Chapter 452: Banquet
Zhao Liangsheng’s treat for Sunday noon was spread widely, and most people in the village knew about it. People who had contact with their family, and people who sincerely wanted to get close to Zhao Liangsheng, sent all the congratulatory gifts one after another.
On the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Liangsheng checked his account book and found that the five tables originally ordered were not enough. He hurriedly rode his bicycle to the city and added two more tables.
There is a saying that when you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. I think back when my family was poor, only Zhao Liangxuan's family in the whole village was close to them.
I remember that when the Zhao Yu brothers were added to the family, only Zhao Liangxuan and his neighbors gave them eggs, brown sugar, etc. The rest were gifts from my mother-in-law's family.
Zhao Liangsheng never thought that Zhao Chen's schooling would cause such a big stir in the village. In addition to people he had contact with, the village chief, the secretary, and some people he was not familiar with all sent wedding gifts. Zhao Liangsheng didn't know that he
When did Zhao Liangsheng become so important in the village? This was simply the treatment he received from a member of the two committees of the village, but when he thought about it again, it was true that there were many people saying hello to him on his way home.
Thinking of this, Zhao Liangsheng couldn't help but feel proud. Now he, Zhao Liangsheng, could be considered a prominent figure in the village.
Since everyone values him so much, the banquet must be beautifully organized. The standard set by Zhao Liangsheng is also high. A table costs two hundred yuan, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, elbows, and everything. This banquet is destined to lose money.
Yes, but it doesn't matter, just feel comfortable.
At this time, weddings in rural areas rarely lose money. In order to save money, most people hold weddings in the village. They buy their own food, hire chefs, and rent dishes. After a wedding banquet, at least half of the wedding gifts are left.
On Saturday afternoon, Zhao Liangsheng went to remind everyone not to forget to go to the tofu shop in the city for a wedding banquet the next day.
After seeing Zhao Liangsheng off, everyone praised him: Zhao Liangsheng is really fastidious, and he even came here to do it again.
Sunday came soon. On this day, the two daughters of Yan Sidong's family came back to their parents' home with their children. Together with the four members of Yan Siliang's family and Yan's father and his wife, this was really a large army, with a group of fifteen people.
Rushing to Xinzhuang Village, Mr. and Mrs. Yan could not walk a long way now. Fortunately, each family of Yan Sidong and Yan Siliang had a bicycle, so it was not troublesome to carry an old man in one car.
There was a happy event at home today, and Zhao Liangsheng and his wife couldn't sleep. After getting up, they tidied up a little. When it was about nine o'clock, Zhao Liangsheng was pushing the car to go to the city first. The cigarettes and alcoholic drinks in the hotel were too expensive. He thought that he
Go to the store and buy it.
Yan Siqin sent Zhao Liangsheng to the door and specifically told him, "Dad, if you want to buy cigarettes, you can buy it from a lucky one. It has a nice name, good luck, and the price is just right. For wine, you can buy it from Lanling or our local one."
Zhao Liangsheng turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, I know all of this. I think our dad and the others will be here soon. You should prepare and come over when they arrive. If you feel tired from walking, you can take the bus at the big roundabout."
It’ll be there in less than ten minutes.”
Yan Siqin nodded, "I know this. Go quickly and don't forget to bring the money."
"Yes." Zhao Liangsheng touched his jacket pocket and said, "I've got it with me. I'm leaving." After saying that, he got on his bike and hurried away.
Yan Siqin counted that his mother-in-law's family was coming soon, so he stood at the door and looked out several times. At ten o'clock, when he saw no one, he felt a little anxious. You must know that it takes more than half an hour to walk from the village to the hotel. Her mother arrived from Xuezhuang.
It's not that close. You have to take a break after walking such a long way.
Zhao Yu didn't know he was anxious, so he was still sitting on the courtyard road leisurely drinking tea. He was so anxious that his heart was burning. Zhao Yu acted as if nothing was wrong. Yan Siqin became furious and said, "Dazhuang, what are you doing sitting there?"
, hurry to the entrance of the village to greet them, see where your grandpa and the others have gone."
There were still two hours before the dinner started at noon. Zhao Yu didn't know why his mother was so anxious at this time. He stood up slowly and said, "Mom, it's still early. Don't be anxious. I'll go out and take a look."
Yan Siqin snorted, "How early is it? What do you know? Go, go, go!"
Zhao Yu seriously suspected that his mother was venting her anger on her little son because he hadn't seen her in the past few days. Yesterday, he heard his mother telling his father that Zhao Chen, a naughty kid, would be like a wild horse if he let it out, and he didn't know the door of his house.
Where did it go?
Zhao Yu put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked leisurely towards the path leading to the outside of the village. As soon as he passed his breeding farm, he saw a large group of people coming in front. The two children running at the front were his cousin's family. Obviously, the children
We were very happy to come to our cousin's house for a wedding banquet. As soon as we entered the village, we started running. The two sisters, Yan Min, were afraid of knocking their children, so they kept chasing after them.
"Grandma, grandpa—" Zhao Yu recognized them all as relatives at a glance. He stretched out his hand, shook it, and trotted towards them.
When Yang Yuhua saw her eldest grandson, she was so happy that she hurriedly patted the seat and said to her youngest son who was pushing him: "Second brother, the big grandson is here. Hurry up."
