RPAGF Chapter 244 Wedding and Farewell
Chapter 244 Wedding and Farewell
The next day, everyone helped Gu Qingqing and her family clean up the wedding room, which was Gu Qingqing's room.
The house was only built two years ago, but it was built in a hurry, the foundation is shallow, and the walls are already cracked.
The day before the wedding, Gu Qingqing first lived in the brigade headquarters. There were two empty rooms in the brigade headquarters, which were reserved for accommodating people who came to the brigade to study or conduct research. They happened to be empty now.
At the wedding, Gu Qingshi went to pick up the bride according to local customs. He also specially found a suona band to liven up the atmosphere, and distributed candy and peanuts to everyone he met along the way.
When people were taken to the educated youth center, the female educated youth would buy things and gifts, while the male educated youth would deliver food to them. This was both worry-free and practical.
Qiao Lei did give a painting as a gift. It was not known whether she painted it or bought it. Jiang Yanqiu specifically looked at the aperture and saw that it was not large.
The banquet was originally planned to have six tables, but five new educated youth came uninvited, so Gu Qingqing asked Gu Qingshi to invite the other four educated youth who had settled there temporarily.
There were also many parents of students who came to give gifts. It was impossible not to set up a table when people came to give gifts, so in the end, there were ten tables in total.
I was also thankful that Zhou Xiujuan prepared a lot of meat, and there was no shortage of vegetables in this season, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.
Although Gu Qingqing’s wedding was not as grand as those in later generations, it was still very lively. It was considered a grand occasion in that era and was also quite memorable.
After the wedding, Jiang Yanqiu and her friends learned that one of the new educated youth was Zhao Guixian’s ex-wife, Wang Haijuan, who was 27 years old and was going to the countryside for the second time.
Wang Haijuan, who lost Zhao Guixian's salary, was nothing at home. When she gave birth to a child, her job was transferred to her sister-in-law, and she only gave it to Zhao Guixian saying it was a loan.
After divorcing Zhao Guixian, Wang Haijuan lost her source of income and had to return to her parents' home. Her parents wanted to use her to earn more dowry.
However, she has always been picky and always compares the other party with Zhao Guixian. It has been more than a year since the divorce and she has not found a new partner.
This year, her younger brother graduated from high school and was going to the countryside. Her family was reluctant to let their son go to the countryside, and the Wang family disliked Wang Haijuan for being an idler at home, so they asked her to replace her younger brother and go to the countryside.
Wang Haijuan thought of all the good things about Zhao Guixian, and she used her connections to join the Shanshui Brigade.
As soon as she arrived, she openly admitted her identity and said that she couldn't bear to leave her child, so she came to the countryside to see the child. She had no choice but to divorce and give the child to Zhao Guixian.
What could be the solution? Zhao Guizhong's wife brought the child to her side, and now that Zhao Guizhong is missing, he is still staying by her side.
As soon as Wang Haijuan arrived, she went to Zhao's house to see the children. No one knew what she was thinking, but she couldn't even get in.
Last winter, Zhao Guixian, under Wang Lanhua's arrangement, married a widow from Wang Lanhua's family.
The widow was only 23 years old and had a 4-year-old daughter. She was prettier than Wang Haijuan and was also quite capable.
Wang Lanhua's original idea was to find a daughter-in-law to take care of them so that she could have more ease.
It turned out that the other party was not so easy to bully. On the second day after entering the door, they started fighting with Wang Lanhua, her mother and her two daughters. Wang Lanhua, her mother and her two daughters were no match for them, so they had to do what they had to do.
The housework is done by the new daughter-in-law, Wang Lanhua and her daughter. They take turns doing it every day, and no one can slack off.
Zhao Guixian doesn't have any requirements now. He just wants a wife who can take good care of the children and warm his bed.
He had such high requirements at the beginning and wanted to find someone who was educated, but he ended up finding Wang Haijuan, who was well-educated, hardworking and capable when she was in the countryside.
