Boss Wu and Mrs. Wu also went to Lejia after the workers got off work. When they arrived, the handsome guys had just placed the charcoal pots and were still burning charcoal.
Liu Lu and others returned home a little late from the construction site. After taking a shower, they went to Lejia with their mother-in-law who went home to feed the pigs, ducks and chickens. Chen Dalian also brought his two children.
Zhou Tianqing’s siblings went to Lejia Gang to work as errand boys in the middle of the afternoon.

Men, women, old and youngSit together by yourself, grill by yourself, and grill whatever you want.
In the evening, we mainly eat barbecue. If you feel that just eating barbecue is not enough, you can eat some bread and steamed buns together.
It was the first time for the old and young men to have a family gathering-style barbecue. It was very enthusiastic and the scene was in full swing. When the meat was roasting, the smell spread far and wide, and could be heard all over the village, even across the street. Smelling it makes people salivate.

The Zhou family felt that it was too urgent to choose the third day of the lunar month to arrange the wedding, and the seventh day of the lunar month was more suitable. What they meant was that they wanted to have a formal meal on the third day of the lunar month, which is to say it was officially decided, and it would be held on the seventh day of the lunar month. happy event.
Granny Cao had no objection and asked the girl Chunxiu.
Ms. Li made a mosquito groaning sound: "Isn't this too fast? I'm afraid that I... won't be as good as you think... won't you investigate more?"
< br />"Lele's vision is unmistakable. Lele said you will be a good wife, so you must be good. One day you do something wrong, we elders and Granny Cao will discuss how to tear you apart. Come straight here."
Grandma Zhou Man said cheerfully: "Just feel free to marry Xia Long, we will also keep an eye on your two girls. If the two cubs show signs of being crooked, call them Lele comes to cut, Lele takes action, she has to cut the person straight."
"We will be in a hurry, but also because Lele wants to drink her Uncle Zhou's wedding wine, Lele expects to be the best. We will go to the capital on the 21st, so we hope you get married as soon as possible. As long as you two don't hate each other, get married first and then get to know each other slowly. No one between a husband and wife understands each other thoroughly on the first day. It takes time to get used to each other."
Village Chief Zhou also explained the reason for urging the two to get married. If they didn't want to ask Lele to be a witness, they wouldn't be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if they wait three or two months.
Ms. Li’s face burned up, she glanced at Zhou Xialong and nodded:"I have nothing to do. It just depends on whether my mother and my eldest daughter have any objections."
"I have no objections," Cao Qingyue raised her hand in agreement: "If my mother marries another family, I will definitely worry about the husband. Will you treat my mother well? If you marry Uncle Zhou, I have no objection."
Granny Cao was filled with joy. She picked up her daughter and gave her a son-in-law. She will return home in a hundred years. When she went out, her son-in-law held a sign and held a flag to pay her respects. What else could she say?
The woman’s family had no objections. Several elders of the Zhou family happily discussed the details of the ceremony with Granny Cao. As for Zhou Xialong’s opinion, well, it doesn’t matter anymore. He still dares to have an opinion now and cut him off!
Several adults discussed it until nearly eleven o'clock. Village Chief Zhou and others went home, and the Cao family of four stayed at the Zhou family again.
