Silly Zhu sat on the chair, leaning back tactically, his face sometimes smiling, sometimes wrinkled, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
After the last incident, although a restaurant was under supervision, as the most popular restaurant, the chefs really didn't take the director seriously.
The director of the second restaurant also knows the status of the first restaurant. The uncle there is not good. He only comes here every now and then and doesn't interfere with things.
This has benefited Silly Zhu. Now no one cares about him in the kitchen, and his assistant cooks are led by him, which makes him quite passionate about guiding the country.
The success at work has not brought about changes in life. Yang Xiaotao is getting engaged this weekend.
Although the two have been a couple for a long time, they are not yet married in name.
But now.
He is the only one who is almost the same age.
It made Silly Zhu feel that he really couldn't wait any longer.
While waiting, the children were bullied when they came out.
If you wait any longer, my sister will get married.
"Damn it, I'll go find Third Aunt tomorrow!"
In the front yard, Yan Fugui had just finished a family meeting, and the topic was Yang Xiaotao's marriage.
Through everyone’s active speeches, Yan Fugui finally summarized the following three aspects.
The first step is to welcome the bride. The three aunts come forward, and the two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi are responsible for asking for wedding candies. The minimum standard is two yuan per person.
Second, registration. Yan Fugui is responsible for it. Based on Yang Xiaotao’s net worth, the standard of five yuan has been tentatively set.
Third, the banquet. This is Datou. A family of seven has to sit at a table in pairs, and the tasks are arranged. Who brings the meat, who brings the vegetables, who brings the steamed buns...
The division of labor is clear, and even Yu Li, who has just entered the family, has to admire her father-in-law's calculations. Once you master this skill, it will not be difficult to earn a family fortune.
Finally, Yan Fugui concluded.
"In the next period of time, I will get closer to Yang Xiaotao, build a relationship, and become one of my own."
“Only in this way can we execute the plan as planned.”
bang bang bang
Applause erupted from the house in the front yard, and the neighbors were not surprised.
The meetings at these three uncles' houses are being held more and more frequently.
In the backyard, Liu Haizhong was also troubled. There were many positions vacant in the factory, and it was a good time for him to show off his talents. However, no one appreciated him, making everything he did was in vain.
He also thought about recommending himself, but faced several leaders of the steel rolling mill, he did not have the confidence to say so.
There used to be Deputy Factory Manager Li, who could get things done with just a little money.
But now, if he dares to send money to Xu Yuanshan, he will be arrested by the security department in the next second.
So Liu Haizhong set his target on Yang Xiaotao.
This guy is a popular person in front of the leaders, especially if the things he did were to be transferred to him, he would have to be replaced by another director.
If Yang Xiaotao can say a few words for himself, then his official career should go smoothly.
Liu Haizhong was thinking secretly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Will Yang Xiaotao accept his kindness?
The next day, at dawn, Yang Xiaotao got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and washed his hair. Then he found new clothes and dressed himself up carefully, which made him feel energetic.
After breakfast, I got ready to go to Ran's house.
Meat and fish were hung on the bicycle, and there was a bag of fine grains and a bag of rice on the back seat.
In addition, Yang Dazhuang also carried sixty-six yuan in his arms, which was the gift money prepared by Yang Xiaotao. Aunt Wang also dressed up and came to Yang Xiaotao's house, carrying two bottles of wine in her hand.
Uncle Chen and his wife were on the side giving instructions on what to pay attention to, be sweet in your mouth, ask people when you see them, pick up cigarettes, bring tea and water...
After some explanations, Aunt Wang and his wife arrived.
The two of them each carried a bamboo tower with a big white goose inside. They didn't buy this thing, they borrowed it from the alley.
You can't eat it, just treat it as something pretty, and you have to return it when you're done.
In this way, the meat, fish, wine, rice and noodles were all ready, the money was also prepared, and there were even swans that represented a beautiful meaning. Everything was done, and everyone set off towards the Ran family.
In the courtyard, people who got up early looked over one after another. They all knew why Yang Xiaotao was there. They were shocked to see so many things.
That piece of pork costs at least five kilograms.
Two big fish weigh at least ten kilograms.
There are also rice, noodles, and wine, and this kind of betrothal gift is also indispensable.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's triumphant appearance and exquisitely dressed, many people made up their minds to have a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao in the future.
Of course, there are not many people who are unhappy after eating something wrong.
Yang Xiaotao greeted the people in the courtyard, and the group left the courtyard happily.
Everyone in the alley greeted Yang Xiaotao, and there was an endless stream of congratulations.
Yang Xiaotao also responded with a smile.
Today is a good day.
Autumn is crisp and clear, with no clouds in the sky.
The sun is warm and charming.
Yang Xiaotao and his group walked to the yard where Ran's family was located.
The entire courtyard was cleaned very clean, and everyone in the courtyard had received the news and was waiting in the courtyard.
When Yang Xiaotao and others arrived, everyone in the courtyard smiled, and many people gathered around.
Yang Dazhuang and Uncle Li took out their cigarettes and spread them in a circle. The smoke filled the yard and filled the yard with laughter.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang made the children happy with candies, and then a few people came to the door of Ran's house.
At the door of Ran's house, Ran Hongbing and Ran Xinrui were waiting at the door early in the morning. Today is a good day for their eldest sister. Their task is to welcome their brother-in-law and guests.
From a distance, they saw their brother-in-law leading people over and handing out a lot of candies to the children in the courtyard. The two siblings bit their fingers.
At this moment, my brother-in-law finally came over, and the two children hurriedly ran to him.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Auntie! Hello uncle!"
The two children called for help according to their mother's instructions, and Yang Xiaotao and others responded.
