There are eight days of holidays between the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. Many migrant workers also go home to celebrate the festival. Some people are too far away from home, so they can only miss their relatives more during the festive season.
Xiao Junyi of the Xiao family got married, and his parents hurriedly returned to Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Some of Mr. Xiao's brothers and nephews in other places stayed in their own homes after the Mid-Autumn Festival before coming to Beijing, and some rushed to the capital early to help.
Mr. Chao's brothers and sisters and his cousins from the same clan all arrived in the capital before the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival and went to Chao Er's house.
Chao Erye has contracted the guest rooms in the two hotels closest to the community in advance. Chao family members or in-laws can stay at any time when they come, and there is no need to worry about where to stay.
Mr. and Mrs. Chao, Mr. and Mrs. Chao Yi, and Mr. and Mrs. Chao San finished work on the 28th and went to Lao Er’s villa in the evening. When Chao’s elders or brothers and sisters of the same generation came, they had a lively holiday.
Beginning on the morning of the 30th, members of the Chao family who came to Beijing later and the in-laws of the Chao family arrived one after another. The in-laws of the third Jun of the Chao family were the first to arrive, followed by Mrs. Chao’s natal family, and then the in-laws.
There is an endless stream with fellow tribesmen.
When the in-laws who are close to the Chao family arrived at the Chao family, apart from the initial greetings to each other, the second thing they did was to find Brother Bo of the Chao family and the youngest princess of the Chao family.
However, not only was the little princess nowhere to be found, but Brother Bo was also nowhere to be seen. After asking, he found out that the brother and sister were still in the paradise preparing dishes and snacks for tomorrow's banquet.
Not only were everyone not disappointed, but they were even more looking forward to tomorrow’s luncheon.
The little princess of the Chao family was indeed making snacks. She didn't sleep last night. She was cooking mooncakes by herself in the big kitchen while guarding the fire of the whole lamb. She was busy all night and the results were remarkable.
After a good sleep, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng, Mei Shaojun and Li Zhao, Brother Fu, Brother Qian and Brother Jie also got up early and went into the kitchen to make breakfast or do some homework, or water the flowers, trees and grass that needed watering.
After breakfast, Mr. Le Xiao prepared the ingredients and condiments for the mooncakes and led a group of people to make the mooncakes.
After eight o'clock, the hotel's chef team and waiters drove into the park with two carts of ingredients and one cart of kitchen utensils. The chefs were cooking in the Wuwei Building, and the waiters checked the tableware again and provided tablecloths for the tables.
The beautiful boy met with the chefs, gave the chef the menu and ingredient list of the dishes that his little dumpling had prepared, and then went back to the Wuwei Cupboard to make mooncakes.
Le Xiaoxiao went to pick up six of the twelve whole sheep brought by the chefs and threw them into a large basin with ingredients to marinate. After noon, he took out the marinated whole sheep and stuffed them into the sheep's belly.
Prepare the seasonings, goose, chicken, duck, glutinous rice, apply honey, put them into a stone vat to braise the whole lamb, and then throw the other six lambs into the seasoning basin to marinate.
In the middle of the afternoon, when Mr. Le was busy making mooncakes with others, a wave of visitors came to the park - the neighbors of the park.
There were more than thirty neighbors visiting the park, and they elected Mrs. Higashino as the captain. A group of people arrived at the west gate of the park and rang the doorbell.
Brother Fu went to open the door, invited the guests into Jiahe Zhai, then went to the Five Flavors Cabinet to inform the little girl, and turned on the kettle to make tea in Jiahe Zhai.
Le Yun washed her hands, took off her apron, packed several plates of freshly baked moon cakes and took them to Jiahe Zhai to entertain the visiting neighbors.
Brother Fu took the tea set, brewed the tea, and distributed the tea to the guests with Luke.
Neighbors drink tea and eat mooncakes.
The freshly baked mooncakes exude a strong aroma, and the filling is not the lotus seed paste, five-nuts and other fillings on the market. It is a filling made of several kinds of nuts crushed into pieces and mixed with honey. The sweetness is moderate and not cloying at all.
p>
Mooncakes paired with tea are a delicacy in the world.
