Chapter 295
The next day, the sixth day.
Today is the day when Han Xiaobai and Li Dafang get married.
Last night, I called Han Xiaobai and asked him to send him a position. Early this morning, Bai Luoxue and I set off.
We drove a car.
Han Xiaobai's home, Hanjia Village, is in the northeast of Heitu County, more than 200 kilometers away from Huangtu County.
On the expressway, the BMW was running all the way, and when we arrived at his house, we actually caught up with breakfast.
The dumplings were thriving all the way.
The Han family is very lively.
The decoration of lights not only highlights the festiveness of marriage, but also has the flavor of the New Year.
In the house, yard, and on the street, people were rushing and bustling.
This lively atmosphere reminds me of the scene when Chen Yousheng got married. The only difference is that there are not so many vehicles on the street.
But there are many people.
"The people in the entire Hanjia Village are relatives to the Han Xiaobai family. How can there be few people? If they come to eat the mat, the more than 3,000 bites in the village can be eaten."
An old man quietly introduced me with a dry tobacco in his mouth.
Han Xiaobai's grandmother's house is from the same village, his father's grandmother's house is from the same village, and his grandfather's grandmother's house is from the same village.
His two aunts and three aunts were all married in the village.
In addition, there are 4 cousins, 6 cousins, and 7 cousins whose in-laws are also villages.
The entire Hanjia Village is the nest of their Han family’s relatives.
Bai Luoxue and I laughed in silence.
The ones who came to have a meal today, in addition to the new wife's family, there are friends like us, and the other guests are from the village.
After Han Xiaobai held the wedding ceremony lively, some people in charge began to greet everyone.
Their banquet arrangements are indeed a bit exaggerated.
There were two tables in the main room to entertain my mother's family.
A kitchen stove was set up in the yard, occupying a lot of space, and only 5 tables were placed.
The rest of the tables were placed on the street.
Fortunately, the weather is not cold, and people are still happy in down jackets, peanut seeds, and eating wedding candy.
Han Xiaobai and Li Dafang had their wedding procedures. Except for the morning when we met Han Xiaobai when we came, he never cared about us again.
At that time, Li Dafang was still at her parents' home. We only saw her when the wedding ceremony was held, but we didn't bother to speak.
Bai Luoxue and I have been standing in this strange group of people, waiting for the completion of the wedding.
During this period, I found the account table and gave Han Xiaobai and the others the money to accompany me.
When I put 20,000 yuan on the account table, Bai Luoxue grabbed me, pulled me aside, and said:
"You've followed a little bit too much."
I'm very puzzled.
"My relationship with Han Xiaobai is extraordinary. When I was on the construction site, we were together for many years, just like brothers. When he got married, I can take less gifts? I also recruited Li Dafang himself. In this matter, we must show that men and women are equal and treat each other equally. The two of them are 5,000 yuan each, and the two of us are 20,000 yuan. Not much!"
Bai Luoxue explained patiently and earnestly.
"I know you have a good relationship, and I also know that you are following us. 2,000 yuan is nothing to you, but for Han Xiaobai, this is not a decimal. Although they have dividends from shares, this is also the income of the two of them for about a month.
"For two ordinary workers, such a big gift is really heavy. Don't just want to be good-looking and bring psychological burden to others. There are still many places that need to be spent on their first marriage. If you get married after a while, how much can you help him with the 20,000 yuan? Just to get face?"
I began to hesitate when I heard what she said.
"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"You see, on the gift list just now, the majority of the villagers, including relatives, are thirty-fifty, and not many of them are 1,200. This may be related to local customs and habits. In my opinion, it will be a lot for you to follow 1,000 yuan."
"We two have 1,000, or 1,000 for each person?"
I have to make sure.
"We two have a total of 1,000."
Bai Luoxue's attitude is very firm.
"All right!"
Although I think 1,000 yuan is not too much, I still rely on her.
When I handed the money to the account table, I suddenly came back to my senses. What did Bai Luoxue say just now? "If I get married in a while, I will tell me that she agrees that I am going to get married?"
I'm excited!
I'm excited!
The accountant asked me for my name, and I took Bai Luoxue over.
"We two, Chen Lingyu, Bai Luoxue."
Bai Luoxue's face turned red.
Several people around him laughed kindly.
I laughed, too.
This smile is a happy smile.
However, I accidentally saw someone who was very generous with the gifts, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000.
I was sharp-eyed and could not forget the names of the gifted people. I could clearly see the names of those who were given gifts.
They are the bosses of flour mills, feed mills, cattle farmers, and sheep farmers.
I looked at Bai Luoxue, who was still shy beside me, and she didn't seem to notice this.
I didn't say anything.
Leave the account table.
I looked into the crowd and didn't see those bosses. Since we came, I have not found any of them.
When Bai Luoxue saw me looking around, she asked:
"Who are you looking for?"
"Ah? See if there are any acquaintances. It's better to have a companion when you're having a meal later."
"There must be some acquaintances, Xie Qingsong, and several salesmen, and the housekeepers. They said they came and asked me. I said I wanted to go with you, so they drove by themselves. They didn't want to ride in the same car as you, the boss, and they couldn't fit it."
"Why didn't you see them?"
Of course I'm not looking for them.
Since Bai Luoxue didn't notice the names of those bosses, I pretended not to know it, so I would rather not tell her for the time being.
"Even if they came out later, they should have arrived. This is almost the start of the day."
Some people continued to arrange for people to take the seats. I neither noticed Xie Qingsong nor the bosses.
"Don't worry about them, it should be almost here."
Bai Luoxue thought I was thinking about Xie Qingsong and others, so she comforted me and took the initiative to take me to find an empty seat.
At this moment, a few people came in from outside the courtyard gate, which were Xie Qingsong and others.
"It's a bit late, and it's a pity that I didn't catch up with the bride and groom's wedding."
Xie Qingsong said as he walked in.
Seeing Bai Luoxue and I, I said hello first, and went to the account table to present the gift.
Seeing that there were many people in the yard, the others returned to the street and found an empty table to sit down, ate melon seeds and eat wedding candy, and waited for the meal to begin.
Bai Luoxue and I were invited by them to sit together.
After Xie Qingsong finished the account, he found us. He sat down and said a few words. He came over to take charge of the business.
I didn't know him, and they recognized Bai Luoxue and me at a glance.
"Please please, Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai."
It seems that the owner has an arrangement and wanted to refuse, but the attitude of in charge is very firm.
"I hope Mr. Chen will obey our arrangements and listen to us when we are here, otherwise we will not be able to deal with this matter."
Of course I couldn't make things difficult for others, so I got up with Bai Luoxue and went to another dining table with him.
Chapter completed!
