Chapter 88‖ The Wedding Feast Begins
It's November 26th.
Before dawn in the morning, the four members of the Zheng family got up early.
After breakfast, Zheng's mother instructed Zheng Zhendong to take out all the things needed to prepare the wedding banquet and put them in the courtyard.
While the Zheng family was busy, the neighbors in the yard also helped one after another.
Because it's Sunday, you don't have to go to work.
So everyone was free to help, and around 8 o'clock in the morning, the three uncles also rushed to the door of Zheng's house.
Mother Zheng saw them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"The first uncle, the second uncle, and the third master are here, and I trouble you about this matter today!
When the banquet is over, our family will thank you very much! ”
"Sister-in-law of the Zheng family, why do you look so polite!
They are all neighbors in the courtyard, and they should not be part of helping out if they have something! Yi Zhonghai said beautiful words.
"That's okay, the first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, you have bothered a lot! I still have some things, so I won't talk to you! ”
Seeing Zheng's mother leave, Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
"Okay, don't hold on, I've had a wedding for Jia Dongxu before!
You also have experience, this time we will still do it according to the last time! ”
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui nodded, and Yan Bugui said to Yi Zhonghai as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hmmm! Okay, you're a master, we both listen to you! ”
After saying this, he said to Liu Haizhong.
"Let's go, Lao Liu, you still do your errand to welcome guests, and I'll go and keep accounts for the Zheng family!"
After saying this, Yan Bugui asked people to move the tables and stools to the pendulum gate in the middle courtyard.
Liu Haizhong saw Yan Bugui sitting at the hanging flower door, and put on a posture to prepare for accounting.
Then he said to Yi Zhonghai, who was standing aside.
"Lao Yi, how much money do you think we have? I don't think the Zheng family's posture is small! ”
Yi Zhonghai nodded, and then spoke.
"You're right, Lao Liu!
Yesterday, I asked the sister-in-law of the Zheng family, and she said that there were more than 20 invitations alone.
According to the calculation of two people in a family, this is more than 50 people, and a table of 10 people is 5 tables.
In addition, the Qin family sent their relatives to open another table, how can the neighbors in the courtyard have three tables!
I guess I'll have 10 tables of guests. ”
"Good guy, this Zheng family is silent on weekdays, and the feeling is that the bun has meat and is not on the pleats!
An outsider can have more than 20 relatives and friends in the capital, which is amazing!
Lao Yi, I think it's better for us to offend the Zheng family less in the future.
Who knows one day, with a phone call, we will be like Jia Dongxu, going to the labor camp to mess around!
By the way, Lao Yi said Jia Dongxu, I forgot to ask you before, how long will he stay inside?
I see Zhang Yumei working in the factory, is this the top shift, or the top worker?
Because I had a conflict with her family before, I was embarrassed to ask others! ”
Listening to Liu Haizhong ask about the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai sighed first,
Before thinking about it, he still wanted to let Jia Dongxu be an apprentice, one was to increase his voice in the courtyard.
The other is himself, who is getting older and older, and the hope of having children is getting slimmer and slimmer, and finally pinning the matter of pension on him.
So he has been partial to the Jia family several times, but who knows that this Jia family really can't support the wall.
directly got jail for jail, detention for detention, and Lao Jia Jia Fugui was even more dying.
I have to admit that I am clumsy, but fortunately I don't invest much, otherwise I would have to die.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shudder, and said to Liu Haizhong.
"Lao Liu, I'm afraid this Jia Dongxu won't be able to come out for a while.
I heard Director Lin say that although Jia Dongxu robbed his relatives, he didn't succeed, and the court would sentence him to one and a half years before he could come out! ”
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai stretched out his finger, pointed at the Zheng family, and then whispered.
"I don't know what kind of relationship his family is looking for, but it has become a sabotage of the military marriage, and he has been sentenced to a top level, Jia Dongxu has to squat for 3 years before he can come out!
As for what you said about Zhang Yumei's entry into the factory, it should be the top shift, and I don't know the specific situation!
I don't even want to take care of their family now, a bunch of people who hold grudges and don't remember things, what a thing! ”
"Forget it, Lao Yi, you see that you are still angry, no, no, you can't be angry with his family!" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was angry, Liu Haizhong hurriedly persuaded.
The two spoke a few more words, when the sound of a car horn sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
Zheng Zhenguo, who was instructing Zheng Zhenguo, heard the car horn and hurriedly said.
"Your Uncle Zhang is here, let's go, let's not keep him waiting for a long time!"
After saying this, Zheng's mother led the family to the gate.
When he arrived at the gate, Zhang Shijun had already gotten out of the car and was about to enter the courtyard, and when he saw the Zheng family coming out, he spoke.
"I wanted to go inside and urge you, but I didn't expect you to rescue you!
Okay, Zhenguo is more energetic as soon as the groom official cleans up today! ”
"Uncle Zhang, you have complimented you, hurry up and go into the house to drink saliva and take a rest!" Zheng Zhenguo said embarrassedly.
"No, no! Let's go! Don't get too late! Zhang Shijun waved his hand and said.
"That's okay, then come back and talk about it, Dongzi, you go and carry the candy and go with your eldest brother to pick up the kiss!" Mother Zheng interjected from the side.
