Chapter 116: Get married (116)
Mo Hongmei returned home, put down her harsh words, and left the house.
Leaving the two elders looking at each other, Qi Xiulan looked at her wife worriedly and said, "Old man, what should we do next? Hongmei has been spoiled by us and cannot be easily changed."
"I..." Mo Guangming clenched his jaw and looked at her without blinking, thinking for a while, "I don't know what to do?"
"We've met that young man from Team Chen, he's pretty good." Qi Xiulan said in a low voice, "He's a perfect match for Hongmei."
"You were frightened by Hongmei. The enemy hasn't tortured you yet! You rebelled so quickly." Mo Guangming looked at her dissatisfied and said.
"You're worried about Captain Chen's work. The risk is too high. I'm not afraid of Hongmei..." Qi Xiulan swallowed the word "widow". "Every day, people die and are hit by cars while walking. This food Things can choke people to death! Accidents like this happen every day."
"You surrendered without even persisting." Mo Guangming looked at his rebellious wife with dumbfounded eyes.
"Why are you still insisting! Hongmei is not eighteen, she is already twenty-three. She really wants to stay and become an old girl!" Qi Xiulan said angrily, "If you don't stay in the female university, you will become enemies if you stay here and there."
"Just go with her wishes." Mo Guangming looked at her hesitantly and shook his head slightly, "No."
"What are you still insisting on?" Qi Xiulan blinked her eyes and looked at him and said, "That girl directly stopped us from going to Captain Chen." She pursed her lips and said, "This girl has been spoiled by us."
"We can't simply surrender. We have to talk to Captain Chen." Mo Guangming said firmly.
"Hongmei just said we are not allowed to see Captain Chen." Qi Xiulan said worriedly.
"It's okay to let that girl be present!" Mo Guangming said reluctantly.

Mo Hongying didn't know what Mo Guangming and the others were talking about. She only knew that the wedding date had been set and they were getting married on November.
"Look! I told you, parents can't control their children." Mo Hongying took Gu Shanshan to night school on her bicycle.
"I wonder what they were talking about?" Gu Shanshan asked very curiously.
"Children, stop asking." Mo Hongying looked back at her and said.
Since Mo Hongmei's marriage was settled, preparations began.
On November 1st, the weather was beautiful, the autumn air was crisp, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the weather was neither cold nor hot and it was very comfortable.
With the increase in income in the 1980s, watches, bicycles and sewing machines, the three major items that people in the 1970s were proud to own, have become no longer uncommon.
People began to move toward electrical appliances and pursued the three new wedding items, which became refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines.
Even though the refrigerator has a single door and is still small, the TV is black and white, more than ten inches, and the washing machine has a single cylinder. People also think life is sweeter than honey.
Mo Hongmei's dowry is quite rich. The refrigerator needs to be a bigger one, the washing machine has a double tank, and there is a floor fan.
Those who came to see the excitement were envious and pointed at the dowry.
"The old Mo family is at a loss! There are so many escorts."
"This alone is enough to make people envious."
"Xiao Mo can do it, so if you are willing!"
"This man is really crazy. Take a look at the household appliances here."
"He just doesn't do anything, and he still has a capable and beautiful wife."
"The man also has a large color TV, a 21-inch one."
"Wow...it's bigger than the color TV in our video room."
"Yes! It's good to have money!"
"This is not nonsense. Who doesn't know how good it is to have money?"
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that thieves will notice me if I'm so ostentatious!"
"Do you know who the groom is?"
"Public security, or criminal police, who lives in the family home of the Public Security Bureau, who wants to steal things there?"
"Wow...this man's conditions are very good!"
"Is our little Mocha good?"
"Hey! They're all cardboard boxes, but they're real things!"
"It's stupid! The real thing has been placed in the new house a long time ago. The cardboard box is light and not afraid of being bumped."
“It’s such a delicate item, but it doesn’t hurt to death if it bangs!”
"Can you put down such a large dowry?"
"Two houses, a bungalow. If you can put it down, you have to stuff it in."
Mo Hongying shook her head and laughed when she heard this. These people knew really well.
"We don't think much. It would be nice to have a color TV, so we don't have to crowd into the video room."
"The color TV costs more than a thousand, how can I afford it?"
"With dual incomes, the family burden cannot be heavy, otherwise we have to save money!"
"Stop being envious, stick your butt out and do it honestly!"
"Fortunately, the factory has new products, otherwise we would have had to drink from the northwest wind."
"Hey! I heard that a lot of machines in the cotton spinning mill have stopped."
"Cotton spinning factory! That factory that was once as famous as us is booming! It was once an enviable factory."
"The defective products were all snapped up."
“Why can’t the product be sold?”
"Their products have remained the same for decades, so of course no one wants them."
"Their products are strong and durable! The fabric has been worn for many years, and the color is very bright, wear-resistant and durable."
"Just look at our work clothes, they are durable."
“But people these days are looking for novelty.”
"The old products of our machinery factory are not good and cannot be sold. They only produce small household appliances. Who wants those big, black, thick, strong and durable products?"
"There's nothing we can do about it."
"That's a big factory with tens of thousands of people!"
"You can only hope for happiness."
This topic was going nowhere, and he looked sad, but at the same time he was grateful that his factory was currently booming.
Mo Hongying didn't go to get married for unknown reasons. The key was that no one could help her because she wasn't allowed to go anyway.
Mo Hongying had no choice but to pull Gu Shanshan toward the factory cafeteria.
Nowadays, there are not many restaurants outside that cater to wedding banquets. Fortunately, the factory cafeteria is big enough for seating.
"Don't worry about that Hongying!" Qi Xiulan chased after her and said.
"What?" Mo Hongying looked back at her in confusion and asked.
"I didn't ask you to get married." Qi Xiulan comforted her and said, "In fact, you are going to get married. The family is harmonious, the husband and wife are loving, and the children are filial."
"I understand." Mo Hongying shook her head and laughed, "No, I also hope Hongmei is happy." She smiled and said, "I understand, I understand."
"This wedding ceremony is very particular. It doesn't conflict with the groom's or bride's zodiac sign." Qi Xiulan briefly explained the rules of the wedding ceremony.
"Isn't this feudal superstition?" Gu Shanshan raised her big eyes and looked at her grandma and said.
"These revolutionary weddings in the past few years were also due to poverty and simplicity. Now? Life has improved, and naturally I want to organize the wedding well. After all, it is a lifetime event." Qi Xiulan said as she walked.
"I don't have anything? Really." Mo Hongying looked at Qi Xiulan who was trying her best to gather reasons and said with a smile, "Actually, it's okay if you don't say it. I really don't understand this, just follow the arrangements."
