Chapter 230. Wedding feast
It can be said that as a person who has come over, Zhang Cuihua's hunch is still very correct. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countrymen are the most simple and direct, as long as you make a fortune, you will be treated as a big man, so the next day, Lin Yi received a lot of invitations, especially the third uncle's son to marry a daughter-in-law, and invited Lin Yi's family to drink happy wine.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't refuse, so he thought about how many red envelopes he should pack, one thousand, or eight hundred, and finally his mother Zhang Cuihua directly wrapped three hundred yuan, saying: "You can't give too much, and if you give too much, you will be like this in the future, so what can I do?" ”
Although Lin Yi didn't understand, his mother had the wisdom of his mother, and he just had to be obedient.
On that day, the weather turned up, and although it was still cold, at least there was no snow.
If there is something going on in one household in the village, the whole village will be mobilized.
Early in the morning, a group of wild children sucked snot that was about to freeze into ice edges, and gathered around the door of the third uncle's house to beg for candy to eat.
Lin Yi thought he had come early enough, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that many people had already come.
The snow in the yard of the third uncle's house was swept clean, and a fishskin greenhouse was built around the entire yard to protect from the wind and rain, and the greenhouse was tied very tightly, even if it was windy and snowy, it would not get in the way.
Near the pressurized well, two large stoves had been erected, which were used by the cooks who had been invited to cook.
The wedding and hospitality in the village are like this, arrange a private table, invite those who can make a wine banquet, according to the standard of 180 or 280 yuan per table to make a flowing water banquet, often down to seventeen or eighteen tables, the master of the wedding banquet also makes a lot of money.
This time, the master invited by the third uncle's family was a fat man, who drove a sudden tractor over, and the car pulled all the guys, what tables, chairs, benches, tea, dishes, chopsticks and saucers, everything was available. In addition, he also brought three capable middle-aged women over, these women have big shoulders and round waists, and they do all the work of washing dishes and serving dishes, so it can be said that they can also get hundreds of yuan of hard-earned money at the end of the day.
When Lin Yi arrived, a table for collecting "gift money" was set up in a conspicuous place in the courtyard, and several relatives and friends who went to the banquet were handing over gifts.
There are a lot of people in the countryside who eat flowing water seats, and there are also many people who deliver gifts, but the people in the countryside are not rich, unlike the city where a wedding gift is not three or five hundred, or seven or eight hundred, basically one or two hundred yuan, and Lin Yi touched the three hundred yuan in his pocket, which is enough.
When it was Lin Yi's turn, someone next to him handed him a cigarette, and then seemed to recognize him, "Isn't this Xiaoyi who made a fortune." Then this guy chatted with Lin Yi familiarly.
Lin Yi didn't know him, but people seemed to have known him for more than ten years, and it was very hot, which made Lin Yi very embarrassed.
But what was even more embarrassing was the three hundred yuan handed over by Lin Yi, and the people around him looked weird, as if the weight of this money was not commensurate with the rumors that Lin Yi had made a fortune.
……
At the other end of the courtyard, the third uncle was discussing with the old gentleman in the village who was literate and could write, how to write the couplet.
It turned out that the couplets had been posted last night, but who knew that there were a few naughty bear children who were cheap, and they actually tore up a few couplets, what "match made in heaven", "husband and wife love" have also become holes.
How ugly is that. So the third uncle immediately found the old gentleman, hoping that he would reach out and make up for the happy couplet.
There are not many people in the village who can write calligraphy, the old gentleman is the best, ten miles and eight villages know his name, often whoever has a happy event will stuff a box of cigarettes, ask him to help write with a pen, write a few couplets to meet the occasion.
But unfortunately, the old gentleman gave birth to a puppy not long ago, and the milk was not enough, and when he fed the puppy milk powder, he was bitten by the old dog.
The old gentleman was very sorry and said that he couldn't help, which stumped the third uncle and his son Jianjun.
The third uncle asked his son to build the army and ask someone to go to the county seat to find a few people who could write couplets and get a few pictures while it was still early. Son Jianjun said that the road is too slippery and difficult to walk, even if you get there, who will set up a stall to write on a cold day.
That's the reason when I think about it.
What can I do?
Just when the third uncle had a headache, a voice said, "Why don't I try it." ”
The old gentleman looked up, and his face was blank, and he didn't know him. This is the young man from Liba Village, he basically knows everything, but the one in front of him is very face-to-face.
The third uncle was stunned, and then hurriedly explained to the old gentleman: "He is Lin Yi, the only seedling of the old Lin family." ”
What is a single seedling? Don't you have a sister yourself? Lin Yi muttered.
But I don't know that the countrymen have always valued sons over daughters, thinking that daughters are the water spilled by married daughters, and only men are the orthodoxy of the family.
The old gentleman nodded, "It's so big, I can't even recognize it." What's the matter, you can also write calligraphy? ”
Before Lin Yi could answer, a voice said: "He can not only write, but also draw, but he is amazing!" "Needless to say, at this time, it was of course Cao Yidao who came over to support Lin Yi's stinky feet.
Lao Cao is also a person who can't be idle, unlike Lao Huang, as long as he eats and drinks enough, he can squat like a stone man for a day, he always wants to find something to do when he is full of food and drink. happened to hear that Lin Yi had eaten the wedding wine, so he pondered, he hadn't eaten the wedding wine in this village for a long time, so it was better to go and join in the fun, and let these villagers see the amount of wine he Lao Cao's boldness.
So, Lao Cao came uninvited, handed over a gift of 100 yuan, and mixed into the revolutionary ranks, intending to have a big meal with an open belly. Coincidentally, as soon as he slipped in, he saw Lin Yimao recommend himself to help write couplets. For Lin Yi's calligraphy attainments, Lao Cao knew that the "Tiger Picture" he asked for was sold for almost 30,000 yuan, so he was interested in hearing Lin Yi's help to write couplets. But the old gentleman was clearly illiterate, and seemed to look down on Lin Yi a little, so he even asked Lin Yi if he could write calligraphy, and Lao Cao immediately wanted to say that he was one of you ten.
"I don't dare to say anything else, my brother Lin writes that is a bar, especially his brush words are definitely dragon flying phoenix dance, iron painting silver hook, even if Wang Xizhi is alive, it can't be compared to ---!"
This is a big brag. Lin Yi couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Sure enough, the old gentleman was a little angry, originally he just asked casually, after all, young people nowadays can not write many calligraphy, either fiddling with mobile phones or computers, and even forgot how to write the font, but he didn't want this guy who suddenly appeared to dare to brag about Lin Yi like this, by the way, his impression of Lin Yi was also much worse, he felt that young people were too impetuous, too not to know how to be humble, and it was estimated that they would be a little bit of brush and hair.
"Since your friend says so, then you can try." The old gentleman spoke, and he wanted to see how many catties and taels this guy with hair had yet.
Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, and glared at Cao Guangtou, you guy has caused trouble for me again. (To be continued.) )
