Principal Yin was already feeling guilty when Li Xiaoyan was causing trouble in No. 2 Middle School. He felt that he had made a mistake. Yesterday, he learned that Zhou Xialong was divorced and Li Xiaoyan had broken Xiaole's millions of dollars, which made her feel even more guilty.
He felt very sorry for his classmate Xiao Le and Uncle Zhou. He tossed and turned last night and stayed up half the night. In the morning, he took the earliest bus with the leaders of the township central school, Jiudao junior high school, primary school, kindergarten, and leaders from the township for meetings.
A bus back home.
The car arrived at the Jiudao open-air parking lot two minutes before 11:30. Principal Yin had something on his mind and did not go straight with his classmates. He carried his bag and went straight to Meicun.
When walking on the street, the old principal didn't pay attention to the firecracker confetti. When he entered Plum Village, he noticed red confetti along the road leading to Plum Village. He didn't care about whose family was hosting what happy event.
When walking along the village road leading to Lejia, I found that there were still confetti along the way, but I still didn't pay attention. When I walked to the vicinity of Lejia, I saw that the confetti continued to extend forward, and I couldn't help but pay attention.
Principal Yin noticed that the scraps of paper went from the village road to the door behind the Zhou family's house, so he didn't think about it anymore and continued to move forward. When he almost reached the garden in front of the Le family's house, he heard that the Zhou family seemed to be very lively and couldn't help but
Full of suspicion.
He couldn't figure out whether the Zhou family had guests or whether the Zhang family behind the Zhou family was holding a happy event. He hurried to the Le family and found that the door of the north building of the Le family was closed when he arrived at the building, but there was a call coming from the third floor of the south building.
The sound of coming to Leshan to study made me hesitate.
Leshan is in class in the south building, which means someone in the Le family is at home. The door of the north building is closed, which means the owner and his wife may have gone out for something.
Before the old principal decided whether to wait in front of the Lejia Building, he saw a handsome young man wearing a long-sleeved shirt coming out of the alley between the north and south buildings of the Lejia Building. The young man was carrying a basket with the number of rice ears on his back.
The pile is like the top of a hill, and the yellow rice is particularly eye-catching.
Recognizing the handsome young man as Xiao Le's bodyguard, Principal Yin no longer hesitated. He walked into the floor in front of Le's building and asked, "Brother, is Xiao Le at home?"
Yan Xing recognized who it was at a glance and showed a faint smile: "Little Loli is at home. She teaches Leshan studies on the third floor of the south. Old principal, please go in and sit for a while. Mr. Chao and Mr. Yi Laoyan will be back soon.
”
"Hey." Old Principal Yin responded, walked to the front door of Le's house, waited for the young man to open the door, and then followed him into the house.
Yan Xing asked the old principal to sit down first. He carried the rice ears in the basket to the third floor to dry on the roof, then went downstairs, washed his hands and face briefly, poured the old principal a cup of herbal tea, and then went to wash rice and cook.
p>
As soon as he turned on the rice cooker, Mr. Yi Laoyan and Mr. Chao also came back covered in sweat. When the old men saw Mr. Yin, they said hello first and sent the rice ears upstairs before taking a shower.
The three old men simply freshened up and then returned to the North Hall of Lejia to drink tea with Old Principal Yin. The old principal did not say what business he had come to Lejia, and the old men did not ask.
When Mr. Le Xiao knew that Principal Yin was here, he remained calm and started class for his younger brother at 11:55 and ended the get out of class five minutes early.
After the morning class ended, Leshan put away his books, rushed to his sister's side, hugged her legs, and became a perfect companion to the big wolf dog.
The younger brother and the big wolf dog were so sticky that Le Yun carried each one downstairs and then put them down on the ground, locking the door of the south building.
Little Leshan and the big wolf dog waited for their sister, then ran ahead to have fun, and trotted all the way into the north building.
When Leshan saw a guest at home, she smiled sweetly, and then decisively approached her master and Mr. Yan. Grandpa Chao acted coquettishly and cutely.
