Chapter 226
The snow melted.
The sun was shining brightly, but the temperature was much colder than the snow.
Today is a good day.
Because the Ye family's new house will hold a banquet in Shangliang.
This is the custom of building houses in rural areas.
Relatives, friends and neighbors will all be present to congratulate.
After the beams are placed on the roof, firecrackers are set off and sugar is sprinkled.
Usually at this time, many people attending the banquet will stand below and compete for the candy thrown from the roof.
Whether it is a child or an adult, they will all flock to it, which is very lively.
Originally, Ye Xiaochen didn't plan to make a big deal, the family's relatives and friends plus Murakami's would not exceed ten tables.
Today is just Sunday, and there are many children, but many young people have gone out to work.
Many relatives at home are also outside.
But who would have thought that when the wedding banquet was held in Shangliang this time, relatives in the family called to congratulate one after another, saying that they would come back to attend.
Naturally, Ye Xiaochen can't say that it's okay to do it when the ceremony arrives, and let's do it if it's a big deal, and he can be busy at most.
In such a family, all the relatives in the family, plus those from Murakami, probably add up to more than 30 tables.
There are quite a few relatives in the Ye family. On the father's side alone, there are five brothers and three sisters, while on the mother's side, there are a little less, three brothers and two sisters.
This is just the closest relative, there are other relatives who haven't released the fifth server, such as father's cousins!
The same goes for Mom.
Even the brothers from uncle and uncle have to come to participate.
Just these, more than thirty tables.
Not only that, because Ye Xiaochen also has some business partners who will also come over.
Although I didn't go to invite them, they got the news from nowhere, and they all congratulated, saying that they would definitely come on the day of the banquet.
In this way, at least more than thirty-five tables.
To be conservative, it is better to prepare forty tables. Once there are too many people and not enough banquets, it will be a joke.
Ye Xiaochen was very speechless, isn't it just an ordinary Liang banquet, so it is necessary to make it so lively?
But mom, dad, and the others were very happy, smiling, and extremely happy, because for them, the larger the banquet, the more guests will participate, so naturally they will have more face!
There was no other way, Ye Xiaochen could only get busy.
In fact, he doesn't need to be busy.
Because the banquet has been outsourced.
What's more, there are many people here when the family comes back, and there are many people doing things.
At ninety o'clock, guests arrived one after another.
The younger sister, Ye Ying, is carrying a bag and is receiving red envelopes.
If you receive a red envelope, you will give a red envelope in return.
This time please ask for a red envelope, usually ten or twenty yuan.
Because there were too many people, the old girl almost never stopped.
As time went by, people who started to have business and dealings arrived in cars.
Ye Xiaochen had to go up to meet him in person.
Li Jiaren, Liu Fusheng, Xu Jiao, Master Lin and so on.
There are also some leaders in the county and city.
Wang Shuisheng's family also came.
Fang Yuan and Huang Qiqi came.
Many people even came to the research institute.
I really don't know how they know.
And Zeng Hongye also sent a secretary over.
Until eleven o'clock, there were people inside and out, adding up to more than thirty-five tables.
Crackling...
On the eaves of the new house, a seal was hung with firecrackers, and as they were lit, there was an explosion that shook the sky.
All voices were covered by the sound of firecrackers.
Soon, all kinds of sugar were raining down from the roof.
Many people below frantically rushed up.
Very lively.
When the meeting started at noon, the new house was filled with tables and chairs inside and out, on the grounds, and in the old house.
There are thirty-eight tables.
This is definitely not a small scale in a farm banquet.
It was lively until after three o'clock in the afternoon, when Ye Xiaochen saw off the last group of guests.
There are only some close relatives left in the family.
Wang Xinyi also went back with Wang Shuisheng's family.
"Chenzi, come, have a drink with us."
"Chenzi, you are a big celebrity now, and the pride of our Ye family, I would like to toast you."
"Let's drink well today, and we won't return if we don't get drunk."
Sitting at the wine table were all Ye Xiaochen's cousins. There were more than a dozen of them, big and small, and most of them were married.
Usually it is so neat like today, it is hard to come across.
"Okay, I won't get drunk today."
Ye Xiaochen smiled and sat down.
After more than an hour, Ye Xiaochen finished his last glass of wine and smiled when he saw that no one could stand up.
It's really invincible in drinking!
night.
The excitement is gone.
All tables and stools have already been removed.
The floor was swept clean.
Ye Xiaochen's family is registering red envelopes.
Ye Ying took a pen, and carefully wrote down a sum of gift money in a notebook.
Now, the gift money for eating and drinking banquets starts at least 100 yuan. If you have a good relationship, it may be 200 yuan. If you are a relative at home, 300 to 500 yuan is normal.
"Wow, this is a lot!"
Ye Ying opened a big red envelope, a stack of red bills, and counted it, it was a total of 5,000 yuan.
Ye Xiaochen looked at the name, it was Liu Fusheng's.
Generally speaking, such a business partner will definitely have a lot of red envelopes.
Next, several three to five thousand pieces were dismantled.
The tallest one belonged to Wang Shuisheng, worth ten thousand yuan.
It took several hours to unpack and register the two or three hundred red envelopes.
All the gifts add up to hundreds of thousands.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's actually quite a lot.
Because under normal circumstances, if Ye Xiaochen's family holds a banquet, it is generally good to have a gift of eight or nine thousand yuan.
Now it has doubled more than ten times.
Of course, a mere hundred thousand yuan is nothing to Ye Xiaochen now.
Now that the Xianquan store in Yangshi is open, his monthly dividend will definitely increase a lot, seven or eight million this month is no problem.
"Son, so many people came to the Shangliang Banquet, many of them are your friends, so you have to return the gift. Your father and I will only care about our relatives and Murakami."
Mom reminded.
She was afraid that her son would be rude and forget these things.
Courtesy is reciprocal, since he is here to attend the Shangliang Banquet, if he has any happy events in the future, you should naturally go to attend.
"Mom, don't worry, I will remember this."
Ye Xiaochen nodded.
In the past, because I didn't have many friends, I rarely paid gift money to attend the wedding banquet.
You really need to pay more attention to this aspect.
"Brother, all your friends are recorded in this book, so take it."
Ye Ying handed Ye Xiaochen a notebook.
Ye Xiaochen nodded, took the notebook, and saw his parents go to bed, suddenly smiled and asked: "Didn't Guo Moyun also have red envelopes, why don't you write them down?"
Ye Ying blushed and said, "You don't have to worry about what he wants to remember anyway."
"All right, all right, I don't care."
Ye Xiaochen laughed.
"Money for you."
Ye Ying put a few wads of money in a paper bag and was about to hand it to Ye Xiaochen.
"Take it and use it."
Ye Xiaochen waved his hand and walked out with the notebook.
Seeing the paper bag in her hand, Ye Ying was slightly taken aback, and immediately put it into her own bag.
