Someone said, "Why is he shy? He grew up in the village too. I just heard him call Zhibiao's name. They are very familiar with each other."
Someone said: "Is he so rude that he didn't even call me "Third Brother"?"
Someone said, "What's the big deal? They're young people. They played together when they were little and are now relatives. They're about the same age and sometimes call each other by their first names. They don't mind. What are you talking about?"
Someone echoed: "Yes, the parties involved don't mind, what can we say? I also heard him call Yiqian's name, but Yiqian is younger than him, but now he is older than him in terms of generation, so he is his second cousin."
Someone said, "The Liu, Su, and Ma families have always had a good relationship. He probably just got used to calling Zhibiao and Yiqian by their names."
Someone laughed: "Maybe they're just used to calling him that. Or maybe if he calls me "Third Brother", several people in the Su family will answer at once. After all, there's more than just Su Zhibiao who's ranked third, so they might as well just call him by his name in a hurry."
Someone agreed: "That's right, the Su family has many branches, just like today's new master, he is the third, but he is not the only one who can be called the third uncle."
Lin Xiyi said, "Hurry up and go over there. After you have your tea, it will be our turn soon."
Su Zhibiao patted Liu Jingze on the shoulder and said, "After drinking tea, hurry up and do your work, good brother-in-law. There are many things waiting for you to do."
Su Zhiyao said, "Minhong, call Xiuying and the others and tell them to come over quickly. If they don't drink tea now, they will have to wait until dinner time, and Zhihao will be busy then."
Lu Minhong said, "I've just sent her a message. She'll be here soon. My second uncle and the others will be here soon too."
Liu Jingze took Su Tiantian's arm and walked forward. The eldest sister-in-law said loudly: "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, please take a seat and drink the new bride tea."
Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian sat down.
The eldest sister-in-law said, "Groom, I don't need to teach you, you are already familiar with the movements. Please invite your brother-in-law to have tea first, and then invite your eldest sister to have tea."
Su Zhihao stood in front of Liu Jingze, bowed to him with both hands, then bowed, offered tea with both hands, and said, "Please have some tea, brother-in-law."
Then Su Zhihao stood in front of Su Tiantian, bowed to her with both hands, then bowed, offered tea with both hands, and said, "Please have some tea, big sister."
When Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian were drinking tea, their eldest sister-in-law said with a smile on her face: "The groom offers tea to his eldest brother-in-law. After his eldest brother-in-law drinks the newlyweds' tea, he will win the lottery jackpot and his business will be prosperous with many distinguished customers."
"The groom offered tea to the eldest sister, and after drinking the newlyweds' tea, the eldest sister gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The boy and girl are well-behaved and obedient."
After the two finished drinking the cup of tea, the eldest sister-in-law came forward with a teapot to add more tea. As she added the tea, she said loudly: "The groom is adding tea for the eldest brother-in-law and the eldest sister. If you drink a cup to the end, everything will go smoothly, the family will be prosperous every year, and all your wishes will come true."
It was Li Yunling's turn to serve tea.
The elder sister-in-law said, "Bride, this is called the elder brother-in-law, and this is called the elder aunt. Now that you are familiar with the movements just now, please invite the elder brother-in-law to have tea first, and then invite the elder aunt to have tea."
Li Yunling stood in front of Liu Jingze, bowed to him with both hands, then bowed, offered tea with both hands, and said, "Please have some tea, brother-in-law."
Then Li Yunling stood in front of Su Tiantian, bowed to her with both hands, and then bowed, offering tea with both hands, saying, "Aunt, please have some tea."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and whispered, "I usually call you Sister or Sister Tiantian."
The eldest sister-in-law whispered, "Today I want to call you Auntie. Stop laughing. There is still a lot of tea to be served."
The eldest sister-in-law raised her voice and said, "Congratulations to the eldest brother-in-law and the eldest aunt. After drinking the new bride tea, you will be rich and prosperous. After drinking it, you will be blessed with more blessings and a longer life. After drinking it, you will be rich and smile."
