Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 977 Marriage (Part )

A car came into Mianhua Alley, and a group of people unloaded a lot of things from it.

Soon, a brand new army green tent was set up on the open space west of the Han family. This place would not delay anyone's work, and it would be fine to keep the tent here until Han Li got married and then put it away.

There were two smokeless stoves and some chopped firewood and coal in the tent. In fact, Hou Huidong could get the big iron pot and the coal briquette stove with just a phone call, but he did not try to steal the limelight from Tong Shaoxin.

After the soldiers unloaded the car, they were going to help set up the tents, but Han Li scattered some smoke and let them go first.

Afterwards, Han Li led a group of people to set up the tent in a hurry. Some people were looking for stones to press down the corners of the tent, and some people moved the smokeless stove to the middle to make a fire.

Tong Shaoxin came on a tricycle with four large coal stoves, a large iron pot with twelve seals, a matching iron sheet and steel bars welded into a stove frame, and a steamer with seven or eight grids.

The coal stove was placed inside the tent, and the rack used to support the large iron pot with twelve seals was unloaded directly into the yard and placed directly in the corner of the wall. After cleaning the pot and lighting the fire, it would be put into use directly.

After finishing his work, Han Li looked at his watch and asked Qi Zhaodi and the others to start preparing lunch.

However, at this time Han Li thought of a very serious problem, that is, there were nearly thirty people in total, and they didn't even have tables and chairs for dinner.

Under normal circumstances, when getting married, people would borrow the vegetables from the neighbors for two days, and then send them back in the afternoon or evening on the wedding day with some "Zheluocai".

But there is still a week before Han Li's wedding, and it would be inappropriate to borrow tables and chairs from neighbors at this time.

Because everything was lacking in that era and living space was small, it was considered good if there was an octagonal table for entertaining guests and a small table for family meals. There were very few families with two octagonal tables.

Even those kitchens that specialize in preparing wedding banquets for neighbors only provide tents and kitchen peripherals in this era. Things like tables and chairs are not provided by kitchens nowadays.

If Han Li goes to borrow tables and chairs from his neighbors now, what will they use for a week?
Send it back every day? Regardless of whether it is troublesome or not, even if it is the same thing, if you borrow it for a week, you will lose the favor. Thinking of this, Han Li looked at Tong Shaoxin and asked.

"Brother Tong, can we borrow a few tables, chairs and benches from the school? Otherwise, we will have to squat on the floor with our bowls in hand to eat lunch. It would be fine if we were all grown men, but we have Zhong Xin, Xiao Ling, Li Ru, Hai Jiao and other young girls. It's not appropriate to let them squat on the floor with our bowls in hand to eat."

"There are plenty of tables and chairs in the school, but they are all desks, not round tables for entertaining guests."

"It's okay. If we pull the two tables back together, we can make an eight-person table."

So Han Li took the other boys and followed Tong Shaoxin to the sports school to pull tables and chairs. Some girls went to help the Han sisters cook, while others went to clean the tent after lighting the stove.

After a long time, the tricycle that Tong Shaoxin rode appeared in Mianhua Hutong again. Eight desks and several benches were stacked high on the tricycle. The remaining benches that could not be put on were carried back on the shoulders of others.

Qi Zhaodi was waving a small iron shovel in the yard, stirring the cabbage, frozen tofu, vermicelli and meat in the big iron pot. After stirring for a while and seeing that the cabbage had released enough water, she called on others to carry the steamer filled with steamed buns and put it in.

Han Li smelled the aroma of stew as soon as he reached the door of his house. Everyone was already hungry after working all morning, and now they smelled the aroma and unloaded the car and put the table together much faster.

It wasn't very warm in the tent because there were four coal stoves burning, but it was definitely much better than being on the street.

After everything was done, Han Li asked everyone to wash their hands and eat. The girls took their bowls and went inside to eat. Han Li took the men to eat in the tent outside with their bowls and steamed buns.

Li Guanghui spoke unclearly while eating the food which was still a little hot.

"Brother Han, this big pot of food is really delicious."

Zhang Hailin: "This was made by Brother Han's godsister. How could it be bad? She is the only female apprentice accepted by Master Wang of Fengze Garden."

"Master Wang's apprentice? Let alone the dishes cooked by Master Wang himself, it's hard to make an appointment with his apprentices who have already graduated."

"This means that Brother Han will be in for a treat in the future. I will definitely come here more often to eat."

“So do we.”

When Han Li heard them say this, he thought to himself that it would be strange if the dish was not delicious. In addition to Qi Zhaodi's current cooking skills, one of the reasons was that they had been busy for the whole morning and only had a cup of tea, and their stomachs had already started to protest.

The other Han Li just asked Qi Zhaodi to put as much meat as possible into the pot. With too much meat, the tofu and cabbage were stewed with flavor. If there wasn't so much meat, even if two pounds of MSG were added, it would not be so delicious.

But these are all opportunities for Qi Zhaodi in the future, so Han Li has to grab them for her. He put down his chopsticks and said to them with a smile.

"Okay, everyone come when the time comes. Brother Tong has already started working, so he can come anytime. As for the rest of you before you start working, we won't be accepting you unless it's Sunday or a holiday."

"No way"

Everyone finished their lunch chatting and laughing, and the girls were naturally responsible for washing the dishes.

After they played cards for a while in the tent, Han Li began to direct them to work, otherwise it would be a shame for them to work under the banner of helping him.

What? Cleaning the area from Han Li's door to the entrance of the alley.

Not only do you need to sweep the road, you also need to scratch the dirty spots on the walls.

The girls cleaned every corner of the house carefully, and He Mi and the others even pulled out the washing machine to do some washing.

Where was Han Li? He went to the street to buy some wires, lamp sockets, and light bulbs, and brought two electric lamps from home into the tent.

In the evening, after get off work, Yu Daqiang and several of Han Li's childhood friends got off work and joined the cleaning team with brooms.

Dinner was still a big pot of food, but this time Han Li quietly took out a 200-pound sea fish from the decomposition space and asked Qi Zhaodi to stew a big pot of fish meat with the fish, and also fried a few side dishes.
During the meal, there was a large bowl of fish and some side dishes on each table, which were eaten and drunk in no time.

From that day on, Han Li's house was constantly visited by people. Zhang Hailin and his friends would come and stay for at least an hour every day, and of course, there were also his junior fellow apprentices.

Time passed day by day in a lively atmosphere, and soon it was January 10, the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
