What surprised Xiao Yu was that among the people who came one after another in the past few days, there were actually several Taoist priests who went to Bashan together. These Taoist priests and Lao Bai had left each other's phone numbers. Lao Bai must have informed them, as well as the sloppy Taoist priests from Zhongnan Mountain.
Taoist, monk Jie Kong, and two female Taoists.
These people are easy to arrange, and they can be accommodated in the Taoist temple at the entrance of the village.
But then the problem came again. Xiao Qiang originally said to prepare twenty banquets, but recently, people in the surrounding villages were asking about Xiao Yu's marriage and wanted to ask for a wedding drink. In the end, he had no choice but to notify the banquet host at short notice.
Master, prepare fifteen more tables so that you don't have enough when you arrive.
"Dad, aren't these thirty-five tables too many? If there weren't so many people here, it would be so embarrassing!"
A table of ten people, a table of thirty-five, means 350 people. Even if all the people in Shimo Village are added up, there are probably not more than 300 people, so Xiao Yu is confused.
"It's okay. If you can't finish the meal, you can ask your friends to stay here for a while. We can finish the meal in a few days. It's not expensive."
In rural areas, banquets are now contracted, which means that you don’t have to provide anything at home, and the banquet makers come to your door. They bring the ingredients and labor, and even when they are busy, they have to go out and help serve the dishes.
A table of 600 is indeed not expensive. Xiao Yu thought about it and decided to do it this way. It’s easier to have more than to have less. If you really can’t finish it, let the whole village come to eat and treat it as a New Year’s meal.
Xiao Yu initially disagreed with the matter of receiving wedding gifts and suggested that everyone just come and have fun instead of accepting gifts. However, Xiao Qiang disagreed and said that over the past few years, in villages across the country, he would have been a part of anything that happened to anyone's family. If
If you don't accept the gift, it won't be a big loss.
For rural people, this is indeed the case. One is to liven things up when getting married, and the other is that everyone can help each other by spending money on errands at home, which is also a good thing.
When they get married, both men and women have to hold a banquet. Xiao Xue's family entertained their relatives the day before, but they are all from the same village. The relatives of Xiao Xue's family basically know Xiao Yu's family, so these people are given to them the day before.
Xiao Xue's family members continued to come to Xiao Yu's place the next day, making Xiao Yu very embarrassed.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Xue's family held a banquet. Xiao Yu went over to toast to his relatives there, but Shimo Village welcomed several other guests, namely Shangguan Qingzi.
Xiao Yu didn't invite Shangguan Qingzi, nor did he tell her her home address, but she still came. With her, there were old Shangguan and Bureau Liu.
The sudden visit of these people caught Xiao Yu off guard, but since they were visitors, Xiao Yu would not leave them out. After all, these people came all the way here to congratulate him.
Xiao Yu asked Lao Bai to bring a few people into his home, but he was still toasting there. The banquet was not over, and if the groom left, it would be a joke.
"Guys, please have tea. My family is relatively poor, not like you in the city."
Lao Bai poured tea for several people, then sat aside and chatted with old man Shangguan.
At this time, Shangguan Qingzi observed Xiao Yu's living environment since childhood, and it was indeed different from what she thought. However, she didn't care about this, but even if she didn't care, it was now a foregone conclusion.
As soon as Qingzi arrived at home, Aunt Xiao Yu recognized him. All of a sudden, several elders knew Qingzi's identity, causing many people to come and watch.
So these talents came in and out to see what Shangguan Qingzi looked like.
"This girl is not bad. She looks gentle and quiet, and she matches Xiao Yu well."
"I don't like her. This girl looks expensive and difficult to support. She is a rich person, so I don't think she is suitable."
Xiao Qiang glanced at it twice, then frowned and said, "Xiao Yu is getting married tomorrow. What does the girl mean by coming? Will there be trouble?"
Several of Xiao Yu's aunts are also a little worried about this matter. After all, once there is a dispute between a man and a woman, there may really be trouble, especially for today's young people.
"Qingzi, this is where Xiao Yu has lived since he was a child. You have also seen it. Let's go back. You are not suitable here."
The old man Shangguan looked at Qingzi on the side and couldn't help but sigh.
"No, I have to wait for him to come back." Qingzi tilted her head stubbornly. Although there was a smile on her face, she smiled very reluctantly.
The old man Shangguan couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw his granddaughter's appearance. Xiao Yu saved Qingzi from the disease, but now he has plunged Qingzi into an emotional quagmire.
Director Liu also knew about Xiao Yu and Qingzi, so he could only shake his head and sigh. As an outsider, he had no right to speak.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yu finished greeting the guests of Xiao Xue's family and rushed back home. Although Shangguan Qingzi had some emotional disputes with him, the old man Shangguan treated him well and helped clean up the ghost mother.
, and eliminated a big trouble for myself.
"Grandpa Shangguan, Qingzi, Director Liu, welcome, welcome."
"Brother Xiao Yu, you are so handsome today" Qingzi also smiled happily.
"Really, wasn't I handsome before?"
"Huh... narcissistic".
Xiao Yu stepped forward and shook hands with several people one by one. As for Qingzi, the previous greetings between the two were regarded as greetings.
"Xiao Yu, you are not honest. You didn't inform me about such a big event like your marriage. If Mr. Shangguan hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known about it."
Director Liu saw Xiao Yu and joked pretending to be angry.
"I'm sorry, we have high mountains and long roads, and you are all very busy during the Chinese New Year. Why do you have the nerve to bother me? I even said that I would treat you well when I get back."
Xiao Yu took out a cigarette, lit it for Director Liu, then looked at the old man Shangguan and said, "Grandpa Shangguan, you are always tired."
"Haha, I'm not tired. My old man has been in the city for a long time. It's just a good time to come to the countryside to have some peace and quiet. I can also attend your wedding and have some joy."
Xiao Yu knew that when the other party came here, he would definitely not be able to leave for a while, so after chatting for a while, he quickly asked his aunts to prepare meals and give him a good rest at night.
You can make do with your friends, but you can't make do with the old and the young, so you have to make them comfortable.
Because there are many people, Xiao Jie is helping to greet Xiao Yu’s brothers in the dormitory. As for Bai Zimo and others, they arrange themselves, and those Taoists are arranged by Lao Bai. Xiao Yu’s main task now is to take care of them.
The old man is in charge of several people.
"Xiao Yu, what is that girl doing here now? You have to say hello to her to avoid causing trouble tomorrow."
When Xiao Yu went to the kitchen, Xiao Qiang pulled Xiao Yu aside and began to explain.
"Dad, it's okay, she just came to attend the wedding, don't think too much about it."
"That's the best. I've been busy for half a month and tomorrow is the last day. Don't make any mistakes."
Xiao Yu was now two heads tall, and then turned around and went outside. Although Xiao Yu thought that the things that his parents and aunts were worried about would not happen, he still felt that it was necessary to be on guard. After all, this little woman's thoughts were not his own.
not understand.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu took Shangguan and the others around the village, telling some stories about his childhood, and then went to the Taoist temple, where they politely offered incense.
