Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 689
"Silly Zhu, where is this table?"

Yan Jiecheng took Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, carried his square table to the middle courtyard, and then asked Shazhu with a smile.

Before Sha Zhu could reply, the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi also walked over from the backyard carrying their square table.

"Put it here, just put it here!"

Seeing this, Silly Zhu immediately couldn't care less about arguing with Yan Jiecheng, and hurried forward to give instructions.

I don't know if it's because Sha Zhu was the original protagonist in this film and television world. At this time, the snowflakes that had been falling for almost a week stopped.

Therefore, it is just right to place the table in the yard.

Otherwise, no matter which family it is, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold such a big banquet.

In order to earn enough face in front of so many neighbors in the courtyard, especially in front of Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao, Shazhu spent a lot of money and set up a total of ten tables of banquets. It can be said that except for the children, basically the courtyard All the neighbors in the neighborhood were invited.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian arranged the table according to Sha Zhu's instructions, and then stood aside and made sarcastic remarks.

"Hey, do you think that silly Zhu had money to burn? Didn't he just marry a bad guy? He actually invited everyone in our courtyard, and the whole family only received a gift. What do you think he is trying to do?" ?”

Yan Jiecheng lowered his voice and asked with some puzzlement.

"Tch! Don't care what he's trying to do! Let's eat as much as we can! Not to mention, Lin Tieniu's cooking is really delicious, so greedy that I'm a little hungry now!"

Liu Guangtian curled his lips, then fixed his eyes on the temporary kitchen at the door of Shazhu's house and said.

"Yes, yes, I smelled the stewed chicken just now, and I almost lost my way!"

When Yan Jiekuang heard the words, he unabashedly expressed his yearning for the delicacies made by Lin Tieniu.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all turned their eyes to the kitchen in unison, their eyes full of greed.

Although they don't have much friendship with Lin Tieniu because of their own attitude, this doesn't stop them from being greedy for delicious food.

After all, to have trouble with food is to have trouble with their own stomachs, and they are not that stupid.

In addition, apart from them, the children in the yard had already gathered around the kitchen, staring straight at the big iron pot on the coal stove, no matter how the adults tried to drive them away, they were unwilling to move their positions.

In the end, it was Lin Tieniu who was worried about an accident and distributed a piece of lard to each of the bratty children, which drove them away a little.

As time went by, dishes with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste were constantly coming out of the pot, and the aroma wafting in the air became more and more intense.

"Hey, which one of you didn't come with the ceremony, hurry up and register now, and the meeting will start later."

Yan Bugui yelled into the yard while paying attention to the movement in the kitchen.

Although he had conflicts with Shazhu before, since he took over the work of the accountant, he couldn't ruin his reputation, he had to do the job well.

Moreover, the people living in this courtyard are all old neighbors, who has the courtesy and who has not, he, the third master, can be said to be very clear at a glance.

The reason for shouting that is just because I don't want people to bear grudges.

Hearing the shout, everyone turned their heads to look at Yu Fengxiang.

As the saying goes, the eyes of the people are discerning, and they can see clearly which family does not follow the etiquette.

Except for Xu Damao's family, basically all the residents in this courtyard have already followed the ceremony.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Yu Fengxiang was taken aback for a moment, then reacted abruptly, and hurriedly searched for Xu Damao's figure in the crowd, but she couldn't find it, which immediately made her a little anxious.

Originally, when she came to help, she wanted to take the money with Xu Damao, but Xu Damao said that he would come over with the gift himself, so she didn't care about it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao didn't come here. Isn't this pure heart wanting to embarrass her?

Soon, she took a step forward and ran towards the backyard, trying to settle accounts with Xu Damao.

However, she searched a lot in her own house, but couldn't find Xu Damao. In the end, she could only take one dollar from her private money, and hurried back to the middle courtyard.

"Third Master, our family takes one yuan!"

"Alright! I'll write it down for you right now!"

Yan Bugui reached out to take the money, and then replied with a smile.

At this point, his work is finally complete.

