The He family was lively, and so was the Liu family. Liu Guangqi lived in his father-in-law's house after getting married, and today he came back with his wife and father-in-law's mother-in-law. Liu Haizhong also invited Yan Fugui to his house for a drink. Originally, he wanted to invite He Xiaotian, but He Xiaotian said that he couldn't leave because of He Yuzhu's celebration at home, so he gave up.
"Old Yan, what are you going to do with Jie Cheng's wedding?" When Liu Guangqi got married, Liu Haizhong also invited Sha Zhu to come over and take charge. He was not as bold as He Xiaotian, but he still invited people from various families in the courtyard.
"What can we do? Invite everyone in the courtyard!"
"Is he also in charge of Silly Pillar?"
"Yes, he is the only one with the best cooking skills in our courtyard. It will definitely be a face-saving thing for him to take charge."
"Too."
In fact, every family in the courtyard is willing to ask He Yuzhu to host any happy events, especially wedding banquets. He Yuzhu's cooking skills are good and he will definitely gain face in front of the woman's family.
The Yan family is also very busy today, busy decorating Yan Jiecheng's wedding room. The Yan family has three rooms. In order for Yan Jiecheng to get married, Yan Fugui used a separate room for him. Now Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang live in the same room, and Yan Fugui uses a curtain to separate a room in his room for Yan Jiedi to live in.
Yan Fugui regarded himself as a scholar, so he was very particular about his work. Liu Haizhong's wife was asked to help with the decoration of the wedding room and the wedding quilt, because Liu Haizhong's wife was a blessed person. There is no shortage of parents-in-law and children at home.
"Jie Cheng, although you are getting married, we still have to settle this account clearly. We don't count the wedding expenses, but it is better for us to settle the money you borrowed from me before you got married." Yan Fu There is nothing you can do about it. There are many children in the family. After Yan Jiecheng gets married, it will be Yan Jiefang's turn. In a few years, it will be Yan Jiefang. With his salary of forty-two dollars a month, it must be very difficult to marry his two sons, even if he doesn't count.
"Dad! Are you still settling accounts with me on this big day?"
"Brother, what you said is wrong. We agreed from the beginning. Just borrow it." Yan Jiefang quits his job. Although he gets paid from work, he still has to pay money to his family. The apprenticeship only works 22 a month, so he has to pay 10 yuan. Five yuan for food and five yuan for accommodation.
"That's right, we agreed to get the money at that time. You borrowed it from dad." Yan Jiekuang also said. He is still in school and all he uses is his father's money. In order to support Yan Jiecheng, the family has not eaten meat or fish for a long time.
"Okay, I did the math and found out that the person you're talking to borrowed a total of 135 yuan from me. Do you think it's correct?" Yan Fugui didn't care about that.
"How can there be so much? I remember I only borrowed forty yuan from you?"
"How long has it been since you paid for food and accommodation? Are you saying that your father made a miscalculation?" Third Aunt pointed out directly.
"Jie Cheng, you know our rules. After you work, you have to pay the food and accommodation fees to your family. You see, Jiefang has paid it on time every month. You, the big brother, have the nerve not to pay it? After you get married, , if you eat with us, you will pay for the food for two people, if you want to have a separate party, that's up to you."
"Okay, okay! From now on we will fight alone, and I will accept the one hundred and thirty-five yuan. From now on, I will give you ten yuan every month until it is paid back. Is this done?" Yan Jiecheng was also helpless.
"By the way, we will keep the money for the gift tomorrow. As for your wife's money, she will keep it." The third aunt added.
"What? Why? Why do you accept my wedding gift money?" Yan Jiecheng quit now. You know, he will invite the entire courtyard tomorrow. Even if a family receives only 30 cents as a gift, that's still five or six dollars.
"Why? We have accepted all the favors in the courtyard over the years. Did you accept it that time? Tomorrow you will receive the gift money from your colleagues, and you will accept it yourself in the future. Also, since you are married Well, that can be regarded as an independent branch. You can deal with the favors in the backyard by yourselves." The third aunt's words directly shut up Yan Jiecheng.
"By the way, the house you have over there is a public rental, and you have to pay rent to the street every month. It's only five yuan a month, and you have to pay this money yourself!" The third aunt calculated the accounts very carefully.
"ah?"
"Ah what? You don't even look at how big the house over there is. If we hadn't had so many children at home, the house on the street would have been rented to our family. Where can you rent such a big house now? Pay it back? "The third aunt replied unceremoniously. In fact, the third aunt and Yan Fugui thought about dividing the house over there into two rooms, so that Yan Jiefang would have a place to get married, and Yan Jiekuang would have a house when he got married. But Yan Jie Chengfei wanted the whole thing, which made the old couple very unhappy. In fact, it is not only the old couple who have opinions, but also Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.
Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and stopped talking. He didn't expect to get married and owe a lot of debt.
"Your dad and I haven't calculated your wedding gift yet! Aren't you satisfied? The Yu family has asked for a gift of sixty-six yuan!" The third aunt was really angry. Yan Jiecheng spent a lot of money on Yu Li. , and now you dare to ask for so much as a bride price. But what can be done? Who told Yan Jiecheng to fall in love with someone else? This bitter pill can only be swallowed by the old couple. You can't break up the marriage because of the bride price, right? The Yan family can’t afford to lose face like this!
"Okay, okay! That's it! I'm convinced!" Yan Jiecheng was so helpless that he wanted to go back after saying that.
"Today I let Xie Mine sleep with you, so I can help you get into bed. Don't forget to give Xie Mine a red envelope! And your second aunt is going to make your bed tonight, so remember to prepare a red envelope too. Happy candy, hi You also need to prepare cigarettes." Yan Fugui reminded Yan Jiecheng.
The meat must be rotten in the pot no matter what. Yan Fugui didn't want to give an advantage to outsiders, so he thought of asking Yan Jiekuang to help Yan Jiecheng press the bed. Not bothering the second master, he left the matter of making the bed to the second aunt.
In the evening, the Yan family prepared a table of warm house wine and invited Liu Haizhong and He Xiaotian to come over for a drink.
"One step into the bride's room, the host asked me to make the bed!"
"good!"
"Make the bed, be happy! Marry a man and a woman, and have a bridal chamber with candles and flowers!"
"good!"
"On the first floor I have mandarin ducks playing in the water, and on the second floor I have dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness!"
"good!"
"I have three branches of fish and water, and I have a long life of love and affection on the fourth branch!"
"good!"
"My fifth store will give birth to a son soon, and my sixth store will be full of children and grandchildren!"
"good!"
"My seventh shop will be together for a hundred years, and my eighth shop will last forever!"
"good!"
"My family in Jiupu is harmonious and beautiful, and I have a bright future in Shipu!"
"good!"
When the second aunt said something, the onlookers shouted "Hello!" It made the atmosphere in the room joyful.
"I wish the two newlyweds a new life, a new life, and eternal happiness!"
"good!"
The crowd burst into applause, and Yan Jiecheng quickly handed the red envelope, wedding candies, and wedding cigarettes to the second aunt. The third aunt was busy handing out candies to the onlookers, not more than one person.
