Chapter 2187 The Mystery of the Universe
"Does this... work? We won't be stabbed in the back by people saying that our old Yang family received double gifts, but we took advantage of our relatives and friends and gave them one meal, right?"
Old Yangtou asked still a little worried.
Yang Huaming shook his head and said: "Dad, you can rest assured. If you use two kilograms of pork as a return gift, your relatives and friends won't suffer at all, and we won't suffer much either."
"Let me calculate this account for you and make it smooth..."
Next, as the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Restaurant in Qingshui Town, Yang Huaming calculated the current price of pork and the price of wine and food.
As well as many other aspects of cost-effectiveness, I calculated it in detail with Lao Yangtou.
Moreover, he asked Yang Ruoqing to get an abacus, put it on the table and knocked it on the spot for Old Yang to see.
After a series of calculations, everyone at the table, except for Yang Ruoqing, who had long understood this, everyone else was clearly calculated by Yang Huaming.
Even the bookworm Yang Yongxian squinted his eyes with a smile.
I am very happy about this thing that is both honorable and honorable.
When it was done, Old Yang stretched out his hand to hold down the abacus in front of Yang Huaming, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't do the math, then just do it this way!"
"But, where can we get so much pork?" he asked again.
Yang Ruoqing spoke again at this time, "Are you so happy that you are so happy? Why have you forgotten what I, Mr. Ga, do?"
Old Yang slapped his head and said, "Oh, my head is really spinning with joy. No, Old Sun's family runs a pig farm."
"Yes, yes, yes, half a pig is needed to hold a banquet, and a large amount of pork is used to give gifts to relatives and friends. And for New Year's Day gifts, I have to give them to the Li family of the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law and the Zhao family of the third grandson's daughter-in-law. I guess half a pig.
not enough."
"Well, let's just buy two pigs from Lao Sun's family! Let Qing'er handle this matter, okay?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled happily and said, "Sure, I'll go over to say hello to my uncle and aunt early tomorrow morning!"
This wedding trip not only saved manpower, material resources and time for the old Yang family, but also helped Ga Gong's family achieve a business deal with two pigs. Everyone was happy, and Yang Ruoqing was also very happy.
Next, Lao Yangtou mainly started to assign errands to everyone.
The errand assigned to Yang Huazhong and his wife is as follows. As for Sun, she is responsible for finding the goddess to secure two good days.
One is a New Year's gift, and the other is the exact day to marry the granddaughter-in-law of the second wife.
Yang Huazhong's errand is to represent the old Yang family and contact and communicate with the two new in-laws, the Li family and the Zhao family, so that they can make preparations when the date is determined.
Fortunately, both families have a simple population, and the Li family only has a talented lady and two siblings, Li Xiuxin.
The Zhao family is even simpler, with bachelors Zhao Damao and Zhao Liuer.
Then Yang Huaming took the initiative to take care of the food and drinks.
Other things like greeting guests will be left to Yang Huazhou and Yang Yongjin.
The task of recording the gifts from relatives and friends and delivering the pork one by one was left to Yang Ruoqing.
The layout and decoration of the new house are basically nothing.
why?
Because Lao Yangtou was already making preparations a month ago.
The roof of the house where Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongzhi lived before was renovated to make the house ventilated.
The doors and windows have been repaired and painted with new tung oil.
The original beds, tables and chairs in the house were all replaced.
A new bed, new tables and chairs were made.
The house has been vacated, why?
Because I have to keep it for the woman’s dowry!
This is also the custom in this area of Changping Village. When getting married, the man prepares a house, bed, tables and chairs.
The woman brings a dowry, and the money for the dowry is usually included in the man's betrothal gift, so the wool still comes from the sheep.
Of course, if the girl is in good condition, or if the girl's parents feel sorry for their daughter, they will also send some extra personal money from the bottom of the box to the daughter to take to her husband's family.
When Yang Huamei got married, exactly how much money Lao Yangtou and Mr. Tan gave is still a mystery!
When it was over, Lao Yangtou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, these things will be arranged like this for now. If there are any changes later, we will discuss it temporarily."
"Let's just stop here tonight. Everyone should go back and rest until the third daughter-in-law comes back tomorrow."
"I'll go to Lao Sun's house and say, kill the pig, give gifts, and hold a banquet!"
"Bring your granddaughter-in-law to the house, and we'll have a lively New Year's Eve!" the old man said excitedly, his face flushed.
Yang Ruoqing also smiled, "Master, you have so many arrangements, but there is one person you have left behind."
"Who?" Old Yangtou asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "My third brother!"
"When the date comes out, I have to send a message to my third brother as soon as possible."
"The first two gifts were given to the Zhao family by me and my father on behalf of my third brother. This last gift, no matter what, I have to go to my uncle in person, right?"
"Look at my eldest brother, he went with his fourth uncle to give the three gifts to the Li family, haha," she said.
Speaking of this, Yang Yongxian blushed a little.
"I teach in the village. It's convenient. I have to be humble when giving gifts." He said.
"Third brother, he is far away in the county. It is inconvenient to go back and forth. He cannot compare with me." He added.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
"Well, so, let my mother go and find out the day tomorrow. This is the first step in all our affairs."
Yang Ruoqing continued, "Once the days are sorted out, we can immediately split up."
"I will write a letter to my third brother tomorrow and ask him to come back early to prepare for the wedding!" she said.
Lao Yangtou nodded: "Okay, we want him to come back early. He wants to get married. Lao Wu can delay it, but Yongzhi can't."
"Yeah." Yang Ruoqing responded.
Everyone then dispersed.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Sun took the order and set off to the neighboring village to seek help from the goddess.
It was Yang Ruoqing who accompanied her. That goddess was a mysterious figure in the eight villages at the foot of Mianniu Mountain.
Because everyone says that she can be a psychic. If your child cries incessantly at night, or there are other things that make the house uneasy, you can come to her and she can help you find some solutions.
Relatives who have passed away have nightmares or other things that disturb the living people's sleep, or make them fall ill from time to time.
Many people would go to her if they couldn't take their medicine well.
Every time at this time, she can help you find out the reason. For example, the deceased relative is short of food and clothing, or the house is leaking or something.
Let the living people satisfy this need, and then things will gradually get better.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something, but no one dares to dig into it.
As for Yang Ruoqing, she used to be a complete materialist.
