Chapter 202

Generally, there are only dumplings for breakfast on the day of marriage, but taking into account the tastes of other people, Chen's father mixed a few cold dishes, and it must be too late to stir-fry, because dumplings have to be cooked a lot, and it is an old custom for guests who come in the morning to enter the door with a bowl of dumplings.

A courtyard was specially vacated in the farmhouse to entertain guests, Chen Anxiu's third uncle's family lived close to the first to come, less than nine o'clock, two aunts also came, the second uncle Lin Changshun took Lin Haicheng and his wife, Lin Haishuang and two aunts arrived at a little more than nine o'clock. Because the date of going to sea cannot be changed, Lin Changhe has already boarded the ship, but he has asked people to send a lot of good seafood over, and Lin Haibo, who is far away in Ningbo, can't come back because of something, so he asked his family to bring gift money.

Today, the restaurant is closed for a day, and everyone else is on vacation, but Liu Bo and Zhang Yan, the two chefs and Sun Xiao, have stayed behind to help the third grandfather, and all kinds of raw materials are prepared in advance, which will be taken out of the refrigerator, just waiting for lunch to be prepared later.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Chen Tianlan also ran back from school, she has been in military training recently, and people are like black charcoal on the ground, when she saw Chen Anxiu, she hugged and asked, "Second brother, where is the candy?" In order to be able to take time off to order candy, I pretended to be dizzy yesterday, and today I went to grind the counselor. ”

Chen Tianqing heard the voice and came out of the back room, took Chen Tianlan's hand and said, "I said why did I come so late, I didn't have to eat the dumplings, I didn't ask for leave, the third aunt and aunt are all in this house, and there is a lot of sugar in it." ”

"Second brother's candy, I have to eat a few more pieces." Chen Tianlan walked in while laughing, and when she went in, she found that in addition to a few of her own relatives she knew, there were also a few well-dressed women she didn't know.

Mother Chen sat at the outermost part of the crowd, got up and grabbed a handful of candy for her to put in her pocket, "Just now with your Sanniang, they are still talking about why you haven't come yet, is it good to take a car on the road?" If you're not in a hurry at school, stay on the mountain at night, squeeze with your second sister, and let your third brother send you back to school tomorrow. ”

Chen Tianlan smiled mischievously and said, "Erniang, I thought about not leaving when I came, I haven't seen my second sister for a long time, and I have a lot to say." ”

"You kid." Chen's mother introduced her and the others to her.

Chen Tianlan saw that there were so many people today, and his babbling temperament was also a lot more restrained, and after greeting the others, he and Chen Tianqing sat quietly in the corner of the sofa and talked.

So far, Chen Anxiu's uncle, Chen Tianming's family, has not come.

Chen's mother looked at the time again and said to Ji Fangping's wife Li Wenxin, who was sitting next to him, "You guys sit, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." ”

Zhang Wenxin and Chen's mother are about the same age, although their personal experiences are different, but people who have come out of an era can always find some common language when they sit together, the Zhang family is not as prominent as the Zhang family, so compared to Zhang Qingci's natural nobility and elegance, Zhang Wenxin is also more simple, at this time she took the initiative to say, "Is there anything else you haven't done?" I'll go with you and have a look, maybe I can help. ”

Chen's mother held her hand and said, "No, no, all the things, the child's third grandfather is ready, I'll just go over and take a look." ”

Zhang Wenxin heard that this was the case.

In fact, Chen's mother didn't specifically want to go to the kitchen, there was a third grandfather in the kitchen to watch, just like her own family, she didn't have anything to worry about, she was going out to see if Chen Jianming's family was coming, she didn't see anyone when she walked to the small restaurant, and she didn't see anyone in the building materials store.