Zheng Zhendong nodded, quickly went to the house, took the candy and came to the gate of the compound.
Zhang Shijun saw Zheng Zhendong come out, first started the car with a crank, and then beckoned the Zheng brothers to get into the car.
Zheng Zhendong sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Zheng Zhenguo went to the back.
After seeing the two brothers sit down, Zhang Shijun said hello to Zheng's mother outside the car.
I put up gear and released the handbrake, added the gas pedal, and drove towards Qinjiatun in Changping.
Seeing the car drive away, the neighbors who watched the excitement in the courtyard asked Zheng's mother who the driver was and what it had to do with the Zheng family.
Zheng's mother said a few perfunctory words, saying that there was still such a thing to be busy at home, so she went back to the middle courtyard.
……
Zhang Shijun asked as he drove the car.
"Zhenguo, you're also getting married, what are your plans for the future?
Have you considered whether to return to the army or to change jobs and return to the local area? ”
Listening to Zhang Shijun's questioning, Zheng Zhenguo said with an embarrassed face.
"Uncle Zhang, you also know my current situation!
The body will not be able to fully recover for a while, and if you return to the army, you should be transferred to a civilian position!
But I don't want to be a clerical worker, so I can only think about changing jobs!
But there's no rush to do this, let's talk about it after we get married! ”
Zhang Shijun nodded after hearing this, and then said.
"It's okay, I'll help you pay attention to it first, see if there are any important people in the unit, and I'll notify you when the time comes!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for the sake of my family's affairs, you don't have to worry less! I really don't know what to say! Zheng Zhenguo hurriedly thanked.
"Okay guys, we don't have to be so polite, I'm different from others, the relationship is here!" Zhang Shijun said unrefusively.
……
The three of them chatted all the way, all the way to Qinjiatun in Changping, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the place.
As soon as he entered the village, Zheng Zhendong gave Zhang Shijun directions, and after a while, he drove the car to the gate of Qinchun River.
Without waiting for Zhang Shijun to park the car, Qin Chunhe asked people to set off firecrackers.
After a "crackling", Zheng Zhendong and the three got out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zheng Zhendong took out the candy in the bag and threw it towards the crowd watching the excitement.
Everyone saw that the sugar was sprinkled, and they all bent down to pick up the candy.
Taking advantage of everyone's efforts to pick up sugar, Zheng Zhendong and the three of them hurriedly walked to Qin's house.
After entering the gate of the Qin family, he first greeted the people received by the Qin family.
Then Zheng Zhendong took out the candy and cigarettes and distributed them to everyone.
At this time, Qin Chunsheng, the fourth uncle of the Qin family, spoke.
"Okay, hurry up and let the guests into the house, don't delay the auspicious time, it's not good!"
Only then did everyone welcome Zheng Zhendong and the others into the house.
When they entered the house, everyone greeted the salute again and invited the bride Qin Huairu out of the bedroom.
Kowtowed to the Qin family's parents, and Zheng Zhenguo also changed his words.
Zheng Zhenguo carried Qin Huairu out of the house, walked dozens of steps and came to the front of the car, and put her in the car.
After Zhang Shijun chatted with the Qin family for a few words, he asked the person who sent the dowry, drove the carriage behind the car, and shook the car towards the city.
In order to keep up with the carriage that sent the dowry, Zhang Shijun didn't dare to drive too fast.
After driving for more than an hour, I drove the car to the gate of the courtyard.
In the bangs waiting to welcome guests at the gate of the compound, when he saw that the person who picked up his relatives came, he hurriedly arranged for someone to set off firecrackers.
Zheng Zhendong got out of the car first and helped his eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo open the car door first.
Zheng Zhenguo got out of the car, came to the car first, and carried Qin Huairu towards the courtyard.
Zheng Zhendong followed behind his eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo and also walked to the courtyard.
As he walked, he sprinkled candy and smoke at everyone.
When he arrived at the door of Zheng's house, Yi Zhonghai arranged a worship ceremony.
Zheng Zhenguo put Qin Huairu on the ground, shouted to Zheng's mother with the master of ceremonies, and began the worship ceremony.
After worshipping the church, Zheng Zhenguo sent Qin Huairu into the cave room.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai saw that the ceremony was over, and hurriedly arranged for the Qin family's wedding party to sit down, and then shouted to open the banquet.
At this time, the neighbors who helped in the courtyard removed melon seeds, peanuts, sugar and other things from the tables in the courtyard.
The prepared cold dishes were served first, and then the wine that had been warmed in advance was served.
Due to the low standard of living, except for the relatives and friends of the Zheng family, everyone rushed to eat it as soon as they saw that the food was served.
Seeing everyone scrambling, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly urged the kitchen to serve hot dishes to everyone.
Everyone has eaten cold dishes, which can be regarded as a cushion for the stomach.
After waiting for the hot food, everyone stopped fighting so much and began to drink.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, it depends on everyone's drinking.
Yi Zhonghai shouted at the two Zheng brothers.
"Zhenguo, Dongzi, you two are ready to prepare, and start toasting everyone!"
Zheng Zhenguo stood up and said to Yi Zhonghai.
"Okay, Uncle Yi, I'm going to toast, you go and take a rest!"
It's late today, sorry! Everyone! Ask for votes!
