Qi Jinzhou brought three people with him, Lao Shi, his master Lao Zhang, and Lao Liu who was already at the township public security bureau not far from Sihe Village.
Good things come in pairs, and even the number of people meeting each other cannot be odd, four is just right.
As soon as he arrived at the Ma family, he saw a huge crowd of people. Old Zhang opened his mouth while sitting in the car and looked at his apprentice beside him.
"Are you getting engaged today?"
Qi Jinzhou put his fist to his lips and coughed a few times, then looked at his master with a smile, "Their family is a bit large, there are 9 sisters."
"Nine..." Even though they lived in the same era, Old Zhang, a native of the Great Wall, still found it a little hard to accept, "Your future mother-in-law is a sow that has turned into a spirit!"
"Tsk! Old Zhang!" Policeman Old Liu wanted to push open the door and get out, but was suddenly held back by these words. "You're already in your fifties, can you please behave yourself? You're representing the elders of Jinzhou today! How dare you talk to the parents across the street like that!"
Lao Shi had already gotten out of the car. He was also worried when he saw the two middle-aged men in the car. "Alright, alright, you two, hurry up and get out! The people inside are about to come down to invite you!"
At the gate of the courtyard, a group of little girls ignored what the adults said and insisted on squeezing in to watch the excitement. When they saw the big truck coming slowly, Liu Ni pointed over there and said to Lin Shuying,
"Look, cousin, that's my future brother-in-law's car!"
"He's still my brother-in-law!" Sanni stood at the back and kept emphasizing what she had said several times, but no one listened. "Also, that car is not his, it belongs to their factory!" This guy uses the public bus for personal purposes every day, and one day he will be reported!
Lin Yulan and Shen Chunhua were cooking in the kitchen. While they were cooking, they found that the girls who were helping in the kitchen had all run away. They knew that someone must have come. It didn't matter if it was the others, but San Ni couldn't go out without permission.
She hurried out in her apron, "Sanni! Ouch! Grandpa! What are you doing here? Go inside and sit down. Wait until they come in and see! Si Ni, come back and help too. How can you let your eldest sister be picking vegetables with such a big belly..."
Lin Guoqing and Ma Dexiang had already come out to greet them and shook hands with Lao Shi and the others. "Come on, come on, come inside quickly. It's getting cold now that the sun sets. You should be able to have dinner after sitting inside for a while."
When Qi Jinzhou got off the bus, he took two bags of things out of the car. Lin Guoqing saw this and thought to himself, this guy is smart!
However, Ma Dexiang, as the host, was still trying to shirk responsibility, "Oh no! How can this be? We're just having a casual meal today, what's the point of taking anything?"
Who brought something to see the bride?
But then again, who would treat someone to a meal when they meet someone new?
Both sides are waving the banner of procedures, but what they do is not in accordance with the rules at all, so why bother?
"Hey, Secretary Ma, this kid is visiting your house for the first time, so it's just a token of my appreciation. If you two could truly become a family, it would definitely be more than just this. Don't refuse."
"What a shame, this kid! Come on, come on, sit inside."
Except for the eight-immortal table against the wall in the middle of the main hall, everything else was tidied up. Two large round tables were placed there, half of one of which was exposed outside.
There is no way. It is early spring now and it is too cold to eat in the yard. There is no room for eating in the house. I will have to sit on this side by myself.
Sanni was asked to change into her latest clothes, and her ponytail, which was originally tied up casually, was now let down. Erni also brought her own perfume and insisted that she apply some.
Sitting at the big round table inside, I looked into each other's eyes, neither of us wanting to look at the other.
Lin Yulan and Shen Chunhua seemed to be calculating the time. When someone came in, they would come out of the kitchen with grins on their faces.
"Oh, this is Jin Zhou, right? Just like her aunt said, she's really pretty!" Lin Yulan had been told to hold herself a little higher. This would be arrogance on anyone else, but for Lin Yulan, it was perfectly normal.
But as soon as she saw Qi Jinzhou, she remembered the day he saved her daughter, and then today when the lights were on, she looked at his appearance carefully and laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face. How could he be so arrogant?
"Come on, come on, sit down, or sit next to Sanni..."
"Come into the boat! Sit here!"
Chen Chunhua quickly pulled out a chair and called out to people to come sit down in a louder voice, while secretly giving Lin Yulan a look.
Hey, big sister! Can we just sit wherever we want?! Didn’t we already tell everyone who sits where?! What the hell are you doing?!
Lin Yulan seemed to react at this moment, "Ah, yes, yes, sit there, sit there..."
I was a little excited and completely forgot about the rehearsal just now.
The two old Mas were still thinking about what their son had just said: it's okay not to give face, but it would be a disgrace to the entire Ma family. So when the person came in, they still stood up to greet him symbolically.
However, they and Liang Shengdi were the most senior elders today, so they just had to stand there and wait for people to come and say hello.
"These are my father and mother." Ma Dexiang spread his hands and introduced them.
"Hey, hello, old man, old lady!" Lao Shi is the matchmaker on the man's side today and the only one with a relatively neutral temperament, so he has to take the lead. Later, Lao Zhang and Lao Liu come up to say hello, and Lao Shi introduces who this is to my parents.
"Come on, get on the boat and say hello."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
Qi Jinzhou stood straight, without that playful smile on his face. He looked very serious. He bent down slightly to greet people while holding the gift bag.
"Hmm..." Old Man Ma just stood there and nodded. Old Lady Ma followed and said, "The young man is quite upright."
Okay, that's already very respectful.
Ma Dexiang turned his head around the room, looking for another elderly person. "Mom? Her grandmother?"
"Here, here!" Liang Shengdi squeezed out from behind a group of girls, patting her clothes with her hands. Her mouth was bulging, and no one knew what she was eating. Lin Guoqing looked at her so hard that she closed her eyes.
After finally swallowing the delicious cake in her mouth, Liang Shengdi squinted her eyes and greeted with a smile, "Xiao Qi! See you again!" She didn't even dare to open her mouth too wide, for fear that the powder from the delicious cake would spray all over her.
Do you think that girl Shumei did this on purpose? She didn't give her food earlier or later, but she gave it to her now!
Lin Shumei stood at the back, tiptoeing with Ba Ni and Jiu Ni, looking ahead. Jiu Ni was a little worried, "Eighth sister, cousin, will grandma choke? She just stuffed such a big piece in."
Lin Shumei scratched her head. "That... isn't it? Grandma always eats with big mouthfuls."
Her grandma is the same, didn't she say she doesn't eat cakes? Why do I feel greedy again after watching them eat today?
