After Liu Guangrong's ruckus, Liu Haizhong could only be generous for once.
The banquet changed from one table to three tables. One table was for the bride's relatives and friends to eat, and the other two tables invited the heads of the families in the courtyard.
Although the new era advocated equality between men and women, most of the time, the masters who could earn money to support their families were still in charge.
At dawn on the rest day, Liu Guangrong called Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and the Yan brothers to accompany him to pick up the bride.
Because the conditions were not good, the bride's family did not arrange for her to be sent off.
In the courtyard house, the second aunt brought a few women who had a good relationship with her to help Shazhu cook.
The reason why Silly Pillar agreed to Liu Haizhong's request was because everyone lived in the courtyard house and they would see each other every day. On the other hand, Liu Haizhong promised to give Shazhu 5 yuan for his hard work.
Ever since he bought the bicycle, he only had a few dozen yuan left.
During this time with Yang Chen, under Yang Chen's intentional or unintentional guidance, Silly Zhu's heart began to think about why it was raining, as well as himself.
As He Yushui's only biological brother, he would be getting married in a few years. Shouldn't Silly Zhu prepare a dowry for her?
Other things aside, there must be a bicycle and sewing machine that could spin three times and make a sound.
The two items on it added up to at least 300 yuan, right?
As for Silly Zhu himself, he was 26 years old and was definitely an unmarried youth.
If he met a suitable woman, once they talked about marriage, it would still be about money and tickets.
Because of this, Silly Pillar consciously wanted to earn and save money.
After eating breakfast, Yang Chen rode his bicycle to the department store.
Since Liu Haizhong took the initiative to invite Yang Chen to a banquet, as a junior, Yang Chen naturally would not be arrogant.
With an porcelain basin and a metal shell kettle, Yang Chen returned to the courtyard.
"Little Chen, is this a gift for glory?”
"Second Aunt, I just started working. Please don't mind this small gift.”
"I don't mind, I don't mind…"
After handing the gift to the second aunt, Yang Chen took out 5 yuan from his pocket and handed it over.
"This? Isn't that too much?"
"Second Aunt, I'm eating alone now, and the whole family isn't hungry. This bit of money won't affect my life, so please accept it on behalf of Brother Guangrong.”
"Alright then."
Even if he didn't take any money, Yang Chen's porcelain basin and a metal shell thermos were also considered a heavy gift.
After the payment, Yang Chen took the initiative to find Silly Zhu. Under the arrangement of the latter, Yang Chen helped everyone to clean up the table and chairs.
"Hey, auntie, this Yang Chen is really generous…"
"That's right. In my opinion, whether it is dealing with people or personality, Yang Chen is like this.”A woman said as she gave him a thumbs up.
Yang Chen did not care about the evaluation of the people in the courtyard, but he would not refuse.
Because good popularity was more conducive to Yang Chen's integration into the courtyard house, and even into this era.
"Brother Zhu Zi, how many dishes did Second Master prepare today?”
"I can't compare to you. I'm only slightly better than Third Uncle. There are a total of five dishes, two meat and three vegetables, one steamed fish, one messy meat bowl…"
Yang Chen had arranged five tables of banquets last time. Not to mention the tickets, the money alone cost more than fifty yuan.
According to Liu Hai's dish, he spent 20 yuan on the top of his head.
With Liu Haizhong's salary, the difference between the two was obvious.
To put it bluntly, Liu Hai was very stingy.
Before noon, Liu Guangrong and his group returned to the courtyard house.
"Second Uncle, your new daughter-in-law has entered the house…"
"Old Zhao, go set off firecrackers at the door.”
Under the cover of the firecrackers, the bangs in front of the chest with a big red flower pushed the bicycle, and the bride, who was also wearing a big red flower, sat on the bicycle.
In this era, marriage was as simple as getting married for one yuan.
Coincidentally, there was a guest at the bride's house. Liu Guangrong must have warned her beforehand.
After welcoming the bride back, Liu Guangrong greeted everyone with a smile as he held a cigarette in his hand.
Although Liu Haizhong did not invite the women and children in the courtyard, everyone could share some melon seeds, peanuts, and sweets.
The wedding scene was not as lively as Yang Chen imagined, as if it was just relatives and friends who took time to eat together and drink a little wine.
If this were to happen 30 years later, such a simple and crude place would definitely become a big joke.
During lunchtime, Silly Pillar ordered the dishes to be served.
The staple food was steamed bread. Boss, two for each person, and a bottle of Fen wine for each table.
After the banquet began, Liu Haizhong led Liu Guangrong and his wife to toast everyone one by one.
After the banquet, everything went smoothly until the bride's parents, relatives, and friends were sent away.
However, before the people in the courtyard could disperse, Liu Guangrong suddenly shouted,"Old Lady, First Uncle, Third Uncle, all the young and old men present…Please wait a moment. I have something to announce in public.”
At this point, Liu Guangrong walked toward Liu Haizhong with a glass of wine.
"Dad, thank you for giving birth to me and raising me up. I'll toast to you.”
Hearing Liu Guangrong's words, Yang Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Liu Haizhong thought that his son was being grateful, so he gave him face in front of everyone. Instead, he drank the wine in his glass with a smile.
"Dad, Juan Zi and I have already applied to be transferred from Yujing. In the future, we will be separated by a few provinces in Yujing. I'm afraid that we won't have many opportunities to go home and show you our filial piety…"
"What is it? What did you say?"
"Dad, aren't you surprised? That's true. Anyway, in your eyes, my son doesn't matter.”
Liu Guangrong waved his hand, and the bride walked out with two luggage bags.
While everyone was in shock, Liu Guangrong spoke again,"Guangtian, Guangfu, big brother left with your sister-in-law. You two have to take care of yourselves in the future.”
"Glory, what are you doing?”
"Mom, I'm sorry. I have to leave because I can't stand this family anymore.”
After apologizing to his mother, Liu Guangrong took his wife and strode away. He left without any intention of turning back.
"What? Ah…If you were to chase me away today, I wouldn't have an unfilial son like you!”
Liu Guangrong still did not have the slightest bit of nostalgia in the face of the roaring bangs.
The wedding was just one step away from being perfect. Who would have thought that something would go wrong at the very last moment?
Everyone present, including First Uncle and Third Uncle, did not dare to say anything. After all, this was Liu Haizhong's family matter.
"Eh? Liu Haizhong, your father is unkind and your son is unfilial. You have to learn your lesson…You should nurture Guangtian and Guangfu well in the future.”
After throwing this sentence, the deaf old lady motioned for Yang Chen to help her leave.
