Principal Yin was already feeling guilty when Li Xiaoyan was causing trouble in No. 2 Middle School. He felt that he had made a mistake. Yesterday, he learned that Zhou Xialong was divorced and Li Xiaoyan broke Xiaole's millions of dollars, which made him feel even more guilty.
He felt very sorry for his classmate Xiao Le and Uncle Zhou. He tossed and turned last night and stayed up half the night. In the morning, he took the earliest bus with the leaders of the township central school, Jiudao junior high school, primary school, kindergarten, and leaders from the township for meetings.
A bus back home.
The car arrived at the Jiudao open-air parking lot two minutes before 11:30. Principal Yin had something on his mind and did not go straight with his classmates. He carried his bag and went straight to Meicun.
When walking on the street, the old principal didn't notice the firecracker confetti at all. When he entered Plum Village, he noticed red confetti along the road leading straight to Plum Village. He didn't care about whose family was hosting what happy event.
When walking along the village road leading to Lejia, I found that there were still confetti along the way, but I still didn't pay attention. When I walked to the vicinity of Lejia, I watched the confetti continue to extend forward, and I couldn't help but pay attention.
Principal Yin noticed that the scraps of paper went from the village road to the door behind the Zhou family's house, so he didn't think about it anymore and continued to move forward. When he almost reached the garden in front of the Le family's house, he heard that the Zhou family seemed to be very lively and couldn't help but
Full of suspicion.
He couldn't figure out whether it was the Zhou family having guests, or whether the Zhang family behind the Zhou family was holding a happy event. He hurriedly ran to the Lejia, and when he arrived at the building, he found that the door to the north building of the Lejia was closed, but there was a call coming from the third floor of the south building.
The sound of coming to Leshan to study made me hesitate.
Leshan was in class in the south building, which meant that someone from the Le family was at home. The door to the north building was closed, which meant that the owner and his wife might have gone out for something.
Before the old principal decided whether to wait in front of the Lejia Building, he saw a handsome young man wearing a long-sleeved shirt coming out of the alley between the north and south buildings of the Lejia Building. The young man was carrying a basket with the number of rice ears on his back.
Heaped up like the top of a hill, the yellow rice is particularly eye-catching.
Recognizing the handsome young man as Xiao Le's bodyguard, Principal Yin no longer hesitated. He walked into the floor in front of Le's building and asked, "Brother, is Xiao Le at home?"
Yan Xing recognized who it was at a glance and showed a faint smile: "Little Loli is at home. She teaches Leshan studies on the third floor of the south. Old principal, please go in and sit for a while. Mr. Chao and Mr. Yi Laoyan will be back soon.
Already."
"Hey." Old Principal Yin responded, walked to the front door of Le's house, waited for the young man to open the door, and then followed him into the house.
Yan Xing asked the old principal to sit down first. He carried the rice ears in the basket to the third floor to dry on the roof. Then he went downstairs, washed his hands and face briefly, poured the old principal a cup of herbal tea, and then went to wash rice and cook.
He had just turned on the electric rice cooker when Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan and Mr. Chao came back covered in sweat. When the old men saw Mr. Yin, they said hello first and sent the rice ears upstairs before taking a shower.
The three old men simply freshened up and then returned to the North Hall of Lejia to have tea with Old Principal Yin. The old principal didn't say what they had come to Lejia for, and the old men didn't ask.
When Le Xiao's classmate knew that Principal Yin was here, he remained calm. He started class for his younger brother at 11:55 and ended the get out of class five minutes early.
After the morning class ended, Leshan put away his books, rushed to his sister's side, hugged her legs, and became a perfect pendant with the big wolf dog.
The younger brother and the big wolf dog were so sticky that Le Yun carried them downstairs one by one, then put them down on the ground and locked the south building door.
Little Leshan and the big wolf dog were waiting for their sister, then ran ahead to have fun, and trotted all the way into the north building.
When Leshan saw that there were guests at home, she smiled sweetly, then decisively approached her master and Mr. Yan. Grandpa Chao acted coquettishly and cutely.
