Transmigration: To Be His Man-Chapter 57 I Came in the Door
In the blink of an eye, it was the day Lei Daqiang married Wei Wei.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia greeted Yue Dong in advance and did not go into the store. Ever since that night when he had taught the two of them a ruthless lesson, no one came to the restaurant to cause trouble anymore. The two of them did not go to the store for a few days, so there was nothing to worry about.
After breakfast, the two put on their clothes and went to the old house together. Compared to the previous few days, the house was somewhat different. Under the eaves of the courtyard hung two lanterns that were bright red. Several red "Happy" words were stuck to the gate, the door to the hall, and the outside wall, rendering the auspicious day's celebration.
Qin Mian approached the house as if he was walking and sized it up. He was curious in his heart, how would Lady Wei's entire family be able to live in this place after entering? Could it be that every time Lei Daqiang wanted to tell the Madam Wei something, he would force the Madam Du into his room or use a piece of cloth to split his bed in half?
Thinking about that fu
y scene, Qin Mian laughed silently. The more he thought about it, the happier he got.
"What are you laughing at?" Lei Tia slapped his head.
Qin Mian quickly replied: "Nothing, nothing." He was still smiling.
Lei Tia did not pursue the matter and pulled him into the courtyard.
Because the auspicious hour was near dusk, the courtyard was still relatively quiet. When I got married, Lei Xiangren and the other juniors were all very embarrassed, silently doing what they were doing.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you are here." Lei Xianglee walked over. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
Lei Tia waved his hand, "Go ahead."
Lei Xianglee sighed, and walked out of the courtyard, "I'm going to borrow tables and chairs."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia walked a circle around, didn't need any help, and didn't want to see Madam Du's "Everyone owes her five hundred silver" face, so he turned around and returned home.
Qin Mian suggested, "Go buy some tofu and a fish." Although Qingshan Village was rather far from the Flowing Water Town, the village had a wine workshop, tofu workshops, and a fish farmer. Usually, it was very convenient to buy wine, tofu, and fish.
Lei Tia turned his head and walked towards the left side of the small path, telling him to go that way.
"Brother Tia, are you taking a walk with sister-in-law?" Wu Di came over and joked.
Lei Tia nodded slightly.
Qin Mian nodded politely towards Wu Di and the other three villagers who were walking with him.
"Let's go to the other side of the village and buy tofu. "Where are you guys going?"
Wu Di said: "I heard that Old Zhao and his wife had started fighting, so we went to 'persuade' them. "Hahaha ??"
Qin Mian continued, "Old Zhao and his wife would have a three-day fight every day. It's nothing new in our village now, right?" This couple was a rare couple in their village. They would feel uncomfortable without fighting for a day, but every time they woke up the next morning, the two of them would walk out the door arm in arm. Their ma
ers were as intimate as that of modern people. The villagers all knew that the two of them had a good relationship. Fighting was more like a special way for them to express their feelings for each other.
"It's different this time," A young man by Wu Di's side said while laughing. "I heard that this time it's because Old Zhao didn't come home last night, and he came back this morning with a red lip mark on his clothes! "Hahaha ??"
Another person urged, "Come on, let's go take a look!"
"Brother Tia, sister-in-law, we will be leaving first!" Wu Di waved his hand and was pulled away.
Qin Mian shook his head. This Wu Di really didn't seem like a married person.
The two of them strolled forward leisurely, buying fish and tofu to go home.
In the afternoon, Qin Mian cooked three dishes, one Red Braised Tofu, one Red Braised Fish and one Pork Stewed Cabbage. Just like before, Qin Mian ate the rest of the food first, clearing away all the food and dishes.
Why didn't he get fatter? Qin Mian thought with jealousy.
After lunch, the two of them took a few steps to eat and sleep on the bed. They could vaguely hear the faint sounds of firecrackers approaching, so they quickly packed up and rushed to the old house.
Sure enough, the people who came to escort the bride had returned. The sound of firecrackers exploded outside the village, creating crackling sounds for a long time.
This firecracker sound was a way of telling people that the bride would be arriving soon, a way of reminding the family to prepare for the bride, and also a way of reminding the guests in the village that they could come knocking on the door.
When they arrived at the old dwelling, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi, and Madame Zhao, as well as Madam Qian and a few others were welcoming guests at the entrance. Lei Xiangren and his brothers were in charge of the male customers, Mrs Zhao and Madam Qian were in charge of the female customers, Lei Chuntao was in charge of receiving the kids, the few of them were so busy that their feet almost touched the ground. Lei Xiangzhi was still in the school. Since he did not see Madam Du, it was said that he was sick.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia hurriedly stepped forward to help out as well to receive the congratulatory gift and to invite the guests into the courtyard.
The wedding procession drew closer and closer. At the front were six men in red, some beating gongs, some beating drums, some puffing their cheeks while others were blowing suona; it was a very joyous scene. Behind them was Lei Daqiang who was covered in red flowers. He was gri
ing from ear to ear, as if he was ten years younger. Beside Lei Daqiang was a red four-man sedan, and the person in the sedan was naturally the bride.
Five or six men and women followed behind the palanquin, all holding new baskets with the word "Happy" stuck onto them. Needless to say, the basket is the bride's dowry, there are rice, flour, cloth, new small furniture and so on.
