Early the next morning, according to Xinlan's meaning, Fusheng took leave and did not go to the construction site again. After breakfast, he asked Lu Dong to go to a few old relatives who lived not far away to deliver the goods, while he and Xinlan went to Liuzhuang with gifts to arrange the marriage, and the two families finally exchanged views.

When we meet, enthusiasm is essential. After Fusheng and Xinlan explained their intentions, Liuqin's parents roughly explained the requirements and customs of their side. As a result, the two sides talked about the customs and requirements of both sides, smoothed things out little by little, and unified their opinions. Naturally, when speaking, Fusheng and Xinlan also apologized for their family's poor preparation, fortunately, Liuqin's parents are understanding people, and they understand that at this time, the two families have become relatives, and it is inappropriate to talk about foreign words, so the two are good and good, and everyone discusses the links in the province for a common purpose, so the marriage process is set.

Seeing that the matter was properly discussed, Fusheng and Xinlan knew that both families had something to do and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they thanked Liu Qin's parents for the lunch they kept and returned home, and at this time, Lu Dong had also returned home after finishing his errands. So, when the family of three was having lunch at home, they discussed and made arrangements for the two or three days before New Year's Day.

Then everything was going according to plan, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding.

Early that morning, Yong'en, who was in charge, came to Fusheng's house. Haihai, Weiwei, Quansheng and Lai Jizhou, a few friends who often play with Lu Dong, also specially asked for leave and ran over early to help. Seeing the people coming, Yongen instructed a few people from Haihai to follow Lu Dong and ride a tricycle to go into the city with the menu listed by chef Shunqing, while asking the people who stayed at home to help pull the bricks and help the cook build the stove, and he himself and Fusheng Xinlan went to settle the candidates for tomorrow. Everyone was talking and laughing, while listening to the command and being busy in an orderly manner, after the busy morning to the afternoon, there were more people to help, Lu Nan and Xiaocun, Xiaohua sisters also returned home, this time it was more lively, everyone was busy with this and that, until it was close to dusk, trivial things were all dealt with, the people to be used, who posted the post, who set off the guns, who went to call who picked up at home, who accompanied the guests, everything has been implemented on paper, and it has been listed and placed properly; As for tomorrow's banquet, the dishes are all ready, the shed is also up, the meat that needs to be cooked in advance is also taken out of the pot and put in the basket to cool, and the meatballs and tofu that should be oiled are also full of cases.

Seeing that everyone had been busy all day and everything was settled, Fusheng and Xinlan let go of their hearts. After dinner, because they were worried that the elderly Uncle En and the chef who had been busy all day would have important tasks to take on the next day, Fusheng and Xinlan urged them to go back early to rest after consulting their opinions, leaving only themselves and a few young people such as Lu Dong and Haihai to guard here, while receiving the neighbors who came up to add boxes on the street, while drinking and talking here.

In fact, the first two days of the box have been added one after another, and the late ones have also come during the day, and now it is nothing more than a leak. According to the traditional habits in rural areas, the box is generally chosen in the first two days of the wedding, and everyone can be early or late, and there is no fixed time; At this time, the host family will generally put wine, make a few cold dishes, or put a few fruit plates, the intention is to entertain the guests who come to add the box, everyone calls this a table. Of course, most people don't necessarily stop or actually eat, but these are essential etiquette. Lu Dong is naturally no exception, he had prepared these according to his father's instructions two days ago, and also put them on the table, and all those who came to add boxes were placed in order to return the gift in the future.