Principal Yin saw the little girl who followed the baby and the wolf dog into the room, and stood up with a guilty look on her face: "Xiao Le-"
"Old principal, sit down." Le Yun grinned: "Old principal, have you heard the rumors about Li Xiaoyan's mother and daughter? You are so kind to those matters that have nothing to do with you. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoyan and Meng Lili did not cherish your elders.
The opportunity created for them was like a fate that was ruined."
"Oh, I originally thought that Xiao Meng was a transparent person, but I didn't expect that she... was so confused that I made a mistake and introduced her to my uncle Leshan, which ruined the reputation of the Zhou family." Principal Yin felt particularly guilty.
, why did he think that mother and daughter were both responsible people?
"The Li family only has a little flesh and blood, and it is inevitable that a loving mother will lose her children." Le Yun didn't care at all about the character of the Meng family and her daughter. She smiled and comforted: "Old principal, please stop blaming yourself. Painting a tiger's skin is difficult to paint its bones.
It is difficult to know the heart when it comes to knowing the face of a person. No one can see through the hearts of the Montessori mother and daughter. Who would know that they are different on the surface and selfish at heart.
Old principal, please don’t worry about my Uncle Zhou’s reputation. Even if I get divorced again, my Uncle Zhou’s reputation will not be ruined. If I divorce, I will be able to marry a wife. No, I, Uncle Zhou, got married again.
We have a wedding today, and the new wife just walked in."
The little classmate was comforting himself, and the old principal blamed himself even more. They didn't know how to make up for their mistakes. When they heard that Uncle Zhou was getting married again, they were all shocked.
"Uncle Zhou is getting married again, is he getting married today?" So, the confetti on the road was caused by Uncle Zhou setting off firecrackers when he married his wife, not someone else's wedding?
"Yes, the new daughter-in-law came in less than an hour ago," Le Yun smiled and nodded: "My father and Aunt Feng are helping out at the Zhou family. The banquet will be held at twelve o'clock, and I will also take my brother there for dinner.
Old principal, if you don't mind, can we go together? If you don't want to go, you can have dinner at my house today at noon, Yan Shuaiyan and Yi Laoyan are always at home."
"No, no, I won't go over. I'll have dinner at your house." Principal Yin was slowed down by the news that Zhou Xialong had married a new wife. His mind was confused, so he would usually say "I won't eat anymore."
However, he was tricked into it by his classmates and chose to have lunch at Lejia.
"That's it. You're welcome at Xiao Lele's house. Xiao Tuanzi, please take Leshan there. I won't go either."
Mr. Chao patted Mr. Yin on the shoulder with a smile: "We have two drinks at noon. Xiao Lele keeps a close eye on us elders and doesn't let us drink more. We only drink more when there are guests, which hurts us."
I drool every day looking at the wine jar."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lao Yan also agrees.
Principal Yin nodded nervously, hesitated, rummaged through his backpack, and after searching for a long time, he only found three red banknotes. He was quite embarrassed and said, "Xiao Le, do you have any cash? Please lend me a thousand red envelopes first."
"Okay, I'll get it." Le Yun didn't say that she didn't need to give a red envelope or anything. She ran upstairs, went to the study room, dug out a box, took out a thousand cash notes, and then took a red envelope and went downstairs.
Principal Yin wrapped a red envelope worth one thousand and two dollars and gave it to his junior classmates to take to the Zhou family. He asked not to mention that it was from him, lest the Zhou family know about it and call him to dinner.
Le Yun also understood the old principal's mood. He felt bad. If he went to Zhou's house, he would feel even more guilty. So he didn't talk nonsense, stuffed the red envelope into his sleeve, took his little brother's hand and went to Grandma Zhou's house.
Grandma Zhou was scheduled to serve at twelve o'clock, and with five minutes left, she set off a string of thousands of firecrackers to urge the guests to take their seats.
