Reborn 80s

When a car parked on the cement dam of the village's storage room (a place used to store farm tools and the like in rural areas), it really attracted a lot of people's attention.

After all, the countryside in the 1980s was quite closed.

It's not that the news is blocked, but...

How should I put it? Nowadays, few rural people leave the countryside to work hard. All their thoughts are focused on the one-third of an acre of land they have just been allocated.

They all want to cultivate the land well and fill their stomachs.

As for other things, I don’t have the heart to think about it.

It had to wait until someone left the countryside and came back with money. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that going out to work was more profitable than farming.

The power of role models is infinite.

At that time, a large number of rural surplus laborers entered the city and contributed their efforts and sweat to the development of the city.

When these people get old and can no longer work, they return to the countryside.

Liu Yuqi ran home and called Liu Shigao and Guo Birong, followed by her third sister Liu Xinran.

The three of them were all wearing brand new coats, which they had just put on temporarily. They were meeting their son-in-law, so they couldn't be slovenly.

Chen Huaiqing: "Happy New Year to uncle and aunt."

Liu Shigao said cheerfully: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Guo Birong: "You must be tired after driving back. Let's go home and sit down for a while."

Liu Yuqi whispered to Liu Xinran: "This is my brother-in-law, handsome, right?"

Liu Xinran glanced at Liu Yuqi strangely. A brother-in-law is a brother-in-law. Does it have any inevitable connection with whether he is handsome or not?

Liu Xiyan interrupted: "Dad, Mom, you take these things back first. Brother Qing and I have to go to Chenjiagou."

Guo Birong watched Liu Xiyan get out of the car with large and small bags of things, and couldn't help but smile: "Would you like to come back for dinner in the evening?"

Liu Xiyan looked at Chen Huaiqing, what to do next?

Chen Huaiqing: “I won’t come back for dinner tonight.”

"Okay. Then will you be back tomorrow?"

Liu Xiyan: "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Guo Birong couldn't help but rolled her eyes, what are you talking about?

Liu Xiyan glanced at Liu Yuqi and asked her to tell her parents about the banquet when she came back this time.

The banquet must be held on the man's side, but if it is held on the woman's side, wouldn't it be considered as a bride-in-law?

Therefore, what should be prepared at home must be prepared quickly in the past few days.

Liu Xiyan has already given the money to Liu Yuqi.

The Chen family is only a twenty- to thirty-minute walk away from the Liu family.

But if you want to drive there, you have to go around a long way. You have to take the county road first, and then go around in a circle before you can reach Chenjiagou.

Chen Huaiqing drove and Liu Xiyan showed the way.

Chen Huaiqing seemed to sigh: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I can't even find my way home."

Liu Xiyan: "It's okay, I'm here!"

…

In the courtyard of Chen Shunzhang's house, a card table was set up. Four people were playing mahjong. There were more than a dozen people sitting next to it and setting up a dragon gate array. They could eat peanuts, melon seeds and other things at will.

This pair of mahjong is the only one in the entire production team.

Bought by Chen Shunzhang.

Normally, if someone in the team wanted to do something, they would definitely come to his place to borrow mahjong and play with it.

Chen Shunzhang is also very generous, just use it, it will be fine.

I bought this mahjong just to play it well.

"Hey, look, there's a car parked opposite the door."

"Are there any relatives in that house who can afford to drive a car?"

Chen Shunzhang was not playing mahjong at this time, but was setting up the Dragon Gate Formation with everyone.

His eldest brother was sitting on the card table.

Chen Shunjun likes to play cards. Now he is a retired worker. He gets his retirement salary every month. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the village to find someone to play cards with.

In rural areas, everyone is pretty small.

Chen Shunzhang looked at the people getting off the car. They were far away and had their backs on their backs, so they couldn't see carefully, but they looked like Chen Huaiqing!

Liu Xiyan got out of the car and Chen Shunzhang patted her leg: "Brother, Qingwazi is back with his wife."

Chen Shunjun was thinking about what cards to play when he heard Chen Shunzhang shout: "What is it?"

"Chen Huaiqing is back."

Chen Huaiqing is back!

My nephew is promising, so when Chen Shunzhang comes back, he will naturally have to publicize it well.

Our old Chen family is completely in a state of shock now.

Chen Huaiqing and Liu Xiyan were greeted by a crowd of people halfway along the walkway along the bank of the paddy fields.

"Old man!"

Chen Huaiqing saw that the man next to Chen Shunzhang was a little older, but he and Chen Shunzhang looked like brothers, so he knew that this man must be the old man Chen Shunjun.

Some time ago, Chen Shunzhang sent a telegram saying that Chen Shunjun had retired and returned home.

"Big old man!"

