Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 257 The Big Wedding Day
July fourteenth, Sunday, at five o'clock in the morning, the sky outside the house was already bright.

Xu Qing had already gotten up at this time.

But grandpa and grandma got up earlier than him, who was the groom's official.

The two old people had been looking forward to this day for a long time. In addition, they were getting old and had light sleep, so they started to get busy early in the morning.

Xu Aiguo, Xu Fengming, and the little girl didn't sleep in, and got up early one after another.

Eldest brother Xu Qing got married today, and his family had a happy event, how could they stay in bed.

Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming were going to pick up the bride with their elder brother in the morning. As younger brothers, it was their duty to do such a thing.

For the little girl, she will not go. She will help grandpa and grandma in the house and entertain relatives and friends.

Xu Guangjin, Xu Xuemei, and Xu Xuehong are Xu Qing's second father, third aunt, and fourth aunt.

The three of them came to the city on a tractor the day before yesterday.

Xu Qing's parents are not there, they live in the countryside, and they can't help much at ordinary times.

But when my nephew gets married, as an elder, he naturally has to help.

Xu Guangjin has been to the city more times than his sisters Xu Xuemei and Xu Xuehong. Compared with the people in the compound, he has met more times and is a little more familiar with them.

As for Xu Xuemei and Xu Xuehong, who are in their 40s, the days when they came to the compound are only a handful.

When Xu Qing's parents got married, they came once, and then when the eldest brother and sister-in-law passed away.

This is the third time.

Although the rural area where they live is not too far from Sijiu City.

The problem is that after they get married and have their own family, they have been living in their husband's house.

In addition, there are many things to do in the countryside. I have to be busy in the fields and have children. How can I have leisure time to visit relatives in the city.

Besides, for them, apart from Xu Qing's family, they have no relatives in the city.

Therefore, there are fewer opportunities to enter the city.

Xu Xuemei and Xu Xuehong stayed at the old lady's side for the past few nights, woke up early in the morning, folded the bedding neatly in the old lady's room, said hello to the old lady, and then came to Xu Qing's house.

The old branch secretary and his two sons live in Shazhu House. The three of them came here last night when it was dark. easy.

The Xu Qing family has many relatives, but not even one-tenth of them have come to the city.

If Xu Qing got married in the countryside, most of the village and all relatives would be alarmed.

There's no way, Xu Qing got married in the city, the mountains are far away, and most people don't have time, so only relatives from the same family came.

At this time, everyone in the compound also got up one after another.

Finally, another happy event was ushered in the compound, and everyone wanted to have fun with it.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui got up early and put on clean clothes. At the same time, he put away the pair of glasses he usually wore with one leg bent and put on a new pair.

Then pin the pen on his clothes, showing his demeanor as a teacher.

The third aunt also wanted to help Xu Qing. Well, she went to Xu Qing's house in the backyard early in the morning and walked around with the second aunt. Together with the first aunt, the three of them helped Shazhu prepare for the noon wedding banquet. All kinds of things at the banquet.

Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu also got up early, their own courtyard was already busy, so they could still sleep.

Xu Qing is the only cadre in the compound. This status, in these years, is something to be envied.

Over the years, the three elders in charge of the courtyard have taken the initiative to show their favor to Xu Qing from time to time.

Jia Zhang is not a fool. Seeing it in his eyes, although he was upset, he knew it.

Anyway, she can follow the light today, right?

Qin Huairu was not as fussy as Jia Zhangshi, after getting up and leaving the house, she followed the first mother and the others to work with Shazhu.

Qin Huairu knew that Xu Qing seldom helped her, but a favor from Xu Qing was worth more than Sha Zhu helping her for a year.

Xu Qing is a cadre, and if she said a word in the factory, it would be easier for her to say for ten days and a half months.

Especially after Dongxu's death, she took the initiative to find the factory, hoping that the factory would give her some pension for orphans and widows.

However, after the change of weather, the factory was in chaos. How could there be time to deal with this kind of thing? Didn't Xu Qing talk about it at the end, and within three days, she got a sum of money from the factory.

Regardless of the amount of money, at least I got it.

If it weren't for Xu Qing, she would be alone, and the factory might not be able to give her this money even in the year of the monkey.

How could Qin Huairu not forget this favor.

Of course, before looking for Xu Qing, it's not that Qin Huairu didn't look for the uncle in his courtyard.