Principal Yin saw the little girl who followed the baby and the wolf dog into the room, and stood up with a guilty look on her face: "Xiao Le-"
"Old principal, sit down." Le Yun grinned: "Old principal, have you heard the rumors about Li Xiaoyan's mother and daughter? You are so kind to those things that have nothing to do with you. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoyan and Meng Lili did not cherish your elders.
The opportunity created for them was like a fate that was ruined."
"Oh, I originally thought that Xiaomeng was a transparent person, but I didn't expect that she... was so confused that I made a mistake and introduced her to my uncle Leshan, which ruined the reputation of the Zhou family." Principal Yin felt particularly guilty.
, why did he think that mother and daughter were both responsible people?
"The Li family only has a little flesh and blood, and it is inevitable that a loving mother will lose her children." Le Yun didn't care at all about the character of the Meng family and her daughter. She smiled and comforted: "Old principal, please stop blaming yourself. Painting a tiger's skin is difficult to paint its bones.
It is difficult to know the heart when it comes to knowing people. No one can see through the hearts of the Montessori mother and daughter. Who would know that they are different on the outside and selfish in their hearts.
Old principal, please don’t worry about my Uncle Zhou’s reputation. Even if I get divorced again, my Uncle Zhou’s reputation will not be ruined. If I divorce, I will be able to marry a wife. No, I, Uncle Zhou, got married again.
We have a wedding today, and the new daughter-in-law just walked in."
The little classmate was comforting himself, and the old principal blamed himself even more. He didn't know how to make up for his mistakes. When he heard that Uncle Zhou was getting married again, everyone was shocked.
"Uncle Zhou is getting married again, is he getting married today?" So, the confetti on the road was caused by Uncle Zhou's marrying his wife and setting off firecrackers, not a wedding held by someone else's family?
"Yes, the new daughter-in-law came in less than an hour ago," Le Yun smiled and nodded: "My dad and Aunt Feng are helping at the Zhou family. The banquet will be held at twelve o'clock, and I will also take my brother there for dinner.
Old principal, if you don’t mind, can we go together? If you don’t want to go, you can have dinner at my house today at noon. Handsome Yan and Yan Laoyan are always at home.”
"No, no, I won't go over. I'll have dinner at your house." Principal Yin was slowed down by the news that Zhou Xialong had married a new wife. His mind was confused, so he would usually say "I won't eat anymore."
However, he was tricked into it by his classmates and chose to have lunch at Lejia.
"That's it. You're welcome at Xiao Lele's house. Xiao Tuanzi, please take Leshan there. I won't go either."
Mr. Chao patted Mr. Yin on the shoulder with a smile: "We have two drinks at noon. Xiao Lele keeps a close eye on us elders and doesn't let us drink more. We only drink more when there are guests, which hurts us."
I drool when I look at the wine jar every day."

Yilao Yanlao also agreed.
Principal Yin nodded nervously, hesitated, rummaged through his backpack, and after searching for a long time, he only found three red banknotes. He was quite embarrassed and said, "Xiao Le, do you have any cash? Please lend me a thousand red envelopes first."<
/p>
"Okay, I'll get it." Le Yun didn't say that she didn't need to give a red envelope or anything. She ran upstairs, went to the study room, dug out a box, took out a thousand cash notes, and then took a red envelope and went downstairs.
Principal Yin packed a red envelope worth one thousand and two dollars and gave it to his junior classmates to take to the Zhou family. He asked not to mention that it was from him, lest the Zhou family know about it and call him to dinner.
Le Yun also understood the old principal's mood. He felt bad. If he went to Zhou's house, he would feel even more guilty. So he didn't talk nonsense, stuffed the red envelope into his sleeve, took his little brother's hand and went to Grandma Zhou's house.
p>
Grandma Zhou was scheduled to serve at twelve o'clock, and with five minutes left, she set off a string of thousands of firecrackers to urge the guests to take their seats.
