Chapter 1805 Wedding Banquet
People in Europe and America celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day. Every year, Christmas and New Year's Day combined have at least half a month's vacation. Students have nearly a month's vacation, which is also winter vacation.
Chao's beautiful boy, Xiao Shao and Wan Qi, who are studying abroad in country Y, and Miss Chao Er's school in country F are on holiday in mid-December, because their school is in the second semester during the Spring Festival in China. It is not appropriate to ask for leave. They return home to spend New Year's Day with their parents.
The schools of Mr. Li and his brothers from the He family, who were studying in country M, were not closed until late December. Originally, Mr. Li was going to spend New Year's Day at school. Because something bad happened with his cousin at home, he went home to comfort the old man and the old ladies. glass heart.
The He family brothers will naturally return to China. Their fourth brother and eleventh brother will get married on New Year's Day, and of course they will go home to serve as their brother's best man.
Young Master Li and the He brothers returned to China together. Cai, like other international students, did not return to China. He stayed in school and took advantage of the holidays to study hard and make progress every day, striving to graduate early.
The beautiful young man stayed at his own home for a few days after returning to China. He followed the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother to his second uncle's house on the 28th to shop in advance and prepare items for the New Year's Day.
Miss Chao Er spent several Spring Festivals abroad during her study abroad. After returning home, she stayed at home for a few days. On the 29th, she and her mother went to her grandmother's house. One of her cousins was scheduled to get married on New Year's Day, so she and her mother returned first. Grandma’s house helps.
This year New Year's Day falls on Friday. New Year's Day is a national holiday and a public holiday. There is a day off on New Year's Day, which makes up three days of holiday on Saturday and Sunday.
The legal holiday is New Year's Day, so of course those who are supposed to work on Thursday have to work.
Mrs. Chao Er went back to her parents' house to help her nephew. Mr. Chao Er, his wife Chao Yi and his wife Chao San continued to go out early and come back late as usual.
Because the office workers haven't gotten off work yet, there are only three owners of Mr. Chao's house, the old man and his wife, and the brothers of the Chao family. Miss Chao is a teacher, and she hasn't had a holiday yet.
Classmate Le Xiao squeezed the subway and bus, changed several buses and rushed to Chao Erbo's villa. With the cooperation of the domestic helpers, the shiny thing suddenly appeared on the second floor.
When Mr. Chao and his wife saw the little dumplings that "seemed to appear out of thin air", they were so surprised that they loved her once they caught her.
Classmate Le, who was kneaded into dough, screamed and hid behind the beautiful boy brother, and resolutely pretended to be an octopus, lying on the beautiful boy's back like a sloth.
When Chao San and his wife returned to their second brother's villa, they saw their precious little girl hiding behind her brother's back. Only when she saw them did she stick out her little head and speak.
The couple were overjoyed when they saw Xiaotuanzi, who they heard had gone to America, come back.
A little later, Chao Yi and his wife returned to their second brother's villa and saw the same little dumpling curled up into a little kitten nestled on Bo Geer's back.
Chao Er didn't go home that night. After finishing his business at the company, he went to his mother-in-law's house.
When eating in the evening, the beautiful boy still carried his sister into the dining room, put her next to him while eating, and then carried her back to the living room after eating.
After that, the young and old sat in the living room chatting, discussing how to allocate personnel tomorrow and who would go to where for the banquet.
2020 is a rare leap year, which is the best time to hold happy events. In the past, many people held happy events every New Year's Day, and naturally there will be no less this year.
Of course, the aristocratic circles in Beijing are not exempt from customs. There were many families marrying off their wives or daughters during the New Year's Day. Some of them also had children who were one month old or celebrating their birthdays and didn't want to miss out on the good day, so they decided to make arrangements.
The Chao family received a lot of messages. Some people's banquets can only come with gifts, but of course you must go to the wedding banquet of Chao Er's in-law Zhou's hometown.
The children from the Zhou family did not post a banquet when they got married. The in-laws had agreed to congratulate them. Even if it was not appropriate to make a big deal because of Mr. Zhou's relationship, you can't wrong the younger generations, right?
There were too many posts, so in the end we had to divide the work. Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao were responsible for the education and scientific research circles, and Mr. and Mrs. Chao Yi and Chao San were responsible for their related areas.
Chao Er is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. It is only natural for him to return to the Zhou family to help. Then arrange for the Chao family's brother to go to the Zhou family for a banquet on behalf of the Chao family. This can show the sincerity of the old Chao family.
As for Xiaotuanzi, no work was arranged for her. She is a mascot. No matter where she goes, the owner will only be happy.
Brother Chao is going to sister Fu's grandma's house, and little classmate Le doesn't hesitate to choose to be the little tail of the beautiful boy brother. The Zhou family is Aunt Chao's natal family, so this face must be given.
The young and old men of the Chao family unanimously raised their hands and feet in agreement.
