On New Year's Eve, people from several families returned early. This year, everyone had their own room, and the TV prepared for Luo Xuyan was installed in the living room on the first floor today after obtaining Wu Yunmei's consent.
In the kitchen, grandma, aunt and younger sister-in-law were preparing lunch. Two cousins and fourth brother took the red lanterns that grandpa had specially prepared in advance and hung them at the gate and under the eaves in the yard.
The eldest and second brothers came out with the couplets written by grandfather and prepared to post them. The younger cousins followed behind to help carry things. Grandpa took the eldest uncle and the younger uncle to clean up the snow piles in the yard and outside the yard. Luo Qiao looked at the busy family with a smile on her face.
Luo Haotian came over when it was almost time for lunch. It turned out that he went back to the machinery factory first to deal with all traces of Zhao Jianing's life, and then changed his clothes and came over.
The lunch was simple, and the main event was the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening. Except for my third brother who was serving in the army, all the family members were there.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was really sumptuous, with mixed cold dishes, Chinese sausage, preserved egg and tofu, crispy peanuts, braised vegetable with mushrooms, lotus root with orange juice, duck rolls with egg yolk, squirrel fish, boiled shrimp, braised pork, sauce-flavored spareribs, and four-happiness meatballs.
There were also two desserts, glutinous rice cake and fermented pumpkin. After the dishes were served one after another and everyone was seated, Luo Daoren said, "We built a new house this year, and we will have a wedding in the first month of the following year. It's really one happy event after another.
Here I wish you all good luck in your work and study in the new year, and that our Luo family will be better and better every year. "
Everyone raised their glasses and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner. Luo Qiao even ran out to make several phone calls during the dinner, and then stayed up with everyone and cooked dumplings.
The next morning, Luo Daoren took his grandchildren out to visit their neighbors for a New Year's greeting. He also told the neighbors that Xuyan was getting married on the ninth day of the first lunar month and invited everyone to attend the wedding.
After lunch, everyone sat together to confirm the guest list. After confirming it, Luo Daoren said, "Damn it, Haotian, what are you talking about?"
Luo Haotian sighed: "Let Xu Yan make the decision himself."
Everyone looked at Luo Xuyan who was sitting on the side. Luo Xuyan said calmly, "Forget it. In order to avoid any misunderstanding and make everyone unhappy, just tell your uncle."
The matter was settled and everyone got busy.
Luo Qiao stared at the money in Luo Haotian's hand: "Why give me money?"
Luo Haotian looked at Luo Qiao and said, "A refrigerator is a big item. How can I let you pay for it?"
Luo Qiao didn't answer: "That's my wedding gift to my eldest brother. I will treat my second, third, and fourth brothers equally when they get married in the future. You know, I have the ability to do so now."
Luo Haotian said: "You are the younger sister, they should be the ones to take care of you......"
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Dad, this is called investment. When I get married, my four brothers should all be married. Then I will let them bleed a lot."
Luo Haotian really had no way to deal with his daughter, so he had to take the money.
Time passed quickly and the ninth day of the first lunar month arrived soon. People from the Luo family started coming to help from the afternoon of the first day, and the ingredients for the wedding day were all purchased by Luo Qiao.
Of course, this time the old couple of the Luo family gave the money under duress. They thought that the base was a partnership between Luo Qiao and someone else, and Luo Qiao didn't explain much because it was too much trouble.
Luo Haotian asked his comrades to help find a jeep and a small truck to pick up the bride. Unexpectedly, Lu Yichen found two cars on the same day to show off. When the four cars arrived downstairs of Wu's house, there was a lot of envy.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In addition to bedding and clothes, the Wu family also gave a sewing machine and a watch as a dowry, as well as the TV and refrigerator box that had been sent over earlier. The onlookers became even more excited about the discussion, and everyone was filled with envy, jealousy, and even hatred.
