Chapter 1294 Now the whole village thinks I'm married, what am I going to do?!
The Sichuan girl's one move got everyone busy. With so many people, even though there weren't enough chairs, they still had to give everyone some water!
Wang drove to buy bottled water, drinks, and fruit. His mother, Zhou Min, and Liu Ruyan were boiling water and washing fruit. Class monitor He Xiaoyue was coordinating with Chuanmei and handing out water. Lao Wan was dazzled by what he saw, but he also helped out. As for Miss Yuan, she was having a blast, moving among the various styles of young ladies.
She's just a flat-chested little girl; if she were a man, her expression would probably be incredibly lewd.
Comrade Lao Lin went to contact the mobile kitchen for the banquet, while Lin Mo was busy putting out fires wherever he could, going wherever help was needed.
There was no other way; the Lin family couldn't turn away their guests. Although the Sichuan girl had caught them off guard, they still had to observe proper etiquette.
Although he only said it casually yesterday, and he said he would feed as many people as needed, even if it was just a casual remark, it still has to be taken seriously.
The mobile kitchen arrived quickly, since it's not peak season now. They only have peak seasons around May 1st, October 1st, and the end of the year, because many weddings are held during those times.
Nowadays, when people get married in the countryside, the large banquets are almost always served in these mobile kitchens, and very few people cook for themselves anymore.
This kind of rural banquet is quite convenient, as it includes labor and materials, tables and chairs, and even the construction of a makeshift shed.
Of course, some mobile kitchens also offer full wedding services, such as scene setup and videography.
The mobile kitchen staff arrived within an hour. In today's society, as long as you're willing to spend the money, this kind of small thing is quite easy to do.
Of course, these were just the advance team, setting up sheds, tables and chairs, and stoves, since some ingredients needed to be bought on the spot.
Fortunately, the house in their hometown was newly built and had enough space, so the awning was quickly set up, and tables and chairs were arranged. In addition, to prevent the hot weather, they prepared several high-powered fans with water inside, which could play a good role in cooling down.
Soon, a row of red tents were set up in the courtyard of Lin Mo's old family villa. From a distance, it looked very festive. The mobile kitchen team even laid out a red carpet in their yard, and there was a red carpet at the entrance of the courtyard. The atmosphere was so festive that anyone who didn't know better would think that there was a happy occasion in their family.
With the help of the staff, they were finally able to relax a bit. Liu Ruyan was making a video call to Ms. Cheng on her phone, laughing as she spoke, as if she were seeing her own wedding scene.
The others found a place to lie down inside; they were clearly exhausted. As for Chuanmei, he was still greeting everyone on the makeshift stage.
It felt like a fan meeting. Of course, many girls in the audience also started live streaming. After all, they were all self-media creators. They rushed over after receiving an invitation from their friend Li Shiya, and of course they wanted to attract some traffic for themselves!
Seeing Chuanmei's smug and self-satisfied behavior, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask Director Wang, who was standing to the side, "Hey? Now you can tell me, what exactly did he do? How did he do it?"
Upon hearing this, Director Wang scratched his head. Seeing this, the squad leader quickly chimed in, "While you were busy, Xiaoyue and I asked her about it."
He said that some of these people were called from his contacts, some from his fan group, and most of them came from Jiangning!
Not only did they say that everyone coming had to dress up and look their best, they even specified what to wear: black stockings, white stockings, and so on!
Lin Mo:
"He's so free!"
Hearing this, He Xiaoyue sneered: "What's so special about that? He said that if it weren't for the fact that your place is a bit small and there's not enough time, he would have liked to post a video online. It wouldn't be a problem for a thousand or two people to come!"
Lin Mo was completely speechless. It wasn't that he was speechless, but rather that he was convinced. He knew that with Li Shiya's influence, it would be easy for her to invite a thousand or two people across the entire internet.
At the end of last year, even an ordinary person could gather several thousand people, so Li Shiya was naturally no less capable.
"He didn't say it was for Lao Wan's blind date, did he?" Lin Mo asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the class monitor shook his head: "No, he just invited fans to come over and have fun in the group chat, and even provided meals. It's just that there was a time limit; otherwise, more than this many people could have come from the fan group alone!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was only two hundred people. He could still manage. Hiring a mobile kitchen would only cost a little money, which he could afford. With these people eating and drinking well, it would only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan.
After all, the food in the countryside is cheap, so it won't hurt his wallet.
