Now that you have decided to hold a wedding banquet, you have to go through the traditional rules.
In the afternoon, Li Weidong took Yu Li to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought an enamel basin, a spittoon, and a thermos.
They are all bright red with the word "happy" on them.
I pulled out two more quilt covers, bright red satin covers with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Red and green, it looks old-fashioned, but it is a fifteen-color brocade quilt produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Before liberation, only landlords and wealthy people could use it.
We working people have become the masters of our own country!
These objects, together with the double bed in the room, constitute all the elements of the "Four One Project".
For most people, these are enough for a wife to marry.
However, considering that the Yu family is a 'rich' person, Li Weidong bought two more pounds of Cuban sugar.
Returning to the courtyard, Yu Li and her family visited every house to deliver wedding candies.
"Brother Wang, this is my wife Yu Li, please bring some wedding candy."
"Master, mother, let's eat some wedding candy and wish you a baby soon."
...
Even the Yan family didn't pass by.
If you want to hold a wedding banquet, you should bring gifts to your door and don't let others pick on you.
"Third uncle, third aunt, Xie Cheng, do you know each other? My wife, Yu Li."
"..."
"..."
"...."
The three of them were silent at the same time, their expressions looking as ugly as possible.
In the end, Yan Jiedi ran forward and broke the deadlock, saying: "Brother Wei Dong, sister Yu Li, I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
"Hey, sister Jie Di is still sensible." Li Weidong rubbed Yan Jie Di's hair.
He took out a large handful of candies from his pocket and put them into Yan Jiedi's hand.
Yan Jiedi's eyes curved into a crescent moon.
After the two left, Yan Bugui became angry, glared at Yan Jiedi and said, "Don't call me Sister Yu Li from now on. Our family has nothing to do with them from now on!"
Yan Jiecheng also said that Yan Jiedi was wrong. Yan Jiedi was not so enthusiastic when Cuihua came to the house yesterday.
Only the third aunt did not blame Yan Jiedi: "I can't blame Wei Dong for what happened to Yu Li. If I don't see you when I look up, I don't need to be an enemy."
"Mom, you are so right. Sister Yu Li is such a good person!"
Yan Jiedi made a face at Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, carefully peeled off a Cuban candy and stuffed it into the third aunt's mouth.
"It's still my daughter and my mother."
...
the other side.
Li Weidong took Yu Li to the last home - the second uncle Liu Haizhong's home.
Liu Haizhong is sitting at the table writing and drawing.
The little chubby hand held the pen tightly, and every time he wrote a word, his face was filled with pride.
Seeing the two people coming in, he stood up and said hello: "Weidong, Yu Li, you are here just in time. I am planning this wedding banquet and would like to hear your opinions."
"Why are you so anxious? I didn't see that the children are here to send wedding candies." The second aunt glared at him and served two cups of hot tea.
"Weidong, you grew up under the watch of your aunt. There were originally five brothers in your generation. Before liberation, four of them were arrested and later disappeared. When it comes to your generation, you are the only one.
"After you get married, you should hurry up and have a few more children, so as to expand the branches and leaves of Lao Li's family." The third aunt took the wedding candy and warned her with a smile.
"Don't worry, Yu Li and I have agreed that we will never stop working until we have ten or eight children after we get married." Li Weidong smiled playfully.
"Who gave you the advice? If you give birth to seven or eight, then you won't be a sow?" Yu Li blushed and gently twisted her little hand on Li Weidong's waist.
"Hey, isn't this responding to the country's call?" Li Weidong giggled.
Seeing the loving look of the young couple, the second aunt felt a sigh of relief in her heart. The old Yan family was really guilty.
"By the way, have you bought quilt covers?"
"I bought it, there are two of them!" Yu Li said.
"Auntie will sew your quilt cover later."
"Sorry to trouble you."
...
"Old lady, you can talk about it later, I'm waiting to discuss important matters with Wei Dong!"
The second uncle next to me was impatient and started to chase the second aunt.