When the team arrived at the door, there was another burst of firecrackers. "Crack! Crack! Crack!"
"The bride is here ?? ??" The children were shouting excitedly as they tried to stop the sedan chair from getting close to the gate.
Lei Daqiang was already prepared. He grabbed a few handfuls of candy from a basket and threw them into the distance.
The children ran over to pick up the candy, cheering, and the litter landed smoothly in the doorway.
After the bride got off the palanquin, she led the red wedding band with Lei Daqiang and entered.
The guests squeezed in to see what was going on. The courtyard was filled with people who were clamoring and jeering at the top of their lungs.
Qin Mian also wanted to go over, but he didn't have the space to do so. He tiptoed and saw that after the bride crossed the brazier, she had completed the ceremony with Lei Daqiang according to the order of "First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the hall of honor and husband and wife", and was sent to the bridal chamber.
But the place he paid his respects to was actually Lei Daqiang's parents' memorial tablet.
After the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, the prospective groom, Lei Daqiang, was dragged out to drink by the villagers.
No matter if it was the master or the guest, they did not mention the reason behind the absence of the Madam Du.
It was now the busiest time, and the chefs were cooking in an orderly ma
er. After Qin Mian and Lei Tia arranged for the guests to be seated, they helped to serve the dishes.
Qin Mian looked towards the door from time to time, and said to Lei Tia in a low voice, "It can't be that you missed the time, right?"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." Lei Tia comforted his.
Just as he finished his sentence, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from outside as someone shouted, "Eat well, serve me ten servings of the spicy hot pot at the restaurant!"
The courtyard quietened down at the same time. Several surprised, surprised, or envious gazes landed on Qin Mian and his.
Lei Tia was expressionless, but he maintained his basic ma
ers with a slight smile.
After a short while, ten spirited young men entered the yard in succession, each of them carrying five charcoal stoves that were not yet filled with charcoal, and then two of them carrying a sack of charcoal, and two of them carrying five two-eared wok pots, and two of them each carrying four bamboo baskets containing different types of vegetables, including meatballs, fish, chicken pieces, quail eggs, mushrooms, vegetables, potatoes and tofu. These ten were all hired by Qin Mian.
Everyone looked at each other as they discussed in low voices with excitement.
"Old Lei Family's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are promising, this is a big shot!"
"I only need seven or eight hundred gold coins to buy those dishes!"
"Lei Tia and his wife are kind enough, father and stepmother did not forget to nurture them even after they were forced to separate."
"..."
Hearing these words, Qin Mian's mouth raised in a subtle smile.
After the ten waiters set down the dishes, they methodically placed a charcoal stove on top of each table, lit the charcoal and put it in the pot. Then, they poured in the soup and skillfully divided the dishes into ten portions, placing them on each table.
"Old Lei has given birth to a good son!" Someone said in envy.
When Lei Daqiang heard this, he felt even more humiliated. His face was red and he laughed out loud, patting Lei Tia on the shoulder and praising him three times.
He didn't know that Madam Du, who was called sick while hiding in her room, had red eyes as he looked at the people in the courtyard all wearing smiles and joyful expressions. Seeing Qin Mian's smiling face, he felt that everyone was ridiculing her, as his hands were clenched into a fist, and the pain in her chest caused her to feel pain so much that she almost vomited blood.
Her family's sister-in-law, Xiao Shi, sat beside her and quickly comforted her, "Little sister-in-law, there's nothing we can do about it now. You should open up a little. I'll go out and take a look. " It was said that the hotpot was very delicious, and she was also very greedy. Perhaps if she was one step too slow, she wouldn't have a share.
Wei Wei, who was sitting in her new room, also heard the shouts from outside, "Ten servings of Ma La Tang". Her pretty face broke into a sweet smile under the red veil.
Zhang Dashuan walked to Lei Tia's side, laughing and teasing, "I'm bleeding today."
Qin Mian smiled and looked in the direction of the house with an unknown look, "That's how it should be."
"Brother Zhang, go sit over there." Lei Tia invited Zhang Dashuan to take a seat.
After the ten youngsters mixed the dishes, Qin Mian casually took out a string of money from his pocket and handed it over to them, "It's been hard on you guys, I'll give you guys some wine. You guys can come back tomorrow morning to move. "
"Thank you, Little Boss." A few employees happily thanked him and left. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
At this point, the fire in the charcoal stove had already begun to burn, and the aroma of the hotpot immediately became strong and alluring. The atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to be driven by the fragrance of the incense as it heated up. The villagers continuously toasted Lei Daqiang, their voices rough as they congratulated him on his wedding.
The Lei Xiangren brothers also did not escape the violent toast of the crowd.
Lei Tia had a cold expression on his face. No one dared to pull at him, so the two of them were able to leisurely eat and drink, occasionally inviting Zhang Dashuan, Wu Di and the other youths at their table to drink and eat.
"Brother Zhang," a villager at the same table drank too much, his face red from drinking too much, he patted Zhang Dashuan's back with all his strength, "I heard that the bamboo sticks in Lei Tia's hotpot restaurant were all made by you, can you earn a lot of money in one day?"
Qin Mian and Lei Tia looked at each other, lowered their heads and continued to eat.
The chopsticks in Zhang Dashuan's hand paused for a moment before he picked up the dishes in the hotpot, laughing, "This is what brother Lei and his wife think of me. "Eat, eat!"
