Chapter 1557 Putting the blame on others (3 more

The Song family went back, and Grandma Zhou carried her own luggage and stayed at her son-in-law's house again.

Mother-in-law is not at home, although she has to handle everything by herself, Mrs. Zhou is not annoyed at all. If mother-in-law is not at home, there is no chance to chat with Zhou Xialong, and Zhou Xialong has less chance to go back on his word.

Sister-in-law Zhou was in a good mood, happily waiting for the girl to get married. After the girl formally held the wedding banquet, she would be able to enjoy the blessings and not have to stay in the countryside as a peasant woman.

In mid-April, Zhou Chunmei's prospective husband-in-law's family discussed with Liu's family the number of tables and the number of people at the banquet, and how many invitations they planned to send out.

The surname of Zhou Chunmei's object is Li, and the surname Li is the most common surname in the country. It is not only the most populous surname in China, but also has the most Chinese people with the surname Li overseas. It can be said that in the world, every country with human beings has Chinese people with the surname Li.

The surname Li is also the top surname in Shishi. There are people with the surname Li in every township, most of whom have the same surname and different clans. There are not many famous people in modern times, but there are quite a lot of family gentry-level rich men.

Zhou Chunmei's partner is named Li Yao. It is said that the five elements lack soil, and the family also lacks soil, so three soils were used when naming him.

The Li family seized the opportunity to invest in mines in 90 and made a lot of money. When others were still ten thousand yuan households, they were 10 yuan households. Later, they bought several stores in Shishi. Because of the strict mining management in recent years, The Li family relies on appearances to make money, and they are still properly millionaires.

The Li family and the Liu family agreed on a banquet, and the Liu family sent invitations to invite relatives and friends, and also gave the Zhou family ten places for the Zhou family members to have a banquet.

Sister-in-law Zhou went back to her natal family and brought back more than a dozen invitations, which she sent to Zhou Xialong, who had the same surname as Zhou.

Brother Zhou didn't say anything, and sent the invitation to the Zhou family's Tongzong. As for what was said, only he and the Tongzong knew, and only the Zhou family knew whether to go or not.

Tomb-sweeping Day is a national holiday, and Young Master Yan doesn’t have time to go back to Yan’s and He’s tombs in the capital. He and his teammates take turns to let teammates who haven’t visited their hometowns for several years go back to their hometowns to worship their relatives until the middle of the month. Returning with several teams that went out on missions, he took his men to the southwest border to perform reconnaissance missions in person.

In April of the new calendar, office workers don't feel any difference. The agriculture-based countryside has entered a busy period in spring and summer, and they are busy working in the fields every day.

Happy father Zhou Qiufeng arranges the work in the field in an orderly manner, so he can get busy. Brother Zhou often goes to work, and sister-in-law Zhou takes care of the fields and land. She is so tired every day that her back hurts and she is more and more concerned about the existing life. Impatient, envious and longing for the leisurely life of city people.

Tired every day, Mrs. Zhou cheered herself up silently. Soon, the girl will get married soon. When Chunmei gets married, she can go to the city to enjoy the happiness.

The days passed day after day in Mrs. Zhou's expectation, and it was the end of April in a blink of an eye.

May Day is a national holiday, with three days off. In 2020, May Day falls on Friday. Because it is connected with the weekend, and next Monday and Tuesday will also be public holidays. Therefore, there are five days off for May Day holiday together with the weekend.

April 4th is the last shift for office workers before the festival. After finishing the shift of the day, they will have a holiday. Zhou Chunmei got married on May 30st. According to the custom, the guests of the bride's family arrive on the first day, and the guests of Liu's family also On the 30th, they arrived at Liu's house one after another.

My daughter is not getting married at Zhou's house. Brother Zhou gave his daughter face and went to grandma's house with his wife on the morning of the 30th. As for Zhou's family members, none of them went.

Grandma Zhou didn't go, neither did Zhou Qiufeng, the village head Zhou didn't go, the close relatives of the Zhou family not only didn't go, they didn't bring red envelopes, and the girl from the Zhou family got married in Liu's house, so why should the Zhou family put their hot face on the cold of others? butt?
Zhou Chunmei didn't have the Zhou family in her heart, and it seemed that the Zhou family had no backbone when they went to the Liu's family for dinner.

