At noon on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Sankui came back with large and small bags.
Tian Shao had already told him the date of the banquet. Logically speaking, Sankui should have been back long ago, but he arrived later than her. There was obviously something wrong here: "What happened to take you so long?"
Sankui didn't dare to hide it from Tian Shao, and said: "A batch of our goods was robbed on the way. I don't worry about leaving it to others. I personally led people to find the goods."
"There are no casualties, right?"
Sankui shook his head and said: "No. Let's find out the details of these people first, then go to the district to report the crime, and wipe out their nest in one fell swoop. One brother was slightly injured, but the others are fine."
After hearing that there were no casualties, Tian Shao stopped asking any more questions.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Xinghua and Zhou Sihui arrived at Tianjia Village. His appearance immediately caused a sensation, not only because he was wearing a military uniform, but more importantly, he had the same face as Tan Yue.
When Li Guihua saw Tan Xinghua, she was amazed and said to Bai Churong: "No wonder you were able to identify Xiao Yue so quickly. These two brothers were printed from the same mold."
Just by looking at each other, one would suspect that they are brothers. Of course, the two of them are not the same age, otherwise people would still suspect that they are father and son.
Tian Shao felt that what she said was too exaggerated and said: "Mom, my second brother looks very similar to Tan Yue, but it is too exaggerated to look like they are printed from the same mold."
Although Tan Xinghua and Tan Yue look similar, their temperaments are completely different. Their temperaments are different, and they look very different.
Seeing that Tian Shao was causing trouble, Li Guihua immediately changed the subject and welcomed the people into the house. In order to facilitate the reception of the guests, Erya, Nie Suozhu, Sanya and others all arranged to live in the old house.
After Damei moved into the old house, Uncle Li hired experienced craftsmen in the village to renovate the house. And Damei was a hard-working person, so she cleaned all four houses, and Erya and the others took them with them.
Just pass the quilt over.
After talking for a while, Tian Shao saw Zhou Sihui looking tired and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, if you are tired, go back to the house and rest first."
Zhou Sihui shook her head and said she was fine.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, we are a family, there is no need to be so polite. When you are tired, go in and rest. When you are well rested, we can talk slowly."
Tan Xinghua saw that his wife was indeed tired and said, "I'm a little tired after riding in the car for so long. Xiaoshao, where is the room? Let's go back to the house and take a nap first."
After the couple returned to the house, Tan Yue and Tian Shao brought hot water and a basin and entered their house. Tian Shao smiled and said: "Second brother, I'm sorry, our house is relatively simple. If the hospitality is not good, I will return it."
Please excuse me."
Tan Xinghua laughed and scolded: "Your place is still crude? Then the northwest is a barren land. Let me tell you..."
Seeing that he was about to talk about the northwest, it would be difficult to stop. Zhou Sihui immediately interrupted: "Lao San, Xiao Shao, you must have a lot to do at the wedding banquet tomorrow. We have nothing to do, let's take a rest.
That’s fine, you can go and do your own business!”
The two of them agreed that there was a lot to do, nodded and went out.
Zhou Sihui twisted the towel and gave it to Tan Xinghua and said, "Wash your face and go to bed quickly. You are exhausted."
Originally, he booked a train, took a sleeper berth to the district, and then transferred to Tianjia Village. Unexpectedly, Tan Xinghua had something to do and was unable to catch the train. But Tan Xinghua promised that Tan Yue would come to attend the wedding, so he went directly
Let the driver drive here. It is impossible for the driver to drive alone on such a long distance, so Tan Xinghua and the driver switched places.
Tan Xinghua washed his face and said: "Why are you tired? I'm energetic! You can rest, I'll go find Min Xing and Min Juan. We can't leave Sijiu City and just run wild."
Zhou Sihui was helpless and said: "Don't wait for a while, and there is still a sister-in-law! You should lie down and take a rest. Tomorrow is the wedding banquet of the third child, and you represent the Tan family! If you are not in a good mental state, then
I’ll lose the face of my third son.”
These words pinched Tan Xinghua's weakness. He washed his face and went to bed. He originally thought that he fell asleep in the car but now he couldn't fall asleep, but he fell asleep without wanting to touch the bed.
Seeing him snoring, Zhou Sihui covered him with a quilt and walked out.
When Bai Churong saw her, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you take a good rest in the room."
Zhou Sihui shook her head and said: "I slept in the car all the way, so I'm not tired. But Xinghua, who was really tired after following the driver, has fallen asleep in the house now."
Bai Churong knew there was an emergency as soon as she heard it, and she was already used to it.
After the two entered the room, Zhou Sihui said with a smile: "When we came here during the summer vacation, there were not so many people. This time, the courtyard and the house are full of people. It's so lively."
Bai Churong couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said: "Last time we came to ask for a wedding date, this time it's a wedding banquet, so it's naturally different. Today are all people working, and tomorrow it will be lively when relatives and friends come.
"
When talking about this, Zhou Sihui asked: "How many tables can we serve?"
Bai Churong asked about this: "It was said that we would have twenty tables, but in fact we had prepared twenty-five tables. This way, if more people come, we won't have to worry about having no food to eat when the guests arrive."
Zhou Sihui asked very puzzledly: "This list has been drawn up, why do we need to prepare more?"
Even if you are worried about too many people coming, just prepare one more table. Wouldn't it be a waste to prepare five more tables if no one comes. At this moment, Zhou Sihui felt that Tian Shao had no success.
Bai Churong smiled and said, "Be prepared and be prepared!"
She felt that Tian Shao's approach was right, and more tables should be prepared for this banquet. If there are not many people coming, the cold food can be saved for dinner at night; but if there are many people coming and there is no food, then
She had lost the face of her master. She told Zhou Sihui that she had to figure out some things on her own. Of course, if her daughter-in-law could teach her, then forget about her sister-in-law.
Zhou Sihui didn't dwell on the matter. She asked another concerned question: "Sister-in-law, Xinghua said that we are going back to Sijiu City to celebrate the New Year this year. Can we just leave after the wedding banquet tomorrow?"
Tian Shao and Tan Yue were having their wedding banquet tomorrow, and she felt it would be a bad idea to leave after leaving the bowl after eating. But if she didn't leave tomorrow afternoon, she wouldn't leave until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and she would have to drive back home on New Year's Eve.
Bai Churong smiled and said: "We are lucky. There happens to be a plane back to Sijiu City on the 29th. Then we can just take the plane back."
Zhou Sihui was surprised and happy when she heard this: "Flying on a plane, is it true?"
She had seen airplanes but had never been on one. Being able to take a plane back this time was a new experience. Besides, she was relieved that she didn’t have to take a car back. She had been feeling pain in the car these past few days.
.
Seeing her happy expression, Bai Churong felt that she was still too young. If it weren't for rushing back to celebrate the New Year, she would rather take the train than take the plane. This plane ride is really not a good experience.
