Early the next morning, according to Xinlan's wishes, Fusheng took leave and did not go to the construction site again. After breakfast, he asked Lu Dong to deliver the goods to some old relatives' homes not far away. At the same time, he and Xinlan Went to Liuzhuang with gifts to discuss the wedding arrangements with the two families.

Enthusiasm is indispensable when they meet. After Fusheng and Xinlan explained their intention, Liuqin's parents briefly explained their requirements and customs. Then, the two sides explained their customs and requirements bit by bit. They smoothed things over and unified their opinions. Naturally, when they were talking, Fusheng and Xinlan also expressed their apologies for their family's poor preparation. Fortunately, Liuqin's parents were both understanding people, and they understood that at this time, they The family has become relatives, and it is no longer appropriate to say foreign words, so it is better to combine the two interests into one. For a common purpose, everyone discussed and omitted all the links in the province, and thus settled the marriage process.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Fusheng and Xinlan knew that both families were busy and could not stay for a long time, so they declined the lunch offered by Liu Qin's parents and returned home. By this time, Lu Dong had also finished his work and returned home. So, the family of three While having lunch at home, I discussed and made arrangements for the two or three days before New Year's Day.

Everything went on step by step, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the wedding.

Early that morning, Yong En, who was in charge, came to Fu Sheng's house. Hai Hai, Wei Wei, Quan Sheng and Lai Ji Zhou, several friends who often played together with Lu Dong, also asked for leave early and ran over to help. Look. When people arrived, Yong En ordered Hai Hai and the others to follow Lu Dong, ride a tricycle and take the menu prepared by the chef Shun Qing into the city for shopping. At the same time, he asked the people who stayed at home to help pull the soil and carry bricks to help the chef. While setting up the stove, he and Fusheng Xinlan went to arrange the candidates for tomorrow. Everyone was talking and laughing, listening to the instructions and working in an orderly manner. After finishing the morning, in the afternoon, there were more people helping, Lu Nan and Xiao Cun, the three Xiaohua sisters also returned home, and it was even more lively now. Everyone was busy with this and that, and it wasn’t until dusk that all the trivial things were sorted out. Those who needed it, who posted the posts, who fired the shots, Who will be called will be picked up at home, who will accompany the guests and who will serve the dishes. Everything has been written down on paper, listed and arranged properly. As for the dishes for tomorrow’s banquet, the dishes have been prepared, the shed has been set up, and the meat that needs to be cooked in advance has been fished out. The pot was put in a basket to cool, and the meatballs and tofu that needed to be cooked were also placed on the table. Everything was really ready, just waiting for the happy event to start the next day.

Seeing that everyone had been busy all day and everything was arranged properly, Fusheng and Xinlan were relieved. After dinner, they were worried that the elderly uncle and the chef who had been busy all day would have important tasks the next day. In charge, Fusheng and Xinlan, after consulting their opinions, urged them to go back and rest early. Only themselves, Lu Dong, Haihai and a few other young people were left here to guard, while receiving the guests from this street. The neighbor who came to add boxes was drinking wine and talking.

In fact, the first two days when the boxes should be added have been added one after another, and the late ones have also been added during the day. Now it is just a matter of filling in the leaks. According to the customary customs in rural areas, boxes are usually added in the first two days of the wedding. , everyone can come early or late, and there is no fixed time; at this time, the host will usually serve wine, make a few cold dishes, or put out a few fruit plates, in order to entertain the guests who come to add boxes. Everyone calls this Of course, most people may not stay or actually eat, but these are indispensable etiquette. Lu Dong's case is no exception. He followed his father's instructions two days ago. These were ordered to be prepared and put on the table. Everyone who came to add boxes left their orders so that they could be used as gifts in the future.

Since most of the people who were adding boxes had come in advance, not many people came at this time. Lu Dong, Hai Hai and other young people felt bored when they had free time, so they simply took out wine and started drinking around the table. Hai Hai didn't drink a glass, but Hai Hai didn't drink a glass.

I kept persuading others, and occasionally when people came to add boxes, I would go to persuade them to drink, saying something like "I can't walk on one leg, if I drink, I will have double happiness, if I drink, I will have a peach orchard and three brothers will be married..."

