Lucky husband

The Hong family married into Shanghe Village two years ago. She was beautiful, and her natal family was considered well-to-do, but when she was about to get engaged, her father fell into a field while drinking and broke his leg. up.

The family lost its main labor force, and had to see a doctor and take medicine for her father. The savings would be almost exhausted, and then she would get married and her younger brother would marry a wife.

At this time, if her natal family is willing to sell an acre of land, no matter it is a dowry or a bride price, they can easily give it away, but her parents are not willing to sell the land, thinking that after raising their daughter for so many years, they should let her contribute to the family .

Since Hong Shi was ten years old, because her facial features have gradually grown and become more and more beautiful, many people said that she will definitely be able to marry a good man and live a good life in the future. They never thought that her parents would give her brother's dowry. She was "sold".

At the beginning, Hong's in-laws gave a lot of dowry gifts to marry this beautiful daughter-in-law. As a result, when Hong married to Shanghe Village, she brought two clothes to change clothes. This made Hong's mother-in-law very dissatisfied and made her unable to stand upright , being pressured by her mother-in-law to work every day.

The originally pretty face became rough because of too much work, and her husband became more and more indifferent to her. Every time she went to the river to wash clothes and looked at the face reflected in the water, she couldn't help feeling resentful .

Not long after Hong married into Shanghe Village, the news of Bai Ting and Li Mingde's engagement spread. Hong secretly looked at Li Mingde, and Li Mingjin perfectly fit her previous fantasy.

For this reason, the Hong family specifically inquired about Bai Ting's situation, and found that Bai Ting was actually an old woman. Her family was poor and her mother died. Apart from being good-looking, she had nothing to offer.

Driven by jealousy, the Hong family began to plan to destroy Bai Ting's reputation. Most of the bad things about Bai Ting in the village were spread by her. Unexpectedly, she successfully married into the Li family.

When the two faced each other, it was clear that Ting was two or three years older than Hong Shi, but when they stood together, Hong Shi looked like an older sister, while Bai Ting looked more like a younger sister, which made Hong Shi feel that her heart was all because of Jealousy burned.

But there was no way to send it out, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Even though their eyes were bloodshot and their palms were pierced by nails, Hong still forcefully forced a smile: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xiucai. I have no way to talk nonsense, don't worry, I won't do it in the future."

"Well, as long as you know it yourself, don't talk if you don't have a handle on your mouth, no one will treat you as a dumb." After listening to Bai Ting, she replied with a mocking expression.

Who is spreading her reputation? Bai Ting knows in her heart. She doesn't know how she provoked the Hong family. Forget about the past. Today, on her wedding day, this person is still talking nonsense. If she still doesn't say anything, these People are afraid that they really want to treat her as a soft persimmon.

Hong's face turned red, white, and blue. His complexion was as rich as a palette. When the wives apologized before, Bai Ting looked calm, but she didn't mock her. When it was her turn, she said that. Didn't she think that Her natal family is not capable, and her husband's family doesn't like her, so she is easy to bully.

Unable to hold back and glared at Bai Ting fiercely, Hong shi held back tears and ran out. The remaining daughters-in-law look at me and I look at you, and decide whether they should leave or stay now. Two sentences.

Bai Ting didn't bother to listen to what they had to say, so she opened her mouth to see off the guests directly: "The banquet is about to begin. If you don't go, sisters-in-law, I'm afraid there will be no room. I have everything in this room, except that there is nothing to eat to entertain everyone."

After hearing this, no matter how thick-skinned everyone was, they were ashamed to stay, not to mention they themselves didn't want to stay, so they left in a rush after saying a few auspicious words in embarrassment.

Li Mingjin outside the door watched them leave, because he lowered his head, so no one knew what his expression was, what he was thinking, and they were too embarrassed to look at him.

Li Mingjin heard all the movement in the room just now, because Bai Ting didn't deliberately lower her voice, Li Mingjin was just thinking about people's hearts and jealousy at this moment, which was more uncomfortable than what he knew before.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyun, who hadn't seen her son for a long time, came over, took away Li Mingjin who was still in a daze, and asked him in a low voice what he was doing in the yard because the banquet was about to begin.

