Chapter 41 Returning Home to Get Married
On the first day of the new year, they didn't have to go to work, and there were no entertainment facilities in that era, so the two could only listen to opera reviews and the news at home.

Should we make a TV? The difficulty lies in the fact that there are currently no domestically produced TVs.

It was not until March 1958, 3 that Tianjin Factory 17 successfully manufactured my country's first television set, so if you wanted to buy a television set you had to wait a few more years.

As for those from abroad, forget it. Even if Wang Jianfeng has the money to buy them, he can't find a way to buy them.

In fact, this is just because Wang Jianfeng is not satisfied. Having a radio is already very good.

So on the first day of the new year, Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li did not go out. They listened to the radio at home to enhance their relationship and had a deeper communication in the evening.

The day passed like this, and the courtyard became much more lively because of the New Year, with children's laughter and firecrackers ringing from time to time.

Finally, there was no more quarreling and scheming.

the next morning.

Wang Jianfeng went to the steel rolling mill to ask for leave from Section Chief Wu, and Yu Li also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask for leave.

Because the Spring Festival had just passed and the steel rolling mill had exceeded its production target last year, the first few days of the new year were relatively idle. Wang Jianfeng had applied for marriage leave, and the most important thing was that he had already exceeded his target for this month, so Section Chief Wu Weiqiu approved it very readily.

Yu Li's work was relatively easy and she had applied for wedding leave, so her request for leave was approved. Several colleagues also gave her their blessings and asked her to remember to come back and treat them to a meal.

Then the two of them took all the prepared things and rode their bicycles back to Wangjia Village.

Because they were going to hold a wedding banquet when they returned to the village, the two of them took a lot of things, including a lot of wedding candies, peanuts and melon seeds.

The Yu family members would not arrive at Wangjia Village until the day before the wedding. Yu Haitang originally wanted to go with Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li, but was directly rejected by Yu Li.

Yu Li knew that Yu Haitang was a noisy person. If he went, they would be busy preparing for the wedding and would have no time to take care of her.

The two of them arrived at Wangjia Village around the afternoon. It was Yu Li's first time here. Wang Jianfeng had told her about the situation before. She also knew that Wang Jianfeng had an old house left by his parents in his hometown.

Although Yu Li was very tired along the way, she was very happy. The scenery along the way was also very beautiful. Of course, maybe only people who have always lived in the city would feel this way. Anyway, both Wang Jianfeng's predecessor and original incarnation grew up in the countryside, so they are accustomed to these things.

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, the villagers spotted the two of them. Wang Jianfeng greeted them warmly and introduced Yu Li to them.

In fact, everyone knew that Wang Jianfeng was going to get married and the time had been set, but the two of them had not returned for a long time. They finally returned today.

After saying hello, Wang Jianfeng took Yu Li towards his old house.

Soon after, the whole village knew that Wang Jianfeng had returned with his wife.

After arriving home, Yu Li first looked at the old house, and then prepared to start cleaning. She was very satisfied with the old house. The land in the countryside is relatively spacious. Although Wang Jianfeng's old house is not as big as the ones in the old city, the yard is very spacious and much larger than the siheyuan.

Originally, Wang Jianfeng was planning to take Yu Li to visit his uncles and aunts in the village after packing up, but he didn't expect them to arrive first.

"Hu Zi, you are back, and Xiao Li, you too..."

"I'm back. I just got home."

"I'm just about to pack up and go to your house."

"You just arrived in the village and the news has spread throughout the village."

“I thought you would come back during the Spring Festival.”

"The Spring Festival schedule is too tight and we can't make it back, so we went to Xiaoli's parents' home to celebrate the holiday."

"Oh, that's great." Then Wang Jianfeng began to introduce his family members to Yu Li one by one.

Then they started discussing the details of the wedding, a bunch of scattered things, which made Wang Jianfeng feel overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li only need to be the bride and groom.

Wang Jianfeng's uncle and several uncles from his family helped to prepare other matters, otherwise the two of them would have been at a loss. Wang Jianfeng only had to pay for some food and vegetables.

However, the relationships among villagers are relatively good, and thanks to Wang Jianfeng's help this year, everyone had a good New Year. The villagers even gave him two big fat pigs for free.

Wang Jianfeng initially refused, but in the end he had to agree, but he also made it clear that he would not share the money from selling the pigs. As for the money from the piglets, it was also forced on him by the village chief Wang Youtian.

The villagers are indeed simple and know how to be grateful. Wang Jianfeng originally just wanted to purchase supplies for himself to build a breeding base. Although improving the lives of the villagers was also his original intention, he really didn't do anything. However, the villagers repaid him in this way, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Just like that, the whole village started to get busy because of Wang Jianfeng's wedding. In fact, this was also a routine operation. No matter which family in the village got married, all the villagers would come out. It was just that everyone was more enthusiastic about Wang Jianfeng's wedding.

A bonfire was built at night, and everyone was very lively together

The village became lively even before the wedding started. Yu Li had never seen such a scene before and felt very curious.

Then she started eating her own melon. She didn't even seem to be here to get married, but more like a guest, which made me, Wang Jianfeng, very depressed.

Two days passed in this very lively manner, until the day before the wedding, when the Yu family finally arrived at Wangjia Village. They were very happy to see the lively scene.

Yu Haitang and her two brothers-in-law began to wander around, finding everything new to them. However, Yu's father and mother became much more stable after having seen the world.

In the evening, the Yu family and their group once again felt the enthusiasm of the villagers.

On the wedding day, Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li began to follow the procedures and greet guests. Wang Jianfeng drank a lot of wine and started to feel a little tipsy.

Then came the wedding ceremony. Wang Jianfeng had to be replaced by his uncle, and Yu Li's parents also appeared.

At this moment, they were considered a real couple in the eyes of everyone.

In the eyes of Chinese people, getting a marriage certificate is just in name only; only by holding a wedding ceremony can one become a real couple.

After that, Wang Jianfeng didn’t know how much wine he drank, and in the end he was helped into the room by his young wife Yu Li.

Wang Jianfeng lay in bed for a while, and his stomach began to churn. Yu Li then helped him outside the house and he started vomiting. After vomiting, he began to wake up.

The guests outside have left, and after the excitement, things are finally getting quiet.

Yu Li poured a basin of hot water for Wang Jianfeng, and after washing his face, he began to feel refreshed. Then the two of them began to rest. Tonight was the real wedding night, which really could not be missed.

The night was beautiful. Normally, there would be children who would come to eavesdrop on the conversation. But after Wang Jianfeng got drunk, the children who were eavesdropping on the conversation also dispersed.

They didn't expect Wang Jianfeng to wake up in the middle of the night, otherwise he would definitely not have missed it. After a sleepless night, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms after making love.
