Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 452: Preparations in Progress

In the room, Qin Jingru took He Yushui's hand and said, "Sister Yushui, come and put on this red and white checkered shirt."

"Ah? This for me? Didn't you say you bought it for yourself? Why did you give it to me?" He Yushui asked in surprise.

Qin Jingru put the clothes in front of He Yushui and compared them: "Haha... Actually, I bought them according to your figure!"

"Look, it's so big that I can't wear it. It fits you perfectly."

"I'll wear a red floral shirt, and you'll wear a red and white checkered one, and then you'll stand next to me, okay?"

He Yushui understood what Qin Jingru meant. She wanted him to follow her in the wedding ceremony.

They wore similar clothes and walked through the ceremony together. The only difference between them was the big red flower on their chest.

He Yushui was naturally very tempted, but after thinking about it she decided to refuse. Although she would feel good about doing so, it would also easily attract the attention of the neighbors, which would lead to being stared at in the future, which would be bad.

"Thank you, Jingru. I appreciate your kindness, but this is your wedding with Brother Tao, so I can't participate."

He Yushui looked at Qin Jingru and said with emotion: "And think about it, if this is the case, won't the neighbors stare at us in the future? It will be inconvenient for us to meet in the future."

Qin Jingru thought about it for a while and felt that this seemed to be the case, so she stopped investigating:

"Well, Sister Yushui, even though Brother Tao married me, in my heart there is actually no difference between us. I just took advantage of knowing Brother Tao earlier than he did. If we had met Brother Tao at about the same time, he would definitely have married you."

"Brother Tao once told me that he felt the most sorry for you because he couldn't give you what you wanted. I also think that you are the best. You are beautiful, educated, and devoted to him..."

He Yushui sniffed, pursed her lips and said softly: "Let's not talk about this, Jingru. I'm not a child anymore. I know what I did. As long as I think it's worth it, it's fine."

Qin Jingru tilted her head and looked at He Yushui for a while: "Then let's each take a step back. I will go through the ceremony by myself, but you can wear the clothes I just mentioned. After all, it's a wedding, so it's reasonable to wear something festive."

"Yeah." This time He Yushui didn't refuse.

While waiting for the ceremony, I closed my eyes and imagined that the person walking next to Brother Tao was myself. This is not bad, right?

He Yushui thought so.

.......

In the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was directing a group of kitchen helpers and enthusiastic neighbors in the courtyard who were busy working. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were setting up the scene.

Yan Bugui continued to stay at home. Not only was he too embarrassed to see anyone, but there was also a prisoner in his family, so it was not convenient for him to come out and get involved on such a happy occasion.

"Zhu Zi, do you think the dishes are enough? If you need anything, just tell me directly, and don't ask for help later." Wang Hongtao walked to Sha Zhu and handed him a cigarette.

"Enough, of course! These two pig offal alone are enough to make a decent meal! Boiled large intestine, pig heart and lung soup, and fried pig stomach. With these three dishes, I guarantee that every diners will be satisfied!"

He Yuzhu answered while picking up pig intestines, saying that pig intestines taste delicious but are difficult to clean.

"Okay, then you continue with your work. You've worked hard today. I'll treat you to a meal alone after this is over!" Wang Hongtao patted Sha Zhu's shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll wait!" Sha Zhu raised his weathered face and smiled naively.

"Boss, what did Section Chief Wang just say to you?"

As soon as Wang Hongtao left, Sun Xiaoying came over and asked.

"It's nothing. They just said they would treat me to a meal after they were done with their work. Do you think I, as a cook, need anyone to treat me to a meal?" Sha Zhu boasted.

"What? You didn't agree? Oh my, you idiot, you turned down such a great opportunity?"

"you……"

"You won't get laid this week!"

This guy made Sun Xiaoying angry. If there weren't so many people on the field, she would have wanted to grab the idiot's ears and take him back to the room to teach him a lesson.

“Hey, don’t… don’t!” When he heard that he was not allowed to go to bed, Shazhu immediately panicked. It smelled bad, but, hehehehe…

"Promise, I promise! How can I refuse when you say that? You promised to treat me to a meal after I finish this trip, and I'll take you with me then!"

"Like hell!"

"Okay, you do your job here, I'll go see if there's anyone else who can help me!" After saying that, Sun Xiaoying gave Sha Zhu a coquettish look and walked away twisting her body.

Sha Zhu licked his lips and worked more vigorously.

"Uncle, do you think there is anything else to prepare?"

Wang Hongtao had never seen a proper wedding banquet, so he really didn't understand this aspect.

He had seen Sha Zhu get married, but the guy just distributed a few handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds, and didn't even set the table, so there was no way to learn from it.

Yi Zhonghai stroked his chin and thought for a while: "Tables and chairs are simple, the neighbors in the yard can just gather them together, but the witnesses and the groom's elders..."

"The master of the Jingru family will come over later, right?"

"Of course. It was already agreed upon when I issued the letter of introduction. Jingru's parents, brother and sister-in-law will all be here. I estimate there will be half a table."

"So you'd better think of a solution for the witness and the groom's elders."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai coughed and looked at Wang Hongtao with a smile.

"Oh, this is an easy matter. Director Li and several other factory leaders have agreed to come, and no one dares to compete with him for the position of witness." Wang Hongtao said to himself.

"Ahem..." Yi Zhonghai was really choked this time: "Are you saying that Director Li is coming too?"

"Yes, in addition to Director Li, there is Chief Liao from the Security Department, Chief Wu from our Labor and Personnel Department, and Director Zhang from Logistics... Oh, and Director Guo from your workshop one is coming too!"

"Kid, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Yi Zhonghai complained to Wang Hongtao in a bad mood, and ran to discuss with Liu Haizhong.

"Hey, Lao Liu, come with me, Lao Liu!"

"We have to change what we agreed on before. Go to the courtyard next door and borrow two large round tables. Double the firecrackers and wedding fruits. Hang two big red lanterns at the gate to make it more festive!"

"Go back and change into some nice clothes, and then we'll go to the door together to greet the guests."

"Why?" Liu Haizhong was puzzled.

"Why do you think so? Director Li, Section Chief Liao, and Director Zhang will all be here later. Except for Secretary Nie, almost everyone else will be here. There will be enough time for a factory committee meeting."

"Xiao Wang is really something. Why didn't you tell me this news earlier?"

……

The entrance to the alley.

Qin Jingru's parents, elder brother, second brother, and elder sister-in-law were all there, leaving only her younger sister-in-law at home to take care of the children. She was asking for directions cautiously.

If there is no wedding banquet, the bride's family will definitely save the trip, but since there is a wedding banquet, the bride's family will definitely come.

As for why I didn’t go back with Wang Hongtao…

Don't you have to wait for the bus?

There are only two buses a day, how can it be so easy to get one?

……

There is a station in Nanluoguxiang itself, you can just ask an old man.

When the old man heard that they were Section Chief Wang’s family, he became extremely enthusiastic and took them to the gate of the courtyard.

"Chief Wang, I brought your father-in-law to you!"

The old man was shouting at the top of his lungs at the gate of the yard.

"Coming." Wang Hongtao responded loudly.
