Chapter 986: Paying for the Wedding Banquet
Fang Chaoyang didn't leave, as he planned to go upstairs later to discuss with Mr. and Mrs. Du about booking a restaurant and finalizing some wedding processes.
After all, he's going to be a groom the day after tomorrow.
He's about to marry Du Ruo.
He's also about to have a wife.
"Auntie, you must come and have some wedding candies at that time."
Hearing Ruoruo suddenly mentioning wedding candies, should he prepare some as well and some red envelopes?
Back when Third Brother married his sister-in-law, he directly rode his bicycle to the Educated Youth Institution to pick her up, only giving some wedding candies.
But those years, land hadn't been allocated to households; everyone was working in the fields.
As for Da Li and Sister-in-law Lanhua's wedding, Auntie Cao handed out candies, and as for the red envelopes, they were given to Lanhua's little brothers-in-law.
And when Xiao He got married, there weren't any wedding candies or red envelopes.
Having attended several weddings, he should logically have experience, but at this moment, he's at a loss.
How should he prepare?
This auntie chuckled, "Absolutely, I'll definitely come."
This Old Du's family must have burned high incense sticks to manage to marry their daughter into the Capital City.
How much dowry did they give?
Probably not a small amount?
When asked, Old Du and his wife wouldn't say.
Finally, they arrived home.
"Mom and Dad..."
"Uncle and Auntie."
After the four of them sat down, Fang Chaoyang asked, "Uncle, Auntie, do you plan to hold the banquet in the community or at a restaurant?"
"At a restaurant."
It's more convenient that way.
"Since it's at a restaurant, I'll cover the cost. As for the candy, tobacco, and alcohol, I'll have to trouble you, Uncle and Auntie."
What?
We're marrying off our daughter, and you're paying for the banquet?
"This won't do."
"Why not? Ruoruo is marrying far away. This banquet is just for relatives and friends to get to know me."
"The dowry has been given. The money for the banquet isn't much for me."
"Uncle, Auntie, which restaurant do you think is good, and how many tables do we need?"
Fang Chaoyang didn't beat around the bush but spoke directly.
With the wedding the day after tomorrow, there's no need to be overly courteous.
"Are there any particular wedding processes that need special attention over there?"
Particular attention?
Seeing him so serious, Mr. Du sighed, "There isn't anything specific to pay attention to. Just a little reminder on the big day and give the younger ones some red envelopes."
The few of them discussed little by little.
On the other side.
After Yun Xiaoxiao and the group got off the plane, they hailed a taxi to head toward Du Ruo's place.
She remembered the address Du Ruo mentioned.
"Excuse me, does Du Ruo live here?"
Who?
Du Ruo?
"Do you know Ruoruo?"
"Yes, we're here to attend her wedding."
Wedding?
But you're carrying suitcases.
"I'll take you there."
This auntie was very enthusiastic.
She could see Yun Xiaoxiao was so young, Zhao Tianlei was handsome and elegant, and Fang Meiyun was a fair beauty. As for Grandma Fang, although older, her attire was unlike ordinary people.
She was quietly wondering: Does Ruoruo know such people?
These people clearly looked well-off; their demeanor was different.
"Are they your relatives?"
"They're not my relatives; they're here for Ruoruo, to attend her wedding."
The news of Du Ruo's wedding the day after next had already been spread by Mrs. Du and others.
In this residential area, many people worked in the same factory and were close, so they would attend Du Ruo's wedding; even those who weren't that close could still get wedding candies.
Yun Xiaoxiao noticed this auntie greeting many people along the way.
