"Because the woman's uncle has not arrived yet, the banquet has been delayed." The staff member said politely that he was sent by Ji Mingze to inform.
After that, he added: "We have arranged some food for everyone first. Mr. Ji asked everyone to use some first."
The aunt said quickly: "Then Xing Xing, hurry up and eat something first."
The staff quickly pushed the dining cart over, and grandma and aunt asked everyone to eat a little first, especially Yu Xun and Ji Minghao, as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen who wanted to drink with them. It would take them a while to toast so many tables of guests. Only then can we have food.
So, everyone sat down and had something to eat first. Now Yu Xun also felt hungry, and it was already twelve o'clock.
Outside, Liu Ya's brows were burning with anxiety at this moment.
The banquet was about to begin, and all the male guests had already arrived, and now only the woman and her eldest brother's family were left.
Liu Ya hurriedly walked aside to call her eldest brother's family.
"Where are you?" Liu Ya asked immediately after the call was made.
"We just got off the train."
"What, you're just getting off the train now?" Liu Ya was so furious when she heard this. If it weren't for this occasion, she would have scolded her loudly, "Then you should take a taxi now. The banquet will start soon. The whole audience is waiting for you. "
Her eldest brother said on the phone: "I know, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Ya walked back.
Ye Bufan asked her: "How to say it."
"As soon as we got off the train, I asked them to take a taxi."
Ye Bufan said: "Why didn't you hurry them up earlier? Why are they late for such an important day today?"
No wonder Ye Bufan frowned, his brother-in-law and his family were the principal relatives today, and they couldn't hold a banquet without them.
Today, there is such a big gap between the men and women who are getting married. Everything is going well so far, but nothing goes wrong and the Ji family will be embarrassed as well.
Now the performances on the stage have been completed, and the person in charge of the banquet has just come to ask questions. However, after waiting for twenty minutes, no one has come, and the place gradually becomes a little commotion.
Everyone was asking what happened.
Chen Shuyi's expression has changed. What's going on with this woman's relative? She is originally from a small family. If the wedding goes smoothly, others will have less to talk about.
But now that there are so many people in the audience waiting for one guest, how much dignity are they relying on?
Ji Mingze has already gone to communicate with the emcee team and asked them to continue the show.
The team then put on the show again. Fortunately, they hired the most professional team with experience in on-the-spot response, so the show could be arranged casually.
The uncle's family was still on the way in the car at this time. They didn't bother to take a taxi. Instead, they took a motorcycle. The three-wheeler took the whole family on board.
The uncle complained to his aunt: "I asked you to arrive yesterday, but you have to catch the early train today."
My aunt said: "It's okay, it's just a marriage, and it's not Chu Chu's marriage. Then Yu Xun got pregnant out of wedlock and couldn't go to college. What kind of good family can she marry?"
We are uncle and aunt today, who is the oldest on the wedding day? That's the bride's uncle!
As the old saying goes, the mother is the uncle, so what's the point of asking them to wait? Huh, if it makes us unhappy, I won't agree to get married. "
Aunt said proudly.
When rural people hold a wedding banquet, if the uncle is in trouble, the man must satisfy any request of the uncle.
There are also cases where the uncle is not happy and refuses to let the bride get married.
Just then, there was a traffic jam.
The driver stopped, and at the same time, Liu Ya called again, and she was so angry that she asked if they had arrived.
The uncle quickly said: "It's almost here, it's almost here."
After hanging up the phone, the driver asked: "There's a traffic jam. Can we go another way?"
The uncle immediately said: "Change the road, change the road."
The driver said: "Five yuan extra."
Then the motorcycle driver changed the route and took them all the way to the roadside outside the hotel. However, there was an argument when paying.
"We just agreed on fifteen yuan, why do you want twenty yuan now?"
"Sister, fifteen yuan means no detour. There was a traffic jam just now and I asked you if you wanted to detour. You said detour."
"Then you didn't say you'd have to pay more for taking a detour?"
"Why didn't I say that? I specifically said it would be an extra five dollars."
"Then we didn't hear anything. Anyway, I don't recognize the money."
"Why should I give you a detour if you don't pay extra? If the detour is longer, the fuel will be more expensive."
"It's only fifteen yuan. Do you want it?"
My aunt and the driver were having a heated argument. Now my aunt dropped fifteen yuan and left, but was stopped by the driver on his bicycle.
"Fuck, you won't pay for the ride?"
The driver spoke with a local accent and shouted: "You can't leave without paying. Damn it, I've never seen this kind of thing, where you don't pay for the ride."
And when he yelled like this, pedestrians on the roadside looked over one after another, and those who were joining in the fun stopped to watch.
In the hotel, it is almost one o'clock, and the banquet has not started yet. Although the show is still going on, no matter how calm the guests are, they can't wait any longer. The banquet hasn't started yet at one o'clock?
The waiters were also talking a lot.
"This dish is ready on time, and it will be cold in a while."
"That's right, this woman is very arrogant. She's just trying to show off here, and she doesn't even care about the family she's marrying into."
"That's right, it's really a shame. I thought the wedding banquet has been held today and it's a sure thing, so I thought this marriage couldn't be an affair, right?"
"It's really hard to see a villain succeed."
“Poor people have poor quality.”
The waiters were talking, and some of the guests had already gone to Chen Shuyi, Ji Zhengting, and Ji's grandparents to express their apologies.
I have something to do and I have to leave first. I can’t wait for the dinner to begin.
Chen Shuyi, Ji Zhengting, and Grandpa and Grandma Ji all stood up and said sorry to each other.
Chen Shuyi looked apologetic: "I'm so sorry, I left without even eating."
The other party smiled and said: "I am the one who should be sorry. I really have something to do, otherwise I would have to finish eating before leaving."
Both parties apologized to each other, and then the guest left, and of course the guest was a very important person.
Looking around, whoever comes today is not a character!
Those in business, those in politics.
The person who just left is an official in the political arena. It is for such a person that their time is more precious, and every hour has different arrangements.
How could people like them sit here and wait? Waiting for more than an hour has already given Ji Zhengting's family face.
As soon as this guest left, several more guests came to apologize and wanted to leave first, and they were also respectable people.
Now Chen Shuyi, Ji Zhengting, Ji's grandparents all had apologetic smiles on their faces, and personally sent the guests to the door of the hotel.
After returning from the delivery, the expression on Chen Shuyi's face was almost unbearable. Liu Ya happened to come over, and she immediately stopped her and said:
"My mother-in-law, please call your uncle again. The whole place is waiting for you."