But the problem is that the elder Yi Zhonghai, no matter how old he is in the factory, it's useless.

He was still an ordinary worker, and his words were not as effective as Xu Qing's.

As for Xu Qing's title of cadre, invisibly, it has saved the people working in the factory in the compound from a lot of trouble over the years.

Even if someone in the factory makes trouble with them, you have to weigh it up, whether you can, dare you.

Not to mention the far ones, but the ones nearby. Last month, Yan Xiecheng’s daughter-in-law Yu Li quarreled and got angry with someone in the factory. Her sharp mouth started talking unforgivingly, which made the other party so angry that she planned to find someone to fix her and Yan Xiecheng. .

In the end, Xu Qing came forward and settled it with a few words.

Now Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, a young couple, greet Xu Qing with smiles.

Xu Qing got married today, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li got married earlier than the couple, Yan Pugui just came out of the house, Yan Jiecheng took Yu Li to the backyard.

At this time, Xu Qing's room was full of people. Yu Li, Lou Xiao'e, and He Yushui, along with the little girl, together with Xu Qing's third and fourth aunts, helped to paste window grilles on the windows and paste red happy characters to decorate the wedding room.

Xu Qing wore the new clothes his grandma made for him, washed and tidied up, and stood in front of the two old people.

The two old people saw that the eldest grandson was lean and handsome after he had done a good job, and his eyes were full of love.

Xu Fengming on the side, while arranging his clothes, stretched out his hand to grab grandma's arm and said:

"Grandma, don't just look at my elder brother, you also look at me and my second brother."

"Okay, they all look good."

The old man turned his head and glanced at Xu Fengming and Xu Aiguo, but immediately turned back to Xu Qing.

After all, today is the eldest grandson's wedding, so her thoughts are naturally all on Xu Qing.

And He Yushui secretly glanced at Xu Qing twice, and couldn't help but blushed slightly, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, holding back his gaze.

But in my heart, I was happy for Xu Qing, but also felt a little bit disappointed.

Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e also looked at Xu Qing, their moods were different from Yu Yu's.

Yu Li works in the factory and knows that there are many female workers in the factory who have liked Xu Qing over the years, and there are not a few who want to marry Xu Qing.

And she was one of them at the beginning. After all, there is no female worker who does not want to marry a cadre to enjoy the blessings.

Moreover, Xu Qingchang is outstanding, good-looking, and cultured.

It's a pity that she didn't have that luck.

She had no choice but to make a second choice and chose Yan Jiecheng, but at this moment, Yu Li felt a little regretful, staring at Xu Qing blankly, her thoughts became complicated.

As for her cousin Yu Haitang, don't even think about it, she has no chance, so how can she be her turn.

I guess I'm crying secretly at home right now.

Lou Xiaoe had a different idea from Yu Li. Lou Xiaoe had never worked in the factory, and the first time she met Xu Qing was the day she married Xu Damao.

No matter how good-looking Xu Qing was, no matter how in line with her image of a man.

However, she has a bad background, so she hastily got engaged to Xu Damao in advance.

Even if he knew Xu Qing before meeting Xu Damao, he was destined to have no chance with Xu Qing.

Because of her family status, she could not marry a cadre.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was also wearing new clothes, stepped in from outside the house, which made Lou Xiaoe a little annoyed.

Since Lou Xiao'e quarreled with Xu Damao a few times at the beginning of the year and was raped by Xu Damao's family, she has become disheartened towards her man. Although she is back now, she has never given Xu Damao a good face.

Among them, there is not only her dislike of Xu Damao, but also her dislike of Xu Damao's parents.

If it weren't for the two parents-in-law getting involved, she and Xu Damao wouldn't be in the trouble they are now.

It's just a done deal, what can we do?

And Xu Damao didn't even glance at Lou Xiaoe.

As a result, Xu Damao's freshness towards Lou Xiao'e was gone.

Secondly, when Xu Damao saw that Lou Xiaoe hadn't conceived him a child in two years, he felt more and more in his heart that he must find a chance to divorce her in the future.

What's the use of her if she can't even give birth to a child!

"Qingzi, the driver is already driving at the entrance of the alley, you should hurry up and let's go."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he held the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, turned to Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming and said:
"What about you two? Your elder brother is getting married today, and you two are still dawdling here. Hurry up to eat and pick up your sister-in-law later. Don't be so hungry that you can't even open the door."

