Chapter 277 Black Socks

After setting up a ladder with herringbone, Lu Jianren climbed up a few times, holding a hammer in one hand and smashing it on the wall with steel nails in the other. He was able to do these jobs of climbing high and touching lows easily and without any difficulty.

At the gate, several tables were set up, and the largest Eight Immortals table was placed at the door. Accountant Li sat on a bench and was specifically responsible for receiving gifts and paying accounts.

Next to him, Li Wenyue's father Li Shan took charge of the money and distributed candy.

Opposite, the second grandfather held a pen in his hand and placed a large stack of invitations in front of him. Someone sent a gift, so he wrote the corresponding name and gave it to someone along with the candy and invitations from Li Shan.

Now it is much simplified. In the past, invitations could not be given on site. In the afternoon of the wedding, people would be sent to send them to express their sincerity in the invitation.

In Lujia Village, overall, it is developing towards simplification and convenience.

Young people either go out to work or work in a village company. As before, dozens of people have to work for a week, and there is no need for them to work for a week.

It only takes two days to work like that, and I spend the rest of my time playing poker and nonsense.

Now I've been delayed by the last week, and people have less money to earn, and they can't afford to work.

Receive gifts, send invitations, send wedding candy, and one-stop service.

This job is not easy to do, and the master has to leave it to serious and responsible.

Lu Chun specifically advised that the maximum amount of gifts should be collected twenty, and no more points would be required.

Li Min has some opinions. After all, he has been out with money over the years, but Lu Jianguo is very clear that Lu Chun’s work is special and he cannot leave any talk.

Besides, he invested in a village company, and Lu Chun almost couldn't spend his own money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. What would he do if he had too much money?

If you don’t accept human relationships, it means you have a bad start in the village. It definitely won’t work, just symbolically.

Near the gift-giving table, many old people from the Lu family and Li family sat around several tables, eating melon seeds, drinking tea and chatting.

All of them are grandparents. Those who are a little younger are embarrassed to come over. They pull colorful flags, hang lanterns and paste wedding couplets. They also have to borrow tables, stools, plates and chopsticks to cook their own dishes. They are so busy with work today.

Sun Qinghai, who specializes in the banquet in the village, asked Hongxing to pull the big stove and build a temporary kitchen on the street through Wushan.

The purchased chicken, duck, fish and meat are temporarily stored in the village's cold storage and are temporarily taken before the fire is opened in the afternoon.

Even if the wedding banquet in Lujia Village is simplified, it has to be held for two consecutive days. It is different from the hotel dishes that pursue exquisiteness, so meat is the focus here.

Without 70% or 80% of meat and vegetables, the mat cannot be opened and people cannot eat enough.

These days, rural people are short of oil and water in their stomachs.

If dozens of people work, don’t pursue efficiency. Everyone can see the work, and even if they don’t know how to do it, they will work hard.

Even Lu Jianren, who wants to do nothing except serious things, takes people to pull threads and hang lanterns.

Lu Jiansong came from the old street, changed into a new suit, wore bright new leather shoes, and his white shirt was spotless, and he really looked like a vice principal.

When he arrived at the gate, he moved a large stool and sat next to the gift table. There was a tool box next to it. He stretched his feet to one side and sat on his side with his legs crossed.

"Uncle II, I'll help you write?"

Lu Jiansong went out his left leg, and from his ankle to his wrist to his feet, all of them were exposed. Because he was not wearing socks, the dark layer on his skin was all caressed by the breeze.

No one replied.

On the other side, Lu Jianren stood in the middle of the road and picked up a bundle of iron wire, preparing to cut it open to make a lantern hook, turned to find the tool box, and saw Lu Jiansong, especially the new leather shoes that Lu Jiansong reached out to this side.

"That over there, give me the toolbox!" Lv Jianren shouted.

Lu Jiansong ignored him and slandered his own rumor a few days ago. Who made it up? This is not a bald lice on his head!

Seeing that people pretended not to hear, Lu Jianren simply pointed at Lu Jiansong's ankle and shouted loudly: "That one over there, the one wearing big black socks, hurry up and give me the toolbox!"

Fearing that people can't hear or see, Lu Jianren shouted again: "Such new black socks, it won't be dirty with a toolbox!"

Everyone around looked at Lu Jiansong, and Lu Jiansong quickly shrank his ankles into his pants.

No matter how fast it shrinks, many people still see it.

That dark layer is not like a sock?

Accountant Li couldn't help laughing and reminded: "Jiansong, how long has it been since I took a shower?"

"It's not long." Lu Jiansong felt that it was quite normal.

Accountant Li said: "Hurry up, you should go back and wash or wear a pair of socks."

Lu Jiansong walked back: "I'll wear pair of socks."

Seeing him walking away, Li Shan said, "If you are a good teacher, you should not pay attention. You don't know how to do farm work in class, and you can learn all by copying textbooks."

Lu Jianren came over to get the toolbox, heard Li Shan say, "What's this? Brother Shan, have you forgotten? He taught Dongzi and Wen Yue to repair the house. After school in the afternoon, he went to load the soil and bulldoze as a free labourer. At most, other teachers asked to break a stick. He is good, creating history for teachers and primary school students to work as a construction worker."

Everyone saw some things, but thinking that Lu Jiansong's father didn't care about it, Li Shan said: "I also asked Dongzi and Wenyue to go to herd sheep on weekends. As a result, the two sheep were called Dongzi and beaten up. They didn't live for half a month, so I didn't find students to herd sheep."

