Chapter 25 Wedding Banquet
In the blink of an eye, Sunday is here, Yang Shuning’s wedding day.
"Everyone in our courtyard who gets married is a fool. Isn't it inappropriate for you to invite someone else?" The third uncle asked when he saw Yang Shuning going out.
"It's not like you, Silly Zhu, don't know that if you give him money, you have to show shame to us. It's like we're begging him. It's not worth it. You might as well ask someone else. Whoever earns this money doesn't earn it. Anyway, it's not worth it.
You have to pay for it. And today is my wedding day, so I have hired a chef a long time ago. I don’t want to look for a fool."
Yan Bugui originally planned to get some benefits from the process, but now it seems that he has made up his mind not to use Silly Zhu and said nothing. After all, Silly Zhu is really annoying, and he often offends him with his words.
"Third uncle, I have to ask you to go there early at the guest house. I need your help for a lot of time."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look after breakfast. My family is also getting up, so I'll be fine soon."
Yang Shuning's classmates were all out of town, so they simply asked Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi from the hospital to be the best men. They were a high school student and a technical secondary school student, and their status was enough. After waiting for a long time, Yang Shuning took Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi and set off to pick up the bride.
, the three of them rode three bicycles to their father-in-law’s house with wedding candies and red envelopes.
My father-in-law wanted to provide a jeep from the security office to pick up the bride, and some elders even said that they could provide a military jeep. However, considering that he has not yet formally worked and cannot take advantage of the public service, he might as well continue to use bicycles.
As soon as I arrived downstairs at my father-in-law's house, my brother-in-law Wang Jianguo came with a group of half-year-old children to rob him.
"My brother-in-law is here, come here quickly, everyone, come here quickly."
Yang Shuning also has a black line on his forehead. His brother-in-law is trying to rebel against his brother-in-law.
"Stop shouting, come here to get candies and red envelopes, and step aside after taking them, okay?" Yang Shuning shouted to several children. The red envelopes were prepared yesterday, and each red envelope costs a dime.
"I know, I know, brother-in-law, hurry up and send it."
Yang Shuning opened the candy bag, distributed a few pieces of candy to each person, and gave a red envelope. A group of children happily let the door out with the red envelopes and candies.
After entering the house and talking to his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a few words, he took Wang Xue out. Yang Shuning took Wang Xue, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng and rode toward the courtyard with Wang Xue's dowry...
Yang Shuhao, who was waiting at the gate of the compound, saw a few people coming back and shouted quickly: "My brother is back, Jie Kuang, hurry up and light the firecrackers."
"I got it, click on it now. Holy shit, Brother Hao, Banggeng has dismantled many firecrackers." Yan Jiekuang turned around and saw that half of the firecrackers hanging on the wooden stick were missing. The stick was too fast.
Pay attention and let him succeed.
"This little bastard, ignore him for now, light the rest, and deal with him later." Yang Shuhao said angrily. It was the first time he was entrusted with an important task, and Bangge actually dared to cause trouble for him.
Yang Shuning took Wang Xue back to the courtyard and gave the candy and red envelopes to Yan Jiekuang. Liu Guangfu waited for the children to share the points, and then moved the things to the bedroom in the east wing and put them away.
Then Yang Shuning led a group of people to the guest house of the steel rolling mill, and other people in the courtyard had already arrived.
Nowadays, weddings are generally scheduled to take place at noon to facilitate the guests' coming and going.
The wedding ceremony started at twelve o'clock at noon. Uncle Lin served as the witness. The ceremony in this era was very simple. The two sang the song Dongfanghong, took out the marriage certificate and showed it, and the wedding ceremony was over.
Compared with other weddings in the courtyard, Yang Shuning had more guests at his wedding. His father’s comrades in arms, his mother’s colleagues and friends, his father-in-law’s comrades and colleagues, Yang Shuning’s high school classmates, etc., plus neighbors in the courtyard, Ling Ling
There were six tables in total. Finally, there was a table of seniors’ driver and secretary, making it seven tables.
Nan Yi also started busy early in the morning with his kitchen helper.
As the father-in-law opened the table, the first aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt started serving the dishes.
Yang Shuning watched the food begin to arrive, so she took Wang Xue and started to toast the elders. Yan Jiecheng followed behind with a wine bottle.
Yang Shuning came to the table of his father's comrades and said, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhang, if you eat well and drink well, I'll give you a toast first," after saying that, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh, oh, Shu Ning, you can't do this. How can you toast so many people with one glass of wine? You have to toast one glass at a time." Uncle Lin said.
"Uncle Lin is right, you should drink more on this special day." Uncle Zhang from the Capital Materials Bureau also said.
Yang Shuning watched as several elders spoke: "Okay, since the elders have said so, I will toast you one cup at a time."
As he spoke, he drank a drink with Uncle Lin first, then turned around and drank another drink with Uncle Zhang...
After toasting a table of wine, Yang Shuning took Wang Xue back to her seat and started to eat something to refresh herself. There were five tables behind her.
"Shuning, do you need me to hold a few drinks for you later?" Yan Jiecheng said, since Yang Shuning asked him to be the best man, he can't just eat and do nothing.
"Okay, you can help us in the courtyard later."
Then I toasted to my mother’s colleagues and friends. Many of the people at this table were not from the army, mainly because there were several women, such as Director Wang of the subdistrict office. Yang Shuning toasted half a cup to each of them and then spent the day.
When we arrived at the father-in-law's table, it was the same as Uncle Lin and the others. They didn't say anything, but everyone was toasted.
When I arrived at the table with my high school classmates, I was made a joke.
"Hey, Shu Ning, can you please stop bragging? I think you will be the first one to fall down later. I think you are about to die. Don't let our sister-in-law stay alone in the empty house at night." One is already working as an electrician.
The classmate joked.
"You'll find out later if this is bragging. Also, I don't know if my Xue'er stayed alone in the empty house, but when you got married before, your sister-in-law definitely stayed alone in the empty house."
"Why do you remember so clearly? Come on, drink, drink..."
After the toast, I went to my seat and continued eating. After waiting for a while, I went to toast again and then came back to eat. I toasted four times over and over again. The last two tables of neighbors in the courtyard were served by Yan Jiecheng.
After they were sent away, Yang Shuning and Wang Xue distributed wedding candies one by one to the elder friends who came to have a wedding banquet today, and the wedding was over.
Seeing the driver putting the elders into the car, Yang Shuning prepared to go home. They all drank too much today, and Yang Shuning's wedding banquet also gave them the opportunity to gather at the table and talk and laugh about the past.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we got home. The third uncle left the gift money and the account book. In the evening, Yang's mother also went to sleep in the elder brother's house. Today's east wing belongs to Yang Shuning and Wang Xue.
Yang Shuning took out the treasures left by her elders and the family's savings and gave them to Xueer.
"Xue'er, you will be the housekeeper of our family from now on!"
Wang Xue was shocked when she saw her husband's rich family background. Yang Shuning moved her index finger when she saw Wang Xue's appearance.
Full and warm thoughts~~
"No, I haven't shown you my dowry yet. I'll serve you tonight." Wang Xue's voice reminded me.
"We'll look at the dowry later."
