63. Funeral
Representative Zhang's deep bow set the tone for the wedding. From then on, no one dared to underestimate Aunt Jiang.
Next, Deputy Zhang said something else, which was nothing more than adapting to the situation at that time, combining it with the situation, motivating everyone and encouraging newcomers. In short, there are more empty things that have to be said.
Next, the factory leaders, Zhang Shuncai, the trade union chairman, and the workshop director all said a few words. Director Yu, as the leader of the unit, also gave a congratulations, and Zhang Qingzhong stuttered a few words. Li Le, who was good at speaking, did not dare to speak. There were too many leaders present, so he did not dare to talk nonsense.
This is a form of the time, because everyone holds meetings and political studies in factories, which are all in this form.
Finally, Deputy Zhang pulled Yao Yuan and Kang Kang to Aunt Jiang and said earnestly: "Building, you have today. Thanks to your mother, you must always remember her kindness to you. You couple, bow to your mother, and our ceremony will be completed."
Kang Kang blushed and lowered his head to bow to her mother, but found that Yao Yuan did not bow, but knelt on the ground.
In the new era, I have been no longer kowtow. Yao Yuan's move caught the resistance off guard. But Yao Yuan knelt down, so he couldn't stand, right?
Yao Yuan knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Aunt Jiang respectfully, and shouted: "Mom!"
He was kowtowing to Uncle Yao. Without this great mother, Uncle Yao would not have lived through this era and could still get married and have children.
Aunt Jiang finally waited for the day when Dasha called her mother. She wanted to agree so frankly and help Yao Yuan up from the ground. Somehow, she didn't say anything, but all the sad past came to her heart. She couldn't help but burst into tears. She got up from the chair and hugged Yao Yuan. After a long time, she said, "Son, Mom has finally waited for this day!" Then she burst into tears.
The wedding banquet was held in the canteen in the factory. There were more than ten seats for more than ten seats for the mining machine. It was not so lively for a long time.
Representative Zhang attended the wedding banquet of Yao Yuan and Kang Kang. This was probably the first time in his life that he had not refused such an occasion. He led his wife and Aunt Jiang together, and brought Yao Yuan and Kang Kang Kang to toast everyone at the table to express his gratitude to everyone.
Zhang Shuncai looked at all this and thought nothing in his heart. Yao Yuan has such a tough backstage support and is a character that is difficult to mess with. He can't touch the stone with an egg, but he can only look at the future changes in the situation and make long-term plans.
After seeing off all the guests, the house became quiet and it became dark. Yao Yuan and Kang Kang wanted to accompany Aunt Jiang home.
Aunt Jiang refused and said, "Where are you going? From now on, this is your home!"
Kang Kang said, "There is not even a pot here, how can you eat?"
Aunt Jiang then understood and said, "Oh, why did you forget this? But the new wife can only return to the door three days later. What should I do? Otherwise, I will send it to you?"
Yao Yuan said: "Mom! I've been your son for a long time. Why do you care about this? We are still a family and we have to eat together!"
Aunt Jiang was happy: "Hey, I like to hear your words."
Kang Kang said unhappyly: "I have called you for more than 20 years, but I have never seen you so happy."
Aunt Jiang was about to refute, but Meimei shouted there: "You can't get through? I'll eat it myself!"
Only then did everyone remember that there was a beautiful girl at home, so why did they forget her?
The three of them came to Aunt Jiang's side. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that Meimei had already set up the dining table as before, sat inside, waiting for everyone to have dinner.
Today is a happy day. Aunt Jiang is willing to spend money. The food is much better than before. There are white flour steamed buns, meat in the dishes, and Meimei has fried an extra plate of eggs.
Seeing Kang Kang, Meimei said, "No, my sister's expression is like a sister today."
Kang Kang cut the short braids behind his head and left his short hair. This head shape had a special name in that era, called Ke Xiangtou, which looked like a heroine in the eight model operas.
When I resisted the scented head, my look suddenly became much bigger.
In the past, Kang Kang and Meimei quarreled, and never knew how to give in to their sister, but they really didn’t look like a boss. Sometimes they worried Aunt Jiang more than Meimei. However, Meimei has been a little mature since she was a child.
However, since he came back from the line, the resistance gradually began to change. When he really fell in love with Yao Yuan, he became much more stable and he would no longer compete with Meimei for things.
Kang Kang looked more like an adult today because he cut his hair short, but he didn't look like his sister like Meimei said. Meimei's words meant to tease her sister.
Kang Kang knew that Meimei teased her, and she didn't say anything. He distributed the chopsticks on the table to her mother and Yao Yuan, and sat silently at the door.
This is also Aunt Jiang’s rule. You cannot let a man sit at the door. Then you can only sit at the door with resistance.
Meimei saw two black pieces on Kang Kang's new pants’ knees and asked her, “Sister, how did you get your pants dirty after wearing them for a day?”
Kang Kang said, "I'm still saying that when I bowed to my mother, your stupid brother didn't know where to throw a crazy trick, so he knelt down to my mother. With so many people on his knees, can I still stand?"
At the wedding, there were people inside and outside the yard, and Meimei had no place to go, so she ran back here and didn't see it.
At this time, I asked: "Silly Brother, I've been kneeling down for a long time, don't you know?"
Yao Yuan said seriously: "Mom has saved me, and it is natural for me to kneel down. Remember, when you get married in the future, you have to kneel down to your mother. Is it easy for her to pull you two sisters alone?"
