Chapter 38: The Li Family
He pulled the twelfth grandmother and whispered to her: "Go back later in the evening, bring more pork back then, and give it to your cousins and aunts and cousins to taste it too." "There are too many people to help, and if everyone shares the meat, she is afraid that it will not be enough, and the recent incident with the little sister, thanks to the twelve grandmothers, is only secretly sent.
Grandma Twelve glanced at Mrs. Ji, thinking that she had also been a chef all her life, and it was the first time she had eaten top ingredients, and she thought of the pork that was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue at noon, she was caught in the lifeblood, and she really couldn't say anything to refuse, but she couldn't always take advantage of others, so she should go home and see what she would give in return!
"Got it." Grandma Twelve waved her hand and told her to hurry up, she was busy!
——————
Although Ji Lao Niang felt that her daughter was the best and wanted to hold a special engagement banquet, the reality did not allow it, so she could only try not to wronged her daughter.
On the 26th Sunday, although she only invited close relatives from both sides, she still borrowed two more tables from the village, and arranged six tables of guests when it was full.
If you can't put it at home, you put it at the gate of the courtyard, anyway, the door of her house is very empty, although it belongs to the public, but if it is temporarily requisitioned, no one can say anything.
That day, together with wormwood, after the engagement brokerage lady who bought it looked at it, she asked Ye Shoujun to take it back again, and waited for the day when it was sent to Ji's house with great fanfare.
On this day, Father Ji also asked the secretary to be the "manager" - he is not only the leader of the village, but also the patriarch of the Ye family, which is very suitable.
The cousin Daqiang and the virgin are cousin Tangerine, mainly because they are of the same age, and the two are also waiting at the gate early, ready to welcome the matchmaker and the man's party.
The dolls who were playing at the gate of the courtyard saw a group of people coming from the single-plank bridge from a distance, and began to shout: "Come, come, the groom is here......
They are young and can't understand the difference between engagement and marriage, and it is rare to hold two events in major rural areas, especially the six hard dishes like the Ji family, which are already more grand than the ordinary wedding banquet.
What's more, in the countryside, getting engaged means that the marriage has been 90% successful, and when the conditions are not good, when the age is not good, say hello to relatives and friends, and live directly at the man's house, and no longer hold another wedding banquet.
So these dolls thought that it was the groom who came over, but no one went out of their way to correct them, in the hearts of the big guys, there is really not much difference between engagement and marriage, the only difference is that the two newcomers are not yet adults, and the variables are relatively large.
Walking to the door, Ye Shoujun first gave each boy and girl a red envelope, and then under the leadership of the matchmaker, the man's relatives and friends entered the Ji family hall in turn.
"This is the betrothed Ye Shoujun's father......" The matchmaker officially introduced the two parties - first introduced the man's immediate relatives to Wormwood, and then introduced the woman's immediate relatives to Ye Shoujun.
After the introduction, the manager arranged for both parents to sit down......
"Dowry!" Grandma Twelve shouted loudly.
Ye Shoujun's six good brothers who helped to "carry" the dowry entered the hall with a dowry in both hands......
"A set of women's clothes, a ...... of women's watches" In the continuous shouting of the twelve grandmothers, one by one the dowry gifts were put on the table for the woman's parents, relatives and friends to check.
The eldest aunt gave the young man the dowry next to him, and each of them gave a red envelope.
The Ji family has long known that the dowry is - a set of clothes, a lady's watch, six catties of fruit candy, six boxes of cigarettes, six bottles of canned peaches and six catties of pork, and six gifts to bless the newlyweds; handed over a gift of 101 yuan, which means one in a hundred.
Ji Lao Niang listened to the whispers of relatives and friends around her, and in their jealous and envious eyes, she was a little more satisfied.
Wormwood also gave Ye Shoujun a set of clothes and a men's watch in return - he specially picked one from the mall that was similar to the women's watch, which meant to ask for warmth.
Everyone was stunned by the generosity of the two families.
"Tea for your parents." The twelfth grandmother continued to shout, in fact, there should be ancestors worshipped, but now the Tang Kingdom has completely banned feudal superstition, so everything can only be simple.
"Uncle, please have tea!" Starting with the man, Wormwood holds the teacup in both hands to salute the fifth father.
"Good!" Ye Wudad took the teacup without objection, and after drinking it all, he took out a red envelope and handed it to Wormwood and said: "Although you are still young, you must also understand that the two of you will be a family in the future, and you will be accompanied until you are old. ”
"Well, understood, thank you, uncle!" Wormwood nodded, took the red envelope, and followed Ye Shoujun to Father Ji and Old Lady Ji......
"Uncle, please drink tea!" Ye Shoujun held tea in both hands and saluted Daddy Ji first.
"Well, give it~" After Daddy Ji took the tea, he also took a mouthful, took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Shoujun, without speaking, the flowers were inserted in the cow dung, he was such a good girl so early...... He didn't want to say anything.
