Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 90: Visiting to recognize one’s family
The lunch meal was very sumptuous, and with Yao Weijun’s occasional support, the family was no longer short of money.

Hot and cold dishes, liquor, beer, and soda are all placed on the Eight Immortals table.

Dou Lili had something on her mind and originally didn't plan to drink, but her third sister, who loved to drink several cups of white wine, enthusiastically persuaded her and drank half a bowl of white wine.

Ever since the third sister was a child, her grandma had dipped some white wine into her mouth, and as she grew older, she took Yao Weijun to steal grandma's wine and drink it.

After lunch, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Because they had to meet the Yu family in the evening, Yao Xiangui and his wife went back to the house first to pack and dress.

Grandma is still the same, going back to the house to take a nap at noon.

Because Yao Weijun was present, the second sister-in-law took the initiative to go to the dining room to wash the dishes.

Yao Weifang didn't care about what happened before and went to the dining room to help.

In the main room, Yao Weijun and Dou Lili were left alone again.

"Weijun, let's work together according to the plan you proposed. We have all the manpower available in the village, and we can teach them if they don't know how to do it. The main thing now is sewing machines and supplies, so I have to worry about you."

Dou Lili knew that Yao Weifang would definitely stay one night, and she had to rush back to the village, so when she saw that there was no one else in the house, she said straight to the point.

"It won't work in the next few days. Let's wait until I finish the wedding. After that, draft an agreement and write down the agreed content clearly."

Yao Weijun stretched his arms deliberately for a while, nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"The location is chosen in your village so that you can manage it at any time. This is no problem.

Then you have to pay more attention to the labor and materials used. When doing business, what matters is the profit. If the costs in all aspects are too high, then there is no need to continue doing it.

By the way, my third sister can't let her idle at home in the winter. She must be arranged to work at our place. You should take care of her more at ordinary times. Cooperating in business is not a trivial matter. I will go to you in a few days to find out the details. It’s time to confirm it! "

"Well, I guess once we start working together, my cousin sister-in-law will definitely not be able to stay idle, haha..."

Dou Lili smiled and nodded in agreement.

After the cooperation was initially settled, Dou Lili stood up and said goodbye. The whole family escorted her out of the hospital gate and watched her ride away on their bicycles.

"Okay, clean up the house, lock the door, and let's go to Junzi's new house!"

Yao Xiangui felt the envious looks from several directions on the street, and suddenly became proud. He stood at the door of the courtyard, waved his hands and said loudly.

Yao Weifang was also looking forward to it. Ever since he heard that Lao Wu was going to marry the most beautiful Yu Xiunan in the village, she acted like a landowner who had taken advantage of her. Yao Weijun wanted to fight her again.

Well, from the third sister's point of view, I am not quite worthy of Yu Xiunan.

The whole family walked towards the east end of the village in great numbers.

When meeting people from the village along the way, there was no need for Yao Weijun and the others to pick up the conversation. His father, Yao Xiangui, would take the initiative to greet them and hold them there endlessly.

"Come on, don't wait for my dad. With his energy, he can talk about storytelling if given a table!"

Yao Weifang shook his head speechlessly, pulling his mother Zhu Mei forward and taking the lead.

A group of five people went straight to the courtyard of the new house.

Yao Weifang was attracted by the huge courtyard before entering the door, with a look of disbelief on her face.

When she walked into the courtyard, she went to see the speculation workshop in the south courtyard, and had a completely intuitive feeling about the huge changes in the fifth Yao Weijun during this period.

For almost half an hour, she looked at Yao Weijun with eyes full of shock and surprise. She originally had a lot of questions to ask, but she didn't say the last sentence.

"Third sister, as long as you learn the art of clothing processing, I guarantee that you will be able to live in a yard like this soon. My brother-in-law knows how to burn a kiln. We can build one by ourselves in the future."

Yao Weijun whispered encouragement in the third sister's ear.

"Screw you, there's nothing you can do about your brother-in-law working in the kiln. If you can really make money, who will have to suffer through that!"

Yao Weifang gave him a blank look, but the expression on her face gradually became firmer.

Chuntao and Yao Weifang are similar in age. They were familiar with each other before they were married. When they met, they held hands and chatted for a few words.

"Sister-in-law, the work of the army is endless and happens every day. Don't tire yourself too much. Let's have some tea in the house."

Yao Weifang went to see her sister-in-law and said with a smile when she saw that the latter was very busy.

"Wei Fang is here." The sister-in-law smiled and continued busy with her work, saying: "I'm not thirsty. You go and sit in the room quickly and don't worry about me."

Yao Weifang knew her sister-in-law's temperament, so she walked out of the south courtyard without chatting for a few words.

The whole afternoon was spent by the whole family in joy and anticipation. At around three o'clock, Yao Weijun stopped the frying work in the south courtyard. Tonight, Xiu Nan's family came to visit. As the eldest sister-in-law, even if she was usually scared, Sit down, but you have to be present today.

"Wei Fang, please tell Junzi that the three of us will not eat here tonight and go home first."

After Chuntao helped pack the last bag of spiced peanuts, she found Yao Weifang and whispered.

"Don't bother me. You, Aunt Qiuhe, and Uncle Qixue are like each other on a normal day. It doesn't matter. I'll let Junzi talk to you later."

