Liu Lin pouted, very dissatisfied with what Aunt Liu said yesterday, and then said: "Brother Fushun got married a few days ago. He meant to come back to hold a banquet, so Aunt Liu came back early to discuss it with my father. , said he wanted to kill a few pigs and put them on a flowing table for three days. "
"It's really rich." Liu Xiaofang was surprised. It was incredible how much money it cost to set up a running water banquet for three days.
"Then when will they come back." Boss Liu Yu doesn't want to. She won't care if it lasts for ten days. Don't quarrel with her mother again this time when she comes back.
"Just today and tomorrow! Aunt Liu said that we don't need the help of the villagers and just eat ready-made food. Brother Fushun invited the chef from the restaurant in the city to make noodles." Liu Lin said, trying his best to imitate the tone of Mrs. Liu yesterday, He is so high up there that his eyes seem to be on the top of his head, which means that the chefs in the city cook amazing delicacies from the mountains and seas, while the noodles made by the country people are just for the pigs.
Aunt Liu, who came back yesterday, was surrounded by horse-drawn carriages and maids and servants. Her eyes were dazzled by the golden pearls in her bun. She stood at the door and waited for her mother to greet her in person before she would step in. When she entered the door, she would complain that this place was not clean and that there was something there. There was a peculiar smell, and she also talked about the antique vases she had in her home now, and the rare items they could never afford in their lifetime. Her mother was so angry that she blushed at that time. The farmers were feeding pigs and raising a few chickens and ducks in the yard. How could it not smell bad? Yes, she was not as good as theirs before, but now she is like a city person who thinks she is great, while country people look down on country people.
"It will be exciting then." Liu Xiaofang said, and gave Liu Yu a special look. The meaning was as obvious as possible, as if her mother had quarreled with Mrs. Liu again.
"Is your brother Fushun's surname Liu?" Jiang Xiangyuan asked stupidly.
"I saw a wedding procession in the city five days ago. I heard that the groom's name is Liu Fushun, who is your cousin." Jiang Xiangyuan said, the wedding five days ago was very lively. The bride was dressed in red makeup and walked around the city. After walking around for two times, I heard that this marriage was not from the right family. The groom was just a poor boy from the countryside with no roots. The newly married house was bought by the Zhou family. Everyone in the city envied the groom. Good luck to marry the daughter of the Zhou family. The Zhou family has no son to inherit the family business. From now on, this huge family business will fall on him. Who wouldn't envy such a good thing?
I heard that his mother, brother and sister-in-law have all moved into the new house and are enjoying the blessings.
It is true that one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! !
It turned out that the man was from Liujiacun.
"What does the bride look like? Is she pretty?" Liu Lin asked curiously.
"How do I know? You can't see it from the sedan chair." Jiang Xiangyuan said.
"Maybe he is very ugly?" Jiang Xiangyuan said with a wicked smile. She is too ugly to marry, otherwise how could she look at Liu Fushun.
Haha, Jiang Xiangyuan's words made the little girls in the yard laugh.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang and her daughter-in-law did not go to the Xiao family to help on the second day, because Mrs. Liu took Liu Erlang and his family back to the village first.
Mrs. Liu came back the next day after she spoke, and Liu Fugui and Wang Xiaohua's family came back with them. They were accompanied by several large carriages, followed by a dozen maids and women, passing by in a mighty manner.
Returning to his hometown in wealth and dignity, he attracted countless people in the village to watch.
"Everyone is well, fellow villagers, uncles and brothers. We are all polite here." Liu Erlang and Liu Fugui saluted everyone. Now he is dressed in rich clothes and has precious jade at his waist, looking very much like a wealthy man from the city.
He stood on the carriage and did not get off the ground, as if he was afraid that the dirt on the ground would stain his brand new shoes. He was proud and looked at the crowd below from a high position.
"I heard that Liu Sanlang married a lady from the city. What are you doing here?"
"Sanlang settled down in the city to get married. Thinking of the kindness of his father and fellow villagers, he came back specially to make up a banquet and entertain the neighbors. Everyone will come." Liu Erlang said politely, extremely proud. Today is different from the past. He is no longer the same person. He is no longer the idle little bastard in the village. In the city, he is also the big shopkeeper in charge of a big shop.
"Where are Sanlang and Sanlang's wife? Come out and let us see them." The man who had something to do didn't see the bridegroom and the bride, so he started shouting and called Liu Erlang to lead them out so that everyone could have a look.
"Sanlang and his sister-in-law are still in the city and will come back in two days." Liu Erlang smiled, feeling contemptuous in his heart that these country bumpkins didn't understand the rules, but he smiled and said again: "The banquet is scheduled for five days, and there will be three consecutive parties. Heaven’s flowing water mat, when the time comes, all fathers and fellow villagers are invited to come, everyone.”
After saying a few hasty words, he got into the carriage and returned home, leaving all the neighbors talking about it.
"Oh my god! Did I hear it right? Erlang said he would hold a running banquet for three days in a row. Is that true?" Liu Fuyi, who had a close relationship with Liu Erlang in the village, said in surprise. The two often gambled and stole money together. Liu Erlang What kind of temperament could he have to be so generous without knowing it.
"Three days of running water is nothing. The Liu family is prosperous and married to a rich woman in the city. I heard that my mother-in-law's family is very rich. The beds are all made of gold. The things used to eat are either gold or silver. The three The silver used for Tianliushui Banquet is not as valuable as a pair of chopsticks."
Some people exaggerated, but most people present believed it. Some people had never been to Pingcheng in their lives and had never seen a wealthy life. They thought that this was the life of the rich.
"Then I should eat more." Someone said. It's rare to have a good meal, so you have to eat more.
"I just said that Fushun has been a good kid since he was a child. He is good-looking and will definitely be successful in the future. This is not true." An old man with a moustache said, looking prescient, and then continued: "Fushun has a great future. From now on, the Liu family will be considered wealthy."
Everyone was jealous, why was it not their own son who married the rich lady?
Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this statement, and that is Liu Fumin, the man of the Wang family.
"What you are saying is too exaggerated. It is true that Liu Sanlang married a girl from a wealthy family. All the money belongs to that family, not his Liu family. If you ask me, the Xiao family is the most promising in our Liu Village. You Let’s see how much money the Xiao family’s orchard is worth.” Liu Fumin said, they had always been at odds with Mrs. Liu’s family, so they couldn’t stand the Liu family’s style.
Look at Liu Erlang's demeanor just now, standing on the carriage and talking to people, with a condescending manner. After entering the city for a few days, I really thought he was a great lord. He didn't regard him as a fellow villager at all. elder.
He looked down on such people from the bottom of his heart.
"This is different. How much money can those rotten fruits be worth? Sanlang is different. They all say that a son-in-law is half a son. If there is no son, he will have to rely on Sanlang to provide for him until the end of his life. Shouldn't this family property be left to his wife? It's not his." Liu Fuyi immediately retorted, in his concept, the wife's dowry belongs to the man.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. People in the village had different opinions, and eventually everyone broke up unhappy.
