Chapter 299 Wedding Banquet

1.

October 19th is the day of the wedding banquet with Xu Dan in spring.

Early in the morning, Wu Xiao took two young teachers to follow the spring to the "Happy Restaurant" of Sister Xu Dan's house, helping to paste the word "happiness", placing tobacco, wine, sugar tea, melon seeds, peanuts and other items, and preparing firecrackers, ceremonial flowers before the start of the wedding banquet, and the candy distributed to the guests after the wedding banquet. Xu Dan and her two sisters and brother-in-law are all helping the chef in the back kitchen.

After a few turns around the store in the spring, there was no place to get started, so I had to sit on the sofa in the hall and think about the situation of today's banquet in my heart.

According to the spring plan, the banquet for today's wedding banquet was divided into two groups, one at noon and one at night. At noon, four tables were arranged in the spring, and the initial plan was one table for high school classmates, one table for college classmates, and one table for some friends in society. The remaining table was given to Xu Dan and asked her to entertain her junior high school female classmates and a few business friends. In the evening, seven tables were arranged in the spring, mainly colleagues from Hushan Middle School, leaders of the Education Committee Office, and teachers from elementary schools in several school districts who were familiar with Spring.

As a high school classmate, he handed over the task of issuing a notice to Sun Li in the spring, and asked him to notify a few people with good relationships. For college classmates, Liu Xiangyang was asked to issue notices one by one in the spring, even if they all arrived, there were only nine people together with Liu Xiangyang and Sun Li, and there was just a table in the spring. Those few friends in the society, in the spring, asked Liu San to issue a notice, come if they can, and don't come to pull it down.

Less than ten o'clock, Sun Li and Liu Xiangyang rushed to the hotel by car, and Liu Xiangyang also brought his wife Song Xinyi, saying that Song Xinyi had experience in wedding banquets and could help Xu Dan with his work.

Just after ten o'clock, the guests who received the invitation to the wedding banquet came one after another, those who were close to the road rode motorcycles and bicycles, those who were far away were all by bus, and two high school classmates with deep pockets rented cars.

Spring and Xu Dan stood at the door of the hotel with a smile on their faces, greeting every guest who arrived, and accepting blessings and red envelopes from guests. Wu Xiao and others were busy acting as guides, arranging guests to the corresponding private rooms according to the instructions of spring. Sun Li is in charge of the table of high school classmates, and Liu Xiangyang is in charge of the table of college classmates. Liu San is in charge of those friends in society in the spring, and Xu Dan's table is in charge of herself. For a time, the hotel was noisy, bustling, and overcrowded.

Just after half past ten, more than a dozen spring students suddenly poured in the hotel, some of whom had graduated from junior high school and went to school in the county or other places, and some who were still studying in Hushan Middle School. As soon as the students entered the door, they hugged the spring and yelled, complaining that the spring marriage was not notified to them. There was no way, in the spring, I had to ask Xu Dan's eldest sister to temporarily add a table, and these dozen students crowded into a private room, shouting excitedly, and shouting "Master" to Xu Dan one by one, making Xu Dan blush.

At eleven o'clock, there were a few uninvited guests in the hotel, led by Xiangxing's father, all of whom were parents of students who had graduated from the spring art tutoring class. Spring had to apologize with a blushing face with some embarrassment, and then asked Xu Dan's eldest sister Xu Lie to arrange a table. Xu Lie complained that Spring did not make overall arrangements for the people attending the wedding banquet, and said that if there were any more people, he would only be able to stand in the hall and eat, and Spring could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

At 11:18, Wu Xiao led several young people to light fireworks and firecrackers at the entrance of the hotel. Amid the deafening sound of salutes and firecrackers, the wedding banquet of Spring and Xu Dan officially began.

According to tradition, half an hour after the wedding banquet begins, Spring and Xu Dan will toast from table to table. However, because there are too many guests today, and all the students who come are classmates and friends who have passed away, I must accompany these people to get drunk in the spring. Therefore, the spring did not dare to wait for half an hour to toast, and the wedding banquet began to toast from the table of the parents of the students headed by Xiangxing's father, and everyone toasted a glass, said two words of thanks, and listened to the heartfelt blessings of the guests.