There will be no one in the small supermarket, Lin Shufang sat behind the counter and ate melon seeds, and when he saw Chen's mother coming over again, he got up and looked out, and said to Lin Meizi, who was sorting out the labels of the goods, "What is going on at Chen Jianping's house today, early in the morning, I saw An Xiu, his two aunts and second uncle, they are all here, and Lin Ying is also here back and forth, as if he is waiting for someone." ”

Lin Meizi and the others were transferred to the class and released eleven in advance, and as soon as they returned to the mountain this morning, they didn't know what the situation was, "Is there something wrong with An Xiu's family?" ”

Lin Shufang swallowed melon seeds and said, "What can happen?" Yesterday afternoon, when I went to the supermarket to buy groceries, I also saw their family, there were several cars parked in front of their building materials store, and the car did not look very good, but the few people who came down were really decent, and the identity was quite unusual. ”

Lin Meizi finished applying the new label, and came to the counter to get it, and when she saw her aunt's mysterious appearance, she asked with a smile, "Auntie, you can see that it is not ordinary, then it is really unusual." ”

Lin Shufang looked around again, to make sure that there was no one, then pulled Lin Meizi into the counter and said, "This is not ordinary, but I don't see it, the people in the car just entered the building materials store, and Liu Fang next door to the building materials store came out with a basin, and he didn't know what the road was loaded with, and it was covered with a lid, and he recklessly wanted to go to the building materials store, but before he got close, he was stopped by two people." You said that those people came out with bodyguards, can they be ordinary people? ”

Lin Meizi frowned when she heard this, if she said this, the identity of these people was really doubtful.

Lin Shufang swept the melon seed skin on his pants and said, "Now you also know that Lu Dao is not ordinary, this Chen family doesn't know where to recruit such a group of people on Lu Dao, it is not easy to provoke at first glance, you and Jiang Xuan are right to stay away from that Chen Anxiu." Your mother-in-law didn't say anything, is your father-in-law inseparable from Chen Anxiu? That kind of person is really harmful, and he finds a man by himself to make his family unable to raise his head, and he also harms others. ”

Lin Meizi interrupted her and said, "Auntie, don't talk about it, who is An Xiu, did you just know each other?" Besides, they all live in the same town, do you really plan to talk to your aunt for the rest of your life? ”

Lin Shufang muttered in a low voice, "Everyone said that, and I didn't say it alone." Under the disapproving gaze of her niece, she compromised and said, "Yes, yes, I know that he is not that kind of person, but with the attitude towards me, I still have to help him reason?" Besides, it's also a fact that he found a man, and I didn't make it up, you don't know how ugly it was for me to say I in front of so many people at that time. ”

"To put it bluntly, you still hold a grudge against your aunt?"

"I don't want to hate her, but she hates me, she has such a bad temper when she was a child, I just said a few words at the time, who knows which mouth has the longest mouth and passed to her ears."

"When the incident first came out, Anxiu's family was not doing well, and the people in the town avoided them like an infectious disease."

Lin Shufang argued forcibly, "Isn't it better now?" After saying that, the melon seeds stopped eating, and silently grabbed the label on the counter and pasted it by himself.

There was only a little left, Lin Meizi didn't go to help, took off her apron and said, "Auntie, then I'll change my clothes, go out to buy some food first, and come back to make lunch later." ”

"Go ahead." Lin Shufang replied on the shelf.

Lin Meizi walked into the courtyard inside, Jiang Xuan took Wen Yin and Wen Feng to play with water guns in the courtyard, and when she saw her enter the house to change clothes, she also followed in.

"Why aren't you outside watching the kids?"

"The two of them are playing, and I just have something to tell you."

"Now? What's so urgent? ”

Jiang Xuan was silent for a while and said, "An Xiu called me two days ago, I was on a mission outside, so I didn't answer, and he didn't call later, but An Xiu should have something to call him, you have to meet him in the town, help me ask." ”

Lin Meizi changed into her coat, took the wallet on the table and said, "Okay, when I meet him, I will ask, you take good care of the children at home, don't let them run around, I'll buy vegetables and come back." ”

Jiang Xuan nodded, looking relieved.

