National Beer

Some people describe the comfortable life in Qinwan as: Harbin beer, eating clams, and taking a sea bath.

In Qin Dong's memory, in the past two decades, this kind of comfortable life has not disappeared or changed in the slightest. It has been living, going on, and full of vitality among the citizens.

Cooling off the heat in the sea, playing in the water and playing in the sand, the first beach in Qinwan, from a distance, looks like dumplings, full of people who come here to "play in the water".

Qin Dong looked at Du Xiaoju beside him, his upper body was wrapped tightly.But this also showed her good figure, especially the two big long legs, which were shining brightly by the sea, and she was so beautiful.

From a psychological point of view, physical contact is a natural and normal expression of love between lovers.

But at this time young people still dare not make mistakes in public, and they will be gossiped about if they have a little intimate behavior.

Only at this time, a little intimate physical contact with the body will not be criticized.

"What are you looking at?" Du Xiaoju subconsciously pulled at the hem of her skirt. Although the two were about to get engaged, she was still not used to being intimate with Qin Dong in such a dress.

"Look at my daughter-in-law." Qin Dong smiled and leaned forward to her, "It's so good to take a bath in the sea every day!"

"It's not your wife yet." Du Xiaoju stretched out his hand and twisted him, but Qin Dong immediately took her hand, and the two ran into the depths of the sea...

Covered in sea water, lying on the scorching sea sand, Du Xiaoju smiled and buried him in the sand. "Comfortable!" Qin Dong shouted, "Juer, come here, I have something to say to you."

"What are you doing?" Du Xiaoju glanced at him with a smile, and then bent down.

Oh, there was a white touch in front of him, and Qin Dong immediately wanted to drink a bottle of cold beer on this hot summer day, "Juer, I want to get engaged soon..."

...

There are several things in a person's life that are very sacred, and engagement is one of them.

In the hearts of Qinwan people, engagement is a big day second only to marriage. Xiaojuma took the willow branches and asked someone to do it seriously. At the end of the day, Du Yuan was really impatient, and turned over the month card. Just set a date.

Before the engagement, Lao Qin’s family had to prepare some things, such as engagement rings, gift money (commonly known as engagement money), and Xiao Liu. Willow branches also prepared two red envelopes, two red belts, and two sets in accordance with the tradition of the older generation. clothes.

"The mother-in-law’s jacket is worn until old." The padded jacket is indispensable in the two sets of clothes. The padded jacket is intimate and has a good face. Although at this time, young people rarely wear padded jackets, and they all wear sweaters. Padded jackets can only be used for pressure Bottom of the box.

With the red jacket, golden silk, and the willow branches threading needles under the green shade, the courtyard was full of women from the neighbors amid the cicadas.

"I got engaged in 1952. My aunt suddenly went to my house and took four catties of meat, six catties of dim sum, and 60 yuan, which is considered a very high-end wedding gift..." The year-old woman smiled and said that she was very sincere in the 1950s, and if she took something from someone else, it was equal to the family's decision.

"In 1962, when the economy was difficult, I was not so particular about it. The whole family had to save food for several months. On the day of the engagement, we would give out some steamed buns and make some noodles for each family..."

"I got engaged in 1972. At that time, the conditions were good." An elder sister sat next to Liu Zhi, with memories flashing in her eyes. "When I got engaged, I bought sweets and snacks from my partner and returned them to For 200 yuan, let me go to Shanghai to buy clothes..."

Listening to their memories, Liu Zhi raised her head and smiled from time to time. The needle pricked her finger with a bright red trickle. She smiled and put her finger in her mouth. When she got engaged, it seemed like Qin Shihuang bought her a red. The turban, but the red turban is still deep in the bottom of the box...

Today, Dadong went to buy a ring for Xiaoju, and she ordered one of them to buy a better one...

...

In a shop near Fushun Road Wholesale Market, business is booming with people coming and going every day.

The rumbling sound of the slaughter stopped, and two young men, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, squeezed in. "Manager, give me six catties...sorghum glutinous rice." Lu Xuguang shouted.

"Six catties of prawns." Du Xiaoshu jumped up immediately, there were too many people, or the lady boss couldn't look at him.

"Sorghum syrup," Lu Xuguang flicked on Du Xiaoshu's head smoothly, "it's...ah, sorghum syrup."

"Brother Daguang, you love to eat sorghum syrup, right." Du Xiaoshu said angrily, "I want sorghum syrup, no, I was wrong, I want prawn crisps!"

"What do you want?" The female manager smiled, "Or, three catties of sorghum and three catties of prawn crisps."

"Ah, it's done." Lu Xuguang said with a sharp smile.

After buying the wedding candy, he drove into the wholesale market again, "Ah, boss, I want six catties of pork, one size fits all..."

Lu Xuguang ate a piece of sorghum syrup. In Qinwan, as long as it is cut across the board, the meat seller must know that it is for engagement.

"Okay,...ah, Master Qin’s son is engaged, and his sons are engaged. Then I will cut you some thin, five-flowered..." These days, fat is no longer popular, and everyone likes to be thin again. Meat out.

After coming out of the meat market, the two came to the fish market eating sweets, "Buy fish, six."

As soon as Du Xiaoshu put a piece of prawn crisps into his mouth, Lu Xuguang slapped again, "Don't eat it, this is for engagement... Engagement, less than six catties,...what should I do?"

"You don't eat less than me," Du Xiaoshu retorted. The sugar was originally intended to be delivered to his home. He bought half of the sorghum syrup, but he had already given in. The sorghum syrup also allowed Lu Xuguang to eat a half. The squat of the mouth does not squat at all when eating sugar.

"Oh, you are going to get engaged," the fish seller looked at these two hundred and five hundred and five. "You said earlier, I almost got you wrong..."

The six fish must be fishes with scales. In Qinwan, they are basically yellow croakers. They represent the yellow croaker. Pompano and saury must not be used. The homophony of "male thief and female prostitute" is not good.

After all, the sugar was not enough. There was no way. After the two bought the wine, they bought another six catties of sugar, six packs of dim sum, six packs of vermicelli, six bottles of wine, plus six fish and one slice of meat. It's all alive!

"Xiaoshu, how much money does your Dong brother give to your family as a gift?" Lu Xuguang asked while sitting in his shoulder.

"I don't know, today my Dong brother took my sister to Caibao Jinlou to buy a ring." Du Xiaoshu answered honestly, "Daguang brother, how much do other people give?"

Lu Xuguang smiled sharply, "Give, give the gift, ah...in the future it will be yours, there will be more than one thousand, there will be more than two thousand...you, how much do you want?"

But Du Xiaoshu immediately dismissed it, "I earn more than this in a month in the video room...well, I have to give me...6,000!"

...

Caibao Jinlou, a time-honored family in Qinwan, where most engaged couples choose jewelry.

Santana stopped slowly, and Du Xiaoju drove out of the car. She bit her lip shyly and looked at the sign of Jinlou.

Countless times in her dreams, she would have dreamed that Qin Dong drove her to the Golden Tower with her shoulders.

"Let's go, what do you think?" Qin Dong looked at Du Xiaoju with a happy face, and took her hand without shy.
