After an unknown amount of time, the wedding banquet was finally over. At Zhang Le's table, a group of friends started to leave one after another, feeling dizzy and smelling of alcohol.
Zhang Le was also swaying from drinking, and with the support of his bride, he walked slowly towards the upper main hall.
From the look on his face, he obviously drank to his heart's content and drank too much. His bride was struggling to support him, and he had to stop to take a breath after he had just walked a few steps.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan quickly put his cell phone into his pocket, trotted over, took over from Zhang Le's bride, and supported him.
Although Zhang Le has a strong body, his weight is not enough for Zhang Fan. He can easily lift it up like a child.
After all, the increase in physical strength to 6 points is no joke. It is not an exaggeration to describe the strength as infinite.
Zhang Le's bride was startled when she saw the sudden arrival of Zhang Fan. She obviously didn't expect it, and she didn't expect anyone to come up and help her.
"Xiao Le drank too much!" Zhang Le's bride smiled awkwardly and handed Zhang Le to Zhang Fan for support.
It was also at this time that Zhang Fan truly saw the appearance of the bride. I saw that the bride had a gentle face and looked extremely virtuous. She had a little baby fat, which made people think she was a woman who knew how to run a house.
No wonder the uncle's family agreed to this marriage. The bride seemed to know how to live a good life.
"It's okay, I'll just help him in!" Zhang Fan smiled slightly, showing a soft smile. As he smiled, his handsome face became sparkling under the sunlight, and the bride couldn't help but be in a trance.
Sensing the bride's strange behavior, Zhang Fan's heart suddenly tightened and he secretly said, "Fuck." This is his cousin's bride, and she is a new cousin-in-law. If she has any inexplicable affection for him, it will be against nature and unethical, but it must not be done.
Absolutely not. Zhang Fan didn't dare to look at the other party, he carried Zhang Le on his back and rushed into the main hall.
His speed was very fast, even with Zhang Le on his back. He was like a strong wind sweeping past, leaving the bride stunned.
...Zhang Le carried Zhang Le into the main hall. His uncle and the bride's parents immediately came over and asked why he drank so much.
Zhang Fan had no choice but to stand by and laugh awkwardly, unable to explain the reason. I’m just saying that maybe everyone is happy when they get married today and drinks an extra drink, which is normal.
Zhang Chuyou sighed with a headache, said hello to his in-laws, and helped Zhang Le inside to rest.
Zhang Fan originally wanted to help, but Zhang Chuyou refused and told him to wait outside. At the same time, the bride also walked in from outside.
She came to her parents with tears in her eyes and a look of reluctance. Obviously, all married girls will be extremely painful when they say goodbye to their parents, and it is difficult to let go of the family love in their hearts.
Once you get married, you change from a family member to a relative. Although it is cruel, it is an indisputable fact. Seeing their precious daughter getting married, her parents also covered their faces and cried, equally reluctant to give up.
Although I said I was reluctant to give up, I felt more relieved. Her youngest daughter also got married, and their greatest wish was fulfilled.
Zhang Fan looked at the reluctant farewell and didn't have much to say, but felt more sad in his heart.
Through the conversation between them, Zhang Fan also learned the bride's name. Although he saw the wedding photo poster at the gate, he did not see the bride's name because the people around him were gathered together.
The bride's name is Sun Shuli, she is 25 years old, three years older than her cousin Zhang Le.
As the saying goes, a female college student holds a gold nugget in her junior year, and a female college student in her 30s receives a fortune. It's quite auspicious and a perfect match. While the three of them were talking, Zhang Chuyou also walked out of the back room.
Seeing his uncle, Zhang Fan knew that he had nothing to do now, so he hurried out of the main hall and went outside to help clean up.
Before leaving, his uncle and Sun Shuli's parents started talking again. As for what they said, Zhang Fan didn't know. He wasn't getting married, so it was useless to care so much.
Unknowingly, in the blink of an eye, the day passed by in a hurry. All the relatives and friends who came to the banquet went back to their homes and left.
Sun Shuli's parents left in the evening. As they left, Zhang Fan suffered a lot. All the hard work of moving tables, stacking chairs, and sweeping the yard was left in his hands.
His uncle Zhang Chuyou and his aunt Liu Guilan were still busy in the room counting how much money they had collected today. This time they got married and almost lost nearly half of their family fortune.
I heard that the bride price alone for the woman is 330,000 yuan, which is almost as much as the price of the bride price in Dajiang City. The betrothal gifts in Dajiang City are the highest in the country, which directly dissuades many people from getting married.
In addition to the betrothal gift of 330,000 yuan, there are also some miscellaneous expenses, which cost about more than 500,000 yuan.
This time, no matter what, I have to get my share of the money back. His uncle and aunt were busy counting money, but his cousin Zhang Tian and his girlfriend Qi Yunhui did not live at home. They seemed to have gone to the county to rent a hotel.
The time now is 22:30 in the evening, and his cousin Zhang Le's house has also turned off the lights early, seemingly starting the wedding ceremony.
They were all busy with their own affairs, but Zhang Fan was the only one who was still dealing with the trouble. By the time Zhang Fan had finished cleaning up, it was almost 23:00 in the evening.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he sat down on the stool. Good guy, this cleaning and tidying up the scene is more tiring than subduing the evil ghosts.