No one from the Zhou family came, and the Liu family didn't care at all. It didn't matter whether the Zhou family came or not, anyway, as long as Zhou Chunmei got married in the Liu family, it was fine for the Li family's car and dowry to come to the Liu family to meet her.

However, Liu Jiagui was afraid that Zhou Xialong would repent and make a fuss when Li's family came to pick up his relatives and saw the betrothal gift, so he especially told his family to keep Zhou Xialong's attention and not let him make trouble.

So, wherever Brother Zhou went, he was accompanied and greeted enthusiastically. He was very calm, and stayed for one night calmly, and also ushered in the first day of May.

Zhou Chunmei was dragged away to put on makeup before dawn, and she returned just before breakfast. After the meal, she touched up her makeup again, changed her wedding dress, and then sat in her boudoir waiting for someone to welcome her.

It was past eight o'clock after Liu's family had breakfast, and the Li family's wedding car arrived at Liu's family around nine o'clock. The Li family was quite shameless, and rented a dozen or so cars as floats. The bride's car was a black Audi.

There was a long queue of welcoming cars, and along with the cars came various gifts necessary for local weddings.

According to the custom, the betrothal gift must be dried in front of relatives and friends. After drying the gift, the man's family will eat tea and fruit, and then go to welcome the bride.

When the groom led people into Liu's house, Brother Zhou finally saw the real person. With just one glance, he couldn't help but frowned. The young man who was supposed to be his son-in-law was a bit short, by visual inspection, he was a bit shorter than him, and he wasn't very young either. , looking clearly in their thirties.

The son-in-law-to-be also looks like a popular face, and he is well groomed. In terms of appearance, he is about the same as Zhou Chunmei. He still knows his own girl. Zhou Chunmei is not a big beauty. He wants to find a handsome young man like Le Yun knows is impossible.

If the prospective son-in-law is sincerely living with Zhou Chunmei, Zhou Chunmei can cherish the blessings and live a happy life in the future. If the prospective son-in-law is not comfortable in the house, Chunmei will inevitably suffer anger when living in such a family.

His own daughter is still satisfied even though she knows she is not in the right family. Brother Zhou feels that he has nothing to say. Chunmei chooses her own husband, so let her do it.

When the Li family moved the betrothal gift to the Liu family, several relatives of the Liu family surrounded Zhou Xialong. Brother Zhou smiled calmly: "You don't have to be on guard against me causing trouble. I have something to say first. Zhou Chunmei married in the Liu family. From now on, your Liu family will be Zhou Chunmei." My natal family, if you can do this, I won’t make a fuss. Of course, if you accept the dowry and stop being Zhou Chunmei’s natal family someday, I will chop down the gate of your Liu family at any time and make a mess. No one wants a face."

The Liu family was almost overwhelmed by Zhou Xialong's blunt words. When they saw the man who came to welcome them into the house, they were afraid that the man would hear something, so they didn't speak again, lest Zhou Xialong say something earth-shattering again.

The man's betrothal gifts were released one by one. When the gift money was posted, the person in charge of singing in the Liu family paused, looked in Zhou Xialong's direction, and because the man's staff were all present, he had to sing, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Singing: "The gift cash is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, which means forever."

"Wow, so rich."

"The son-in-law's family is so generous."

"..."

The more the man attaches importance to the woman, the more dowry gifts he will give. The man gave [-] yuan in cash, which shows that he is very satisfied with the woman.

Everyone sighed enviously, Brother Zhou suddenly realized that the man had promised a gift of [-] yuan, no wonder the Liu family wanted Zhou Chunmei to marry in the Liu family.

Brother Zhou looked at the Liu family, and saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law Liu Jiagui also looking at him. The members of the Liu family were obviously very nervous, so he smiled meaningfully. The gift of [-] yuan is very heavy, and I hope they will be able to bear it. .

