"Um, this is a new house that has just been built. According to our old rules in Yongquan Village, we should have wine. Why should we wait for a while?"
"Shui Hua, this father is not going to tell you, what are you thinking? Isn't it clear?"
"Isn't it because you're getting married soon? You're worried that if you hold two banquets in a row, other people in the village will gossip."
"Um, let me tell you, you are wrong to think this way. Have you forgotten what happened to your thirteenth uncle's family the year before last? He just married his eldest daughter, and his eldest son got married again. In less than a month,
His house only held two events.”
"Everyone else is doing this, so why can't we do it?"
"Having a banquet is done according to the rules!"
"Even if you are talking about Po Tian, it doesn't make sense!"
Old Man Li folded his arms and kept talking non-stop. He said everything in his words. He was determined to drink the wine, and he had to do it immediately!
Later, the more he talked, the more excited he became, his face became red, and his neck became thicker.
I can't help but be excited. If he postpones this matter, he will have to accept one less favor. In order to build this house, he took out all the boards of his own coffin. At this time, if he is not allowed to accept the favor in exchange for blood, that is
Absolutely cannot agree to that.
"dad!"
Shui Hua was not swayed by Old Man Li's words and explained patiently and calmly.
"Well, I'm not saying we won't do it. What I mean is that we'll do it after a while. Now every household has to build a new house. You know how much it will cost to build a house. Think about it. Now everyone has it.
We are short of money, if you do this twice in a row, will the money you get back be less?"
"If you wait until everyone is rich, will you charge more?"
a bit more?
Hearing this word, Old Man Li's heart suddenly moved, and he secretly made a small calculation.
If it were him, if someone was having a wedding banquet and he happened to have no money in his pocket, he would definitely go less.
'What the girl said seems to make sense.'
Seeing her father's intention, Shui Hua quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"Dad, in two months, the weather will be warm. By then, we can grow food in the fields. Uncle Shui also plans to lead everyone to raise sheep, plant caragana, licorice, and wolfberry to harvest in the fall.
Now, everyone has money in their hands. If we sell wine at that time, we will definitely charge more money than we do now.”
"Besides, if we do this, others will praise you for being sensible even if they don't say it with their mouths."
"Tell me, is this true?"
At this time, Old Man Li had basically been convinced, but he didn't want to admit it. He smacked his lips for a long time and said something stiffly.
"Huh, I can't help you anyway, whatever you say makes sense."
Seeing this scene, the corners of Shui Hua's mouth unconsciously raised slightly. She knew that her father just didn't admit it with his mouth, but he actually recognized it in his heart.
Immediately, Shui Hua asked tentatively.
"Dad, why don't you tell everyone tomorrow about the rescheduling of our wine shop?"
Old Man Li glanced at his daughter resentfully and muttered in a low voice.
"Huh, you've already made up your mind and why are you asking?"
Shui Hua pursed her lips and smiled quietly, not paying attention to what her father was mumbling, and said bluntly.
"Then it's settled."
"up to you!"
Old Man Li muttered unhappily, and then left the scene angrily.
The next day, Shui Hua went door-to-door to inform everyone about the rescheduling of Shangzhuang Winery. When the villagers heard the news, some were secretly relieved, some were calm, and some even praised Shui Hua and her father in person.
A few sentences.
All in all, everyone's comments on this matter were positive, and no one said anything idle.
Time went round and round, and in a blink of an eye, the day came when Ma Defu and Shui Hua got married.
March 21, the weather is fine, so it is suitable for getting married, traveling, carrying out funerals, praying for blessings, but not starting business, starting construction, and being buried.
In the main room, Ma Defu was biting the tip of his pen, sitting on the table and thinking about something.
Recently, the immigration work in Diaozhuang has not gone smoothly. Even though today is his happy day, he still has not let go of this matter in his heart.
Suddenly, Ma Debao hurried in, pushed Ma Defu's arm, and urged while pointing to the watch on his wrist.
"Brother, brother, look at what time it is. Why are you still busy here? Why don't you quickly go to the back room to change clothes? We are going to Sister Shuihua's house later. You can't wear these clothes.
.”
Ma Defu lowered his head and looked: "It's only half past nine, it's still very early."
One of the Shuihua family's homes is at the east end of the village, and the other is at the west end of the village. It takes less than five minutes to go back and forth. There is still a full hour left before the wedding. No matter how you calculate it, this time is enough.
"Haha." Ma Debao kindly reminded him with a smile: "Brother, don't forget, there are people blocking the way on this road. I just checked for you. There are at least five people on this road.
There are six levels, and even if one level takes three minutes, it still takes 20 minutes less."
The 'checkpoint' that Ma Debao refers to is one of their customs. When they encounter someone getting married in the village, the lively villagers will spontaneously carry a big bench and stop in the middle of the road with their whole family to beg.
Want some lottery tickets.
Of course, this is not done for the sake of getting a lot of money, it is just for fun and to make the new couple happy.
"right!"
Ma Defu slapped his head and suddenly remembered the matter of 'blocking the road'. He was so busy during this period that he almost forgot about it.
He took the lead in doing this back then.
After saying that, Ma Defu immediately ran back to the back room in a hurry, taking off his coat as he ran. The clothes he was wearing were old clothes from a few years ago. They were fine for daily wear, but they were obviously not suitable for weddings.
After a while, Ma Defu changed his clothes and walked out of the room wearing a brand new blue tunic suit.
Ma Debao looked around and his eyes suddenly lit up. He had to admit that his brother was a bit handsome today.
"Brother, you are so handsome!"
At this moment, Li Jie walked in with his little daughter Dehua in his arms. He held his daughter in one hand and patted Ma Debao on the head with the other.
"You are the ugliest in our family."
Cackling!
Seeing her second brother being beaten, Ma Dehua chuckled and let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.
Ma Debao covered his head, pretending to have a fierce expression, and glared at his little sister.
"Um?"
Li Jie saw Ma Debao's behavior. Although he knew that his second son was deliberately trying to scare his youngest daughter, he still glanced at Ma Debao with an "unkind expression".
Seeing this, Ma Debao curled his lips secretly and muttered "partiality" in his heart. Then he turned his head and said to Ma Defu beside him.