Yu Fengxiang looked at the one dollar, feeling both angry and hurt.

Originally, if she had followed the gift earlier, she would not have had to bring so much money at all, she only needed to bring fifty cents.

"Daughter-in-law Da Mao, do you think I registered correctly?"

Seeing Yu Fengxiang standing still, Yan Bugui frowned slightly, and then asked with some displeasure.

"No, that's right, sorry for your inconvenience!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengxiang came back to her senses, and couldn't help laughing in embarrassment.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly turned and ran towards the kitchen.

You know, she didn't even graduate from the literacy class in the village, so she didn't know how to read at all. How could Yan Pugui remember it right?
snort!
A widow from the countryside dared to watch me register, do you understand?
Looking at Yu Fengxiang's fleeing figure, Yan Bugui couldn't help muttering something in his heart.

Afterwards, he quickly packed up the pens and papers and walked towards Sha Zhu's house.

The sky is big and the earth is big, this will be the biggest banquet, he doesn't have the time to worry about it with Yu Fengxiang, it's better to hand over the gift money and gift list to Shazhu early, and then sit and wait for the banquet to start.

At the same time, Xu Damao, who annoyed Yu Fengxiang, had already quietly guarded outside the courtyard with a few old gangsters, waiting for the banquet to start in the courtyard, and then let those old gangsters rush in to make trouble.

The purpose was to completely ruin Hu Xiaotao's reputation on this happy day in front of the neighbors.

Who let Hu Xiaotao play tricks on him!

If Hu Xiaotao was not made to pay the price, would he still be Xu Damao?

Moreover, this time, in order to successfully achieve his goal, he spent a full 30 yuan to invite a senior procuress to bring his old sisters to help with the work.

Just as he was imagining the scene where Hu Xiaotao was being scolded by everyone, in the courtyard, with a shout, Sha Zhu and Hu Xiaotao also came out of the house.

"The groom and the bride are invited!"

"Thank you, thank you all for coming!"

Seeing Silly Zhu with an embarrassing face and Hu Xiaotao with a delicate and charming face, everyone felt sour in their hearts.

"Fuck! God is really blind, why did Sha Zhu marry such a beautiful girl!"

"Suck~ Look at that face, that figure, it's really amazing!"

"Hey, do you think that silly Zhu's daughter-in-law used to be in that kind of business? If it's true, doesn't it mean that we also have a chance to try it?"

"Tch! Even if it's true, do you have the money?"

"I"

At this moment, due to the mess in the courtyard, many people were making noises, so Sha Zhu didn't know that someone was already thinking about his wife.

He met everyone's eyes, walked up to Liu Haizhong with Hu Xiaotao, and said with a chuckle, "Second uncle, everyone is here! Let's start the banquet when we are all here!"

"Well, let's start!"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction and said.

After finishing speaking, he raised his hands towards the crowd, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, sit down quickly, the banquet will start soon!"

Hearing this, everyone rushed to each seat, fearing that if they ran too slowly, the seats would be taken up.

You know, although there is a rule that children do not sit at the table these days, the rules are dead, but people are alive. As long as the skin is thick enough, even if they occupy a seat, the host will not be able to say anything.

Especially for half-grown children like Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, and Liu Guangqi, as long as they can occupy a seat, they can be considered adults.

In this way, it means that whichever can occupy more seats can eat more.

Seeing such a messy scene, Lin Tieniu frowned directly before Sha Zhu had any reaction.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether he should set up a few tables of banquets in the courtyard when he and Lan Qiaoer got married, which could be regarded as a complete wedding for Lan Qiaoer.

However, according to the current situation, he might as well not show it off!
Not long after, the scene finally calmed down.

Among them, those who successfully grabbed the seats all showed a proud smile.

Those who failed to snatch the seat, stared angrily at the people on the seat, intending to snatch it back.

In addition to those children, many of these people are adults.

Seeing this, Shazhu frowned slightly, then hurriedly leaned into Liu Haizhong's ear, and said with a displeased face: "Second uncle, I have entrusted you with the work of entertaining, now look, the seats are all open. Let those children take over! You can't let me be scolded by people poking my spine?"

