Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 450 Getting a bargain and still acting innocent?
A little boy nearby grabbed the old woman and said urgently, "Grandma, Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? That's not how it is. You can't talk nonsense."

The old lady slapped her grandson on the back and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. What I'm saying is the truth."

Zhao Xiaomei was so angry that her eyes welled up with tears: "You're wrong, you can't say it like that."

"Where did I do wrong? If your mother hadn't done what she did back then, would you have benefited from this, and would so many city people have attended your sister's wedding?"

The Zhao family's thatched house consisted of three rooms, with the kitchen in the middle. At that time, there were seven or eight people in the kitchen, all of them middle-aged women.

Several others chimed in, "Yes, Grandma Gouwa is right."

"I think that makes sense."

"Whatever the reasoning behind it, don't get involved."

Someone nearby whispered, "Today is the auspicious day of Xiaoman, why say such things?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. We didn't insult his father or mother. We're praising his mother for doing a good job, and they benefit from it. What's wrong with that?"

"Ugh, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I don't understand."

The man was so angry that he stopped talking to him.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoman raised her voice slightly: "Grandma Gouwa, what you said is unreasonable. You can't just look at me and Brother Shaole. What about my brother Yonggang? He is the most innocent. He should have grown up in the city."

You've never been to the provincial capital, so of course you don't know what the 516 military factory is like.

It was bigger than the county town, with soldiers standing guard at the entrance, cement roads in the courtyard, buses for workers to get to work, a cultural center, a cinema, and several state-run restaurants.

The workers all have access to a large canteen, and their benefits are excellent. They mostly live in apartment buildings with heating, so they don't have to heat the buildings themselves, and the rooms are always warm.

Most importantly, Yonggang is very smart and loves reading. I remember him saying he wanted to be a scientist when he was little. If he had grown up in the city, perhaps his dream would have come true.

Shao Le's face darkened.

Although that makes sense, he didn't really like hearing it.

But I quickly realized that Xiaoman was right.

Are they trying to act innocent after getting a good deal?
In that case, he would despise himself.

He first looked at Zhao Xiaoman, and then glanced at Lu Qiaoge.

Ah!
Lu Qiaoge had a smile on her face.

He could tell that Lu Qiaoge was showing a hint of admiration.

This proves that Xiaoman was right.

Oh dear, I went a bit too far just now.

He wanted to add a few more words, but Zhao Xiaoman turned to look at Shao Le and said, "Brother Shao Le, if you were born in the countryside, you would be Mom's own son. Mom wouldn't have any selfish motives and would wholeheartedly consider your needs."

Neither of my younger brothers are academically inclined, but Shao Le is clearly a bright and intelligent boy who loves reading. Even in the countryside, Shao Le will do well.

Grandma Gouwa pouted and said, "You little rascal, you've always had a sharp tongue. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just saying it."

Zhao Xiaoman sighed, "Yes, it was because of my mother's selfishness that her fate was changed. She actually feels very guilty. Grandma Gouwa, please don't mention this matter again, otherwise my mother will not be at peace in the afterlife."

In fact, Zhao Xiaoman wanted to say more directly about this old lady. She didn't have a good relationship with her deceased mother, and she looked down on her mother, often making sarcastic remarks behind her back. She never said a kind word to her.

But today is her big day, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble.

Besides, she doesn't care about that. As long as she walks the right path, she'll eventually have a good life.

At this moment, Aunt Jiang squeezed in and said, "Oh dear, what are you talking about? Um... all the men should go out. Only we women are here."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere.

Zhao Xiaoman glanced gratefully at Aunt Jiang, who was speaking. As the brigade leader's wife, her words carried weight.

Lu Qiaoge and Fan Xiaoyu were both unmarried young women, so they simply watched quietly from the sidelines, leaving the rest to the older women.

Shao Le wiped his face and then walked out. He immediately saw Shao Yonggang standing there in the courtyard.

Shao Le looked at him somewhat awkwardly. Shao Yonggang smiled at Shao Le, and then Qin Hengzhi whispered a reminder: "Look, isn't the wedding procession here?" If there were suona horns playing at this time, it would definitely be more lively, but this is not bad either.

Wearing new clothes, pants, and shoes, Wu Ming pushed a bicycle with a big red flower tied to the handlebars and a big red "double happiness" character on it.

Well, they stumbled along, one step at a time, but their faces were full of smiles, as if they were welcoming a new life, new hope, and a new future.

He was accompanied by about a dozen young men and several wives and daughters.

These are all for the wedding procession.

It's basically from the entrance of the village to the middle of the village.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaodi saw Shao Yonggang and said in a choked voice, "Big Brother."

Zhao Xiaomei also came out and stood at the door, looking at Shao Yonggang expectantly.

Shao Yonggang said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and set off firecrackers, the wedding procession is here."

Zhao Xiaodi wiped away his tears with his worn-out cotton-padded coat.

Qin Hengzhi stood in the courtyard watching the wedding procession, his posture relaxed and a smile playing on his lips.

how to say?

The phrase "humble abode shines with honor" is suitable for this context.

With him standing here, it's as if the whole courtyard has brightened up.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out.

Captain Jiang then asked, "Which of you two older brothers will carry Zhao Xiaoman on your back?"

The bride's feet must not touch the mud; she must be carried out by her brothers or other relatives.

Shao Le and Shao Yonggang exchanged a glance.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Captain Jiang felt like slapping himself.

Why is he so cheeky?
Why ask? Let whoever wants to go go. Do you think these two people will feel embarrassed to go after he asked them?
One is his older brother.

One of them is someone I grew up with, practically like a biological brother.

If it were just a bad relationship, that would be one thing.

The Zhao siblings all have a good relationship.

So why is he being so talkative?

Luckily, his wife was inside; if they were outside, she would definitely have kicked him.

Standing to the side, Shao's father wanted to say something, but then felt that he didn't seem to have any right to speak.

In fact, thoughts only last for a blink of an eye.

Qin Hengzhi slowly said, "That's simple. You two play rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three. The winner carries Zhao Xiaoman on his back, and the loser stops the groom."

Everyone immediately realized what was going on.

Captain Jiang laughed happily, admiring Qin's reaction.

That's a really fast head.

Although Lu Qiaoge was inside the house, she could still hear the sounds coming from the courtyard.

She smiled too.

It must be admitted that Qin Hengzhi's method was quite good.