Villagers from Meicun who knew that Zhou Xialong was marrying continued to arrive after the bride came in. Even some people from neighboring villages came uninvited.
Originally there were twenty tables, but it was not enough, so another table was added on the patio, but it was still not enough. Grandma Zhou Man took the initiative and cleared out her sister-in-law's room to set up two tables, where the female guests would sit.
After the firecrackers went off, another group of people rushed to Zhou's house and filled the seats.
At twelve o'clock, Village Chief Zhou took the person in charge of the banquet to inspect the place. He found that it was still a bit crowded, so he added two more tables to the room where Zhou Chunmei originally lived on the second floor and arranged all the people.
The guests were seated. Village Chief Zhou looked at the Chairman and saw that there were still two empty seats and shouted: "Zhou Tianming, go see if Leshan has finished class."
"Grandpa Man, get out of class is over." The old man shouted vigorously, and his cheerful voice came from outside the door into the Zhou family hall.
"Ouch, Cao Cao is here."
"Fortunately, I didn't say bad things about people behind their backs. If I did, Little Yazai would have heard it."
The people waiting for Miss Lejia in secret burst into laughter.
Leshan followed her sister to the door of her grandmother's house and heard Grandpa Man talking about herself. She responded first, then followed her sister up the steps and crossed the threshold to enter her grandmother's house.
Grandma Zhou took her son and new wife, and Grandma Zhou Man followed Village Chief Zhou to invite the guests to take their seats. When they saw the two little cubs arriving, they happily waited for them to come over.
Leshan was very polite. She first called her grandma, grandpa, grandma, grandma, and grandma, then uncle, and finally called "aunt" to Ms. Li in red.
The sound of "aunt" made the Cao family feel refreshed and energetic.
Ms. Li was also filled with joy and quickly gave the red envelopes she had been preparing to each of the Le family siblings.
Leshan took the red envelope and stuffed it into her sister's wide sleeves.
Village Chief Zhou didn't see Mr. Chao and asked why he didn't come.
"We have a guest at my house. My grandpa Chao is staying with the guest and won't come over at noon." Le Yun explained with a smile and stuffed the red envelope given to her by Ms. Li into Guangxiu's inner pocket.
Xiao Lele said that there was a guest at the Le family. Village Chief Zhou guessed that it was Xiao Lele’s friend, but he did not invite him and urged the little boy to go to the table and take a seat.
Grandma Zhou took Xiao Lele's little hand and said, "You refused to sit at the table last time, and we didn't force you. You must sit today."
"It's not my turn to sit at the top of the table. It's a big deal if I take the second seat." Let her sit with a bunch of old people? To be honest, Le Yun really doesn't want to. It's weddings and weddings, and the guests in the chair are the slowest to eat. At least they have to eat.
It’s hard to stay up for more than an hour, so you can just sit on a side table and eat a full meal before walking away.
"Miss Le, if you don't sit at the table today, no one in our Cao family will be able to sit still." Everyone in the Cao family stood up together. This marriage was only possible because the girl from the Le family was jealous. If she doesn't sit at the main table, who in the Cao family can feel at ease?
"The Cao family is a wedding guest from my mother's family, so it is natural for me to sit at the banquet. I am a relative of the husband's family, so I should sit at the side table."
"We don't care at other times. Today you and Zhou Ba's wife are the official guests. You can't sit at the side table. Xiao Lele, hurry up and go to the table with your aunt."
Village Chief Zhou made the final decision and without any explanation, handed the little boy to Aunt Pa and asked Aunt Pa to take her to the banquet.
Leshan was very smart. He ran forward quickly to where Grandma Chao and Mrs. Wu were sitting, and stuffed it in the middle to serve as a small sandwich biscuit.
The little boy sneaked over, and Mrs. Chao and Mrs. Wu were having fun. They rubbed the little guy's head with a smile, and even looked at his sleeves to tease him about why he didn't hide the red envelope himself.