So we rested one night, and the next day, after breakfast, the young and old went their separate ways. There was no choice but to do it. There was a serious traffic jam on holidays, so we had to do everything early, otherwise we would be stuck in the road and wait for others to leave before arriving, which would be embarrassing.
Fortunately, some of the banquets were held at noon and some in the evening, so the young and old of the Chao family could basically cope with it.
The fourth child of the He family, He Mingxi, and the eleventh child of the He family, He Minglang, are also scheduled to get married on New Year's Day. The He family will not invite guests, and only in-laws will be present.
Yan Xing finished training on Thursday evening and went back to the He family's villa in the middle of the mountain with Xiaoliu. He packed up with his unmarried brothers and split into two groups to pick up the bride in the middle of the night.
He Xiaosi's target was a colleague from his scientific research institute, so he got married from the scientific research institute. He Xiaoshi's bride-to-be was not a local, so she booked a hotel in the capital in advance, and her family also checked into the hotel in advance, so she got married from the hotel.
The two wedding cars set off at midnight, and the bride left her boudoir at dawn, so even if they were delayed for a long time on the road, they did not miss the auspicious time when they returned to the villa in the middle of the mountain.
The He family's in-laws gathered together and it was as lively as it was on National Day.
The Zhou family of Mr. Chao's in-laws had a dinner party at the hotel because each brother's house was relatively narrow and could not accommodate too many people. The Zhou family booked twenty banquet tables.
Mr. Zhou and others arrived at the hotel the day before, and the woman's family also checked into the hotel two days in advance.
The preliminary plan is that on New Year's Day, the bride will go to the photo studio to do her makeup, then return to the hotel room. When the time comes, the groom will pick her up, and then she will be taken from the restaurant guest room to the hall where the banquet is set, and then it will be OK.
The in-laws also rushed to the hotel early to support the bride and groom.
It was originally scheduled to pick up the bride at ten o'clock, so there was plenty of time. Most of the in-laws arrived at the hotel before the groom picked up the bride. Young people also went to cheer for the groom or the bride.
When the auspicious time comes, the groom goes to pick up the bride, carries the bride down the stairs to the second floor, and then goes into the hall where the banquet is held hand in hand. Under the witness of relatives and friends, he salutes to the elders of both parties, and then sits and happily chats with his relatives. Playful.
Because they are all in-laws of the Zhou family, they are familiar with each other. Everyone is free and happy.
The whole crowd was having fun when they suddenly noticed that the hotel waiter had brought a pair of golden boys and girls!
The person who was brought to the banquet hall by the waiter was a tall and slender man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. He was wearing a camel mid-length windbreaker and a blue satin cape with a white fur collar. There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and he looked very handsome. Like the lotus on the snow-capped mountains, it is pure and noble.
He was holding a lady's handbag in one hand, and holding a delicate girl like a little fairy in the other hand.
The pink little fairy wears a white fur cloak with a purple satin hood, a coat skirt, a light purple top, a sky blue skirt, a blue satin white fox fur apron around her waist, and a comb hanging down her hair. The ring is parted into a bun and randomly decorated with several flower jewelry.
The elegant and noble young man held the little fairy's hand and walked gracefully through the corridor under the guidance of the waiter and walked into the medium-sized banquet hall.
When everyone saw the boy and girl brought in by the waiter, all the laughter and chatter stopped abruptly.
Miss Chao Er was playing with her cousins and sisters when she suddenly saw the two walking side by side. She screamed and jumped up: "Xiao Tuanzi, Xiao Bo, why are you two here? Call me to pick you up. It's so unkind of you to conduct a surprise attack like this!" The
Zhou family and in-laws were stunned at first, and then they all stood up in unison.
Master Chao Er and Mrs. Chao Er smiled like a flower when they saw their nephew bringing a small dumpling.
Mr. Zhou laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Xiaotuanzi, Xiaobo, although you always make surprise attacks, but we don't mind. You can continue next time."
The beautiful young man raised his lips and chuckled: "Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, we didn't want to make a raid at first, but the traffic was not good enough, so we were blocked on the road, and we were not allowed to see the excitement of the groom going through all kinds of hardships to pick up the bride. It's the traffic that made us late."
"Not too late, not too late, not at all."
"It's not late, you came just in time."
Mrs. Zhou and everyone in the Zhou family responded with a smile. The sons and daughters-in-law rushed to greet them. The two little brothers and sisters of the Chao family were treasures, lighting up wherever they went.
The groom and the bride hurried to serve tea.
Miss Chao Er rushed to greet the beautiful brother and the little cutie, took Xiaotuanzi's other hand, and smiled so hard that she could hardly close her mouth. It was reported that Xiaotuanzi had not returned to China before noon yesterday, and she came this time after he came back. Grandma’s house is so awesome!
She held Xiaotuanzi's little paw and treated her uncles and aunts from her grandfather's house as they came, and introduced them with a smile.
