Why?

Yang Yongqing and Yu Jingui from Dafang are getting married.

Although neither Lao Yangtou nor Mr. Tan liked Yu Jingui, they couldn't stand Yang Yongqing's stubbornness.

In the past six months, Yang Yongqing and Yu Jingui went to other towns together to find work, and did not come back until after the New Year.

Moreover, when they came back, they didn’t live in Lao Yang’s house. The couple lived together in Yu Jinbao’s house.

At this moment, he said that he was going to come back to host two banquets, which would be regarded as officially welcoming Yu Jingui into Lao Yang's house.

So, the three brothers Yang Yongxian are busy cleaning up the house in the front yard.

The happy event for the Fourth Fang is that the Fourth Uncle and the others are going to send a gift to Chen Biao. After sending this gift, Chen Biao can officially join Ju'er's family as his son-in-law during the Dragon Boat Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So according to the schedule, everyone is busy with Yang Yongqing's affairs now, because he has set a date for marrying Yu Jingui after the Lantern Festival on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

At night, Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei, Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer all came to Yang Huazhong's house to discuss the matter.

Yang Yongjin said: "This house was divided up a long time ago. Even if the fourth brother and the others went to the neighboring town in the second half of last year, we did not touch their half-room and kept it for him."

"This time we just cleaned their whole room, brushed off the dust on the walls and tables, and put some big red happy characters on it."

"There is a bed, a table and four stools in that room. As for the other things, my eldest brother and my third brother, I and I have planned to buy him a set of clothes cabinets and pots and pans for the kitchen."

"The bride price and so on are the fourth brother's business. They have lived together before they got married. They must have discussed the bride price and dowry themselves, so there is no need for us to worry. The fourth brother is not like our brothers.

We won't ask any more questions about heart-to-heart talk. Third uncle, do you think this is okay?" Yang Yongjin asked Yang Huazhong.

After Yang Huazhong pondered for a while, he said: "It's really not easy for you brothers to help him like this when a young boy is so good."

"I think that's it. As for the banquet..."

Yang Yongzhi took out five hundred coins from his pocket and said, "Leave five hundred coins here for me, and let me take care of the money."

"Five hundred wen?" Yang Huazhong glanced at the money, made a rough calculation and said: "According to the standards of this banquet, a table of meals will cost at least nearly three hundred wen. Five hundred wen for two tables of rice is enough."

It’s a bit overwhelming!”

Yang Yongjin said: "Just the people from our old Yang family sitting in rows have already filled two tables. In addition, we include real relatives such as aunt and grandpa, as well as several village elders in the village, Uncle Chang Geng.

Uncle Niu and the others, even if our old Yang family's women and children don't come to the table and eat some leftovers, they still have to prepare enough money for three banquets. We can't make it happen without nine hundred coins!"

Yang Huazhong directly took out five hundred coins from his body and handed it to Yang Yongzhi: "This is a congratulatory gift from me and his third aunt. Counting it in, we can almost host a banquet."

Yang Yongzhi returned the five hundred coins to Yang Huazhong, "Third uncle, what are you doing? How can you, an elder, add more money when we have several brothers?"

Yang Yongjin also nodded, "Yes, when our three brothers came, we had already calculated it together. Each of us contributed another five hundred coins, which is our wish. In this way, when we put it together, we will have two taels of silver.

"

"Two taels of silver buy a few banquets, some firecrackers, melon seed candies to greet the guests, and return gifts to the guests. These are enough. You can't just sit and wait for the meal when the guests come, and then send them away after the meal.

Get lost!"

Yang Yongjin's words made everyone laugh.

Yang Huazhong said: "As a member of the family, we, as family members, will do our best to help this young boy get married. After all, this is the biggest thing in his life."

Brother Yang Yongjin nodded one after another, and after everyone discussed the menu, process, and list of relatives and friends for the banquet, they dispersed.

Regarding Yang Yongqing and Yu Jingui's marriage, what kind of gifts should be given, how much and what should be given, Yang Huamei found some time and came to Yang Ruoqing specifically to discuss.

Because they are all married daughters of the old Yang family, they have the same status.

Yang Ruoqing took some snacks and asked Da Bai and Xiao Hei to play in the yard with Luo Baobao and Da Zhi, while she and Yang Huamei sat on the couch under the window and talked.

"I get annoyed when I hear the name Yu Jingui. This young boy who married a second-hand guy is still a troublemaker." Yang Huamei sighed with a sad face.

"It's funny to say that my mother's nephew is getting married, and I, as an aunt, am so miserable that others have laughed at me."

"But Qing'er, why can't I be happy? Why?" Yang Huamei patted her thigh, feeling extremely depressed.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Auntie, please stop worrying so much, okay? This is my little cousin's own choice, and it is also his fate."

"Even if you know it's a disaster and you marry her into the family, it's your little cousin who will be the disaster."

"It's time for us to separate our families. They are all single-family households. What are we afraid of!"

"Besides, even if you are not willing, my little cousin is willing and insists on marrying her like a treasure. What can we do? Let's live our own lives!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Yang Huamei said: "Yes, I also like to worry too much. I mainly see Yongxian being tortured like that by Li Xiuxin, and I feel sorry for him from the bottom of my heart."

"I'm afraid that Yongqing will follow in the footsteps of Yongxian."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "You don't have to worry about this at all."

"My cousin and Li Xiuxin lived together after they got married. They got along with each other. They didn't know each other's living habits and true temperaments before."

"And my little cousin has been living together with Yu Jingui for half a year. To put it bluntly, I came back this time to make up for a banquet and make their relationship legitimate," she said.

Yang Huamei said: "I understand, you have to get on the boat first and then pay for the ticket, so I know what this broken boat is like."

Yang Ruoqing laughed again, "My dear, you are so funny. It amused me to death."

Yang Huamei said: "Okay, let's stop laughing and talk about something serious. How many gifts do you plan to give this time?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "Those people we have friendship with in the village should give thirty to forty cents, so let's just give sixty cents, and we won't buy anything else."

Yang Huamei said: "Sixty coins is too much. I only get 40 coins. Even if I give you 600 coins, they won't remember it."

"You get what you give. Next time something happens to us, they won't think of returning the gift!" she said.
