I'm back in 1990

Chapter 266: Eventually, Life Will Return to Ordinary Times

Huang Dahai's wedding mobilized the whole family, including the Yu family. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, especially since the Huang and Yu families were already in-laws. Old Yu and Zheng Aiying helped Zeng Lijuan with a lot of things, otherwise Zeng Lijuan would have been exhausted.

My eldest son is getting married, so I can't be careless about anything.

For example, questions include the amount of the betrothal gifts, whether the banquet should be jointly hosted by the two families or separately hosted by each family, how to collect the monetary gifts, where the relatives will stay, the exact number of attendees, the need to discuss with the hotel to prepare extra tables in case there aren't enough seats, the standard price per table for the banquet, and the selection of dishes.

In addition, there was the confirmation of the candidate for Grandma Quanfu, and the matchmaker had to be present. Huang Xiaochuan, who was far away in Shanghai, was assigned a task before he returned. The second son had a training mission and could not come back, so he wrote a letter to Huang Dahai and also sent a gift.

Not only was Lao Huang busy writing invitations every day, but he also had to book hotels. One hotel wasn't enough, so he booked two: the Yingbin Hotel for Huang Dahai's comrades-in-arms and the Qingjiang Hotel for his own relatives.

Zeng Lijuan would never have been so extravagant in the past, but now that she has the financial means, she's going to have a grand and lavish affair!

Huang Xiaochuan and his uncle had discussed it beforehand and decided to go their separate ways to save time.

When Huang Xiaochuan arrived home with Yu Xiang, Yu Wei, Tang Yuan, and their group, the room connecting to the balcony had been completely transformed into Huang Dahai's wedding room, decorated with festive red decorations.

The elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, and Zheng Aiying were busy preparing for tomorrow's wedding ceremony when they were overjoyed to see Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang return.

"mom!"

"Aunt!"

"Aunt Zeng!"

"Aunt Zheng!"

When Zheng Aiying saw Tang Yuan, she held her hand tightly and couldn't bear to let go. The last time they went to Shanghai, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't see each other because Tang Yuan accompanied her mother to Beidaihe during the summer vacation.

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting warmly, Huang Xiaochuan and his mother were also busy.

Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Where's my brother?"

Zeng Lijuan said, "He went to greet his comrades-in-arms, and dozens of them came all at once! He said many more comrades-in-arms are coming tonight!"

"So where do they live?"

"Your dad arranged for someone to book an entire building at the State Guest House; there's enough room."

Huang Xiaochuan was surprised to see so many of Huang Dahai's comrades-in-arms.

However, he asked, "Will Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt also stay at the guesthouse when they come?"

"Our family is staying at the Qingjiang Hotel, so you shouldn't stay at home either; go stay at the hotel with your grandmother."

Huang Xiaochuan thought that this arrangement was indeed appropriate. If he stayed at home, it would be quite inconvenient, especially since a large group of people would be making a ruckus in the bridal chamber tomorrow night. His small house would probably be packed to the brim, and he couldn't even turn around right now.

At this moment, Zeng Lijuan started talking to Yu Xiang again, and Huang Xiaochuan took the opportunity to go out and find Zhou Wei and the others.

"My brother is at the guesthouse. He said a lot of comrades have come. I'm all set here now that I'm home. You guys go to the guesthouse to find my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei and his group immediately set off! After saying goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan, they headed to the guesthouse.

There were too many people inside, so Huang Xiaochuan stood outside for a while. Yu Wei couldn't stand it inside either, so he came out and stood with Huang Xiaochuan for a while.

"Getting married is such a hassle, there are so many rules and regulations," Yu Wei complained, shaking his head.

Huang Xiaochuan sneered, "Then don't get married in the future, and see if your mother and Tang Yuan will let you off the hook?"

Yu Wei quickly glanced behind him, afraid that someone might have overheard him. Chapter 266: Eventually, a Return to Ordinary Life Brings Surprises; Click to unlock now.

