Chapter 107 The Car Comes to Welcome the Bride

I forgot to take off the big front door I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in the car, so I dug it into my pants pocket and took out the Sanwu cigarettes in the space.

After opening the cigarette shell, Luo Chengshi immediately took out one and handed it over.

Many people present have only heard of cigarettes with holders but have never seen them. During the past two years of disasters, many people who smoked stopped smoking. Even if you don’t need a ticket to buy shredded tobacco, you still have to pay in advance. Many people drink water every day and are not sure they have enough to eat. How can they have the spare money to buy cut tobacco and roll it themselves?

The captain didn't dare to put on airs in front of Luo Cheng. After all, he was also a captain and had seen more of the market than others. At least he often has to deal with some units in the town. A formal worker will indeed look high on him, but only a little. There is no need to go out of your way to be polite or anything like that. But those who can drive a car back are definitely not as simple as ordinary workers. They are not just looked at with high regard, but must be taken seriously.

The captain took the cigarette, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. There was a unique fragrance of tobacco, as expected of a cigarette holder. This is definitely not comparable to ordinary cigarettes.

"Come on, captain, I'll light it up for you."

Luo Cheng took out his lighter and politely went to light the captain's cigarette, but the captain had never seen such a lighter. It’s not that there were no lighters in this era, but they were all iron-cased and roller-type ones. But the leaders in the town usually use matches to smoke, and ordinary people cannot afford lighters.

With a light press, fire came out. Luo Cheng lit the fire, and the captain immediately put the cigarette to his mouth and started to light it. After lighting the cigarette, he quickly said that was too polite.

This is just for the captain, but not for the relatives. Luo Cheng took the car keys, opened the car, and took out the two bags from the front door.

"Dad, take it and give everyone some cigarettes to smoke."

I threw two packs of cigarettes and threw one pack to my father, Luo Wen. Now that everyone is here, I can’t afford a meal, but it’s not a big problem to take some cigarettes. Big front door, good smoke. Even if you have never smoked, you have heard of it. A pack costs 35 cents, and one stick costs nearly two cents. A pound of stick noodles is only five cents. If you buy sweet potatoes, a pound of sweet potatoes only costs one or two cents.

Not to mention the famine years, even in the past not many people in the town could afford this. Father Luo Wen took the cigarette and happily opened it to scatter cigarettes for relatives. And as soon as the smoke dissipated, everyone could see that there was no cigarette holder in this big 35-cent-a-pack at the front door. Although the pack on Luo Cheng's body was an unnamed cigarette.

It seems that there is a kind of cigarette in the legend called special supply. Could it be that this unnamed cigarette is specially smoked by certain people. It's not for takeout either, so I won't use my name at all. Many people present murmured inwardly. The more inexperienced a person is, the stronger his brain power is.

His father was smoking cigarettes, and Luo Cheng didn't stop either. His two uncles and uncles were smoking cigarettes themselves. As an elder, he had to take the initiative to offer one.

Not long after, Luo Bing came out wearing new clothes, although they looked very ordinary, just the top. But this is very good in rural areas. How can you get fabrics to make clothes these days?

At this time, I didn't expect that my mother's relatives from my mother's side would come over together. Grandpa and grandma look the same as grandma, but they have become thinner, but you can still tell. The uncle and others brought their children, and there was also a little aunt, but she came alone without her children.

Because the aunt is also married to the Wang family, the relationship between the uncle and her children is somewhat distant. At least the children on the uncle's side still have the same surname as their mother, while the aunt's side no longer has the surname Wang. When my aunt gets old, my mother may not associate with her anymore.

With their arrival, cousins ​​can also join the procession of welcoming the bride.

I gave away a cigarette to my two uncles and grandpa, and it was already getting late. Compared with going to Qinlingkou to welcome the bride, I didn’t come back directly as soon as I left. Over there, I might have to chat for a while and drink some sugar water or something.

