Picking mulberries
Chapter 93
"What good news?" Knowing that your kid has found a girlfriend, didn't he just want to surprise me, Qiu Jingping put on a curious and excited tone.
"Do I know who the person who rescued you from prison in 06 is?"
"Ah! Really? That's great, who is it?" Qiu Jingping didn't need to pretend anymore, he really jumped up.
"Fate, it's really predestined by the heavens, and it won't work if you don't believe in the arrangements of the heavens."
"Okay, okay, I believe it is a fate arranged by God, so you just tell me who is doing it, and is it related to our family?" Apart from relatives, Qiu Jingping really can't think of anyone who would be so sincere to save Own.
"Doctor Cui, do you know who it is?"
"Stop talking nonsense, of course I know who it is, and it is our family's great benefactor."
"No, it's your benefactor. To me, it's my pawn." Qiu Yang emphasized again.
"You are more handsome than me, you can say whatever you want." Qiu Jingping rolled his eyes anxiously.
"Dr. Cui accidentally saw the news of your arrest in a newspaper in Guangdong that year. I don't know if he was thinking about making a baby marriage with your son, or because he was impressed by your reputation as Qiu Xiucai. He immediately wanted to rescue you. When you came out, it happened that his father, the big boss of our company, was acquainted with a leader in the city, so he asked him for a favor, and then released you from prison. Why did you The jumpers are the most active and active, but the least affected, and that's why."
"Oh, it turned out that it was Dr. Cui and his father who saved me," Qiu Jingping was deeply moved, "My God, I owe someone a big favor, how can I repay such a big favor."
"The kindness of the family is purely for helping us, and you don't want anything in return." Qiu Yang said in his heart, it's easy to repay his kindness, just marry his son off.
"They think so, but we feel sorry for it. Don't say anything else, since you are working in your benefactor's company, you should work hard and don't make mistakes. If you find an opportunity, you must take them home Come and sit, our scenery is not bad, there is a reason to invite them."
"Got it. I suspect that the county paid you for the endorsement fee, and they always promote the beauty of their hometown." Qiu Yang joked.
"What kind of endorsement fees are needed to promote my hometown? I'm too light-hearted and can't do much. If I can have a big platform, I can't wait to promote it to the world."
"I know that Qiu Xiucai's love is in his hometown, and he has the world in mind," Qiu Yang paused, and then said, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
"Say."
"Didn't I fall in love with someone? Does the family have to behave or something?" Qiu Yang murmured.
"Lack of funds, right?" Hearing this tone, Qiu Jingping could guess with his toes that he must be with his girlfriend at ordinary times, the expenses are relatively high, and he is nervous about money.
"I don't need to worry about love expenses, I will solve it myself, don't waste your hard-earned money," Qiu Yang said with a smile, "Don't always think that I call you just to ask for money, your son is not that realistic Man, I also really want to chat with the handsome old man about life and literature."
"It's nice of you to think so. I'm flattered to be a scholar." Qiu Jingping was amused by his son. "Then do you want to talk to me about classical literature or modern poetry today?"
"Don't mention modern poetry to me. My scalp turns numb when I mention it. Your son doesn't have your understanding, and he can't understand the artistic conception of those long and short sentences. Today we will not talk about literature, but about secular life."
"Isn't it turning back to money?" Qiu Jingping snorted.
"I told you that I didn't ask you for funds this time. On the contrary, I pay the money and you spend it." Qiu Yang said sarcastically.
"This is really fresh, what do you mean?" Qiu Jingping was confused by his son's words.
"On the Mid-Autumn Festival, hold a banquet for me at home, and I will pay for the expenses of the banquet." Qiu Yang finally explained the purpose of calling today.
"What did you say? A banquet?" Qiu Jingping was more and more confused by his son's words.
"In my name, hold a banquet at home."
"Banquet?" Qiu Jingping finally understood, "There must be a reason to hold a banquet. Do you have any great events that deserve to be held?"
"Of course there is." Qiu Yang said cheerfully.
"What's the matter?" Qiu Jingping asked excitedly.
"I don't want to make it clear yet, you will know when you go home."
"If you don't tell me the truth, how can I talk about the banquet." Qiu Jingping felt itchy in his heart.Brat, if you want to get engaged, just tell me directly, this matter is too big, you have to make it clear before I can explain it.
"Don't ask so many questions. When I get home, you will know that the banquet is worthwhile. Your son can't ask you to do something inexplicable." Qiu Yang still refused to let go of the reason for the banquet.
