Chapter 252 Wedding Banquet

The truck pulled the smiling bride and groom and a large car of relatives and friends back to Dagou Village.

The loud sound of firecrackers rang out, and the truck drove to the gate of grandma's house. Surrounded by countless people, the bride and groom got out of the car.

When everyone was gone, Wu Jiangshan drove out and parked at the intersection.

When she came back, the bride had finished changing her words and was holding the thimble given by her aunt and placing it on the door frame of the house.

Then the newlyweds entered the new house, and the banquets in the courtyard were opened.

There are two tables placed on the left and right of the door, one to record the favors from the bride's family, and one to record the favors from the groom's side.

Grandma always kept his eldest grandson in mind and put him on the table to tell him to eat. But when grandma went to work, Wu Jiangshan asked his mother to catch the young man.

Someone was busy serving food, and my mother called him and my father to make sodas quickly.

There are too many people coming to eat at the banquet. If buying soda is too expensive, in rural areas, people usually drink soda by themselves when eating at banquets.

The two men took saccharin, coloring matter, baking soda and vinegar, mixed them into several buckets, and then poured them one by one into the glass bottles that had been cleaned in advance.

After I finished drinking some, I brought it to the table. After finishing the drink, a child came over with a bottle in his hand to ask for it.

After finishing the soda, Wu Jiangshan went to help clear the plates and serve new dishes because he was eating on a flowing table. He was busy until the afternoon before eating.

In the middle, the bride and groom came out to toast to the elders, relatives and friends. The cousin's face was wiped clean and she looked much more pleasing to the eye.

She is a round-faced girl who is not too tall, has slightly dark skin, but has big double eyelids. She looks like a person with a good personality.

Grandma, aunt and others are very satisfied, because a round face means good luck.

Mancang took his new wife to find Wu Jiangshan who had just sat down, and insisted on toasting him with a drink. After they finished drinking and the newlyweds went to other tables, Wu Jiangshan heard a discordant sound.

"Hey, don't tell me that the old Song family is too busy this time. Take a look at the big color TV inside the new house. It's bigger than anything I've seen in town."

"You know what? You think it was earned by the old Song family themselves, and not by his aunt who brought it back from her husband's family."

"Oh, really, how rich is his aunt's family?"

"Let's not talk about whether she has money or not. Whoever finds such a wife would be unlucky. Everything will be sent to her mother's family. I heard that her own son has not yet married..."

"Really? Tsk tsk... Then her man is willing? Who is her son? Point me to it..."

"The one who drove the big car today is quite tall, huh? I saw him just now, where is he this time?"

The two daughters-in-law, who didn't know whose family they were, stretched out their chopsticks quickly and stuffed meat and vegetables into their mouths while gossiping about the master's family behind his back.

As the two of them were talking, they turned around and saw a big man sitting at the table behind them, biting a piece of meat and looking at them.

She said with a smile: "Auntie, why don't you serve me? This dish is still not strong, otherwise why can't I stop my mouth?"

Dad heard it on the side and touched him with his foot under the table, telling him not to cause trouble.

Wu Jiangshan turned back and continued eating. The two women turned around and continued eating and drinking with stern expressions on their faces. They were quite thick-skinned.

It was a lively afternoon, but my mother was so busy that she couldn't even finish the meal. She, as an aunt, was happier than anyone else that her nephew was getting married.

I was afraid that the wedding banquet would not be well organized, so I followed my aunt to make arrangements.

My cousin's grandma's family, my aunt's natal family, also has many relatives here.

But all of them really came here to have a wedding banquet, and they didn’t even bother to move their butts.

My cousin got married with a full house, and his grandma's family didn't give him anything, so he just went along with the favor.

A family of seven or eight carried five kilograms of meat...

Grandma and grandpa are both kind people, and even though they are like this, they treat each other well, but there is always a person in every family who is indiscriminate.

While Wu Jiangshan was eating, he saw a girl with a flat nose and triangular eyes. She called her second sister to her busy aunt, and then dragged her aside to whisper.

After a while, the eldest aunt came back with an unhappy expression.

My mother, Song Xiangjun, noticed it, went over to help, and then asked questions secretly. My aunt just shook her head, and Wu Jiangshan couldn't hear what they said.

This discovery made Wu Jiangshan pay a little attention, and he realized that his aunt was not very close to those in her natal family, and she might as well have a good relationship with his own mother.

No wonder, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, my aunt doesn't go back.

There is another meal in the evening, where we entertain the helpers and our relatives for dinner, and then we have the wedding ceremony.

Wu Jiangshan really wanted to stay and watch the bridal bridal commotion, but the commotion had to last until midnight, and the young man from the same village who played well was happy to make the nuisance. He was his younger brother, and it would not look good to have his sister-in-law quarrel.

Besides, my aunt’s family came from far away, and they couldn’t live in the house, so I prepared to drive and take my parents away before it got dark.

Before leaving, my grandma and aunt packed a lot of new dishes, which had been left untouched in advance, and asked them to take them back to the in-laws and uncle Jiangshan. They also took a lot of wedding candies and cigarettes, and asked them to take them back to them.

Everyone shares it and feels happy.

After everyone got in the car, the girl with the flat nose came out again, holding an old lady in her hand and called her aunt over.

I don’t know what was said, but they started to argue.

How could we quarrel on this special day? My mother, Song Xiangjun, quickly got out of the car and asked. Wu Jiangshan also followed. After listening for a while, it turned out that he was planning to take over his car.

"Mancang's sister-in-law, you see, we can be considered a family. My Chunlan is getting married next month. Can you ask your son to drive to pick her up then?"

When Song Xiangjun heard this, he thought to himself, "Why are my sister-in-law's family so shameless? I've never seen them before. They're just a family."

"You are Mancang's grandma, right? Oops, Aunt Mancang is getting married? Congratulations first, but this car is really bad. You don't know that this car does not belong to my family, but was borrowed by my son and a friend."

"It's okay to borrow it. Can I borrow it again next month? What a big deal?" said the aunt with a flat nose in Mancang.

Song Xiangjun didn't want to reply directly. She glanced at Wu Jiangshan, but she didn't mean to ask Wu Jiangshan to agree.

After two lifetimes, mother and son still couldn't understand the look in their mother's eyes. Wu Jiangshan chuckled and said, "My friend is from out of town, and the car will leave tomorrow."

"Oh, how come it's such a coincidence? Look at this relative, he doesn't do anything to help..."

"I haven't heard of anyone who has their daughter find a car and deliver it to her door. What's wrong, your partner doesn't come to pick her up?"

The flat nose bridge became anxious upon hearing this: "What do you mean?"

Wu Jiangshan was too lazy to pay attention to her and pulled his mother: "Mom, it's getting late, let's go back."

The eldest aunt looked embarrassed and dragged her mother and younger sister back: "Xiangjun, brother-in-law, I won't see you off. Ask your brother to see you off. Jiangshan, please drive slower on the road."

The cousin also came out with the bride to see her off. Song Xiangjun persuaded them to go back, but asked her brother to get in the car.

Wu Jiangshan got into the car, stuck his head out of the car window, greeted his grandma, grandpa and aunt, then started the car and drove off.

Not far from Dagou Village, Wujiangshan stopped. If we drove out again, my uncle would have to go back by himself.
