Chapter 362 Brother Xu gets married
In the end, Xu Jianping collected 100 yuan from everyone, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, the wedding procession got up before dawn again.
Xu Yu also wanted to get up.
Jiang Yi didn't let him: "You continue to sleep. It's only a little after four o'clock now. Sleep until six o'clock. It will be a busy day today. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear it."
No one had slept well in the past two days, and Xu Yu was indeed still a little sleepy. In addition, the two babies stayed here to sleep with them last night, so Xu Yu lay down again after thinking about it.
Soon, there was a lively noise coming from the yard. The noise lasted for a while and only died down after the wedding procession set off.
Then everyone will prepare for the banquet at noon today.
At this time, Zhao Cui'e's low voice came from the door: "Sister, are you awake?"
Xu Yu responded, "Sister-in-law, I'm awake. What's the matter?"
As she said that, she got up and went to open the door.
Zhao Cui'e said to her, "It's too noisy here. You can take Tangtang Guoguo to sleep over there. Kang Kang is sleeping too, so you can keep an eye on him. I'll call you guys when it's time for dinner."
The three little ones slept late yesterday and had a great time, so they were still sleeping like little pigs at this time.
But it's really too noisy here, and everyone is worried about waking up the two babies.
Xu Yu thought about it, nodded, and he and Zhao Cui'e each picked up a baby and went to their home.
This place was about ten meters away from that place and was much quieter. Xu Yu took her three children to sleep for more than two hours. It was almost seven o'clock when she got them up.
At this time, Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun also came. Xu Yu left the children to them. After breakfast, she went to her second brother's house with a group of cousins to decorate the new house.
There is currently no furniture in Xu Jianping and his wife's new house. Xu Yu and his wife just need to stick wedding characters on the doors and windows, and then plan how to arrange the furniture after they are brought in.
At around eight o'clock, the surrounding villagers began to bring over the tables and benches that the Xu family had asked to borrow long ago.
Around ten o'clock, guests arrived one after another.
Xu Yu and the others stood at the edge of the yard to greet them.
Relatives would bring gifts, including rice, noodles, wine, eggs or bacon. Closer relatives would also bring firecrackers. Xu Yu and his family would stack all the firecrackers at the edge of the yard and wait for the bride to be picked up before setting them off.
At this time, Xu Jianhua and Huanhuan brought a group of children to find Xu Yu.
Xu Jianhua said to her, "Sister, we want to wait at the village entrance."
Xu Yu did not object, but only said to him: "Then you should keep an eye on everyone and wait at the village entrance. Don't go to the waterside or the riverside to play, and don't go to the hillside to play."
"understood."
Xu Jianhua ran towards the village entrance with a group of children.
As more and more guests arrived, everyone started to discuss when the bride would be picked up.
"I heard it takes two hours to get here from the county town. They set off at nine o'clock, so it will be after eleven o'clock."
"It's also because Jiang Yi's family has two large cars. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to get married at such a long distance."
"Other people can't find a partner in the city either."
"That's right... only the Xu family has this ability."
"I don't know how much dowry the woman will give."
"Xu Jianping's wife is making money herself, so the dowry must be quite large."
……
Hearing these words, the cousins standing with Xu Yu felt a little uncomfortable. One of the unmarried cousins muttered, "I hate it most when these people discuss dowry. How much dowry is given is a gesture of family, and it depends on the conditions of each family. Their tone is just to compare."
Sure enough, someone compared Xu Yu and Xiao Tang’s dowry.
Several cousins frowned when they heard this.
Xu Yu didn't care and said to them, "Just like you said, the dowry depends on the conditions of each family. Why should we compare? What really matters is that we live a good life after marriage."
Several cousins thought it made sense, and since Xu Yu was living better than anyone else now, there was really nothing to be angry about.
At half past eleven, the wedding procession had not arrived yet.
All the people who came to the wedding banquet came.
However, Xu Kui had already informed everyone that their family's banquet would start late, and everyone understood. After all, his daughter-in-law was from the county town, and it would take time to take her over.
It was almost twelve o'clock when news came from outside that the wedding party had arrived in town.
Everyone was excited and stood at the entrance of the yard waiting.
Some who were more impatient went directly to the village entrance to wait.
