Chapter 51: Qian Zhuang Shuangqing

141 Qian Zhuang Shuangqing

Within a few days of Xia Hehua's departure, Zhao Zhibao received a phone invitation from Qian Feng and Wang Xinmin, saying that they would get married on July 10, and Qian Feng invited them to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new house on behalf of Qian Long.

Zhao Zhibao hesitated for a moment and asked, "How many days will it take for these two ceremonies?" It is not good for people who go to work to take time off, and I recommend combining the two activities. Aren't they all Qian families? It was held in Qianzhuang, and the wedding was also held there, as for the relatives and friends of the Wang family, the two of you can hold a few more tables of wine in Pingle, you said to Wang Xinmin, this is my suggestion, save us from going to the hotel! ”

Qian Feng said: "Brother Bao! You are a bit overbearing, how can I tell Wang Xinmin and their family! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "You just say that there are a lot of relatives here, and they all have to participate, and the place where they live must be solved!" There are more than a dozen Qian families, and I have four or five here, and it costs money to live in a hotel, so I want to save some money for the Wang family, but the Wang family is unwilling? Wang Xinmin, my brother-in-law is he unwilling? ”

Qian Feng said: "Good, good, good!" I'll discuss it and wait for news! ”

In fact, Wang Xinmin was by her side, and as soon as the summer vacation was over, Qian Feng came to live in Wang's house to prepare for the wedding!

Qian Feng said: "Xinmin! You have heard a rough idea, I think Zhibao's idea is very good, Qianzhuang is my house, my house has been built, our new house, but the real new house! No matter how many guests come, we can also arrange it, and our parents can also go there together, how good! Your relatives and friends, according to Brother Bao's advice, come back and make up the banquet, and set up a few tables in the restaurant to be polite and labor-saving. ”

Wang Xinmin said: "It's good, you can save a lot of trouble, listen to your parents' opinions!"

Qian Feng said: "This is our opinion, my brother's opinion, and the opinion of the relatives of the Zhao family!"

Wang Xinmin said: "Okay! I listen to my wife! ”

In the evening, when Wang Xinmin's parents came back from work, Wang Xinmin couldn't wait to tell them: "This is the meaning of the Qian family, the Zhao family, and their relatives, I think it's very good, Qian Feng and I also agree, do you have any different opinions?" ”

The royal father and the queen mother are honest people, since it is the opinion of the Qian and Zhao families, how dare they oppose it, it is good to think about it carefully, it saves money and effort, so they agreed.

Qian Feng immediately called Zhao Zhibao, and Zhao Zhibao said, "Sister! Very good, you have to show some of the posture of the principal in the future, the prestige of the party members, and lead everything in the Wang family! ”

Qian Feng said: "Brother Bao! Don't be poor, I'm going to tell my brother that at least prepare a sleeping place and a bed! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "On a hot day, buy a few more blankets and other things to cover your stomach, and we bring our own things and put them there, so that we can use them again in the future." ”

said that if you don't prepare, you have to prepare, Qian Long's brothers and sisters and Han Daniu have all made plans. The new 2-storey building has 8 rooms, the first floor of the east front room lives Qian Long and his wife, and the east back room lives the coin brothers; West front room, living Zhao Yuanqing and his wife; The west back room lives the royal father and queen mother. The east front room on the 2nd floor is a new house for Qian Feng. Liu Hei and his wife live in the east back room; Zhao Zhibao and his wife live in the west front room; After the west back room, it was changed to live in Sister Wang.

In addition to the two new beds newly made by Qian Long, they are all double beds in the old house, and the new bed arrangement: one is for Qian Feng; The second is to use Qianlong. The rest of the people are old beds, 4 single beds newly made, single 1 single 2 is used by the coin brothers in the east back room, single 3 single 4 is the west back room on the 2nd floor, mobile.

Qian Feng came back after arranging, but somehow, Wang Xinmin's sister found out and said that she must go, Qian Feng said: "Okay! You and your brother-in-law live in a room, a bed, no matter how many people have a house, but there are no beds, if you add 4 more beds, you can at least live in 4 homes. ”

Sister Wang said: "Sister! Borrow! ”

Qian Feng said: "Borrow? I don't know anyone, who do I borrow it from? ”

Sister Wang said, "Me! Am I not from a guest house? In the summer we have a lot of single beds there, and with a little money, you can rent them. ”

Qian Feng said: "Giving money is renting, not borrowing, borrowing is free." ”

Sister Wang is just an ordinary waiter, and she really can't borrow it if she wants to borrow it, so she keeps silent. But this gave Qian Feng an idea, which can be done in Qianzhuang. So Qian Feng took the opportunity to go to Qianzhuang again. Tell Qian Long to borrow a few single beds from the villagers, double is better. I just filled all four rooms on the left and right of the old house.