We drove to pick up the bride, two cousins ​​plus two cousins, a total of six people. There is no need for those who are younger to go. If in future generations, if you bring someone younger, you can still get a red envelope, and you will be a golden boy and so on.

Six people can squeeze in, and one car is enough. As long as they can squeeze in, there is no such thing as overloading in this era.

The rocker key was left in the sleeping room yesterday. When Luo Cheng went to get the key, Shishi was already cleaning the room. She would go directly to this room to wait for the bride to welcome her. Luo Cheng and his sisters' belongings were temporarily placed in their parents' room.

When I took the joystick key and started the car, almost everyone present came out to take a look. Even my mother who was busy in the kitchen came out. They had never been in a car in their lives.

As soon as the car started, Luo Cheng called the people who were going to welcome the bride to get in the car. Luo Bing took the passenger seat, and the other four people squeezed into the back seat. They were all thin anyway, so it was easy to squeeze in.

The people who got on the bus were a little nervous at first. Not to mention that they had never ridden in a car, and neither had their parents.

The entrance to Qinling Mountain is neither far nor close. The roads in the town, even dirt roads, are easy to drive as long as they are wide enough. But if you want to drive the car directly to your sister-in-law Qin Ru's house, it won't work. There is a path that is more than one meter wide. Two bicycles can pass at the same time, but cars cannot pass it and will hit other people's vegetable fields.

The only option is to park at the intersection where the main road meets the small road, and then walk a short distance to Qin's house.

So after the car drove to the intersection, all six people got out of the car. Luo Cheng gave Luo Bing the remaining pack of cigarettes in the car and asked him to remember to take out the cigarettes.

In this era, a village may be connected at an intersection. The car actually stopped at the boundary of the village on the Qinling side. Many people at Qinlingkou saw the car, and after six people got off, some villagers came up to ask what they were doing.

When they heard that they were here to welcome a bride, many people knew which house they were going to. There are very few people getting married these days. If a family wants to marry their daughter today, everyone in the village will know about it soon. Today is the day when Qin Ru, the girl, is getting married. People in the village know a lot about it. They all say that she married in the town and lived a good life, but they have never heard of anyone driving a car to pick her up.

So some good people knew that the village chief was at Qin Ru's house today, so they went directly to report to them.

And there are rules for sending off brides. There are people waiting outside to pick up brides. Those who come to pick up relatives cannot wait for them to come by themselves, but must welcome them in at a certain intersection or somewhere.

"Village chief, the Datian family's wedding team is here. They still drove here in this car, but the car is parked at the boundary intersection. It seems that it can't drive in. The people got out of the car and walked over."

Came by car? When the old village chief heard this, he couldn't sit still at Qin Datian's house. The leaders in the town didn't have this attitude. Didn't this mean that the daughter of the Datian family was marrying a brother who only worked in the city? A whole car came over to welcome the bride. This was definitely not an ordinary working man. Don't wait at Da Tian's house, go out and check the situation.

Qin Datian's family was also confused. They brought a car to welcome the bride. Today they called so many people to see the bride off because they wanted everyone to know that their daughter was marrying well. At the same time, I also let my son-in-law know not to bully his daughter just because he is from the town. There are many people in my daughter's natal family, and they are not easy to mess with.

But when a car comes over, no matter how many people there are in the Qin family, they can't suppress the other party. Since they can't be suppressed, they should join in quickly. Let the people in this family see how well their daughter marries. So after Qin Datian heard the news, he trotted to the roadside to watch.

It will be available on the shelves the day after tomorrow. I think it has some interesting features, but many people are dismissive of it, saying they won’t read it, just keep reading, and skip ordering. Like Flawed Cloth, it is said to be drawing cakes again, but it is mainly an introduction to obtaining items. I also want to say that in this era, although the world is dominated by the working class, some factories will still make profits through some methods. Flawed fabrics appear every year. Even in garment factories, the scraps are just small pieces of fabric and have not entered the market. It’s all handled internally, and that’s what the chapter I wrote earlier expresses. It's not just a painting scene that really runs around.
