Chapter 50 Lively Wedding
The distance from Nanluoguxiang to the slum is not far, but for Xu Youliang and Jia Zhangshi, this journey seemed extremely long, as if it took a century.
It was not until they arrived at the gate of the slum and Jia Zhang was carried down by Xu Youliang that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Other people's weddings are full of joy, but for them, everything has become a joke.
Although Jia Zhang was dissatisfied, she understood at this time that this was Xu Youliang's home. Today was such an important day, and even if she was angry, she could only smile and deal with the marriage first.
"Hey, here comes the bride!"
"Don't mention it, it's quite beautiful!"
"Xu Youliang has finally made it through!"
As they appeared, the neighbors who had come to watch the fun also gathered around.
The slum is different from the courtyard house. It is very crowded and the people living here are of a mixed group. There are many bachelors, and their eyes when they look at Jia Zhang are full of aggression.
After all the trouble along the way, the auspicious time was almost here. With a burst of crackling firecrackers, Jia Zhang and Xu Youliang began their wedding ceremony under the gaze of everyone.
After the ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began.
Xu Youliang's neighbors and colleagues sat at several tables and started eating lively. As for Jia Dongxu, since he represented the Jia Zhang family, he sat at the upper table, and there were always people sitting next to him to drink and eat.
"Come on, young man, eat some vegetables!"
"Oh, okay, okay!"
While eating, Jia Dongxu looked around.
They thought that although Xu Youliang's conditions were a little worse than theirs, the neighbors seemed quite welcoming, and it would not be bad for my mother to marry here.
However, at this moment, Jia Dongxu did not notice that many women looked at him with strange eyes.
"Look, that's Widow Zhang's son. He's grown this big now."
"It's a buy one get one free deal. If Old Xu can't have children, wouldn't it be like picking up a big baby for free?"
"Haha, you are really good at talking."
There are no shortage of gossips everywhere, especially in this slum. Many women gathered together, glancing at Jia Dongxu from time to time, and then talking about him in a flurry.
In the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
As the auspicious time arrived, He Daqing, surrounded by the crowd, carried the dressed-up Qin Huairu out from the backyard.
Today, both of them were wearing brand new clothes.
Thirty-five-year-old He Daqing is energetic and handsome.
The eighteen-year-old Qin Huairu, wearing a red dress and with painted eyebrows and eyes, was particularly charming.
The two of them standing together immediately attracted a lot of envy from people.
"He Daqing really knows how to live life. Marrying such a beautiful wife is really enviable."
"Although she is young, she is also very hardworking. When she came to our hospital, she helped He Daqing with a lot of work!"
"Kiss me, kiss me!"
The huge yard was bustling with activity.
In front of everyone, He Daqing and Qin Huairu bowed to heaven and earth, and even kissed Qin Huairu. He was not afraid of being shy and pointed at Xu Wude who was standing in the crowd.
"Lao Xu, take a picture for us!"
Today is a happy wedding day, so of course we have to keep a souvenir.
As he spoke, He Daqing turned and looked at He Yuzhu and He Yushui who were not far away.
"You two come here too!"
Then, the family of four was together again.
Xu Wood, who was standing in the crowd, was stunned when he saw this scene.
You, He Daqing, are you up to this again?
Today, he gritted his teeth and gave He Daqing twenty yuan, hoping that He Daqing would shut up and let the matter go. But now it seems that He Daqing, this tough guy, is really not easy to mess with.
Never mind, I’m already prepared to be ripped off, so just take pictures.
So, as Xu Wude expected, he took several photos according to He Daqing's request.
The neighbors around were envious of this scene.
In this day and age, taking a photo is not cheap, and Xu Wood actually took so many photos of the He family.
When these words reached Xu Wood's ears, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Damn it, it's all my money.
How could He Daqing not be generous?
"very nice!"
Tao Huilan, standing in the crowd, looked at the bride and groom in front of her with envy in her eyes.
Although she had been mentally prepared, Tao Huilan still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she knew all this was happening right in front of her.
"Huilan, you don't look well. Do you want to go home and have a rest?"
Yi Zhonghai walked over and saw that his wife looked a little unhappy, so he couldn't help but express his concern.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just a little sleepy. Maybe it's because I got up too early."
Tao Huilan yawned. She didn’t know what was wrong with her these past two days, but she always felt sleepy. Her period should have come, but there was no sign of it.
"Don't forget to bring the gift money!"
Tao Huilan glanced at her husband and gave him an instruction.
"Don't worry, I've already done it!"
Yi Zhonghai smiled.
"He Daqing is our great benefactor, we must give him a gift!"
Hearing this, Tao Huilan suddenly remembered He Daqing's words: "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water..."
With everyone's witness, as the ceremony was completed, He Daqing took Qin Huairu and asked everyone to sit down and began to toast everyone one by one.
In order to make it lively, he set up ten tables and invited almost everyone in the hospital.
"Huai Ru, let me introduce you. This is Yan Bugui, this is his wife, and these are their children."
He Daqing took Qin Huairu to the table where Yan Bugui's family was sitting, and said with a smile,
"Yan Bugui is a cultured person in our school. He is a teacher at Red Star Primary School. If you have any questions in the future, just ask him!"
Seeing He Daqing praising him so highly, Yan Bugui immediately smiled modestly.
"No, no, I don't care about other things, but I wish you two a baby soon. When your child grows up, come to our school and I will take care of him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard burst into laughter, and Qin Huairu's pretty face turned red with embarrassment.
"There's no need to introduce this person, Xu Wude in the backyard. This is his son Xu Damao. He took a lot of photos of our family. If you want to take photos in the future, just go find him! Old Xu is a warm-hearted person!"
He Daqing pointed at Xu Wude again. He took a lot of photos of him, so he should at least toast to show his appreciation, right?
"Oh, no, no, you are too kind!"
When he heard that he was going to be asked to take photos again, Xu Wude was so scared that he stood up suddenly, and his glass was two centimeters lower when he clinked glasses with He Daqing.
He Daqing, He Daqing, I have taken so many photos of your family, and you are relying on me.
Xu Wood had lived for decades and particularly loved drinking at wedding banquets, but this was the first time he found the wedding banquet so bitter.
He Daqing smiled at him, and took Qin Huairu to Yi Zhonghai and Tao Huilan again.
"This is Yi Zhonghai and Tao Huilan, the couple from the east room of our central courtyard. Old Yi, Huilan, please take care of our Huairu from now on!"
