I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 658 655. Our gift

"Husband! We have food at noon! Look, look! Is this... Keer Duck? Oh, it's so cute, it must taste delicious when stewed!"

From a long distance, Xu Xin saw his daughter-in-law walking this way carrying a white thing.

Just when I was wondering what the fuck this father was up to, I heard this sentence.

And maybe it was because the thing in her hand could understand human speech, and when she heard that she was going to stew herself, it fluttered even more in Yang Mi's hands.

Feather flying.

But Yang Mi choked her neck and couldn't move.

And when she walked in, after Xu Xin finally saw the thing in her hand, he covered his face helplessly.

I'm guilty.

Really.

Forefathers and ancestors, you old man must forgive me.

I should have known earlier... She is of this virtue. Back then, I would never let her do a pole dance for me, and she would take my heart away from the child!

He covered his face, his eyes looked through the gap between his fingers, looking at his expectant daughter-in-law, and the words came out of his mouth:

"Did it bark when you caught it just now?"

"what?"

Yang Mi was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously:
"It's screaming, it's so miserable. Don't say it, the little thing is quite powerful, and the voice is loud!"

"...Do you know why it is called so miserable?"

"What?"

"It's telling you: I'm a goose! A goose that hasn't grown up yet!"

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

Looking down at the thing in his hand that was almost out of breath, he asked:
"Are you sure it's goose and not duck? I've already thought about the lunch menu, beer duck with noodles..."

"That's a goose!!! Ancestor!! Goose!!! Also, didn't you go to get fish in the fish pond of Uncle Haifeng's house? Where did your goose come from?"

"I haven't caught any fish, it's cold. I see a group of these ducks at Uncle Haifeng's house..."

"Goose!!!!"

"Goose, goose, goose, goose! Goose go! And then this goose dared to rub against me, so I got up to DEI."

"...I beg you, please, please let it go, okay? We have everything in the refrigerator, you are so merciful, let it go."

Hearing this and seeing her husband's helpless look, Yang Mi slammed her mouth:
"Tsk."

Throwing away the duck or goose thing in his hand, the goose ran faster than Bolt after landing, and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Yang Mi remember:

"Where are Nuannuan and Yangyang?"

Xu Xin, who was already loveless, had no desire to live anymore, so he pointed to the coal shed where the boiler was kept in winter at home.

Yang Mi didn't think much at first, but she walked into the coal shed to take a look...

The daughter and son are all gone.

The one I bought in the city looked like a layer of soot on the left and right layers on the top of the western-style coat... The face is also the same as Nigo, except for the eyes, there is no "white" color in other places.

then……

Xu Xin, who was sitting in the yard baking potatoes, heard a sentence:
"Xu's surname! How did you become a father!!!"

Xu Xinquan pretended not to hear.

Huddled on the pony tie next to the coal stove, sucked the few remaining cigarette butts with a sad face.

Exactly the virtue of a soft-legged man who is being pissed at by his mother-in-law.

He didn't know how he became a father.

He only knew that if he went on like this, he would turn around to see his ancestors without shame.

look up.

Gray day.

"Create a crime..."

……

On January 1th, there is still a week before the wedding.

Xu Daqiang is back.

And when he comes back, it means that the backbone is back, and the family begins to formally enter the wedding process.

The first is to buy gifts.

On the one hand, it is a gift for Yang Mi's family, such as cattle and sheep, lotus root, peanuts and other gifts with symbolic meaning.

Xu Xin didn't need to care about these, they had already been prepared.

Then there's the catch-up method. (Note 1)

In fact, to be honest, Yang Mi didn't know what the method of receiving words meant, but according to Xu Xin, it was a very important part.

The bride and groom should prepare presents from their parents and elders. When Xu Xin picks up the bride and puts on shoes for himself, relatives will also come in.The elders will bring red envelopes and give them to Yang Mi, and Yang Mi will also give the gifts she bought to her relatives to express her filial piety.

At first, Yang Mi was quite worried, wondering how to prepare this kind of gift to express her heart.