After eating some snacks, the old lady Higashino, who was elected as the team leader, explained the reason for her visit. The neighbors heard that the sister-in-law of the little girl from the paradise was getting married on the National Day, so they specially sent congratulatory gifts in advance.
Representatives of each family brought gifts, including embroidery and small carved ornaments. Some families were office workers and did not have time to choose gifts, so they just wrapped red envelopes.
When there is a happy event among neighbors, everyone helps each other to give gifts. It is the most basic human relationship. The owner of the paradise sister is getting married. The boy's family and the girl's family have sent invitations, but the neighbors have not received the invitations. If they come to give gifts on National Day,
Naturally, we have lunch. If the host does not prepare enough seats, it will be difficult for the host to leave the stage, so give gifts in advance.
Classmate Le accepted the gift on behalf of Sister Fu, and also agreed with the neighbors to invite them to the park for lunch tomorrow.
The neighbors happily accepted the invitation to eat. Since the little girl was still preparing for tomorrow's tea, they didn't stay much longer. After sitting for about ten minutes, they left together.
The little girl has already prepared several main dishes in advance. The work pressure of the chefs has been reduced. They don't have to work overtime at night. The hard dishes that need to be cooked in advance can be prepared in one day.
In the evening, the chef and waiters went to the Haishang Courtyard in the guest house to stay.
Classmate Le also asked her father, Aunt Feng, Mr. Li and others to go to bed early. She guarded the kitchen stove to stew the whole lamb and knead the dough to make mooncakes. At midnight, she took the stewed lamb out of the pot and replaced it with another batch.
Stew.
Classmate Le Xiao made mooncakes until three in the morning. Then he went back to the east courtyard to freshen up. He called up his father, Aunt Feng, his younger brother, and his beautiful brother, packed them up, and flew the helicopter to Uncle Chao's house.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, when everything should be quiet, Master Chao's villa is full of fire. The Chao family's relatives and in-laws who live in the hotel also climbed up in the middle of the night to prepare for the villa.<
/p>
Classmate Le parked the helicopter in the public area of the villa and walked to Uncle Chao's house.
The four members of the Le family and the beautiful boy all wore new clothes and entered the yard of the second uncle's house. The beautiful boy shouted first to tell his elders that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were coming.
The in-laws of the Chao family are all in the hall on the first floor. The hall has also been re-arranged according to the ancient nave style. The wall facing the door is hung with paintings, a long table and the Eight Immortals table are placed, and there are also several tables on the sides of the table.
Chair.
There is a passage in the middle of the hall, with tables and chairs on both sides.
The old man, his wife, and his sons of the Chao family were talking with their relatives and in-laws. When they heard Bo Geer shouting, the old man laughed with joy: "The Yueqing couple are here!"
When Chao Xingqiang, the old man of Chao University, heard that Xiaotuanzi and his family were coming, he got up and ran away regardless of their seniority: "I'm going to see how Xiaotuanzi is doing."
It was the first time for the fourth child to officially come to the Chao family, and the three handsome men of the Chao family also rushed to the door to greet him.
The three brothers ran out of the hall and saw the fourth child and his family entering the courtyard. They ran a few meters faster. The three brothers of the Chao family greeted the fourth child and smiled so hard that they couldn't even see him: "Fourth brother, my brother and sister, I look forward to seeing you two."
Here we come, hurry in, the elders of the Chao family are all here."
"The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the elders have been kept waiting for a long time." Dad Le blushed in embarrassment.
"Why have you waited so long? We didn't even say thank you for your hard work." Chao Yi said, scooping up Leshan and smiling proudly: "Ha, I was quick and grabbed Leshan today.
."
The adults were talking, but the children couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. Uncle Chao picked him up, grinned cheerfully, and sweetly shouted: "Uncle."
"Hey." Chao Yiye was overjoyed and left with Leshan in his arms.