After Lin Meizi went out, the smile on his face that had been maintained collapsed, Jiang Xuan's proud temperament, he used to be friends with An Xiu, so naturally it was easy to say anything, but now in this relationship, he can't let go of his figure to take the initiative to contact An Xiu. He will always need someone to step him down. However, it is a fact that Jiang Xuan has also grown up in the past two years, and she was once very afraid that if she lost her father's protection, he would collapse and be depressed from then on. The fact is that there was decadence, first Jiang Yao's matter, and then someone took the opportunity to report her father, when her father was isolated and reviewed, Jiang Xuan was suspended, she was also called by the leader to talk, the job prospects are worrying, and her mother and Jiang Yao only know how to cry, and the family is really in chaos.

When the family was rich, people came and went, and it was difficult to refuse, once defeated, no one paid attention to the door of the house, and in those dark days, she survived, and Jiang Xuan also survived. Later, I don't know who secretly helped, she and Jiang Xuan were both picked out, and their jobs were saved, and my father did so many years in the position of director of the public security bureau, and it was not in vain, and he was able to save his life in the end.

But Jiang Xuan's proud temperament was cultivated in a superior family background since childhood, and it was difficult to change it overnight, so he could only come step by step.

Lin Meizi met Chen's mother on the road, who hadn't gone back yet, so she stepped forward to say hello, "Auntie." ”

Mother Chen hid the anxiety on her face, turned her head to see that it was her, and said with a smile, "It's Meizi, you've been back for eleven?" ”

"Yes, I just came back in the morning, and I was going to buy some food, is my aunt waiting for someone? I just passed by the building materials store and looked at it, but it didn't open. ”

Chen Anxiu got married today, and Chen's mother didn't want more people to know about it, she used to like and feel sorry for this girl, but now the relationship is different, "There are guests at home, and the building materials store is not open if it can't be taken care of." ”

Lin Meizi knew that if she was a guest at home, it would be impossible for the store to not even open, even if their family was busy, and Xiao Qiao, but people didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force it.

Chen's mother looked at the time and felt that Chen Jianming's family was not seeing anyone at this time, Bacheng was not coming, and she didn't plan to wait any longer, so she went back with a polite word to Lin Meizi.

*

At this time, at Chen Jianming's house in the city, Chen Jianming was already dressed neatly, sat on the sofa and said to the house a little impatiently, "I said that you two are okay, it's past eleven o'clock, do you still want to go." ”

Li Wencai was chasing his grandson Ruizhe to eat with a bowl in the house, one ancestor at a time, one treasure at a time, and his voice was extremely pampered, but as soon as he heard Chen Jianming's words, he became angry, "What are you urging?" What's wrong with just not going? I've never heard of a wedding for two men at this age, isn't it a joke that this is going to be rumored? The second child and Lin Ying don't know what Lu Dao thinks, is it not sad that they don't earn a gift money from others? ”

"When Tianli and Tianqi get married, the second family will take a penny less."

"His family is not less, but isn't there still rain and sunny weather under An Xiu? If they get married seriously in the future, can I, the eldest mother, not give money? But what is going on with Anxiu, it's not clear, anyway, I just don't want to go, I can't afford to lose this person. ”

Chen Jianming took off his coat and threw it on the sofa and said, "That's okay, our family won't go, don't go to the mountains in the future, and don't go to the door of the second family's house when you go back, only when we cut off the relatives of the second family." ”

"When did I say I would cut ties with his family? Didn't you just say that An Xiu didn't want to go to this unclear wedding? "Fighting, making trouble, and getting stiff with your own brothers, isn't that a joke?

"If you don't go this time, can the temper of the second daughter-in-law tolerate you? I think that in the future, Tianyu and Tianqing will get married, and you will go with the money, and the second daughter-in-law will not let you in the door. ”

Li Wencai thought about Lin Ying's temper, she was able to do this, but she was still unconvinced and said, "Is this Anxiu the seed of your old Chen family or two words, where is Lin Ying's turn to lose his temper." ”

"Is he, the second family hasn't asked you to raise him, how can he say that he has been called a lady for more than 20 years. If you don't go, we won't go. He was about to go to the study after he finished speaking, he has recently been very keen on Chinese painting and joined the city's old cadres calligraphy and painting association.

