At noon, the wedding procession returned to the original road, and everything went smoothly. The wedding ceremony was moved to the Veterans Fishing Port. Lu Yiwei hired a professional emcee to host the whole process, and many people were moved to tears.
Lu Lingling and Yao Na sat together with Xia Jinhe. The three women were so touched that tears streamed down their cheeks. Niu Fuyong and Lu Yiwei sat not far away. Seeing Lu Yiwei staring at Xia Jinhe intently, Niu Fuyong held back his words in his heart, but he couldn't say much. He just kept giving cigarettes to Lu Yiwei.
Finally, everything was over. The wedding was very successful and received unanimous praise from everyone. Lu Yiwei finally had an explanation for Li Haidong. At noon, Lu Yiwei drank too much again and slept for the whole afternoon. He didn't wake up until Liu Cuilan went upstairs to call for dinner.
"Yiwei, Haidong has urged us several times. Tonight is a thank you banquet, and we are all family. We are just waiting for you." Liu Cuilan looked at her slightly haggard son and felt very distressed.
Lu Yiwei turned over, looked at his watch, and suddenly sat up. He rubbed his face with both hands, lifted the quilt, and straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. "Let's go."
"Wait, I want to say something to you!" Liu Cuilan grabbed Lu Yiwei and poured out all the words in her heart, "Yiwei, I don't care what happened between you and Jinhe. Your father, I, and Lingling are very satisfied. Jinhe is here today. No matter what, you can't treat her like this. Life was like pots and pans. How could there be no conflicts? Once they were cleared up, everything would be fine. Listen to me. Have a good talk with Jinhe tonight. Don't leave her out. "
Then, Lu Weiguo also came in.
Lu Yiwei was upset and said impatiently, "I know." Then, he walked out of the door.
"Come back!" Lu Weiguo shouted, obviously very angry. Lu Weiguo rarely got angry. For the sake of his son's happiness, he had no choice but to speak to his son in such a tone.
Lu Yiwei felt helpless. He leaned against the door frame and lit a cigarette as he listened to the two elders scolding him.
Lu Weiguo said, "Your mother is right. I have taken a liking to this daughter-in-law. You must give me a statement today."
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I have my own way of dealing with it."
"What do you mean by don't worry?" Lu Weiguo was furious. He pointed at Lu Yiwei with a trembling finger and said, "Look at you. You're already in your thirties. Can't you think for us? We're already approaching our sixties. How many more decades do we have? Jinhe is a really good kid. There's nothing I can't do. I'm begging you. "
The old couple kept pressuring Lu Yiwei, which made him even more confused. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it, "You don't understand …"
"What do you mean I don't understand? I don't want to hear it! I'm telling you, Lu Yiwei, I'm putting my face here today. If you don't give me face, I won't recognize you as my son in the future! "After that, Lu Weiguo walked out angrily.
Liu Cuilan couldn't bear to see her son in a difficult situation. She said, "Son, your dad just said it out of anger. Don't take it to heart. Hey! Let's go and have dinner. Otherwise, Haidong will be waiting for us. "
The banquet was still held at the Veterans Fishing Harbor. The two families were relatives, so they recognized each other. When Lu Yiwei arrived at the restaurant, he brought four cartons of cigarettes and eight bottles of wine to the boss, Yang Jianguo. Seeing this, Yang Jianguo said angrily, "Director Lu, aren't you slapping my face? How can I accept your cigarettes and wine? Put them away!"
Lu Yiwei patted Yang Jianguo's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry to bother you these two days. The food will be paid later, but at least you have to be polite. Besides, these cigarettes and wine are not only for you. Share them with the chefs in the kitchen. They have worked hard."
Hearing Lu Yiwei's words, Yang Jianguo didn't refuse anymore. He murmured, "This is too much. It's just a token of appreciation."
"Not much. This is what I should do."
"Well, I thank you on behalf of the chefs."
Lu Yiwei said, "You can calculate the cost of the food. I'll come back in two days to pay for you."
"No, I really don't need this. I said it's free, so it's free. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. "Yang Jianguo said emotionally.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to owe others favors. He said, "That's a different matter. If you really want to, you can reduce the cost, but you can't do it all. If you do that, will I still come here to eat like this in the future? "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei had made up his mind, Yang Jianguo didn't know what to say. He said, "Alright, but let me say this first. It's my decision to reduce the cost!"
Lu Yiwei shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll go in first. I'll come back later for a drink or two."
In the largest private room of the restaurant, a large dining table occupied the center. It could accommodate dozens of people eating at the same time. After Lu Yiwei came in, Li Haidong and Mei Jia's family all stood up to welcome the most distinguished guest.
The seat had been vacated in advance. It was next to Xia Jinhe. Seeing that Lu Yiwei had arrived, Xia Jinhe also stood up and said in a gentle tone, "Yiwei, come and sit here."
