Chapter Ninety-Three: The Marriage Book
"Second uncle, you can sit at this table."
Hao Xiangrou said to the man, turned his head and smiled and introduced us: "This is my second uncle, he just came from the countryside, I may not be able to greet him later, and I will trouble you to take care of him more." ”
With that, he took the man by the shoulders and sat him down in a seat, then nodded at us and turned away.
"Hey, Mrs. Wang, please wait a minute!" I shouted.
Hao Xiangrou paused, and slowly turned around, "You, are you calling me?" ”
Lu Zhen hadn't been seated yet, so she frowned and glanced at me, and said to her with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Du, I think Officer Xu may have shouted for a while." ”
Then he turned back and glanced at me in a hurry.
I smiled and nodded at Hao Xiangrou, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hao, it was my mistake." ”
Hao Xiangrou didn't seem to notice my 'slip of the tongue' again, and looked at me with interest and asked, "Officer Xu?" Are you a police officer? ”
I shrugged, "What? Not like it? ”
"No, it's just that you're too young, so ......" Hao Xiangrou made an apologetic gesture and asked me, "Officer Xu, which bureau are you from?" I don't think I've seen you before. ”
"Small place, Pingu."
"Oh, did you call me something?"
I smiled and shook my head, "No, I just think you're kind of like a friend I know." ”
"Oh, probably people are similar." Hao Xiangrou didn't seem to be able to find another topic, "Do you have anything else?" ”
"No, you go get busy."
Hao Xiangrou let out another "oh" and turned around and walked towards the main table.
Shi Fatzi stared at her slender back for a while, and suddenly whispered to me: "It's not me who blows, I am definitely very accurate in looking at people." Don't look at the five or six people dressed in this girl, like a noblewoman, I dare to pack a ticket, this Nima is a big girl in the village. I, Nima, across the table, could smell the wild herbs in her stomach. ”
I turned my face, but I saw him snorting at the man Hao Xiangrou had brought, and secretly glanced at me.
I looked back at this person carefully, and it seemed that it was easy to understand why Hao Xiangrou had placed him at our table.
This is an old man of about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a white shirt, a washed white blue cloth tunic, and black-rimmed glasses with lenses like the bottom of a wine bottle.
The way he dresses can be said to be as rustic as it gets, and if I were the master, I wouldn't know where to put him except for this inconspicuous table in our corner.
Lu Zhen was obviously not interested in this 'old earthen cannon', but just turned his head and eagerly watched the movements on the main seat.
Xu Ronghua looked at me and asked the 'old earth cannon', "Uncle, what do you call it?" ”
The old earth cannon looked a little cramped, nodded at him, squeezed a smile and said, "You can just call me Lao Hao." ”
In the face of such an honest old man, Xu Ronghua can't seem to find a suitable topic.
On the contrary, Lao Hao's eyes swept for a week, and when he saw me looking at him, he nodded at me, "Little comrade, are you a policeman?" ”
"Hmm." I smiled.
"You're friends with my niece?" Lao Hao asked.
The fat man sneered and waved his hand, but did not speak.
I naturally know the reason why he laughed, if I were friends with Hao Xiangrou, how could I 'recognize the wrong person' just now? This old Hao obviously has nothing to say, and wants to be hard-set.
"I don't know your niece very well." I squeezed my eyes at Lao Hao, lowered my voice and said, "Actually, I don't know much with the people here, so I'm here to rub the big seat." ”
"Hehe...... "Lao Hao obviously didn't expect me to say this, and smiled wryly, revealing a mouthful of yellow crooked and uneven teeth.
He seemed to want to say something, but at this time, Du Hanzhong at the main table suddenly stood up, pressed his hands to the banquet, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
He first said a few polite words of the scene simply and clearly, and then said aloud: "Actually, this time I invited everyone to come because I was entrusted by an old friend to help a child in his family book a family business. Perhaps you may think this is a bit abrupt. But my old brother has just passed away not long ago, and since he entrusted me with it, I naturally have to help with the affairs of his children. ”
Judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that before they came, they really didn't know what the specific situation was. But Boss Du spoke, how could anyone really say anything inappropriate, they were just gossiping, just saying something like congratulations.
When everyone quieted down, Du Hanzhong said with a smile: "According to the old reason, it is a big deal to marry, but now the young people don't pay much attention to these things." Therefore, we don't have to be so grand, just a formality. But ......"
He suddenly sighed, "Alas, to talk about today's matter, in everyone's opinion, it may be a little inappropriate. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate for parents to take care of their children too early. But since it was entrusted to me by my old brother on his deathbed, alas, I can only do my best to fulfill his last wish. Therefore, if there is anything appropriate or inappropriate, please give Hanzhong a face and take care of it. ”
"Hey, this guy surnamed Du is really interesting." The fat man couldn't help but whisper to me, "Isn't it just an engagement, which one is he singing?" ”
My original mind was still on that old Hao, and I was also curious about Du Hanzhong's words at this time.
If you want to talk about engagement, it is indeed a traditional old gift, even if it is entrusted by an old friend on his deathbed, Du Hanzhong's words are somewhat confusing.
I glanced at Lao Hao, then at Sang Lan, and then looked down at the small pillar in her arms.
This son of a dog is so leisurely that he actually fell asleep on her lap!
I knew that the following must be to introduce the two parties who were married, so after a little hesitation, I decided not to leave it alone. Putting aside all the weirdness, I really want to know who the protagonist of the engagement banquet that can be personally presided over by Boss Du is the protagonist.
Everyone was like me, waiting for the appearance of the betrothed parties' own families, but I didn't expect to hear Du Hanzhong say next: "Today's engagement banquet is a bit special, because my old brother has just passed away, and he is dead on the ground, and the newlyweds on both sides of the engagement cannot be present." Therefore, I can only introduce the two newcomers, and ask everyone to be witnesses and perform a ceremony. ”
"Hehe,, listen to what he means, is he going to be happy for his family by doing happy events?" Shi Fatzi couldn't help but say, "That's not right, if it's a joy, it can't be done when people are alive, everyone is dead at this time, how can you do a happy event with a funeral?" ”
I was completely intrigued by Du Hanzhong's words, and at the same time vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this.
At this time, Du Hanzhong had already taken out a large red envelope from his bag.
But anyone who has experience has already thought that it is an engagement marriage book, but when Du Hanzhong pulled out the marriage book, I looked at the paper in his hand, and my pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
