The fourth day of the first lunar month in 1973 was the day when Weijuan and I got married. Although our family was average, the wedding was still very lively with the help of relatives and friends. My parents came out to help buy bedding and cabinets. My brother and sister-in-law bought clothes and materials for them. My comrades-in-arms’ father helped to build the floor table, chairs and a small bowl rack. Because Weijuan's family knows my family's background and does not want to increase my financial burden due to marriage, I don't want any bride gifts when I get married, so I feel very sorry for this.
Before marriage, Weijuan and I also told me that my father was an old soldier and had participated in major battles in the Liberation War. Now he is in poor health and has been hospitalized for a long time. The following six younger brothers and sisters need to be raised. My mother has no job. My brother used to pay 20 yuan a month for the family and give 15 yuan after having a child. I also want to learn from my elder brother, and give 15 yuan a month for the family and 39 yuan a month for the family and 10 yuan a month for the family and 10 yuan a month for the family until there is no need to raise it. After listening to my words, Weijuan said, "It is natural for me to support my parents and raise my younger brothers and sisters. After I go to work, I will give my mother money to help support the family every month. I will listen to you in our family affairs." I was very moved by hearing Weijuan say this. This understanding is so precious. I also made up my mind to "let Weijuan live a happy life."
On the day of the wedding, my comrades rode my bicycle to accompany me to pick me up. The bride also sat in the "second-class seat" and was very lively. The family of my mother was led by the third brother Feng Ming. Feng Ru, Fengxian, aunt Liu Zhaoyi and second aunt Liu Zhaoyuan attended the wedding with their relatives. They were all happy to see that the eldest sister was taken to the house by her in-laws like stars.
The wedding ceremony was held outside my yard. A table was placed on the red carpet, with a few plates of melon seeds and candy, and a few boxes of large front door cigarettes. Relatives, comrades in the army, comrades in the militia company of the Changxing Brigade, classmates from collective households, comrades in the social education team, comrades in the factory, classmates, and neighbors in the young are all here.
The new house is on the north side of my house. There is a small kang two meters square in the house. There is a pair of kang cabinets. The floor table is supported by the wall. The table is placed with cigarettes, candy and melon seeds. A bowl rack cabinet is next to the stove in the corridor. The new house has red double-happy words and festive new wedding couplets are pasted on both sides of the door. Because the room is not big, the guests have filled the inside and outside the house, and the atmosphere is very lively.
At 10:18 am, the host announced that the wedding ceremony had officially begun. The host, witness, and guest representatives all spoke, talked about free love, and finally bite the apple to reach the climax of the ceremony. Because the conditions were limited, the family did not arrange a banquet, so the guests would congratulate him and look at the new house. The bride would light a cigarette and pick a piece of candy. Weijuan dressed dignified that day and treated her relatives and friends with kindness, and the guests praised her. My partner Cheng Xiang, his comrades and friends are going back, and I said apologetically, "Thank you, sorry." Cheng Xiang comforted me for everyone and said, "Life will be fine. You have always been an optimistic person. See you next day." Friends, comrades and comrades from all walks of life understand my situation and want to leave some space for my family, so they left one after another.