Because most of the boxes had come in advance, there were not many people who came at this time. Lu Dong, Haihai and a few other young people felt bored when they were idle, so they simply took out the wine and drank around the table. I don't drink a glass of seawater, but I keep persuading others, and occasionally there are people who come to add boxes, so I go to persuade people to drink, say something that doesn't walk on one leg, drink a double happiness, drink a Taoyuan Sanjieyi......, the reason why this is so, according to him, is because he drank too much two nights and then went back to Guizhi for a while, so he remembered it vividly. He remembered Gui Zhi's advice, and was worried that he would make a fool of himself when he met Gui Zhi's family tomorrow, so he had the intention to keep the amount to accompany the guests. However, Lu Dong can understand his style, but Wei Wei and a few people who don't understand the situation are unwilling, so whenever someone comes to add a box, everyone will use words to disgust him. said in a hurry, the sea water couldn't dodge, so he replied: "Don't talk about me anymore, if you want to say it, just say that Lu Dong is going, it's all him!" Don't drink early or late, wait for me to just come back from the construction site, he pulled me to drink, you think, this hollow head wine can not be drunk, let me feel uncomfortable for two or three days, then tomorrow he gets married, come are my wife's people outside the door, then I can't accompany the guests, you say I drink again tonight, tomorrow don't drink to the ball is weird! ”

The sea water has a red mouth and white teeth, and he doesn't stammer a little when he tells lies, others can't talk about him if they don't know the situation, Lu Dong is listening, and he can't help but want to expose him, so he pointed to the sea water and said: "This person is talking mischievous, and I don't know who was in a hurry to drink that day?!" At night, when I was eating, I came to the door with a bowl, and I had to fight with me, but I was stunned, and now I am still relying on me! ”

"Rely on you? I'm not bad at all! Tell me about you, if I don't find a chance to drink with you two more times, as soon as you finish your errands and leave, where will everyone go to find you to drink? Isn't this all to blame you? Hai Hai retorted casually, and Lu Dong, who said a word, couldn't answer.

Everyone watched from the sidelines, listened to what the sea said, and knew that he was unreasonable and wanted to force three points. But when I think about it, I also feel that what the sea said is also true. So, they rushed to ask Lu Dongdao: "Don't say it, what Haishui said is still reasonable, I don't know when you will leave after tomorrow, let's find a chance to get together again!" ”

"Of course! When I came over that day, I thought, this time, once I leave, I will definitely not be able to come back in three days, thinking that the brothers should get together, but just in time for my marriage, you are still working, and this time is delayed to this day. To be honest, I have lived in my hometown for one or twenty years, and I have feelings, and I am so reluctant to leave suddenly. I remember that after others pulled away the furniture last week, Liu Qin and I still looked along the wall, looked at Haizigou, the turret and the temple, and then went to the gate wharf again, why? It's not because I'm a little reluctant to go. However, fortunately, my daughter-in-law's household registration is still here, and Lu Nan will not leave in the future, so that our brothers will not be separated, speaking of which, I will leave the words here today, no matter where I go, we will always be good buddies and brothers, even if I go, I will also strive to be present when you do things, really in case you don't come back, I will also explain to someone, and there will definitely be no less things in etiquette at that time, and in the future, I will come back or you go, we will meet or be like that, drink when you should drink, you will be scared, and you will not be in the middle?! Lu Dong raised his glass as he spoke.

When everyone saw it, they responded one after another, and they all raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses. When he put down the cup and refilled it, perhaps inspired by Lu Dong's words just now, the sea water no longer shirked. In this way, a few people talked and drank here until the second half of the night, and when it was late, they couldn't go again, so they drove the married seawater back home, and the rest of the people all rolled into Lu Dong's bed to sleep, but it was in line with the custom of getting married and pressing the bed.

There was no word all night, and early the next morning, all the people who helped came to Fusheng's house. Everyone listened to the steward's command, finished breakfast, and prepared to stop, and as soon as the auspicious time arrived, the troops divided into two ways, and all the people were busy preparing the wine and delicacies, tables, chairs and benches needed to entertain the guests; On the other hand, under the leadership of Gui Zhi and Lu Dong, he went to Liuzhuang and married Liu Qin back to his home. At this time, guests from all walks of life gathered together, and the festive atmosphere reached a climax. Everyone was happy and gathered together, and after the wedding ceremony for Lu Dong and Liu Qin, it was time for the wedding banquet. So after a busy time, when the meal was served, everyone sat down according to the guests and hosts, and enjoyed the delicious food. And because the cinnamon branch and the sea water are dual identities, naturally, the fish is not less, and the wine is not less drunk at all.