Li Mingjin felt a little depressed at this time, and he replied to Jiang Zhiyun: "Something happened just now, mother, I will tell you later."

Jiang Zhiyun saw that he seemed to be really busy and was not looking for an excuse to hide from laziness, so she didn't talk about him anymore, but told him not to have this expression when he went out for a while, today is a good day for Li Mingde, don't let outsiders have the opportunity to see the joke.

Of course Li Mingjin knew this, and when he and Jiang Zhiyun walked out, he had already adjusted his expression, swept away the haze on his face just now, and happily greeted the people at the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

After the banquet, Li Mingjin and his family actually didn't have much to do, because the main thing was that the groom Li Mingde, accompanied by his father Li Chengzhi and younger brother Li Mingli, accepted everyone's blessings.

Originally, Li Chengshi, who was a real uncle, could also help block the wine, but after all, the Li family has been separated for so many years. Although the relationship between the brothers is still very good, there is a difference after all, so at this time Li Chengli and Li Chengshi both They each took their families and sat aside, taking care of the affairs on the table.

From the time the first course was served to Li Mingde and the others walking around each table, an hour passed so quickly, and they were finally able to rest for a while.

The old man Li and the old lady Li left a place for them to eat, and the father and son, who were full of wine, sat down, their cheeks were flushed, their eyes were slightly slack, and they spoke slowly.

The hangover soup that had been cooking in the kitchen of the Li family came in handy at this time. Li Mingjin, Li Mingxia and Li Mingyue went back to the yard together and brought out three bowls of hangover soup.

Now that they knew that they would be drunk today, the Li family secretly mixed a lot of water into the wine specially prepared for them. It seemed that they drank a lot, but it was actually okay, not particularly intoxicating.

After eating a bowl of hangover soup, the three of them, father and son, gradually calmed down, and ate the still warm stew with big mouthfuls of rice.

This is the good thing about getting married in summer, the food is not easy to cool down, Li Mingli got married in winter, while eating, he thought that he would have to ask his mother to reheat the food before eating, so as not to ruin his stomach.

Thinking of getting married, Li Mingli thought of his fiancée Miss Qu, his eyes suddenly drifted up, he buried his face in the rice bowl, and smirked as he planed the rice.

Seeing this, Li Mingjin thought that Li Mingli's wine hadn't sobered up, so he brought him a big bowl of sober up soup.

It took a long time to eat this meal at noon. After Li Mingde and the others ate a whole meal and basically filled their stomachs, the men outside who were still drinking and fisting were still shouting. When they are together, they gather to chat.

At this time, there is nothing to do with the bridegroom. Mrs. Li told him to go back to the new house quickly. He could simply wash up and change into clothes to accompany his wife.

After another hour or so, all the men who finally seized the opportunity to drink finally enjoyed themselves, and the wedding banquet was finally over. Looking at the leftovers on the table, Mrs. Li and her two daughters-in-law started to work again .

At this time, the women who were eating melon seeds and chatting just now took the initiative to help. The old rules, if anyone likes the food on the table, they can find their own belongings and take it away.

These years, the big fellows of the Li family have eaten at the banquet more than once, and they all know that the rules will not be messed up. They are saying that there will be many wedding banquets in the Li family in the future, so there is no need to offend the Li family for a bowl of food. Not happy.

Of course, even if there is no scramble on the surface, there is still a secret fight in private. If the food you like is taken away by others, the women who are smarter than monkeys will have to run on each other for a few words before they are reconciled. .

Li Mingjin had never been involved in these aftermaths before. He looked at these sister-in-laws, aunts, and mother-in-laws whom he thought were getting along very well. You stab me, and I answer you. It feels like opening the door to a new world.

After the things were packed, according to the booklet recorded before, each family took away their own things, and the Li family sent thanks.

People who have not lent out tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks will give two red cloth scarves. Those who have lent things not only have red cloth scarves, but depending on the number of things borrowed, they will be wrapped in different red envelopes. wait.