Yan's father disliked Yan Sidong's slow walking and insisted that he stop the car and walk by himself. Yan Sidong couldn't resist his father, so he had to stop the car and let Yan's father get out.
"Grandpa." Zhao Yu ran forward and first held Yan's arm, then greeted his uncle and aunt, "Uncle, second uncle, concubine, my mother is waiting for you at home."
"You are so strong." Yang Yuhua trembled and wanted to get out of the car. Zhao Yu knew that her grandma's legs and feet were not good, so she hurriedly stopped her, "Grandma, please don't come down. My mother is waiting at home in a hurry. Let's go home first."
.”
"It's all your grandpa's fault." Yang Yuhua glanced at his wife, "I told him to go out early. He went to clean up his affairs. He forgot about this and that, and locked the door. He still had to go home to go to the latrine.
"
Father Yan argued: "There's not even a toilet along the way. What happened to me when I went to the latrine?"
"Look at how civilized you are. Your penis has grown so tall. Where can I not let you go to the toilet?"
Father Yan was unhappy. This old woman didn't know how to save face for herself when she went out. "Humph." The old man snorted and raised his thin chin, "I can still gain weight for my family by going to the toilet at home."
"Nowadays, chemical fertilizers are used in the fields, so who cares about your little fertilizer?"
Seeing that the old couple was choking again, Zhao Yu supported the old man and left, "Grandma, grandpa, hurry up. My mother was anxious just now, so she asked me to come out to greet you."
Knowing that his daughter was anxious, Father Yan stopped arguing with the old lady and started walking hurriedly, holding on to Zhao Yu's hand.
That's what Zhao Yu said. He didn't expect the old man to be so serious. He hurriedly approached the old man secretly and whispered: "Grandpa, I deliberately told my grandma to listen. There's no rush."
"Oh." Father Yan patted the back of Zhao Yu's hand gently and smiled knowingly.
Sister Yan Min chased the children and arrived at Yan Siqin's house first. Yan Siqin was standing at the door and looking around. The two children did not acknowledge Yan Siqin and threw themselves into her arms, shouting: "Auntie, you still have fruits to eat at home."
?"
Dabao and Xiaobao were five and three years old, and it was time to eat. They remembered that this young lady had such a big flower and fruit mountain at home, and there were all kinds of fruits on the mountain.
Looking at the lively and cute big and little babies, Yan Siqin lamented that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, his grandchildren are now so big.
Yan Siqin knelt down, looked at the two children lovingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, my aunt's family has big apples, big pears, and big red dates..."
When they heard that there were so many delicious foods, Dabao and Xiaobao didn't wait for Yan Siqin to finish what he said. They each held one hand and started to walk towards the hill, "Let's go, let's go, aunt, Xiaobao wants to eat Guoguo."
"
"Auntie, Dabao also wants to eat, eat a big apple."
Yan Min and Yan Jing hurriedly picked up Dabao and Xiaobao, "Let's eat first, and then we'll go pick the fruits after dinner."
"That's right." Yan Siqin smiled and took the two children's little hands and said, "My aunt will take you to eat delicious food first, and then take you to pick fruits after eating the delicious food, okay?"
Xiaobao originally wanted to cry and make a fuss. He was like this at home. He would definitely get what he wanted when he cried and made a fuss. But when he heard that there was delicious food, he immediately held back his tears and asked, "What is the delicious food?"
Yan Siqin opened his fingers to check for him, "There are chickens, fish, and meat." As he said, he made a circle the size of a button with his index finger and thumb, "There are also such small quail eggs, all for Dabao and Xiaobao.
eat."
Yes, they are all what he likes to eat. Xiaobao's saliva was about to flow out. He smacked his lips, swallowed the saliva, nodded heavily and said: "Auntie, I want to eat meat."
Dabao said hurriedly: "Auntie, I want to eat big fish and quail eggs."
"Okay, eat them all."
While talking, Father Yan and his party had already arrived, and Zhang Guihua called out, "Third sister."
Yan Siqin heard this and hurriedly went to help his mother in the back seat of the car, "Father, mother, you are here, mother, please slow down, elder brother, second brother, sister-in-law, what time did you go out? You must be exhausted, hurry up and rest in the house.
Later."
Liu Hui took a step forward, held Yang Yuhua's other arm, and said, "I'm not tired. I just walked here like I was playing."
Yang Yuhua still remembered that Zhao Yu said that his mother had been waiting for a long time, so she hurriedly said: "No rest, it's getting late, don't delay things."
Yan Siqin was anxious because her mother-in-law's family hadn't come, so don't delay her. Now that they have arrived, she felt at ease and said with a smile: "It's not late, it's not late. It's not too late to leave at 11 o'clock. Now let's go home and have a cup of tea."
rest."
"It's not too late." Yang Yuhua looked at her eldest grandson and muttered, "Zhao Yu just said that you were impatient."
"No hurry, no hurry." Yan Siqin said, seeing Zhao Chen standing next to him with a silly smile, he said, "Mom, Er Chen hasn't given you any trouble these days."
"Erchen didn't give us any trouble." Yang Yuhua looked at the little grandson lovingly, "This child lives at your second brother's house. His uncle and uncle prepare delicious food for him every meal. A few days ago, he
He and his second and third brothers went to catch fish, and they gave me two as a gift."
Yan Siqin knew that this child had been running into the river frequently. Judging from his little dark face, he must have sunburned in the bath. He nodded gratefully to the two sisters-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I'll save you the trouble."
