Li Weidong picked up Yu Li from Yu's house on his bicycle.
The ‘best men’ were Sha Zhu and two brothers, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian.
Return to the entrance of the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong used a bamboo pole to pick up a firecracker, which crackled for a while.
The children swarmed forward, looking for small cannons that had not exploded among the pieces of smokey cannon paper.
Every time they find one, they will show it off to their friends.
The air is full of joy.
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was not enough, Shazhu took out a handful of Sky Monkeys from his canvas bag.
Hold it in your hand, strike a match and light the fuse.
'Chirp...pop!'
The two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian were enthused: "Uncle Zhuzi, let us also play."
"Go, go, kids, this is what you can play with!"
There are only a dozen flying monkeys, and Silly Pillar himself is not enough to play with.
'Chirp...pop!'
'Chirp...pop!'
...
The noise woke up the Yan family, and Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng put on their clothes and came out.
Yan Jiecheng swallowed: "Dad, I also want the Sky Monkey."
Yan Bugui grimaced: "Wait until Cuihua comes in and ask her to buy it for you."
Yan Bugui was in a bad mood.
He couldn't understand how Liu Haizhong got together with Li Weidong, and he couldn't understand how Li Weidong had money to buy firecrackers.
The two of them were so confused that they turned around and went back to the house.
Yan Jiecheng put on new clothes and went to the Second National Cotton Factory to pick up Cuihua.
...
Looking at Silly Zhu who was having a great time, Li Weidong frowned: "Second uncle, what are these firecrackers?"
He didn't spend even a dime on this wedding banquet. Firecrackers were obviously a luxury item.
"They're all from the government, I'll take care of them first, and then I'll deduct them from everyone's gift money." Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes with excitement.
It feels really good to be an official.
He just needs to draw the tip of his pen and it can be used as money.
Li Weidong gave a thumbs up to his bangs.
As soon as he took office, he realized the true meaning of being an official. He was worthy of being an official fan.
...
With the blessings of everyone, the two returned to the house, and Yu Li started to take care of herself in the mirror.
Today was a big day, she had to dress up beautifully and not embarrass Brother Wei Dong.
Through the mirror, she saw Li Weidong hanging by the bed, taking off his shoes, and frowned in confusion.
"Today is our big day, can you sleep now?"
"There are so many enthusiastic people outside to help, so I just have to be responsible for lying down. Besides, it is precisely because it is a 'big' day that I have to recharge my batteries."
Li Weidong even took off his tunic suit, lay on the bed, and pulled up the quilt to cover him.
Yu Li suddenly understood Li Weidong's 'code word', her face turned red instantly, and she spat fiercely, "Rogue!"
My heart is full of expectations.
...
Yan family.
Yan Jiefang dressed up and rode his bicycle to pick up his new wife.
The Second National Cotton Factory is in the XC area, and it takes more than an hour to get back and forth.
Yan Bugui took the three aunts to start decorating the 'banquet hall'.
As a matchmaker, Jia Zhang came early and was sitting with her legs crossed at the Eight Immortals table eating sweets.
"This old Yan is really stingy. He even refuses to buy milk candies. They are all Cuban candies."
Mrs. Jia Zhang rummaged around on the plate for a while, but couldn't find the toffee. She was so angry that she put all the candies in her pocket.
Yan Bugui saw it clearly from the side, but did not dare to say a word.
Cuihua has not yet married, so the matchmaker cannot offend her.
The 'banquet hall' was decorated, the pots and stoves were set up, Chef Baolizi was already in place, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi were squatting in front of the stove, waiting to light the fire.
Yan Bugui always felt that something was wrong. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it.
It was Third Aunt who reminded him: "Why is no one here to follow the gift?"
Yes, the invitations have been sent out a long time ago, and everyone has promised to come, so why is there no one here?
"Maybe everyone wakes up late on weekends. I'll go door-to-door to urge them."
