Xu Weiguo was worried that they might bring their families, but the village chief said they wouldn't.
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that you’re from the Public Security Bureau and Xu Weimin is from the Revolutionary Committee, even though you’re both in uniform. In the eyes of the villagers, the Revolutionary Committee is far more terrifying than the Public Security Bureau.”
"If you get arrested by the police, at most you'll be locked up or fined. But if you get arrested by the Revolutionary Committee, you'll be severely punished, if not killed."
“They wouldn’t dare to completely offend Xu Weimin, so they’ll definitely keep sending people to his side. Most of the men will go to your side, leaving only the elderly, women, and children on Xu Weimin’s side.”
Sure enough, the situation is exactly as the village chief predicted! Xu Weiguo decided that he would have to secretly bring the village chief another pack of cigarettes and alcohol back later.
If it weren't for the village chief helping them, they would be the ones having a good laugh today.
Because he didn't know the nature of the relationship between Fang Hui and Xu Weimin, Xu Weiguo felt it was best to be cautious.
Feigning ignorance, she said, "Really? Our two families haven't been in contact for a while, so we weren't really aware. Maybe it's just an auspicious day, haha."
Fang Hui suddenly felt that Xu Weiguo was not honest at all. He had brought it up himself, but he didn't reveal anything to him.
After some back and forth, it became clear that the two weren't very familiar with each other. Perhaps the other person even thought he was there to gather information for Xu Weimin.
......
After seeing off the last guest, only the Xu and Huang families remained in the state-run restaurant.
After everyone else had left, Chen Zhaodi asked impatiently, "I just heard Director Fang say that Xu Jingui made a fool of himself?"
When Chen Zhaodi heard that, she was overjoyed! Serves her right!
Who told them to deliberately change the wedding date? It's obvious they had ill intentions. When Chen Zhaodi first saw that all the Xu family relatives were men, she thought that the Xu family was cursed to bring misfortune to wives.
Later, Xu Weiguo said that the female comrades were all busy and didn't come, so Chen Zhaodi didn't think of Xu Jingui. But when Fang Hui mentioned that all the women who came from Xu Jingui's side were women.
Hey! This doesn't make sense!
Chen Zhaodi guessed that her in-laws must have used some method to invite all the men over, leaving only the women on Xu Jingui's side.
Just as she expected, Xu Weimin recounted the whole story to them.
The Huang family felt extremely relieved!
However, Huang Eryuan didn't understand why Xu Jingui's side said that the banquet preparations were insufficient.
"But I only saw two tables of relatives and friends from the village. Xu Jingui couldn't have only prepared two tables of food, could he?"
Xu Weiguo shook his head and explained, "I only invited people who had a good relationship with us before, or who had helped our family in the past."
"But they probably really wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves, because they notified everyone in the village. Of course, even if they notified everyone, not everyone could come."
“After all, it’s impossible for the entire village to take leave from work all at once. So when they know that some of the men will be coming to our area, the men in the households we didn’t invite probably won’t go to their houses.”
"So, for various reasons, it turned out that all the people who came to Xu Jingui's house were women. And even if some of them didn't come, there were still quite a few people left. Plus, since it's a banquet, they would definitely bring all the children in the family."
"After a while, there are a lot of people, so if they don't prepare eight or nine tables for the banquet, it probably won't be enough."
After listening, Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi both saw the word "fortunate" in each other's eyes.
Thank God! Luckily, Qinqin married Xu Junhui instead of Xu Jingui. That family is no saint, and they don't seem very bright either.
Indeed, a blessed person doesn't marry into an unblemished family!
......
Back at the Xu family home, Zhang Yumei handed over the book recording the gifts and all the gifts received that day to Huang Qinqin.
He explained, "Qinqin, these are the monetary gifts we received today. Please check the numbers yourselves and keep this gift book safe. You can refer to this book when you attend their celebrations in the future."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Mom."
Huang Qinqin took the items and then followed Xu Junhui back to her room.
This was the first time she had seen the room she would be staying in.
The room was huge, almost half the size of Huang Qinqin's house. At the far end was a two-meter-long bed, next to which was a dressing table, and on the other side was a large wardrobe that Huang Qinqin had brought as part of her dowry.
And that was it...
Huang Qinqin felt it was such a waste. Such a large space was completely empty, and the wardrobe was part of her dowry. She had no idea how Xu Junhui used to store his clothes.
However, is it possible that Xu Junhui's clothes don't need a wardrobe at all, and he can just put them in any box?
Huang Qinqin looked around and thought it would be nice to have another desk in the room.
She looked at Xu Junhui, who was packing her luggage, and asked softly, "Brother Junhui, how about we put a desk in the room?"
Xu Junhui agreed without hesitation: "Sure, see if you want to add anything else, anything is fine. I used to live alone, and I lived a rather rough life."
After tidying up Huang Qinqin's things, Xu Junhui took out a wooden box from a trunk.
Huang Qinqin looked at the wooden box curiously, wondering what was inside. However, she guessed it might be Xu Junhui's savings.
Xu Junhui had previously said that he would hand over all his salary after getting married. But she assumed he would keep his previous savings for himself.
Xu Junhui pulled Huang Qinqin to sit on the bed, opened the box and said, "Qinqin, this is all my savings from all these years of working. It's all here, and you can manage it from now on."
"My monthly salary is forty-five yuan. I used to give my family five yuan a month for food. Can I continue to do that?"
"Forty-five yuan a month?! Is your salary that high?" Huang Qinqin thought Xu Junhui's salary was shockingly high. If that's the case, Xu Junhui's savings must be quite substantial.
"Well, because I'm a purchasing agent for the cafeteria, although I'm not a manager, I'm not a factory worker either, so my salary is relatively high."
Huang Qinqin didn't really understand, but that didn't matter. All she needed to know was that Xu Junhui's salary was very high.
As for the food expenses: "Before, when you were eating alone, paying five yuan was definitely no problem, but now that there are two of us, it will definitely have to go up. How about this, we'll give our parents ten yuan a month from now on, okay?"
How about it? Of course it's great!
Xu Junhui knew he had good taste; the wife he chose was beautiful, intelligent, and kind.
Touched, Xu Junhui grasped Huang Qinqin's hand and said happily, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Qinqin. Do you want to count my savings?"
