Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 587

No wonder there was such a rush, Chen Yang thought, even in Shanghai, the wedding invitation should be sent out half a month in advance.

Getting married the day after tomorrow, and posting a post today, to put it seriously, it means disrespecting people.

As far as Du Zikun's virtue is concerned, and for the sake of the dumb nanny, Chen Yang doesn't care, nor does the neighbors.

Besides, the dumb nanny is already Mr. Feng's goddaughter, and everyone has to give Mr. Feng face.

Holding a banquet at home was not only the dumb nanny's idea, but also Mr. Feng's decision.

The banquet was jointly organized by Feng Du and his family.

According to the old rules of the hutong, the main invites are Jia Chenlu and Yu Sijia.However, people in the alley who are close to Feng Du's family also received invitations.

Du Zikun didn't have many friends, and his relatives were all out of town, so most of the people he invited were his colleagues.

There are many customers in Feng's family, besides relatives, friends and unit leaders, there are also Mr. Feng's students.

Except for Jia Chenlu from the four families, the other invited guests were all from a family of two.

However, there was one thing that made Jia Chenlu and the four families in trouble.

Feng's family married, Du's family married, how can this ceremony be followed?Whether it is a gift or two.

Not to mention, not only Jia Nantang and Yu Xin were in a dilemma, but even the Lu family thought of this problem.

Now Cheng Shanshan pays attention to the relationship with her neighbors and is trying her best to integrate into the Hutong environment.

Cheng Shanshan had Yu Xin's phone number, so he contacted Yu Xin and said he wanted to discuss the matter face to face.

Yu Xin also couldn't make up his mind, so he suggested discussing with Jia Nantang and Chen Yang, at least everyone had a unified understanding and acted in the same way.

Jia Nantang agreed to discuss it, because he was also an old revolutionary who encountered new problems.

Everyone come to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was cleaning the car in the garage, so he quickly invited everyone to sit down in the main room, and asked Mama Zhang to make tea and cigarettes.

Jia Nantang said: "Our four families have different economic conditions, so the amount of money can be as much or as little as you want. It doesn't need to be unified, everyone decides it by themselves. But whether it is one share or two, everyone should agree on it."

Cheng Shanshan smiled slightly, "I don't know the rules in this area, I'll listen to everyone."

Yu Xin was a little distracted, because Cheng Shanshan was sitting next to him, and the smell of perfume made his IQ short-circuit.

Jia Nantang reminded, "Yu Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Xin let out a cry, blushing a little, and hurriedly said: "I listen to everyone, I listen to everyone."

Jia Nantang had no choice but to look at Chen Yang, "Xiao Chen, you said, you come from the countryside, and the rules in the countryside are the most."

Chen Yang smiled, "Old Jia, this is big Shanghai, and the rules of the countryside don't apply."

Jia Nantang smiled and said: "On the contrary. Everyone has two or three generations of peasant origin, and no one is more noble than the other. As far as Shanghai is concerned, 90.00% of the customs and habits come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, that is, All from the countryside."

Cheng Shanshan looked at Chen Yang and said, "Xiao Chen, come and listen to me."

Chen Yang said: "In the countryside, as many favors as there are, you have to give as many gifts. When I got married, I didn't accept gifts. When my second brother got married, he accepted gifts. There are quite a few families who take two gifts."

Cheng Shanshan didn't believe it, "Are two gifts a lot for a family?"

"For example, if this family has a relationship with our family, he must bring a gift. And his son is a friend of my second brother, so his son has to bring another gift. I remember one family, on the one hand, with Our family has a relationship, and his two sons are friends with my second brother, so he followed with three gifts."

Jia Nantang nodded, "Xiao Chen, you are right. This is the custom in China. That is to say, we also have to follow two gifts."

Chen Yang nodded his head and said: "The actual situation is like this. The Feng family married a daughter, so we have to give a gift. The Du family married a wife, so we have to give a gift too."

Yu Xin agreed, "When we have a happy event in the future, they will have to send gifts separately, and we can also receive two gifts."

Cheng Shanshan nodded and asked, "How much money is appropriate for the share?"

Jia Nantang smiled and said: "Xiao Cheng, you have to discuss this with Xiao Chen. Because relatively speaking, you are rich people. As for me and Xiao Yu, we are working class, with a large number of people in our family, we can only do what we can And do."

Cheng Shanshan said to Chen Yang, "Xiao Chen, give me the number."

Chen Yang took out the invitation card, looked at it, and said, "There is something special about it, you may not have noticed it. If the invitation says that your couple is coming, it means that there is a limit on the number of people, and the gift money can be less. And give us On the invitation card, it is written that the whole family is invited to come, so we have to give a little more money."

Yu Xin nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, you're still more thoughtful."

Jia Nantang asked Yu Xin, "Small, how much do we pay?"

"It's not easy for Lao Du to get married, let's offer 66 yuan each."

"Okay, 66 per copy."

Chen Yang said, "I'm going to buy 120 yuan each."

Cheng Shanshan said: "Me too, 120 per copy. I just don't understand why there is a fraction?"

Chen Yang gestured at Jia Nantang, and said with a smile, "I'll ask a custom expert to explain this."

Jia Nantang said: "There are two kinds of good events, one is red good events, and the other is white good events, which are collectively referred to as red and white happy events. White weddings come with gifts, and generally there are fractions, and this fraction is an odd number. For example, 21, 31, 51, etc. In some places, it can also be an integer, such as twenty, thirty, fifty and so on."

"As for red wedding ceremony, there are two special points. One is that it cannot be a whole number. Thirty, fifty, and one hundred are all taboo. Second, fractions cannot be odd numbers, but even numbers are also particular. Fractions can be Two, six and eight cannot be four, because four death sounds the same, which is very unlucky."

Cheng Shanshan said, "Thank you, Professor Jia, I have been taught."

Cheng Shanshan nodded to Chen Yang and Yu Xin, got up and left.

Yu Xin's eyes followed Cheng Shanshan's back.

Jia Nantang snarled at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang suppressed a smile.

Jia Nantang coughed hard twice before calling Yu Xin's soul back.

Looking at the expressions of Chen Yang and Jia Nantang, Yu Xin smiled embarrassedly.

"I lost my temper. You two, I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

Jia Nantang was blunt, "Yu Yu, don't forget that you have a wife. It's reasonable for Xiao Chen to be like this, but you can't."

Yu Xin smiled, "Thank you senior for reminding me."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Old Jia, I can't do it either. Cheng Shanshan has a husband, so I can't let a third party get involved."

"Xiao Chen, what you said is wrong."

"how do I say this?"

Jia Nantang said: "Everyone has the love of beauty. You and Xiao Yu love and admire beauty, there is no problem at all."

"Hehe, I seriously agree with that."

"You're single, and it's even more natural to love beauty, admire beauty, and be envious. It's only natural for you to seek beauty, rob beauty and steal beauty."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Old Jia, you are starting to talk nonsense."

Jia Nantang shook his head, "Actually, less than that is wishful thinking, and Cheng Shanshan's real goal is someone else."
