Chapter 2186 double happiness
Old Yang nodded, took a puff of dry cigarette habitually, and blew out the smoke ring.
Then he glanced at the children and grandchildren on the table, smiled and spoke.
"What I'm going to talk about tonight is a happy event, a big happy event for our old Yang family," he said.
"The eldest grandson of our old Yang family, Yongxian, is getting married."
"And Yongzhi is also getting married. These two happy events come together. It's really a double happiness!"
Hearing what Lao Yangtou said, everyone else at the table also nodded. It was indeed a double happiness!
Old Yangtou continued: "Well, the main thing I want to talk about tonight is this year's festival and the wedding."
"Today, it's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. This year, it's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the New Year."
"This is a full plan. There are only twenty-one days left."
"On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, we receive our ancestors. We often hold happy events after we receive our ancestors, so this wedding must be done before the twenty-fourth day."
"It's the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I spent these two days buying things, leaving fourteen days in between to prepare for two weddings."
"Oh, time is running out, so I came to see you tonight. The main purpose is to discuss the specific date for planning the wedding for this New Year's gift box!"
"Everyone, let's talk about whatever comes to mind. Don't always let me say it alone!" After saying this, Lao Yangtou cast an encouraging look at everyone around the table.
Then he picked up the dry cigarette again and started smoking.
Yang Huazhong looked around and said: "I am the oldest in this generation. Let me say a few words first."
"Yongxian is the eldest, Yongzhi is the third child, Yongxian is the first marriage, and Yongzhi is the second wife."
"Before, although there was a slight difference in terms of age and time, but,"
"Yongxian and Yongzhi, they have separated."
"In other words, they are now two different small families, and they are going to have a happy event,"
"We uncles can't take care of everything. We help to take care of it."
"We have to do this according to their own wishes,"
"Yongxian and Yongzhi are very sensible. The two brothers each spent six taels of silver to prepare for the wedding, and asked us elders to plan the wedding according to this standard."
"So, as elders, we don't have to distinguish whether the oldest one is more grand and the third one is more casual."
"We all follow the standard of six taels of silver and arrange marriages equally, what do you think?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Huaming said: "I think what the third brother said is feasible. Both of them are my nephews. In the eyes of my fourth uncle, they are all equally close regardless of their age."
"The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the two of them paid for their marriage out of their own pockets,"
"Don't ask elders like us to pay a penny, be responsible,"
"In that case, let's just work hard and help with the arrangements." Yang Huazhong said.
Old Yang nodded, his eyes falling on Yang Ruoqing, "Qing'er, what do you think about this?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what I think. The main thing is to see what big brother thinks."
Her eyes fell on Yang Yongxian, "Brother, you are one of the parties involved in this happy event, why don't you say a few words?"
Yang Yongxian was a little embarrassed, and his fair face was stained with a hint of red.
He coughed slightly and said, "As long as I can follow the custom and marry Li Xiu smoothly, I will be satisfied."
It has been two or three years since my father passed away, and my mother is still like that.
The father should take the lead in organizing the marriage of his children.
Now I have no father, no mother, and I am young and don’t understand this.
Yang Yongxian felt very grateful to have his father and uncles take care of it.
"Whatever I and my uncles think is good, I'm going to start a family myself. I'm happy."
"The third brother is also getting married again, and I am happy for the third brother."
"Originally, I was the eldest brother. Now that my father is gone, the eldest brother is like his father. I have to worry about the third brother's marriage."
"But I am too young, and my cow's tail has not even covered the cow's butt. I can only say that I am ashamed. Let me and my uncles make up their minds!" he said again.
Hearing Yang Yongxian's words, Old Yangtou was quite pleased.
"Yongxian, I'm really pleased that you can think so," the old man said.
"I have no other wish in my life. I just hope that our old Yang family can live in harmony, with brothers, friends, and brothers supporting each other," he said.
"If you mean this, then Yongjin and Yongzhi must mean the same thing. The men of our old Yang family are all good men who stand upright!"
After Lao Yang praised Yang Yongxian's brothers one by one, he then asked everyone: "Look, when is the festival set for this year?"
Yang Huazhong said: "We have to find the goddess to find an auspicious day."
Old Yangtou said, "It takes one day to send out New Year gifts, and another day to get married. For two brothers, the total is four days."
"But within the fourteen days of this year, it is a bit difficult to find four auspicious days..." Old Yangtou said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "How about this."
"How's it going? Qing'er, tell me." Old Yangtou quickly cast his eyes on Yang Ruoqing and said.
Yang Ruoqing cleared her throat, glanced at everyone, and said, "Time is so tight during the year. Not only are we, the old Yang family, busy with weddings, we are also busy with New Year matters."
"Especially the family business, the fish pond, and the pig farm over there at Ga Gong's house butchering pigs..."
"There are a lot of things, so every day during the year is very busy."
"Instead of letting everyone organize the wedding and wedding banquet in two groups, we might as well let the eldest brother and third brother's wedding be organized together and arranged on the same day." She said.
"ah?"
"What?"
Old Yang and others were all surprised.
Everyone had different expressions, and they were all lost in their own thoughts.
After a while, Yang Huaming was the first to express his position: "I agree with Qing'er's suggestion. We can really get together and have a good time."
Old Yangtou said: "It's a good idea. We saved time, and everyone who came to help also saved time."
"It's just that when it comes to relatives and friends, they have to send double gifts. As for us, we have also saved half of the cost of the banquet, but they still can only have one banquet."
"I'm not happy about it. Isn't this a losing business?" Old Yangtou said.
Yang Huazhong nodded, it was indeed the case.
The corners of Yang Ruoqing's lips raised and she smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's make up for the relatives and friends who came to congratulate us and gave us double gifts."
"What compensation do you need?" Old Yangtou asked.
