A guide to get married in the 70s

48

Hu Donglei left on the third day after marrying Lian Yanmei, saying he was going to Lian Yanmei's parents' home.

Before marrying Lian Yanmei, Hu Donglei told her that he would accompany her home.

Anyway, he didn't need the money for the trip.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for educated youth to take such a long leave, but because Lian Yanmei usually performed very well, and Hu Donglei gave Fang Shulin two boxes of cigarettes, he took the leave and went home.

As soon as they left, something happened at the homes of Hu Donglei's two uncles.

His uncle drank with someone at night and got drunk. When he was going home, he was tripped by something and fell with a bloody head. He went to the hospital for several stitches.

Three old hens that were laying eggs in his second uncle's house were stolen overnight. Hu Donglei's second aunt hugged the chicken coop and cried for the whole morning, crying and cursing, "It must be Donglei, the bastard, who did it."

Others couldn't stand it and said to her, "You can blame Donglei for this, Donglei is not at home."

"If it wasn't him, who else could it be?"

"Then who knows? Think about it carefully, who have you offended?"

No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't think of anyone else except Hu Donglei.

But Hu Donglei was not at home, and no matter how much they hated him, they could only bear this loss.

The two pieces of cloth that Li Xiufen brought over, one big and one small.

The big one is blue with white florals. Ye Huan likes it very much and wants to make a dress out of it, but she doesn't know if there is enough fabric.

Aunt Wu told her, "You go find Quangui's mother. She is the tailor of our farm. Everyone in the farm who wants to make clothes goes to her. If you think her work is not good enough, you can go to the town. There is also a tailor on Daqing Street. That person is a little older, but his skills are okay, but the style of the clothes he makes is a little old-fashioned. The clothes made by Quangui's mother are more fashionable."

Ye Huan, "Then I will ask Liu Quangui's mother to do it. Where does she live?"

Aunt Wu, "It's in the family compound of our farm. Go straight in. It's the first house on the right in the last row. If you can't remember the way, ask after you get to the family compound. Just say you are looking for Cui Hongying. Everyone in the family compound knows her."

Ye Huan took advantage of a day off to find Cui Hongying to make a skirt.

Their farm is large, and the family compound is at the northernmost part of the farm. It would take more than half an hour to walk from Houhu Village.

Ye Huan planned to ride a bike there.

She had basically never ridden a bike, mainly because her work was close by and there was no need to ride a bike.

She rarely went to town when she had nothing to do, so the bike was always parked in the house.

As soon as she pushed the bike out, she heard someone outside calling her, "Ye Zhiqing!"

She looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Hu, and there was a 10-year-old boy beside her, her grandson Erdan.

Mrs. Hu often came to look for Liu Shuiqin. Ye Huan thought she was looking for Liu Shuiqin again, so she said to her, "Sister Shuiqin is not at home. She went to the farm."

Mrs. Hu had already pulled Erdan in, "I'm not looking for her. I'm just passing by. Ye Zhiqing, are you going to ride your bike out?"

"Yes."