But it's actually very simple.

The people in Xujiawan are rich, but in order to prevent comparisons, each household in the village formed a tacit understanding early on.

The most red envelopes given by others is [-], and it is very simple for the bride to return the gift, two boxes.

Whether it's milk, biscuits, instant noodles, small cakes, etc., that's all.

But the box must be a red box, and two boxes of gifts also means that good things come in pairs.

However, there are also some special requirements, that is, to buy coats for the existing elders of Xu Xin's family, the Second Grandpa, the Third Grandpa, and the Fifth Grandpa.

Represents the filial piety and care of the granddaughter-in-law.

After remembering these requirements, Yang Mi quickly sent Sun Ting back to Yanjing, and temporarily refused to let her come back.

She remotely checked what was missing at home and brought it back together.

Then there is the car.

Cars are more difficult.

The opinions of the family members are not very unified.

According to Xu Daqiang, there are 20 Rolls-Royces, and the main wedding car is a red Ferrari, which looks festive.

Xu Xin hated it, and felt that the wedding car was a Rolls-Royce, and the other cars... could be replaced by a big Benz.Rolls-Royce alone is not good-looking.

According to his idea, it looks more coordinated.

What about Yang Mi...

She wants to take a sedan chair...

The original plan was to pick up the bride in the hotel opened by Xu Daqiang in the county.

But the problem is that the county is about ten kilometers away from Xujiawan, and sitting in a sedan chair is exhausting.

If you want to take a sedan chair, you have to find a house in the village.

But then there would be no need for a convoy...

The couple exchanged a few words because of this matter.

After all, Xu Xin promised his wife to take a bridal sedan chair, and asked the bearer to bump her like in "Red Sorghum".

In the end, Xu Daqiang asked the elders in the village, and he was sure that as long as the bride's feet were not touching the ground, it would not be considered a turning back, so he decided to pick him up from the city by car. process.

Both Xu Daqiang and Yang Mi were satisfied, but Xu Xin's proposal of "Rolls Royce with a big Ben" was directly ignored.

The last thing is to try the dishes.

Not to mention the eight steamed bowls, and not to mention the mutton noodles that I ate in the morning.

For the dinner at noon alone, Xu Daqiang invited four groups of people.

Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shaanxi cuisine.

They were all drawn from restaurants and hotels he knew friends.

These chef teams will be busy here until the end of the big episode.

It is a table of 36 dishes, two specifications in the market and in the village.

There are 36 tables in the village, and there are 16 dishes for the feast at the big fair.

But the specifications are not too far apart. Not to mention anything else, even the dishes that everyone is invited to eat at the market have lobsters. Just think about the level of this banquet.

Lobsters are shipped directly from Baotou.

Last year, the seafood transport train from Baotou to Qingdao was opened, and seafood can be said to be inexhaustible.

The set is 36 dishes, but the question is how to choose.

From meaning, to taste, to whether it looks good or not...

When Xu Xin saw the battle, he originally wanted to call Ren Changzhen and ask them to take pictures of the food at the rural banquet in northern Shaanxi, but as soon as the battle was revealed, he knew...don't think about it.

You just have to call people over for a wedding banquet.

If these clips are actually filmed in a documentary, he will be scolded to death.

This is no longer a luxury, but a pure waste.

A table of ten people, 36 dishes.

It costs a lot of money to pack plastic bags.

He also gave feedback to Xu Daqiang, don't be so extravagant... But Xu Daqiang said that on this day, it must be done.

Because when Xu Miao got married, she looked somewhat "shabby".

It's not that there is no money, but that at the juncture of his and Zhang Qian's marriage, the father-in-law's family is experiencing a small "contradiction" in personnel appointments. Everyone must clean up and keep themselves clean, so that no one can get caught.

Therefore, the elder son's regrets must be fulfilled at the second son's wedding banquet.

Not to mention...it's double happiness.

With the general framework of the wedding, the next step is some details.

Everyone brainstorms.

