The wedding banquet was noisy in the afternoon. With Zhang Dongfang helping to stop the drinking, Li Weidong was not drunk.
Before the wedding banquet ended, Li Weidong and Yu Li had to toast to the elders in the courtyard one by one according to the old rules.
The first person I want to respect is the deaf old lady.
....
It was bustling outside, and the young couple was pouring wine trays inside.
The deaf old lady was too old to drink, so Yu Li poured a plate of boiling water.
Yu Li poured the wine plate and brought it to Li Weidong and said: "I'm a little curious. People in the compound say that the deaf old lady is very nice. Why are you so lukewarm to her?"
She remembered very clearly that a while ago, she gave wedding candy to a deaf old lady, but her man just stood at the door for a short while and left without a word.
Li Weidong smiled and said: "How can there be? I respect her very much and treat her as an ancestor."
Yu Li smiled and said: "You can't hide it from me, the most you can do is treat her like an ordinary old lady next door.
I heard Si Zhu say that when you were a child, you often went to the deaf old lady’s house with you.
What happened next? I really don’t understand... Uh... I won’t ask, I know you must have your own reasons for doing things."
"It's better not to understand. If you don't know some things, you'll feel better."
When I was a child, my father drove a sports car and was often away from home.
Li Weidong, Silly Zhu, and He Yuyu often played at the deaf old lady's house and listened to her tell stories about pre-liberation times.
At that time, Li Weidong thought the deaf old lady was a kind grandmother and respected her very much.
Later, something happened that Li Weidong will remember for the rest of his life.
Once, he and He Yuyu went to the house of an old deaf lady.
The deaf old lady had just finished her meal. She hid the remaining half bowl of noodles for fear that Li Weidong and He Yuyu would eat them.
Li Weidong felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, he really respected the deaf old lady as his own grandmother. After his salary was paid, he often bought things for the deaf old lady.
Sometimes it’s two pounds of eggs, sometimes it’s one pound of cake, sometimes it’s soy sauce and vinegar.
But he never expected that neither he nor He Yuyu would be able to enter the house tonight. They were hungry and wanted to find a steamed bun to fill their stomachs, but the deaf old lady actually hid half a bowl of noodles.
At that time, Li Weidong's view of the deaf old lady changed.
People give you so many things that you can’t even bear to part with a bowl of leftover noodles!
His monthly salary at that time was 16.5, was he someone who couldn't afford noodles?
After traveling through time, Li Weidong knew that the deaf old lady was a shrewd old lady, and she was also biased.
She only has Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu in her eyes.
To other people in the courtyard, she often pretended to be deaf and dumb, and used her power to bully others and act like a fool.
What's even more outrageous is that in order to give stupid Zhu a queen, the deaf old lady tricked the stupidest woman in the courtyard.
Of course, the reason why the deaf old lady tricked Lou Xiao'e also had her shrewd calculation.
She knew that the Lou family was rich and that Si Zhu might have difficulty providing for her and Yi Zhonghai in the future. After Si Zhu and Lou Xiaoe got along, he would naturally have money to provide for them in their old age.
The subsequent development of the plot was just as the deaf old lady expected. Lou Xiaoe, a silly elder sister, used her own money to support a large group of enemies, and in the end the courtyard fell into the hands of the gang.
The third uncle, who has always been known for his shrewdness, is far inferior to the deaf old lady.
Li Weidong saw these things clearly after traveling through time.
Therefore, I have no favorable impression of the deaf old lady, let alone respect.
She is just an ordinary neighbor.
If the deaf old lady doesn't look for trouble, then let's not offend her.
If you want to find fault, I'm sorry, but the brakes on our big truck are not very good.
...
Seeing that Li Weidong didn't want to say more, Yu Li stopped asking. She picked up the tray and went outside to toast the deaf old lady.
Offering both hands: "Old lady, I, Yu Li, would like to thank you for coming to my wedding with Brother Wei Dong. Since you are old, can you have tea instead of wine?"
Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady glanced at Li Weidong blankly, then reached out and picked up a glass of white wine.
"呲熘", drink it all in one gulp.
The action was heroic, but the result was not very good.
After all, it was because of my old age and the decline of my body functions that the liquor with more than 60 degrees of alcohol entered my intestines and stomach, and it immediately felt like a fire.
"Cough...cough cough..."
The deaf old lady started coughing with a red face, which frightened Yi Zhonghai who was next to her, put down her kuaizi, ran over and patted her on the back.
"Old lady, you don't usually drink. What happened today?"
It took a long time for the deaf old lady to recover. She pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly: "I, I'm happy..."
In fact, she was angry.
The deaf old lady maintained her high status, and she had long since stopped attending the banquet hosted by everyone in the courtyard.
Li Weidong is not a fool, so of course she is not going to participate.
Who would have thought that Liu Haizhong was so out of place that while the deaf old lady was sleeping, she moved all the tables, chairs, pots and pans out of her house.
The deaf old lady woke up and looked at the empty room. She was stunned for a long time before she thought of a big problem.
How does she eat at noon?
Yi Zhonghai, Aunt Ma, and Shazhu were all eating at the table, and they didn't care about her at all.
There was no other way, so the deaf old lady could only pay one yuan and twenty cents as a gift.
How many food stamps did she have to sell to save so much money?
So, she is angry!
What's even more annoying is that Li Weidong didn't know this and just thought that the deaf old lady was a little greedy for wine.
He said smoothly: "You are the same, Mr. First. You serve Erhe noodles to the old lady all day long. Seeing how greedy the old lady is, she should ask Mr. Second to help her cook next time."
Yi Zhonghai was a little confused. He really thought that the deaf old lady was greedy for wine. After all, the deaf old lady used to be the eldest lady.
"Old lady, I'll buy you a bottle of good wine tonight."
Deaf old lady: "...."
Well, if you have an extended banquet and lose half your life, there will be no one left.
Oops, I can't help it anymore, my heart hurts again.
....
After the toast, the banquet dispersed, and Liu Haizhong, who took over the command again, began to distribute the leftovers to each household.
"Second uncle, I have many children, please give me more meat."
"Third Aunt, you have more children than I have. With your ideological consciousness, how can we do the work in our compound?"
....
The neighbors who were so harmonious and working together just now may be stirred up over a piece of fat meat.
After dividing the dishes, the neighbors began to move pots, pots, tables, chairs and chairs home.
Liu Haizhong and He Yuyu came over with the list.
"Weidong, this is the account of this wedding banquet. We collected a total of 51.6 yuan and spent 35 yuan. After throwing away the expenses of buying red paper, wedding candies, firecrackers and other miscellaneous items, we still have 11 yuan and 30 cents left.
What should we do with this money?”
Li Weidong took the bill and looked at it carefully for a while.
The records are clearly divided into categories, and there are signatures of Liu Haizhong and He Yuyu at the end.
"The excess money will be refunded to the residents."
".....I think so."
Liu Haizhong could only put his petty thoughts away.
Start refunding money door to door.
...
The sun sets in the west and the sky becomes dark.
Shazhu, Yan Jiecheng, and the two brothers from the Liu family all came to the Li family together with a bare pole in the courtyard.
By the way, there is the cunning Xu Damao at the end.
Why?
Making trouble in the bridal chamber!
These days, there is no UC browser, no red rose, and no KTV. Young people are all looking forward to the wedding show to make them happy.
On normal days, men and women would be called hooligans even if they even said a word to each other, but when they were having sex in the wedding ceremony, they could touch them with their hands.
It's a little better in the capital, as young people keep some on hand.
In some remote mountain villages, it is not uncommon for new wives to be stripped naked and groped around.
What's more, the first child born to a new daughter-in-law looks nothing like her husband.
....
After performing several harmonious mini-games such as chewing an apple, eating a hot pear, tapping a secret code, threading a needle, etc.
Si Zhu, Yan Jiecheng, and the two brothers from the Liu family started to make a fuss.
