Chapter 659: Preparing for a Grand Engagement Banquet
Before the convoy arrived at the village, the lead car in charge of piloting the road saw that a large number of villagers had gathered on the highway several miles away from the village. For the villagers where Ah Duo was born, they are naturally grateful.
This kind of gratitude is not only grateful for the help of Mu Shanhe, but also grateful to the Ah Kun brothers and sisters. Because of the appearance of the Ah Kun brothers and sisters, their entire ethnic group has benefited from it, and countless people have benefited.
When he learned that Ah Duo came back with his child this time, and Mushanhe would come with him, several of the most prestigious old men in the clan made this kind of scene of dressing up and welcoming each other for miles after some discussion.
Seeing such a situation, Ah Duo was a little moved, and at the same time, Mu Shanhe, who got out of the car, also said in a timely manner: "Ah Duo, since this is a kind of hospitality from the villagers, then we can't refuse." Xiaoqin, you guys also come down with the child! ”
Under the greeting of Mu Shanhe, Xu Qin and others also held the child and walked out of the car. Seeing such a grand welcome scene, Xu Qin and Zhou Huimin could also feel the popularity of Mu Shanhe and Ah Duo here.
For the three young children, seeing such a novel costume for the first time was also very interesting. It's just that because the scene is a bit lively, they are all hugged by their mothers, but they look at everyone with curious eyes.
Ah Duo's parents, who also accompanied their daughter back, also knew that this was the greatest etiquette given by the clan to their family. Perhaps this is also the reason why even if their children are so prosperous outside, they still like to live in the village.
Ah Kun, who would come back even if he had time occasionally, saw the leaders of the clan elders, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him. For Ah Kun, he knew very well that there were very few people in the history of the race who could enjoy such a warm welcome.
While their brothers and sisters are grateful to the community, the community is also grateful for their kindness to the community!
When shaking hands with the clan elders, the clan elders also said with emotion: "Mr. Wu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so young!" ”
"Not young! They are all fathers of three children, and this time they are also thinking about taking me and Aduo's children back to see his mother's hometown. No matter where he goes in the future, he can't forget where his roots are! ”
As soon as these words came out, the clan elders were naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! Ah Duo is a lark in our clan, and her children are also children in our clan, so she should really remember and come back to see more in the future. ”
Taking the opportunity, Mu Shanhe took the child from Ah Duo's hand and asked the child to salute these clan elders. Listening to the child's cute name, these clan elders also smiled from ear to ear, feeling that Ah Duo was really married to the right person.
Although the children of Xu Qin and others have nothing to do with the Aduo ethnic group. But these clan elders all know that Mu Shanhe is willing to bring the other two children over, isn't it a kind of affirmation and recognition of Ah Duo?
How could these clan elders not understand this kind of truth?
Under the guidance of the clan elders, Mu Shanhe and his entourage walked to the re-planned village. Seeing that the village was almost renovated, Mu Shanhe also felt that it looked a lot more comfortable.
And Xu Qin and others also felt that the houses built in Aduo Village were indeed a little different from the houses outside the mountain. Considering that there were too many people, the clan elders did not let everyone enter the house built by Ah Kun in the village.
Although Ah Duo is a daughter, Ah Kun seems to have considered that his sister and Mu Shanhe should also come to live for a period of time in the future. In this case, he still paid his sister to build a fairly large house alone.
For this kind of wooden house, where most of the main body is made of wooden structure, Xu Qin and others, who lived in it for the first time, also felt that it really had a unique charm. At this time, Mu Shanhe discussed the matter of the family banquet with the elders of the clan.
The reason why it is said to be an engagement banquet rather than a wedding banquet is more because Mushanhe will not hold a wedding banquet. This kind of engagement banquet is actually a wedding banquet. But how to entertain, naturally need to be well planned.
Taking this opportunity, Mu Shanhe also said directly: "Clan elders, you must know something about my situation. As for the engagement banquet, I think it is still a flowing banquet, as long as the villagers are willing to come to the banquet, I will be happy.
As for the gift-giving you mentioned, I don't think it's necessary at all. The villagers are willing to come over to eat my engagement banquet with Ah Duo, and Ah Duo and I are deeply grateful. Therefore, I still bother the clan elders to tell me about these things. ”
After listening to Mu Shanhe's words, a clan elder soon said: "This is not very good!" If you drink alcohol, are there any gifts that are not given? ”
"The rules can sometimes be changed! Besides, Ah Duo may not have as many opportunities to return to the clan in the future as in previous years. Presumably, all of you clan elders also know that my hometown is indeed a bit far away from yours.
But if I have time in the future, I will often accompany Ah Duo and the children to come back to see. In addition, in order to organize such a big banquet, in addition to being able to contribute money, I may have to bother you to help. ”
After Ah Kun also recognized Mu Shanhe's decision, these clan elders finally didn't say anything more. Aside from the village alone, there are as many as thousands of villagers, not to mention, Mushanhe also plans to invite villagers from other ethnic groups.
This means that at the engagement banquet between Mu Shanhe and Ah Duo, the number of villagers who come may be tens of thousands. Although Mushanhe is not short of money for dinner, the cost of such a grand flowing water banquet is self-evident.
Two days after the engagement banquet was placed, and after discussing it with the clan elders, Mu Shanhe and Ah Duo also personally sent these clan elders away. After the clan elders left, Mu Shanhe also discussed with Ah Kun about buying ingredients.
As for the chef, although you can go to the county seat to please. But most of the banquets in the countryside are held by chefs from the countryside, and it may be more authentic to eat there. As for the taste, sometimes it depends on the ingredients!
"Brother Kun, if you don't have enough manpower, let Jianguo and them help you. Anyway, I'm only responsible for paying, and Ah Duo and I can't help with anything else. And if you have parents, you won't let them work too hard. ”
"Cheng, this matter doesn't need Lao Wang's help, we can handle it if we are responsible."
Tables, chairs, benches, and chopsticks, in addition to the villagers in the village will support some when they arrive, Ah Kun also needs to go to the city to temporarily rent some through relationships. All in all, there should be at least 100 tables to be set up at that time.
If there are a lot of people coming that day, I'm afraid there will be a turn to eat. Knowing that the banquet was so grand, Ah Duo also felt very moved. In her opinion, this is also a kind of disguised compensation given to her by Mu Shanhe.
Although she doesn't care what others think and think, after this engagement wine, at least in the community, others will not chew the root of her tongue anymore. For her and her children, the reputation will also be compensated for.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Ah Duo family, as a brother and parents, is so happy and dedicated. Compared with Xu Qin's extraordinary family background, this kind of wine is not easy to operate, and Zhou Huimin has no relatives at all.
In this way, Ah Duo, who has the favor of the entire race, enjoys more compensation and pampering!