"Can you fucking keep your voice down?"

The two of them had nothing else to do, so they took a stroll around the yard, which had been their main battlefield during their childhood, where they had spent most of their childhood.

As they passed by the house of one of their childhood friends, Huang Xiaochuan teased Yu Wei, "You used to say you were going to marry Du Lingling, have you forgotten about that?"

Yu Wei was immediately embarrassed: "That's something we said when we were kids playing house. You're bringing that up now? Are you out of your mind?"

"Look how impatient you are. I was just helping you remember."

"Recalling the past, huh? Then let me help you recall it too. You were a scoundrel since you were little. Back in elementary school, you even pretended to be a doctor and tried to examine girls." In a moment of desperation, Yu Wei revealed Huang Xiaochuan's dark past.

Now it was Huang Xiaochuan's turn to blush: "You're talking nonsense! I was just using a tree branch as a stethoscope to listen to the chest."

"Alright! Let's leave it at that. Let's not bring up the past anymore, okay?" Huang Xiaochuan compromised.

Just then, his uncle's entire family arrived at the residential compound in two cars. Huang Xiaochuan recognized them immediately and quickly went to greet them.

Now Huang Xiaochuan's house is even more lively, with so many people that it's hard to find a place to stand.

That's how it is for older people; they're overjoyed to see their grandchildren all getting married, and they're happy to be alive to witness it.

Almost the entire family was present, except for Huang Xiaochuan's second aunt's family, who were absent. Grandma even asked why.

"Liping called me and said it was difficult for her to take leave, and asked me to be understanding."

Upon hearing this, Grandma's face immediately turned cold: "We can't even get her to help us with something this big? It seems she's planning to cut all ties with us forever?"

Zeng Lijuan quickly advised, "Liping and her husband are both very busy with work, and Zou Jin and Zou Dan's workplaces are also very busy, plus they live so far away. They would need to ask for five or six days off. What are they supposed to do?"

This was a matter between the elders. After listening to it for a bit, Huang Xiaochuan went to his room. This room had been converted into a temporary reception room because the living and dining room of this old house was too small to seat many people, so the borrowed tables, chairs and benches were placed in this room.

Huang Xiaochuan chatted with his eldest and second brother-in-laws. This was the first time Huang Xiaochuan had met his second brother-in-law in this life. His second brother-in-law was still as honest and capable as ever. Huang Xiaochuan remembered that in his previous life, he had run a mahogany furniture factory and he and his second sister, Zeng Xia, had a very prosperous life.

Huo Miao was also meeting the legendary, magical brother-in-law for the first time, and was a little reserved at first.

Fortunately, Tang Jianhua, Huang Xiaochuan's brother-in-law, was there. He and Huang Xiaochuan had met before and were quite familiar with each other, which prevented an awkward silence.

According to custom, a housewarming party will be held that evening for the relatives and friends who have come to attend the wedding. Then, the wedding schedule for the next day will be checked again. Uncle Zeng Jiahua will go to the bride's house to pick her up as the groom's representative. This is the first time he has done this since he became an uncle.

On the actual day, Huang Xiaochuan was the most relaxed person, as he had no work to do. This was because so many of Huang Dahai's comrades-in-arms had come, and they had taken care of all the work of picking up the bride. However, this made his uncle, Zeng Jiahua, extremely happy. For the first time in his life, he had become a military leader, leading a group of active or retired soldiers to rush to the bride's house. At first glance, it looked like Wang Laohu was trying to snatch the bride.

The wedding, which had taken a long time to prepare, came to an end quickly, and everything was about to return to normal. After saying goodbye to the parents of Huang and Yu, Huang Xiaochuan and his family returned to Shanghai. His uncle took his grandmother back to Suzhou as well. However, Huang Xiaochuan had already told his grandmother and aunt that he would go to Suzhou to pick them up and take them to Shanghai after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
