Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Have Fun Tomorrow
Father Shi: "I already said, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. If they dare to make a fuss, I’ll make trouble for them!"
Shi Mingru felt relieved upon hearing this.
Speaking of the daughter-in-law, Shi Mu said, "Ming Ru, contact the host and simplify everything for tomorrow. Linlin is pregnant, so we’ll skip the traditional bowing to elders.
Tomorrow, just a bow to the parents on both sides will do. Your uncles and aunts won’t go up.
I’ve explained the situation to them, and they will give the red envelopes separately."
Shi Mingru nodded after hearing this, realizing he almost forgot about this matter.
"I’ll call the host to discuss it now."
"Where are your groomsmen?"
"They’ll be here tonight."
"Honey, how much should we put in the red envelope?"
"Coming..."
The Shi Family was filled with a festive atmosphere, and everyone nearby knew there would be a wedding banquet at this house tomorrow.
"Hey, there’s going to be a celebration here!"
"Wow, it looks quite wealthy; we should come early tomorrow to get some cigarettes!"
"I’ll come too. By the way, let me tell you, prepare some things for tomorrow so we can liven things up!"
"Will this family let us make a fuss?"
"Why wouldn’t they? Don’t worry, I’m familiar with this household, they know us, so feel free!"
"Alright, then I’m going to buy some tape!"
"Why buy tape?"
"Haha, you’ll see tomorrow!"
"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s have dinner at their place tonight!"
"Yes, yes, I haven’t had meat for a while..."
A group of young men in their twenties walked into the Shi Family together.
Shi Mingru was discussing the wedding details for tomorrow with the host, when suddenly someone put an arm around his shoulder.
Turning his head, Shi Mingru saw an old elementary school classmate.
"Liangzi"
Shi Mingru looked at him, pleasantly surprised, and then pointed to his phone, signaling him to wait a moment.
Liangzi looked at the room’s decorations, noticing some places were still unfinished.
He waved his hand, "Come on, everyone, help with the setup here."
Five or six people quickly got to work decorating the room.
Father Shi and Shi Mu were momentarily stunned to see these young men.
"Liangzi, you’ve come; have some wedding candies."
Shi Mu obviously knew these people. Though she felt a bit displeased inside, she chose not to show it since it was a joyous day.
They were from the same street, some were married, some were not.
Their personalities? Hard to say.
But since they were neighbors, guests are guests when they arrive.
After finishing his call, Shi Mingru approached.
"Liangzi, long time no see."
Liangzi looked at Shi Mingru and laughed, "Indeed, you’re always busy working outside, never coming back. When you do, it’s a big event, but you didn’t notify us.
If we hadn’t passed by, we wouldn’t even know you’re getting married."
Shi Mingru picked up a cigarette and offered it to them.
"I just came back a few days ago and was too busy to remember."
Liangzi took a cigarette, glanced at it, and thought, nice cigarettes!
That evening, they didn’t leave and had dinner at the Shi Family.
The two groomsmen also arrived, and as soon as they did, Liangzi’s group pulled them in for drinks.
The two groomsmen paused, looking at Ming Ru, who frowned slightly but intervened with a smile to stop Liangzi’s group.
"Liangzi, my two friends just got off the high-speed train and haven’t eaten anything.
Let them eat something first to fill up, you guys go ahead and eat and drink."
Liangzi and his group were clearly already quite drunk.
"Bro, drink up; if you don’t, you’re disrespecting us!"
The two groomsmen, to not offend their friend, accepted a drink, planning to have just one.
But once they drank, Liangzi’s group insisted on them continuing.
And their speech was very coarse and unrefined.
The way they spoke, anyone unaware would think this was their house.
Spittle flew everywhere, cigarette ash was flicked onto the floor, and cigarette butts weren’t even stamped out, just tossed aside.
The place was a mess in no time.
When Shi Mu returned after seeing off guests, she was nearly furious seeing the chaotic scene.
Even Father Shi, who had also had some drinks with friends, entered cheerfully and saw the young men dragging his son and his friends to drink, and he jovially approached.
"Come, come, a few of you have a drink with Uncle."
Father Shi glanced at the table and saw most of the food was gone, then turned to his son, "Mingru, have your mom cook a few more dishes. Your two friends just got off the train, probably haven’t eaten, get some food quickly."
Shi Mu quickly called out, "Mingru, bring your two friends here; I’ll make something for you."
Mingru and his two friends took the opportunity to stand up and headed outside.
As they saw Mingru leaving, Liangzi and his friends immediately protested against them leaving.
Father Shi held a wine glass, "Come, let Uncle drink with you.
Mingru has to pick up the bride tomorrow; he can’t drink too much tonight."
"Ming Ru, are those your friends?" one of the groomsmen asked quietly.
Shi Mingru rubbed his temples, breathing the fresh air, clearing his thoughts a bit.
"No, one of them is my elementary school classmate; the others are just from the street, but we haven’t really talked much."
"How can people you aren’t close with act like it’s their own home? These people really lack manners," the other groomsman said disdainfully.
Shi Mu: "Sigh, these guys are always idle, crashing any gathering for free food and drinks, and nobody likes them."
Shi Mingru: "It’s fine, they’ll leave after the banquet tomorrow."
Shi Mu sighed, quickly cooking for the three of them.
"Auntie, don’t trouble yourself, we don’t need much."
"Yes, Auntie, just make us one dish, and we’ll have it with bread!"
Shi Mu smiled and said, "How can that be? You came from so far away, we must treat you well."
Shi Mingru: "Exactly, tonight was supposed to be for hosting you, but... Tomorrow night, we’ll make up for it!"
The two groomsmen cheerfully agreed, "Alright, we’ll have a good drink tomorrow night."
Shi Mingru: "Alright!"
Liangzi and his group stayed at the Shi Family until midnight, eventually forcing Shi Mu to call their parents from the street to take them home.
It wasn’t until after midnight that they left.
Early the next morning, the Shi Family rose to prepare, with relatives and friends arriving early too.
The wedding car and videographer had arrived.
Shi Mingru, dressed in a suit with the groom’s boutonniere on his chest, energetically prepared to set off.
Ai Lin’s side also got up early for makeup, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi had already changed into their bridesmaid dresses, and lightly did each other’s makeup.
Ai Lin’s mother happily looked at Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi, satisfied with their appearance and styling.
These are true friends. Her niece’s wedding had bridesmaids looking even better than the bride, clearly fake friends.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Nan, come, this is a red envelope from Auntie, please take it."
Lin Xiaoyan immediately refused when she saw it.
"Auntie, we are friends with Sister Lin, how can we accept red envelopes?"
"You must! This is the tradition; bridesmaids always get a red envelope, you should accept it, please take it."
