Chapter 959 Wedding Date
When Han Li came back from the bathhouse, his father and mother had already prepared dinner and were waiting for him.

"Son, when did you come back? Did everything go well on the way?"

"Are you going to take a bath? Have you found a bath attendant?"

"Mom, I got home around 3pm. Everything went well. I took a bath right after I got home. Dad, the bathhouse's bath scrubber and pedicure masters were really good. I felt so comfortable after they scrubbed me."

Mother Han grabbed her son's arm and looked around before letting go and speaking with relief.

"I'm glad you're alright. You can chat with your dad first. I'll go stir-fry the noodles and we'll have dinner."

"Mom, the marinated duck and poached chicken I brought back from Shanghai have been out of the pot for two or three days. We have to eat them quickly, otherwise they will go bad."

"Really? If I had known, I would have cooked less snacks for you two."

While talking to his father in the house, Han Li took out the Qibao Daqu and Shanghai Tequ he brought back from Shanghai, and introduced the situation of these two kinds of wine in Shanghai.

While the father and son were chatting, Han's mother had already heated up the dishes. The noodles would be cooked when it was time to eat, so everyone went to the kitchen together to bring back the dishes.

Braised egg, cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, stir-fried red and white tofu with green onions, stewed chicken with potatoes, fried peanuts, as well as ready-made dried cuttlefish, dried herring, and dried squid, and finally the pickled duck and poached chicken that Han Li brought back from Shanghai.

Han Li looked at the table full of dishes and started to flatter his mother.

"My mother loves me. What she made today are all my favorite foods."

"You just keep talking nonsense. Eat quickly or the food will get cold soon. What do you mean I will cook the noodles after you two stop drinking?"

At the dinner table, Han Li and Han's father were the main drinkers. There was no need for drinking games or persuasion between the two of them. They just raised their glasses and clinked glasses while talking. Han's mother also drank a little beside them, but only three or two glasses.

While drinking, Han's mother first briefly talked about their meeting with Yun Shixian and Fang Yuemei, the two in-laws. Although Han Li had known that this day would come, he did not expect that his parents would be so anxious.

But what Han's father and mother said makes sense. There are many things you can't buy just because you want to. Not to mention how hard it is to get tickets for good things like televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines, the key is that even if you have a ticket you may not be able to buy it right away. It depends on whether the store has the stock. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to buy what you want even if you hold the ticket for ten days or half a month.

Finally, Dad Han stood up, took out a piece of paper from the notebook in the drawer, put it on the table and said.

"This is a good date that your mother and I asked someone to find. We know that you have a tight schedule for school, so we asked someone to pick the last day of the year based on your and Yingying's birth dates. Take a look at it, estimate what's going on at school, and then decide on that day."

Han Li picked up the paper and saw that there were three good dates for marriage and engagement written on it.

The first date is, Wuwu year, Yichou month, Jimao day, January 12, the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Friday.

The second date is, Wuwu year, Yichou month, Xinsi day, January 14th, the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, Sunday.

The third date is the fifteenth day of the Wuwu year, the Yichou month, and the Renwu day, which is the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a Monday.

These were all good dates for finding someone to look at, and Han Li really didn't care which day it was set on. But things couldn't be done this way, he had to consider his own situation first.

Junior high school and high school classmates, college classmates, neighbors, and childhood friends are all easy to deal with. When the time comes, just ask a wedding planner to set up a tent, build a stove, and arrange the banquet in the alley.

But what about Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan, and Mr. Song? We can't let them squeeze into the alley, right?
In fact, if they were allowed to come and squeeze in with the neighbors, they would probably be happy to join in the fun.

But no accidents must happen during this period. I dare not say (write) about big accidents, but Han Li cannot take the responsibility for minor bumps and bruises.

Moreover, if Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan and other old men were recognized by neighbors and classmates, Han Li would probably be in trouble in the future that he could not get rid of or push away.

Han Li felt a little scalp tingling when he thought about that situation, but he still had to see how his parents arranged this matter, so he put down the paper in his hand and said.

"Dad, Mom, these few days seem to be going well for me, but do you have any plans for the wedding process and the wedding banquet?"

Han Li's father and mother had already made preliminary plans for this problem. After listening to Han Li's mother, she immediately spoke.

"The courtyard near Beihaizi has been tidied up by our family, and our in-laws have also prepared all the furniture. You must live there when you get married.

But there are not many neighbors over there, and we are not familiar with them, so on your wedding day, the wedding reception, the getting off the sedan chair, and the banquet will all be held in Mianhua Hutong. There will be many people, it will be lively, and it will be easier to handle.

At night, I'll ask a few people from Quanfu to help you sweep the bed and fold the quilt, and then you and Yingying can just rest there."

After Han's mother finished explaining the wedding process, Han's father picked up a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp and said.

"Now is not the time to hide things like in previous years. Your mother and I only have you as our son. You are also the most promising child in Mianhua Hutong and even in the entire West City. We must make the wedding a grand one.

Therefore, your mother and I plan to invite the most famous chef Liang in the area to our wedding banquet. He is clean, has good cooking skills, and can serve dishes quickly. His apprentices are all neat and tidy.

It can be said that the apprentices brought up by "Chef Liang" are the most famous chefs in Xicheng. No matter whether it is setting up the stove, building the shed, selecting ingredients, purchasing, processing, making, cooking or finishing, basically few people can find fault with them.

Most people who invite "Chef Liang" to cook for them have already made their reservations in summer or autumn.

But your mother works in the neighborhood office, so she has some face to hire someone temporarily. She has already informed the cook Liang a few days ago, and we can just let him know when we set a date.

Our family will prepare the banquet at the highest level in the neighborhood. You are our only son, so it doesn’t matter how much money we spend, but we must earn enough face in front of the neighbors.”

Han Li had nothing to say about his parents' arrangements for the neighborhood, mainly because he didn't understand the twists and turns involved. He knew about the cooking profession, but he didn't know which one was the best.

However, Han's father and mother obviously did not take the matter of Old Liu and the others into consideration. In this regard, Han Li could only tell his parents what he had just considered.

"This is really a troublesome matter, what should we do?"
