Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chapter 240: Wedding Banquet at Home

There are only two bedrooms in the house.

Chen Xu and Lin Chan occupied one room, Lou Xiao'e and Qu Jiu occupied another, and Xu Damao was stunned.

This guy had a good idea, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it. Chen Xu didn't want to sleep with Xu Damao. He already had a wife, so who the hell would sleep in the same room with him? Besides, the quilt was not big enough for three girls to sleep in one.

Chen Xu called Chen Dan and asked him to take Xu Damao away.

Looking at Xu Damao who kept looking back every few steps, Chen Xu pretended not to see him.

"Ezi..."

Xu Damao tried to struggle.

"Hmm? Go to bed early."

Lou Xiao'e had recovered by now, full of energy. She waved goodbye to Xu Damao, turned around and hugged Lin Chan, wanting to sleep with her, saying that she wanted to chat all night.

Chen Xu's face was filled with black lines. I had finally gotten rid of Xu Damao, and now you still want to steal my wife?

You sleep with Lin Chan, what about me?

Chen Xu glanced at Qu Jiu next to him with a look of disgust. He thought she was not much better than that girl Yu Shui.

Qu Jiu's face turned green and he glared at Chen Xu fiercely, feeling that his young lady might be broken.

Lou Xiao'e's bizarre idea naturally aroused opposition from the three people. She didn't want Chen Xu and Qu Jiu to sleep together, but she thought it was good for three girls to sleep together.

When she entered the bedroom, she remembered that the quilt in Chen Xu's house was not the same as the quilt she used at home, which was more than two meters wide...

Lin Chan held her forehead with her hand. Chen Xu was right when he said Lou Xiao'e was a fool.

In this day and age, so-called wedding banquets are really very casual.

Just find a time, invite the elders from both sides, set up a table and show your appreciation.

Even so, only those from well-off families would hold a wedding banquet, while most people would just give out candies and call it a day.

Chen Xu didn't plan to invite many people, including his mother-in-law, the old village chief from Linjia Village, and Lin Qing, a familiar partner.

There are quite a lot of people in Chenjia Village, and every family has at least one pillar of support. However, there are not many households in Chenjia Village itself, only about a dozen in total.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't plan to invite so many people, but his uncle said it was inappropriate, and he knew something about Chen Xu's thoughts.

After all, when the villagers scattered and each tried to find a way out, Chen Xu was one of the last people to persevere. The so-called Chen family had long since disbanded, and it was not really unusual for Chen Xu not to want to interact with other people in the village anymore.

Uncle San obviously felt that the current Chenjia Village was far from the original family village. For him, who had more conservative ideas, this was a sad thing.

After all, the concept of family is very important these days, and it is really hard to accept watching your family decline.

The reason why Chen Xu didn't have such thoughts was naturally because he was not the original body. Although he had memories, it was like watching a movie and he couldn't empathize with many things.

Since his third uncle said that he needed to invite some villagers, Chen Xu couldn't refuse even for his third uncle's sake.

For him, it was just a matter of cooking one more table of food, so it didn't really matter.

At night, Chen Xu, who had just laid down for a short while, was awakened by his uncle's call outside the yard.

Uncle San felt a little apologetic. He felt that what he had done was not fair during the days when Chen Xu was away. After all, everyone was having a hard time now. Chen Xu's conditions might be better, but they were probably very limited.

Chen Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the food and money his uncle brought to him late at night.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Yang boy, uncle also wants to get everyone in the village together. You just got married, and your conditions are probably not that good. This is a little selfish of uncle. I will pay for the extra food and vegetables."

Chen Xu looked at his uncle who seemed somewhat at a loss, and sighed inwardly.

In fact, he really didn't think about it that much. These supplies, which might be very important to his uncle, were a drop in the bucket to him.

As for the grains, they were probably saved by Uncle San through his frugality over the past year. As for the banknotes, they were even less, just a small amount of bills worth a dozen yuan.

Chen Xu felt a headache. Sometimes relatives were too honest and difficult to communicate with. They were too stubborn, like his third uncle in front of him. He didn't know what to say.

"Okay, uncle, I'll take it, okay..."

Chen Xu gave up and compromised directly, asking Chen Dan to take the things back secretly. It was obviously not a wise move to stay in a stalemate with his uncle.

"This Third Uncle..."

Watching his uncle leave contentedly, Chen Xu was too tired to complain.

Lin Chan next to him covered her mouth and chuckled. She was the only one who knew how rich Chen Xu's supplies were now. Chen Xu probably didn't even care about these things from his third uncle, but he had no choice but to accept them.

The next morning.

Chen Xu and Lin Chan both looked energetic, which made Lou Xiao'e, who had been yawning since early morning, envious. She thought it was all due to their martial arts training.

They had no idea that the two of them had actually been training in the space for quite some time.

Qu Jiu next to her had a very unhappy face. Lou Xiao'e had a very regular sleeping pattern, sometimes turning clockwise, sometimes turning counterclockwise. She suffered greatly from this and now had dark circles under her eyes.

The dishes and other things have naturally been prepared long ago, you just need to cook them.

In fact, there is not much. Just prepare a few meat dishes and the rest are common vegetables. Don't think about big fish or meat, and the soup won't be bland. Just keep it ordinary.

Third Aunt and Chen Danyi had come to help early in the morning, so Chen Xu was free. So he took out some candies and asked Lin Chan to go out and distribute the candies. Since everyone in the courtyard had distributed the candies, the people from his hometown would naturally not be left out.

Chen Xu felt strange about the people in his hometown. How to put it, familiar yet strange.

I knew everyone, and most of them I had known since childhood, but there was no sense of familiarity at all.

After all, his familiarity with these people all came from his memory, and friendship without personal involvement would become very abstract, which led to his indescribable feelings about these people.

Even so, Chen Xu still introduced Lin Chan to the people in his hometown one by one with a smile. Although everyone knew him, the main point was to have a sense of ritual.

It's like when the neighbors next door get married and they know each other so well that they can almost wear the same pants. But at the wedding, the emcee will also introduce them as the parents of the newlyweds. Although this is a bit redundant, you can't help but say it.

Lin Chan, who had just returned from a walk, had gone to the kitchen to help. Chen Xu, on the contrary, had nothing to do, so he simply went into the bedroom and took out some cakes, wine and tea.

Because Xu Damao was harassing Lou Xiao'e who was making trouble in the kitchen, Lin Chan drove both of them out with a look of disgust. After they got to know each other, they became much more casual.

Now the relationship between Chen Xu and Xu Damao is more like that of bad friends, while Lou Xiao'e and Lin Chan are just fake best friends.

When the people from Linjia Village arrived, it was almost time for dinner, and Chen Xu's house became unusually lively.

Houses in rural areas are generally not small, so there is no problem in setting up two tables of wine in the main room. Everyone knows each other, so it is naturally more casual.

It was a rare occasion that Chen Xu drank to his heart's content, which resulted in him being a little dazed afterwards.

Although he could pour the wine into the space without anyone noticing, Chen Xu had never used this method. In his mind, cheating in drinking was shameful, even if others didn't know about it.

You can choose not to drink if you can, but you can't treat others as fools.

Chen Dan was still young, so Xu Damao blocked a lot of alcohol for Chen Xu as a brother, but the price he paid was that he fell down faster than Chen Xu.

Chen Xu miraculously discovered that Lin Chan's alcohol tolerance was extraordinary and he could drink almost anything. When he saw his wife increasing from one to two, he seemed to see Lin Chan get the old village chief drunk.
