-law could support each other and go through every stage of life together.
After the wedding, Yi Yongkang and Yan Jiedi held hands and walked into their new life. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they believed that as long as they loved each other and stayed together, they would be able to create a beautiful future.
Yi Yongkang works hard in the factory every day, but he does not neglect his family. In addition to his busy work, he always tries his best to take care of his family's life.
Every now and then, Yi Yongkang would bring back some fine grains and pork from the factory. Some of them were grains and fruits grown in the space, which tasted better than those outside.
The next year, they had their eldest son, who was lively and active. Yi Zhonghai loved his grandson very much and would hold him in his arms and play in the yard all day long. Aunt Yi now lives a comfortable life, with a smile on her face. She likes to cook delicious food for her child every day.
After the reform and opening up, Yi Yongkang started his own company and acquired a courtyard house. The two rooms of the deaf old lady were also left to him. Knowing that the real estate industry would have great development in the future, he bought many courtyard houses and land in anticipation of their appreciation.
Antique calligraphy and paintings collected in previous years that were of historical significance were donated to the Beijing Museum, and the remaining gold and silver jewelry and jade bracelets were distributed to the children.
The children gradually grew up. The relationship between Yi Yongkang and Yan Jiedi became deeper and deeper. They experienced the ups and downs of life together and witnessed the growth of their children together. The family was happy and full of happiness.
On a street, an old woman with tattered clothes and messy hair was picking up rags and plastic bottles with a numb look in her eyes. She was going to sell the bottles and buy vegetables to cook for her son.
Her eyes caught sight of an elderly couple strolling not far away, and her heart was filled with regret and sadness.
"Zhu Zi, do you think this dress looks good?"
"If you like it, buy it. No matter how much it costs." The old man patted his shirt pocket to show that he had money.