Mr. Zhou has three sons and two daughters. Miss Chao Er's mother is his youngest daughter. The grandson he got married that day is the child of his second son, who is also the cousin of Miss Chao Er's second uncle's family.
What can Classmate Le do? Just follow Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Zhou all the way.
The Zhou family uncles welcomed the Chao family brothers and sisters, all with smiles on their faces, and surrounded the Chao family brothers and sisters as they walked to the group of relatives and friends.
The bride and groom serve tea.
Student Le Xiao took the cup and drank tea. The beautiful boy first took out a red envelope from the lady's handbag and put it on the tray. Then he took out a red phoenix hairpin set with rubies and put it on the plate: "This is my little dumpling." Yes."
After giving the congratulatory gift, he picked up the tea and drank it.
"Xiao Bo, it's a great honor for us to have Xiao Tuanzi come to the Zhou family. We would never dare to accept the gift." The groom was very embarrassed holding the tray. Brother Bo's gift was acceptable, and the gift from the Chao family's little righteous grandson was Well deserved.
"My little dumpling will not say goodbye, but only a phoenix hairpin. It means that although you and your wife don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, I hope that you will have a clear understanding of each other for the rest of your life, and that your husband and wife will always be united and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
The beautiful boy put down his tea cup and smiled gently: "Our little dumpling was stuck in a traffic jam and almost doubted his life. She doesn't want to talk now. Don't think that her silence is because she is unhappy, or that she is reluctant to give out gifts."
" Cousin, don't be verbose, just keep it, Xiaotuanzi is no stranger, no matter how precious a gift you give, it's not considered a bribe, what are you afraid of?" Miss Chao Er rolled her eyes, pulled Xiaotuanzi and left
. .
The three uncles from the Zhou family were originally undecided, but after hearing Ah Fu's words, they asked the young couple to accept the gifts.
After Xiaotuanzi drank tea, Mrs. Zhou stepped forward, grabbed Xiaofenduanzi and rubbed his head, then smiled and asked Afu to take her brother and sister to sit aside.
The uncles of the Zhou family got smart and invited the Chao brothers and sisters to sit at the main table and served tea with the fruit plate.
It was not a formal banquet. None of the Zhou family's in-laws were wearing formal clothes. They were all wearing comfortable home clothes. The banquet hall was heated and temperature-controlled, and the room temperature was not too high. The young people were very angry, some took off their coats, and the middle-aged and elderly people even wore their coats. No need to take it off.
It's not hot indoors, but wearing a cloak is a bit inconvenient. After sitting down, the beautiful boy first takes off Xiaotuanzi's cloak and puts it on the back of the chair, and then takes off his own cloak and puts it on the back of the chair.
Mrs. Zhou said a few words to the younger brothers and sisters of the Chao family, and still greeted the relatives first. The uncles and aunts of the Zhou family were busy greeting the relatives.
The bride and groom received the congratulatory gifts from the Chao brothers and sisters, and the groom gave the bride a gold hairpin to wear on her head. The brothers and sisters rushed to take photos.
The bride put on the gold hairpin given by Chao's Xiaotuanzi, and the other hair accessories on her head were eclipsed. The festive ruby gold hairpin also made her look more beautiful.
The young couple happily went to give the Chao brothers and sisters a cup of fragrant tea to express their gratitude, and then went to entertain the cousins.
The handsome boy was peeling grapes for his little sister. After Mr. Zhou greeted his relatives and friends, he came over again and asked with a smile: "When Xiaotuanzi and I came here just now, we passed by the hall next to here. By chance, we saw Mr. Liu. Is there any big happy event in my hometown?"
"Mr. Liu's biological brother gave birth to three great-grandchildren last month. They are triplets, two boys and one girl. This is not a great event." Mr. Zhou sat down at the main table and explained with a smile: "The Liu family has no children this time. It is their own family members and in-laws who send out invitations to celebrate the full moon of the children." "It
is indeed a great event." The beautiful young man nodded and said softly, "Mr. Liu and several guests also saw it. They seemed to be very surprised to see my little dumpling, but they just don’t know what it means.” “
Well, I know a little bit of gossip,” Mr. Zhou blinked and looked at the little dumpling with a smile on his face. Gao Shen: "I heard that Mr. Liu's brother's son's in-laws, that is, the grandson who gave birth to triplets today. His father-in-law seems to have heard that he has a nasal tumor. It seems to be very serious. Last month, he told us These old guys have asked about Xiaotuanzi."
"I understand. I think they just want to see our Xiaotuanzi for a consultation or something. When I was asking for information before, Xiaotuanzi went abroad, right." "My
opponent, that's what happened." Zhou The old man couldn't help but reach over the young man sitting next to him, and stretched his big hand to the little girl's head to rub it.
"?" Le Yun asked with a question mark face. The old man said "enemies", why was he touching her head?