"Son, I think you are insulting people. Based on your words, I will hold a banquet at home. This is not inexplicable, what can be considered inexplicable." Qiu Jingping raised his voice several octaves.
"Don't get excited, you, a great scholar, have always been gentle, refined, refined and refined. You are just like Mom, so you can see that a quilt is the same person." Qiu Yang continued to play tricks.
"Elegant people are sometimes pushed into a hurry. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. It is no problem to arrange a few tables of banquets, but there must be a clear reason." Qiu Jingping said harshly.
"How many banquets?" Qiu Yang refused, "A few banquets are not enough, I mean to hold such a large banquet, didn't the ancestors hold it when they celebrated their birthdays?"
"Isn't it just a few tables for entertaining relatives and friends, and no more than ten tables." Isn't that how engagement banquets are done?
"I don't want that kind of one, it's one from every household in the whole village."
"You mean a village banquet?" Qiu Jingping was stunned, "My little ancestor, what kind of happy event is there for a village banquet?"
"Of course it's a happy event. You just have to do what I say, and I guarantee that you won't blame me then, but if you don't do what I say, it will be too late to regret it." Qiu Yang played hard to get.
"Is it premeditated, are you giving an ultimatum?" Qiu Jingping stared angrily, "If I don't do what you say, will you sever the father-son relationship with me?"
"Oh, look at what the handsome scholar said, how strong is our relationship, how can we sever the relationship?" Qiu Yang said with a playful smile.
"Don't do this with me," Qiu Jingping couldn't hold back anymore, "If you don't confess to me, I will unilaterally announce that I will sever the father-son relationship with you, and I will publish a statement in the newspaper."
"Can I joke with you about getting the village banquet? It must be very important. However, we have to change the customs. Although every household invites the banquet, the gift money is not accepted." Qiu Yang said in a serious voice Beg.
"Engagement wine?" Seeing his son showing weakness, Qiu Jingping's heart softened.Engagement wine is usually a gathering of relatives and friends at home to introduce relatives on both sides, so there is no need to hold a village banquet.
"It's more important than that." Qiu Yang continued to play tricks.
"That's wedding wine." Qiu Jingping's heart almost jumped out.It is so grand to hold a wedding wine, and it is necessary to hold a village banquet, but it is unconventional not to accept a gift money.The co-author just said that I have a partner, and this is the reason for the family to behave well, but it is not justified to have a wedding wine without an engagement wine, ah, once you bring someone in, our family sees her for the first time, You just announce in public that she is your wife and ask everyone to accept it, that's not how it works.Even if our male elders have no objection, then for the female elders, it will be embarrassing. Wait..., it can't be that she is pregnant and married with a son, right?Thinking of this level, Qiu Jingping was so happy that he was about to float, hey, my ancestors bless me, I will be a grandfather as soon as my son gets married.
"It's okay if you want to understand it this way, and the importance of the matter is about the same." Qiu Yang said noncommittally.
"Son, is that Song Jiping's daughter?" Hearing what his son said, Qiu Jingping was very happy, but he had never seen his son bring anyone to the house. It happened so suddenly that he was a little caught off guard.Anyway, I let the family members look at the photos before, so they have a bottom line in their hearts. The problem is that he has not seen any photos of his daughter-in-law.
"It has nothing to do with her. This is the marriage destined for me by the Buddha in his previous life." Qiu Yangshen muttered.
"I don't have the ability to hold a village banquet. I have to ask your uncle to host it. He has experience." Hearing the word "marriage", Qiu Jingping felt confident and spoke freely.Well, since it is admitted that it is a wedding wine, it doesn't matter so much etiquette, and it's not a big deal to save the engagement procedure, just treat the in-laws well at the banquet, and just apologize and apologize.
"You don't need to pay for the expenses of the village banquet. Your mother and I can still afford the money." Although gift money is not accepted, the family can still afford the money for the village banquet.
"How embarrassing it is for you old people to spend money on my own affairs." Qiu Yang said hypocritically.
"You only need to make me and your mother happy, and we will pay any more money." Thinking of becoming a grandfather soon, Qiu Jingping was so happy that he wanted him to cut his body.
"Then you can put it on first, and I will return it to you when the time comes." Qiu Yang said in a very filial tone.
"Your mother and I are just a son like you, what do you want to pay back?" Qiu Jingping asked with a very proud look, "How many cars will the family prepare for when the time comes?"
