Two days passed in a flash. Today was the factory's rest day, and it was also the official wedding day of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. He did not expect God to be so kind. The snow that had been falling for several days actually stopped.
As for the three lottery chances awarded after the upgrade of Bajiquan, Wang Jianjun used them when he came back from work that night.
He didn't know what the system was thinking, but the rewards for the three lucky draws were all meat. Moreover, they were all cooked food. There was braised pork and beef, as well as roasted lamb legs. The portions were even more abundant. Each item was given 900 catties, but the cash was a little less, only 500 yuan.
Could it be that the system knew that practicing Bajiquan required him to consume a lot of energy, so it specially rewarded him with this meat to replenish his body?
…………
Early in the morning, Wang Jianjun practiced his fist technique as usual, then washed up and had breakfast.
Although Xu Damao's family would hold a banquet in the courtyard at noon, Wang Jianjun did not expect to eat very well. It was not that Xu Damao's family was stingy, but the actual conditions did not allow it.
Besides, even if Xu Damao's family didn't want to spend too much money, Lou Xiao'e's family didn't lack money. How could they let others gossip about such a big matter like marrying their daughter off?
It was still early for the banquet, and Wang Jianjun didn't want to go there early to get cold. It was winter, and it would be warm if he hid in the house.
He stayed at home reading until it was almost 11:30 p. m. He then got up and walked to the backyard.
As soon as they passed through the porch of the backyard, they saw Third Uncle Yan Fugui and First Uncle Yi Zhonghai. They had moved a table and were helping the main family collect the gifts. Second Uncle was not seen in his bangs.
"Jianjun is here. Those who were invited by Xu Damao's family today will give some gifts. You can also give some as you see fit.”
"No problem, Third Uncle. Since everyone has given it, there's no reason for me to say it's special. Besides, it's a big day. Giving a little gift is a good luck.”
As he spoke, Wang Jianjun quickly glanced at the roster on the table and found that the person who gave the most was Liu Haizhong.
As for the first uncle, he gave him one yuan. The third uncle gave him even less, only fifty cents. The others gave him three cents, two cents, and even ten cents. Wang Jianjun wasn't surprised when he saw the words " Jia Zhang " at the back.
"Third Master, this is my gift. Please register it for me.”
Wang Jianjun had no intention of showing off. He took out 30 cents from his pocket and handed it to Third Uncle. He was about to take his seat, but he was stopped by Yan Fugui just as he raised his foot.
"Jianjun, I've asked Xie Cheng and the others to reserve a seat for you over there. You don't have to look around for a seat.”
"Thank you, Third Uncle. I'll go over first.”
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Wang Jianjun saw that there was indeed an empty seat next to Yan Jiecheng. It was obviously reserved for him.
"Jianjun, just sit here. My dad told me to leave it for you.”
"Thank you, Third Uncle. By the way, have you seen the bride?”
Wang Jianjun accepted the kindness of Third Uncle's family. He would find a way to repay them in the future.
After sitting down, she casually found a topic to chat with Yan Jiecheng. Otherwise, it would be so boring to just sit there.
At the same time, Wang Jianjun grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the System Space and gave some to Yan Jiecheng.
Of course, what others saw was that he had taken it out of his pocket. He did not have to worry about being exposed.
"No, not to mention the bride, even Xu Damao hasn't come out. I don't know what he's busy with in the house. It's almost midnight.”
"Hey! Jianjun, where did you buy these melon seeds? Why is it so delicious?"
"Oh, I bought it from an old man who set up a stall. If you want to buy it, go to the corner of the street and take a look.”
Yan Jiecheng knew that it was Pigeon City when he heard the location, but he couldn't bear to spend money on these snacks.
…………
The two of them were chatting casually when they saw Old Xu and Lou Guanshan leading Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e out of the house.
Knowing that the host was about to speak, everyone immediately quieted down.
"Today is a great day for our Damao and the Lou family's daughter to get married. Thank you, neighbors, for coming to support us. In the future, Damao and Xiao'e will live here, so we will have to rely on you, neighbors, to take care of them.”
"Alright, I won't say anymore nonsense. Let's start the banquet now. Everyone, eat and drink well.”
There was no fancy wedding ceremony. The host said a few simple words, and then the banquet began. Of course, everyone's blessings were naturally not left out.
"Congratulations, Old Xu. Now that Da Mao has a family, you can enjoy life in the future.”
