Chapter 21: A Shabby Wedding
As soon as Cui Ming arrived at the entrance of the yard, he found that there was no lively feeling of weddings in the yard, and even the red cloth and the word "Happy" were not posted.
Out of concern, he stopped going to the trunk to get the things he brought back. He quickly got out of the car and walked quickly into the yard, wanting to see what his grandmother is doing now and how she feels like?
After entering the yard, I looked around and saw his grandmother and Old Man Liu sitting at the kitchen door, peeling the corn with her talking and laughing.
I felt a little relieved immediately.
Seeing that he was talking and laughing, his eyes were smiling, probably even if his grandmother felt a little uncomfortable with the rumors, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable any more.
At this time, Mrs. Cui also saw Cui Ming, who was lying in the yard and hurriedly greeted: "Mingming, you are back!
Come here quickly, the corn has just been harvested and has not been peeled yet. Come here and help me peel it together, and finish the work quickly.”
When Cui Ming heard the greeting, he walked to the kitchen in three or two steps, moved into the house and came out to sit at the door, reached out to grab a piece of corn, and asked while peeling the corn:
"Grandma, didn't you say you had a wedding on the 13th last time? Why is there no change in your home now? Are you waiting for me?"
Old Mrs. Cui's hand peeling corn never stopped. When she put a freshly peeled corn into the basket on the left, she said slowly:
"We are all so old that we are not ashamed to have a big fuss. Just go back and have a simple meal at home, there is no need to make trouble!
Besides, the old guys in the village are very toxic and talkative. Inviting them to come to dinner is a waste of time. It is better to invite a few familiar ones to be lively and lively!
I have calculated it all, and I will invite you Aunt Mei’s family, Aunt Mei’s family, Aunt Gui’s family and the village chief’s family.
Originally, I didn’t invite the village chief, but didn’t you donate five million last time? He wanted to celebrate with all his might, so he could only invite him over for help!
Together, there is only one table of people!
That's it!"
Cui Ming opened his mouth and thought of his experience when he just entered the village, and he suddenly felt that what his grandmother said was indeed the best choice at present.
Think about it, the wedding is not about showing off, but mainly to get blessings from others. In this way, why should a group of people who are extremely likely to be ruined? Will you be willing to come here to ruin your mood?
For example, his uncle.
Please come here to wish you a blessing or a ruin?
It was obviously a mess!
Cui Ming, who had figured it out, paused and nodded: "You are talking about that too!
Then let’s do it, but even if you don’t have a big deal, you will still make the house feel a little bustling, otherwise it will be too monotonous!
In this way, don’t worry about this. I have already bought a lot of things on the way here. I will wait until I look back and see what is missing before I can send it to you.
All the next thing depends on me!”
As Cui Ming said that, he put down the corn he was peeling in his hand, stood up suddenly, and strode out.
Three or five minutes later, Old Mrs. Cui sat at the kitchen door and watched Cui Ming take out a lot of things from the trunk and enter the yard, then select objects from the pile of things to decorate the house.
A red double-happy window is posted on this window, a red lantern is hung on the window, a Chinese knot is hung on the room on the left, and a Fulinmen is posted on the entrance of the room on the right.
All kinds of behaviors made Old Mrs. Cui laugh at the kitchen door:
"This brat, I just bought it without knowing anything. Is this marriage or the Spring Festival!
Lao Liu, if you continue to peel corn, I have to go over and give it a little, otherwise, as he does this, people will come over and make fun of us!
Really, which one of the most beautiful families at the wedding door is still hanging Chinese knots! It’s all nonsense!”
With the help and guidance of Mrs. Cui, Cui Ming then realized his mistake and hurriedly removed some inappropriate things and hung festive items that fit the wedding scene.
Fortunately, he bought a lot of things. Even though nearly half of them were not suitable, the remaining part was enough to decorate the house.
As for the remaining inappropriate ones, Cui Mingduo went to the utility room. Although those things are not suitable now, aren’t they suitable when the Chinese New Year is back?
Another day later, that is to say, on the 13th, the wedding was briefly organized in Cui Ming's yard. Cui Ming acted as the temporary emcee, village chief, old lady Mei and aunt Gui, all three families who were free to come here to watch the ceremony.
Originally, Cui Ming wanted to invite a band to come and sing, and then invite two emcees to host the show, but in the end, these ideas were ruthlessly rejected by Mrs. Cui, and the reason why Mrs. Cui refused was quite reasonable.
There was no invitation to this wedding banquet, and there may not be more than twelve people in total. If you go to the band to invite an emcee, what does it mean to ask for an emcee?
Don’t look back and invite more people from the band than the number of people in the banquet. By then, it would be really embarrassing to open the door and be embarrassed to get home.
It’s better to do it so casually at home, just have some meaning.
Cui Mingshi couldn't twist his grandmother, so in the end, Old Mrs. Cui's love for the evening was so inappropriate, and even started to handle it in a vague way.
Although the three families invited were very proud and stood up and raised their glasses to congratulate each other, Cui Ming still felt a little uncomfortable and felt a little sorry for his grandmother.
He was the one who encouraged his grandmother to accept Old Man Liu and asked them to get the certificate to hold the wedding, but now he is the one who made the wedding look like this. How could he feel without guilt?
Until the afternoon, after all the three families invited left, Mrs. Cui sat next to Cui Ming, who was slightly depressed, and said with a smile:
"Are you blaming yourself for me?
There is no need. Today I am very happy. When I married your grandfather, although there were a little more people coming here, there were not many, and neither table was full.
Moreover, the food was mixed with steamed buns, and there were only steamed buns with wild vegetables. There were only five bowls of vegetables on the table, including only one bowl of cabbage and pork, which was considered meaty. The pork in the dishes was probably not half a pound!
So, I am very happy and satisfied with this wedding you have created for me now!
If it is really lively as you said before, you are both inviting the emcee and in the orchestra. At that time, the old guys in the village don’t know what to say to me. I have no idea of leaving the village and moving into the county town for the time being. I can’t make the relationship with the villagers too stiff!
Originally, if you hadn't insisted on having a wedding, I would have planned to only ask Lao Liu for a certificate. Now I'm quite satisfied with multiple weddings!
Okay, don’t blame yourself, hurry up and go to wash the dishes for me. Are you embarrassed to let me, the newly married bride, go to wash the dishes?"
Cui Ming laughed when his grandmother said:
"Then you should go to the wedding night with Uncle Liu. I'll wash the dishes for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Ming was worried that his grandmother would twist his ears again, so he quickly rushed into the kitchen and started washing dishes.
Chapter completed!
