The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 184, The Wedding Banquet

The Yuan family's mother and daughter cried so much that they were teary-eyed.
It was also the first time Zhao Guobing saw this scene, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to pull his uncle and sister-in-law who were standing aside to help comfort his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.

After comforting for a long time, after the two mothers had cried enough, Zhao Guobing took his daughter-in-law from the mother-in-law and left the house.

Li Weiguo and the others who were waiting at the door were relieved when they saw this, and they didn't need to say hello. They hurried forward and took the bride's things from the Yuan family. Come on, a big boy, and move all the things in two or three strokes.

After receiving the bride and leaving the gate of the courtyard, Li Weiguo and others worked together to tie things to the back seat of the bicycle.

When we came, there were eight cars with people number [-] and [-]. When we went back, the back seats of the four cars were covered with dowry. Fortunately, the [-] bars are strong enough these days, so it is no problem for a car to accommodate several people. Li Weiguo and the others A group of big and small guys squeezed together and still could sit down.

After they were done, they each got into the car. Zhao Guobing and his wife said goodbye to Yuan's parents and Yuan's mother respectively. Under the eyes of the Yuan family's reluctance, the group left in a hurry.

When we returned to Zhao's courtyard, many people had already gathered at the old Zhao's house, and everyone was waiting at the door, looking forward to it.

As soon as the wedding reception team stopped at the door, there was warm applause from all around. The young couple got out of the car, thanked everyone, and kept taking out candies from their satchels to distribute candies to the neighbors who came to congratulate them. After walking all the way, he entered the courtyard surrounded by people.

After all the onlookers at the gate had entered, Li Weiguo and his group of hard-working people tried their best to unload the dowry from the back seat of the car, and then ran into the new house with their things on their backs.

It didn't take long for the wedding to begin. In the main room of the west wing of the second courtyard, the young couple stood in the center of the main room, surrounded by Zhao's parents, Zhao's mother, relatives and friends.

There are no complicated procedures. After the staff of the street office took out the couple's marriage certificate and read it out in public, the relationship between husband and wife was established.

The marriage certificate of this era is said to be a certificate, but it is actually a thin piece of color-printed paper, similar to a certificate of merit, on which are written the names, gender, and age of both the man and the woman. According to the regulations, this certificate is issued, and then the seal of the district chief and street director is below, which is very simple.

After reading the certificate, Zhao Guobing and his wife bowed three times to the portrait of the great man, and then bowed to Zhao's parents and Zhao's mother for tea, and the wedding was considered complete.

After witnessing the wedding, the spectators left after receiving the wedding candies.

Materials are really scarce these days. Even though the Zhao family is in good condition, they can't invite all the neighbors to the wedding banquet. They can only invite one person from each family to the wedding banquet as a token.

Therefore, only six tables were prepared for the wedding banquet, and two tables were set up in the front yard. They were the heads of each household and respected elders in the surrounding neighborhood.

The second entrance courtyard is larger, and there are four tables, two tables for relatives and two tables for friends.

There are 12 people per table, and there are no.

After everyone was seated, the uncle who was in charge of hosting the wedding banquet greeted, and the silly column moved, and five or six aunts began to serve dishes on the table with large trays.

There are thirteen dishes in total, eight hot dishes and five cold dishes. The vegetarian dish is served at the beginning, followed by four hard dishes, braised rabbit, Sixi meatballs, Dongpo elbow, and braised pork.

The staple food is Erhe noodle steamed buns, but no matter how much there is, there is only one per person. There is also a pot of steamed sweet potatoes and steamed buns, and each person can only share one. If you are not full, you will eat more.

There is no way, after all, there is a ration of food per person per month, if you really dare to manage enough, someone will come to ask Dad Zhao to inspect it tomorrow.

As far as today's rations are concerned, it was saved by the Zhao family's frugality.

It didn't take long for the thirteen dishes to be prepared.

Good guy, as soon as this meat dish was served, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat, which made all the guests present hungry.