For example, Yang Mi, after she saw a truckload of Moutai brought over by her family for the banquet on the 15th, she thought about it and made a suggestion.

Do we have to say hello to the driver company?

The big set is the first four and the last three, tobacco and alcohol pipe ditch, in case someone drives here and is still greedy, something goes wrong... It will be hard to say at that time.

Xu Daqiang thought it made sense, so he made a few phone calls.

The first thing is to let Shenmu's surrogate drivers go on a business trip for 7 days from the day the market opens.Those who drive over to eat and join in the fun will be sent home for free.

Open your mouth and ask for 100 people.

Shenmu's agent driving business is actually mediocre, most of them are part-timers, and there are not so many full-timers.

very?
Not so many people?
Then call.

Shenmu, Fugu... It's really not good, I transferred from Yulin, anyway, there is a hotel at home, so what are you afraid of?
Live for free, eat and drink for free, and pay wages.

The second call is to a friend.

Just at the intersection of both sides of the Xujiawan market, check for drunk driving.

Permanent 7 days.

No one is given a chance to exceed the law at all.

As long as you drink and want to leave the market in Xujiawan, you have to ask a free driver to pick you up.

Safety first.

Of course, everyone has worked so hard, and they definitely don't go to work for nothing. Whether it's red envelopes, food or drink, it's not a bribe, but a kindness for a happy event.

While the family was brainstorming, the movement in the village did not stop.

In fact, speaking logically, Xu Daqiang's wedding this time can be said to be unique in scale in Xujiawan.

People who have lived in the countryside actually know a truth, that is, if you want to show off, you must convince everyone.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how rich you are, the most important thing to do in your own baby's wedding is to work hard on food and drinks, too extravagant and wasteful will not be allowed.Because it is easy to cause discord among relatives.

Your child is so good at doing things, it compares us all... It's easy to be envied and hated.

Therefore, what kind of wedding banquet and what specifications are actually decided by the people in the village.

But Xu Xin was the only exception.

Because he's... so honorable.

Olympic torch, director Ouchi, various records in the director circle, etc...

This child is not only a child of Xujiawan, but also a well-known figure in the whole country.

It can be said that the existence of Xu Xin made Xu Jiawan proud.

And with such a promising child born in my own family, the specifications must be different from normal times.

Therefore, when Xu Daqiang wanted to hang lanterns from the ancestral hall all the way to the entrance of the village, no one in the village objected.

On the same day, a cart of bamboo poles used to hang red lanterns was pulled into the village.

Workers began digging holes and inserting poles to hang lanterns on both sides of the road in the village.

That momentum...

It even made Yang Mi feel ashamed of "what can I do".

And this fanfare naturally attracted media reporters.

Everyone knew that Yang Mi and Xu Xin were going to get married. In order to get first-hand information, countless reporters came to this remote county in northern Shaanxi.

Trying to report some pre-marital preparation news.

So, starting on the 9th, various photos of Xu Xin and Yang Mi's wedding scene were circulated on the Internet.

[Click directly on Xu Xin and Yang Mi's wedding scene preparation map]

This kind of news emerges endlessly.

Through the descriptions of the reporters, netizens also learned about the couple's wedding process.

It's not a five-star luxury hotel, or going abroad to get married... The couple chose the most down-to-earth way.

Rural seats...

But when they saw that the wedding of the two people turned out to be a big banquet in the countryside, many people's first reaction was "too perfunctory".

No way, the times make it.

People who have lived in the countryside want to squeeze into the city.

The cognition that rural banquets are "not up-to-date" has almost become a stereotyped impression.

Even some rural banquets are not popular now, but they all choose to go to restaurants in the city.

This is not alone.

And the two of you actually acted in the opposite direction?

Xu Xin, you are so kind to Yang Mi, why do you have the nerve to do this?
For a while, there was a little disturbance on the Internet for no reason.

But the couple just laughed about this kind of thing.

The grade of the rural seats is low?
She's not married yet, and she's already spent more than 500 million on cigarettes, wine, and vegetables...Low-grade?

Then she really wants to know... what is high-end.