In the house, Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye were greeting the uncle and acquaintances in the courtyard, and came out quickly when they heard the noise.
Ran Qiuye wore a red sweater, with two braids on her head tied with red threads. Her face was clean and smelled of cream.
"Aunt, Qiuye!"
Yang Xiaotao was the first to speak, "This is my uncle, this is Uncle Li..."
Ran's mother smiled and nodded, seeing them one by one, and welcomed everyone into the house.
Yang Dazhuang walked in the door first as a family member of Yang Xiaotao.
"Hello, Xiaotao's family left early. I am the head of Yangjiazhuangdu Village and Xiaotao's elder! Here, on behalf of the Yang family, I send you a betrothal gift and ask to marry your noble daughter!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As he said that, he showed the money, and everyone in the backyard could see it clearly.
Sixty-six!
What a moral, so rich!
Yang Dazhuang respectfully handed the money to Ran's mother.
This is the most important form. If the other party is not satisfied, then you have to add more.
It’s also about the man’s face.
Ran's mother did not refuse and took the money with a serious face, which made Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang breathe a sigh of relief.
Once both parties have finished sending and receiving the bride price, the marriage is considered a success.
Yang Dazhuang smiled, finally living up to expectations.
Later, Aunt Wang and Uncle Li came forward and put a pair of big white geese into the house, and Ran's mother took them and placed them in a conspicuous place.
Yang Dazhuang walked in carrying noodles and rice, and someone walked out of the room and quickly caught him.
Then Aunt Wang came in with wine, and Ran Qiuye stepped forward to entertain her.
Finally, Yang Xiaotao walked into the house carrying the fish in his left hand and the meat in his right hand.
After everything was properly placed, Ran Qiuye stood next to Yang Xiaotao and began to introduce the people in the room.
"This is Uncle Wang of our courtyard,..."
"Uncle! Auntie!"
"This is my teacher at Normal College, Teacher Fan!"
Finally, Ran Qiuye introduced a middle-aged man with gray hair and glasses.
"Hello, Teacher Fan!"
"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"
The two shook hands, "I heard Qiuye talking about you, a young and promising good comrade. Bless you!"
"Thank you, thank you for your blessing."
Everyone was in harmony and sat down in order.
Ran's mother began to prepare the banquet, and everyone got to know each other.
Yang Xiaotao diligently poured tea and water for everyone. Ran Qiuye and Aunt Wang helped with the cooking. People kept coming in to talk, saying a few words and then leaving.
Coming and going, the whole courtyard showed the harmony and joy of this era.
Yang Xiaotao took advantage of the time to boil the water and came to Ran Qiuye.
The tight-fitting sweater outlines the figure, and the well-groomed face is pleasing to the eye.
"What are you looking at? Pay attention!"
Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao looking at her and looked around shyly.
"A woman likes her appearance, Qiuye, you are so beautiful today!"
Yang Xiaotao lowered his voice and spoke.
Ran Qiuye turned around with a happy smile on her face.
"wrong!"
"Beautiful any day!"
"Stop talking, the water is ready, take it away quickly!"
Ran Qiuye lowered his head and urged.
Yang Xiaotao took the kettle, touched it on his little hand without any trace, and then left with the kettle.
At noon, there was a sumptuous meal on the table.
There were a lot of people coming, so the Ran family divided the table into two.
One table for men and one table for women.
The man is sitting on the bench in the hall, and the woman is at the table.
Each table had two meat dishes, one fish, hot and cold dishes, a total of eight dishes, and a plate of steamed buns with two-sided noodles, with the word "happy" cut out of red paper on them.
Everyone got together, drank and ate.
Of course, Yang Dazhuang and Uncle Li who came together became the direction of attack for the uncles and uncles in the courtyard. In their words, they had to eat well and drink enough to show their sincerity.
Both Yang Dazhuang and Yang Dazhuang also knew that they were on a mission today and that they would not refuse anyone who came. They would risk their lives to get drunk and save face for Yang Xiaotao.
On the contrary, Yang Xiaotao is the junior at this table, he can only pour the wine, and even when drinking, he can only pick it up and accompany him.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
Uncle Wang, who was sitting next to Yang Dazhuang, put down his wine cup, looked at the people on the left and right, and winked.
The surroundings became quiet.
Even the women's table fell silent and listened.
Next, there was a warning from the woman's family, and Yang Xiaotao quickly straightened up.
"It's been a few years since the Qiuye family moved to our courtyard."
Uncle Wang, as the steward, was the first to speak, and several old guys around him nodded.
"This child Qiuye, we can be regarded as big-hearted. We old guys can't see anything else, but we still know the child's character."
"right!"
The people next to me nodded.
"This girl has a good heart, can manage the household, respects the elders, and can also take care of the younger ones. She is the best girl in our compound!"
Uncle Wang nodded and looked at Yang Xiaotao with straight eyes.
"On today's occasion, we, the elders, have to support Qiuye."
"Xiao Tao, Qiuye will follow you from now on. There is nothing to complain about if you suffer losses or hardships. If you can afford to eat meat, but if you can't afford to drink soup, Qiuye will not complain, and neither will we uncles."
"But you can't bully her, you can't let her down, and you can't abandon her!"
"If you do something sorry for her, we, these old bones, won't agree to it!"
The uncle spoke so loudly and forcefully that everyone around him heard clearly and looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Dazhuang, who was sitting aside, was as calm as a mountain and remained calm.
Aunt Wang and the others who came together also made no move. They all knew that this was a necessary step, but some people said it in a vague way and acted secretly. But here, directness is the best way.
Yang Xiaotao did not feel embarrassed. He stood up and looked at the people around him, all of whom were waiting for a guarantee from him.
