Chapter 476 Shouting

(The date of the previous chapter was wrong and has been significantly revised. If it seems incoherent, please scroll up.)

Han Li was not surprised at all after hearing this. Everyone has their own small circle. They may not know who they heard the news from, but they probably had incomplete information. If they knew that they already had a partner and were engaged, they probably wouldn't. So many people are looking for it.

And don’t think that girls in this era are not materialistic, vain, or ambitious. It would be a bit ridiculous for anyone to think so.

Materialism, love of vanity, and comparison are almost engraved in the bones of human nature, and they will not change much no matter what era it is.

Otherwise, where did the jingle come from that the first army, second cadre, and third worker will never marry a farmer? Moreover, this jingle is almost the standard for choosing a spouse for most women in this era. If this is called not materialistic and not fond of vanity, , It would be really ridiculous not to climb the high branches.

They were only limited by the information of the times, as well as the current environment, communications, the inability to circulate people, the ratio of men to women, and other reasons, which resulted in that each of them had only a limited number of targets and people to choose from.

The reason why you don’t want a house is because the current houses cannot be bought or sold. All houses are allocated by the state, work units, and factories.

If you don't want three golds, it's because no one dares to wear three golds now, unless you want to be dragged out to the street to enjoy rotten vegetables and leaves.

He didn't want a car because there were no cars at all, otherwise Han Li wouldn't have caused a sensation riding a three-span car.

But they will choose based on the existing ones, such as industry, job, pacesetter, etc.

If they have the same job and the same personality, but different family conditions and living environment, what do you think they will choose?

Moreover, before girls get married in this era, they can also ask for several pieces of bride price, three rings and one ring, and new clothes.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no girls who are not materialistic. There are such people in every era, but whether they are in this era or in future generations, they are all phoenix-like existences. You must cherish them when you meet them.

There is also what later generations will say: Grandpa married grandma with only half a bucket of rice, dad married mom with half a pig, but my marriage cost my parents half their lives.

But have you ever considered that in Grandpa’s time, rice was expensive and not everyone could afford it? Moreover, if you take out this half a bucket of rice, you can definitely save the lives of a whole family, or this half a bucket of rice can be the life of their entire family. human life.

In my father's time, pork was expensive, and formal workers only had a few taels of meat stamps per month. What would it be like for the family to save half a pig? According to the standards of workers in 49 cities, heavy manual laborers only get 8 taels of meat stamps per month.

The country's current standard for purchasing pigs is no less than 120 kilograms. Half a pig is 60 kilograms. It would take 75 months for one person to save, which is nearly six and a half years.

During this period, the family cannot eat any meat during the New Year, holidays, or when they are sick, so that they can collect the gift of half a pig. Not counting other expenses, these things together can cost half the life of the family. ?

In later generations, houses became more expensive, cars were more expensive, and betrothal gifts became more expensive. Therefore, marriage has never been an easy thing from ancient times to the present, but the needs of each era are different.

Those marriage partners with good conditions, regardless of whether they are men or women, are scarce in any era. As long as you are not stupid, you will know how to choose.

However, the value of bride price in this era is still very high. Basically, there will be no takers, or some men can’t bear it and write dozens of pages of apps to expose their wives’ cheating.

A man like Han Li is handsome, an only son, and has a good family situation. He has been like this since he was in school, and it is still like this now.

Han Li's casual answers made Yu Daqiang ask again from the side.

"Then they are really going to organize it, will you go?"

"Go, why don't you go?"

"Didn't you hate this situation the most before? Did you change your nature after going to the countryside?"

"I didn't like to get together with my classmates before. It was because they were doing things all day long and had no peace of mind. If I was implicated, I would be wronged. Now everyone jumps in and goes to the countryside. What else can we do? Besides, we are all grown up, and we should participate in these social interactions to maintain the friendship between classmates."

"Then you're not afraid that they will stalk you then?"

"I'm already engaged, so it's useless for them to pester me. This time I just announced it to make some people who are still thinking about me give up."

"Okay, anyway, just make up your mind. We'll decide the date when the time comes."

After Han Li sent Yu Daqiang away, he returned to the house to read, practice calligraphy, and play chess with his two sisters. He lived a simple and unpretentious life.

But just as Yu Daqiang said, Han Xiaomei was found by several classmates today.

When she looked at these classmates, their skin and mental outlook were completely different from when they were in school. It was just a little better than when she had nothing to do on the platform and looked at those people who came to Sijiu City from below. If this happened again, I'm afraid it will look exactly the same in two years, right?

