52. Seating
In the countryside, you wake up early in the morning, especially when there is something to do. As soon as the morning dawned, there was movement in the east courtyard, and at five or six o'clock it was already full of people, and before seven o'clock, a loudspeaker sounded, which was still the kind that the whole village could hear.
"Still not letting people sleep?"
Tan Xiao covered her ears to no avail, and roared out the window, but only Ye Shu heard her voice.
Ye Shu rubbed his eyes and looked at Tan Xiao who was wearing a cloak, "That's it for happy events in the countryside, today's bride's family 'celebrates' the madman and his family has to prepare things, you clean up, let's eat casually in the morning, go over and see if you need to help or something, and go to his house for dinner at noon." ”
"Didn't you say he got married on the fifteenth? It's only the fourteenth today. "Eat or not, Tan Xiao is not interested, disturbing her dream is the most annoying, last night she slept very soundly, she didn't have a dream, especially this kang, I felt very awkward when I first slept, I slept all night and found that it was very comfortable, and I felt that my muscles and bones were relaxed a lot.
"The man's marriage will be done for at least two days, the madman's house will be held for three days, on the first day of yesterday, please invite some people close to you, invite everyone today, it is a big banquet, tomorrow is the day, and the woman's 'housekeeper' will clean up, let's clean up in a while, you ate someone else's meal yesterday, don't let people send it over today......" Ye Shu said while folding the quilt. And although Tan Xiao was reluctant, she could only crawl out of the bed, she had already felt the enthusiasm of the neighbors, if she didn't go, she would definitely send food over, she was not so thick-skinned.
It was already more than eight o'clock after the two of them finished grooming, and when they arrived in the east courtyard, the masters in the greenhouse were already busy, cutting vegetables, side dishes, all performing their duties, and they didn't need the owner to help, they were all professional in doing this, and the shed, tables, chairs, and chopsticks were all theirs.
There are already a lot of people sitting in the shed sipping melon seeds and drinking drinks chatting, and now they are "hanging hoes", there is no work in the field, and where there is excitement, they all go early, and they are waiting for the noon banquet. There are also many children, running back and forth in and out of the courtyard, for them, the seat is a part, mainly lively.
Ye Shu didn't stay in the shed, and took Tan Xiao directly into the house. There are also a lot of people in the house, all of them are relatives of the Ding family, some came two days ago, some just arrived in the morning, and people came in one after another, and someone specially greeted them. Ye Shu belongs to the kind of person who doesn't need to be greeted, he says hello when he sees an acquaintance, and then squeezes into the West House with Tan Xiao, and he sees Ding Feng and them in this room outside the window.
"Smile and smile, go to the kang. Mother Ding greeted Tan Xiao warmly when she saw her, as for Ye Shu, it was the same as not looking at it, and there was no need to be polite to him.
There are also a lot of people in Westinghouse, all of whom are busy with their own affairs, such as blowing balloons, pasting happy characters, and hanging latte art. Ding Feng was dressed brightly, his leather shoes were shiny, and he was being directed by a few people on the ground, and Tan Xiao and Ding Mu stood at the door politely.
Ding Feng saw Ye Shu and called Ye Shu aside, "Hey, Ye'er, I was planning to ask you for a favor." ”
"If you have something, just say it, what is not busy with help. Ye Shu didn't know what he was going to do mysteriously, but it was estimated that it was not good.
Ding Feng smirked twice, glanced sideways at Tan Xiao, who was looking at this side, and said to Ye Shu: "Your girlfriend's car is good, can you talk to her, borrow it tomorrow, how about being a car for me, buddy, I will also show my face at my daughter-in-law's house." ”
When Ye Shu heard this, he gave Ding Feng a kick, "I thought it was a big deal, you just told her generously." ”
Ding Feng shook his head and explained: "No, when the time comes, the decal or something, how much will it affect the car paint...... If people don't want to, then how embarrassed I am. ”
"What impact can you have with some flowers, isn't it just the use of the car when you buy it? It was not Ye Shu who answered, but Tan Xiao, who had very sharp ears, and walked up to the two of them as she spoke.
"But ......" Ding Feng was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the car was worth a lot of money.
"Nothing. Ye Shu stuffed the car key into Dingfeng's hand, and since yesterday, the car key has been on him, "I don't care how you stick it, you can watch it yourself." Ye Shu directly helped Tan Xiao to make the decision, he knew that Tan Xiao didn't care too much about this car, she drove the car here, but she didn't want to cheap some people.
Ding Feng took the key and looked at Tan Xiao, Tan Xiao just smiled slightly, did not speak, and he was not embarrassed to say too many words of thanks, it was not good to be too polite.
Ready, Ding Feng followed his uncle and uncle to the woman's house, Ye Shu and Tan Xiao saw that there was nothing to do and went back, and they didn't come to the east courtyard to eat until almost eleven o'clock, and the big banquet didn't start until noon.
At noon, as soon as he entered the gate of the east courtyard, Ye Shu was dumbfounded, the shed was full of people, and there were seven or eight tables crowded in the small courtyard, and then looked at the house, except for the West House, the places where the tables could be put were put on the tables, and there were more than ten people sitting at each table, and there were more than ten children at one table.
When someone saw Ye Shu bringing his friends over, he beckoned them to come over and squeeze them, but Ye Shu refused, Tan Xiao wanted to go back when she saw a lot of people, and she was still a little taboo when she ate with strangers.
"Why are there so many people?"
It was not only Ye Shu and Tan Xiao who had no place to sit, but also a few others who helped Ding Feng run before and after, and they were just as dumbfounded when they looked at the bustling people. Tan Xiao also knew these people, and these were the ones who served her food last night.
