As he was speaking, Chen Xiu came running back at the top of his lungs.

"mom."

Che Jinmei's eyes lit up, "How is it? Are you here?"

Chen Xiu shook her head, "No sign of him yet."

Che Jinmei's heart started to lift again, "Oh, what are you doing? We're still waiting for the banquet to start."

She said that the girl in this town was no good. She was so anxious to marry into her family, but now she was pretending to be hypocritical. But her son didn't listen to her advice and wanted to marry that vixen.

If it were Qiao Daya, she would definitely not do this.

Hualin was riding his bicycle very fast. Erquan also knew that time was running out. When he was serving tea to Chi's mother, Chi's mother kept talking for thirty-four minutes, and then he was delayed a lot of time, not to mention his cousin's wife blocking the door and making things difficult for him.

They stayed at Chi's house for more than two hours.

The distance from Gaoshi Village to the town is not short, and it takes more than an hour to go there and back. I guess everyone at home is getting anxious.

Chi Suzhen had never ridden in a bullock cart before, and was shaken so much that she kept leaning against Chen Yude.

The other two escorting the bride were dissatisfied, "Walk slower, why are you in such a hurry, you're about to be thrown off."

Erquan ignored it, hit the cow's butt with the bamboo stick, and chased after Hualin's bicycle in front.

Chi Suzhen felt so aggrieved that she grabbed Chen Yude's hand and shouted, "Yude."

Chen Yude patted her hand soothingly, "We were delayed for some time just now. Your family must be waiting anxiously. There are quite a few guests."

At the entrance of the village, a sharp-eyed villager stretched his neck and pointed in the distance, saying, "It's coming, it's coming, everyone look, it's coming."

An aunt from the Chen family slapped her son on the head and said, "Hurry up, run to your second uncle's house and tell your second aunt that the bride's groom is back."

When Che Jinmei heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the village entrance, she knew that someone had returned, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She stood at the door happily holding candy to greet people.

Many villagers, children and guests gathered around excitedly when they saw her coming out with a plate of candy.

Che Jinmei straightened her back. This was candy with candy wrappers from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it was two cents more expensive than the ones Laizi's family gave out last year.

The bicycle stopped at the door, and Che Jinmei's face froze, "Why is it you?"

Hualin said, "The bride and groom are behind us, they have entered the village, hurry up, someone come and help carry the things in."

He is almost dying of exhaustion.

Che Jinmei looked unhappy. "There's a big red ribbon tied to this bicycle. Why did you ride it back? If I didn't know, I would have thought you were getting married."

Hualin glanced at the people gathered around and said without further ado, "Take the things in first, I'll explain the rest to you later."

Che Jinmei was not a fool. When she saw Hualin's expression, she knew something must have happened. She quickly asked people to unload things and asked Chen Youliang to prepare firecrackers to welcome the bride.

Chi Suzhen followed Chen Yude out of the car, and Che Jinmei grabbed a handful of candy and scattered it out.

The scene was very lively.

The people who picked up the candies spoke auspicious words loudly, which made Che Jinmei temporarily put aside the unhappiness in her heart.

She grabbed another handful of candies, paused for a moment, but couldn't bear to let go. She loosened her fingers, put half of the candies back, raised her arm, and scattered the candies amid everyone's laughter.

After scattering the candy, she took the plate and walked inside. This was candy, so it was very expensive.

The Chen family's banquet was quite grand, with three main dishes: stewed fish, thin slices of pork stewed with sauerkraut, and chicken soup with radish, mushrooms, as well as egg pancakes, stewed frozen tofu, and fried radishes with chili oil.

Each table had a dish, the portion was quite large and full of oil.

Not only was she satisfied with the banquet, even the Chi family relatives who came with her to see off the bride were satisfied.

Chen Youliang and Che Jinmei stood straight amid everyone's compliments.

Chen Yude even raised his chin, half-huggled Chi Suzhen, and toasted at each table, looking very proud and high-spirited.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when the guests slowly dispersed. Che Jinmei was so tired that she sat on the stool, holding her waist.

Chi Suzhen was also exhausted. When the guests left, she went into the house, took off her leather shoes, and sat on her and Chen Yude's new bed, swinging her feet to rest.

Che Jinmei held her waist and looked around.

Chen Xiu followed her aunt and uncle and squatted at the door to wash dishes.

The bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs used in the wedding are all valuable property of the village.

Anyone who needs to do something can borrow it, but after using it, it must be washed thoroughly and returned. Everyone is washing it now.

Chen Yude, along with Chen Youliang and Erquan, were collecting stools and wiping tables, planning to carry the stools and tables to storage.

Even Chen Yufeng had to go fetch water with a bucket. The whole family was so busy that Chi Suzhen hid back in her room.

Che Jinmei suppressed her displeasure and stood up, knocking on the door. "Suzhen, Suzhen, what are you doing?"

Chi Suzhen quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Che Jinmei smiled wryly, "Suzhen, are you exhausted?

Look, everyone is busy, relatives and friends are also helping, but your family members are hiding away. What kind of nonsense is this? I am tired at this moment, so just bear with it. ”

Che Jinmei said as she stuffed a broom into Chi Suzhen's hand, "Sweep the floor, everyone is watching, don't let rumors spread tomorrow that my son-in-law married a lazy wife.

The elders and relatives were all busy, so the bride was lazy. Even if she was just pretending, she couldn't leave any opportunity for gossip. ”

Che Jinmei said in a low voice with a fake smile, "Sweep the floor, pour the garbage dustpan into the pit in front of the door, and then go help Xiu and the others. Those things will have to be returned later. There are so many bowls, and they need to be carried to the auditorium and stored after washing."

Chi Suzhen looked around and saw that everyone was busy, and her face suddenly turned slightly red.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I don't know anything and I need you to give me some advice."

When Che Jinmei saw Chi Suzhen sweeping the floor obediently, the fake smile on her face disappeared. She then carried two stools and followed the person who returned the things out the door.

She is such a tactless person, she doesn't even bother to pretend, and has to wait for her to point the finger before she moves. I don't know what her husband sees in her.

Thinking that the other party would have to take out the money from the bottom of the box to pay the debt in the evening, Che Jinmei could only bear it for the time being.

There was the main banquet at noon, and the Chen family had two more tables in the evening, which were only attended by relatives and helpers.

After the guests left and the place was cleaned up, it was almost nine o'clock.

Che Jinmei pulled her son to the door and said, "Mr. De, you should ask her for the money later. I told her that I would pay for the food and drinks I bought on credit in two days. It would be embarrassing if she came to ask for the money."
