He had just put down his axe and was about to step into the house when suddenly a tall figure blocked his way. Looking closer, he saw it was Wang Hu. Wang Hu stood with his arms crossed, a sly smile on his face, staring intently at him.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, looking at Wang Hu with a puzzled expression. At this moment, Wang Hu spoke up, "A red envelope! What's wrong? Everyone else gets one, why can't I?" His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and expectation.
Hearing this, he suddenly understood. The amount in the red envelope wasn't important; it was all about the festive atmosphere and good fortune. Especially on such a special occasion, he couldn't ignore his brother-in-law's feelings. Thinking this, he quickly smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, don't worry, how could I forget you! I specially prepared a big one for you." As he spoke, he reached into his right back pocket.
A moment later, a thick red envelope appeared in his hand. He handed the envelope to Wang Hu, who eagerly reached out and took it.
After receiving the red envelope, Wang Hu first gently squeezed it with his fingers to feel its thickness. Then his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Wow, they're really generous! This must be worth at least 1,000 yuan!"
Zhang Qing smiled slightly and nodded. Actually, he had deliberately filled both of his back pockets with red envelopes today.
The big red envelope on the right was specially prepared for Wang Hu, after all, his brother-in-law was so generous a while ago, directly buying a car for the couple.
Although the car is nominally Wang Yue's, he's actually the one driving it since Wang Yue doesn't have a driver's license yet!
The red envelopes in the left back pocket were reserved for the people who would block the door later.
These red envelopes varied in size, some containing one yuan and others containing ten yuan; in short, there were many of them.
Wang Hu didn't get involved in the later checkpoints at all; he was currently busy as a bee! It turned out he was moving the incredibly generous dowry.
He carefully prepared two heavy, gleaming gold bars, each weighing one kilogram, and gently placed them into an exquisite box.
This precious thing is extremely valuable and needs to be kept a close eye on. Otherwise, if it is accidentally lost, although Wang Hu may not care with his wealth, the back-and-forth trouble will inevitably disrupt the normal progress of the wedding!
Time passed by, and after about half an hour, Zhang Qing finally emerged from the house with a beaming smile, carrying his bride, Wang Yue, on his back!
That said, Zhang Qing's family lived at the east end of the village, while Wang Hu's family lived at the west end; the two families were quite far apart. Therefore, the wedding procession couldn't enter the village directly and had to make a long detour around the outside of the village first.
The sound of firecrackers crackling incessantly along the way was deafening. Not only that, they also frequently encountered mischievous individuals who stopped the wedding car demanding red envelopes.
Having no other choice, I had to give them a pack of cigarettes and listen to a few auspicious words before they would let me pass and continue on my way.
Finally arriving at their destination, the bride and groom began to get out of the car! At the same time, a group of strong young men following behind immediately began unloading various items from the car.
Wang Hu, who was blocking the truck, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't move! Don't move anything! You can move things, but you have to send me a red envelope first!"
Actually, what he really cared about wasn't the red envelope, but rather getting Zhang Qing over quickly so he could personally take over the box containing the large gold bars.
Zhang Qing was eating raw dumplings at the moment and had no time to spare when his father came over, holding a red envelope in his hand. "This is a red envelope from Hu Zi!"
"Uncle, thank you for the red envelope!" Wang Hu said with a smile after taking the red envelope, and then handed the box in his hand to him.
"Goodness, this is heavy! What's inside?"
Wang Hu stopped him just as he was about to open it, saying, "No matter what's inside, it's all part of your dowry. You can take a look when you get back!"
Judging from his expression, Zhang Qing's father guessed that there were some valuables inside. He understood and took the box into the house, then handed it to his wife to keep an eye on.