So, never mind.

Say what you like.

Even, the more people think the lower the grade, the better.

The last thing she wants now is for people to dig out the exact cost of the wedding.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the ring she was going to exchange with Xu Xin that day.

The pink diamond photographed in Xiangjiang that year.

Eighty-seven million.

She only wore it for a few days, and then threw it in the safe after she felt it was too ostentatious.

Then talk about the dowry.

On the day the two received their marriage certificates and returned to China, Xu Daqiang said that the bride price was over [-] million.

Yang Dalin was so frightened that he didn't gag his father-in-law's mouth with steamed buns.

Life and death do not agree.

In the end, after much discussion and discussion, the bride price was finally set at the number 4747.

April 4th was the day after the Ching Ming Festival in 7.

It is also the anniversary of the couple's love.

It was that night that Xu Xin did something that made him regret, annoyed, and embarrassing, and it became a pain that could never be erased (black history).

He turned off the wrong light.

Yang Mi came up ahead of him.

Therefore, the bride price is 700 million.

Reasonable and reasonable, Yang Dalin couldn't say anything.

And this is just the gift money.

What about other dowries?

Xi'an has more than 6000 square meters and was used by several brothers as a KTV building.

The three-story office building in Shuangwei's headquarters is a nearly [-]-square-meter theater used by Shanghai Magic City for "Happy Twist".

The property right of one of the Siheyuan in Shijia Hutong.

Yang Mi didn't even dare to count.

I was afraid that after calculating the value of these betrothal gifts, I would have a heart attack.

I said in my heart how much my husband owed me in my previous life, and I want to "repay" myself like this in this life...

Do evil.

Therefore, she, who deeply understands what it means to have stuffed buns that are not on the folds, chooses to ignore and ignore all these rumors on the Internet.

It's not that I'm too lazy to refute, it's because... I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, I will scare you to death...

But it turns out that she still underestimated the wedding.

Because, a small accident happened.

On the 11th day.

Without Xu Xin and Yang Mi's knowledge, all the street light advertisements in Shenmu County were replaced overnight.

Replaced with a poster.

On the poster, Jay Chou was wearing the H-Huntsman best man dress, standing next to Lang Lang who was playing the piano, holding a microphone and seemed to be singing.

He sings and plays the piano loudly.

Under the busts of the two, there are portraits of Nanquan mother, Guo Caijie, Deng Ziqi, Yang Ruidai and others.

Then, the second half of the poster is three lines:
"Jay Chou, Lang Lang--"White Windmill" Ensemble Concert
January 2011, 1, best wishes!

Ah Xin, Mi Mi, please be happy. "

At the bottom of the three lines are the last two lines of small characters:
Ticket collection: Shenmu County Stadium ticket window (free of charge)

My treat! ——by Wang Sicong

One stone can stir up a thousand waves.

……

"I'll accompany you to the end, can you not look back!"

"Hold me tight!"

"Say you don't need to promise~"

Overnight, this advertisement spread all over the streets and alleys of Shenmu.

And at this moment, in the Shenmu County Stadium, Jay Chou was standing opposite the stage that had already been built, listening to his own songs.

After listening for a while, he raised the walkie-talkie:
"OKOK, it's not bad, it's not bad. The speakers work well!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Lang Lang who was wearing lambskin gloves and a down jacket:

"what do you think?"

"It's really good... Do you think this is an unintentional intervention? Who would have thought that the old Xu's upgraded speaker kit for the LED screen effect of the Olympics would be used for a concert now."

Lang Lang looked at the land under his feet that had been restored into a football field with a half-smile, his tone full of emotion.

"What I'm most worried about is the effect of the speakers, but I'm dumbfounded to see that there are professional-level JBL VTXs in those corners."

Hearing this, Jay Chou smiled and said:

"These are the equipment he bought himself, and I introduced him to him. That's why I refused to sing in the gymnasium."

While talking, he pointed to the largest indoor stadium in the county level of SX province just behind the stands of the stadium, which was just completed in October this year.

