Chapter 47: Jia Zhang's Show
So, a very interesting scene took place in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
He Daqing went from house to house inviting people to attend the wedding and help. As soon as he left, Jia Zhang took Xu Youliang's hand and followed him, inviting the neighbors.
Jia Zhang had a loud voice, and as she spoke, she called out all the neighbors from the three courtyards in front, middle and back.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Jia Zhang pulled Xu Youliang, whose face was as black as charcoal, and said to the crowd,
"Since everyone is here today, I will announce that I plan to marry Xu Youliang on New Year's Day. Everyone please come. I will host a banquet for everyone the next day!"
When these words were spoken, the neighbors in the yard looked at each other in amazement.
As early as a few days ago, it was rumored that Jia Zhang was looking for a partner, and many women came to her house to propose marriage. However, no one expected that Jia Zhang would find a partner so quickly.
However, looking at Xu Youliang standing next to Jia Zhang, the neighbors also secretly admired Jia Zhang.
This Jia Zhang is so eager to get married that she is even willing to marry such an ugly man.
Of course, they would not say anything bad on the surface. After expressing their congratulations to Jia Zhang on the spot, they turned around and went back to their own rooms and started gossiping one by one.
"Our compound is really strange. A widower married an 18-year-old girl, and a widow married an old man in his forties. And it happened on the same day!"
"What do you mean forty years old? Didn't Jia Zhang say that her husband is only in his thirties?"
"Haha, it's just a matter of face. I think Jia Zhang is attracted by the fact that he works in a grain store!"
This is the case with neighbors. On the surface, they look friendly and say nicer things to each other, but once they get home, all kinds of unpleasant and sarcastic words come out.
Listening to the discussions of each household, He Daqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He knew very well that the reason why Jia Zhang chose to get married on the same day as him was simply to suppress him. Haha, Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang, you thought you were so great, but in the eyes of the neighbors, you are just a clown!
He Daqing was too lazy to compete with such a person. He gave Qin Huairu everything he should give and just lived his own life.
And in the west room.
Jia Zhang's smiling face immediately fell as she entered the room.
She turned and looked at Xu Youliang.
"There is food. Does what you said before still count?"
"Ah? It counts!"
Xu Youliang was stunned, not knowing what Jia Zhang meant.
To be honest, it’s only half a month away from New Year’s Day, and Xu Youliang is still very satisfied with this day.
"As for the marriage, everything is up to me!"
Jia Zhang looked extremely serious.
"That's a must!"
Xu Youliang nodded without hesitation.
"Well."
Jia Zhang said directly,
"You don't know that the He Daqing I met today stole my son's girlfriend. So, I married him on the same day just to get my revenge!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Youliang suddenly understood.
No wonder Jia Zhang was so excited when she saw He Daqing, and the neighbors were pointing and talking about them. It turns out there was this story behind it.
Thinking of this, Xu Youliang couldn't help but glance at Jia Dongxu.
But Jia Dongxu looked indifferent.
"Mom, you can't blame Uncle He... After all..."
"All right!"
Jia Zhang interrupted her son directly. Her son was too honest. Even though he was bullied like this, he didn't dare to lose his temper. This matter had to be handled by her as a mother.
Jia Zhang looked at Xu Youliang and said,
"He Daqing bought his wife a sewing machine and a Forever brand bicycle. Everyone in the hospital knew about it."
"As for me, I don't want any bicycles or sewing machines from you. I don't have so many requirements. I just want you to think of a way to pick up the bride on the wedding day with ten Forever bicycles!"
Xu Youliang stood up immediately and asked, "Ten Forever bicycles?"
He understood that marriage was about show, after all, for a woman, it could prove that she had married the right person. But in this era, not everyone had a bicycle.
The Forever brand bicycles have only been on the market for less than a year. Where can I find so many bicycles?
He, Xu Youliang, was just an ordinary shop clerk.
"I do not care!"
Jia Zhangshi was full of aura.
"Anyway, I've already said it today. If you don't mind being embarrassed, then I won't marry you!"