At half past twelve, news came from the village entrance that the bride was about to enter the village.
The people waiting became even more excited.
Xu Yu ordered people to place all the firecrackers on the side, and he and Zhao Cui'e went to find Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei.
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, please stand in the yard. My eldest brother and his wife and I will go and bring them in. Then you can bring my second sister-in-law into the house."
Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei smiled and nodded.
Today they all wore new clothes and smiled brightly, and especially with everyone's congratulations, they almost lost themselves.
"The village chief's family is indeed capable. Three of their four children have already started their own families and careers. We will be waiting to enjoy the banquet for your youngest son when the time comes."
"Hahaha... Then you'll have to wait a little longer. My Jianhua is still young."
"Not for a few years."
"Hahaha……"
……
After a while, a loud shout came from outside: "The bride is coming soon!"
"Everyone, get ready."
"Brother and sister-in-law, let's go."
Xu Yu and the other two hurried outside.
Soon the wedding procession came into sight. When the villagers saw the huge team carrying the dowry, they exclaimed in amazement.
"As expected of him marrying a girl from the county town. The betrothal gifts and dowry are too much."
"Wow! There's a TV and a radio!"
……
"It's here!"
"Set off the firecrackers!"
Crackling...
"Wow! The bride is so beautiful!"
"The bride's dress is so pretty!"
When Xu Jianping and Xiao Tang came over, Xu Yu and the others immediately greeted them: "Second sister-in-law, we've finally had you here."
"Second sister-in-law, welcome to join our big family."
Xiao Tang smiled and called them: "Brother, sister-in-law, sister."
"Eh!"
"Come on, let's go in. Mom and Dad have been waiting for you."
Xu Yu and Zhao Cui'e each held one of her hands and walked towards Xu Kui's yard as the crowd separated.
The others joked about Xu Jianping and surrounded him as he walked inside.
Behind her followed the wedding procession and the people carrying the dowry.
The wedding procession was received by several other families of the Xu family.
Everyone walked towards the yard, chatting and laughing.
After Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei picked up Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang and Xu Jianping were escorted into the wedding hall.
When they were getting married, Xu Yu and Jiang Yi brought people to deliver the dowry to their new home, and Xu Yu then directed everyone to put the dowry in place.
After the wedding ceremony, a group of young people surrounded the newlyweds and took them to their new home.
The child asked for a red envelope, and after everyone made a fuss for a while, everyone went out to sit down and enjoy the wedding banquet.
Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei began to take the newlyweds to each table to toast everyone.
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi went directly to the table where Director Wu and his group were sitting.
Xu Yu finally had the chance to ask Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, is it lively when you go over there to pick up the bride?"
Before Jiang Yi could speak, Wu Dandan, who had come with the bride, spoke first: "It was so lively, we spent nearly an hour blocking the door."
Xu Yu laughed heartily: "Then my second brother is probably scratching his head because of you guys."
"Hehe~ We are not that bad."
Xu Yu didn't believe it.
Jiang Yi also raised the corners of his lips and said to her: "Jianping said on the way back that he wanted to go to college."
Xu Yu laughed: "Didn't my second brother say that he would raise pigs after graduating from university? He didn't want to take so many detours. Why did he change his mind after getting a wife?"
Jiang Yi: "Several of Xiao Tang's brothers and sisters are college students."
Everyone at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just then, Xu Jianping and his friends came to this table to toast.
Xu Jianping knew without even listening that they were making fun of him, and he quickly pleaded for mercy: "Please give me some face and stop saying bad things about me today."
Xu Yu started to tease: "If you had known that the reason you wanted to go to college was to marry your second sister-in-law, you should have married her sooner."
Xiao Tang continued with a smile, "Then you can take the college entrance examination next year, and I will supervise your studies."
Xu Jianping: “…”
Xu Jianping's expression immediately made everyone laugh again.
Xu Jianping also laughed, then raised his glass and toasted them with Xiao Tang.
Xu Yu and his group said some words of blessing to the two of them, and then everyone drank the wine.
When Xiao Tang left, Xu Yu asked in her ear: "Do you want to replace the wine with water?"
Xiao Tang pursed his lips, smiled, nodded, and then followed him to another table.
