Chapter 451: The Engagement Banquet Was as Good as a Wedding Banquet
One of Jiang Ziqing's uncles got drunk and had an argument with her other uncle. Jiang Changfeng was drunk and unconscious, which made Xiao Pei so angry that she almost lost her temper.
Fortunately, there was not much conflict, but even so, Xiao Pei felt very embarrassed.
After settling everyone in the Jiang family, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun returned to the bedroom one after another.
"You didn't stop them, and let the three brothers from Guanjiang Changfeng drink themselves to death..."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chen Pingliang, Cao Biao and others were deliberately getting the three Jiang Changfeng brothers drunk. Li Caiyun took Xiao Pei and others away from home because she was worried about causing some misunderstanding.
After hearing what Li Caiyun said, Zhou Yong showed helplessness on his face.
How could he stop this situation?
Besides, after Jiang Changfeng and his two brothers got drunk, they kept asking for wine. As the host, how could Zhou Yong not serve them wine?
As a result, everyone got drunk. Zhou Yong thought they could take a break, but unexpectedly, the two Jiang brothers started quarreling.
To be honest, no one wants this to happen. But since it has already happened, we can only make a big deal out of a small matter. What else can we do?
Li Caiyun sighed helplessly in her heart: "Even so, you can't let them drink like this. There was no trouble tonight. If there was, would Goudan and Ziqing still be engaged?"
Zhou Yong took off his clothes and remained silent. Li Caiyun grumbled a few words, and the couple took a shower and didn't talk about this topic anymore.
The next day, Jiang Changfeng and his wife got up at six o'clock. They came downstairs and just happened to see Zhou Yong, Li Baotian, Li Caiyun and Zhou Kerou coming back from working in the fields.
Xiao Pei and Jiang Changfeng looked at each other and the couple couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Everyone greeted each other, and Jiang Changfeng said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, we thought we got up very early, but we didn't expect that we didn't get up as early as you..."
Zhou Yong chuckled: "Brother Jiang, you guys work in the city, which is different from us farming in the countryside. The reason why we get up early is mainly because we want to do more work in the fields while the weather is cool..."
It’s not hot if you get up early to work, but if you wait until the sun comes out, it will be very painful to do farm work.
Jiang Changfeng nodded repeatedly, and Zhou Yong chatted with the couple: "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, let's go back upstairs to take a shower and come down soon..."
Even though it was cool in the morning, I still sweated while working.
"Brother Zhou, please do as you please. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the courtyard to take a look..."
Zhou Yong responded, and went upstairs one after another with Li Caiyun. Jiang Changfeng and Xiao Pei came to the Li family courtyard.
"Lao Jiang, have you noticed that the air in Huaixi Village is much better than that in the capital..."
Jiang Changfeng discovered this problem yesterday: "I heard that they have mountains here, so the air will naturally be good..."
Xiao Pei also remembered this matter, and the couple came to the gate of Li's vegetable garden while talking.
There were all kinds of vegetables planted in the vegetable garden, and every plot was well-maintained. Xiao Pei said with emotion: "It's obvious that they live a normal life."
Jiang Changfeng nodded, and the couple looked around the yard. Gradually, they discovered that everything in the Li family's house, whether it was the firewood pile, the pigpen, the chicken coop, or the duck rack, was straight and neat. It not only looked comfortable, but also reflected the Li family's pursuit of life.
"In my impression, the countryside is full of dust on the road, there is a dung pile in front of every house, and adults and children have no time to clean themselves up because of work, so they always look dirty... But after coming to Huaixi Village, I realized that I was just a frog in the well..."
Jiang Changfeng's emotion is not without reason. In fact, nowadays, it is rare to find a village as unique as Huaixi Village.
Looking around, the scenes of most villages across the country are not much different from what Jiang Changfeng described, except Huaixi Village, which is unique and different.
Xiao Pei kept nodding, and at this time Zhou Yong appeared in their sight.
"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, let's walk around the village in the morning, and I'll take you to the town in the afternoon..."
July 26th is the day when Li Jingchu and Jiang Ziqing are getting engaged. The reason why the Jiang family came a few days in advance is, firstly, they want to investigate the economic strength of the Li family, and secondly, they want both parties to have a better understanding through these few days of contact.
Today is only July 23rd, so Zhou Yong needs to entertain the Jiang family well in the days before the engagement.
Jiang Changfeng and his wife were very satisfied with Zhou Yong's arrangement, so they agreed to it immediately.
In the following days, Jiang Changfeng and his wife not only gained a certain understanding of the Li family's economic strength, but also had a new understanding of Huaixi Village.
Only then did the couple realize how terrifying Zhou Yong's ability was. He changed the fate of everyone in Huaixi Village with his own strength.
Jiang Changfeng admires Zhou Yong from the bottom of his heart, and so does Xiao Pei.
On the day of the engagement, the Li family was bustling with activity. They slaughtered two pigs and two sheep the day before, and bought more than 200 kilograms of beef and a variety of seafood.
When other people got engaged, they would at most set up three or five tables for the banquet, but when Li Jingchu got engaged, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun set up thirty tables.
The main reason is that the Li family has many relatives, and Zhou Yong has many friends, so he didn’t even notify some of his friends with whom he had ordinary relationships.
"Zhou Yong, Brother Lu is here."
Zhou Yong responded and hurried to the door to greet Lao Lu.
"Brother Zhou, I'm not late, am I?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, it's not too late, you came at the right time..."
As he spoke, Zhou Yong welcomed Old Lu into the yard. Before he could catch his breath, Xu Jianmin arrived in the company car.
"Brother, why don't you come back in the evening?"
Zhou Yong asked Xu Jianmin to come earlier, but he dawdled and only arrived at Li's house at eight o'clock.
Xu Jianmin's smile was full of apology as he explained, "Something happened and delayed me for some time..."
He left home quite early and met a former colleague on the way. They chatted for a while, and before he knew it, Xu Jianmin was late.
After listening to Xu Jianmin's explanation, Zhou Yong couldn't help but smile: "Brother, you are responsible for helping me entertain the Jiang family today..."
Influenced by Xu Jianmin, the brothers walked into the courtyard while talking.
After a while, Chen Pingliang and the head of the Highway Bureau arrived. Not long after they arrived, the Yuan brothers also arrived.
Soon more and more people came, and Zhou Yong's cheeks were sore from laughing. He looked at the more than ten people who showed up for no reason and wanted to get close to him, and he was speechless!
No matter what, since guests are coming, Zhou Yong would naturally entertain them warmly. However, if he did so, thirty tables would not be enough for the banquet.
Fortunately, I had prepared some backup dishes so I didn't have to be at a loss.
The Jiang family was surprised by the number of people who came to the Li family's engagement banquet. In their opinion, the engagement banquet was as good as a wedding banquet.
In fact, what the Jiang family didn’t know was that among these people, many did not come in person, and the others were relatives and friends of the Li family, as well as managers of various factories.
At ten o'clock, the engagement ceremony of Li Jingchu and Jiang Ziqing officially began. Jiang Changfeng and his wife did not ask the Li family for a betrothal gift, and it was all up to Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun to give.
Li Jingchu is the eldest son of the Li family. As a first gift, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun gave Jiang Ziqing 6,660 yuan in gift money. One of them wanted good luck, and the other wanted to gain face for their son in front of the Jiang family.
Liu Juan looked at the first gift that Li Jiaguo gave to Jiang Ziqing, and for a moment she felt panicked!
