Chapter Thirteen Farce
Hearing the quarrel in the front yard, the aunt who lived in the middle courtyard hurriedly woke up the uncle and asked him to go and see what happened.
"What happened? I heard it in the middle courtyard." The first man came to the front yard with his slippers on, pushed aside the crowd and asked.
"Master, when I get married, my parents said they would invite people from the compound to have a lively dinner together." Yan Jiecheng pulled the master and cried.
"Isn't it nice that the third uncle, who knows how to live a good life, wants to organize a banquet for you and invite you to have a wedding banquet in the courtyard."
"Yeah, I didn't expect the third uncle to want to invite us to a wedding banquet. This was done openly." Everyone was very happy to hear that the Yan family was inviting everyone to have dinner together.
"Yan Jiecheng, your dad has stopped being stingy this time. Could it be that you are reluctant to spend money to treat us old neighbors to a wedding bar?" He Yuzhu's words made everyone laugh.
"Yan Jiecheng, we have been neighbors for many years. For such a big event like a wedding, we have to invite everyone to have fun together." After Jia Zhang's words, everyone nodded.
"Yan Jiecheng, isn't it nice that your dad wants to invite everyone to a wedding banquet? What were you yelling about just now?" Hearing that the third uncle invited the whole hospital to a wedding banquet, the first uncle was quite happy. Why did Yan Jiecheng make such a good thing?
The old man is confused.
"First of all, listen to what my parents have prepared for me!" Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was very happy to hear about the wedding banquet and the rich dinners, Yan Jiecheng thought that I spent a lot of money on everything you eat and drink.
"The small miscellaneous fish caught make soup, a plate of shredded potatoes, a clear cabbage, a plate of fried peanuts and two plates of pickles."
"Everyone is in trouble, isn't this good?" When the first man heard that Yan Laoxi actually prepared 6 dishes and also provided sweet potato roasting, he secretly gave the third man a thumbs up, and finally got something done.
"Boss, don't forget that there are also sweet potatoes for main consumption. Guan Enough! Sweet potato roasting for wine." The third aunt proudly filled in the two things Yan Jiecheng missed, especially mentioning the word "Guan Enough".
Voice.
"Oh, what a great job the third uncle has done! I can even take care of the sweet potatoes."
"Third aunt, we will help you work together tomorrow!"
"..."
"Several members of our family are also here to help." After hearing that Baishu was enough, Qin Huairu hurriedly signed up several members of her family.
Don't think that you are here to help out of kindness, just because you think you can save some money by using more of the Yan family's food.
"Don't be happy yet, my dad asked me to pay 5 yuan per table for this!" Seeing that everyone misunderstood, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly told the following conditions, fearing that he would be criticized by the people in the courtyard later.
"What?! That's all for 5 yuan!"
"Oh, what a sin. My own children have already figured this out."
"..."
"It's true, the third uncle deserves to be the third uncle!" Xu Damao nodded and shook his head after hearing this.
At such a banquet, the third uncle actually dared to ask for 5 yuan a table, and the neighbors in the yard were talking about it.
"Go! What are you arguing about about our own family?" The third uncle, who had been so embarrassed just now, also changed his face when he heard everyone's discussion.
"Master, there are some things you don't know yet."
"My house is the one you've seen before, except for a bed and not even a place to sit."
"I discussed with my parents about buying something for the wedding room, not to mention a wardrobe and a desk. At least a few stools. If guests come to the house, at least there will be a place to sit. They only have one thing to say: Give me money!"
"It happened that Shuanzi gave me an idea and asked the carpenter from his hometown to help me build the furniture."
"Just tell me that my mother and the others are reluctant to give up the money. I can hire someone to do it myself, or I can ask my mother to help boil water and make some lunch."
"But she would rather sleep at home and not care about my affairs. If it weren't for Shuanzi's sake, my master would have been angry and left." After saying this, Yan Jiecheng became more and more aggrieved and burst into tears.
"Some time ago, the third aunt even showed off to me that she had built a house of furniture for her son. It turned out that she paid for it herself."
"No, you still pulled me to open the window to look at it. She said she didn't want to go in and mess up the house. It turned out that she didn't pay and they weren't allowed to enter the house."
"I asked her if she was really willing to buy such furniture for her son. Guess what she said."
"Tell me, how did you say it?"
"My son's marriage is the first major event that our old Yan family does in the courtyard. No matter how much money we have, we must buy it decently." Aunt Liu in the backyard vividly imitated the way the third aunt spoke, causing everyone to burst into laughter. .
"..."
Hearing the ridicule from the neighbors, the third aunt's face turned blue and white. She felt so comfortable when she showed off her eldest son's wedding room, but now she feels so embarrassed.
"Sir, I bought a wedding house by myself and borrowed money from all my friends. My dad didn't even bother to help me, and he even tried to trick me into asking for banquet money."
"You said there are parents like this!" Yan Jiecheng became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. The more he spoke, the more annoyed he became. He squatted on the ground holding his head and sobbing.
"Whose family doesn't plan their lives! If everyone depends on you, our family won't be able to survive!" The third aunt was so angry that she yelled angrily.
"Lao Yan, quickly bring the third aunt back. My son is getting married tomorrow and there is a quarrel in my family. How ridiculous!"
"Jie Cheng, you just finished decorating your new house and you don't have much money."
"In this case, don't listen to your father and invite everyone to a wedding banquet. Just buy some cigarettes and wedding candies to cheer everyone up." The first man comforted Yan Jiecheng with a few words and made arrangements.
"Alas! It makes sense for me to make such an arrangement. I can't let you cause hunger and hold a banquet for everyone."
"Okay, we have to go to work tomorrow, everyone should leave early." Seeing that everyone was listening to the first uncle's words, the second uncle said a few more words as an afterthought in order to highlight that he was also the uncle of this courtyard.
"I won't invite you again. If I don't have money to treat you, I won't tell you earlier. It's a waste of time."
"Isn't this a trick?"
"..." After hearing this, everyone refused to invite them to the wedding banquet, and all dispersed back to the house in twos and threes.
After all the disturbance, the courtyard returned to peace.
"I said, Dad, why are you tossing and turning if you don't sleep?" The third aunt, who had been humiliated so much in the courtyard, couldn't sleep at all. The third uncle next to her kept turning over, which made the third aunt even more upset and angry.
"Boss is not hosting a banquet. What should I do with all the things I have saved so hard?"
"We can't eat it ourselves, it would be a waste." Hearing that the third aunt was awake, the third uncle said what was on his mind.
"Never mind, that tank of small fish weighs more than ten kilograms anyway." After hearing about the property, the third aunt sat up.