Liu Jiagui had a guilty conscience and kept secretly watching his brother-in-law. Seeing his brother-in-law showing a strange smile, his heart skipped a beat. Zhou Xialong wouldn't be holding back any big moves to embarrass the Liu family, right?
He didn't know what to do, waited anxiously for the ceremony to finish, and quietly found his family members who helped him keep an eye on Zhou Xialong, and repeatedly entrusted them to keep a close watch on him, not to let Zhou Xialong do anything wrong to embarrass the Liu family.

The person in charge of "entertaining" Zhou Xialong had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't say it clearly. It was also because Zhou Chunmei was married in the Liu family. If something happened to the wedding, the entire Liu family would be ashamed. They bit the bullet and accepted the trust, and followed Zhou Xialong .

Brother Zhou didn't mind the few people around him at all, and he completely regarded himself as a spectator.

After the dowry, the man who came to pick up the bride sat and ate tea and sweets. After sitting for about ten minutes, they went to pick up the newlyweds. Someone from the Liu family blocked the door, and the man's house stuffed a lot of red envelopes before they could enter and pick up the bride.

The groom receives the bride and has to say goodbye to his parents when he leaves home.

The Liu family had already made preparations. Chairs were set up in front of the ancestral altar directly opposite the door of the main room. Grandparents, uncles and uncles sat on one side, and the bride's biological parents sat on the other side.

Brother Zhou was very face-saving, and quietly cooperated with the Liu family's arrangement, sitting where the bride's father should sit, with no joy or sorrow, and a calm expression.

The guests welcoming the bride and the spectators nearby saw that there were grandpas sitting in the high hall, and the bride's grandmother and the elders of Zhou's grandparents were missing, so they couldn't help but quiet down.

The Li family was puzzled, and it was hard to ask. The Xipo who came to pick up the bride arranged for the bride and groom to bid farewell to the bride's parents and served tea.

Sister-in-law Zhou was overjoyed, and quickly took a sip of the tea.

The bridegroom's father didn't reach out, and the mother rushed to drink tea. The wife was even more surprised, and urged the bride and groom to say goodbye to their father.

The bridegroom officer raised the tea tray a little higher and bid farewell to his father-in-law.

Brother Zhou looked at his son-in-law kneeling on the red carpet, and said in a calm voice, "The ancients said that a woman obeys her father at home, but my girl is not like this. My girl listened to her grandparents, uncles, aunts and mother most since she was a child before she came out. , if there is anything wrong with Chunmei in the future, you can discuss it with Chunmei's grandparents, uncles and aunts."

Brother Zhou said a lesson, he didn't ask the man any more questions, took a sip of tea, and gave a red envelope symbolically, he said everything he should say, in the future, the Li family should not blame him for Zhou Chunmei's bad behavior In terms of people, he is also a reasonable party.

Zhou Chunmei is a bride, soaked in the honey water of happiness, she has no time to think about other things, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with what her father said.

Sister-in-law Zhou didn't think too much, she was proud of having a rich son-in-law.

When Zhou Xialong spoke, Liu Jiagui was afraid that he might say something bad, so he was sweating anxiously. Fortunately, Zhou Xialong didn't say anything that would make Liu's family come down, so he let go of his worries.

Zhou Xialong didn't make a fuss, and the Liu family was secretly relieved.

The people who came to pick up the bride from the Li family felt more and more weird. The father of the groom said that the girl did not listen to his father's instructions at home, and asked the groom to go directly to his uncle's house if he had anything to do in the future. What did he mean?
The bride's father received the tea and gave the red envelope, and there were spectators watching. It was inconvenient for the relatives and friends of the Li family to say more. Li Yao was full of doubts, and he couldn't ask his father-in-law if he had anything for him or the bride price. Dissatisfied, he bid farewell to his parents-in-law, and then bid farewell to the bride's grandfather's parents.

Grandpa Liu and the others were afraid of unexpected troubles, so they took tea and drank it, and gave them red envelopes, telling them to set off at an auspicious time.

The Li family helped up the newcomer, left the Liu family, boarded the car, and returned to the Li family.

The Li family picked up the bride, and the guests at the Liu family also went to the hotel to sit in cars one after another.

