The day after tomorrow is the day for the wedding banquet.
Ding Qiunan needs to go home to prepare, and Li Donglai also needs to inform the guests one by one.
The two parted reluctantly under the big locust tree in the courtyard.
Return to the house.
Li Donglai suddenly discovered that Li Xiaomei had come back and was sitting at the table doing homework.
Seeing Li Donglai, Li Xiaomei immediately rushed towards him, hung her arms around his neck, and gave him a monkey hug.
"Brother, it's true that you haven't picked me up for several days."
Although the uncles and aunts of the Ding family treated her like their own daughter.
He is very enthusiastic and even eats a salt water popsicle every day.
Li Xiaomei still misses home.
However, this hateful brother seemed to have forgotten that he had a sister like her.
Well, that's so hateful.
Li Xiaomei had already planned to wait for Li Donglai to come back, ignore him, and let him face the wall and reflect.
But when she saw Li Donglai, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared instantly.
Li Donglai also felt that he seemed to be a little too much. He was speechless and could only look around.
"I'm not busy planning the wedding banquet.
Also, Uncle Ding is a university professor and will be your tutor. What a great honor this is.
Others can’t be invited even if they want to be invited!”
"That's true. Uncle Ding teaches much better than Teacher Ran. He knows so much. He even knows why airplanes can fly into the sky."
Li Xiaomei was hanging on Li Donglai's neck, swaying back and forth like a naughty little monkey, her mouth was full of tears.
"I have already thought about it. When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. I will specialize in developing fighter jets so that the bad guys will not dare to bully us."
"Wow, you future female scientist, why are you still acting like a monkey?" Li Donglai laughed playfully and stretched out his hand to scratch Li Xiaomei's creaky nest.
"Giggle, geek, bad, geez, brother, please stop scratching me. I'll tell my sister-in-law later and I'll tell you that you bullied me!"
Li Xiaomei couldn't help itching, so she let go of her arms and squatted on the ground.
The two brothers and sisters, who had not seen each other for many days, regained their former intimacy after a while of playing.
Li Xiaomei also started to help Li Donglai organize the wedding banquet.
Xu Huizhen will serve the dishes and drinks for the banquet, so Li Dong doesn't need to worry about it.
He only needs to draw up the guest list and seating positions.
China is a country of etiquette, and people's requirements for etiquette are almost harsh.
Marriage, a major occasion in life, is also a key place for social interaction.
It would be embarrassing if you accidentally forget the guests you should invite.
In his previous life, a friend of Li Donglai accidentally forgot to invite his uncle when he got married.
And his parents were also very arrogant, thinking that he was his biological uncle, how could he forget it.
As a result... on the day of the wedding banquet, when his uncle came to the hotel with his entire family, he found that he was not on the wedding banquet list.
Suddenly he was furious, his face was ashen, and he was furious.
The friend who was helping to welcome the guests was so frightened that he shivered.
Fortunately, his uncle was concerned about his sister's face, and fortunately, with the persuasion of his parents and other relatives, he was able to control his anger.
He had a hasty meal, and when the bride poured wine, he took the wine glass and drank it down, took out the money for the wine, put it on the tray, and left with the whole family.
Just when my friends thought everything was fine and they had weathered the storm safely, they returned home and were preparing for a night of spring supper worth a thousand dollars.
But the door was kicked open by his father. It turned out that his uncle called and wanted to break up with his family.
"Broken ties", as the name suggests, means that relatives have ceased contact with each other. From then on, the roads turn upside down and everyone goes their separate ways.
This is a very embarrassing thing in China, especially when it is one's own uncle who proposes to break off the relationship.
When relatives and friends find out, they will poke the bones of his family and scold them for being ignorant.
the next day.
My friend had to bring his new daughter-in-law to the house to apologize and was scolded before he was forgiven by his uncle's family.
That was in the previous life, when everyone no longer paid much attention to old principles, so they ended it so easily.
If in this era, if you dare not leave a place for your uncle, that friend will probably have his legs broken.
Therefore, when drawing up the list, everyone should be included.
Li Donglai held his breath and began to carefully draw up the list.
There are many villagers in Qinjiagou, but considering the inconvenience of travel, roads are needed to enter the capital.
The head of Qin Sanmin Village has already stated that he will attend on behalf of the Qinjiagou villagers.
Director Yang, Director Jiao, Section Chief Zhou Dao, colleagues from the medical department, Nurse Xiaofang, Doctor Hu, Doctor Zhang... a total of twenty-one people from the hospital.
By the way, there is also Bald Wang. When this guy went to the pigeon market to buy meat last time, he also clamored to attend the wedding banquet.
Gu Shen at the food station is also indispensable, and Li Donglai is still thinking about his mysterious gift.
Wang Wuye has a sensitive status and may not attend, but he must be prepared.
The rest are the neighbors in the courtyard.
The first is Yan Bugui.
Now this old boy has a prosperous waste collection business, and he relies on Li Donglai to help him connect the dots behind the scenes.
No matter how shrewd his calculation is, he will not be reluctant to give up the gift money.
However, Li Donglai preferred Yan Bugui not to participate, because he would definitely bring a large family with him.
Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, plus Auntie, the gift money is not enough for food.
But for this kind of thing, people are willing to come because they think highly of you. No matter how many people you bring, you can't refuse.
After writing the six members of the Yan family, Li Donglai wrote Xu Damao's name.
This guy is making progress lately.
Even though he practiced ventriloquism, he was so skinny that he looked like a ghost or a ghost.
When he meets such a factory leader, he will definitely not miss any occasion he attends.
Then there is Yi Zhonghai.
As the master of the courtyard, in order to show his solidarity with the residents, he should also be present.
Also, Li Donglai has always felt that the way Yi Zhonghai looked at him was a bit strange recently, vaguely revealing an unexplainable expectation.
What do I have to look forward to!
The only ones left are a few familiar neighbors.
For example, Liu Gangzhu's family, Wang Ermazi from the backyard, Zhou Welder, etc., there are more than 20 people in total.
As for the Jia family, Li Donglai would never invite them.
Of course, Qin Huairu will not come either.
The two of them had that kind of relationship, and once Qin Huairu went there, wouldn't it be equivalent to attending her ex-boyfriend's wedding banquet.
besides.
He personally sent Jia and Zhang to Baolizi.
Jia Xudong probably wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. How could he spend money to attend the wedding banquet?
Finally, there are Ran Qiuye and He Yuyu.
Both of them are teachers in tutoring classes, so they naturally want to participate.
Gifts are also essential. At the worst, give them a bonus before the wedding banquet.
As for Silly Zhu, Li Donglai doesn't intend to invite him. If he wants to come, he can't drive him away. He still has to leave a place.
After writing the list, Li Donglai counted it and found that there were 102 guests in total.
Of course, the number of people here is only the number of adults, and children are not included in the calculation at all.
In this era when supplies are scarce, there is no way for children to occupy seats.
When eating noodles, they just need to stand next to the adults.
After the number of people was determined, Li Donglai checked it carefully again. After making sure that nothing was missing, he began to make plans for attending the wedding banquet.
Seating at a wedding banquet is a big issue related to tradition and the face of the guests.
So who to arrange and where to sit is extremely important.
Once arranged improperly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Li Donglai looked at the names on the list and frowned.