Hearing this, Xu Fengming smiled and said, "Brother Da Mao, there is still you, you have a big back, and you are here, so it must not be a problem."

Today, time is tight, tasks are heavy, and there are a lot of things to do. Xu Damao has no time to tease Feng Ming, so he turned around and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, San Huzi and the others have been taken over by me, you can make arrangements for them later."

Hearing this, Xu Qing turned around and said something to his second father, Xu Guangjin, and then the two walked out of the house, towards San Huzi and his party.

San Huzi is not doing as well as he wants now. Since the change of the sky, it has become more and more difficult for him to make a living as a second-hand dealer.

For the time being, he can still make ends meet, but it is impossible to live a little bit more nourished like before.

Xu Qing took out a few packs of cigarettes and threw them to San Huzi, asking him to listen to his second father Xu Guangjin's arrangement.

Xu Guangjin smiled foolishly, and gave each of the three tigers one of the cigarettes on his body.

This honest farmer didn't know much about Xu Qing's relationship with them.

But I know one thing, those who come to help my nephew today must treat each other with courtesy.

Just as Xu Qing and San Huzi were talking, Li Guohua and Er Niu also came to the compound on bicycles.

Xu Qing's wedding reception team naturally cannot do without these two old classmates.

Ma Jiefang couldn't come, and Ma Jinghong was his fifth sister, so even if he wanted to come, that wouldn't work.

Er Mazi in the factory clamored to marry Xu Qing too, so Xu Qing had no choice but to let him follow Qian Bing, Wei Shengli, Tian Zhongqing, and Chen Guodong.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing sat in the car with his second and third brothers, followed by Xu Damao, Er Mazi, Li Guohua and Er Niu on bicycles.

Whether it is a car or a bicycle, a red flower is tied on the front.

Amidst the sound of Sanhuzi leading people lighting firecrackers, Xu Qing set off.

The car leads, and the bicycle follows closely. This battle is more grand than when Xu Damao got married.

And this is only a small part of it. The tobacco, wine and banquets at Xu Qing's wedding banquet are even more high-end than when Xu Damao got married.

When Xu Damao first got married, in order to make his own wedding decent and luxurious, he did not hesitate to use up the family fortune he had accumulated for several years, as well as his parents' family fortune.

But Xu Qing was different. Xu Qing never thought that his grandparents would pay for his marriage.

Of course, Xu Qing spent the money that his grandfather and grandmother gave him over the years.

But for the most part, Xu Qing paid for it all by himself.

Whether it is buying furniture, sewing machines, electric fans, watches, etc., it is all his own money.

Although Xu Qing doesn't have a lot of money, but he has the ability to 'divide it into two'. Like some daily things, Xu Qing doesn't need to buy too much, and he can get out with just one point of ability.

This saves a lot of expenses.

As soon as the three turns sounded, Xu Qing had already bought bicycles and radios before, so he didn't spend any more money to buy them again.

Now, Xu Qing's room not only has all the three turns and one sound, but also an electric fan.

Yu Li was very envious of a room full of big things.

Because she and Yan Jiecheng got married last year, the stingy third master paid for a sewing machine, not even a bicycle.

Now that Yu Li wants to use the car, she has to say hello to Yan Bugui, and she and Yan Jiecheng quarrel a lot about this matter.

When Lou Xiaoe and He Yushui came out of Xu Qing's wedding room, Yu Li looked at the big items in the room, and felt a little reluctant to part. Who told her that apart from the sewing machine, the only household appliances in her room were flashlights.

Not long after Xu Qing left to pick up his relatives, at just nine o'clock, Lao Zhang came to the compound with his wife and daughter Zhang Zhenlian.

When the apprentice got married, how could he, as the master, not come to have a wedding wine.

After that, the cadres in the factory, workshop directors, and ordinary workers, who received the wedding invitations, came almost one after another.

Xu Qing's wedding, the leading cadres in the factory, can they not come? Before Xu Damao got married, few people came.

But today is Xu Qing's big wedding, that's different.

Even Zhao Yanquan, the deputy factory director, came to drink the wedding wine of his subordinate Xu Qing.

It is conceivable that the people who came to the compound today are no match for Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng when they got married.