"Car?" Qiu Yang was stunned, and immediately realized, "You just need to arrange the village banquet, don't worry about anything else, we will take the car there."
"Ah, are you ready for the convoy? Then what kind of relatives will come from the other party's family, and how many people will come?" Qiu Jingping quickly took out a pen from his pocket, and took out a notepad nearby, ready to write it down.
"Do you want to ask in such detail?" Qiu Yang stroked his forehead.I feel a little timid in my heart, isn't this way of teasing a scholar a bit too big?
"Nonsense, ask the other party's guests, we can prepare properly in terms of etiquette."
"Dad, I didn't say I wanted you to prepare wedding wine, I just said that its importance is the same as that of wedding wine." Qiu Yang wanted to bring him back to the scholar who was running away.
"Since the importance is the same, of course the etiquette is the same." I don't care whether you are engaged or married, anyway, I will treat it as your wedding wine. Aren't you feeling guilty in your heart that this happened so suddenly and not early? What’s the point of bringing someone to meet their relatives? Aren’t we afraid that we will be blamed? For me, the process is not important, as long as the result is satisfactory.
"Not many people," Qiu Yang laughed secretly, Qiu Xiucai, Qiu Xiucai, after all, you have fallen into my trap, "Only his father, his aunts, uncles, and nanny, we will go there in a car. That's enough. Don't ask any more questions, that's all I have on my side, as for what you should do, how big the scene will be, you can figure it out yourself."
"Then I'll tell you the truth, so you just have to be 120-hearted. The village banquet can be kept to your satisfaction. Your father still has this ability." With a nanny by his side, the father-in-law must be bigger than Song Jiping's official.
After Qiu Jingping pressed the phone, he ran downstairs like flying, calling Zhuang Huaying while running.
"Husband, your article has won a prize." Zhuang Huaying ran out of the mushroom house, never seeing her husband so excited.
"I'm happier than winning an award. Mom, we're going to hold a family meeting." Qiu Jingping said happily.
"What's the matter, tell me first." Zhuang Huaying also raised her heart.
"A Yang, A Yang is getting married."
"Marry? Marry... What kind of marriage? Marry something?" Zhuang Huaying was stunned.
"Nonsense, you must be marrying someone." Qiu Jingping said with blank eyes.
"Did you let him deceive you again? You've never seen him bring a girlfriend to your door. Who would believe you when he suddenly said that you were going to get married?" Zhuang Huaying was very calm.
"If you haven't brought it home, you don't necessarily have it. Don't you just want to give us a surprise?" Qiu Jingping waved his hand and said, "Don't ask so many questions. I have to tell my elder brother that we will have a meeting at home tonight."
"Are you sure what he said is getting married?" Zhuang Huaying was still not at ease.
"Of course, he wants us to hold a village banquet," Qiu Jingping said happily, "I have explained everything to me."
"Hold a village banquet, my mother, uh, when?" Zhuang Huaying's jaw almost dropped from shock.
"On Mid-Autumn Festival, don't worry, there will be time."
"Husband, what's the use of holding a village banquet for an engagement? Why don't you invite relatives from both parties to meet and prepare the bride's bride price?" Zhuang Huaying reminded.
"I heard what Ah Yang meant to get married without getting engaged. I also thought about it. The engagement process is saved, and we don't care about the bride price. It will be the same at the wedding banquet."
"Get married directly? Husband, are you talking in your sleep?" Zhuang Huaying couldn't believe it.
"I suspect," Qiu Jingping said mysteriously, "his girlfriend is already pregnant, and they are marrying a child."
"Do I know who the person who rescued you from prison in 06 is?"
"Ah! Really? That's great, who is it?" Qiu Jingping didn't need to pretend anymore, he really jumped up.
"Fate, it's really predestined by the heavens, and it won't work if you don't believe in the arrangements of the heavens."
"Okay, okay, I believe it is a fate arranged by God, so you just tell me who is doing it, and is it related to our family?" Apart from relatives, Qiu Jingping really can't think of anyone who would be so sincere to save Own.
"Doctor Cui, do you know who it is?"
"Stop talking nonsense, of course I know who it is, and it is our family's great benefactor."
"No, it's your benefactor. To me, it's my pawn." Qiu Yang emphasized again.
"You are more handsome than me, you can say whatever you want." Qiu Jingping rolled his eyes anxiously.