If his physical strength hadn't been increased to 6 points, he would have been exhausted long ago. Calculating the time, tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, what kind of New Year's couplets and door gods should be posted.
In fact, the New Year does not mean much in Zhang Fan's eyes. In previous years, he would watch TV alone in the house and rarely go out.
I just occasionally follow my uncle and the others to the town to visit temple fairs, go to markets and so on. After extinguishing the lights in the courtyard, Zhang Fan walked into the main hall and told his uncle Zhang Chuyou and the others to pack up, then returned to his room to prepare for bed.
On this day, I obviously didn't do much, but I was extremely tired and almost exhausted. Lying on the bed, Zhang Fan turned on his phone, only to find that Ma Ling'er sent him a message at 17:00, asking him where he had been and saying that he planned to go shopping with him.
At 17 o'clock, Zhang Fan was busy and couldn't find the mood to pay attention to WeChat. I replied to Ma Ling'er that I had recently returned to my hometown, and closed WeChat.
Just when Zhang Fan was about to go to bed, he couldn't let go of Chu Chu, so he summoned Jin Cuihua. He used the [next door window] ability to return to the wealthy palace.
After helping Chu Chu clean up and talking to Feng Ling and the others for a while, he returned to his uncle's house.
After covering himself with the quilt, he fell asleep not long after. The next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, and Zhang Fan opened his eyes in a daze.
Now that I'm back to my hometown, it's not like living alone in Dadong City, so sleeping in is not allowed.
In addition, today is New Year's Eve, Zhang Chuyou and the others got up very early, getting up at around six o'clock. Even Zhang Le and his wife, who had just gone through the wedding night last night, were no exception. They got up very early.
Zhang Fan stretched out, boiled a pot of hot water from the kitchen, washed his face quickly, and walked out.
When he came outside, Zhang Chuyou took him aside alone and asked him why he just gave him 10,000 yuan, so he just gave him 500 yuan. This 10,000 yuan is too much, you are making money. Not easy either.
After hearing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly shied away, saying that he should keep it as long as he took it. Zhang Le had just gotten married and there would be a lot of money to spend in the future.
After refusing for a long time, Zhang Chuyou still couldn't resist Zhang Fan's persistence and had no choice but to accept. After breakfast, Zhang Fan and the others started getting ready to post couplets and clean up the house. At about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tian and his girlfriend slowly walked over.
Zhang Tian's girlfriend Qi Yunhui, with a shy look on her face, held Zhang Tian's arm and smiled playfully. Her skin was very good, fair and tender, and her smile was even more breathtakingly beautiful. Looking around, the eyes of some unmarried men passing by were straightened.
Feeling the fiery gaze coming from him, Zhang Tian didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he seemed extremely proud.
Qi Yunhui is a wealthy woman. Her family is very rich, and her father is the chairman of a certain company.
To be honest, being able to find such a beautiful girlfriend like Qi Yunhui was truly a blessing he had gained in his previous life.
Liu Guilan was the happiest person with the arrival of Zhang and Tian. His eldest son is very promising and can be said to be the most promising person in the entire Xianghua Village.
Not only did he get admitted to a prestigious university, he also continued his studies, got a doctorate, and is currently working abroad.
Her younger son Zhang Le, who was not up to par with her, and Zhang Fan both had to be promising. Whenever she thinks of her eldest son Zhang Tian, Liu Guilan always has a proud smile on her face.
"Tiantian, you guys are back?!"
"You haven't eaten yet. Mom will prepare something for you!" Liu Guilan put the apron she had just taken off back on and hurried into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Zhang Fan saw this scene from the side, and his heart was filled with complicated thoughts. Sure enough, it was his precious son. When he saw that he hadn't eaten, he immediately went to prepare. If he hadn't eaten, Liu Guilan probably wouldn't have even said anything.
Zhang Fan had nothing to say about this. Compared to Zhang Tian and his family, he was just an outsider who was dependent on others.
Not only when eating, but also when talking, one has to be careful not to speak too loudly. Ever since he was a child, he has known better than others what it means to observe words and emotions.
After saying hello to Zhang Tian, Zhang Fan said "go out to play" and hurried out. Looking at Zhang Fan's leaving figure, Zhang Tian felt indescribably complicated and sad in his heart.
He admitted that in the past, he hated Zhang Fan, and even wished that his parents would kick him out.
But it wasn't until I entered the society, started working, had a wider horizon, and came into contact with more people of all kinds that I slowly realized Zhang Fan's difficulty and the indescribable sadness.
It turns out that his life has not been easy for so many years. As time goes by, everyone's character will undergo tremendous changes and transformations, and their quality and accomplishments will be greatly improved, even Zhang Tian is no exception.
He has become more mature, more stable, and no longer has the youthful impulse. When he came back this time, he actually wanted to do something to help Zhang Fan.
"Xiaotian, are you worried?" Qi Yunhui saw Zhang Tian's thoughts and couldn't help asking.
"No...it's nothing." Zhang Tian came back to his senses and said quickly. ...
