Chapter 398: Stop the door and ask for a red envelope
Just after Guo Shouye walked in, before everyone could chat a few words, Chen Jianzhang and several town cadres, Yu Shouguang, Shao Mengyong, Yang Junxian and others also arrived one after another.
At this time, there were many people inside and outside Xu's house, most of them from Donggang.
Seeing this, the town secretary led three village secretaries and other cadres to come over to congratulate him.
Everyone was also talking a lot, each sighing, looking at the Xu family's current life, if they hold a happy event, even the leaders of the town come, how can they not accept it?
When brothers Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang saw this situation, they each shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Originally, they thought they were doing well in the workplace and enjoying themselves, but now in comparison, they are nothing.
The sixth sister got married, and the cadres of Donggang Town came to congratulate her. Whose face was it for?
That was definitely not Xu Chenghou or Xu Shiqin, they were both here for Xu Shiyan.
And not only Donggang Town, but also the director of the Forestry Bureau came in person. None of their brothers had this ability.
"I used to think that among the five brothers, the third was the stupidest. Baden was so tired that he didn't have much ability. His family's life must be poor.
Looking back now, among the five of us, he is the best."
Xu Shixian sighed. In the past, he felt that he was doing well in the agency, like a fish in water, and was highly valued by the leaders.
But when I saw it today, I realized that it was just that.
"Brother, third brother's family has long been better than ours.
We are now far behind third brother." Xu Shixiang felt even deeper.
In the past, he was the only one in his family who went to college. No matter what, he had the most prospects regardless of his academic qualifications.
Things are different now. Xu Shiyan also went to college, and it was also a cadre training class at the Provincial Agricultural University.
Those who study there are deputy county level or candidate cadres from various places.
With such connections, even if Xu Shiyan doesn't join a relevant department after graduation, it would be a big deal.
Xu Shiyan didn't know how the three brothers of the Xu family were sighing and lamenting. At the moment, he was busy entertaining guests.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know you could come. I didn't prepare any food or drinks at home.
Secretary Chen, take a few bites of dumplings to cushion your meal, it makes sense."
Xu Shiyan asked his wife to quickly come over with more bowls and invite everyone to eat dumplings.
This is the rule for sending off a bride, no matter how much it is, at least eat a few to make it meaningful.
Chen Jianzhang and others were not polite. They sat at the table and ate a few dumplings at will.
"Well, these dumplings are fragrant and the fillings are well prepared. Whose craftsmanship is this? What's in it that makes it so fresh? It's pretty good."
Chen Jianzhang nodded and praised the dumplings while eating them, saying they tasted very good.
"Ahem, what's so good? It's just homemade pork and cabbage, nothing special." Over there, Zhou Guilan smiled from ear to ear.
Chen Jianzhang and others all came over after breakfast, and they couldn't eat much. They only had three or two for each person.
The other people who were helping out and seeing off relatives all ate whatever they wanted but stopped eating, so they quickly packed it up.
The kitchen helpers quickly prepared two banquets for the Han family who would come to pick up the relatives later.
While everyone was busy, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Here comes, here comes the bride.
Oops, there are several jeeps. What kind of car is that behind? It looks like a truck, so why is it smaller than a truck?"
Then I saw a car driving from the east, turned around and stopped in front of the Xu family gate.
The first one was a military green jeep with big red flowers hanging on the front.
There are a few brand new trucks behind them that look like trucks but are smaller than trucks. The same is true for trucks with buckets and big red flowers hanging on the fronts.
In the twelfth lunar month, many people get married, but in these years, most weddings are by horse-drawn carriages. Occasionally there is a bicycle team, which is very remarkable.
The sudden arrival of a car would really shock the whole of Erdonggang.
Whether it was people in the yard of the Xu family, people outside the gate, or pedestrians on the street, they all looked at the cars intently, watching as the cars came to a stop in front of the Xu family gate.
Han Liwei, wearing a crisp green uniform, got out of the first jeep.
Immediately, several young men also wearing uniforms got out of other jeeps.
All of them have tall and straight postures, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their eyes are very upright. As soon as they stand there, others can't help but straighten their bodies too.
Everyone outside the Xu family's gate was dumbfounded. No one understood what was going on.
Everyone knew that Han Liwei was a soldier, but why did the bride-to-be wear the same clothes as him? The scene looked a bit scary.
The people outside the gate who were responsible for lighting firecrackers and those who were responsible for blocking the door were all stunned and could not recover for a long time.
I don’t know who reminded me to set off the firecrackers quickly. Then I realized and lit the firecrackers quickly.
Han Liwei entered the gate directly amid the loud sound of firecrackers.
Yes, that's right, no one stopped the door.
Zhou Wanlu, Zhang Fenghua and other young men who had planned to block the door were all so stunned that they simply forgot to close the door.
So Han Liwei entered the courtyard unobstructed. The candies and red envelopes he had prepared were useless.
However, when it came to the door of the house, Han Liwei's skills were not easy to use, because the people blocking the door were Xu Haiyuan and a group of children.
Children don't care what you wear or what you do. They only have one request: give you red envelopes and candies. If you don't give them, you won't be allowed in.
"Uncle Han, give me the red envelope quickly. I want a big one." Xu Haiyuan took the lead in making noises.
"Brother Yuanyuan, that's not right, I should call you uncle."
Xu Haiyang was listening and felt something was wrong. Isn't this his uncle? How could he be called Uncle Han?
"Idiot, if you don't give me a red envelope, who will change your mind?" Xu Haiyuan glanced at his cousin.
How stupid, such a good opportunity only comes once. If you don't hurry up and ask for the red envelope now, you will have no chance in the future.
The people watching the excitement burst into laughter when they heard this.
"Hahaha, look at this kid from Third Brother's family, how can he be so smart? He also knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for money."
Han Liwei also laughed, and immediately took out a stack of red envelopes from his pocket and distributed them to the children one by one.
There was another person behind him who carried a small basket with candies in it and stuffed them into his pockets one by one for the children.
When you get the red envelope and put the candy in your pocket, you can't just keep talking about the benefits.
So Xu Haiyuan led a group of children and shouted loudly, "Hello, little uncle."
Then, the children dispersed and allowed Han Liwei to enter the room.
At this time, the east room has been tidied up.
Xu Shiqin was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting on the Kang, with Su Anhua and other girls beside her, and Xue Xiulin, Chen Chunling and others standing around.
Han Liwei entered from the outside, came to Xu Shiqin, stood at attention and saluted.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here to pick you up. I'm sorry for making you wait for me for so long."
For a moment, Xu Shiqin burst into tears, "Don't do this, don't salute me. This is the highest courtesy, you can't do this."
"No, you are the most admirable person and you deserve it." Han Liwei looked serious.
"From today on, my left hand is you, our little family, and my right hand is the country, our everyone. I, Han Liwei, am willing to sacrifice my life for my country and my family."