So, according to him, it was because the scolding from Guizhi when he went back to Guizhi after drinking too much two nights ago was still fresh in his memory. He remembered Guizhi's advice and was worried that he would make a fool of himself when he met Guizhi's family tomorrow, so he deliberately

Keep enough to accompany guests. However, Lu Dong could understand his behavior, but Weiwei and several people who did not understand the situation were not willing to do so. So every time someone came to add boxes, everyone would use disgusting words to criticize him.

He was so anxious that Hai Hai couldn't hide, so he replied: "Don't talk about me anymore. If you want to say anything, just talk about Lu Dong. It's all him! If he doesn't drink it in the morning and won't drink it in the evening, he will hold me back as soon as I come back from the construction site."

I drink, think about it, I can't get drunk after drinking this hollow wine, which has made me uncomfortable for two or three days. Immediately after tomorrow, he will get married, and all the people who come are from outside my wife's house. Then I can't

As a guest, if you tell me I will drink tonight, it would be weird if I don’t drink and go to the ball game tomorrow!"

Hai Hai had a red mouth and white teeth, and he told lies without any stammering. Others could not tell him anything without knowing the situation. Lu Dong was listening and couldn't help but want to expose him, so he pointed at Hai Hai and said, "This man is making trouble with his words. He also made trouble that day."

I wonder who is in a hurry to drink?! He came over to the house with a bowl during dinner in the evening, and insisted on fighting me for nothing. In the end, he fainted, and now he is still relying on me!"

"Relying on you? I'm not bad at all! Tell me about you, why don't I find some opportunities to drink with you two more times? Once you finish your work and leave, where will everyone go to have a drink with you? Don't they all blame you?

?" Hai Hai retorted casually, and Lu Dong couldn't finish the sentence.

Everyone was watching and listening to what Hai Hai said, they knew that he was unreasonable and wanted to take three points. But when they thought about it, they all felt that what Hai Hai said was also reasonable. So, they rushed to ask Lu Dongdao: "

Don’t tell me, what Hai Hai said is true. You will be leaving at some time after tomorrow. Let’s find an opportunity to get together again!”

"Of course I won! When I came that day, I was thinking that if I left this time, I would definitely not be able to come back in three days. I thought that the brothers would get together, but it happened to happen that I was getting married, and you were all still working. At this time

The delay has brought us to today. To be honest, after living in my hometown for one or twenty years, we have developed feelings, and I feel so reluctant to leave suddenly. I remember that after someone took away the furniture last week, Liu Qin and I were still together.

Along the wall of the village, we looked at Haizi Valley, the gun towers and the temple, and then went to the Gate Pier. Why? Is it because I was reluctant to leave. Fortunately, my wife’s registered permanent residence is still here, and Lu Nan will not be there in the future.

I know how to leave, so that we brothers will not be separated. Having said that, I will leave it here today. No matter where I go, we will always be good friends and brothers. Even if I leave, I will try to be there when you do things.

Just in case I don't come back, I will tell someone that there will definitely be a lot of etiquette matters. In the future, when I come back or you go, it will still be the same when we meet, drink when we need to, and fight when we need to fight.

Did it hit or not?!" Lu Dong raised his cup as he spoke.

When everyone saw it, they responded hurriedly and raised their glasses to drink the wine. When they put down their glasses and refilled their glasses, perhaps inspired by Lu Dong's words just now, Hai Hai no longer refused. In this way, several people were there.

We talked and drank here until late at night. We saw that it was too late and we couldn't leave anymore, so we drove the married Hai Hai back home, and the remaining people crowded into Lu Dong's bed to sleep.

, but it is in line with the custom of getting married on the bed.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, all the people who helped came to Fusheng's house. Everyone listened to the steward's instructions, had breakfast, and got ready. When the auspicious time came, they divided into two groups, with people and horses all the way.

The family was busy preparing the fine wines, delicacies, tables, chairs and benches needed to entertain the guests; the other group, led by Guizhi and Lu Dong, went to Liuzhuang to marry Liuqin back home. Now, guests from all walks of life gathered together and celebrated

The atmosphere reached a climax immediately. Everyone happily gathered together and held a lively wedding ceremony for Lu Dong and Liu Qin. It was time for the wedding banquet. So after a period of busyness, when the food was served, everyone took their seats as guests and guests, and enjoyed themselves
