Chapter 41

"Cao Weiguo, you really have ability."

The two were being affectionate when the Third Aunt ran over and shouted.

The porter master had already been led by the neighbors to move the sewing machine to the back courtyard.

The Second Aunt looked at the brand-new sewing machine, her eyes red with envy.

The neighbors also stared at the sewing machine enviously, as if looking at a rare treasure.

"Thank you, Master!"

Cao Cao Weiguo settled the bill for the porter master and grabbed a big handful of wedding candy for each of them.

The Third Aunt asked: "Cao Weiguo, how much is this sewing machine?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "One hundred and seventy-six Brother Yuan."

The neighbors were sour with envy; this was really a big deal.

Bicycle!

Sewing machine!

It's amazing for an ordinary family to have one of the three wheels and one sound.

Cao Cao Weiguo bought two big items at a young age.

It's really people comparing with people, making people angry!

After sending away the neighbors who were watching the excitement, Cao Cao Weiguo and Song Song Yulan cooked together.

After eating, Cao Cao Weiguo rode to send Song Song Yulan home.

After arriving in the village, he distributed a wave of wedding candy, winning the blessings of the villagers.

Seeing the sky getting dark, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't stay long.

After Cao Cao Weiguo left, Song Song Yulan took out the marriage certificate, new clothes, and also talked about the sewing machine.

Hearing that Cao Cao Weiguo bought a sewing machine immediately after registering.

This kind of financial power shocked the Song family, and also made the sister-in-law Zhou Zhou Guixiang full of envy.

Among the hundreds of households in the whole village, only the village head's family had a sewing machine.

Song Song Yulan had a brand-new sewing machine to use as soon as she married over.

This is really falling into a lucky nest.

The Sihe Academy

Saturday

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't go to work and was preparing for tomorrow's banquet at home.

The First Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Lou Xiao'e, and several neighbor aunties and uncles helped arrange the tables and chairs.

Cao Cao Weiguo was not stingy, personally cooking at noon, and set up a big table of dishes.

Braised pork, steamed carp, minced meat with tofu, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed pork with vermicelli...

A table of hard dishes made the uncles and aunties surprised and dumbfounded, swallowing their saliva constantly.

Even the deaf old lady who rarely went out was tempted to come out, and was helped by the First Aunt to sit at the table to eat.

Cao Cao Weiguo hadn't spoken more than five sentences to the deaf old lady, but he still entertained the old lady enthusiastically.

Listening to the laughter of the Cao family, the neighbors who didn't come to help regretted it, and Jia Jia Zhangshi cursed at home.

After having a full meal, the uncles and aunties worked more diligently.

In one day's work, they cleaned up the Cao family to look brand new, and the tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks used for the banquet were also neatly arranged.

In the evening, young people like Xu Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard.

These young people rushed into the Cao family to work, and Cao Cao Weiguo generously took out cigarettes and candy to entertain them.

Under the pull of Qin Qin Huairu and the First Aunt, Seeing Shazhu took the initiative to say he would be the chef for the wedding banquet.

Although Cao Cao Weiguo had already invited a chef who cooked at a state-run restaurant, he naturally wouldn't push Seeing Shazhu away since he was willing to help.

Tomorrow is a happy day, and he doesn't want to cause any unpleasantness. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====

The next day at dawn, before the sky was bright, Liu Liu Limin rode his bicycle to the Sihe Academy.

Immediately after, Li Dong and Ma Liang also arrived with kitchen workers.

Seeing Shazhu, Li Dong, Ma Liang, and others stayed at home to prepare food.

Cao Cao Weiguo, Xu Xu Damao, and Liu Liu Limin rode their bicycles to pick up the bride.

When the three arrived at Shangti Village, the village entrance was already crowded with villagers.

"The groom is here!"

"Whoa! Three bicycles!"

"The Song family really found a good son-in-law!"

Looking at the three bicycles, the villagers' eyes were full of envy.

Bicycles were treasures in this era, and there were not even five in the whole commune.

There was only one second-hand bicycle in the village head's family in their village.

There were quite a few girls in the village who married into the city, but it was considered impressive if there was one bicycle to pick up the bride.

"Uncles and aunties, uncles, older brothers and sisters... dear villagers!"

"From today on, I am the son-in-law of Shangti Village. The wedding candy I brought is not much, but it is also a token of my heart."

Cao Cao Weiguo carried a bag of wedding candy and scattered it in big handfuls.

"It's White Rabbit!"

"So much candy!"

"This young man is good!"

The villagers were full of joy, and Song Hu welcomed them with a smile: "Brother-in-law, come into the village quickly!"

"The groom is here!"

"The groom is picking up the bride!"

Cao Cao Weiguo arrived at the Song family, visited the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and distributed wedding candy to everyone.

Amidst the laughter, Cao Cao Weiguo saw the bride.

Song Song Yulan was wearing a white printed shirt, with a red flower pinned to her chest, and rouge on her face.

It was very rustic in later generations, but in Cao Cao Weiguo's eyes, she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Cao Cao Weiguo said sincerely: "Wife, from now on, I will love you, cherish you, until the end of time!"

Song Song Yulan was shy and moving: "Cao Weiguo, today is my happiest day."

"So sweet!"

"The bride is so beautiful!"

"Groom, hug the bride!"

Amidst the teasing of the relatives, Cao Cao Weiguo hugged Song Song Yulan.

"Groom is hugging the bride!"

He carried Song Song Yulan out the door and gently placed her on the back seat of the bicycle.

The Song family sent wedding quilts, thermos bottles, washbasins, and spittoons.

Cao Cao Weiguo said excitedly: "Wife, hold on tight, we're going home!"

"Mm."

Song Song Yulan hummed happily and hugged Cao Cao Weiguo's waist tightly.

When they came, it was a group of people, and when they went back, it became a big team.

Not only were there those picking up the bride, but also those sending the bride.

The bride-picking team rode their bicycles home first, and the courtyard immediately became lively.

Master Chen Chen Baoshu's family, Deputy Factory Manager Li, and a group of directors and deputy directors all arrived at the Sihe Academy.

Cao Cao Weiguo led Song Song Yulan to Chen Chen Baoshu: "Master, this is my wife, Song Song Yulan. Song Yulan, greet Master."

Song Song Yulan greeted Chen Chen Baoshu properly: "Hello, Master."

Chen Chen Baoshu said with satisfaction: "Good, Cao Weiguo. Song Yulan, you two must live a good life in the future and have more big fat boys."

Song Song Yulan's face was flushed, and Cao Cao Weiguo grinned and said: "Guaranteed to complete the task."

After meeting Master Chen Chen Baoshu, Cao Cao Weiguo and Song Song Yulan distributed wedding candy together. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
