Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 985: Thank You for Your Makeup
The shouts of Shu Yongjie, Mai Zhijun and others made the people who were waiting to receive the dowry and the in-laws come forward with cigarettes in hand, while some young people just waited on the side to unload the truck and carry the things.

At the same time, the people in the kitchen started to get busy. Although today was not a wedding day, sending a dowry was a big event for the city. According to the rules, both cold and hot dishes should be served to entertain the other party, but the number of dishes would be two less than tomorrow's main meal.

This is much better than it was six years ago, when the entire wedding lasted only one day, or rather one meal, and it was just a big pot of food and mixed-flour steamed buns.

Han Li didn't need to do anything for these things. He just needed to stay in the room and continue chatting with his master, Principal Wen, and the leaders of the street office and the bus company.

After my brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng and his friends parked the car, they took the cigarettes from the person in charge of welcoming guests. Everyone smoked and chatted on the side, watching the young men carry the dowry down from the car.

These things will be placed outside for the neighbors to see for a while before they are moved into the house.

Today's items are all big ones, and the smaller items will be brought along with the bride on the wedding day tomorrow. At this time, the onlookers let out bursts of exclamations.

Neighbor A: "TV, this is a TV."

Neighbor B: "We saw it. It looks like the box is bigger than the one that the old Jin family in our alley gave as a gift to their daughter."

Neighbor C: “And a tape recorder.”

Neighbor Ding: "A tape recorder is a rare item. Is this the first tape recorder in our alley?"

Neighbor E: "A tape recorder? This thing doesn't have many tapes. I think it's even less useful than a radio."

"Electric fan"

Auntie A: "Is this a washing machine?"

Aunt B: "There's actually a washing machine? Isn't it said that this thing can't wash clothes clean? The in-laws of the old Han family are a little confused. Isn't it better to give this money to their daughter as a deposit?"

Auntie C: "You can't wash clothes? Then you can't wash diapers? Won't the old Han family use them when they have a grandson next year?"

Auntie Ding: "You are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. If someone can give a washing machine to his daughter, how can there be less stuff in the bottom of the box?"

Aunt Wu: "Didn't you notice the bedding? I counted it and it seems there are twelve sets."

Aunt Geng: "Wow, the Han family's in-laws are really open-minded. Now all the grandchildren have bedding to use."

Young man A: "What's in this small box, and why is it placed in the highest place?"

Young man B: "My sister-in-law Han even gave me a camera as a gift."

Young man C: "What? Camera? Show it to me quickly."

Young man Ding: "I wish I could marry a wife who can give me so many gifts."

Young man Wu: "You? You'd better go to bed. You can dream about anything when you fall asleep."

Young man Geng: "That's right, you didn't look good when you were a kid, your grades in school were not good, and your job is not very good now, but you still think you can do it. I guess other places can't satisfy your ideas except dreams." Young man Ding: "Get lost."

"Hahaha"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the dowry sent by the Yun family had been unloaded and placed in the second tent built by Hou Huidong and his team. Neighbors, relatives and friends could come and see it at any time. Of course, there were also special people arranged to take care of it, mainly to prevent the children from pushing it down, damaging it, or stepping on it.

Around 2:30 in the afternoon, Yun Chengpeng and the others who were delivering the dowry had already started drinking.

There are special hostesses for this occasion, and they take turns to serve drinks if one doesn't work.

So after the banquet started, Han Li's brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng was the primary target of everyone's attention. He was the first person to be drunk and knocked down.

Then five more people were drunk, and the legs of the remaining two people became weak when they walked. The dowry-giving banquet was officially over.

According to the old rules of Sijiu City, Han Li needed to take a few people to the Yun family to "thank the makeup" at this time, and now he just took the opportunity to send Yun Chengpeng and the others back.

After Han Li and the "Xie Zhuang" people left, the number of people coming to pay their gifts reached a peak.

Those in charge began to arrange for the neighbors, classmates, friends and colleagues who had given gifts to sit at the table, and at the same time ordered the kitchen to start serving the dishes.

Neighbors who are closer to the Han family and are older and of higher seniority would even make a special trip to invite them.

At this time, the people who were bringing dishes from the kitchen to the table were neighbors, childhood friends, and his younger junior fellow apprentices who were of similar age and had a close relationship with Han Li.

Of course, people like Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru, Li Yunhua, Guan Haijiao, Song Guanghui who came here specifically to help, Tong Shaoxin from the sports school, Niu Dahai, Zhang Yaozu, Zhang Xiangjun from the Northeast, and the children of the street office and bus company leaders who were repeatedly told by their families before coming, were also the main candidates for serving the dishes at this time. There was even a scene where two people were fighting over a "tray".

They are not sitting down to drink now, but after the people who brought gifts have left and cleaned up, the Han family will set up two tables, and Han Li will accompany them to eat and drink.

(Tray: Also known as a pick-up tray, square tray, sieve, dustpan, or plate. It is a square tool that can hold many dishes at a time.)
Han Li's group also consisted of eight people, but his feeling after arriving at the Yun family made him feel that this "thank you for the dowry" was actually the woman's side wanting to see how the person who gave the dowry was treated in the man's family.

At this time, the Yun family saw that out of the eight people who came to the party, six of them were drunk, so the people they found to accompany the party immediately started to perform.

However, the drinking companions hired by the Yun family met Han Li, who was a wall-hanger. Although he could not help his companions block the wine, he sent all the wine that they wanted to pour into his stomach into the vast peach garden.

Because of the short and tight time, only three of the eight people in Han Li's group were drunk when they left. Han Li was fine and drove everyone back very soberly.

When Han Li returned home, those who had brought gifts and attended the banquet had almost all left.

After Han Li came back, he first told his parents and the manager about the situation of the trip. Then he accompanied these childhood friends for drinks. During this time, they not only had to eat and drink well, but also had to keep track of time.

Why does he have to choose the time? Because Han Li still has to take a bath in the bathhouse tonight.

Han Li finished drinking and took a group of people to take a bath.

Father Han took the new quilt he made and headed for the courtyard house near Houhaizi. Following Father Han were the Han sisters, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi, Hou Yuhua, as well as Ding Yulan and Wang Chunhua, several guests who had come from afar.
