Chapter 399: Two Hundred Tables of Banquet
"How can the savings of two generations be less? There is also Tang Cai's contribution. Don't think that she is alone, her husband's family also left a lot, so she should also contribute a little."
Tang Shuang pinched Sun Yong and told him not to talk nonsense.
Du Ling and Gu Youxin felt a little panicked when they saw the betrothal gifts.
Du Ling rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, you guys prepared so much. I didn't expect that."
"When I was still alive, I sold a lot of things left by my ancestors. They were still very valuable after three or four years. It was no problem to exchange them for gold bars!"
After Yan Han finished speaking, he still thought about the antique relic that was swapped by Sun Qianqian.
She had spent so much effort and almost lost her whole family to save this thing...
Yan Han adjusted his mood and smiled gently, "When the children get married, they will need money for many things. We feel relieved to leave this money in Ruoruo's hands!"
"Since you said so, I can't say anything. We will accept these betrothal gifts. I also have a list of dowry here. Please take a look."
Du Ling had already prepared a dowry list.
She is not short of money. She is also an honorary dean and one of the first ten people to return to China to represent the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Du Ling has excellent welfare benefits and earned a lot abroad. Now he has brought it all back to China and has no place to spend it, so he puts all his attention on his children.
The dowry she prepared for Gu Ruo included, in addition to the ordinary five-piece bedding set, newly made quilts and imported furniture.
I prepared a lot of jade and pearl jewelry for my daughter, as well as a full set of clothes and gold ornaments made with ancient craftsmanship.
Each one is exquisite and of great value.
Gu Youxin also gave half of the money that he had left for Gu Liang to marry to Gu Ruo.
Although the cash she had was not as much as the betrothal gift from the Sun family, it was still worth 100,000 yuan.
In this era, it is also a astronomical figure.
In addition, Du Ling gave her a savings book with US dollars, making her a wealthy woman for sure.
Gu Rou was very envious when she saw it.
"Dad, I suddenly want to get married and become a rich woman!"
"Study! If you don't do well in the test, I'll spank you!"
"Don't worry, I was in the top ten in the class in the final exam. The teacher said if I keep up the pace, I will definitely have no problem in the college entrance exam."
Gu Youxin smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth were crooked.
Gu Rou used to be so naughty and domineering, but now she has become well-behaved and sensible. Gu Youxin was so happy that he accidentally spilled the tea.
Du Ling quickly took a handkerchief to wipe his trouser legs.
Shen Junshan also took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his thighs.
Gu Youxin stammered, "No, it's okay. I've chosen a few wedding dates!"
Du Ling almost forgot about checking the almanac.
"Old Gu said we should choose a good day. We thought about it and it will be the children's full moon banquet in less than half a month. The next two months will be the hundred days. We will choose two auspicious days one month after the full moon banquet. Let's take a look."
"March 25th, April 3rd, I think the 25th is pretty good, Xiao Sun, take a look."
"I think it doesn't matter what the auspicious date is, as long as we get married early. Where do you plan to live after marriage?"
Sun Yong hopes that everyone can live together.
But it’s not good for Du Ling to be so deserted.
Gu Ruo gave Sun Quan a look.
Sun Quan whispered, "I have discussed with Ruoruo before. It is not convenient for Aunt Du to take care of Uncle Gu alone. The old man is old and can only come to help occasionally. Some things are not easy to do. I will tie Ruoruo to our house. Aunt Du will be too busy to take care of Uncle alone. I want to live here first after getting married. What do you think..."
Sun Yong thought about the younger generations in his family and realized that it was the girls who abducted the boys.
It is reasonable that his daughter kidnapped Junshan and Ruoruo kidnapped Xiaoquan.
There is still some space at home for the children to play.
Sun Yong smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to make it clear in advance. You have to go home and work when you have nothing to do. You can't be like Shen Junshan, who forgot his mother after getting a wife!"
Du Ling laughed out loud.
Shen Junshan didn't know whether Sun Yong was praising him or criticizing him.
But after returning with Jiaojiao, he almost lived in the Sun family and only came back once or twice every month.
Shen Junshan really felt sorry for Du Ling.
Du Ling didn't take it to heart, instead he was quite happy.
"There are two couples from our two families. This is such a good thing that you can't find it even with a lantern! I can't express my happiness enough!"
"I went there yesterday and bought fish. Fish! Let's eat!"
"Old Gu, please speak slowly. No one is rushing you! Let's play a few rounds. It's been a while since I last played with you!"
Gu Rou helped Gu Youxin up, and the two elders happily ran to the side to play chess.
Now that the children's marriages have been arranged, the rest of the banquet will be easy to arrange.
Given the status and relationships of the elders in the family, it would be no problem to find a big hotel to hold the wedding banquet. It would be good to hold a hotel where the child’s full-month celebration is held.
Han Jiaojiao pulled Gu Ruo and said, "My dad is going to host a hundred tables for the children. When you two get married, we have to consider the connections of Uncle Gu and Aunt Du, plus your and Big Brother's friends and colleagues. Does that mean we have to host two hundred tables?"
"So many?" When Gu Ruo was in Country M, many of the weddings he attended were buffets, and they were not so complicated.
Han Jiaojiao's wedding was very simple. Shen Junshan only invited a few tables, and she doesn't remember much about the situation.
But Gu Ruo is different, he is the center of everyone's attention.
"I think even two hundred tables won't be enough! You should prepare a few bottles of fake wine and replace them with boiled water in advance. Otherwise, after toasting every table, you will be exhausted or even die from drinking!"
When Gu Ruo heard that two hundred tables might not be enough, her face turned green.
"That means we need to prepare more plain water and fake wine. No, for two hundred tables, drinking plain water will make people die! Brother, you have to help me block the wine for Xiao Quanzi."
"That won't work!"
Before Shen Junshan even opened his mouth, Han Jiaojiao became unhappy.
She took Shen Junshan's arm and held him in her arms.
"Junshan is usually very tired at work, and he has to help me take care of the kids at night, so he can't drink too much."
"It's just water. I didn't ask you to drink alcohol. Jiaojiao, you're too stingy."
Han Jiaojiao is just very stingy.
Seeing that Gu Ruo's cheeks were puffed up, Han Jiaojiao smiled.
"I'll lend you Qiangzi and Cai Xun, as well as the two brothers from Tangshan Lane. Four of them for one Junshan. Is that ok?"
"Well, I'll agree to it with reluctance!"
The two girls laughed for a while, and Du Ling and Yan Han went to the kitchen to make lunch.
Du Ling bought a big fish yesterday afternoon and put it in a basin, planning to cook it today.
A few days ago, I asked the uncle in the cafeteria to help me get a live chicken and slaughter it. This morning, I stewed it with Codonopsis pilosula in the hanging sauce to nourish Jiaojiao and Tang Shuang.
Han Jiaojiao and Tang Shuang both wanted to help, but were driven back to the living room by Du Ling.
"One of you is injured and the other is still in confinement. You can't touch the cold water! The three of us are enough."