After returning to the city, I will be superior to you, but I am still nothing.
Their child is about to be born, and the new daughter-in-law is a powerful one. Isn’t Wang Haijuan asking for trouble by coming here?
Everyone also learned that when Village Chief Zhao was arrested, Zhao Guiquan was also immediately taken away for investigation. Wang Haijuan was afraid of being implicated, so she left her newborn child with the army and asked for a divorce.
During the period when Zhao Guiquan was under investigation, the army asked military wives to help raise the children. She did not leave a penny for Zhao Guixian because it had all been used up.
The Zhao family did not tell anyone about these things, and it was not a glorious thing.
But the new daughter-in-law knew about it, and she didn't care about Zhao Guiquan and Wang Haijuan's face, so she shouted it out until the whole team knew about it.
So when Wang Haijuan said she came to the countryside because she wanted to have a child, no one believed her.
However, the brigade did not treat them differently. The educated youth are still under the management of the third team, and their work points are calculated based on the amount of labor they do.
As the eldest daughter in the family and a girl, Wang Haijuan has been a military wife for several years. She has to rely on herself for most things and is a capable person.
As long as you work honestly, you will have no problem supporting yourself.
However, it can be seen that Wang Haijuan is not a simple person. She dresses brightly and beautifully and often goes out wearing skirts. There are few people wearing skirts in the entire commune.
He had just attended the wedding, and after blessing everyone, he took the initiative to help with the work, without any hesitation.
Gu Qingqing had no excuse to not want to invite anyone to dinner, so she could only call other educated youth over.
The four new educated youth were all from this province, three from the provincial capital and one from the district. All four were high school students, eighteen or nineteen years old. Their lack of experience in hardship was clearly written on their faces, especially the three male educated youth.
The wedding was scheduled for noon, and after dinner everyone went about their own business.
The educated youth took photos with Xu Yan and others in the backyard, and also recorded farewell words for Xu Yan on the radio as a souvenir.
Such occasions are inevitable for the newlywed couple Gu Qingqing and Gu Qingshi to show off their love.
Xu Yan looked at Gu Qingqing, who was so happy, and couldn't help but whispered to Jiang Yanqiu, "I used to think that Gu Qingqing couldn't accept Gu Qingshi, who had a stain on her."
"Who can say for sure about love matters." Jiang Yanqiu didn't think that the two of them couldn't be together.
Gu Qingqing comes from a wealthy family and is more open-minded than anyone else about matters between men and women. Overall, she values her own interests more.
Gu Qingshi is devoted to her and is excellent in all aspects. If Gu Qingqing doesn't find someone better, she will still choose Gu Qingshi.
Such a good man is not easy to find. Even Wang Haiyang mentioned in the book does not have the same admiration for Gu Qingqing as in the original book.
It is only a matter of time before these two people are together. At most, it will be a little complicated and take a longer time.
Xu Yan did not express her opinion afterwards, but her perception of Gu Qingqing was completely changed. Gu Qingqing was more complicated than she thought.
On the third day after Gu Qingqing and her husband's marriage, Xu Yan and her husband left, and Zhou Xiujuan left with them.
After spending a few days together, Zhou Xiujuan was still very satisfied with Gu Qingqing. Apart from her family background, there was nothing else to talk about, right?
As long as you let go of your inner demons, everything will be good.
Once you like someone, shortcomings will become advantages, not to mention that Gu Qingqing is really nice. Just in the past two days, she even took the time to borrow sewing equipment to make clothes for her parents-in-law.
As Zhou Xiujuan's mother-in-law, Gu Qingqing doesn't have high expectations of her. As long as someone causes trouble for her, she will definitely treat them badly.
Xu Yan and her friends did not use the brigade's tractor to take them away when they left. Gu Qingshi found a truck that went directly to the provincial capital to take them there.
After a few people left, Jiang Yu also left. His things had been sent back one after another over the past few days, and he was waiting to send Xu Yan and the others away.