Meimei nodded and said, "Silly Brother, you are affectionate and righteous, you are a real man. Apart from reactionary thoughts, there is nothing wrong with everything else."
Aunt Jiang wanted to cry again, so she quickly wiped her eyes and said Meimei: "Call me brother-in-law from now on, don't call me stupid brother!" Then she said to Yao Yuan, "I want to drink some wine. Dasha, take the leftover wine in the cafeteria."
Kang Kang said, "Mom! You never drink, you are doing well now, why do you think of drinking?"
Aunt Jiang said, "Who said I won't drink? I'm happy today. You won't do it if you drink a little wine?"
Yao Yuan stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go get it, I'll drink with you."
Kangkang just looked at Yao Yuan asking: "Don't you say you can't drink? Zhang Qingzhong and Li Le drank for you at the banquet. Why do you think of drinking now?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "When it's time to know how to drink, I will do it naturally. I can drink with my mother." After that, he went to the kitchen to find wine.
Jiang Kangkang said to himself: "You can never guess which sentence is true or false in this person."
Jiang Meimei continued, "Don't guess. Just your IQ, as soon as you guess, he will have a way to set a trap for you, let you revolve around his thoughts, and finally get out of his trap."
Meimei clearly said that she was stupid and was very angry at the scourge. But after careful consideration, it was really the case. He grabbed Zhang Shuncai's fear of ghosts and kept playing with this old guy, constantly falling into the trap he had put.
At this time, Yao Yuan brought in a bottle of wine from outside, which was 52° sorghum, and then brought four tea cups from the enamel tea tray placed on the stove in the outer room.
He first asked Aunt Jiang: "Mom, how much do you pour?"
Aunt Jiang said: "Full up!"
Kang Kang looked at her mother and said, "This is high wine, can you do it?"
Aunt Jiang said: "Look at me? I drank half a bottle of this thing myself back then, and there was nothing wrong with it!"
Meimei looked at her mother and said, "Mom, why do I feel like you are about the same age as us today?"
Aunt Jiang said: "I'm so happy today. Mom hasn't had such a happy thing for many years."
Yao Yuan poured a teacup full of wine and put it in front of Aunt Jiang. He asked Kang Kang again: "How much do you drink?"
When I was in the rank of the riot, I learned to drink. In that bad situation, most people survived by drinking, regardless of gender.
Kang Kang said, "Mom, I'll have a drink too."
Yao Yuan poured another tea bowl to resist. Then he asked Meimei: "Where are you?"
Meimei said, "I can't drink. You all drink it, pour me some."
Yao Yuan poured a little into a teacup, handed it to Meimei, and then filled the rest of his teacup.
Aunt Jiang picked up her teacup and looked at the three children and said, "If your father is alive, he will not know how happy he is to see what we are like now! Before going to bed later, he has to burn some paper for him and tell him about the happy event."
Kang Kang said, "Mom! Can we not mention this?"
Aunt Jiang said, "Why don't you mention it? This is everyone's happy event! If you go there later, you have to burn paper for your parents-in-law, and I will go there too. Dasha is so good today, I'm so good to the couple!" As he said that, he wanted to cry again.
Yao Yuan quickly took the words and said, "Mom, let's drink. Kang Kang and I wish you happiness every day and a hundred years of long life!"
Kang Kang picked up the cup, touched her mother, took a sip, and put down the teacup.
Meimei silly poured the wine from her teacup into her mouth, so she kept sticking out her tongue and slapped her hands into her mouth.
Aunt Jiang looked at Meimei and finally grinned and smiled.
In this era, burning paper was a four-year old one, and it was strictly prohibited. There were no one selling burning paper on the market. However, Aunt Jiang got the burning paper from somewhere, and she didn't know where she got it. She didn't ask where she got it.
There is no public cemetery near the mining machine. The employees passed away and either went back to their hometown to bury them after cremation, or they could only be stored in the ashes storage room of the funeral home.
Aunt Jiang had already sent back to her hometown ashes for Kang Kang's father. She also instructed the people in her hometown to visit her husband's grave and tell him about Kang Kang's marriage.
After Uncle Yao's father died, it was done by the public. No one knew where the ashes were. After his mother jumped into the river, she could not find her bones.
Therefore, to pay tribute to the three of them, they can only be in the yard.
In order to avoid others seeing the news, I could only wait until midnight. Aunt Jiang refused to let everyone sleep and sat in the house to wait in the middle of the night.
Kang Kang drank wine and was busy all day during the day. At this time, the bride was fighting with her upper and lower eyelids. Her mother didn't allow her to go to the kang, so she had to sit on the stool and struggled to support her. She couldn't hold on, so she leaned on Yao Yuan's shoulder and was confused for a while. Now that she got married, she was not afraid of being watched by her mother.
After twelve o'clock, Aunt Jiang had prepared a few side dishes and the fragrant stew. Now she divided them into two parts and asked Yao Yuan to take one to the yard there to put it on.
Then, the four of them were busy working in the two yards like thieves.
Aunt Jiang first burned half of the paper in her yard and whispered in her mouth. After finishing her chanting, she asked the three children to kowtow.
Then, he took Yao Yuan and Kang Kang back to the yard and wrote the same gourd.
Finally, the ceremony ended, Aunt Jiang returned to her home, and Kang Kang closed his eyes in the yard.
Yao Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, picked up the resistance and returned to his house.
Chapter completed!