The eldest brother snatched Leshan and ran away. Master Chao and Master Chao were so angry that they stared at each other wildly. While greeting the fourth and his wife, he grabbed little Lele in his hand.
The little dumpling was snatched away by his father and second uncle. The handsome young man's hands were empty and he couldn't help but mutter: "If it weren't for my first uncle, second uncle and biological father, I would suspect that I picked it up from the trash can."
p>
The two brothers Chao Er and Chao San, who were holding Xiaotuanzi's hands on the left and right, were smiling broadly. They didn't care whether Brother Bo was jealous or not, and urged the fourth couple to go home to meet their elders.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, was originally very nervous, but when Xiaobo's little humor interrupted her, half of her nervousness disappeared.
As soon as Mr. Chao Yi arrived at the entrance of the hall with little Leshan in his arms, his uncle cut off his beard. He had no choice but to let his uncle catch little Leshan rubbing his face, touching his head and making faces like an old naughty boy.
Chao Xingqiang teased Xiao Leshan, and when he saw Chao Er and Chao San coming over with Xiao Tuanzi, he pulled the two nephews apart and snatched Xiao Tuanzi away: "Xiao Lele, uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time.
"Hey, why are you still so thin? Look, there's no meat on this little face. You need to eat more."
As soon as Lele's father, Zhou Qiufeng, saw the old man's face clearly, he saw the old man snatching little Lele away and calling himself "Grandpa Uncle". He immediately bent down respectfully and said hello: "Hello, Uncle."
"Okay, my wife, my wife. From now on, my family won't have to use so many false etiquettes. Chao Dachao, Chao Er, and Chao San will accompany the fourth couple in to meet their relatives and friends, and I will chat with Xiaotuanzi for a few words."
Chao Xingqiang smiled and accepted the gift from Yueqing Zhou Qiufeng, and asked Chao Er and Chao San to lead the people into the hall. He held the little pink dumpling and refused to let him go, and started chatting.
The three brothers who were named agreed, accompanied the fourth and his wife into the hall, and led the people to the Chao family members and relatives and friends.
Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao pulled the Yueqing couple in front of them beside them and introduced them to their relatives and friends.
In fact, the in-laws can also see the close relationship between the Chao family and the parents of the Chao family’s little righteous grandson without any special introduction at all.
When a girl from the Chao family got married, all the Chao family members wore retro clothes. The old man and the old lady in the same family wore retro Tang suits, and the color avoided red.
Mr. and Mrs. Chao Xinghua wore dark red peony tunic dresses, and Mr. and Mrs. Chao Sanjun wore blue clothes. The men wore the Republic of China-style clothes with a top and a robe, and the women wore a horse-faced skirt with a coat and a skirt.
The clothes of the Chao Da couple are mainly plum blossoms, the Chao Er couple are orchids, the Chao San couple are mainly chrysanthemums, and the Yueqing couple are also blue, with bamboo as the main tone.
The combination of the clothing patterns of the Chao family's Sanjun couple and the Yueqing couple's clothes just happens to be the Four Gentlemen: plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo.
Four middle-aged ladies wore buns decorated with flowers and pearls, and a crested hairpin with the same pattern as their clothes in the middle.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanjun of the Chao family and Mr. and Mrs. Yueqing stood together, forming a dazzling scenery.
Because there are so many in-laws, it is impossible to introduce them one by one. The old man and the old lady gave a general introduction, focusing on the parents-in-law of the children.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, followed the two elders of the Chao family and said hello to the elders one by one.
Yang Lao, Zhou Lao and others responded with smiles, while Mrs. Li pulled Zhou Qiufeng to the table where the ladies were sitting to talk.
Mr. Chao Yi originally thought that he could cover up Leshan for a while, but as soon as he returned to his elders, little Leshan was snatched away by his aunt, and he could only stare.
He is so kind that he doesn't recognize life, and he doesn't change his face when being teased by his elders.
Xiao Leshan is good-looking, wearing a light purple round-neck robe and a small round hat with a gem on the forehead. She is cute and very popular.
A group of old ladies liked it very much and rushed to make little Leshan play.