Ye Shoujun saw that Father Ji didn't want to explain, so he picked up a cup of tea with both hands and saluted Mrs. Ji, "Auntie, please drink tea!" ”
After drinking tea, Ji Lao Niang also took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Shoujun and said: "Defender~ The two of you are engaged today, you are older than the little sister, if there is something in the future, you teach more, she can't do well, you tell me, I'll talk to her!" ”
The child is still young, and she is not in a hurry to explain, it really doesn't work, she is ready to change her son-in-law, anyway, she will see people's hearts for a long time!
It's just that Ji Lao Niang will also forget that Wormwood also has martial arts, and it is no worse than Ye Shoujun, if it really starts, I don't know who will fight whom? Besides, she still has a golden finger......
"Auntie, I know, don't worry!" He understood what Ji Lao Niang meant, if there was something wrong with wormwood in the future, he could come to sue, but he couldn't do it himself.
It's just that she really worries about it in vain, not to mention that since he agreed to the marriage, he vowed to take good care of his little sister and form a warm family like the Ji family with her. Of course, he can understand when he thinks about it, Ji Lao Niang's old mother's psychology will definitely not blame her.
After the tea ceremony, the chief manager invited the relatives of both sides to sit down according to the elders and children, and prepared to open the banquet, and the matchmaker also began to lead the unmarried couple to greet the guests with tea table by table.
At this time, a snarky voice came from the door, "Yo~ This is already open?" Why don't you wait for us? How can I say that I am also the child's aunt, isn't it? What's wrong? Rich, rich, and looking down on poor relatives? ”
The relatives and friends looked at each other speechlessly, although everyone knew that Ye Xiuhong was used to having no face and no skin, but it was also refreshed, who of these relatives and friends didn't know that the two sisters had broken off their relationship for more than ten years, but this was the Ji family's family affair, and they were not easy to mix.
Even if it's broken, Ye Xiuhong doesn't care at all, anyway, her father and mother are here, can she still drive them out in front of the two old men? Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and after such a big day, she knows that Ye Xiulan will definitely have some concerns, and she doesn't dare to make too much trouble.
If her inner thoughts were heard by the Ji family, she would definitely want to ask why her face was so big? I don't know who gave her the confidence, does she think that as long as the second elder of the Ye family is here, she can do whatever she wants in the Ji family? Won't the Ji family do anything to her?
Ye Xiuhong has been jealous since she heard yesterday that the Ji family deliberately killed a pig for today's engagement banquet, and she is so willing to do it for a dead girl?
No, she rushed over with men and children in a hurry, not only to fight the autumn breeze and come to eat and drink, especially to block Ye Xiulan, anyway, as long as she is not happy, she will be happy.
When Ji Lao Niang saw that after Ye Xiuhong came in facelessly, she pressed her only remaining reason and hypnotized herself over and over again - this is Xiaomei's engagement wine, you can't be angry, this is Xiaomei's engagement wine, you can't be angry......
The Ji family all looked at Grandpa Ye and the two elders, wondering what they would do? Especially Ji Lao Niang looked at it expressionlessly, if on such an occasion, they were still there and muddy, such a mother's family, she really didn't have to worry about it.
Originally, Grandma Ye really wanted to be with the mud, but from Ji Lao Niang's sharp eyes, she knew that if she didn't handle it well today, it was estimated that the youngest daughter would be separated from them and hate them, maybe she thought that their second elder called her.
"Ye Xiuhong, Li Baoguo, you take the child home immediately, this is not a place for you to come." said that his power is good, compared to the younger daughter can bring countless benefits to her mother's family, this is useless, the eldest daughter who fights the autumn wind in her mother's family every day; must be on the side of the youngest daughter, especially now that the youngest daughter's family has obviously stood up, and it is even more clear to show the banner, and they are ready to abandon the eldest daughter as a last resort.
It's a pity that no matter how good he thinks, he just thinks about it in his heart, talks about it, and doesn't do anything in his actions, or habitually wants to turn big things into small things and small things, but just a few words that are not light or heavy, he wants to satisfy the Ji family, and then give them unlimited benefits, is it possible?
Ye Xiuhong wanted to retreat for a moment, but in the face of the well-dressed Ji Lao Niang, she was no longer rational, and she just wanted to block her.
"Dad, I'll listen to Xiuhong." Li Baoguo just saw that the table was full of hard dishes, and now he was counting on his mother-in-law to fight for the autumn breeze and leave everyone to fight the autumn breeze, whether she was spilling jokes or dead skin, as long as she could stay.
"Dad, my niece is engaged, it's not too much to come over for an engagement dinner, right?" When she faced her father, she didn't dare to spill, she didn't dare to offend her father, after all, she often went to her mother's house to fight the autumn breeze, that is, she had her back to her father, and now she wanted to talk well, pretend to be pitiful, and strive to stay, Ye Xiuhong knew that as long as she stayed, Ye Xiulan would not be happy, and she would achieve her goal.
can not only eat and drink, but also add blockage to Ye Xiulan, this is her favorite thing to do, but unfortunately no matter how well she thinks about it, it is not so easy to get her wish.
