Chapter 978 Marriage (Part 2)
Han Li's family was very lively and busy these days, but Han's father said that the tent outside and the stove, tables, chairs, and firewood inside must be watched at night.
Han's father initially planned to sleep on the table in the tent at night, but how could Han Li let his father suffer this, and he was not willing to sleep in the tent.
So Han Li unchained all four dogs and put them in the tent at night. After thinking about it, he secretly placed two little owls on the eaves nearby.
After all, the old ones are still spicy. Han's father's worries were not wrong. On the third night, the dogs bit two unknown little thieves.
When Han Li heard the sound, he only saw bloodstains, rags, and some yellow and black cotton on the ground outside the tent, as well as red hair on the mouths of the four dogs, but Yamamoto and Inoue had the most bloodstains on their mouths.
If Han Li hadn't been afraid that it would be unlucky to bite someone to death before his wedding, he would not have allowed them to kill at the beginning. Those two shameful little thieves would at least lose an arm here.
After Han Li persuaded his family and the neighbors who ran out after hearing the screams to go back to sleep, he lit a cigarette and sat in the tent. The flashing cigarette butts under the orange light reflected his somewhat gloomy face.
This matter cannot be settled. It is not that thieves steal, but that thieves are thinking about it. Otherwise, Han Li would not have released the two little owls in the first place. He now wants to know who dares to think about his family.
If it is an ordinary little thief who wanders in by chance, it will be fine. Anyway, they have been bitten by the dogs. But if it is other situations, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Han Li did not wait too long in the tent. The two little owls flew back with flapping wings.
Then Han Li asked the four dogs to stay and watch the tent. He changed into a black suit and ran away with the little owls.
It was more than fifty minutes later when Han Li came back. He sat in the tent and rewarded the four dogs and two little owls with appropriate amounts of "power pills", plus a hearty midnight snack.
The next day, the bravery of the four dogs of Han Li's family spread throughout the alley, because many people heard the miserable cries that night, as well as the bloodstains and rags on the ground after they went out.
This made the neighbors sigh in their hearts that they were worthy of being military dogs. Their attitudes towards the four dogs of the Han family changed into two completely different attitudes. Some were afraid, some were curious, and some asked Han's father to reserve puppies.
In this way, a few more days passed, and the time came to the tenth day of the first month of the solar calendar and the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The day after tomorrow is the day to entertain the elders and the leaders of the units of both parents. If ordinary people had bought the ingredients long ago, they would at least buy as much as they could, but the Han family was not in a hurry at all.
However, it was until today. In the morning, Han Li, with his parents' instructions, took the list of ingredients issued by Master Wang of Fengze Garden, the list of the types and approximate quantities of ingredients needed for the wedding issued by the chef "Chef Liang", and the purchase certificate of the unit canteen issued by Mr. Hou, and drove out in a jeep to purchase the materials needed for the wedding.
The materials were purchased at a designated location, and the types of materials here are quite rich, including chicken, duck, fish, melon seeds, peanuts, sugar, seasonal fruits and all kinds of materials.
Han Li was moved when he saw so many materials. He had harvested more than 5,000 kilograms of beef, more than 3,000 kilograms of mutton, more than 4,000 kilograms of pork, and more than 800 kilograms of venison from the Russians. These things sounded like a lot, but there is really not much left now.
In the past two years or so, Han Li himself was a big consumer. He had to eat at least two kilograms of cooked meat every day, otherwise he would have to reduce the quality of his daily exercise.
In this way, he alone consumed nearly 3,000 kilograms of cooked meat in the past two years, and more than 1,000 kilograms of cooked meat. This is not counting the huge consumption after Han Li practiced the three-body standing exercise once to make the ointment.
(According to the calculation of two kilograms of raw meat for one kilogram of cooked meat, of course, this data is not accurate, just for reference.)
In addition, Han Li also has to supply food to the ten or so people in his family, and he also has to send some to the Yun family, Master, and Sister Han from time to time, and feed the little guys in the vast peach garden.
If it weren't for the fact that he later harvested a lot of fish in Beidai H, these things could somewhat alleviate his predicament, and the current inventory in the decomposition space might have run out.
At present, Han Li's decomposition space has roughly 1,000 kilograms of beef and pork, about 1,300 to 400 kilograms of mutton, only 200 to 300 kilograms of venison, 50 to 60 large fish, and those small sea fish are not counted, because these are rations for lynx, Gers, Peregrine Falcons, and Little Owls.
The tiger meat and bear meat add up to a thousand pounds, but Han Li kept all this meat for consumption after practicing the Three-Body Stance, and would not easily take it out for consumption.
According to Han Li's consumption in the past two years, the above materials can only last for the same time at most.
Now that Han Li saw so much meat, he began to think in his heart that he had no time and opportunity to go out to replenish the materials in the decomposition space. The materials in the decomposition space were decreasing day by day and could not be replenished. This situation of eating up all the resources was too uncomfortable.
In terms of purchasing materials for his marriage this time, Mr. Hou directly issued a certificate from a certain unit's canteen, so should he take the opportunity to replenish his own inventory?
You know, there are about 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and generals in this unit. It shouldn't be a problem to open a little more, right?
However, Han Li thought about it for a while. He didn't touch the order of Master Wang of Fengze Garden. He directly increased the amount of meat on the order of "Chef Liang" by three times, and added some chicken, beef and mutton.
This made Han Li drive the jeep three times in a row to deliver all the ingredients needed in the two places, and the car was full every time.
After Han Li returned home from work, his task was to chat with neighbors and friends, and occasionally look after his little nephew. He didn't have to worry about anything else.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, more people came to Han Li's house. Although there was basically nothing going on at home, the emphasis of marriage was on excitement. Even if they didn't have time for dinner, they would come to join in the excitement, share some joy, and make up the number of people.
In the morning, Gong Jianglong and others from Zhu Lao drove three jeeps to bring Zhang Hailin and other half-grown children here, and left two when they left. As for the drivers, don't worry, most of the boys among these half-grown children can drive.
In the afternoon, Han Li, urged by his parents, brought Zhang Hailin and others to the canteen where the banquet would be held tomorrow.
They came here to clean up the venue in advance, but when they got here, they found that Zhu Lao had sent people to deliver the cigarettes, alcohol, melon seeds, peanuts, and candies needed for tomorrow.
The canteen director had people decorate the venue almost, and it was clean and bright everywhere. It was obvious that it had just been cleaned and wiped.
It is said that there are many weddings arranged in the canteen, but they have never encountered a pre-wedding banquet like Han Li, which makes them not know how to arrange the rest.
Finally, after the canteen director asked the leader for instructions, they could only hang some red silk and big red flowers in the canteen to decorate the festive atmosphere as much as possible. Han Li and others only need to bring the word "happiness" when they come tomorrow and stick it around.
That night, Han's father entrusted everything at home tomorrow to Master Li, and Teacher Zhang Yubo who came this afternoon. As for classmates and neighbors, they were handed over to Yu Daqiang to receive.
In addition, Hou Yuhua took the initiative to ask Ying to stay at home tomorrow, saying that she was afraid that her friend who had joined the team in Shanghe Village would come and no one would know him. Han Li understood her thoughts and agreed after a little thought. As for how to compensate him later, he would talk about it another day.
On the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Li drove his family to the canteen for the banquet early in the morning.
But Han Li didn't expect that there was another surprise waiting for him today.
