Chapter 367: Change of Words Tea
After a burst of crackling firecrackers, the Qiao family's banquet officially began.
There weren't many people, just two tables in total.
While everyone was enjoying the meal, Old Mrs. Qiao brought two bowls of brown sugar glutinous rice porridge to the room so that the young couple could fill their stomachs.
When Lin Siqiao saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn’t dumplings.
She had seen a lot of them on the Internet before, saying that on the wedding day, a bowl of half-cooked dumplings would be served, and after eating, everyone would ask you, is it raw?
But as soon as the glutinous rice porridge entered his mouth, Lin Siqiao realized that he had let out a sigh of relief too early.
Without waiting for Old Lady Qiao to ask, Lin Siqiao had already learned to answer quickly.
"Grandma, this glutinous rice porridge is so sweet." It's so sweet that it's choking.
Fortunately, someone came and knocked on the door after a while.
He said that the time was almost up and if we went too late we would miss the last boat of the day.
Because the Qiao family had to go to the city to attend a wedding today, the finishing work at home could only be entrusted to these neighbors.
When everything was almost arranged, the group went to the new house.
Lin Siqiao has no brother, so the task of sending her out fell on Qiao Zhiping.
Although she was happy in her heart, Lin Siqiao's eyes turned red uncontrollably the moment she was carried on his back.
The distance from home to the staff quarters was only a few hundred meters, but it took Qiao Zhiping more than ten minutes to walk there.
Along the way, in addition to careful instructions, there was more reluctance to leave.
In the end, he handed Lin Siqiao to Lu Jianchuan. He had said the same words countless times, but he couldn't help but say it again.
"Jianchuan, treat Qiaoqiao well... Uncle wishes you a happy marriage and eternal love."
"I will, uncle." Lu Jianchuan promised solemnly.
More than three hours later, the ship docked at the pier, and the Lu family had arranged a pick-up vehicle early in the morning.
The wedding banquet will officially start at 6 o'clock in the evening, which is more than an hour away.
The first place they went to was the wedding room on Changning Road.
Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, and the remaining branches of the Lu family had been waiting here since early morning. Similarly, big red wedding characters were pasted all over the house inside and out.
On the way, Lu Jianchuan told Lin Siqiao about the wedding schedule, and they would serve tea to the elders in the bridal chamber later.
After we get to the hotel, there will be a swearing-in ceremony, and you may even have to wear a big red flower.
Lin Siqiao was helpless, but he also knew that this link could not be cancelled. Otherwise, if he was accidentally reported for having problems with his ideology and work style, it would be troublesome.
The tea had been prepared early in the morning, and they were just waiting for the young couple.
"Grandpa and grandma, please drink tea from your grandson-in-law."
Lu Jianchuan respectfully handed the tea to the two elders and thanked them from the bottom of his heart.
Thank them for coming all the way to Shanghai to witness his and Qiao Qiao's happiness.
I am also grateful that they have always been kind to Qiao Qiao and accepted him.
Lin Siqiao was stunned. Was this still the taciturn Brother Lu in her memory?
The other branches of the Lu family were also in a daze.
Especially Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu’s family, they just arrived in Shanghai yesterday afternoon.
When they received the call from their sister-in-law before, they all felt a little unbelievable.
I originally thought that it was my sister-in-law who was anxious to get the children settled down as soon as possible, but now it seems that it’s not my sister-in-law who is anxious, but this bad boy.
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she was so happy that she wanted to wipe away tears.
In the end, I managed to hold it back.
While taking the tea, he also handed over the prepared red envelope.
"Good boy, take it quickly."
The red envelope meant a lot to Lu Jianchuan, so he did not refuse and happily accepted it.
It only took him a few seconds to get the red envelope into Lin Siqiao's hands.
The male comrades here see the truth but don’t speak it out.
Everyone has the same status at home, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
While thinking, it was already the time for Lin Siqiao to offer tea. She said, "Mom and Dad, please drink your daughter-in-law's tea."
This immediately made Mother Lu very happy, and even Father Lu was unusually incoherent.
They didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but they both felt that today’s tea tasted particularly mellow, with a light sweetness in the aftertaste.
After finishing a cup of tea, Lin Siqiao had two thick red seals in his hands.
The next step is to serve tea to grandpa and grandma.
Needless to say, the red envelopes they gave were even more generous than those given by Lu's father and mother.
The tea was drunk and the red envelope was given, but the matter was not over yet.
Because Lin Siqiao had not formally met Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu's family yet, Mother Lu took Lin Siqiao aside and introduced them to her one by one.
The words "uncle, aunt, and aunt" are not called in vain.
Not only did they prepare a red envelope for Lin Siqiao, they also gave the young couple some wedding gifts.
There is still more than half an hour before the meeting.
Mother Lu then whispered to Lin Siqiao, "Qiaoqiao, I'll take care of the people downstairs. You and Jianchuan can take grandpa and grandma to visit upstairs and downstairs."
It’s not easy for my in-laws to come here, so I have to let them take a look so I can feel more at ease.
Lin Siqiao nodded, that was exactly what she meant.
The group went to the wedding room upstairs.
Their wedding room was the one with a huge open-air balcony. The moment Lin Siqiao opened the door, she was stunned.
How could it be so fast... Didn't they say it would take at least a month?
Everyone's attention was attracted by the wedding photos on the wall.
These days, taking photos at weddings is not uncommon.
However, most people take black and white photos, about 2 inches in size, which can be enlarged to 5 inches at most.
They had never seen anyone enlarge their wedding photos to the same size as New Year pictures.
Lin Siqiao was surprised, but more delighted.
She didn't ask Lu Jianchuan how he did it, but just hooked his finger to show with her actions that she really liked the surprise he gave her.
Looking at the sweet appearance of the young couple, the Qiao family also felt that their life was a little sweeter.
At this time, the aunts suggested that the two little ones should make a bed for the young couple.
Although it is an old custom, this tradition is still maintained in rural areas when getting married.
The uncles all said it was a good idea, and so did the grandparents, so of course Lin Siqiao followed their wishes.
Soon, the two little ones took off their shoes and climbed onto the bed.
I rolled from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed, and then from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, while my aunts smiled and said auspicious words.
"One roll will fill the ground with gold and silver, and two rolls will fill the house with children and grandchildren"
"Three rolls bring peace and joy, four rolls bring auspiciousness"
"Five rolls bring five blessings, six rolls bring good luck and fortune"
"Seven rolls bring happiness, eight rolls bring prosperity"
"Nine rolls bring love to a couple, ten rolls bring eternity"
Lin Siqiao couldn't help but smile after hearing this. She finally understood that there was a reason why customs could be passed down.
After estimating the time, the group went downstairs.
At this time, Mother Lu and several sisters-in-law of the Lu family had already arrived at the restaurant in advance. There were many people today, so they had to go there in advance to make some arrangements.
The rest of the people did not delay and set off quickly.
The hotel is not very far away, about 10 minutes' walk. Just as everyone arrived at the hotel entrance, a car stopped before them.
