In 79, I graduated from secondary school and returned to the commune as a propaganda officer, and my father's wine created my marriage story in 1979, which was an era full of change and hope. I, a young student who had just graduated from a secondary school, returned to the commune I was familiar with with full of longing and a little apprehension. I was assigned as a publicity officer for the commune, a position that was both a new beginning and a challenge for me. Back home, nothing seems to have changed, but it seems to have changed a lot. Those familiar faces, those cordial greetings, all made me feel the warmth of home.
But at the same time, I also realized that I was about to face a completely new environment, a field that required me to use my knowledge and wisdom to explore. The days in the Commune were busy and fulfilling. I was responsible for compiling propaganda materials, organizing cultural activities, and trying to convey the party's policies and guidelines to every villager. I walked through the fields, talking to farmers, understanding their needs and ideas, and trying to make the propaganda work more relevant and deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of the people. However, just as I was fully engaged in my work, something unexpected happened.
It was a sunny weekend, and my father invited some old friends to the house. They sat around the courtyard, drinking wine and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. I, on the other hand, helped prepare the meal, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two. Just then, an old friend of my father's suddenly mentioned my marriage. He said: "Lao Liu, your kid is also a cadre of the commune now, shouldn't you find him a daughter-in-law?" When my father heard this, he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I'm not worried."
Then he turned to me and said, "Son, look, these uncles and uncles have grown up watching you, and they are all very concerned about your marriage." Do you have any ideas? I was stunned, I didn't expect this topic to pop up so suddenly. I smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." When my father saw this, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, we'll help you settle it today." As he spoke, he raised his glass and motioned to the friends present, saying, "Come, let's make a toast to my boy's marriage today!" "In this way, in a meal of my father's wine, my family affairs were decided.
The uncle introduced me to a girl, who said that she was a relative of their family, who was beautiful and had a good personality. After listening to it, although I was a little surprised, I did not refuse. After all, in those days, the major affairs of marriage were handled by parents and elders. In the days that followed, I started to get in touch with that girl. We chatted, went shopping, watched movies, and gradually, I discovered that we had a lot of topics and interests in common.
I was deeply attracted by her kindness, intelligence, and independence. I also started to slowly develop feelings for her. A few months later, we had a simple wedding. Although there is no luxurious wedding car or extravagant wedding banquet, our hearts are full of happiness and satisfaction. Because we know that the most important thing is that we love each other, cherish each other, and support each other.
Looking back now, that experience feels like it was yesterday. I am very emotional and very lucky. Because of my father's drink, I met the partner who I spent my life with. We have experienced the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of life together, and have also witnessed the development and changes of our hometown together. And all of this originated from that seemingly ordinary but coincidental day.