When it was time to add more tea, the eldest sister-in-law said loudly while adding tea: "The bride adds tea for the eldest brother-in-law and the eldest aunt. Adding tea today means adding a child this year. It's a New Year's gift of red envelopes. Everyone is laughing."
After drinking the tea offered by the bride and groom, Su Tiantian took out four big red envelopes from her bag and gave two to Liu Jingze. Then Liu Jingze and she gave one red envelope each to Su Zhihao and Li Yunling.
Su Tiantian took out a red velvet jewelry box from her bag, opened it, and inside was a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.
The eldest sister-in-law sang the blessing words loudly: "Wearing gold, great joy, wearing gold, prosperous and successful."
Mai Xinli helped Li Yunling put on two gold bracelets, so that Li Yunling had four gold bracelets on each hand.
My eldest aunt said, "My eldest aunt is pregnant with twins. When you give birth to twins, remember to treat me to ginger."
Liu Jingze said: "Whether you give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, or twin boys and girls, I will ask you, my aunt, to eat ginger and rice."
The eldest sister-in-law said: "Then I would like to thank the eldest brother-in-law first."
Someone among the relatives started to make a fuss: "Uncle-in-law, what about us? Are you going to invite us?"
Someone echoed: "Yes, please invite us, we are Tiantian's relatives."
Liu Jingze said: "When the time comes, I have to ask my father and father-in-law before inviting them."
Su Zhihao whispered something in the ear of the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt nodded, then said loudly, "The bride and groom need to rest for a while. We will serve tea later. If you haven't had tea yet, remember to come and have some. You can go sit in the courtyard first."
In the new house, Li Yunling, sitting in front of the dressing table, said, "Zhihao, I need to take off some of my gold bracelets. They are so inconvenient to wear."
Su Zhihao hurried over to help Li Yunling take off her gold bracelet, saying, "I knew you were tired, so I asked my aunt to pause. My aunt said we'll probably have to wait until dinner time to serve tea."
Best man Wu Mingyu said, "A Ling, if you think it's inconvenient, give it to me. I don't know how many people envy you for receiving four gold bracelets when you served tea."
Li Yunling said: "When you get married, I guess your wife will receive more than me."
Wu Mingyu, who has not found a new girlfriend in three months since breaking up with his girlfriend...
He sighed and said, "Do you think everyone's sister is as capable and generous as Sister Tiantian? The gold bracelets and red envelopes given by the couple today must have totaled at least 80,000, if not 100,000. The thickness of the red envelopes is obvious to all."
Su Zhihao said: "My sister gave me a red envelope of 6,800 yuan each. I need to put the red envelope I just received away so that it won't disappear if I take it back and forth."
Wu Mingyu muttered to himself, "Just the four red envelopes given by Sister Tiantian and Brother Jing are almost 30,000 yuan. Zhihao, there are also the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, as well as the gift money and gifts for the celebration. Zhihao, does your sister still need a brother?"
It is common for parents to give big red envelopes when offering tea at a wedding. The man has already bought hardware for the woman. It would be fine if Su Zhihao's parents did not give a gold bracelet, but they were willing to give it, which proved that they valued Li Yunling as their daughter-in-law very much.
But according to the local customs, you don't need to give such a big red envelope to your sister or brother-in-law. One or two thousand is good enough. As for gold jewelry, giving a gold bracelet or gold necklace is already very decent.
The gold bracelet Su Tiantian had given him was truly eye-catching, and clearly weighed a significant amount. (Unbeknownst to Wu Mingyu, the gold bracelet Li Yunling was currently wearing weighed about a third less, given that Su Zhihao and Li Yunling preferred cash.)
When having tea with cousins, even if they are elders, the most they give is three to five hundred yuan, and the least is 20 or 50 yuan. In fact, giving 100 yuan is also very decent.
So how could Wu Mingyu not envy Su Zhihao for having such a sister and brother-in-law? Generous at ordinary times, and even more generous at critical moments.
