Chapter 626
This arrangement is also in line with the characteristics of this time. Although men and women are said to be equal, the rule of the older generation is that women are not allowed to serve at the table.
Not even eating at the same table as the men. Needless to say, at this time, it was also like this during the New Year and festivals in rural areas in later generations.
So this arrangement is just right and no one will be offended.
Of course, there is one exception among them, and that is Zhao Xinyi’s cousin.
Although he is young, he is already an adult. He should be allowed to stay at the main table, but Zhao Gang did not mention it and directly asked him to follow his mother to the side table.
Apparently, Zhao Gang was a little unhappy with the behavior of Aunt Zhao Xinyi and her family at the door just now.
Looking at the pile of women on the table, not only was he worried about his face, but he was also worried about his sister-in-law Zhao Xinyi's.
"Liu Tao, there are a lot of women here. What are you doing here? Go to that table to pour wine and food for your uncle. What are you doing here?"
Her sister-in-law looked at her son and said loudly.
"It's okay, the place is full. Taozi can sit over there." Zhao Gang looked at his sister and said.
Ever since my younger sister found out that Zhao Xinyi was getting engaged to an ordinary family, she objected and kept trying to persuade her.
I also told her not to worry about this matter, I had thought about it in my heart, but she didn't listen to anything she said and wanted to introduce her daughter to the son of the leader of their unit.
Before coming home, he even warned her, but Jiang Xiaobai still couldn't get off the stage at the door of the hotel.
Who is Jiang Xiaobai? He has earned a huge family fortune at a young age, although this is nothing compared to Longgang.
But they were all earned by others from scratch and belong to themselves.
Longgang himself is a manager, and the property belongs to the public.
What's more, what I like about Jiang Xiaobai is his strategy and his grasp of current affairs and politics.
The future of such people is limitless.
As for the issue of family background, it is a joke. Needless to say, his Zhao Gang family goes back three generations.
A few generations back, I was also a poor person, that is, I went to college, and then I met this fate.
Therefore, Zhao Gang was determined to show his determination to his sister, who had been doted on by him since she was a child and was still supporting her after the end.
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he stopped talking and started chatting with Jiang Tieshan.
Liu Tao felt a little embarrassed and sat at the table with women, but he felt even more dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaobai in his heart.
The dishes came out quickly. They were all ordered by Jiang Xiaobai. The dishes were quite generous, including eight cold and eight hot soups.
"In-laws, this matter should have been brought up by us. It was because our family was rude."
Jiang Tieshan said.
"As long as the children live well together, these things don't matter. I want to discuss this meal with my brother today and see if we can set a date and when to get married."
Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"In-laws, if you have any conditions, just mention them. If our family doesn't have any, we will definitely meet them."
Jiang Tieshan said that this is also the right thing to do. The woman's family must put forward conditions when marrying their daughter.
"Our family doesn't have any conditions. Now I know that Xiaobai is also in Zhangxuan County and doesn't live in Longcheng permanently. When they get married, you can just pack up a room for them at home."
Zhao Gang said with a smile that when other people marry a girl, the original rule is three rings and one turn. She must have a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and a watch.
Now some people want to buy three new items: refrigerator, TV, and washing machine.
But Zhao Gang knew that these things were nothing to Jiang Xiaobai.
I heard from Zhao Xinyi that Jiang Xiaobai had spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy two houses in the capital. The houses had everything including refrigerators, washing machines, and color TV series.
Not to mention the car, I heard it was a Citroen cx20.
It's better than your own car, why do you need a bicycle?
Moreover, people in Jianhua Village have such a large amount of property, so there is nothing they want to buy.
"Lao Zhao and I think this way. After you clean up the house, we will buy appliances for the family as a dowry."
Han Lin also spoke.
"That's not possible, our family can just buy it..." Mother Jiang said.
In fact, regarding the betrothal gifts and requirements, the two families discussed it harmoniously and even got into an argument.
"Uncle Zhao, if you really want to buy me something, why not buy me two cars." Jiang Xiaobai said next to Zhao Gang while holding a wine glass.
From now on, he will be his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is the girl Zhao Xinyi. Jiang Xiaobai has nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Don't you have a Citroën car? Are you still not satisfied?" Zhao Gang asked.
"My car is not enough. Those factory directors also need cars sometimes. We can't just drive the Jiefang truck as soon as we go out." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Haha, you kid, if you had said this at any other time, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. I even drive a Hongqi myself, but I really have some connections now.
But they are all smuggled cars, coming from the south."
Zhao Gang said.
"No problem, as long as you have a car, it will be fine. I won't say thank you."
Jiang Xiaobai drank a drink and returned to his seat with a smile.
In the end, the Jiang family still did not fight against the Zhao family and decided that the Zhao family would buy the appliances.
The wedding was held in May this year.
Jiang Xiaobai's wish to delay it for another year was in vain.
"Xiao Bai, come here, let me toast you a glass of wine." Liu Tao came over at some point with a wine glass.
He looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, as if I was toasting you to give you face.
Jiang Xiaobai had just bought two cars. He was in a good mood and didn't care about it. He picked up his wine glass and was about to fill it up and drink one with Liu Tao.
"From now on, you should treat cousin Xinyi well. If you treat cousin Xinyi badly, our Zhao family will not let you go."
Liu Tao continued speaking, and Jiang Xiaobai put down the wine bottle he had just picked up.
"I'm sorry, I'm so drunk that I can't drink anymore."
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he put the cup on the table without giving any face.
What the hell, I tolerated it over and over again, but in the end, it kicked my nose in my face and threatened me.
Who are you? If Zhao Gang can say this, or Liu Tao, you can say it after you and I get to know each other better.
What I say now is just to make trouble.
"You won't give me face?" Liu Tao had just drank two glasses of wine, and now that Jiang Xiaobai didn't give him face, he was even more angry.
"Your surname is Zhao?"
"No, my surname is Liu."
"Yes, your surname is Liu, why should I give you face? Today is the engagement banquet of the Zhao and Jiang families. Isn't it Liu's surname?"
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Tao and said.
"You..." Liu Tao was about to get angry after hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words.
But Zhao Xinyi's uncle persuaded her.
"Taozi, you drank too much, Xiaobai, don't argue with him." Zhao Xinyi's uncle looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said with an apologetic smile.
