Without saying a word, Ye Hongmei followed Fu Qing out at the urging of her family.
She didn't cry like other girls when they got married, but instead she was all smiles.
When they got outside, everyone took Ye Hongmei back to the Fu family without delay.
It was still the familiar wedding process. After it was all completed, Ye Hongmei's father brought his relatives and friends over.
Fu's relatives quickly set up tables and chairs in the main hall where the ceremony was to be held, and then invited others to sit at the table and serve the dishes and bowls.
Li Xu went forward to help serve two dishes, but was discovered by Uncle Fu and his wife, so he was sent back to the table. He could only chat with Li Jiakang and his wife while waiting for the meal to be served.
Seeing the lively scene in the yard, Sun Xiu couldn't help but smack her lips and whispered, "Xiao Xu, when you get married next year, Mom will give you a wedding as lively as this one."
Li Xu shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Just do something simple. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
The trend will start next year, and then there will be opposition to extravagance and waste in the city. If we hold a large-scale event and someone takes advantage of it, that would not be good.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiu was quite firm in her attitude. "No, we have to have a grand wedding. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law had a simple wedding because they had no other choice due to the disaster. Now that the drought is over, we have to have a grand wedding no matter what."
"Xiao Xu, to tell you the truth, if we don't give you a big celebration, your grandfather and the others won't agree." Li Jiakang persuaded.
Not only did they want to take this opportunity to demonstrate their family's strength, but they also wanted to compensate Li Xu for his contributions to the family over the past two years.
Li Xu naturally understood their thoughts, so he showed a helpless expression, "It's a bit early to talk about this now, let's talk about it later."
"Okay." Sun Xiu agreed immediately. "Let's discuss it in detail after the date is set."
After a while, the food was served, and there was a pot of white wine and a stack of cups on each table. It seemed that they wanted everyone to help themselves and pour as much as they wanted.
After everyone poured themselves some wine, Uncle Fu and his wife stood up and said some words of thanks to their relatives and friends for their support, then drank the half glass of wine in one gulp.
This move won rounds of applause.
Then Uncle Fu said "Eat well and drink well" as his closing remarks. After hearing this, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks.
I have to say that the dishes on the table were really rich. Although there were more greens, cabbages and radishes, there was also a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat, which made everyone eat voraciously and were reluctant to look up and take a break.
Li Xu and the other two were very accustomed to these delicious dishes. Not only did they eat slowly, they also chatted from time to time, which was in stark contrast to the people around them.
Finally, the three of them finished the white wine in their cups, ate three taels of white rice each, and then stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
When they reached the door, the Fu family members who were waiting to see off the guests hurriedly asked, "Why did you finish eating so quickly? Is the food not to your liking?"
Hearing this, Li Jiakang couldn't help but laugh, "If such delicious dishes don't suit your taste, what else can I eat to satisfy you?"
Li Xu then explained, "Uncle Fu, the three of us can't drink much, so we didn't drink that much, so it ended quickly."
In fact, most people have almost finished eating at this time, but they want to drink more wine, so they are reluctant to finish the last few bites of food.
This way it seems that they are not there just for the wine, but because they haven't finished their meal yet, and it also saves face.
The Fu family members understood what he meant and knew that the three Li family members didn't want to drink for free, so they all laughed and said, "Okay, then we won't keep you here. Be careful on the road."
The three of them responded and then said goodbye and left.
When passing by Fu Qing, Li Xu patted him on the shoulder and gave him an intriguing look.
This made Fu Qing very confused, not knowing what he meant...
When I got home, I saw Hu Guilan asking, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxu, are you full? Do you need me to make some more?"
"No need." The three responded.
Then Sun Xiu talked about how lively the wedding banquet was.
Li Xu knew that if he didn't stop her, she would bring up her wedding plans, so he quickly interrupted her and said, "Mom, please don't talk about this for now. I have a question for you."
Sun Xiu frowned, his interest interrupted. "What's the problem?"
"I heard the Sun family has a unique skill, the lion dance, passed down from their ancestors. Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Ah?" Li Ping and the others were all shocked. "Is there such a thing?"
Obviously, they didn't know about this either.
Sun Xiu frowned even more, "Who told you that?"
"My great uncle said so, and he also said that there would be a lion dance performance when my eldest cousin got married."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Xiu's brows relaxed immediately. "Indeed, this is true. This is a rule set by the ancestors of the Sun family. Only those who have made contributions to the clan can enjoy it. To be honest, I haven't seen it in many years. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten it."
Li Ping looked at her cheerfully, "Mom, you definitely don't want to tell me because you forgot."
Li Xu and others nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with this statement.
They are not blind. When Sun Xiu heard about this, his first reaction was obviously not to recall whether this happened, but he did not want to mention it from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing their expressions, Sun Xiu said unhappily, "If you forgot, then you forgot. Do I need to lie to you?"
"Xiu'er, look, is there anyone in this room who believes what you said?" Li Jiakang said with a smile.
"Believe it, believe it, grandma, believe it."
At this time, a voice came from Li Ping's arms.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Li Wenbai who was shouting loudly.
Hearing this, Sun Xiu's face was instantly filled with smiles, and she stretched out her hands, "Grandma's eldest grandson is still the best. Come on, give grandma a hug."
Li Ping handed Li Wenbai over. After taking it, Sun Xiu kissed his little face hard several times before stopping. Then she said proudly, "Did you hear what Wenbai said just now? He believes it, and you still don't believe it?"
"He is ignorant. Why don't you ask other people?" Li Jiakang said unhappily.
Sun Xiu turned his gaze to Li Chen and Li Ju who were watching the fun on the side.
Before he could speak, Li Ju smiled and said crisply, "I believe it too."
Li Chen shuddered and agreed.
Sun Xiu was even more proud now. "So, Wen Bo is ignorant, but they are both so old, aren't they ignorant?"
Li Jiakang was furious and glared at Li Chen, "You bastard, you can lie about something so obvious with your eyes open?"
Li Chen was confused. He was the last one to speak, so why was he still blamed?