Villagers from Meicun who knew that Zhou Xialong was marrying continued to arrive after the bride came in. Even some people from neighboring villages came uninvited.
Originally there were twenty tables, but it was not enough, so another table was added on the patio, but it was still not enough. Grandma Zhou Man took the initiative and cleared out her sister-in-law's room to set up two tables and sit there for the female guests.
After the firecrackers went off, another group of people rushed to Zhou's house and filled the seats.
At twelve o'clock, Village Chief Zhou took the person in charge of the banquet to inspect the place. He found that it was still a bit crowded, so he added two more tables to the room where Zhou Chunmei originally lived on the second floor and arranged all the people.
The guests were seated. Village Chief Zhou looked at the Chairman and saw that there were still two empty seats and shouted: "Zhou Tianming, go see if Leshan has finished class."
"Grandpa Man, get out of class is over." The old man shouted vigorously, and his cheerful voice came from outside the door into the Zhou family hall.
"Ouch, Cao Cao is here."
"Fortunately, I didn't speak ill of anyone behind my back. If I had spoken ill of anyone, Little Yazai would have heard it."
The people who were waiting for the Le family girl in secret burst into laughter.
Leshan followed her sister to the door of her grandmother's house and heard Grandpa Man talking about herself. She responded first, then followed her sister up the steps and crossed the threshold to enter her grandmother's house.
Grandma Zhou took her son and new daughter-in-law with her, and Grandma Zhou Man followed Village Chief Zhou to invite the guests to take their seats. When they saw the two little cubs arriving, they happily waited for them to come.
Leshan was very polite. He first called his grandma, grandpa, grandma, grandma, and grandma, then uncle, and finally called "aunt" to Ms. Li in red.
The sound of "aunt" made the Cao family feel refreshed and energetic.
Ms. Li was also filled with joy and quickly gave the red envelopes she had been preparing to each of the Le family siblings.
Leshan took the red envelope and stuffed it into her sister's wide sleeves.
Village Chief Zhou didn't see Mr. Chao and asked why he didn't come.
"I have a visitor coming to my house. My grandpa Chao is staying with the visitor and won't come over at noon." Le Yun explained with a smile and stuffed the red envelope given to her by Ms. Li into Guangxiu's inner pocket.
Xiao Lele said that there was a guest at the Le family. Village Chief Zhou guessed that it was Xiao Lele's friend, but he did not invite the guest and urged the little boy to go to the table and take a seat.
Grandma Zhou took Xiao Lele's little hand and said, "You refused to sit at the table last time, and we didn't force you. You must sit today."
"It's not my turn to sit at the top of the table. It's a big deal if I take the second seat." Let her sit with a bunch of old people? To be honest, Le Yun really doesn't want to. It's weddings and weddings, and the guests on the chair are the slowest to eat. At least they have to eat.
It takes more than an hour, and it’s hard to endure the time. You can just sit at a side table and eat a full meal before walking away.
"Miss Le, if you don't sit at the table today, no one in our Cao family will be able to sit still." Everyone in the Cao family stood up together. This marriage was only possible because the girl from the Le family was jealous. If she doesn't sit at the main table, who in the Cao family can feel at ease?
"The Cao family is a wedding guest from my mother's family, so it is natural for me to sit at the banquet. I am a relative of the husband's family, so I should sit at the side table."
"We don't care about it at other times. Today you and Zhou Ba's wife are official guests. You can't sit at the side table. Xiao Lele, hurry up and go to the table with your aunt."
Village Chief Zhou made the final decision and without any explanation, handed the little boy to Aunt Pa and asked Aunt Pa to take her to the banquet.
Leshan was very clever. He quickly ran forward to where Grandma Chao and Mrs. Wu were sitting, stuffed something in the middle and used it as a small sandwich biscuit.
The little boy sneaked over, and Mrs. Chao and Mrs. Wu were having fun. They rubbed the little guy's head with a smile, and even looked at his sleeves to tease him about why he didn't hide the red envelope himself.
