Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

It took a day and a half just to hire someone, and the remaining half day was spent dealing with trivial matters.

These two days, Xu Damao acted as a tour guide and took his family from Evian to watch the flag-raising ceremony and climb the Great Wall. His family said the trip was worth it.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the convoy set off early in the morning. Zhao Shanhu organized a convoy of ten vehicles, saying it was perfect.

In this day and age, having a motorcycle is considered impressive, let alone a car. And not just one, but ten.

When passers-by saw the convoy with wedding characters on it, they were stunned. Whose family was getting married with such a big ceremony?

The convoy finally stopped at the door of the guesthouse, attracting more people to watch the fun. It is a fine tradition of our country to love watching the fun.

When Yiyun's family saw ten cars coming to pick up the bride, they were shocked, especially Yiyun's sister, who was jealous.

"Sister, do you know how many cars your man drove to pick you up?"

"Maybe there are five or six. I heard from An Tong that the company alone has five or six cars."

Today, Evian is wearing a red wedding dress with a down jacket on the outside. She looks so beautiful.

"Ten, ten in total. I'm so jealous. You should know that when your brother-in-law married me, he just rode a bicycle.

I was envious of the three gold items my brother-in-law bought you a few days ago, but now I wish I were you. Sister, you are really awesome. Aren’t we women supposed to marry a man and get clothes and food?

You will have a good life from now on, a life like a god."

"Sister, my brother-in-law is not as bad as you say, otherwise you would have insisted on marrying him."

"Sister, you don't understand. I used to think your brother-in-law was not bad, but that was because I had never seen the world. Now that I have seen the world, I realize that this guy is so good that it makes me angry."

An Tong's wedding party consisted of his brothers, Amber from his second uncle's family, and several grandsons from his third uncle's family, all of whom were big men over 1.9 meters tall.

The people from my mother's family just symbolically stopped him and then let him in.

At that time, my mother’s family thought, “We dare not stop him. We dare not stop him at all. You know, in that era when the average height of a person was only 1.7 meters, and there were 1.9 meters tall men facing him, would you dare to move?”

I dare not move, for fear that they will rush over and hurt my little arms and legs. I don’t know how this family grew up, but none of them are short.”

Yiyun's father carried Yiyun downstairs and handed her to An Tong. Yiyun came down with a smile on her face instead of crying heart-wrenchingly.

The dowry from Evian was actually not much, just a few quilts. She came from far away and didn't bring much with her.

Soon the convoy chose a new route back to the Siheyuan, which is called not going back.

When they arrived at the courtyard, after a series of entry ceremonies, the bride was escorted into the courtyard.

Now all the people in the courtyard are my family, and the hotel was notified by relatives and friends.

"An Tong, you and Yiyun should eat something first. I don't think you will have time to eat later. I'm going to the hotel first. The relatives will be here soon. After you finish eating, bring Yiyun over to greet them."

"Got it, Dad."

Zhao Shanhe was also wearing new clothes today, a blue and black Zhongshan suit, except for the big red flower on his chest. If you didn't know him, you would think he was the groom.

When Zhao Shanhe and Qin Jingru arrived at the hotel, Zhao Shanhai had already arrived. "How is it? No one has arrived yet?"

"Of course not. The third uncle came a long time ago. The other relatives will probably come later."

"Go call Bang Geng and Sha Zhu over to me. I need to tell them something."

Soon, Banggeng and Shazhu came over, "Banggeng, you are the person in charge of the hotel, you must provide good service today."

"I understand, uncle."

"Zhu Zi, you are the guest today, so I shouldn't bother you, but since you are the person in charge of the kitchen, I still need to explain it to you again.

There is an unusual table of guests today. Your task is to ask the chefs to prepare the dishes for this table. I will give you a big red envelope later."

"Shanhe, don't worry about my work. You have already told me before that the ingredients for that table have been prepared in advance, and the soup stock was boiled yesterday."

"Yeah. Don't make any mistakes."

No one had arrived yet, so Zhao Shanhe lit a cigarette and came to where the third uncle was sitting, drinking tea.

"Uncle San is drinking tea. Thank you for coming."

"Shanhe, what are you talking about? If you can invite me, it means you think highly of me, so I have to come earlier to show my support."

"Why don't you bring the three aunts with you?"

"Well, it's the rule that only one person from the family can eat at a banquet. I think you've had quite a big fuss. Are you exhausted?"

"It is indeed tiring, even more tiring than when I first got married, but life is better now, and it is different now than before. Now that I have the conditions, I must do it for my son."

"That's right. Is there anyone who can keep accounts? Do you want Uncle San to keep accounts for you?"

"No need, the hotel has someone to keep accounts. Uncle, just eat and drink well later."

"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have good food and drinks. Most people don't come to your place very often, so I have to seize the opportunity."

"Uncle Three, how did you deal with the Second Uncle's family incident?"

The third uncle took a sip of tea and said, "What else can we do? The three brothers have made a bad name for themselves. Liu Guangqi probably won't come back.

Liu Guangqi wanted the family property, but what kind of family property did he have? Old Liu had spent all his money over the years, and he only had that house.

Liu Guangqi doesn't want to support your second aunt in her old age, so the house is not given to Liu Guangqi. The house belongs to the third brother Liu Guangfu, but the third brother will support your second aunt in the future.

The eldest brother cursed at his wife for a long time and then left, saying that he would never come back, and that was the end of it. "

"What about you, Uncle? Have you gained anything during this period?"

Speaking of this, the third uncle became excited. "I'm telling you, Shanhe, your idea is really good. I'll do this first, then that, as you said.

Now my three sons cook all kinds of food for me and bring them to me. Each one is more filial than the other. "

After finishing a cigarette, Zhao Shanhe said, "Okay, Third Uncle, you take a rest first. It's almost time. I'll go to greet the guests."

The banquet started on time at twelve noon. Almost all the invited guests were present, except for the guests in the private room over there.

Zhao Shanhu was waiting to greet these people, and Zhao Shanhu knew almost all of them.

First there was the wedding ceremony. Uncle Cheng served as the witness and witnessed this moment with everyone, who also gave their blessings.

Next came Zhao Shanhe, Qin Jingru, their in-laws, and the couple who got married today, who toasted the guests.

Those big shots also arrived one after another, all of them came in person without sending any secretaries. What surprised Zhao Shanhe the most was that each big shot also showed up in person.

When Zhao Shanhe saw someone coming, he immediately went up to him and welcomed him into the box. Mayor Li, Li Huaide and Zhao Shanhe's current leader accompanied them. There were only five or six people sitting in the box.

The dishes were specially prepared, and the wine was a decades-old fine wine that I bought from my third uncle a few days ago.

Zhao Shanhe toasted everyone one by one, and the top second generation said, "This is good wine, it looks old, Shanhe, you are thoughtful."

Several big guys just tasted the food lightly, ate a few bites of the dishes, sat for a while and then left. It was already a great honor for Zhao Shanhe that they came.