Li Wencai saw that his attitude was hard, and he softened, "I'm just saying, who said that I really won't go, I'll go to the house to get the money, how much is your monthly salary, and most of the money will be out of this gift money, and there are several more behind it, it's really terrible." ”

"You'd better hurry up, ink again, and go over for dinner."

"Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, you are his uncle, our father is not here, you are the elder of the family, if you don't go, they really can't have a banquet?"

Their family finally cleaned up, and was about to go out, when they met Liu Xue coming back from outside with a big bag on her back, and when she saw their situation, she asked, "Mom and Dad, won't you also go to the second uncle's house?" ”

Li Wencai replied, "Yes, take Ruizhe to the banquet." Are you going or not? ”

"Mom, I thought you weren't going, such a ridiculous thing, I don't know what the second uncle and aunt of Lu Dao think. I don't plan to go, so I might as well go out and find two customers when I have this time. ”

Although Li Wencai had just yelled at home, he didn't agree with Liu Xue's attitude, "You and Tianqi have been separated now, if you don't plan to go around with your second uncle, don't go." We're too old to control you. ”

Liu Xuegang had a quarrel with Chen Tianqi at home, and originally wanted to come here to seek support, but when she heard her mother-in-law say the same, she was even more unhappy at the moment, and replied angrily, "If you don't go, you won't leave, a group of countrymen who don't have a level." ”

She said this sentence smoothly, and she didn't notice that her father-in-law was also included, Chen Jianming said unhappily, "Okay, Xiao Liu, don't go, watch Ruizhe at home." ”

Li Wencai also felt that his daughter-in-law was really inappropriate in speaking, and in terms of speaking and behaving, she really couldn't even compare to Zhao Xiaohan, especially since she made money as an agent, she didn't put the two elders in her eyes, in front of them, she pointed at Tianqi's nose and scolded if she wanted to, but she didn't regret taking medicine in this world, her son and Zhao Xiaohan had divorced, she followed Chen Jianming's meaning and handed over the grandson in her arms to Liu Xue, and the two old ones went by themselves.

Liu Xue didn't feel that she was at fault, she just felt that they were making a fuss, she carried her son back to the house, and called Chen Tianqi again, "I tell you Chen Tianqi, if you dare to go to Chen Anxiu today, we will divorce, I tell the truth...... Toot ......"

didn't wait for her to finish, Chen Tianqi hung up the phone directly, Liu Xue was so angry that she picked up her mobile phone and wanted to fall to the wall, but finally remembered in time that this was the apple she had just bought, so she put it down and hugged her son over and put it on her lap, "Ruizhe, don't be as conscienceless as your father when you grow up, didn't I do this for this family?" Is it easy for me to work hard to make money? One or two don't appreciate it. ”

Think about Chen Anxiu's so-called wedding, it's not good not to go, and it's money to go. The family is okay with the land, but it's just a countryman, it doesn't matter that there is no way, and some things can't help their family, and it's a waste to walk around so diligently. If you have that money, it's better to buy a better skirt for Tianlan, what kind of family are the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, the relationship is good, and the benefits in the future are indispensable to their family, why don't you go to school in the afternoon to see Tianlan, and buy her some snacks and nutritional products, they have been in military training recently, they must be very tired.

*

Chen's father, the old man of the Ji family and the men of the family were drinking tea and playing chess in another room, it seemed that it was twelve o'clock, and he had not seen the eldest brother's family, so he went to the inner room to call Chen's mother to the courtyard and said, "It's about to be time for the banquet, and the eldest brother hasn't come yet." ”

"I went out to pick it up twice and didn't come, so I guess I won't come."

"Why don't I call again?"

"What do you ask, people still think that you forced people to come, don't come and forget it, the dishes on the third uncle's side are coming out of the pot one after another, and you let a room of people watch and wait for him?"