Accountant Li couldn't help but: "My family was called to loosen the onions when planting them, saying it was an extracurricular activity."

After talking about it this time, several people didn't remember Lu Jiansong's achievements as a teacher. They only knew that he asked the children in the class to work for his house.

Lu Jianren laughed and said, "It's a good thing that's not a junior high school teacher, so he would rent out the students as a coolie."

The iron rooster walked over and continued, "Junior high school students also have to be coolies! I heard from Lanlan that the boys in the class asked the town government to pull out migrant workers for a while and digging ditches for the tap water pipes."

"This is different." Accountant Li said: "This is the job of the public, where is Jiansong?"

Lu Jianren glanced at him: "You don't listen to the radio? Have you turned aside?"

The iron cock swayed his empty wrist: "It hasn't been fixed yet."

"Aren't you showing off that Lanlan has bought you a new one when she works?" Li Shan asked.

The iron cock was surprised: "Why use the new ones if there are old ones?"

…………

In the east room where the wall was painted again, Lu Dong was leading the younger generation's photo frames, pulling colorful balls, and sticking to the wall paintings.

"The largest photo frame is hung in the middle of the head of the bed!"

Unlike outside the house, where you can only run errands and do chores in front of your elders, there are a group of younger brothers here, and Lu Dong can be a commander safely: "Li Lin, go to the left, right! Make a mark! Smash the steel nails!"

Turning back, facing the end of the bed, there was a painting with the second grandfather who had painted it and mounted it. He took a look and said, "Xiao Tao, the center point of the painting is aligned with the position where your Brother Lin marked it."

Lu Tao asked, "Brother Dong, is it good to hang paintings at the end of the bed?"

"This is what Grandpa II told me! He doesn't know much more than us?" Lu Dong said: "The second Grandpa II painted the flowers of wealth and prosperity, which means that our brother and sister-in-law are rich and prosperous!"

Li Lin has been doing decoration this year, and he smashed steel nails in a few strokes and hung wedding photo frames with Lu Guang.

The colorful balls were hung under the ceiling of the roof. Aunt Qi led several aunts in and handed them to Lu Dong: "Hurry up and put them on."

Lu Dong gave Lu Tao and Li Lin one picture, and put it on both sides of the bedside, and drew two little boys with bare butts on each.

When Aunt Qi saw that Lu Dong and others finished their work, she asked someone to carry them into the bedding from outside and started driving them out: "Don't stretch out your hands if you only have girls at home. Those with sons and children should be well-paid."

Five or six aunts started working together and quickly put out the big red bed. Uncle came in to join in the fun. As soon as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by Aunt Qi.

"Jianming, you who have given birth to two girls cannot enter the house!"

"Okay!" Lu Jianming slapped his forehead: "I'll go! I'll leave now!"

Aunt Qi called Lu Tao: "Taozi, ask your dad to come over and press the bed!"

Lu Tao hurried to call someone. Not long after, Lu Jianshe, who had both children and children, came in and according to Aunt Qi's instructions, rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed on the newly laid big red bed.

"Good things come in pairs!" Aunt Qi urged: "Do it again!"

Lu Jianshe got out again and then went out.

Aunt Qi gave Lu Dong, Li Lin and others a bag: "You guys, stuff some more under the bed and under the bedding!"

Lu Dong knew without looking at it, there were red dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds in his pocket.

A group of boys started to rush, and there were a lot of stuffed under the bed. Anyone who lay on it would feel uncomfortable.

A wedding is not only a wedding, but also a reflection of the older generation's expectations for having a noble child early.

In the groom's room, until the bride passes through the door, those who only have daughters in the house cannot even enter.

If you don’t have a son, you will have no human rights and no status at this time.

They are all from rural areas, and everyone knows that people who only have daughters generally don’t get in.

The sky gradually became darker and the temporary kitchen became busy. More than a dozen tables of dishes and cold dishes were helped by everyone, and the hot dishes were cooked by Sun Qinghai alone.

The master in charge of the chair in the countryside must have the ability to make a big fuss.

A table of banquets, standard eight plates and six large bowls, at most three or four cold dishes, and the rest are hot dishes.

As for pure dishes, there are usually only two, and the rest are meat-eating hard dishes.

The most edible thing at wedding banquets is never men. Most men drink alcohol, and middle-aged women can eat. The right to comment on whether the banquet is good or not is always in the hands of these aunts and aunts. They have been pushed forward for ten years, and in the next ten years, they have never changed.

Accountant Li couldn't help laughing and reminded: "Jiansong, how long has it been since I took a shower?"

"It's not long." Lu Jiansong felt that it was quite normal.

Accountant Li said: "Hurry up, you should go back and wash or wear a pair of socks."

Lu Jiansong walked back: "I'll wear pair of socks."

Seeing him walking away, Li Shan said, "If you are a good teacher, you can't pay attention to it. You don't know how to do farm work in class. You just need to copy textbooks when learning."

Lu Jianren came over to get the toolbox, heard Li Shan's words and said, "What's this? Brother Shan, have you forgotten? He taught Dongzi and Wen Yue to repair the house. After school in the afternoon, he went to load the soil and bulldoze as a free labourer. Other teachers at most asked to break a stick. He is good, creating the history of the teacher and a primary school student construction worker."