The eldest son of the Le family wears a wide-sleeved coat, while Leshan wears straight sleeves. The clothes of the siblings are mainly sky blue and embroidered with flowers.
He is willing to let others touch his head, and he is indeed a well-behaved and cute baby.
Le Yun, who was being pulled by Aunt Pa, had to go even if she didn't want to sit at the table. She was stunned when Aunt Pa and an old man from the Cao family who was Cao's grandma's sister-in-law sat on the side near the north wall. Aunt Pa sat on the side.
On the side facing away from the back hall.
Xiao Lele and the matchmaker sat down. Village Chief Zhou asked his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law to take the newlyweds to the table. He went to the kitchen to inform the dishes.
Grandma Zhou and others sat down in the main room.
When the guests are seated, the kitchen staff brings the pots and dishes.
Because the weather is hot, I don’t eat hot pot. However, since I am getting married and setting up a banquet at home, I must have a pot to show my happiness, otherwise I will not be able to enjoy the meal, so I set up a pot rack to hold the pot instead of a round table.
The first course is a base dish of spareribs, followed by three main courses.
After four dishes were served and several strings of thousands of firecrackers were set off, Village Chief Zhou led the newlyweds in the main room and said a few words to thank the guests, then toasted a glass of wine and officially opened the banquet.
After the guests had finished their meal, Village Chief Zhou also went to the lower hall to have dinner.
There were guests at each table at the main banquet in the upper room. When the guests greeted the Cao family, Leyun acted as a mascot and just ate and drank.
After the first dish was served, three more dishes were served after ten minutes.
The second round of dishes is served, and the newlyweds toast.
Toasts are first made to the host. Not only the guests, but the newlyweds also have to make three toasts to the matchmaker. Mr. Le Xiao doesn’t drink, so his aunt drinks on his behalf.
After toasting to the four tables in the upper room, the newlyweds then go to other tables to toast one by one.
At the end of the toast for the newlyweds, the third round of dishes was served. When the newlyweds finished their toast, the kitchen staff served the last round of dishes, two vegetarian and one meat.
The last meat dish is meatballs, which represents completion and also means that the food has been served. If anyone has something to do or is in a hurry, they can leave the table early after the meal.
When the last dish was served, the young people of the Zhou family left the table and went to Grandma Zhou's room to carry out baskets and distribute wedding cakes and red envelopes to each table of guests.
The money in the red envelope is not much, usually two, four or six yuan is enough. One red envelope per person, no matter young or old, everyone has a share.
The Zhou family’s red envelope is four yuan, no more, no less.
The wedding cake not only includes cakes, but also wedding candies, packed in bags, one for each person.
The villagers who came to Zhou's house for a wedding banquet got the wedding cake, ate for a while, and until they were full and drunk, they gathered in groups and returned to their homes one after another.
The guests at the banquet all resigned, and Village Chief Zhou went to the banquet to accompany the guests to drink. The Cao family was afraid that the bride-to-be would get drunk and cause something embarrassing.
Due to the kindness of the village chief, I stopped drinking.
The guests at the table ate until about 1:20, and the guest of honor dispersed after enjoying themselves.
After the host and guests dispersed, Mrs. Liu and others who were in charge of the work quickly cleared away the tableware and served tea and fruit plates.
After drinking a cup of tea with the Cao family, Le Yun first excused herself, found Uncle Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and gave the red envelope given by Principal Yin to the newlyweds.
Brother Zhou was embarrassed to accept the red envelope from Principal Yin, but the little boy told him that if he didn't accept the red envelope, the old principal would think that the Zhou family was complaining that he didn't do a good job as a matchmaker last time, so he accepted it.
Grandma Zhou packed a wedding cake and candies, and a red envelope, went to the kitchen to get a piece of meat, and asked her son and wife to take the return gift for the old principal and go with Xiao Lele to Lejia to express her gratitude to the old principal.
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li were going to the Le family to express their gratitude to the old principal. Le Yun greeted the Cao family and went home first with Mr. Li, who was holding her younger brother.