The eldest son of the Le family wears a large coat with wide sleeves, while Leshan wears a straight-sleeved dress. The clothes of the two siblings are mainly sky blue and embroidered with flowers.
He is willing to let others touch his head, and he is indeed a well-behaved and cute baby.
Le Yun, who was being pulled by Aunt Pa, had to go even if she didn't want to sit at the table. She was stunned when Aunt Pa and an old man from the Cao family who was the sister-in-law of Grandma Cao sat on the side near the north wall. Aunt Pa sat on the table.
On the side facing away from the back hall.
Xiao Lele sat down with the matchmaker Auntie. Village Chief Zhou asked his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law to take the newlyweds to the table. He went to the kitchen to inform the dishes.
Grandma Zhou and others sat down in the main room.
When the guests are seated, the kitchen staff brings the pots and dishes.
Because it was hot, I didn’t eat hot pot. However, since I was getting married and the banquet was being held at home, I had to have a pot to show my happiness, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the meal, so I set up a pot rack to hold the pot instead of a round table.
The first course is a base dish of spareribs, followed by three main courses.
After four dishes were served and several strings of thousands of firecrackers were set off, Village Chief Zhou led the newlyweds in the main room and said a few words to thank the guests, then toasted with a glass of wine and officially opened the banquet.
After the guests had finished their meal, Village Chief Zhou also went to the lower hall to have dinner.
There were guests at each table at the main banquet in the upper room. The guests greeted the Cao family, so Leyun acted like a mascot and just ate and drank.
After the first dish was served, three more dishes were served ten minutes later.
The second round of dishes was served and the newlyweds toasted.
Toasts should be made to the host first. Not only the guests, but the newlyweds also have to make three toasts to the matchmaker. Little classmate Le Xiao didn’t drink, so his aunt drank on his behalf.
After toasting to the four tables in the upper room, the newlyweds then go to other tables to toast one by one.
At the end of the toast for the newlyweds, the third round of dishes was served. When the newlyweds finished toasting, the kitchen staff served the last round of dishes, two vegetarian and one meat.
The last meat dish is meatballs, which represents completion and also means that the food has been served. If anyone has something to do or is in a hurry, they can leave the table early after the meal.
When the last dish was served, the young people of the Zhou family left the table and went to Grandma Zhou's room to carry out baskets and distribute wedding cakes and red envelopes to guests at each table.
The money in the red envelope is not much, usually two, four or six yuan is enough. One red envelope per person, no matter old or young, everyone has a share.
The Zhou family’s red envelope is four yuan, no more, no less.
The wedding cake not only includes cakes, but also wedding candies, packed in bags, one for each person.
The villagers who came to Zhou's house for a wedding banquet got the wedding cakes, ate for a while, and after eating and drinking, they gathered in groups and returned to their homes one after another.
The guests at the banquet all resigned, and Village Chief Zhou went to the banquet to accompany the guests to drink. The Cao family was afraid that the bride-to-be would get drunk and cause something embarrassing.
Due to the kindness of the village chief, I stopped drinking.
The guests at the table ate until about 1:20, when the guest of honor had a good time and dispersed.
After the host and guests dispersed, Mrs. Liu and others who were in charge of the work quickly cleared away the tableware and served tea and fruit plates.
After drinking a cup of tea with the Cao family, Le Yun first excused herself, found Uncle Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and gave the red envelope given by Principal Yin to the newlyweds.
Brother Zhou was embarrassed to accept the red envelope from Principal Yin. The little boy told him that if he didn't accept the red envelope, the old principal would think that the Zhou family was complaining about his poor matchmaking performance last time, so he accepted it.
Grandma Zhou packed a wedding cake and candies, and a red envelope, went to the kitchen to get a piece of meat, and asked her son and daughter-in-law to go with Xiao Lele to Lejia to thank the old principal with a return gift for the old principal.
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li were going to the Le family to express their gratitude to the old principal. Le Yun greeted the Cao family and went home first with Mr. Li holding her younger brother.
