Back then, these "friends" relied on weddings and funerals to get by. Er Laizi and Bai Xi would cook in the big pot, Mouse Wang was good at playing the suona, and he would take care of it. Everyone would eat, drink, and have fun together.
He learned the suona from Mouse Wang, but unfortunately, his best "friend" Mouse Wang left so suddenly that he didn't have a chance to greet him. He was depressed for a long time.
Li Zhaohui said, "Don't forget this."
According to the rules, the person who cooked in the big pot had to be invited in advance. What dishes to be served tomorrow and what ingredients to use had to be discussed in advance.
Li Zhaokun said to Li Dong, "Later, go from house to house and borrow tables and chairs. Bring them all back in the afternoon. Tomorrow, you two don't need to pick up the bride. You take Li Pei, Yang Huai, and that Xi-zi. The four of you are responsible for serving the dishes."
He felt that his grandson and grandson needed some training.
"Okay, I'll take care of them later." Li Dong agreed quickly. Li Zhaokun finally gave him face, so he had to accept it.
Although he was very unhappy in his heart.
When he got married, there weren't so many people paying attention!
But when he thought of Li He and Li Long's marriage, he felt better. Second Brother Li was so rich, but he didn't even have a wedding in his hometown.
"Tomorrow, when the car enters the village, the firecrackers will go off," Li Zhaokun said to Yang Xuewen, then said to Hunchback Wu, "You bring some. You don't know anything. Tomorrow, you disperse the smoke. He's young, he can't even recognize everyone. "
Ordering his son-in-law was naturally not a problem. As for Hunchback, he didn't have any disrespectful thoughts. In the entire Li Village, besides his father and mother, the only person worthy of Li Zhaokun talking to was Hunchback Wu. After all, Hunchback Wu had saved his fourth daughter. No matter how stupid and heartless he was, he couldn't ignore it. So no matter what occasion it was, Hunchback Wu was always the first to offer a toast.
Hunchback said, "It's no problem to disperse the smoke."
Of course, it was not as simple as spreading the smoke. The main thing was to welcome the guests. When the guests came, they had to arrange their seats. How they should sit, where they should sit, and their seniority.
The prerequisite for getting a seat was that one had to be familiar with everyone within a radius of a few miles. Although he was an outsider, he had grown up here and traveled on ships all year round. There was no one he didn't know, and no one didn't know him.
As for Yang Xuewen, he was a lot worse. He was not bad at dealing with people, and could be considered a bad person. A lot of people knew him, but the problem was that he did not know a lot of people. He did not have as many friends as Li Zhaokun and Hunchback Wu.
"So be it." Li Zhaokun was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. He then said to Peng Dihua, "In-law, take a look at what's missing. If there's anything inconsiderate, feel free to mention it."
"What else can I say? You're very thoughtful." Now, Peng Dihua had no doubt about Li Zhaokun's influence. He even wondered if he had entered the wrong place. This was not a remote village in Northern Anhui!
After coming here, he realized that other than the bad road conditions, there was no sign of poverty! When he entered the village, he saw a big truck parked in front of every house. Occasionally, there were one or two cars!
There was only one table, but everyone had a car!
Although he was a farmer living under the Imperial City, he had gone in and out of the Imperial City. No matter what, he was more knowledgeable!
At the same time, he paid attention to the conversations of the people around him. They talked about business deals worth millions, and they said it so casually. People who did not know better would think that they were bragging!
Li Kuo's wedding caused a sensation in the county. It was the first time in history that 60 taxis, coaches, and private cars formed a luxurious wedding procession, not to mention in the county, but in the entire city!
The county's TV station's reporter car followed behind the wedding the whole time. All that was missing was a live broadcast!
After ten o 'clock that day, there were so many guests that it completely exceeded Li Zhaohui's expectations. Many of them were people that he did not know!
Not only did he not know them, many of the guests were unfamiliar to Hunchback Wu. Therefore, he urgently asked his father Li Fucheng, Yang Xuewen's grandfather, and Liu Chuanqi to welcome the guests.
They had originally planned to have 15 tables, but the current situation was not enough. They needed at least another 15 tables!
Therefore, they had to arrange for more people to buy groceries and borrow tables and chairs!
However, he was glad that his brother, Li Zhaokun, was in charge of everything. Everything was in order!
"Hey, you guys wash the dishes faster! Don't dawdle! " Li Zhaokun held a cigarette in one hand and waved at the women who were washing the dishes with the other. When he was in charge of these things, he showed his leadership qualities.
"We only have two hands, how can we be faster!" Auntie Dong Mei was very dissatisfied with Li Zhaokun's urging, but she obviously sped up. Stacks of dishes were placed on the table next to the big stove outside.
Li Zhaokun looked at his watch again, then shouted at Yang Xuewen, "Call them and see where the car is. Light the firecrackers when they come in."
"I'll call them now." Yang Xuewen quickly took out his mobile phone, connected the call, then hung up. He quickly shouted again, "Coming, coming."
He hurriedly dismantled the firecrackers and placed them in an empty space by the door. When his phone rang, he answered the call and answered a few times. He lit a cigarette and ignited the firecrackers. As soon as the firecrackers exploded, he lit another string of firecrackers. Then, he continuously lit eight strings of firecrackers before he saw the shadow of the wedding car.
The motorcade was very long, and the end could not be seen. It completely shocked everyone. Even many years later, when people talked about Li Zhaohui's wedding, they could still remember the excitement and pride on Li Zhaohui's face.
This wedding was unprecedented in Li Village, and no one would be able to do it again.
Li Kuo carried the bride into the bridal chamber. Li Zhaokun then shouted, "Those who should sit down, hurry up and sit down. Let's eat!"
Then, he led Li Zhaohui to give red packets to the motorcade's drivers one by one. It was impossible for them to ask for a meal.
Many of the cars were stuck in the newly sprouted winter wheat field, and the wheat sprouts were under the wheels of the cars. A few old men were very distressed, but it was not good to make a fuss since it was a wedding.
"Uncle Pan, I will compensate you later." Li Zhaohui not only promised Pan Guangcai's father.
"Come, come, take a pack." Li He took the cigarettes that were meant for the drivers from Li Zhaokun's hands and gave two packs to each of the old men.
Seeing that it was 12 yuan per pack of Hongtashan cigarettes, no one said anything.
When he woke up, it was already past 11 am. His whole family went to help Li Kuo's wedding. Even his mother and He Fang were helping to wash the dishes and clean the table. Therefore, it did not matter if he went or not. Even if he went, he would not be able to help much as there was nothing he could do.
PS: It's the last day, and I still need almost 5,000 votes to enter the top 10. However, I still have a little bit of hope. After all, there are 360,000 subscribers. 360,000 ladies and gentlemen, one ticket for each of them. I should be able to play around a bit, right?
Old Hat did not have any big ambitions since the beginning of this book. He did not have any grand wishes. Occasionally, he would ask for votes to see if he was playing a single-player game alone.
Now, Old Hat was very serious about asking for votes.
