Chapter 87‖ The Wedding Feast Begins
Zheng Zhendong returned home and told Zheng's mother about Zhu Dachang's agreement to help buy meat.
Mother Zheng was very happy to hear this, then went to the bedroom to get the money and handed it to Zheng Zhendong, and spoke.
"Third child, you send the money to your Uncle Zhu first, and people will do things for us, so don't let him advance money to us!"
Zheng Zhendong took the money, and when he heard what Zheng's mother said, he nodded in agreement and spoke.
"Mom, you're so right, I think so too, then I'll go!"
After speaking, Zheng Zhendong went out of the room and came to Zhu's house again.
After handing over the money to Zhu Dachang, he talked to him for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.
Just wanted to go home, when he heard footsteps behind him, Zheng Zhendong turned his head and saw that it was a stupid pillar that he hadn't seen for a long time.
At this time, Silly Zhu also saw Zheng Zhendong, and then he spoke.
"Brother Dongzi, I haven't been able to see you for a while, what are you busy with?"
Zheng Zhendong heard the silly pillar greeting and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
"It's Brother Zhuzi, I didn't go to my fourth grandfather's house to live for a while, I just came back yesterday!"
After replying to Silly Zhu's words, Zheng Zhendong asked again.
"How is this time, is there any news from Uncle He?"
The stupid pillar, who was fine, listened to Zheng Zhendong's news of asking He Daqing, and said with an angry face.
"What's the news! Hmph, I took the rain to Baoding before.
But before I even entered the door, I was sent away by that girl!
I get angry when I think of this, forget about him!
By the way, Dongzi, I heard that my eldest brother is getting married, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask! ”
Seeing that Silly Zhu said this, Zheng Zhendong immediately thought that the chef hadn't been found on the day of the wedding banquet, and couldn't help asking.
"Brother Zhuzi, can you do the wedding banquet? If it works, I won't find another chef in my family! ”
Silly Zhu was very moved when he heard it, thinking that if the Zheng family's wedding banquet dishes were cooked this time, his reputation would spread.
When the time comes, someone else will find themselves to cook, and there will really be a day when the family can live a lot better, whether it is giving money or bringing some vegetables back.
However, he thought that he had no experience after all, and he was afraid of messing up the Zheng family's wedding banquet, so he spoke.
"Brother, I can cook the dishes, but there are some processes that I don't know!
Don't mess up your house then, that's not good, forget it!
But I can help you introduce a chef, it is my uncle, a master who specializes in Lu cuisine, called Chen Huanzhang, is the master of Fengze Garden, do you need it, Brother Dongzi? ”
As soon as he heard that Silly Zhu invited Chen Huanzhang over, Zheng Zhendong immediately said.
"Brother Zhuzi, you're talking about Chef Chen, my family can't afford to invite him!
People are the signboard of Fengze Garden, so you can come and help casually, you can just introduce a chef with a little more fame! ”
Although Zheng Zhendong said this, Silly Zhu looked confident and said with assurance.
"Don't worry, Brother Dongzi, I'll go to him tomorrow at noon.
I just happened to ask him when my master will come back!
Just wait for my news! ”
Seeing that Silly Zhu was so confident, Zheng Zhendong didn't have much to say, so he let him try it.
The two chatted a few more words, seeing that it was not early, and it was freezing cold, so they went home separately.
Back home, Zheng's mother had already made dinner.
The family sat down at the table and began to eat.
While eating, Zheng's mother was thinking about the wedding banquet.
Zheng Zhendong hurriedly introduced Silly Zhu to the chef and told her.
After hearing this, Zheng's mother sighed again and again Silly Zhu's enthusiasm, and said to the three brothers and sisters of the Zheng family that when the Silly Zhu family encountered difficulties in the future, they would also reach out to help.
After eating, the four of them sat at the dining table and drank water, continuing to think about marriage.
……
The four members of the Zheng family discussed until more than 10 o'clock before going to bed.
On the way back to the bedroom, Zheng Zhendong found that his eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo was much better than when he came back from the hospital, so he asked.
"Big brother, I see that your walking is much better than when you first came back?"
"Well, the third child, you have good eyes, you can see it!"
Zheng Zhenguo first said a word, and then said.
"I also feel a lot better, I have been lying in the hospital before, I have no movement, and my body is stiff.
It's not just a few days since I came back, I just walked two steps when I was fine, and as I walked, I felt a lot more relaxed! ”
Listen to Zheng Zhenguo say, "I'll take two steps if it's okay," Zheng Zhendong: "Haha!" smiled, and suddenly remembered that there was this sentence in Zhao Benshan's sketch "Selling Abduction".
This sudden laughter made the Zheng family furious, especially Zheng Zhenguo, who was in a bedroom, was even more confused, and couldn't help asking.
"Third child, are you okay? How to laugh like this for no reason! ”
At this time, Zheng Zhendong was also embarrassed, and he couldn't explain why he was laughing, so he had to speak.
"Big brother, I'm fine! Didn't I hear that you are well, I'm happy for you! ”
Hearing Zheng Zhendong say this, the family didn't think much about it, just let him be quiet.
After all, most of the neighbors are sleeping, so don't wake them up.
Zheng Zhendong repeatedly said that he knew, and then helped Zheng Zhenguo undress first and let him lie on the bed.
Zheng Zhendong also took off his clothes and lay on the other end.
After the two brothers turned off the lights, they chatted a few more words and went to sleep.
……
Early the next morning, the Zheng family got up early, brushed their teeth, washed their faces and ate.
After breakfast, Zheng Zhendong took the invitation written by Zheng's mother and took his sister Zheng Xinyi to school.
After a half-day class in the morning, and during the lunch break, Zheng Zhendong pushed his bicycle and went out of the school gate.
