As the saying goes, God has his own way and no one can escape punishment.
Li Xu had teased him like this when Fu Qing got married, and now it was his turn to tease Li Xu.
Hearing this, Li Xu's face darkened. "Stop talking nonsense and come over here to help me clean up."
Fu Qing chuckled and saw two rags on the cabinet beside him. He took one and started wiping, asking, "Old Li, are you nervous?"
Even though she has lived two lives, it is still the first time for a young lady to get married and get into a bridal sedan chair.
How could Li Xu not be nervous?
Although he was nervous, he said, "I'm not nervous."
He knew that if he said he was nervous, that bastard Fu Qing would probably make fun of him for this for a whole year.
Fu Qing knew that the people in the car team had always been used to big things, so it was normal for them not to be nervous about something as small as a wedding. So he didn't doubt this and changed the subject, "Just now I saw my aunt take out so many chickens from the house. Are you going to put two on each table?"
"One on each table."
"Huh?" Fu Qing stopped what he was doing and exclaimed, "Your family wants to keep it simple, right? How can you have more than a dozen tables of guests?"
Li Xu sighed, "The motorcade is on break today, so all my colleagues are coming over, so that's one and a half tables. There are also some people I met outside, and they'll be coming too, so that's another one and a half tables. Add in the family and friends at home, and that's at least ten tables. My parents are worried it won't be enough, so they're preparing a little more."
Fu Qing smacked his lips, then gave a thumbs up and praised, "You're amazing. When I got married, the number of colleagues who came wasn't enough to fill a whole table."
"It's nothing special, just get to work."
Fu Qing responded and then resumed his actions.
After they worked for a while, Qin Hua and Li Hui came over.
With their help, cleaning the house was naturally much faster.
Once the wedding quilt is placed on the new sheets, the job is done.
Sitting in the room, Li Xu rested for a while and then walked out.
Seeing his relatives and friends busy in the yard, he knew that he was no longer needed for the rest of the work, so he returned to the house and chatted with Fu Qing while drinking tea.
Fu Qing asked curiously, "Old Li, with the situation at your house, aren't you afraid of being made an example of?"
"No, I've already told them, so there's no problem with ten tables."
"That's fine." Fu Qing responded.
"Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you. Are you planning to report to the neighborhood office tomorrow?"
A few days ago, Liu Wen had already completed the payment and gave Li Xu a letter of introduction to return to the street office.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the letter, Fu Qing did not rush to complete the employment procedures, but wanted to wait until Li Xu got married before going to work.
"Well, I'll go tomorrow."
Li Xu said with a smile, "My second and younger brothers-in-law are going to be in trouble now. They might even get beaten to the point of vomiting."
Hearing this, Fu Qing burst into laughter.
The two chatted in the room for a long time before leaving.
Since there were many people working at Li's house, everyone finished the work quickly. After that, they went back home and said they would come back in the afternoon.
A little after four in the afternoon.
Li's relatives and friends came one after another.
After arriving, they handed the gift money to Li Ping, who was keeping the account, then picked up a few candies or a cigarette and started chatting in groups of three or four.
When everyone got off work, the Li family welcomed another large group of people.
Li Xu chatted with people he knew until the time to pick up the bride, and then he took 10 people and rode six bicycles to the Du family.
In this way, it not only has the meaning of "six sixes are all smooth sailing", but also meets the rule of going from odd to even.
When he arrived at the Du family, he greeted everyone in the yard, talked for a while, and then walked towards the main hall.
Seeing him enter the room, Du Hong, who was originally talking to Yang Li and others, stopped talking and looked over.
The pair of almond-shaped eyes sparkled in the light, but Li Xu's focus was not on that, but on Du Hong's skin color.
Du Hong's originally dark skin had turned pale, and it was obvious that she had applied too much vanishing cream.
You know what, this looks different from usual.
He walked up to her, grinned at her, and then said to Yang Li beside him, "Mom, I'm here to pick someone up."
Yang Li's eyes instantly turned red, and even her voice seemed a little abnormal, "Xiao Hong will be handed over to you from now on, you must treat her well."
Li Xu responded seriously, "Don't worry, I will never let her suffer any injustice."
Yang Li nodded and said to Du Hong, "Go, don't waste time."
As soon as these words came out, Du Hong couldn't hold it back anymore, tears burst out, "Mom~"
Yang Li quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears, saying softly, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry any more."
Although today is a happy day, it is not taboo for the bride to shed tears. On the contrary, the louder she cries, the better.
This was the first time Li Xu saw Du Hong cry since he met her.
To be honest, he really wished he had a camera so he could take a picture of this scene...
After Yang Li's persuasion, Du Hong quickly stopped crying, then stood up and followed Li Xu out.
When they got outside, Du Ming patted Li Xu on the shoulder but said nothing.
However, Li Xu found that his eyes were also a little red.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu said in a deep voice, "Dad, don't worry."
After saying this, he took Du Hong and the people who came to pick up the bride back to his home.
Since the wedding was a simple one, the Du family's relatives, friends and neighbors could only send one representative to attend the banquet.