Yao Weifang was startled. She was a married daughter now, and her business was owned by Lao Wu. As for the workers' matters, it didn't matter what she said, so she immediately waved to Yao Weijun at the door of the house.

"Hey Wei Fang, don't bother Junzi with this little thing, I'll tell you the same thing, then let's go!"

After Chuntao finished speaking with a smile, she called Uncle Qi Xue and Aunt Qiuhe to walk towards the courtyard gate.

"Yes, Weijun's wife is going to meet her tonight. It's not appropriate for us to stay. Anyway, it's still early, so we won't stay here to eat."

Aunt Qiuhe turned around and said polite words, and the three of them went out. "Why did Sister Chuntao and the others leave? I was thinking of staying and eating together in the evening."

At this time, Yao Weijun came closer and said softly.

"I'm afraid it will cause trouble to you." Yao Weifang pondered slightly, then turned and walked to the side room to help grandma choose vegetables.

As dusk began to rise, Xiao Hua, Li Wen, and Li Wu were chattering and having fun in the yard. The whole family's faces were filled with excitement, and they were waiting for Yu Xiunan's family to come to their door.

Soon, there was a burst of laughter outside, and Aunt Liu Cui, as the matchmaker, walked in first.

"Brother dignitaries, guards, and high-ranking guests are here! Haha..."

At this time, Yao Weijun was following his father, and his family had already arrived in the yard.

"His aunt is tired. Please excuse me. Please treat me as a distinguished guest and come to the table!"

Yao Xiangui had already had experience in this area. According to the etiquette of the village, he laughed and said loudly with enthusiasm.

When the woman agrees to recognize her family, this is equivalent to the marriage being settled in the village. After the banquet, the two families can call each other in-laws.

This is different from later generations in the city, where the in-laws do not wait until the wedding is held. When getting married in the countryside, etiquette is important. Although the old three letters and six betrothals have been abolished, there are still many rules.

For example, when the matchmaker brings the girl's family to the door, there is a saying in the opening remarks. The boy's parents must shout out the words "We are honoring our distinguished guests, come and have a seat at the table." Only then will the girl's family, accompanied by the matchmaker, enter the yard.

"Brother Xiangui, I wish you congratulations in advance! Haha..."

After Aunt Liu Cui said with a smile, she immediately turned around and left the yard again.

Soon, Yu Xiunan, accompanied by her, walked in with a shy face.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.

Her pretty face is rosy, her hair is shawl-shouldered, her black eyebrows are as delicate as a silhouette, and her beautiful eyes are as clear and pure as water. Today, she specially put on the dark dress Yao Weijun bought for her, which made her tall and slim figure stand out. Beautiful yet charming.

Yingying walked shyly, like a beautiful flower in full bloom, radiant.

"Junzi, why are you still standing there? Take Xiunan into the house quickly."

Yao Weifang nudged her fifth child with her elbow and signaled with a smile.

She was afraid that she would not entertain such a beautiful sister-in-law well and let her in-laws single out her husband.

"Aunt Cui, I'll take Xiunan into the house first."

Yao Weijun was also shocked by Yu Xiunan's beauty. He calmed down, smiled at Aunt Liu Cui, and then directly took Yu Xiunan's hand and went to the main room.

"Hahaha..." Aunt Liu Cui covered her mouth and snickered when she saw this, and at this time, Yu Liquan's family also entered the yard.

Mr. and Mrs. Yu Liquan and Mr. and Mrs. Yu Xiufeng came with their children. They greeted Yao Xiangui politely as soon as they entered the door.

Yao Weijun and Yu Xiunan, who had already entered the room at this time, did not sit on the chairs immediately, but looked at each other and smiled sweetly in tacit understanding.

"Guardian, I'm so nervous!"

Yu Xiunan broke away, covered her chest and whispered.

It can be seen that she is indeed very nervous, and even her breathing is a little accelerated.

"Don't be afraid, it's nothing. Just treat it as a formality. Aunt Cui will help you later. Besides, it's not like you haven't met my family before, so it won't be a big deal!"

Yao Weijun comforted softly and pulled Yu Xiunan to sit on the chair.

……

"Let's not leave it here, let's go inside!"

At this time, the two families were still chatting enthusiastically in the yard, and Aunt Liu Cui was urging them with a smile.

Even though she is only in her 40s, she is considered an old matchmaker, and she is very familiar with controlling such situations.

"Haha...his aunt is right, brother Liquan, please!"

"Brother, please invite me too!"

The parents on both sides were polite to each other and led the two families into the house one after another.

According to etiquette, the guests and hosts were seated.

There were two Eight Immortals tables in the room. On one of the main seats facing the door, Yu Liquan and his wife were seated. Yao Xiangui and his wife were accompanying them respectively. Next down, Yao Weijun and Yu Xiunan were sitting opposite each other.

Yu Xiufeng sat at the side table, and Aunt Liu Cui, as the matchmaker, held the table near the door. Eight people were fully seated.

On the other Eight Immortals table, grandma and Yu Xiunan's sister-in-law were sitting at the main seats, accompanied by the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and Yao Weifang.

Juniors like Li Wen and Li Wu also came to the banquet and sat on the outside.

After the food and drinks were served, Aunt Liu Cui looked at Yao Weijun and Yu Xiunan with a smile.

According to etiquette, the banquet can officially begin after they change their words.
