Chapter 144 Dahu Gets Married
eighth day
Everyone was busy with various things. Grandpa He went to the village auditorium to arrange a banquet for the whole village.
The He family provided the pork, and the villagers took care of the rest. Every household contributed some dishes, and soon the tables filled the meeting hall.
He Lai was alone in the yard. After all, Da Hu needed to prepare for his wedding, and he couldn't help much except for a bag of candy and a red envelope, so he didn't want to make things worse.
Dahu's family was also full of women. He Lai thought he would go there when he went to pick up the bride.
"Xiao Laizi!" Sha Zhu was the first to come in from outside the yard. He Lai was stunned for a moment, why did Sha Zhu come here?
"Brother Zhuzi, why are you here? Come and sit down." He Lai stood up and brought a stool to Sha Zhuzi.
"It's not just me. Yu Shui and Aunt He are here too." Sha Zhu said with a smile.
Sure enough, Yu Shui's little head popped out from behind the courtyard gate.
"Brother Lai, is this a surprise?" Yu Shui skipped to He Lai's side.
"Why are you all here? Where's mom?" He Lai asked with a smile.
"Mom said that she went directly to Brother Dahu's house. She asked us to come here to find you by ourselves." Yu Shui explained.
He Lai curled his lips. It’s just a few steps away. What’s the big deal? Don’t you really want to see your son?
"Today is the weekend. Aunt He said she wanted to come back to visit because her nephew was getting married. We didn't have anything to do, so Yu Shui and I came along."
Sha Zhu was also excited.
"Brother Zhuzi, it's great that you're here. We caught a wild boar yesterday. You have to help with the wedding banquet, haha."
He Lai also felt that Sha Zhu's arrival was too timely. Isn't this like giving away a pillow when one is sleepy?
"Okay, how many tables?" Sha Zhu said indifferently.
"Just help my uncle's family. I don't know how many tables there are. It shouldn't be two or three." He Lai thought for a while.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, brother Zhuzi." Sha Zhu also said with a smile.
He looked at his pocket watch and it was past 9 o'clock.
"Brother Zhuzi, Yushui, let me take you to visit my uncle's house."
"Okay, let's go, the rain is coming."
……
"Mom, why did you come here by yourself? Why didn't you come to see me?" He Lai threw himself into Wu Juan's arms and complained as soon as he entered the room.
"You silly child, you are so old, but you still keep running into your mother's arms. You have no shame in front of so many people." Wu Juan also laughed and scolded He Lai.
Yu Shui also ran to Wu Juan, and Sha Zhu could only stand there stupidly, after all, he didn't know her.
He Lai was bored for a while, then turned to his aunt and said, "Aunt, this is my brother Zhuzi, the chef, he cooks delicious food. He has prepared many wedding banquets. He came here today to help us cook."
"Really? Big brother, is it okay? Our place is a bit simple, please don't mind." When the aunt-in-law heard that he was a chef, she didn't dare to neglect him.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as there are vegetables." Sha Zhu touched his head and said.
"Then I'll accompany Zhuzi to cook, Xiaolaizi, you take care of Yushui." Wu Juan said.
"Then let's go pick up the bride. Yu Shui." He Lai said.
"Well, well, Xiao Laizi, Dahu's wife lives a little far away, so she went there early in the morning and didn't call you. Don't mind it." The aunt was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay." He Lai was embarrassed again.
"Come with mother to the kitchen."
Wu Juan patted He Lai.
There was no choice but for the group to go to the kitchen. Actually, it was not a kitchen, but a simple shed with various dishes on display, with wild boar meat being particularly eye-catching.
The rest is up to the women and Shazhu, while He Lai and Yu Shui just need to be responsible for making the fire.
Watching Sha Zhu's skillful movements, He Lai said to Yu Shui, "Sister Yu Shui, your brother is so handsome when he cooks!"
"Yeah, my brother is the most handsome when he cooks." Yu Shui immediately agreed.
Sha Zhu found this very useful and worked even harder.
"Yu Shui, you have to learn more dishes. Brother Lai is too stupid, so you have to rely on cooking." He Lai looked at Yu Shui and pretended.
"Brother Lai, you are lying. You just don't want to cook. Mom has told me that you are lazy!" Yu Shui didn't buy He Lai's lies.
"Then why don't you just accommodate your brother? Sister Yushui is the best!"
"Okay." Yu Shui said shyly.
……
Three tables of food were ready. He Lai, Sha Zhu and a group of boys sat together and ate happily.
Soon, Uncle He Zhong returned from the auditorium with his son and daughter-in-law.
Da Hu and his wife toasted everyone and then came to He Lai's table.
"Wife, this is my cousin, Xiao Laizi, and this is my wife, Li Xiulan." Dahu introduced.
He Lai also stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, cousin!" He Lai looked at this cousin and seemed to have seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
Da Hu took a drink from the wine, He Lai Ma grabbed it and pulled Sha Zhu.
"Brother Zhuzi, give me a toast."
"Oh, oh, okay, big brother, I wish you a happy wedding on behalf of Xiao Laizi."
Sha Zhu took the wine from the drinker and drank it.
Da Hu and his wife smiled, and they also knew that Sha Zhu was the chef of their neighbor's house in Helai's Sijiu City.
"Well, Brother Zhuzi, I call you that now too. Thank you for hosting the wedding banquet for me. I'll toast you again."
Da Hu personally took the wine jug and filled it up for Sha Zhu again, and the two of them had another drink.
Da Hu and his wife went back to the inner room.
"Brother Zhuzi, how is it? Is it interesting?" He Lai asked Sha Zhu.
"It's okay, it's okay." Sha Zhu ate the food with a smile.
……
After eating, we returned to the courtyard.
"Brother Zhuzi, shall I take you to catch rabbits?" He Lai thought that Sha Zhu and the others would go back at around three or four in the afternoon.
"Okay, but didn't you say it's gone?" Sha Zhu was happy and remembered what He said before.
"Now they're here again. If you don't catch them for a year, a lot of them will pop up." He Lai explained.
"Okay, let's go now. We have nothing to do now." Sha Zhu became motivated when he heard there was a rabbit.
"Wait, I'll go call some people to come along." He Lai planned to call Xiaohu and the others.
"Come on, brother, I'll go with you." Yu Shui echoed.
"Then let's go together and bring your hoe." He Lai took a hoe.
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up, we can catch a few more." Sha Zhu also urged.
……
"Xiao Laizi, you have this ability! That's amazing." Sha Zhu said while looking at the rabbit in his hand.
After hearing He say that he could hear the sounds of animals underground, I was also amazed.
"Hehe, that's awesome, right? Next time I want to eat meat, I can just come to the mountains and catch one." He Lai gave a rabbit in his hand to Yu Shui.
Because we brought a bag, the rabbit was alive. Yu Shui had a lot of fun playing with the rabbit's ears.
"Yu Shui, don't put your hand towards its mouth. Wild rabbits can bite people." He Lai reminded Yu Shui.
"Got it." Yu Shui still stared at the little rabbit.
"He Lai, come on, keep going, keep going, catch more." Sha Zhu was obviously still in high spirits.
In this way, He Lai kept pretending to bend down to listen to the movements on the ground, and several people followed behind He Lai and waited.