The second aunt knew what he was thinking, so she gave a few instructions and turned around and entered the back room.
"Look, this is what I think. We don't have a rule here about accepting gift money first. If your family is poor, I'll pay it first. When the time comes, you can just draw it back to me after you receive the gift money." The second uncle handed out a piece of manuscript.
come over.
Li Weidong took the order and looked at it carefully.
Good guy, one, two, three, four, five...seven, eight, ninety, a total of ten rules about the wedding banquet.
From receiving gift money to seating arrangements, the writing is very detailed.
The second uncle tried his best to stand out.
It's just that this word is really not very good, it's almost like an earthworm crawling.
When Jia Zhang takes it, it can be used as a charm to summon Lao Jia.
"Very good, these are all very good, but I think He Yuyu should do the job of collecting the gift money, and you should bring a fool with you when making purchases." Li Weidong had a thick smile on his face, but his tone was very firm,
"Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't believe you.
For you, I have a hundred peace of mind.
The point is that our compound is full of talkative people, and you have done a great thing.
It would be inappropriate to be discussed by others because of things related to the accounts."
"...Yes, after all, he is a person who can be a driver. He just thinks carefully. It can be cheaper if Silly Zhu follows him to buy groceries."
The second uncle had no intention of extracting money from it. Hearing these words, he immediately said gratefully.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Weidong took Yu Li and prepared to go back to the house.
When he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "Where are Guangtian and Guangfu?"
The second uncle was stunned for a moment and said sarcastically: "He and they don't know where they went to the wild."
Li Weidong clearly heard Liu Guangtian's moaning in the room, but he didn't reveal it.
It is appropriate for me to beat my son if he does not support me in old age.
Return to the house.
As soon as the quilt was spread out, the second aunt came with a group of aunts and young wives.
Yu Li was a careful person, so she noticed that these people all had children, and then she let them into the house and poured tea.
Everyone was wearing quilts and laughing, and the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The adults were sitting on the bed and busy working, while the children were playing on the floor. For a while, there was no place to plug a pin in the room.
Like a qualified hostess, Yu Li sat by the bed and chatted with her aunt and daughter-in-law.
Li Weidong, a big man, felt a little embarrassed standing nearby. He said hello and walked towards the Silly Pillar House.
Zhang Dongfang is going to be a guest in the evening, and Sha Zhu needs help with the wine and cooking.
Zhang Dongfang is a famous wine putty.
In the memory of the original owner, Zhang Dongfang could drink a pound of liquor at a time, which was still high-altitude.
It's not that Li Weidong can't drink, it's mainly because he thinks drinking too much of that stuff will hurt his health.
As soon as I reached the middle courtyard, I saw Mrs. Jia Zhang walking quickly towards this side with a needle and thread.
That chubby little face was filled with the unique joy of 'taking advantage'.
"Aunt Jia, what are you doing?" Li Weidong stopped.
"I'm sewing quilts for your family. Didn't Second Aunt call a lot of people to come?" Jia Zhang said confidently.
She heard that Li Weidong’s family bought a lot of Cuban candy and left it outside for those quilting people to eat at will.
She was also greedy.
Li Weidong laughed angrily at her arrogance and said: "No, no, you are also an old man in our compound. You should know the rules of sex, right?"
"I know, you need to sew in a straight line, without knotting the thread, and you can't backstitch. A quilt has to be sewn eight times, and you can't change the thread at the end of a quilt. I used to sew quilts for other people's homes. Our son Liu from the compound
My marriage is the quilt I sewed." Jia Zhang raised the corners of her mouth and said proudly.
Li Weidong frowned, it seemed that Jia Zhang was really pretending to be confused.
"That was before. You used to be able to sew quilts, but now you can't!"
"You...you are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, but you don't know a good heart!" Jia Zhang was seen through, stamped her feet angrily, turned around and ran away.
You idiot, you are not even a living person, yet you dare to sew a quilt!