"Originally, the people here want me to sing there. But there are too few places. I hope to gather more people to bless Ah Xin's wedding. Although the weather is colder...but I am confident that I will detonate this place !"

"Ha~"

Hearing this, Lang Lang couldn't help laughing:

"I really want to see Lao Xu's expression right now. When I called last night, I lied to him, saying that I have a performance here and I won't be back until the 14th!"

"Hahahaha, eh, me too, he asked me when I could come, and I said it might not be until the 14th. He also said that if I dare to delay his wedding, I will die, hahahahaha!"

The two were laughing, and Wang Sicong, who was also wearing a black down jacket, walked over quickly:
"Okay, stop having fun. Do you know how much it took me to build a stage for you?"

"Hahaha~"

Jay Chou smiled and gave Wang Sicong a thumbs up:
"Hey, the stage is awesome. It's just a bit small..."

"No way. On the one hand, it is for more people to sit here. After all, I have a hunch that there will be many people coming. On the other hand, don't you give those two screens a place? You have to reserve a seat..."

Wang Sicong pointed to the two double-sided screens behind him.

The old stadium that Xu Xin used for the rehearsal of the Olympic Games LED screen is not the layout of a football field in the traditional sense. .

The other directions are surrounded by iron fences.

From the outside you can see the inside.

In Wang Sicong's expectation, the tickets are free, so there must be a lot of people coming.

But there must be someone who can't get in.

The reason why he took the time to get the approval document was because he wanted everyone to see the concert.Therefore, while reporting to various departments, he is also temporarily applying for a place to place the electronic screen.

The stage is placed in the southwest corner of the stadium, while the screen is a double-layered screen.

One layer faces inward, and the other layer faces outward.

The purpose is to allow outsiders to see the concert, so that there will be no danger of overturning, stampede and the like.

At the same time, on the Yingbin Square next door, he also erected four temporary LED screens, all of which were of the limit size under non-ground-breaking construction.

It is very convenient to remove it directly when the concert is over.

Like he said, he did his best.

And the purpose of the three is to give friends a perfect wedding gift.

As for the cost...

The young master didn't say anything.

Anyway, it was his treat.

And his words earned the two of them nods.

Then, Wang Sicong said:

"Let's go, Xu Yang called me just now, saying that there is a traffic jam here... They are all here to collect tickets. Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get stuck... I will leave the other things to you Someone from the company."

For this concert, Jay Chou brought all the people who are in charge of the concert from Jewel.

We have cooperated in so many concerts, we are familiar with each other, we have a tacit understanding, so we naturally know what to do.

So, the three of them set off together and quickly retreated.

While retreating, I happened to pass by several mobile prefabricated houses on the square.

That's a temporary ticket window.

In addition, iron fences are used to surround the queuing channel near the color board room.

Both sides of the queuing channel are the ticket purchase rules this time.

Bring your ID card to buy tickets, the seats are completely random, if you are lucky, you will be a VIP, if you are not lucky, you will have to stand aside.

The stadium is expected to hold around 3000 people in total.

As for the welcome square outside, and how many people can be on the road...it's hard to say.

When the three of them left by car, they saw Xu Zhi and Xu Yang holding up their horns to maintain order, and at least a hundred people had gathered around the color board houses.

For this surprise, the groomsmen have been preparing for a long time without telling the couple.

Everything is to give friends, the world, relatives and friends, and even those who know or don't know the name of the friend, an unforgettable happy day!

For this reason, Jay Chou even gave up the copyright of this concert.

After recording, editing, and sound correction, it will be authorized to major online broadcast platforms.

Want to see?

Casual look!
This is our gift for our best friend!
Please witness together!
(Note 1: During the years I stayed in Shenmu, the most regrettable thing is that I didn’t participate in rural weddings. I went to a lot of weddings in hotels. And it’s basically the same as other places... So, I’m checking the information here , I can only get close to it as much as possible, but some specific customs, reasons or omissions are really beyond our capabilities, please forgive me, if there are mistakes, please laugh them away.)