"Also, if you don't come, don't come, you go and take out all the cigarettes and alcohol that Xiaozhang bought and put them on the table, and I'll go and tell everyone to wash your hands and prepare for the banquet."

"Okay." Chen's mother went back to the house and shouted that it was raining and sunny, and went to another house with her to bring out the wine and cigarettes.

Chai Qiuxia and Chen Jianhong, as half of the masters, also helped to carry the table, move the stool, and prepare to serve the food, today's sun is very good, and the yard is bright again, everyone decided to set up three tables in the courtyard, the second elder of the Ji family, the second elder of the Lin family, Chen's father and Chen's mother, Lin Changning, Lu Jiangyuan, Ji Fangping and Ji Fangnan, they sat at the first table, Chen Anxiu's second uncle and aunt and aunt and uncle They sat at the second table, and the third table was the rain and the sun and Ji Junheng and their juniors. They were all moved from a small tavern, and there were fifteen large round tables that could sit at them, and three tables were more than enough for these people.

At first, it was a few refreshing small cold dishes, and then all kinds of seafood and dishes took turns, and a sea cucumber cup per person was a must, and a large large yellow croaker with sauce was placed in the middle of each table.

It is said that the old man of the Lin family is the oldest here in terms of age and generation, and he is going to talk about it at the opening of the table, but he is afraid that he will not be able to speak well, so he refuses in advance, and he will be the old man of the Ji family in turn.

Ji Zhongjie has been in a high position for many years, but he did not boast of other habits from a military background, and concisely expressed the blessings and hopes of the elders for the newcomers, and finally said, "It is not easy for the two of them to come to this day, I propose that we come together to toast them." ”

Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian also sat at the first table, and when they heard the old man say this, they got up first, but when Zhang Shinian got up, his arm accidentally swept the wine in Chen Anxiu's cup, so that most of the wine that was not much spilled out, and the wine in Chen Anxiu's cup was only one bottom left.

After drinking this cup, Ji Zhongjie announced the opening of the banquet.

Chen Jianming came shortly after everyone opened the table, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that everyone had already eaten, and he was a little unhappy, but he didn't choose to attack on this occasion, but he could see a little dislike on his face.

Father Chen was very surprised to see it, "Big brother." Come and pull him to the first table to sit, there is still an empty seat on the table, Chai Qiuxia and the others came over and pulled Li Wencai to the second table to sit.

The position is naturally not the upper position that Chen Jianming imagined, but he thought that his younger brother would leave him the first table seat if he didn't come, and thought that he should also respect him, look at the dishes on the table, and then look at the wine, and feel a little relieved.

The home-cooked dishes, in addition to ensuring cleanliness, the amount of each plate is also full, and the craftsmanship of the third grandfather is excellent, so even if the Ji family has seen a big scene, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Everyone's stomach has something in the stomach to toast the newcomer, Chen Tianyu and Ji Junheng played the role of best men today, when Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian toasted, the two of them followed behind to pour wine, but Chen Tianyu's bottle of wine was full of boiled water, the two brothers sang together, with tacit understanding, Ji Junheng's side is different, he doesn't know whether Lu Dao is true or really unintentional, give Zhang Shinian's wine is not adulterated at all, and the cup almost overflows all over the ground. Zhang Shinian glanced at him lightly several times, and he always returned the innocent smile.

The first to salute the Lin family and the second elder of the Ji family, they are old, so they gestured slightly, and the third cup of salute Chen's father and Chen's mother.

Chen Anxiu just walked up to them and shouted, "Mom, Dad." ”

Chen's mother's tears were uncontrollable all of a sudden, and they came down in an uproar.

Father Chen hurriedly said, "Look at you, look at you, what are you crying on a good day." ”

Chen Anxiu also took out a tissue from the table and handed it over, Chen's mother also knew that she was not good-looking, but she couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she came out, she was as busy as a person who had nothing to do these days, preparing for the wedding, but she didn't feel good at all, when her son was not married, she was anxious, and finally waited until her son got married, and she felt like she was heartbroken.

