Chapter 282: Congratulations, congratulations

Mother Wang looked at the two of them with eyes full of anticipation and nodded.

"That's right! I really want you two to be the best man and maid of honor. Can you agree to it?"

Zhang Yang asked with a strange expression: "What about your original best man and maid of honor? Shouldn't such a good thing be arranged in advance? Why is it so sudden now?"

Mother Wang sighed and said leisurely:

"They were originally friends of Li Tiezhu and the others, but when I asked today, I found out that their zodiac signs clash, so they aren't suitable to be the best man and maid of honor!"

"It's all my fault for being careless and forgetting to ask about this clearly. You young people don't understand these old customs!"

"The wedding starts tomorrow, and time is so tight now, so I can only ask you two to do us this favor!"

The other aunties around also chimed in, acting as lobbyists.

This kind of lively scene with all the aunts and uncles is something that only happens in these simple, rustic villages.

When one family encounters difficulties, everyone helps each other out!

Zhang Yang didn't hesitate for long before nodding in agreement.

"I can do it, leave the best man role to me, but for the maid of honor, it depends on whether Bai Lu agrees."

In an instant!

Everyone's gaze converged on Bai Lu!

Bai Lu's face turned red, and she said a bit bashfully:

"I can, but I have no experience. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"

Mother Wang grabbed Bai Lu's hand and said: "It's fine, there's a simple rehearsal this afternoon, just follow the flow then! Don't you still have him?"

After saying this, Mother Wang gave Zhang Yang a suggestive look!

This caused Bai Lu to blush even more!

She secretly turned her head to look at Zhang Yang, who was wearing a silly grin.

Zhang Yang understood in a second!!

He patted his solid chest and laughed: "Don't worry! I've got everything covered!"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes at him: "You say that as if you have experience getting married?!"

Zhang Yang: "Uh, uh, uh, uh..."

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, the hall was filled with laughter!

At this very moment!

The livestream chat was also in an uproar!

[Haha!! Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations to the two of them for landing the roles of best man and maid of honor!]

[Damn! This really is an unexpected surprise. It feels like watching their wedding in advance!]

[Why do I feel like this is scripted? How could the pre-arranged best man and maid of honor both have issues?!]

[You don't understand! In many places, there are customs where zodiac signs cannot clash!]

[Then shouldn't that have been known in advance? Having to find out at the last minute is clearly an arrangement by the production team to deliberately swap them in!]

[Hehe!! You guys don't get it! I've personally experienced this! We young people don't know these things at all!]

[Brother!! Please tell your story and slap these people in the face.]

[A year ago, my buddy asked me to be in his best man group. I happily drove my big BMW there, thinking I'd get all the bridesmaids in my car. Damn! Before the wedding procession, they said my zodiac sign clashed with the bride's and I couldn't enter the house! That night, I smoked a pack of cigarettes under a tree and fed countless mosquitoes!]

[Haha! Brother! You're too miserable! You didn't get any bridesmaids, but you fed a bunch of mosquitoes!]

[The bride and groom must be from the Chaozhou area, don't ask me how I know! Haha!]

[No need to ask! Anyone picking up the bride late at night must be from the Chaozhou area!]

[Damn!! I just agreed to be a best man for my friend, I have to ask them about their zodiac signs!]

[Uh! I just asked, and I almost got beaten up by my friend!]

[Ah?!! What did you ask? What kind of custom is this?!]

[I asked normally, I just asked what the bride's zodiac sign was!!]

[Damn!!! You just asked about the bride alone, didn't you!!]

[Damn! Where is he? Hearing this makes me want to hit someone!]

[Brother! Be careful next time, don't joke around!]

"Mother, isn't this wedding being held at home?"

Bai Lu looked around, didn't feel like there were any big changes, and asked curiously.

Mother Wang nodded and said: "Yes, that's right! In our village, wedding banquets are held at the ancestral hall!"

Bai Lu also remembered the open space in front of the ancestral hall she passed by when delivering gifts in the village the day before yesterday.

If a stage were built there, it would indeed be very suitable for holding a wedding.

Mother Wang suddenly added: "It's very lively there right now, they're slaughtering a pig!"

"Ah! Slaughtering a pig?!"

Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat!

Damn!! It couldn't be that coincidental, right!

He had just set a flag that he would never encounter this in his life!

And now he was getting slapped in the face so quickly?

At this moment, Bai Lu was also looking at Zhang Yang strangely!

Is this guy's mouth blessed or something?

How could it be so accurate?

He just mentioned pig slaughtering, and now it's immediately being arranged!

Could this guy actually know how to slaughter a pig?!

Zhang Yang = Pig Butcher?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

In her mind, a pig butcher should be a burly man with rolls of fat and a fierce expression!

Bai Lu immediately shook this terrifying thought out of her head!

Mother Wang, unaware of what they were both thinking, continued:

"That's right! This is an old tradition in our village. When there's a happy event, we slaughter a pig the day before, then deep-fry the pork belly in the afternoon to serve at the wedding tomorrow!"

"Large bowls of preserved vegetable pork belly?!"

Zhang Yang blurted out the name of this dish instantly!

"Exactly! I didn't expect you to know this dish. Our banquets wouldn't be complete without it!"

Mother Wang smiled and gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up.

Zhang Yang chuckled inwardly; he still held the title of a "small expert at hosting big banquets."

A small dish like preserved vegetable pork belly was nothing to him!

Even if you wanted to eat Nine-Turn Intestines, he could arrange it perfectly for you!

"You city people probably haven't seen a pig being slaughtered, right? If you're not afraid, you can go take a look!"

"Great! Mother, I really haven't seen what slaughtering a pig looks like. Let's go then!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Lu couldn't wait to pull Zhang Yang and run outside!

She was shouting: "Let's go! Let's go watch the pig slaughtering!!"

Zhang Yang had no choice but to follow helplessly behind her.

Someone who is even afraid of a dead mouse is now full of excitement about slaughtering a pig?!

She really is a strange woman!

At this time, the livestream was also full of discussion!