"Congratulations, Brother Damao and Sister-in-law. I wish you a long life together and a child soon.”
"Congratulations to Old Xu and Sister-in-law. You'll be waiting to have a grandson in the future.”
"Congratulations…"
…………
Whether it was sincere or not, everyone's blessings were necessary. Even Wang Jianjun was no exception. He stood up and congratulated Xu Damao.
However, there was one exception at the scene, and that was Silly Zhu. Seeing that his sworn enemy was getting married, it would be strange if he could be happy. He did not say anything and just sat there drinking.
Fortunately, it was so noisy that Xu Damao's family did not notice.
After the blessing, the table was filled with all kinds of food. The number of dishes was not bad, but the only meat dish was braised pork, which was placed in the middle of the table.
"We're all neighbors. There's no need to be polite.”
Many people were waiting for Xu Damao's father to say this. As soon as he finished speaking, they immediately reached their chopsticks towards the red braised pork in the middle.
Fortunately, the portion was not bad. Basically, everyone could taste it, but if they wanted to eat more, there was no more.
However, no one said anything. In this era, it was already quite difficult to take out so much meat at once. Lou Xiao'e's father probably did a lot of work.
After the braised pork was finished, everyone began to chat while eating.
At the same time, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e also began to toast each table.
The first to toast was naturally the table with the highest seniority. Sitting on it were the Deaf Old Lady, First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and a few older elders.
"Old lady, uncles, thank you for coming to my wedding today. Xiao'e and I will drink first.”
"Damao, you're an adult after you get married. You have to live well with your wife in the future. You can't be as unruly as before.”
"That's for sure. Old Madam, Old Masters, you guys have a good meal. I'll go to the other tables to toast first.”
When Xu Damao heard that something was wrong, he quickly ended the toast at this table and brought Lou Xiao'e to the next table.
One table after another was toasted. Soon, it was Wang Jianjun and Yan Jiecheng's table.
"Come, come, come. Brothers, let's have a drink together. Thank you for coming today.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Wang Jianjun, Yan Jiecheng, and the others could raise their glasses, Xu Damao drank first. Clearly, he was already a little drunk.
Lou Xiao'e smiled embarrassedly at everyone, then toasted everyone on behalf of Xu Damao before leading him to the next table.
Fortunately, there were only about ten tables in total. After Wang Jianjun and the others, only Silly Zhu Qin Huiru's table was left.
"Hey, isn't this my good brother Silly Zhu? Why did you drink yourself to the ground before this bro came to propose a toast? This isn't right. Get up quickly, let's continue drinking.”
Although Silly Zhu had indeed drunk a little too much, it was obvious that he was lying on the table on purpose.
There was nothing he could do. He really couldn't say any words of blessing to Xu Damao. He originally thought that Xu Damao would ignore him after seeing that he had " drunk too much." He didn't expect this guy to deliberately show off to him.
This time, Silly Zhu could no longer tolerate it. Ignoring Qin Huairu's dissuasion, he started drinking with Xu Damao.
After a few glasses of wine, the two of them were completely drunk.
"Silly…Pillar... Not only did I get married before you today, but I also got married to such a…Good wife, just say that you're convinced…Are you not convinced?"
"I'm impressed... Bullsh * t, Xu Damao, let me tell you, I'll find someone a hundred times better than your wife in a few days…Just wait and see…Alright, isn't it just marrying a capitalist's daughter? What's there to be proud of, Xu Damao?”
"You…Silly Zhu…This bear, he still wanted to find a…To marry someone a hundred times better than my wife, I think you're... Daydreaming, right, daydreaming!”
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more ridiculous, Old Xu and the first uncle could not sit still anymore. They quickly walked over and pulled the two of them apart.
"Old Xu, Silly Zhu just drank too much and spouted nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I'll send him to his room first.”
"Yes, Grandpa Yi, it's okay. You're a young man. It's understandable that you drank a few more glasses.”
Old Xu also sent Xu Damao into the house and asked Lou Xiao'e to look after him before coming out to continue accompanying him.
However, everyone had almost finished eating. The reason why they didn't leave the banquet just now was because they wanted to watch the show. Now that the show was over, they naturally went back to their homes.
Wang Jianjun went back the moment Old Xu and Yi Zhonghai came out. With so many elders present today, Silly Zhu and Xu Damao couldn't make a scene.
It was so cold outside, but it was still more comfortable to return to his own home.