"We can only sit for two leisurely, our lives are miserable!" someone said deliberately in a fuss.
At this time, Ding's mother, who greeted the guests, saw the people standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly walked over, "What's the matter?"
Ye Shu and Ding Feng's hair was the most broken, and the fifth child sighed, "Auntie, we want to sit down, but there is no place." ”
Ding's mother pretended to be angry and said, "Look at what you kid said." Looking inside and outside the house, it was indeed full, and when the new Westinghouse was cleaned up, there was no one, so he said, "Find a table and put it in the Westinghouse." ”
"It's a new house. ”
After the new house is cleaned up, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter.
"What's the matter? You and Xiaofeng are buddies, what's the difference between me and my own children, and I have to press the kang at night. Ding Mu took Tan Xiao's hand and walked in front, turned back to Lao Wu and said, "Go find a table, if you don't have a table, go back and move your table." ”
"Alas!" the fifth man stuck out his tongue and trotted to find the table.
The new house is much cleaner than in the morning, and after entering the house, Tan Xiao also knows why he doesn't let outsiders into the house, because everything is in place, and the house is very festive, if something is accidentally touched, it will be bad.
Although Tan Xiao is a guest, he is the object of Ye Shu in the eyes of those people, and he is not an outsider, and he is not polite when he speaks, let alone concealed.
The table was set up, and the table was soon opened, and Ye Shu only had a total of five people at this table, which was very spacious. There are few people, but there are a lot of dishes, eight cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, and the plates on the table can be stacked. There must be wine at the table, and there is no banquet without wine, Lao Wu directly brought in a case of beer, not from the beer pile outside, but he specially hid it in the freezer in the morning for this meal, and as soon as he brought it in, there were dewdrops on the bottle.
"What does Sister Tan drink? There are drinks, do you drink cold or not?" Don't look at the old five's broken mouth, but his mouth is also sweet, when they meet, they call Tan Xiao sister, and it doesn't matter whether Tan Xiaotong agrees or not, unlike those two, they are embarrassed to even speak.
Tan Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Don't bother, I'll just drink beer." ”
Hearing that Tan Xiao was going to drink, the fifth child was happy, "Sister Tan is really temperamental, that's right, no outsiders, don't be embarrassed, unlike the fat man, she has eaten together a few times, and she is still ashamed, I guess I haven't eaten enough." ”
"Shut up. The fat man sitting next to him kicked Lao Wu.
"I said something wrong?" Lao Wu also kicked back and asked Tan Xiao again, "Sister Tan, what do you do?"
"I'm a police officer. ”
"Police. ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, looked up at each other, and finally looked at Ye Shu. They all knew that Ye Shu didn't have a good impression of the police, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts, "Doesn't he hate the police?
Ye Shu saw the doubts in the hearts of the three people, grabbed a handful of peanuts and hit them in the faces, and scolded with a smile: "What do you think I do? Tan Xiao is a policeman or a criminal policeman, you can't find her to help." ”
The fifth child took a look, "I just want to see how you have such virtue, how did you make Sister Tan fall in love with it, and a blind flower was inserted in it." ”
"Fuck off. Tan Xiao didn't refute, he didn't even raise his head, and Ye Shu didn't explain much, the more this question was clarified, the more unclear it became. The three of them were happy and moved their chopsticks.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Feng came back with a smile on his face, and the wine table that was just about to end was about to add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the banquet. As a result, he was stopped by Ye Shu, and the performance he invited to Ding Feng arrived, and he just received a call, the car had already entered the village, and he wanted to go out to pick it up. The custom on their side, as long as they are not married, they do not follow the money of other people's weddings, such as the fat man, the fifth child, and the pillar, but the parents are there, and they follow it in the name of their parents. But Ye Shu is different, he is alone in his family, and no one says anything if he doesn't follow the courtesy, but he can't get over it in his heart, after all, Ding Feng and they have been friends since childhood, so they put on such a performance.
Seeing a car parked at the door and unloading things, Ding Feng's parents came out, and learned that Ye Shu specially spent money for Ding Feng's wedding, and the old couple complained that Ye Shu spent money indiscriminately. But the money has been spent, the people have come, and there is no way to retreat, so the old couple can only command everyone to set up a platform on the side of the road, and then connect the lights and electricity, and install the stereo.
Before the sun set, the performance began on the stage, which was both a song and a opera, but there was no money spent by Ye Shu, which attracted many villagers to come and watch the play. This kind of grassroots stage is used to help the fun, five or six people hold up a stage, the stage is busy enough, and the people in the audience are very happy to watch. Tan Xiao looked at it for a while, except for feeling noisy, there was nothing to see, so he went back to Ye Shu's house, because Ye Shu said that he would get up earlier tomorrow and go to bed early today.
Ye Shu didn't come back until more than eleven o'clock in the new house, he didn't press Ding Feng's bed with those people, because his parents died early, and now he is dying, he didn't want to bring any bad luck to Ding Feng, so he came back on the grounds that he was afraid that Tan Xiao would not be able to sleep without him.
Ye Shu didn't lie to Tan Xiao, Ye Shu got up just after four o'clock the next day, and after going to the East Courtyard to help run before and after, Tan Xiao was embarrassed not to go. At five o'clock, the convoy of the marrying relatives set off, Ding Feng himself drove Tan Xiao's car and walked in the front, and deliberately opened the roof, his eyebrows were dancing, very fresh clothes and angry horses, followed by more than ten cars.