When the guests all went to the car, Brother Zhou calmly told his parents-in-law that he would not go to the hotel for dinner, and went back to Jiudao first.

As soon as he left, Liu Jiagui was completely relieved, and rushed to the hotel with the relatives and friends of the Liu family to sit at the table first.

The motorcade of Li's family left from Liu's house and returned to Li's house around ten o'clock. They paid homage to the high hall, went through some tedious etiquette, and sent the newlyweds to stay for a while. It took several ten minutes before they went to the hotel.

The man’s relatives arrived at the hotel, and the banquet started soon. During the banquet, the bride and groom toasted. When the toast came to the bride’s natal home, they walked around and found that the bride’s father was missing. Said that the groom's father didn't come to the hotel because he felt uncomfortable because he couldn't bear his daughter to get married, so he prevaricated.

Although the attitude of the bride's father-in-law was a bit strange, the wedding was still very successful. After eating the noodles in the hotel, the two guests went to the man's family and the daughter's family, and each family entertained them separately.

The guests of Li's family had a bridal chamber at night according to the custom, and they went home one after another after breakfast the next day.

After sending off some of the elders, the newlyweds return to the woman’s natal home—commonly known as Huimen.

The Liu family's guests were still there, and they waited until Zhou Chunmei returned home, had lunch, and then returned to their respective homes.

It is normal for newlyweds not to stay at her mother's house when she returns home. Zhou Chunmei and Li Yao had lunch at her grandmother's house and then returned to Li's house.

When I returned home, I still only saw my mother-in-law. Li Yao felt very uneasy. On the way back, he asked at a place where there were few cars on the road: "Chunmei, I didn't see my father at noon yesterday, and I haven't seen my father today. Is there anything dissatisfied with my father-in-law?" place?"

"No." Zhou Chunmei, who was immersed in the fantasy of happiness, felt guilty for a while. She didn't even tell her father and grandmother that the person she was talking about got married. She was afraid that her father would be unhappy. When her uncle and mother asked her to marry at her grandmother's house, she There was no objection.

"Yesterday was such an important day, and my younger brother didn't come back." The girl of the Zhou family was married, and the same family members of the Zhou family were not present, only the bride's parents were present. Everyone in the Li family felt weird.

"Tianming is studying. It's too far away. It's troublesome to take a car." Zhou Chunmei felt even more guilty. She called her younger brother. Originally, Tianming had promised to come back. Later, when she heard that she was getting married at her grandmother's house, she refused to go home to attend the meeting. her wedding.

"You can take the plane. I said earlier that I'm responsible for my brother's round-trip air ticket. Besides, I didn't see grandma yesterday." It doesn't matter if others are not present, but the old lady of the Zhou family didn't show up on such an important occasion, so it doesn't fit sense.

"I...my grandma is probably dissatisfied with me getting married at my grandmother's house." Zhou Chunmei was at a loss when asked three consecutive questions, panicked, and would naturally show her flaws.

Li Yao immediately grasped Guan Jian's point: "Didn't you say that your parents have no objection to where you get married? Since grandma doesn't agree with you marrying at grandma's house, of course you have to follow grandma's wishes, it's so important Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"You are marrying me, and you are not marrying my family members. Where is it different?" Zhou Chunmei suddenly felt aggrieved. The Li family married her as a wife, not her family. It doesn't matter where she gets married. .

"How can it be the same? You are a girl from the Zhou family, and you are closer in blood to the Zhou family. Your grandma, brother, and aunt are your close relatives. Your mother is a married woman from the Liu family. You are separated from your uncle's house by several floors. They are cousins ​​with the Liu family's children." Li Yao really wanted to split Zhou Chunmei's head open to see what was inside, but he couldn't even tell the most basic difference between closeness and closeness.

Zhou Chunmei turned her face away angrily and didn't speak.

Li Yao didn't know what to say, and didn't argue with Zhou Chunmei. The Zhou family was dissatisfied with Zhou Chunmei getting married in the Liu family, so all relatives and friends of the same clan refused to attend the wedding. Take it easy.
