Ye Xuanhan has lost his parents, so how much money can he come up with? The most he can give is just one or two dollars.
"Look at you, girl. You're being too formal," Aunt Guihua waved her hand. "I'd be happy if I could share in the joy of the occasion."
Ye Xuanhan told Aunt Guihua the time for the wedding banquet, which was scheduled for two days later. Aunt Guihua could bring the others over a day in advance.
Aunt Huaihua agreed readily, said a few words to Ye Yanhan, and went home to cook dinner.
Ye Xuanhan also returned to his own small house with Jiang Wang.
After sitting on the train for two days, Ye Han was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes. He took the leftover rice at home and cooked some porridge, which he ate with some pickles, and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, before Ye Xuanhan got up, Jiang Wang got up and made her something to eat.
Before they finished their meal, Captain Li Erhe knocked on Ye Hanhan's door and said he was there to discuss the banquet.
"Uncle Li, have you had breakfast?" Ye Han quickly invited him in.
...
...
Li Erhe looked at the thick rice porridge and the soft, steaming white flour buns on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
"Forget it, forget it. I've already eaten at home," Li Erhe said. "You guys eat first."
"Hey, Uncle Li, why are you being so polite to me?" Ye Han picked up two big white steamed buns and put them in Li Erhe's hands. "Jiang Wang and I have to thank you for worrying about us."
The words were so flawless that Li Erhe felt comfortable listening to them. "Daya, look at what you are saying. Your uncle Li is here. If you have any problems, just come to me."
At this time, Jiang Wang took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Erhe, "Uncle Li, I may have to trouble you in the next two days. This is a gift from Ye Hanhan and I. Please accept it."
Li Erhe looked at the red envelope. The thickness was very pleasing, but he still had to save face. "Xia, what are you doing? It's what I should do."
After some refusals, Li Erhe finally accepted the red envelope.
"Xian Han doesn't have any relatives here, and her second uncle - bah Ye Yong probably won't come to take care of this matter now. When the time comes, leave everything to me, so you can relax."
Next, the three of them discussed the budget for the banquet and how many tables of guests to invite. When they had almost finished the discussion, they wrote down the important points on paper.
When Li Erhe was about to leave, Ye Han suddenly remembered something.
"Captain, who's keeping track of the work points while I'm away for so long?"
Ye Xuanhan has not forgotten his job as a timekeeper.
Li Erhe scratched his head and said, "It was Liu Xia's son Hu Yong before. He came back for the New Year and happened to have nothing to do, so I arranged for him to do it first."
Ye Hanhan remembered that he had met Hu Yong once before. He was a very strong man and looked very similar to Liu Xia.
Looks like it should be reliable.
However, it has been more than a month since the Chinese New Year, and Hu Yong must have returned to school, so how can he continue working?
Ye Hanhan originally wanted to ask the captain, but before he could say anything, the other party left in a hurry.
As soon as the team leader left, Aunt Guihua came over with a few women.
"Xianhan, we met the captain when we came here just now, and he said he had listed the menu."
There are six meat dishes and six vegetable dishes in total, including pork, chicken and fish.
Aunt Guihua's eyes widened.
"Xianhan, we are all acquaintances, so just cook two dishes to satisfy the needs. It would be better to save some money and spend it on yourself instead of buying so much."
"Yeah, Han, how about we put more vegetables and less meat, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ye Hanhan was somewhat helpless, "Aunts, it's okay, we are all from the same village, and Jiang Wang and I will have to rely on you if we have any problems in the future."
The aunts were doing this for her own good, and Ye Han knew it.
But after all, the purpose of doing things is to have a happy occasion, and Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang are not short of this money.
Hearing this, several women clicked their tongues a few times, then washed their hands and prepared to work.
These aunts and sisters-in-law worked diligently and cleaned the house in no time.
At this time, Li Erhe drove the team's ox cart over and said that he would take Jiang Wang to the market to buy vegetables and then to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat.
Ye Xuanhan stayed at home to tidy up the house.
Seeing that Ye Xuanhan's house did not have enough bowls and plates, Aunt Guihua asked everyone to go back to their homes and bring over plates, and then wash them clean and return them to each family after the party was over.
Three women make a drama, and with so many people gathered at home, it is natural that they will inevitably discuss all kinds of gossip.
"Have you heard? Ye Yong and his wife have had several fights these past few days. Things in the house have been smashed and thrown away. I don't know if they don't want to live anymore."
When Ye Hanhan heard the name Ye Yong, she was slightly stunned. It took her a long time to remember that the other party was her cheap second uncle in this body.
But that’s not the case anymore.
"By the way, Daya, did he return the money to you?" asked Sister Xiangqin.
The news that Ye Hanhan and Ye Yong had broken off their engagement had spread throughout the team.
If Sister Xiangqin hadn't mentioned it, Ye Hanhan would not have been able to remember this matter.
"No," Ye Han replied.
In fact, she was not in a hurry. After all, she had agreed to give the other party three months, and there was still half a month left.
I don’t think he would dare to default on his debt.
"Han, don't be stupid. I think that couple clearly don't want to pay back the money. Fifty dollars is still money. It can support you for half a year."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If they don't pay me back, I will definitely go to the commune secretary to seek justice. If they don't pay me back, I will criticize them."
"Alas, Han Han, you have suffered so much. Your biological father is gone, and your second uncle is so--"
As Sister Xiangqin was speaking, Aunt Guihua next to her pushed her.
"Auntie, why are you pushing me?"
"Work hard and don't talk."
Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes at Sister Xiangqin who had no tact, then smiled at Ye Hanhan and changed the subject.
By noon, Jiang Wang and the captain came back and bought a cart full of ingredients and seasonings.
I bought 80 kilograms of fatty pork and 30 fish. I estimated that I would have to go to the town three times to buy all the goods.
When the aunts saw Jiang Wang buying these things without even blinking, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
"Xianhan, you are so lucky to have found such a good husband. Your ancestors are so lucky."
Jiang Wang, who was moving things nearby, stopped and said to his aunt in a serious tone, "Aunt, I am so lucky to marry Yan Han."
"Yes, yes, yes," the aunt smiled and quickly changed her words, "You are lucky."
Ye Xuanhan covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then turned his head away as if nothing had happened when he met Jiang Wang's gaze.
After two days of hard work, the day for the wedding banquet finally arrived.