Thinking about it, if her brother hadn't gone to the countryside for her, she wouldn't be much different from these classmates. Thinking of this, Xiaomei Han became even more grateful to her brother.

When Han Xiaomei was looking at these classmates, they were also looking at Han Xiaomei. Looking at her face that had not been exposed to the sun and wind, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. However, both sides soon held each other's hands and started chatting affectionately.

"Jiahui, Yuhong, Dajuan, I'm so happy to see you. When did you come back?"

"We just arrived recently, but Chunying, you are amazing. You have become a worker in the railway bureau in a blink of an eye, and you work in an office. We are so envious."

"That's right, Chunying, you are the best one in our class. When I first heard about it, I thought I heard it wrong. I didn't expect it to be true."

"Chunying is so lucky. When she went to the countryside, her brother took her place. Now she has such a good job. We can't do that. We can only join the team and go to the countryside honestly. But what about your brother Han Li? How is he now?"

Han Xiaomei knows the little thoughts of these classmates very well. It was like this when she was in school and it is still like this now. If it were before, she would directly help her brother to block these bad peach blossoms, but her time in the office was not in vain. Facing these classmates, she smiled and said.

"Everyone is the same. Whatever we do, isn't it serving the people? That's what my brother thinks and does. To be honest, my current job was obtained by my brother. He said that he was also working for the country's construction in the countryside, so he gave me this job."

"What? Your brother Han Li got this job?"

"Yes?"

"But how could Han Li get a job in the city when he went to the countryside to join the team?"

"Hehe, my brother has the luck and ability."

"How is your brother now? Does he really plan to stay in the countryside for the rest of his life?"

"My brother has found a confidant there who will work together and share the joys and sorrows for the rest of his life. If they come back, they will come back together."

"What? Your brother actually found a partner?"

Then Han Xiaomei talked nonsense with this group of classmates, and directly broke up their original little thoughts. They didn't mention the class reunion until they separated, but it was unknown what would happen next.

After Han Xiaomei got home from get off work, she immediately came to Han Li's room. She hugged the arm of an unknown cloud and talked about this matter.

Han Li didn't take it to heart as before after hearing this. He said without any concern.

"It's not bad if the class reunion is cancelled for this reason. At least we can see clearly what kind of people they are. If we have the opportunity to get along with each other in the future, we can just get along well on the surface. We don't have to count this friendship as a classmate."

The Yun sisters have heard Han Xiaomei talk about these things when they were in school a lot recently, so they didn't take it to heart either. However, in order to thank this sister-in-law, Yun Jingjing said.

"Xiaomei, you are right. I will buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Really, I want to eat ice cream."

When Han Xiaomei mentioned ice cream, the Yun sisters also became greedy. They all cast their eyes on Han Li.

Han Li smiled and said, "It's easy to eat ice cream. I'll make the tools tomorrow, and we'll make ice cream at home. You can eat as much as you want and whatever flavor you want."

"Brother, can you make ice cream?"

"It's just an ice cream, what's so difficult about it? I can make popsicles and ice cream. You'll see tomorrow. Just be careful not to make yourself sick."

Han Xiaomei was so happy to hear this. Although she was working, she turned in all her salary, just to save more money for her brother to buy a good job, or to buy some big things when he got married. If it weren't for Han's mother forcing some money into her hands every month for emergency, she would have made a jingling sound when she walked.

Han Xiaomei thought about eating enough ice cream, and she shouted the hawking sounds she heard when she was a child.

"Ice cream. It's really cold. Ice cream. It's snowy yogurt. If you like it cold, just say so."

Han Xiaomei's shouting made the Yun sisters shout the same shouting as when they were young. For a moment, the room became a concentration camp of street vendors.

"The buns are hot, they keep on shouting. This bun is hot. The buns made with leavened dough should be hot.

"Honey, there's a lot of rock sugar in the gourd."

"The sour plum soup has the taste of osmanthus, the water from Yuquan Mountain, the ice from Dongzhimen, it's cool in the mouth, and there's a lot of it. The soup is delicious."

"Selling leeks, pheasant neck leeks."

"Sharpening scissors, choking kitchen knives."

"You can drink it if you want, add a lot of cold water."

"The Chinese toon with tender buds. "

Han Li watched them playing like children, with a smile on his face. He wanted to join in the cheering, but he really couldn't keep up.