On the way, Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle and smacked a white-flour steamed bun bought in advance, which was considered to have lunch.
After riding for about 20 minutes, I went to the Industrial Security Bureau first and sent an invitation to Uncle Zhang Shijun Zhang.
Zhang Shijun heard Zheng Zhendong say that Zheng Zhenguo was getting married, and said that he would go to the courtyard in the afternoon to see if there was anything he could help with.
saw the invitation in Zheng Zhendong's schoolbag again, asked him to take it out and find someone to help him deliver it, and then he was going to drive him back to school.
Zheng Zhendong thanked him first, and then took out the invitation card of the fourth grandfather Wang Yanhui and told Zhang Shijun that this post would be delivered in person.
Then Zheng Zhendong took the post and was about to say goodbye to Zhang Shijun and leave.
Zhang Shijun called out to Zheng Zhendong, then took out an iron box from the drawer and handed it to him.
Knowing that Zheng Zhendong hadn't eaten, he asked him to pad his stomach on the road.
After Zheng Zhendong thanked Zhang Shijun, he walked to the parking lot with the iron box and took a look, and it turned out to be chocolate.
Zheng Zhendong was reluctant to eat it now, so he kept it for his family to taste.
Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle to the fourth grandfather's house,
told the eldest brother about the marriage to the fourth grandfather Wang Yanhui.
Wang Yanhui happily promised that he would definitely go that day.
After Zheng Zhendong handed the invitation to Wang Yanhui, he said goodbye and hurried to the school.
When I got to school and parked my bike, it was already time for classes to start.
Zheng Zhendong shouted "report" at the door of the classroom, and the teacher let him in class.
However, after class, the teacher called Zheng Zhendong to the door and asked the reason for being late.
Zheng Zhendong explained, and after hearing it, the teacher knew that because there was something at home, he would not be embarrassed by him.
……
In the afternoon, Zheng Zhendong spent the torment, and he couldn't hold on until the end of school.
Zheng Zhendong took his sister Zheng Xinyi to rush home.
After returning home, Zheng Zhendong first found some dry food to pad his stomach, and after the food was down, the discomfort gradually subsided.
After drinking another glass of water, Zheng Zhendong took out chocolate from his coat pocket and put it on the table, and spoke.
"This is the chocolate that Uncle Zhang gave me to eat on my stomach, I didn't give it up, you can taste it!"
"Chocolate? What is this? Third, I haven't heard of it! Zheng Mu asked suspiciously.
Zheng Zhendong knew that most of the people in this era had never seen this rare thing, so he opened his mouth to introduce it.
"It's a kind of sugar, we don't see it much here, Westerners like to eat this thing, how about you taste it?"
After saying this, Zheng Zhendong opened the box, and then saw that there were 10 pieces of chocolate in the long strip, which were placed in the box.
Zheng Zhendong gave each of them a piece for everyone to taste, and then gave the rest of the chocolate to his sister Zheng Xinyi.
After a family of four tasted chocolate, they thought it tasted good, but it was a little sweet.
Mother Zheng said after tasting the chocolate.
"Third child, after you went to school today, I found a few uncles in the yard.
When it's time for your eldest brother's wedding feast, what do you think of letting them help you for the day? ”
"Okay, our own people may not be able to take care of it, just let them help entertain the guests!"
Zheng Zhendong definitely didn't have an opinion on this matter, so he quickly agreed, and then asked again.
"By the way, Mom, Uncle Zhang said that he wanted to come over and have a look today, did you come?"
"Not yet, why didn't you say it earlier, I'll hurry up and stir-fry a few dishes, and wait for your Uncle Zhang to come and drink!" Mother Zheng hurriedly spoke.
Zheng Zhendong saw that Zheng's mother was busy, and also stood up and stepped forward to help.
After a while, I made four dishes and one soup.
At this time, the sound of a car horn sounded outside the gate of the compound, and Zheng Zhendong guessed that Zhang Shijun had arrived, so he went out to take a look.
As expected, it was him, at this time Zhang Shijun was busy moving things down from the car, and when he saw Zheng Zhendong coming out, he hurriedly beckoned him for help.
After Zheng Zhendong helped Zhang Shijun move his things into his house, he hurriedly spoke.
"Uncle Zhang, hurry up and sit down, drink water, and take a rest. We'll eat later. ”
After Zhang Shijun took a break, Zheng Mu spoke.
"I said, Brother Shijun, why are you bringing so many things, I have all the things for Zhenguo's marriage.
You still bring so much, my family can't use it up, when you go back later, bring it back to your younger siblings and children to eat! ”
Zhang Shijun took a sip of tea, stood up and said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't shirk it, hurry up and put things away!"
Zheng's mother and Zhang Shijun pushed for a long time, and finally had to accept the things.
Zhang Shijun watched Zheng's mother take the things and asked again.
"By the way, sister-in-law, if there is anything else at home, if you need my help, just say it!"
Zheng's mother hurriedly said that there was no more, and the family had all done it.
Zhang Shijun saw that Zheng's mother said that there was no more, so he spoke.
"That's it, I can't help with other things, on the morning of Zhenguo's wedding, I drove over to pick up the bride, how about it?"
As soon as the Zheng family heard this, they hurriedly agreed to come down, after all, it was such a long way, and let Zheng Zhenguo go by bicycle, he was afraid that his body would not be able to withstand it.
Zhang Shijun saw that the Zheng family agreed, so he spoke.
"That's it, it's settled, I should also go, there are still cases waiting for me to deal with in the bureau!"
After saying this, without waiting for the Zheng family to stay, he took a big step and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
The four members of the Zheng family hurriedly sent him out of the gate, and saw Zhang Shijun driving away before returning home.
