Chapter 451

Upon hearing this, Shao Yonggang and Shao Le really stood together and played rock-paper-scissors.

Both of them were very serious.

In the end, Shao Le won.

So Shao Le happily went to the room, while Shao Yonggang blocked the wedding procession. He said very seriously, "Wu Ming, we grew up together, and I know what kind of person you are. I am at ease handing my sister over to you, but I still hope you treat her well.

You know, she treats your mother like her own, and you have also spent so many years together. I am actually very at ease, but I don't know why, in this scene today, I still want to urge you.

When you two are angry, you must never lay a hand on her. Really, you can scold her or curse her, but you must absolutely, absolutely never lay a hand on her.

Although I live in the city, if I find out, Wu Ming, even though you are my good brother, I won't spare you."

Wu Ming didn't expect Shao Yonggang to come. He was extremely happy, his eyes shining as he looked at him, and he promised in one breath: "Brother, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoman well for a lifetime, and I will absolutely never lay a finger on her. I mean what I say!"

Shao Yonggang reached out and patted his shoulder. For some reason, at this moment, the pent-up frustration in his chest suddenly dissipated.

Shao Yonggang also smiled and said, "Good brother, good brother-in-law, I know what kind of person you are. Xiaoman marrying you is her good fortune."

Zhao Xiaoman didn't hear these words, but she had a smile on her face.

She turned her head to look at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Don't miss the auspicious time. We'll discuss the corn husk crafts later."

Zhao Xiaoman nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, she felt she was the luckiest person in the world.

Actually, the wedding was very simple now; there were no suonas, no photography, or video recording. It was just putting the person on the back seat of a bicycle, and then Wu Ming pushed the bride toward their new home.

However, a large group of people followed along toward the Wu family, talking and laughing, which was very lively.

Quite a few city people came to the village today, which was a very face-saving thing for both the Zhao and Wu families.

Team Leader Jiang was all smiles as he talked to Shao Fu; after all, the two were about the same age and could still talk to each other.

Wu Ming's mother was in her early fifties. This was her youngest son getting married; with this one married, she would be even more worry-free.

Then, hearing that quite a few city people had come to the Zhao family, the old ladies beside her talked to her with envy.

Someone even said to her: "Sister-in-law Wu, good intentions will surely have good rewards. Look, haven't they come now?"

"Yes, yes. Back then, when you took in Xiaoman, some people said you were meddling and looking for trouble for yourself. But ever since Xiaoman entered your house, your family's food, daily necessities, and all sorts of things have been handled clearly by Xiaoman, and she is also a good hand at managing the household."

Old Lady Wu pursed her lips and smiled.

Back then, this girl and her youngest son always played together. One day, the child ran over covered in injuries, knelt down, and begged her to buy her, and her youngest son also knelt together and begged her.

She knew that Zhao Laolai had contacted a family and wanted to send the little girl over for the price of 50 yuan to be their daughter, but actually to be the wife of that family's fool. The fool was already over forty; this was simply a sin.

But the parents just said they were sending their daughter to a good family, and no one wanted to meddle in this business.

Her heart softened; she found Zhao Laolai, gave him 60 yuan, and took Xiaoman home.

Poor children manage the household early.

Eight-year-old Xiaoman didn't have any chores she couldn't do.

Over these years, she had also cherished her like a daughter.

She thought Zhao Laolai would torment his children for a lifetime, but who could have thought he was inside now.

Then Xiaoman gained a brother from the city.

She smiled and said: "Eat some melon seeds, eat some melon seeds. These were roasted by our Xiaoman; they are very fragrant."

Everyone ate melon seeds and chatted while waiting for the bride.

There was no banquet now; if you were willing to give a gift, you gave one; if you weren't, you just came to watch the excitement.

There were no peanuts, but there were plenty of melon seeds.

But actually, there was no shortage of melon seeds in the rural areas of the Northeast.

Even popcorn was in sufficient supply.

There weren't that many formalities, but the person reading the wedding registration changed from Team Leader Jiang to Qin Heng.

Qin Heng gladly agreed, mainly because he discovered that Qiao Ge also quite liked such a simple and festive scene.

Letting him be the witness, Lu Qiaoge's eyes were shining.

Many people also knew Qin Heng's identity.

People in the country always had a different kind of sentiment toward soldiers.

Someone said quietly: "A military representative is the witness. Oh my, Wu Ming wouldn't dare to change his heart even if he wanted to."

"What nonsense are you spouting? What changing heart or not changing heart? Say something pleasant."

"Alright, alright, grow old together and have children early!"

Zhao Xiaoman and Wu Ming, who had completed the wedding ceremony, took those corn husk crafts and went to the team headquarters with these people.

Only at this moment did Team Leader Jiang know about the corn husk crafts.

He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

He knew that Zhao Xiaoman was the most capable girl in the village, clever and dexterous, and with a sharp mind. Except for that bastard Zhao Laolai, there was no one who didn't praise this girl.

But he really didn't notice that she could weave such beautiful things using corn husks.

But what were these woven for?

They couldn't be eaten or drunk.

Team Leader Jiang suddenly remembered that the military factory's craft factory was recruiting master craftsmen some time ago.

Could it be that they wanted to recruit Zhao Xiaoman to be a worker?

Oh my, this was truly, good fortune had arrived, and it couldn't be stopped.

However, it had to be said, looking at them individually seemed like nothing, but putting them together felt particularly good-looking.

These corn husk crafts were all placed on a table.

Lu Qiaoge and Fan Xiaoyu looked at them one by one again; some had room for improvement, while others could be called perfect.

Subsequently, Lu Qiaoge patted one of the floor cushions and asked Zhao Xiaoman, "I didn't tell you to weave this, how did you think of weaving a floor cushion?"

Because this one looked like it was newly woven.

Zhao Xiaoman's face flushed red, but this was from excitement. She said, "After you told me that day, I went to Teacher Tian after I came back. What I thought at the time was, since it's for export, it must suit the other party's taste.

Just like boiling noodles, those with bad teeth hope they are boiled until soft, while those with good teeth hope they are boiled for a while so they are chewy.

It was also Teacher Tian who told me that people in South Asia like to use these floor cushions.

But we hadn't seen them, so I tried to weave one like this."

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Your idea is really good. This floor cushion has its own innovation and also happens to be the best-selling item in the current craft market."

Fan Xiaoyu's eyes were full of appreciation and admiration.

Zhao Xiaoman was not only dexterous but also had a flexible mind.

She even knew how to develop crafts suitable for export.

She knew about this floor cushion; President Chu of the Shunhe Group had mentioned it, but considering that there were already many orders and the existing people couldn't keep up, she didn't go to talk to President Chu.