Xu Youliang, "..."
He finally met someone who was willing to marry him, and now that they had come to the stage of getting married, how could Xu Youliang be willing to give up?
"Xiao Zhang, this is a big deal. Please let me go back and think of a solution. I'll do my best, okay?"
Xu Youliang's confidence in speaking was reduced by half.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Jia Zhang naturally knew that this matter was rather difficult to handle, but if Xu Youliang couldn't even solve this difficulty, then how could she expect to be happy if she married him?
Xu Youliang left.
He looked flustered when he came.
I was heavy-hearted when I left.
The burden on my shoulders has become heavier.
Ten bicycles, where can I find so many bicycles?
When he thought of this, Xu Youliang felt a huge headache.
"Mom, aren't you embarrassing me?"
Watching Xu Youliang leave, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but look at Jia Zhang with a reproachful look.
His mother finally found a partner. Although the partner was a little ugly, he could see that Uncle Xu really liked his mother.
Now he is waiting for their wedding to be completed smoothly as soon as possible so that he can date Xu Huizhi. But now, if Uncle Xu doesn’t have ten bicycles, wouldn’t the marriage be ruined again?
"Do you think Mom wants to embarrass others? Dongxu, Mom is doing this for your own good!"
Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at her son, snorted, and turned to cook.
Days passed, and New Year's Day was approaching. On the day before the wedding, Qin Huairu also took a bus from her hometown to the courtyard and temporarily lived in the house of the deaf old lady in the backyard.
There is no way. Qinjia Bay is too far away. If we follow the normal process, it will probably be too late to get here.
Living here saves a lot of trouble. We can just hold the ceremony in front of everyone at noon tomorrow and it will be complete.
The neighbors of the courtyard all gathered towards the central courtyard.
He Daqing and Jia Zhang are both getting married, and as neighbors, they naturally want to come and help.
The women helped to cut window flowers and paste couplets, while the men helped to carry some things.
There were quite a lot of people in the yard, so He Daqing simply rented ten tables and even invited several chefs from Fengze Garden to prepare his wedding banquet.
He made Yi Zhonghai the general manager, responsible for counting and moving all materials, and Yan Bugui was in charge of the gift room, registering the neighbors' contributions.
When people have been busy all day and taste the delicious food prepared by the chefs of Fengzeyuan, they immediately feel that all the hard work is worth it.
"As expected of the chef of Fengze Garden, his cooking skills are excellent."
“We are in for a treat this time.”
The neighbors praised the food highly and naturally worked extra hard.
In comparison, the Jia family's side was a bit deserted.
Although she also invited the neighbors, because she was getting married and she didn't entertain anyone for dinner or anything like that, and she didn't have any good relationships with them on a daily basis, very few people came to help.
Only a few women came over to help decorate some things out of courtesy.
"He Daqing, when we get married tomorrow, I'm going to make you look good!"
Jia Zhang looked at the lively scene in the yard through the window, but a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Just the day before yesterday, Xu Youliang came to see her. They had gathered ten Forever brand bicycles. When Xu Youliang brought people to pick up the bride tomorrow, she, Jia Zhang, would steal everyone's limelight.
The bride-picking ceremony takes place much earlier than the wedding ceremony. With ten bicycles of her own as a comparison, she wanted to see how He Daqing and Qin Huairu's wedding would go on!
And at the same time.
In a large courtyard in Old Beijing, there are ten bicycles parked, all of which are tightly wrapped in red cloth. There is even a big red flower in the middle of the handlebars, which looks very festive.
However, looking at these ten cars, Xu Youliang frowned and was worried.
How could a common shop assistant like him afford ten Forever bicycles? Even these old bicycles in front of him were collected together with great difficulty by his neighbors.
Thanks to the idea given to him by the manager of the grain store, although these cars are old, as long as they are painted and wrapped with red cloth, they can not only show the joy of the wedding, but also successfully avoid the embarrassment of the brand.
However, I’m getting married tomorrow, and I don’t know if this method is reliable or not.
As Xu Youliang was worried, the sky gradually brightened.