As soon as Yan Bugui stood up, he saw Shazhu coming in from outside with the two children of the Liu family and seven or eight other residents.
They carried large and small bags on their shoulders.
Yan Bugui rushed forward with a smile: "It's true, you guys. All you have to do is hand over a gift when you come to the banquet. Bringing so much meat and vegetables is so unreasonable."
The third aunt frowned, Si Zhu was not a generous master, something was not right.
Sure enough, the next second I heard Silly Zhu say: "Third uncle, you just want to do good things, this is for Wei Zi's wedding banquet.
Your vegetables are still at the vegetable market, and Mr. Wang, the vegetable buyer, is so anxious that his head is smoking, waiting for you to buy them!"
When Yan Bugui heard this, he panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Shazhu.
"Even the furniture in Li Weidong's house was given by the woman's family. Does he have money to buy meat?"
But he saw that the linen bag was bulging with at least fifty or sixty kilograms of meat.
"You can control it!" Shazhu was not afraid of offending Yan Bugui.
"So, you are all going to attend Li Weidong's wedding banquet?" Yan Bugui also came to his senses at this moment.
"Yeah, in the backyard, the stove is set up."
Silly Zhu was busy working and didn't bother to talk to Yan Bugui, so he bypassed him and went into the backyard.
Yan Bugui squatted down on the chair and covered his forehead: "I'm careless. I have been busy with my own affairs these days and haven't wandered around the backyard. But how can Li Weidong have money to hold a wedding banquet?"
Seeing his decadent look, the third aunt comforted him: "Each two families have their own affairs. We are old residents, and you are still in charge. How can you be afraid of him, Li Weidong?"
"That's right! Go and invite Yi Zhonghai to collect the money. With him controlling the situation, I will make sure that no one eats the food cooked by the Li family!"
"My Healing Game"
Yan Bugui instantly felt confident.
He turned around and told Yan Jiefang: "Raise the fire and let everyone see the true strength of our Yan family."
...
The backyard at this time.
Everyone is busy with Li Weidong's wedding banquet.
"Guangtian, Guangfu, raise the fire."
"Silly Zhu, take your two stupid apprentices and chop the meat quickly."
"Lao Wang, Lao Liu, go and move the stools from each household."
"What? There's no place to put the dishes? Xu Damao, take people to the deaf old lady's house and bring out the cabinet where the certificates are placed. The table is smooth. By the way, bring out all the chairs from the deaf old lady's house too!
"
Liu Haizhong stood on the pile of bricks and commanded condescendingly. He had enough official addiction today.
"Also, the second aunt and He Yuyu went to the door to set up a table and collect money."
"The little wives are all going to pick vegetables."
"Moms, go and bring out the pots, pans, and ladles from every household."
....
In the noisy atmosphere, everyone was also very enthusiastic.
After a while, the whole family can eat. They are not doing it for others, but for themselves.
Although it seemed that something was wrong with Li Weidong lying in the room sleeping, no one said anything.
No one, Li Weidong, agreed to hold a wedding banquet, so now they would definitely have to go to Lao Yan's house to eat carrots and cabbage.
...
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The young sun hangs low on the rows of towers, spreading golden colors all over the world.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two mottled black tables were set up.
Sitting in front of one are Er Aunt and He Yuyu.
Sitting at another table were Yi Zhonghai and the third aunt.
Xu Damao stood in front of the two tables.
Xu Damao also figured it out just now. Liu Haizhong put in so much effort, wasn't it just to show off his face?
There must be people from the steel rolling mill here today, and spreading the word will show that he, the second uncle, has high organizational skills.
If it reaches the ears of leaders, you will have hope of becoming an official!
Liu Haizhong wants to be an official, and I, Xu Damao, also want to be an official.
So Xu Damao handed over his affairs to Lou Xiao'e and ran home to change into a new set of clothes.
Wearing a brand new gray tunic suit and a white shirt, he spat twice and stuck it in his hair.
It's so smooth that even if a fly lands on it, it will fall over eighteen times.
