Her son was getting married and had a banquet. As a mother, she naturally had to worry about everything.
The banquet was booked at Niu Yishou's place.
The original plan was to host a few tables in a state-owned hotel so as not to lose face and not let the woman's family gossip.
But in the end, Xu Erlong denied it.
He admitted that booking a banquet at a state-owned hotel was a way of saving face, but who knew if the waiter would pile up plates?
It's too much to be cautious based on people's faces on a good day.
"Mom, don't worry about this." Xu Erlong smiled and said to Zhang Jinfang, "I can arrange it myself."
Anyway, there aren’t many people there, mainly around the Wen family.
Zhang Jinfang said angrily: "You kid, how can you talk? It's a big deal for my son to marry a wife. How can I not worry about it? When word spread, people said that I, as a mother, am so incompetent."
Xu Erlong was helpless.
He actually really wants to be good to his mother.
But he didn't know how to treat her well.
The only way he could come up with was to give her more money, buy her more things, and then stop her from being so tired and give her some leisure time.
However, many parents in this world do not want to be free.
Zhang Jinfang is typical now, trying hard to find something to do.
In the past, there was endless work to do in the countryside. She wished she could grow three heads and six arms to do all that work.
But now that she is in the city and has some free time, the main work she can do is to buy food and take care of two meals for Xiaoling.
Seeing that her son was about to get a wife, of course she had to be very busy.
In such busyness, the good day of the 28th day of the lunar calendar arrives.
Wen Ye returned home one day early.
Zhang Jinfang has already purchased a lot of dowry for her in advance.
Knowing that her family's situation was not good, she could not afford the dowry.
But the woman has no dowry, so people always find fault and gossip.
Of course, the dowry these days is just some quilts, wooden boxes and the like.
The bright red quilt and the bright red wooden box all look beaming with joy.
Wen Ye sat beside the bed, stroking the bright red satin surface.
It's great. Tomorrow, she will marry Xu Erlong and become his bride.
Looking at the bright red satin, Wen Ye cried quietly.
Once, she thought that she would not expect to find any reliable partner in her life, and she even thought that such a happy marriage would never happen to her.
Unexpectedly, she had waited for this day.
She can marry gracefully and marry a man who satisfies her in every aspect.
She just laughed and cried, full of emotions.
Wen Laowu came over with a kerosene lamp and was shocked when he saw the tears on Wen Ye's face: "Wen Ye, why are you crying?"
Wen Ye wiped the tears from his face: "It's okay, I'm just excited."
Wen Laowu smiled: "Look at how excited you are. It scared me."
In fact, not only Wen Ye was excited, Wen Laowu was also excited.
He stood there, not in a hurry to leave. Looking at the same bright red satin, he sighed inexplicably: "It would be great if your mother could come and watch you get married in style."
Wen Ye turned around in surprise.
This was the first time I heard Wen Laowu take the initiative to mention her mother.
Wen Laowu also knew that he was wrong.
He looked around and said: "I'm going to take a look outside to see if the wedding candies are ready, so as not to have time to prepare them tomorrow."
After that, he strode out of Wen Ye's room quickly to avoid losing his composure again.
That night, not to mention Wen Ye's excitement and insomnia, Fourth Sister Wen's family was also not very peaceful.
Is this Wen Ye really married to Xu Erlong?
Therefore, the things Fourth Sister Wen did were really in vain.
"Wen Ye is getting married tomorrow, are you still going?" Fourth Sister Wen asked Wang Jianshe's opinion.
She regards her husband as her first priority, and whatever a man says is whatever she wants.
"Go, why don't you go?" Wang Jianshe said: "If you don't go, it seems stingy and unruly. Of course we are going."
Wang Yu also said: "I want to go too. I want to see what this Xu Erlong looks like."
She was curious.
She didn't see anyone last time, and her curiosity aroused.
Fourth Sister Wen said: "Okay, let's go then. I just want to cause some trouble for them."
In short, she was not going to let Xu Erlong take Wen Ye away from Wen's house smoothly without making a fuss.
"Why are you causing trouble?" Wang Jianshe glared at her dissatisfied: "You can't speak with your brain. On someone's wedding day, you go to add trouble, and you're not afraid of getting beaten?"
As soon as Fourth Sister Wen was scolded by her man, she immediately changed her mind: "Look at me, I just went to their wedding to make him lively and make some noise about the bridal chamber. Is this the head office?"
This wedding, bridal chamber, etc., no matter how much the fuss is, but because of the wedding day, it is not easy for everyone to break up.
She planned to use the pretext of the marriage to embarrass Xu Erlong, so that when people mentioned his embarrassing marriage, they would not be able to hold their heads up.
Xu Erlong started preparations early in the morning.
As today's prospective groom, Xu Erlong is in high spirits today.
His hair was cut into a square length and smoothed, he was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath, and shiny leather shoes.
The most common groom's attire in later generations appeared in 1983. No matter how you look at it, it's so advanced.
This look made Xiaoling stare at him for a long time.
Mom, is this really my second brother?
Well-groomed and handsome?
More handsome than the actors seen in movies?
Why didn't you know that your second brother was so handsome before?
Regarding Xiaoling's clamor to follow her to pick up the bride, Xu Erlong directly refused.
Don't go to such an important occasion, little girl.
Although he had never been married in his previous life, he didn't know what the process was.
But he had heard that there were vulgar marriages in many places.
Making trouble for the groom by tying him to a tree and throwing eggs, or forcing the groom to strip naked and walk down the street in women's clothing, or splashing water on the groom, etc. This is not bad, it is making trouble for the groom.
There are also many bridal troublemakers who take the opportunity to take advantage of the bride, and even make trouble for the father-in-law to kiss his daughter-in-law.
The worst part is being a bridesmaid.
Many bridesmaids will have their breasts licked and touched by many men on the day. It is common for them to strip naked and touch them.
These things sounded particularly disgusting, and Xu Erlong didn't want Xiaoling to encounter such things.
He also hoped that nothing like this would happen these days.
Xiong Yawei had made arrangements in advance to deliver the goods and attend Xu Erlong's wedding.
He packed the goods and pasted a big red word "Happy" on the front of the truck, and the big truck served as a pick-up truck for newcomers.
These days, there is no such thing as a wedding car. Xiong Yawei gets a truck to pick up people, which is already considered very prestigious.
All the people arranged by Xu Erlong crowded into the car, and a few suona players were also added.
After the large truck reaches the intersection, the road inside is closed to traffic.
The group of people got off the truck and walked to Wen's house, playing and playing.