At such a time when supplies were so scarce, the Zhao family could offer such good things to entertain, and they insisted on getting them. The guests present all nodded and secretly praised the Zhao family for their grandeur.

At the main table, Dad Zhao, who was sitting next to Dad Yuan, glanced at his father-in-law's face, and was relieved when he saw his father-in-law was smiling. To be honest, he didn't expect this table today.

As early as when his father-in-law wanted to test Zhao Guobing, he had planned to help Zhao Guobing cheat.

Shame is shame, but it's better than screwing up isn't it.

After all, at six tables, Zhao Guobing is a young chicken who has just graduated and has not been working for a long time. Without the help of his family, how many connections can he have.

Later, Zhao Guobing confidently said that he had already done it, so don't worry, out of trust in his son, he didn't intervene too much, but he also made preparations for the next step. If Zhao Guobing didn't get it done when the time came, he would ask someone to send it Batch food for emergencies.

He never expected that Zhao Guobing would give him such a big surprise today, and now he was completely relieved.

Regardless of whether Zhao Guobing did it by himself or with the help of his friends, it is considered his ability. If his son is capable, how can he be unhappy as a father?

After the dishes were served, several aunts brought out bulk liquor, and poured a glass for each of the drinking gentlemen at the table. There was no more, so they could only taste it.

After the food and wine were served, the steward who was in charge of the meal simply said a few words. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the meat and vegetables, they had no intention of listening to him, so he stopped talking nonsense.

With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Open the table!"

Good guy, this is what I was waiting for.

As soon as the steward finished speaking, the big guy moved instantly, and the chopsticks were all aimed at the four meat dishes in the center of the table.

Swish Swish Swish. In less than 2 minutes, there are only four meat dishes left with a la carte juice
The situation at Li Weiguo's table was similar. He sat at a table with Zhou Can, Ding Guandong and other couples who were meeting their relatives. These guys hadn't seen meat for a long time. In the blink of an eye, the four meat dishes were gone. Even the gravy on the empty plate was not spared, it was dipped in a steamed bun, and the plate did not need to be washed.

This boy Zhou Bo has short hands, and he is not as fast as others in picking up vegetables. After eating a few pieces of meat, the meat and vegetables are gone. It’s great to have one plate per person.”

Zhou Can glared at him angrily: "You really dare to think, without looking at how many people, it would be nice to have a taste of meat, why do you want to enjoy it?"

"Hey. That's all I'm going to say." Zhou Bo smiled coyly, knowing that it was unrealistic, so he didn't have the nerve to continue talking nonsense.

Li Weiguo also felt that he hadn't eaten well and had no energy.

Mainly because the buddies at the same table are all masters. Some people had another piece in their mouths before they could swallow it. Before they could chew it well, they picked up another piece with the chopsticks in their hands. The chopsticks were used. Good guy, that's enough for a movie.

In this situation, how can you rob someone else?

Li Weiguo picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhou Can. He glanced around at the people who were eating vegetables and whispered to Zhou Can and his brother, "I'm not satisfied with it. Come to my place later and let Brother Zhu cook us another meal."

Speaking of which, Li Weiguo blinked at Zhou Can and Zhou Bo, signaling them to keep quiet and keep everything low-key.

When Zhou Can and Zhou Bo heard this, their eyes lit up and they nodded quickly.

This can be.

The three elder brothers finished the banquet hastily, and sat aside for a while. After Shazhu finished his work, he greeted Zhao Guobing and his wife, and pulled Shazhu to quickly change positions.

Before leaving, Zhao Guobing took Li Weiguo and Shazhu to express his gratitude, and sealed a big red envelope of ten yuan to each of them, as a thank you for their help.

As for the leftovers, Zhao Guobing wanted to give Shazhu some, but Li Weiguo didn't lack this, so he didn't let Shazhu ask for it, and gave it to the two helpers who came to help.

After leaving Zhao's courtyard, the group of four returned to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, and started the second round of small cooking.