On July 8, Qian Feng and his family went to Qianzhuang. 1. Check the final arrangement; Second, I bought a lot of things for banquets, such as cigarettes, alcohol, fruit candy, etc. The brother and sister negotiated the banquet arranged by Qian Long, and the rest was arranged by Qian Feng and his wife. For example, firecrackers and fireworks were bought for more than 1,000 yuan, and Zhao Zhibao also sponsored 4,000 yuan for their brothers and sisters to share, Qian Feng was unwilling to accept it, Zhao Zhibao said: "Sister! Meaningless, this is just the money I got two needles, and your brother is not short of money! ”

On July 9th, Qian Long personally went to the county seat to purchase materials for the banquet, and said hello to Liu Hei and asked Liu Hei to help!

Liu Hei said: "You came just in time, you don't have to buy fish and meat?" I personally sent it and took Chef Hong to the head chef, what do you think? ”

Qian Long said: "How can it be done? In this way, I still give money for fish and meat, or I won't accept it! ”

Liu Hei said: "Okay, okay!" It's up to my brother, we'll come here tomorrow morning! ”

Qian Long said: "Tomorrow must be early, because tomorrow there will be two main meals, and Chinese food must be a little earlier." ”

Liu Hei said: "Okay! See you tomorrow! ”

Qian Long's procurement is very fast, because he has already procured it once, and this time it is only a supplementary purchase, mainly to pick up people.

Zhao Zhibao's family said that they would arrive at about 10:20, and then he drove the carriage to the bus station.

As soon as the car entered the station, Zhao Zhibao found Qian Long, because Qian Long's carriage was not allowed to enter the station, and it was at the gate of the station. Zhao Zhibao stretched out his hand to say hello to Qian Long, and the car went in.

Zhao Zhibao came out of the station: "Brother! How long have you been waiting? ”

Qian Long didn't answer, but still shouted: "Auntie, aunt!" You've done a great job! ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Brother! It's okay, it's just not very used to it. ”

Qian Long said: "It's comfortable to ride in the carriage, come!" Please get on board! ”

Zhao Zhibao held two big boxes in both hands, he put the boxes next to him first, and helped his parents to get into the car, there were two small chairs on the car, Qian Doudou sat on one, and Zhao Yuanqing gave it to Qiu Lianhua.

Qian Long said: "Auntie, sit down!" She's young and sits in a box! ”

Zhao Yuanqing said: "No! Flowers are key protection objects, and they cannot sit in boxes. ”

Qian Long understood and said, "Oh! Brother and sister are there! Congratulations on your grandparents! Brother Bao, you are amazing! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "My brother is still powerful, and I have two sons!" Mine is still in his mother's belly! ”

Laughing all the way, I arrived before I knew it. They were greeted by two brothers, Qian Feng, and two brothers. After greeting each other, Qian Long went to unload the horse, and Qian Feng stepped forward to help Zhao Yuanqing and Qian Doudou. Zhao Yuanqing and his wife were introduced to the west front room on the first floor, and Zhao Zhibao and his wife entered the west front room on the second floor.

It was the parents of the Wang family and Sister Wang who came by tricycle, and they were greeted by Qian Feng and Wang Xinmin. After sending the tricycle away, they were led to the west back room on the first floor, where Wang's parents lived. The west back room on the 2nd floor is where Sister Wang and his wife live.

Qian Long's mother, uncle and aunt (grandmother has passed) who took a car to pick him up by himself, lived in a double shop in the front room of the left house.

Han Daniu is the busiest person, she is responsible for cooking, of course, the young guests are all going to help, and Qian Doudou is in command.

This time is also the whole village pass (Qian Long's marriage is the whole village), the so-called whole village pass, that is, the men, women and children of the whole village are coming, they want to give gifts, but the gift is the completion of the new house, and the gift given by each family is different. For example, if there are three people in the family, 40 yuan will be given, 40 yuan will be given to 4 people, and 50 yuan will be given to five people, depending on the number of people. Wrap it in red paper and write the words of blessing and the name of the person giving the gift, which is the rule of the township.

After dinner, the young people began to move, some climbed the mountain, some walked, but most of them walked to eliminate the food account.

After midnight, the work of making glutinous rice dumplings begins. The glutinous rice is steamed like rice, then placed in a stone mortar and beaten with a wooden sledgehammer, as the saying goes, mochi. One person keeps turning the rice ball, and the two people take turns to use a sledgehammer to hammer the rice ball in the stone mortar, and beat it into a ball, so that it is better not to see the rice grains, and when it is to be eaten, it is made into a small ball by one - called glutinous cake, like the size of a table tennis ball, stained with sugar, sesame powder, fragrant, sweet, this is breakfast.

At about 8:00, Liu Hei and Hong Tianming came, and a cart full of fish and meat. Liu Hei greeted Wu Zijuan, Qian Feng led them to the east back room on the second floor, Liu Hei got out of the car to help Master Hong, there were many people who helped, in addition to guests, there were also women in the village, and the men in the village were responsible for setting the table and stools. Like a family, everyone does it. Under the guidance of Master Hong Tianming, it was ready at 10:00.

After a pause, he said: "Wang Xinmin's parents, Qian Feng's uncle and aunt, and Qian Long's parents-in-law brought a lot of money, and Qian Doudou and I were accompanied." ”

Then he said: "At the east table in the back hall are Zhao Zhibao and his wife, Liu Hei and his wife, Wang Xinmin's sister and brother-in-law, accompanied by Wang Xinmin and Qian Feng. ”