In the middle courtyard, Ma Hua, who came to help after listening to Shazhu's words early in the morning, saw Deputy Director Zhao coming, and hurriedly said to Shazhu:

"Master, look, Deputy Director Zhao."

Shazhu was wearing a short-sleeved sweater, stood up, glanced at him and said: "Twist, what are you making a fuss about, Qingzi is a cadre, and he is very popular in our factory, here is a deputy factory manager, you are surprised What is it?"

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, he saw the director in charge of the back kitchen of their cafeteria also coming, Ma Hua elbowed Sha Zhu and said: "Master, brother Xu Qing is very popular, our director is here."

"Hurry up and chop the vegetables, kid, stop talking!"

Sha Zhu pissed off Ma Hua angrily. He didn't look at his own director, lowered his head, held the kitchen knife, and clattered on the chopping board to busy himself with his work.

The director of the cafeteria also saw Sha Zhu and Ma Hua, but today he came here to drink Xu Qing's wedding wine.

So Diameter passed through the middle courtyard, and chased after Deputy Director Zhao who had just entered the backyard.

Jia Zhang, who was standing beside Shazhu, was washing vegetables with Qin Huairu. Hearing the conversation between Shazhu and Ma Hua, he asked Qin Huairu in a low voice:

"Huairu, those two people just now are really high-ranking officials in your factory?"

Qin Huairu hummed.

Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly looked sideways and looked at the backs of Zhao Yanquan and the director of the cafeteria. After seeing the two of them entering the backyard, Mrs. Jia recovered and said to Sha Zhu:
"Si Zhu, when you and Qin Jingru get married, will the deputy director of your factory and the director of your canteen come?"

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she straightened up, thought for a moment, and then said: "Silly Zhu, your canteen director must be here, right?"

"Aunt Zhang, Qingzi is getting married today, and I am extremely busy. Don't disturb me, please. If you are tired, just sit and rest!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking angrily, the speed at which the kitchen knife in his hand fell on the chopping board immediately accelerated.

The relationship between Sha Zhu and the director of the cafeteria who is in charge of him is not very good. If he gets married.

Whether the canteen director will come or not is another matter.

Silly Zhu may not even invite him.

Seeing that Sha Zhu's expression was a little unhappy, Jia Zhang didn't say anything more.

During this period of time at home, she was waiting every day for the food relief that Sha Zhu brought back every afternoon.

How could Jiazhang be willing to annoy Silly Zhu.

As the sun gradually and slowly moves towards the center of the sky.

More and more people came to the compound.

The courtyard was instantly noisy and lively.

The old man and grandmother, under the introduction of Xu Qing's master, Zhang, and the elder Yi Zhonghai, met with the people from the factory who came to the grandson's wedding one by one.

The two old people were overjoyed, the eldest grandson got married, and many officials came to the factory.

In particular, there are several who are deputy factory directors and section chiefs.

The old man felt more and more that the eldest grandson was really promising!

In fact, it was not the case, and some of them went to Ma Jinghong's side in the factory.

Ma Guohua was the section chief in the factory, so he naturally invited some people.

Otherwise, there will only be more people coming to Xu Qing's side today.

However, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, the two old comrades who were in charge of the compound and had worked in the factory for many years, felt that there were more factory cadres who came to Xu Qing's wedding today than they expected.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the crowd and was shocked.

As for Liu Haizhong, seeing so many people coming, he secretly felt that he had to quickly find a way to earn an official position in the factory. If he went to attend other people's weddings in the factory in the future, he would be very impressive if he went there.

Yu Li, who was standing at the door of Lou Xiao'e's house, looked at the people in the factory who were usually out of reach, turned her head and secretly pinched Yan Xiecheng with her hands.

You know, she and Yan Jiecheng got married last year, and almost all the people who came were ordinary workers.

How can Xu Qing have such face, there are not many ordinary workers, all of them are officials.

The more Yu Li thought about it, the more she felt that her marriage last year was too shabby compared with Xu Qing today.

Yan Jiecheng was pinched, and hurriedly hid in the middle courtyard.

He is just a worker, how can he hire these people.

Besides, he has married Yu Li now, so he doesn't bother to talk to her.

The compound was bustling with activity, and Xu Qing, who was going to pick up his relatives, was bustling with activity.

At this moment, with people, I have arrived at the alley of the bride's house.
