Chapter 983: Urging for Makeup
Liu Cuihua, Aunt Liu and her daughter, and Niu Dahai and his wife, were on the same train as Zhao Shengli and Liang Ziqiang, but they did not meet on the train, but met at the exit.
Liu Cuihua had been in Sijiu City for many years, and now she felt like she was back home.
Zhao Shengli had been to Han Li's house, and the group came to Mianhua Hutong under the leadership of the two of them.
But they did not expect to meet Zhang Xiangjun and Yin Lanfen at the entrance of the hutong, and they came to Han Li's house together.
It was time for Han Li to send his family back and drive to the canteen to bring back cigarettes and alcohol.
When Han Li brought Zhang Yaozu back, they were sitting in the tent, drinking tea, smoking and chatting, accompanied by Han's father, Han's mother, He Mi, and Hou Yuhua.
It was particularly touching to meet old friends. Before Han Li's car stopped, young people led by Ding Yulan, a sharp-eyed little girl, surrounded him.
"Brother Han, when did you learn to drive a car, and drive with one hand."
"Brother Han."
"Han Li."
Han Li was surprised to see so many familiar faces. They were not here just now, but they suddenly appeared. After getting off the car, they greeted the younger ones and walked into the tent.
"Aunt Liu, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Liang, Brother Niu, Xiangjun, Sister Xiujuan, Lanfen, Chaomei, Ganying, Chunhua, Tiezhu, Yonghong, I am so happy to see you."
The next thing was simple. After everyone laughed and laughed for a while, Qi Zhaodi's cooking skills that had been suppressed for a day were displayed at this moment.
However, while Qi Zhaodi was cooking and everyone was chatting, Han's mother ran to the hotel at the entrance of the alley and booked the required rooms according to the number of people and family.
The banquet was set up at two tables. Han's mother and He Mi accompanied Aunt Liu and other female comrades at one table, while Han's father and Han Li were responsible for the male comrades at the table. During the period, two elderly neighbors were called to accompany Yu Daqiang.
The laughter from the lesbians was frequent and loud, while the sounds from the lesbians were mainly about playing finger-guessing games and drinking games, and there were also whispers from those who didn't get to drink games. In short, the big tent was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After the banquet, everyone talked for a long time about what happened to each other after leaving Shanghe Village, and Han Li sent everyone to the hotel that his mother had booked.
When Han Li went home and lay on the bed, he felt particularly tired. This was the feeling that his parents had taken care of almost all the trivial matters. Otherwise, Han Li would only feel more tired now, and might even miss something.
But today was just the beginning. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day of returning home, Han Li still had several tough battles to fight.
After waking up, it was the next day. Before Han Li's family and a group of friends who came from afar finished their meal, the outside became lively.
It turned out to be the vanguard sent by the chef Liang's kitchen business. These people pulled several carts, and the first batch of carts were all loaded with items for the wedding shed.
When the others were unloading the carts, Cook Liang asked for the opinions of Han's father and mother.
After unloading the carts, four or five people who were building the wedding shed were left, and the others went back to pull the items needed for the kitchen.
The Han family had just put down their breakfast bowls and chopsticks when Han Li's childhood friend Yu Daqiang and others arrived, followed by the master with a group of junior brothers, and then Tong Shaoxin from Shichahai Sports School.
Han Li had just welcomed the master into his parents' room and had just given out cigarettes to the others when he came out.
Zhang Hailin and Hou Huidong drove two cars as drivers, and brought Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Ling, Hou Liru, Li Yunhua, Guan Haijiao, Song Guanghui and others over.
Han Li didn't bother to be polite with them. When he was halfway through smoking, he began to assign tasks to them. He asked Hou Huidong and his team to get another tent of similar size to the one they had built a few days ago.
Because the two rooms where the Han sisters lived would be used to store meat and prepare cold dishes, Han Li asked the others to move all the things in the two rooms outside and move them into the tent after Hou Huidong and his team had built their tents.
Why the rooms of the Han sisters? That's because the room of Han's father and mother was used as a place for women with children to rest, and Han Li's room was used to keep accounts and receive important relatives and friends.
Kitchen? It still functions as a kitchen, but its function has become smaller in the past two days. Of course, the ingredients originally placed in it will also be moved to the rooms of the Han sisters.
Han Li had just made the arrangements when Han's mother, Aunt Liu, and Hou Xiujuan began to urge them.
"Han Li, stop hysterical in the courtyard, it's getting late now, we should take the things to Yun's house to urge the makeup."
"So early? It's just a little after nine now?"
"What do you mean early? If it was the Republic of China, if the two in-laws were a little far away, you would have to go out in the dark to your mother-in-law's house to urge the makeup."
"Go early and come back early. We don't have to worry about this matter anymore after you go."
"Okay then."
"Aunt Zhang, can I go with Brother Han to see Sister Yun?"
"Yes, of course. There are not many rules here today."
"Aunt, I haven't seen the makeup urging in Sijiu City. Let me go with my brother this time?"
"Go ahead, Xiujuan, you are eloquent, and I feel relieved to go with you."
(Urging the makeup: Sijiu City's custom, the day before the wedding, the man's family must prepare an even number of fruits, snacks, wine, meat, rice and flour, etc., and deliver them to the woman's family before noon.)
Han Li took eight red wooden boxes from his mother, which were filled with eight large pastries, high-quality preserved fruits, famous cigarettes and liquor, and two large pieces of beef and mutton.
Then Han Li called Gan Weijian and Chen Jianwen, two junior brothers, to hold the boxes, and went out with Hou Xiujuan and Ding Yulan. He had just started the car when Liu Zhongcheng and Liu Zhongxin, the brother and sister, ran over secretly.
"Brother Han, we also want to see my sister-in-law. Can you take one of us?"
"Then you two can come up and squeeze in."
In this way, Han Li drove the jeep with 100% overload towards the Yun family. When he drove out of the alley, he saw several leaders from the street office and the bus company rushing here.
When Han Li and his friends arrived, the Yun family was already ready. Several leaders who attended the banquet yesterday personally took the makeup boxes brought by Han Li and his friends, and came upstairs to meet them.
There were many Yanda students in the Yun family today. They were all classmates of Yun Yingying and He Mi. Seeing Han Li, they didn't treat him as an assistant teacher at all. They laughed and came to sit in the house.
According to the rules, Han Li didn't have any wine this morning, but it didn't stop them from keeping Han Li for a while.
Except for wasting some saliva and smiles, the process of urging makeup was quite smooth.
However, Han Li replied.
