Chapter 100: Engagement Banquet [1 Update]
June 14th was a big day for me and the white paper kite.
My engagement banquet with her took place on this day. Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.
Everyone is very optimistic about me and the white paper kite, and thinks that if we can get married, it must be a match made in heaven.
The engagement party was not a wedding, and the white paper kite and I were not dressed very formally, but dressed as usual.
It's just that the first banquet was held at the White Paper Kite's house. My parents and I had already arrived at the White Paper Kite's house to help the White Paper Kite's parents.
At the engagement banquet, the white paper kite's family set up a total of nine tables, which means that it will last for a long time, and I hope that the marriage between me and the white paper kite will be a good omen.
On that day, the white paper kite smiled happily, a smile I had never seen on her face.
That should be the happiest she feels!
She held my arm tightly, as if as soon as I let go, I would suddenly run away.
At the engagement banquet, we all had to toast the relatives of the white paper kite one by one, and the elders would persuade me to drink in various ways.
My amount of alcohol was very average, and when I was poured by them like this, I immediately felt that my head was empty, and the whole person was in a trance, as if I was about to faint.
Although my consciousness was still clear, it was a fluttering feeling.
The white paper kite helped me into the room, and when I was unconscious, I fell asleep.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, I was woken up by a white paper kite. She told me that all her relatives were gone.
I shook my head and said with some embarrassment, "I ...... I'm so ...... drinking."
The white paper kite sneered and said, "It's okay! My aunts and husbands like you very much, and they think that you are very real, and I won't worry about marrying you in the future. ”
"My uncle-in-law also said that they poured you wine just to see if you were responsible? If you keep putting it off, they'll think you're not responsible. However, you did well today, and you have been recognized by them. ”
"My parents are getting more and more satisfied with you, and the more I look at you, the more I like you. Today they had an afternoon of thinking lessons with me, so that I could treat you well. I wondered, did I make them so uneasy? How do I feel like I'm going to bully you if I marry you? ”
When I saw the white paper kite with her hands on her hips and complaining indignantly to me, I smiled happily and half woke up from the wine.
We have another evening to entertain guests, all of whom are relatives of my family. It's just that my family doesn't have as many relatives as the white paper kite family.
The three aunts and six wives of the White Paper Kite family have almost arrived, and when they first saw me and the White Paper Kite, they kept asking long and short questions.
I answered their questions very patiently. It's just that when asked about my career, I don't know what to say.
It wasn't until the white paper kite reminded me to tell the truth that I dared to tell her relatives about opening a Buddhist shop and doing business.
The relatives of the white paper kite were very surprised when they heard that I was in business.
Because they see me as honest, but I don't look like a business at all.
The white paper kite helped me explain: "He is relatively slow to heat, and after getting acquainted with him, he is not such a reserved person, and he is quite open." ”
……
In the evening, White Paper Kite drove her parents to my house. And I took my parents home first to start preparing, we don't have many relatives, we can't make up nine tables, only three tables.
It's just that there are more rules in the village, and at the engagement banquet, there will be a group of people doing things on the venue in front of my house.
I don't understand what those people do. But according to my mother, these people were specially invited by my father, and what they did, my mother said that she didn't know.
It's just that my dad said that this is also for the good of me and the white paper kite.
The parents of the white paper kite thought that these were just the rules of my family, so they didn't think much about it, and followed the white paper kite into my house.
The people at the three tables were almost all relatives from my mother's side, as well as some of my friends. And my aunt came only on my father's side, and the purpose of my aunt's return was not entirely to attend my engagement banquet, she was to see how Ma Fengju was doing recently.
She has spoiled Feng Ju very much since she was a child, which makes Feng Ju's personality more perverse and unruly, which is different from other girls in the countryside.
Feng Ju does not have an innate inferiority complex in her bones, which is inseparable from her aunt's education all the time.
My aunt first thanked me, saying that she had found such a lucrative job for Feng Ju, and then congratulated me on getting engaged to the white paper kite, hoping that we could be together for a hundred years.
It's just that my aunt has always had a positive communication with the white paper kite.
The white paper kite was very dissatisfied with this, and whispered to me: "Your aunt is too rude and completely ignores me!" ”
I told the white paper kite not to mind, these people in my family have a bit of a weird personality, just let her get used to it slowly.
At the engagement banquet, at the table of relatives, I and the white paper kite were all well entertained and toasted.
At the table of friends, there was a bit of a mix, including some of my high school classmates. Da Lei sat at this table, and when he saw me and the white paper kite, he was extremely surprised.
Da Lei said: "Chen Mo, you are moving very fast!" It's only been less than a year since you entered the industry, and you've even found your wife. Look, that peach blossom necklace I found you is useful, right? ”
Da Lei is really enough, and he can't wait to promote his business at the dinner table of the engagement banquet.
Before he finished speaking, many classmates rushed to ask the reason for the thunder. Da Lei told me the detailed process of giving me the peach blossom necklace.
When Da Lei saw me rolling his eyes at him, he didn't know it at all, and he was still talking about the peach blossom necklace at the dinner table.
made several high school classmates who were still old singles very excited about that thing, and they were about to be fooled by Da Lei to buy it.
If it weren't for the fact that today was the day of the big day for me and the white paper kite, and I didn't bother with him, I really wanted to scold him for being ugly.
At this time, there were other guests in the house. Feng Ju and Xiao Guo dealt with the affairs in the Buddha shop and immediately came.
Because when they arrived, it was too late, and they had to sit down at the third table.
The third table is all from the village, and they are all a group of people in the village who will come to eat when they encounter happy events and funerals.
These people come to participate in the funeral, which is a common thing in the village.
The white paper kite and I are almost finished toasting the three tables of wine, and Uncle Ghost is late.
When I saw Uncle Ghost who was late, I felt a little unhappy, and immediately said to him: "You came so late today, you must punish yourself with three cups." ”
Uncle Ghost said helplessly: "Damn, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" However, on your happy day today, I won't care about you. ”