Lu Yiwei didn't think much of it. He took off his coat and sat down. As soon as he took off his coat, Xia Jinhe took it from him and hung it on the hanger behind him. He didn't forget to pat the dust off his coat. All of this was seen by everyone present.
The banquet began. It was drinking again. For the past two days, Lu Yiwei had been soaking in the wine jar. Except for the morning, he had drunk several times in a row. But since Haidong was handling matters, he couldn't ignore it. He had to handle the situation well.
"Brother, let me toast to you and sister-in-law!" Mei Jia's younger brother, Mei Xu, didn't wait for Li Haidong to toast and took the initiative to serve as the host.
This was a family banquet. There weren't many rules. Lu Yiwei didn't say anything. He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp. Xia Jinhe took the glass and licked it symbolically. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mei Xu. I'm not feeling well. I can't drink. I'll just take a sip."
"Ah!" Mei Xu was surprised. "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful. I've never seen someone as beautiful as you. People have said that you're prettier than my sister. You don't have to drink. I'll drink two more glasses! "
Mei Jia, who was sitting at the side, looked at Xia Jinhe, who was indeed prettier than her. She had mixed feelings.
Xia Jinhe quickly waved her hand. "Mei Xu, don't say that. Your sister is the star of the show today. She's much prettier than me. I can't get on the stage. "
Mei Xu seemed to want to continue. He wanted to continue the conversation. Lu Yiwei coughed once before letting it go.
Li Haidong and Mei Jia came over with their glasses. Mei Jia said, "Yiwei, our families are now close. Haidong people are honest and don't know how to talk. I hope you can help them in the future."
Li Haidong saw this and quickly pulled on Mei Jia's clothes. He tried to smooth things over. "Brother, don't listen to her. I've said it before. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Now, you treat me as one of your own. Your whole family organized my wedding. I'm very grateful. "He finished his glass.
Mei Jia's words were not pleasant to the ears. Lu Yiwei did not mind. He stood up and said, "Haidong, do you still remember when I first came to Dongwa Village? You were still fooling around in the casino. After a few years, you've changed. You've become more sensible. I'm happy for you. Today is your big day. I didn't prepare anything. This is a small gift from me and your sister-in-law. Please accept it. "
Xia Jinhe heard Lu Yiwei call her that. She was very happy. She echoed, "Your brother is giving it to you. Don't stand on ceremony."
Li Haidong took the envelope and opened it. His expression changed. He quickly stuffed it into the envelope and passed it to Lu Yiwei. "Brother, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Mei Jia's family straightened their necks to see what was inside. However, they were not as fast as Li Haidong.
Lu Yiwei ignored Li Haidong and passed the envelope to Mei Jia. "Here, Mei Jia. Haidong won't accept it. You take it."
Mei Jia did not stand on ceremony. She held the envelope in her hand and said lightly, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." She thought this was what Lu Yiwei should do.
Lu Yiwei saw Mei Jia's attitude and did not say anything. He picked up his glass and drank it.
After Mei Jia sat down, Mei Xu immediately snatched the envelope from Mei Jia's hand. He opened it with trembling hands. When he saw the check printed with one hundred thousand yuan, he slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted, "Wow! One hundred thousand yuan! Sister, you're rich! "
The Lu family was very uncomfortable to see the Mei family's unruly behavior. Especially Lu Ling Ling. She was an impatient person. When she saw the hooligan Mei Xu and the arrogant Mei Jia, she would have lost her temper if it was not for her mother. After all, this was Li Haidong's wedding. They had to be polite.
Li Haidong also felt that the Mei family was a bit too much. But what could he do? Mei Jia looked down on him from the beginning. If it was not for her pestering, she would not have married him. Li Haidong always felt that he was not good enough. He was afraid that Mei Jia would look down on him. The more he behaved like this, the more useless his life was. His life was his own choice. It was not good for others to say anything.
Mei Jia's mother took the check. After confirming it, she carefully folded it and put it in her pocket. She said happily, "I will keep it for you. I can take it out when you need it. Your brother is going to get married soon. He will be rich. "
The Lu family was dumbfounded by her words.
Lu Ling Ling could not hold it in anymore. She said, "Auntie, my brother sees Brother Haidong going back and forth between Dongwa Village and the county every day. It's a little inconvenient. This money is for him to buy a car."
Mei Jia's mother's words made Lu Ling Ling choke. She said, "Didn't Yiwei give his car to Haidong? Then why buy it? Why buy so much? We don't need money for gas. We are all from small families. We are used to being poor. We don't waste money like you! "
The Lu family looked at each other. They were worried for Li Haidong, who was sitting quietly at the side.
Seeing that the meal could not go on, Lu Yiwei said, "Auntie is right. We should save money. The money has been given to Mei Jia. As for how you spend it, it's up to you. Haha. Come, let's eat! "
