Chapter 112 It has to be the He family
There are two brothers in the Xu family. The eldest is Xu Mantang, who is Xu Huizhen's father.
And Xu Mancang is Xu Huizhi's father.
The two brothers originally lived in one compound, but after they each got married, the original compound became two compounds.
Moreover, the Xu family winery originally belonged to Xu Mantang. In the early years, Xu Mancang just worked for his brother. Although he has his own workshop in the past two years, his sales are still not as good as Xu Mantang's.
Now his daughter is about to get married, and her husband is a city dweller. This is a great pride for Xu Mancang.
Yes, isn’t it that people struggle for half of their lives just to live a better life?
What he had worked so hard for so many years but couldn't accomplish, his daughter soon achieved it!
The He Laonian family’s tavern is really great. It’s located in such a good location at Zhengyangmen. After my daughter marries there, she will definitely live a good life!
"Oh, look at Mancang showing off, his mouth is about to burst!"
"If my daughter could marry into the city, I would be proud too!"
"Look at Xu Mantang, he's quite low-key!"
The villagers of Niulanshan also gathered together, especially the women in the surrounding area. They were all sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, and their words showed envy for the Xu family.
In the midst of the excitement, someone shouted, "Someone's coming."
Everyone turned their heads and saw two men, one old and one young, carrying a bunch of snacks and gifts, walking towards them.
He Laonian and He Yongqiang were dressed particularly smartly today, so they attracted a lot of attention.
Perhaps because they knew that the He family ran a pub in Zhengyangmen, people looked at He Yongqiang with a filter in their eyes, and nodded in praise.
He Yongqiang smiled shyly, and under the gaze of everyone, he followed his father to the door of Xu Huizhi's house.
"Oh my, thank you for your hard work. Please come in, please come in quickly!"
Seeing He Laonian, Xu Mancang was overjoyed and quickly invited the two of them into the courtyard.
I feel very happy in my heart.
He knew that not only was his family getting engaged to the man today, but his brother was also preparing to welcome the He family.
But now, the first to arrive were He Laonian's family, while the legendary He family father and son never showed up.
What does this mean?
This shows that the He family attaches great importance to their family!
When he thought of this, Xu Mancang felt very proud.
These days, people in the village have no sense of distance. In the house, Xu Mancang and his wife were warmly entertaining He Laonian and his son, and they even talked about the bride price.
Outside the house, a group of wives and young people were eavesdropping in front of the window.
Whenever something is heard, it spreads quickly.
"Good fellow, he is indeed a tavern owner in Beijing. He actually gave the Xu family a betrothal gift of fifty yuan!"
"Those dim sum are old brands in Beijing, and they are very expensive!"
"The daughter of the old Xu family is so lucky. This father and son are so sincere!"
The villagers were talking to each other and it was very lively.
In comparison, Xu Mantang's home, just across the wall, was relatively deserted.
"Mantang, why hasn't anyone from the He family come yet? Are they not coming?"
Xu Huizhen's mother, Sun Shufen, couldn't help but frown when she heard the noise next door.
They were both talking about marriage, but her brother's wife's family was very lively while her own was quiet. As a mother, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even noon yet."
Xu Mantang glared at his wife, but he was actually quite anxious as well.
It’s not a matter of face, but they are afraid that something might happen to the He father and son without their knowledge.
After all, the journey is a bit far.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Mancang and He Laonian, father and son, had almost finished talking about everything, whether it was the bride price or the dowry, everything was made clear.
Of course, these words are said to outsiders. In fact, the two parties have already communicated in advance.
After hearing these conditions, the villagers of Niulanshan all praised the He family for being generous, because it was far beyond the standards for marrying a daughter-in-law in Niulanshan.
However, they also noticed something was wrong.
Yes, everything has been settled on Xu Mancang's side, but such a long time has passed and there is no sign of Xu Mantang.
"Is there going to be any problem over there?"
"Could it be that the He family is unwilling?"
"Nonsense, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about!"
Everyone started muttering in low voices.
"Hey, look, someone's coming!"
About an hour later, everyone saw two people walking towards the village entrance.
All of a sudden, these women rushed out in a swarm, more active and excited than Xu Mantang's family.
"Haha, hello everyone, hello everyone!"
"have you eaten?"
He Daqing greeted all the villagers enthusiastically. This was not the first time he had done this, so he was naturally very experienced.
As the distance gets closer, some people give out candies and some people smoke. It's so open and grand.
He Yuzhu also followed suit and greeted the villagers enthusiastically.
"Oh my god, it's the cigarette from Daqianmen!"
"It still has to be the generosity of the in-laws in the whole house!"
"This son-in-law looks good!"
The grasper has a short hand, and the eater has a short mouth.
The villagers didn't have much to say at first, but now, each of them was holding the small gifts given by the father and son, and they became more and more enthusiastic.
Yes, you see, they also came to discuss marriage, and the old He family should have a tavern, so they should have a lot of property, right? But they didn't give them anything.
As for the He family father and son in front of us, each of them really got one, and they were not stingy at all.
Look at what the He father and son are holding. In addition to some snacks, there is even so much pork. This really means a huge amount of money has been spent.
At Xu Mancang's house, Xu Mancang and He Laonian, who were originally chatting, heard the noise outside suddenly shift, and couldn't help but come out out of curiosity.
However, when the two saw the lively scene in front of Xu Mantang's house, their faces suddenly darkened.
Xu Mancang originally thought that the arrival of the He family today would make him feel very proud.
But at this moment, looking at the father and son of the He family next door, giving out cigarettes and candies to everyone, it was like a slap in the face to him.
Yes, no matter how well you speak, it is not as good as what others do.
Look at how the He family father and son speak and act, and then look at the He Laonian father and son. In comparison, the He family is a bit stingy.
He Laonian also looked a little embarrassed.
I cursed in my heart, you, He Daqing, have played the ways of the world so well, how can we, the He family, live our lives?
Under the gaze of countless people, He Daqing brought his son to Xu Mantang.
"Haha, father-in-law, nice to meet you. We left a little late, I'm so sorry..."