"Okay, I'll help you deal with it!"

Liu Haizhong's face darkened when he heard this, and then he said with some displeasure.

After finishing speaking, he gave Liu Guangqi who was sitting on the seat some vicious glances, thinking that Liu Guangqi, a bastard, had humiliated him.

Afterwards, he pondered for a while, coughed lightly and shouted: "Ahem, well, everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. Although every family has followed suit, according to our previous rules, children cannot Those who are at the table, if any child occupies a seat, they should quickly give up the seat."

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, as if they hadn't heard Liu Haizhong's words, and they all thought that they could get away with it.

"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear me when I told you to take the seats for the kids?"

Seeing that everyone was pretending to be stupid with him, Liu Haizhong shouted angrily.

After shouting, in order to make everyone understand what he meant, he went straight up, reached out and grabbed Liu Guangqi's back collar, and grabbed it off.

"Ouch! Dad, what are you pulling me for?"

Liu Guangqi fell to the ground, and couldn't help complaining.

"Shut up, and if you dare to yell again, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

Hearing the words, Liu Haizhong immediately snarled, his face was full of anger.

Liu Guangqi shrank his neck, then got up from the ground reflexively, and ran towards the backyard quickly.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's righteous act of destroying relatives, the others did not dare to pretend to be stupid with Liu Haizhong, and pulled their children up one after another.

However, they did not let the child leave the table, but directly held the child in their arms.

Those who didn't have a seat, seeing that the seat was given up, immediately didn't care about thinking too much, and hurried forward with their children to occupy the seat.

In this way, in the end, basically all adults and children gathered around the table, except for the unlucky Liu Guangqi who was scared away by the bangs.

Liu Haizhong didn't care about this either. Seeing that the problem was solved, he walked up to Sha Zhu proudly and said with a soft smile, "Look, I'll solve this little problem as soon as I get out!"

"Admiration, second uncle, you are still amazing!"

Silly Zhu frowned, then hehe smiled and praised.

"That's right! Don't you see who I am?"

In the middle of the bangs, he felt refreshed, and immediately smiled like a flower.

"Second uncle, now that the problem is solved, let's start the banquet!"

Seeing this, Shazhu had a look of disdain in his eyes, and then he smiled calmly.

"Yes, the meeting is open, I will notify everyone to open the meeting!"

Liu Haizhong nodded, and then said with a serious face, as if he had undertaken some sacred mission.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and shouted loudly at the crowd: "Now I announce that the banquet is open!"

Following this yell, one after another figure came out of the kitchen with meals, and carefully placed them on the table, for fear of being snatched in the middle.

Everyone stared at the food, as if they were staring at some rare treasure. Before the plate was settled, they frantically held the food with their chopsticks, and finished a dish in the blink of an eye.

When the second course was served, there was only one plate left on the table that was cleaner than a dog licked it.

Fortunately, Lin Tieniu has already reserved a table for those who help with the work, otherwise, seeing this situation, no one would be willing to help serve the dishes.

As the dishes were served one after another, there were bursts of chewing sounds in the yard, occasionally mixed with some angry and cursing voices.

If it weren't for the worry that fighting would delay the grabbing of the next dish, maybe this meeting would have already been staged.

In addition, because the food was so delicious, no one thought of the rules of toasting for the bride and groom, so they just kept stuffing food into their stomachs.

It didn't take long for all the dishes to be served.

When everyone was eating vigorously, they suddenly found that the last dish had become an empty plate. They immediately felt a burst of dissatisfaction, and clamored for Shazhu to get another order.

"Silly Zhu, why are there so few dishes? Thanks to me, I gave you a gift of one yuan!"

"That's right! Silly Zhu, hurry up and get some food, preferably some meat!"

"Silly Zhu, why is this dish gone? Could it be that you let someone hide the dish?"

"Silly Zhu, it's your fault. Everyone came to cheer you up with good intentions. You should at least make everyone eat happily!"

"Stupid column."