After saluting the table of the students' parents, Spring and Xu Dan came to Liu Sanyi's table, this table is full of some people in the society, talking and drinking without scruples, Xu Dan blushed and pulled Spring to toast one by one, and escaped from the door in a burst of laughter and jokes.

At the students' table, Chun and Xu Dan only toasted a glass of wine in the past, thanked the students for coming, and gave them a death order, each person only had two bottles of beer, not much to drink, and the food was enough. Although the students felt aggrieved in their hearts, they could only carry it out.

Spring put the final goal on those high school and college classmates, and Spring also knew in his heart that on today's big day, these classmates would never let go of themselves easily.

The fact is also as expected in the spring, under the leadership of Sun Li and Liu Xiangyang, these classmates tried every possible way to change their tricks, and unscrupulously forced Spring and Xu Dan to drink, Xu Dan drank drinks at other wine tables, but in front of these spring classmates, he still reluctantly changed to beer, but Xu Dan was really overwhelmed by alcohol, and his face was red like Guan Gong after only drinking three glasses of beer, and he shouted dizziness in his mouth, Sun Li and others had to let go of Xu Dan and aim their firepower at Spring. In desperation, Spring had to adopt the method of "playing in circles" to fight with these classmates. "Circle" is to make a village in the spring, and have a drink with everyone at the wine table, even so, the spring is three times in a row, and these classmates can be regarded as letting him go. Rao is spring toast with one or two small cups, so that after counting seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, you have to drink seven or eight catties of beer. Drinking beer is not spring's strong point, and my mind is still very clear, but my stomach is uncomfortable, so I have to keep running to the toilet.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were guests who were full of food and drink left the table, first the table of Xu Dan's female classmate, then the table of the students' parents, and then the table of Liu San's students. When these guests left, Spring and Xu Dan had to thank each other at the door of the hotel, and Wu Xiao and Song Xinyi helped distribute the candy.

The last to end the banquet were the spring classmates, who came out of the private room, but the gang did not want to leave, and continued to mess around around the karaoke machine in the hall singing, dancing, drinking beer.

In the lobby of Sister Xu Dan's hotel, there is a set of karaoke machines connected by video recorders and televisions, plus two speakers and microphones, which is the most popular and advanced audio-visual singing entertainment system in the streets and alleys in the 90s. These dozen or so people sang and danced in the hotel hall, talking nonsense, making a mess in the hotel hall, and Xu Dan's eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law looked at the face of spring and indulged them very tolerantly.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that there was only the last bus back to the county seat left in Hushan Town, and Sun Li, Liu Xiangyang and others helped each other to get on the bus and reluctantly bid farewell to spring.

Sending off the last group of guests, Spring rested for a while on the couch in the hall.

Just after six o'clock, the teachers of Hushan Middle School rushed over one after another to attend the meeting, and Chun and Xu Dan had to cheer up again, continue to stand at the door of the hotel with a smile to welcome guests, and accept the blessings and red envelopes of colleagues.

At half past six o'clock in the evening, the wedding banquet began, and the seven tables originally scheduled for spring were full, and the extra guests had to spread two beds in the hotel hall as a dining table and put wine and food on the table. The extra guests are mainly teachers who are good friends with the spring in the elementary schools in the school district, and there are also a few people who have a good relationship with the spring, but in any case, they are all guests, and the spring is moved in addition to gratitude.

At the wedding banquet in the evening, the spring did not come up with the desperate Saburo drinking style at noon, but with Xu Dan, each table toasted a glass of wine, anyway, they are colleagues who meet and know each other every day, and the rest of the time will be tossed with them, and spring can take this opportunity to rest.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the last few colleagues left the hotel in a mouth full of nonsense and stumbling.

After the wedding banquet, Xu Dan wanted to stay in the store to help Xu Lie and others clean up the mess, and in the spring he put the red envelopes he received in his pocket, and returned to school accompanied by Wu Xiao.

Sending the spring back to the dormitory, Wu Xiao couldn't wait to go to the female faculty dormitory to find Wang Li to get tired of.

Spring lay in bed and smoked a cigarette, and then began to count and register red envelopes. When counting the red envelopes, Spring found the red envelopes entrusted by Liu Qing and Sun Xiaofei, both of which were sixty yuan of happy money, and the same were a few faint blessings. Spring rubbed the red envelopes of Liu Qing and Sun Xiaofei in his hand, and unconsciously, tears blurred his eyes.