When the beautiful boy returned to his relatives, he was also unable to escape, and was pulled by his elders to ask questions.
Chao Xingqiang caught Xiao Lele chatting for a while, then let her go and returned to the hall.
Classmate Le did not go to the hall, but turned around and went up to the second floor, and then went to Sister Fu's boudoir on the second floor.
Miss Chao Er and the bridesmaids are putting on makeup.
Miss Chao Er only invited four bridesmaids, two cousins from the Zhou family, one was a cousin from the eldest uncle's mother's family, the Yang family, and the other was her school girl Geng Jingxin.
Ms. Geng also takes the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, but she only has three days on the 29th, 30th and National Day. She has to return to the station on the 2nd for duty.
The bridesmaids arrived at Mr. Chao's house at 30pm, slept through the night, and got up at three in the morning to put on makeup.
Both the bridesmaids and the bride have makeup skills, so there is no need to hire a makeup artist. The bridesmaids wear makeup and then put makeup on the bride.
The bridesmaids and the bride had put on their makeup and put on their bridesmaid dresses. The bride also put on her wedding dress. They were about to put their hair up. When they saw the little Lolita in the wide-sleeved dress, they immediately asked her to help.
Classmate Le went into battle and combed the four bridesmaids' hair into small buns with beaded flowers. Then she combed Sister Fu's hair. Because the bride had to wear a phoenix crown, she had to do it in a round bun.
The little Loli's dexterous hands shuttled like a butterfly, and she quickly combed it. Originally, the bride didn't have much hair, so she added a little wig when she tied it up, and the final bun was like a dark cloud piled on top of her head.<
/p>
I combed my bun, opened my jewelry box, and put on my phoenix crown.
The phoenix crown is similar to the style of European and American crowns. It has a round hoop with an opening at one end as the base and is studded with floral decorations. In the center is a nine-tailed phoenix studded with gems. The phoenix holds a string of hanging beads in its mouth. There are two small dragons hanging from the ears to cover the face.
bead curtain.
Leyun took the phoenix crown and put it on Sister Fu. Then she took the hairpins and flowers that fixed the phoenix crown and the bun and put them on them one by one. The ornaments were all matched.
Between the eyebrows, there are beaded rosettes hanging from the partial phoenix mouths on both sides, hanging down over the shoulders.
Twelve kinds of flowers surround the base of the phoenix crown. The flowers are small and delicate and will not steal the limelight of the phoenix hairpin. They fix the phoenix crown and the bun and are the icing on the cake.
The phoenix crown has an opening, which can be large or small. After wearing the flowers, it becomes a whole. There are two beaded flowers on the back of the head. Two strings of beads extend from the calyx and connect a cloud-shaped Ruyi lock-shaped Huasheng hanging on the back of the head.
After putting on the phoenix crown, Xiao Le's classmate took a cloud shoulder with tassels and put it on the Tathagata for the second sister. In this way, the phoenix crown and the clouds are complete.
"Wow, Chao Er, you look so handsome in this outfit!" The four bridesmaids gathered around the little Lolita to learn how to tie her hair. When they saw the bride who was well dressed, they screamed.
The bride is very beautiful, not just because of her stunning face, but because of her orthodox wedding dress and phoenix crown, which gives her unique temperament.
Chao Yufu looked at his makeup in the mirror and liked it very much. He took Xiaotuanzi over and pressed it into his arms, rubbing it; "Xiaotuanzi, sister loves you!"
"No, no, no, no, you should love Brother Xiao, don't love me." Le Yun didn't want to be kneaded into dough, struggled to escape from the clutches, then took a fan from the makeup box and stuffed it into the hands of her second sister: "Sister Fu
, it’s almost time, the team to pick up the bride will be here soon. I’m my mother’s family today, I’m going down.”
"Yeah, yeah, let's go, let's go." Chao Yufu took the ball fan and didn't leave any small dumplings.
The bridesmaid sent the little girl out, helped the bride sit on the bed, and then chatted together about hair-tying techniques.