Chen's father and Chen's mother are wearing clothes today are all set by Zhang Shinian and them, for today's wedding, Chen's mother also deliberately dyed her hair, this dress, people look a lot younger, but after all, they are also in their fifties, how can the wrinkles on the face not be covered, Chen Anxiu temporarily handed the wine glass in his hand to Zhang Shinian, put his arm around Chen's mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, I am your son, didn't I say that I have decided to rely on you and my father in my life, you just drove me away, and I won't leave?" Of course, if you get married, you won't leave, and it will sway in front of your eyes every day, until you are dizzy. ”

Lin Changning, who was sitting under Chen's mother, lowered his head slightly, his fingers holding chopsticks were trembling, he told himself that he couldn't be jealous, his sister and brother-in-law raised Zhuang Zhuang, and it was most normal for Zhuang Zhuang to honor them, but he couldn't control his jealousy, Zhuang Zhuang was his son, Zhuang Zhuang was his son. No, Lin Changning should be satisfied if he can recognize you, you should be satisfied, if my sister didn't want it back then, and she was raised in someone else's house, maybe she wouldn't even have the opportunity to recognize each other now, she should be satisfied.

"Changning ......" Lu Jiangyuan noticed his abnormality and called him in a low voice.

Lin Changning suddenly, put down his chopsticks, and put his hands on his knees.

Lu Jiangyuan held his hand under the table, obviously the sun was just right at this time, but Changning's hand was cold and cold.

Here, Chen's mother was already laughing at Chen Anxiu, and she slapped him on the shoulder and said, "People who are all married are not serious yet." In front of so many people, I am not afraid of being laughed at. After saying that, he helped him carefully straighten his collar and swept his shoulders.

Father Chen raised his glass and said, "Don't pay attention to your mother, crying and laughing, Xiaozhang, let's have a drink today." ”

Chen Anxiu smiled at Chen's father, Chen's father leaned closer and clinked glasses, and whispered in his ear, "I have long seen that you are drinking boiled water, do you think you can hide it from me?" I won't drink with you. ”

Chen's father and Zhang Shinian bumped again, drank dry, and the two of them tacitly lit up the bottom of the cup, Chen's father patted Zhang Shinian's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's still Xiaozhang to my liking, big brother has a good son." ”

Ji Zhongjie smiled when he heard this, "It's yours now." ”

"Yes, it's ours too, it's just that when we both have a son, it's a good thing, a good thing."

The following is Lin Changning and Lu Jiangyuan, Chen Jianming was also puzzled at this time, Lin Changning's brother-in-law was already a little unreasonable to sit at this table, why did the person next to Lin Changning who couldn't even name him sit at this table, and this position was not a relative of Zhang Shinian's side, but he was sure that it was not a relative of the Lin family and the Chen family, and there was no such person in his mind.

"Uncle." Chen Anxiu can only call Lin Changning his brother-in-law in front of others.

It was really proposed by himself, Zhuang Zhuang had called him like this many times in front of people before, but this time, he felt that he couldn't bear this title at all, he held a wine glass in his hand, his lips trembled and he didn't speak, he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't cry.

Maybe there was really some kind of induction between father and son, Chen Anxiu leaned over and shouted in a small voice in Lin Changning's ear, "Dad." ”

With that, except for the two of them, no one else even heard the title, the corners of Lin Changning's eyes moistened suddenly, he forced himself to calm down, raised his head and smiled at a pair of newcomers, "The road ahead depends on you supporting each other, you must know how to respect and love each other, I believe you will be very happy." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhang Shinian also shouted uncle, this was the first time he changed his name for Lin Changning.

Lin Changning also dried up.

"Uncle Lu?" Chen Anxiu came to Lu Jiangyuan.

Lu Jiangyuan calmly accepted this title, "An Xiu, happy newlywed." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Lu Jiangyuan patted him on the shoulder vigorously, this was his son