By the time all the foreign guests and villagers were sent away, it was mid-afternoon. If it was normal, Jiang Zhiyun and the others would have to start planning for dinner.

At this time, the wedding party has to settle the settlement with the master chef who invited to hold the spoon and his group. At this time, there is no business for the men. It is enough for the old lady Li to lead Bai Xiuhe, Jiang Zhiyun, Li Mingxia, and Li Mingjin to deal with it together.

The juniors were basically literate. Although Old Madam Li and Bai Xiuhe were illiterate, they had an abacus in their hearts, and they worked together to quickly settle the accounts. After giving them a big red envelope, they sent away the master in charge.

The east side of Shanghe Village finally returned to tranquility, only Li's own family, Bai Zhiwen's family and Li Erye's family who lived here were left.

Fortunately, everyone was very conscious when moving away their own things, and all the garbage on the ground was taken away. The empty space used by the wedding banquet basically didn't need to be cleaned by the Li family again, saving them effort.

Therefore, the last thing left is for the Li family to settle their own accounts.

How much was used for the banquet, how much money was spent, what was left over, and how much gift money was received back. These are all recorded in the book. One is for the convenience of their own family to check, and two. It is best to give gifts according to the number of gifts you are currently receiving.

Li Mingjin, who followed the whole process to help out, just felt a headache looking at the records on the account book. Under Jiang Zhiyun's supervision, he pulled himself together and did not make excuses to escape halfway.

After finishing everything, it was already the end of You hour, and the cooking smoke started to rise from the kitchen of the Li family.

At noon, there was an empty table that no one was eating. The villagers of Shanghe Village who came to eat at this table were embarrassed to pack it away and left it for the Li family, so this table of food is the Li family’s dinner tonight. .

At noon, there are many people and many things to do. As the masters of the banquet, the Li family actually did not eat well. At night, only their own family was left, so they were able to eat slowly and enjoy the time together as a family. .

The wine that Li Chengzhi, his father and son drank at noon was mixed with water, and it was bland and tasteless. There was no outsider toast at night, so they could finally drink normal wine.

So, Li Chengzhi opened a jar of good wine, and called the men at home to have a happy drink together.

Because he didn't know how to drink, Li Mingkang didn't sit at that table, but ran to his mother and brother to squeeze.

Li Mingjin glanced at the table with wine, then looked at Li Mingkang who was fighting for a braised lion head and Liming's chopsticks, and laughed at him: "Kang'er, why don't you go with dad and the others, look at them drinking You're so happy to drink it, don't you want to try it?"

The movements of Li Mingkang's hands slowed down a little because of Li Mingjin's words, and the last lion's head was snatched away by Li Mingyue. After one sip, it's spicy and choking, not good at all!"

"When did you drink?" Li Mingjin was surprised, why didn't he know that his younger brother drank secretly.

"It's the time when Big Brother and Big Brother Bai were admitted as a scholar. The third brother is too bad!" Thinking of how he felt uncomfortable for a long time after taking a big drink without knowing it, Li Mingkang glared at the unreliable third brother again. elder brother.

Li Mingli brought a bowl of wine to Li Mingkang, who didn't know the taste of wine, and told him that it was boiled water, and then Li Mingkang took a sip without hesitation.

Li Mingkang still clearly remembers the feeling after drinking that day. He can't understand why adults like this kind of wine that is not good at all, but the sweet sugar water is better.

Li Mingli noticed that Li Mingkang was looking at him, thinking that Li Mingkang had the experience of last time, and wanted to try wine again, so he cheerfully raised the wine bowl to Liming Kang, teasing him: "Kanger, if you want to drink, just sit here , Brother reserved the seat for you, and you also have the wine bowl and wine."

"I don't want to drink it!" Li Mingkang leaned back like a frightened kitten, as if he wanted to stay away from the wine Li Mingli was holding, and his face was full of rejection.

Seeing his little face of resistance, everyone smiled kindly, and the room was full of laughter.