Chen Shunjun's face was full of smile: "Okay. Let's go into the house first."

Seeing Chen Huaiqing returning with his wife Liu Xiyan, everyone else also dispersed.

They must have something to say. It doesn't matter that a group of outsiders are here.

Although everyone's surname is Chen, the blood relationship has long faded over those generations.

Chen Huaiqing said directly: "Old man, old man, when I come back this year, I want to hold a banquet."

Liu Xiyan and the Chen family went to the kitchen. Now outside, there were Chen Huaiqing, Chen Shunjun, Chen Shunzhang and Chen Shunjun's second son-in-law.

Chen Shunzhang: "I told you to hold the banquet a long time ago. How long do you plan to hold it?"

Chen Huaiqing thought for a moment: "Is it too late to do it before the year ends? I'm in Yuzhou and I still have a lot of things to do."

Chen Shunjun said: "There are only a few days until the New Year!"

Chen Huaiqing smiled: "I'm just a little anxious. Let's see if we can ask more people to help. We don't need to host many tables, just a dozen or twenty tables."

"How about a dozen or twenty tables? Our production team only has a dozen tables. The Liu family also has relatives, so we need to prepare almost thirty tables."

Chen Huaiqing: "Then prepare thirty-five tables. If you prepare more, just spend more money."

Chen Shunzhang joked: "Qing Wazi is now the big boss, so his tone of voice is completely different."

Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "Money is for spending. I am hosting a banquet, and it is only once in my life. I don't want to be complained about in the future. Anyway, I only have one request, that it be done well and that I am not afraid of spending money."

Chen Shunzhang took over the matter: "Don't worry, my dear, your old man and I will definitely handle this matter for you properly."

As Chen Huaiqing's elders, they are the only ones to worry about his affairs.

Chen Shunzhang was also impatient, so he invited the village chef to dinner on the spot.

While eating, there was discussion.

The next day, Chen Huaiqing drove them to the county town with him. If he had money, he would just buy what he needed. Don't think about whether it was expensive or not, but whether it was necessary or not.

There is no need to compare prices between three companies.

Anyway, when I went out, there was only one car, and when I came back, it was followed by a truck.

On the morning of the third day, Chen Shunzhang accompanied Chen Huaiqing to pay homage to the grave.

Starting from the Chen family’s ancestral grave, we paid homage all the way to the grave of Chen Huaiqing’s father, Chen Shunqiang.

Standing in front of the grave, Chen Huaiqing did not speak, but bowed seriously and silently burned more paper money.

If there is really knowledge under the spring, don't blame me, I don't know how I got here.

If you want to blame, blame God!

Furthermore, although the soul is no longer your son, the body is still the same. I will also marry your designated daughter-in-law. If you have children in the future, they will still be from the Chen family...

There seems to be a paradox here. Is the child considered to be one's own now or one's before?

Don't think too much about this philosophical thing, the more you think about it, the more your head will hurt.

Chen Huaiqing: "Old man, I want to build the graves of my father and grandfather with stones and erect a monument."

If there is no monument in front of the tomb, who will know who is buried there decades later?

Chen Shunzhang didn't mention the money and agreed: "After the New Year, I'll find someone to take care of it."

They don't have much here, just a lot of rocks.

There are quarries, large and small, everywhere, some are currently being mined, and naturally there are also many abandoned quarries.

Nowadays, when you build a house, you usually quarry some stones to make the foundation.

As for selling?

How to transport it is a big problem.

A piece of stone can easily weigh a ton, and transporting it over long distances requires a vehicle.

In the year of Jiazi, rat, December 30th is auspicious for marriage.

After three days of urgent preparations, Chen Huaiqing and Liu Xiyan's wedding banquet was finally ready.

Chen Huaiqing felt like he was a marionette. He sent gifts to the Liu family early in the morning. There were quite a lot of things, and more than a dozen people carried them over.

In the Liu family, Liu Yuqi was playing with the camera, and Liu Xinran was doing it next to her.

Naturally, the camera Chen Huaiqing bought was a film camera. Chen Huaiqing bought it specifically before he came back, just to record this moment.

There was no marriage or anything like that, no bad impression was left on the children, everything went smoothly.

Chen Huaiqing, who was wearing a black down jacket, and Liu Xiyan, who was wearing a red down jacket, looked like a golden girl, and those at the table were toasting.

Today, Liu Xiyan put on makeup and wore a flower on her head, looking extremely gorgeous.

Looking at Liu Xiyan whose smile never faded, Chen Huaiqing could feel her happiness from the bottom of her heart.

To put it bluntly, he held this banquet not for himself, but for Liu Xiyan.

She is happy, which is undoubtedly the most important thing.