Just then, the kitchen outside the courtyard wall started cooking, and the aroma wafted out. Lin Mo's father stood outside, looking at the endless rows of cars parked along the roadside, and felt a moment of disorientation.
"What's wrong, Dad? Are you tired?" Mom Zhou Min asked with a smile as she came over.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin shook his head: "No, it's just that I feel like our family is now completely famous in the village."
"Hahaha, so many cars, and your son brought home so many girls, aren't you feeling smug now?" Zhou Min laughed. Hearing this, Old Lin rolled his eyes at his wife: "Smug my foot! Look at the rumors that will spread tomorrow! Aren't you worried at all!"
"What am I worried about? This isn't my hometown. My hometown is Hukou Village. This embarrassment won't happen there. I don't care. Even if it's embarrassing, it's you Lins who are embarrassed. My surname is Zhou, so it has nothing to do with me! Haha!" Zhou Min laughed.
Comrade Lao Lin:
The chefs were very efficient, and a group of people were busy at work. As a result, they started serving the dishes at 11:30 a.m.
"Well, let me say a few words. The fact that we can all meet here today is all thanks to a certain stubborn guy. Yesterday he said I didn't know any female friends, and that if I could find any, he would treat me to dinner, no matter how many came."
"Come on, everyone, let's give a warm round of applause to invite [Stubborn Hand Brother] to come up and say a few words!" The Sichuan girl shouted from the stage, holding the microphone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the more than two hundred girls below erupted in enthusiastic applause. Anyone who follows Li Shiya knows that Lin Mo, also known as "Brother Shou," plays an extremely important role in his works. Although he doesn't work in social media, his legend still exists online!
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Lin Mo was pushed onto the stage by Director Wang and others. Liu Ruyan started recording from below, thoroughly amused. What do you call this? This is what you call a guy who talks big meeting a guy who's real.
Lin Mo was a little nervous after being pushed onto the stage, but fortunately it was his home turf, so he resigned himself to his fate. Then the microphone spoke:
"Everyone, thank you for coming. I didn't expect that Chuan Li Shiya would actually call people over. When you arrived, I had just gotten up and didn't even know what had happened."
"No matter what, since you're here, I'll make sure everyone eats and drinks well. Just treat it as a fan meeting for Li Shiya, so please feel free to do as you please!" Lin Mo said with a helpless smile.
Seeing his expression and hearing the whole story, the more than two hundred people in the audience laughed non-stop. This is clearly a bad friend!
Just then, several elderly men and women arrived at the gate.
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly tossed the microphone to Chuan Mei and jumped off the stage to greet her.
"Auntie, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Auntie, Auntie, come quick! My parents are inside!" Lin Mo said hurriedly.
These were all his elders, some of whom were quite old, while the younger ones were around fifty years old. They were all residents of Qinghe Village.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's fourth aunt laughed and said, "Lin Mo, why are you inviting us to your wedding today? We're all from the same village. Come on, come on, where's your wedding gift?"
As she spoke, Fourth Aunt looked around for the place where the wedding gift money was. Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly explained, "No, no one is getting married. I'm not married!"
"Not married? If you're not married, you were on stage just now, with this red tent, red carpet, and so many people, wow~ all young girls!" Third Aunt said, but quickly noticed the key point.
Among the guests, they were all young girls; at first glance, it was impossible to tell which one was the bride.
In response, Lin Mo waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "It's really not like that. If I were to get married, I couldn't possibly not inform you elders!"
After saying that, he quickly called his parents out. These were all relatives of the village. Of course, some were also related by blood, but guests should be treated well, right?
When Lin Mo's parents came out, Old Lin quickly explained and welcomed the elderly people into the house. Then, more than two hundred people burst into laughter. The scene was so real that it was hard to contain oneself!
Lin Mo then had Chuanmei announce the start of the meal, and the group began to eat. During this time, several groups of elderly people from the village came over.
They all come to see if there's anything good happening at his house. If Lin Mo is getting married, they can come and give a gift. After all, although his family didn't live in the village before, they always gave gifts to anyone who had an event. They were never lacking in sentiment or courtesy. So, if his family had a happy occasion, almost everyone in the village who was at home could come, and those who weren't home could ask someone to bring a gift.
Meanwhile, while everyone was busy with the feast, Lin Mo used a lever to pull the Sichuan girl out of the courtyard, then pointed at the crowd and shouted, "Look!! Now the whole village thinks I'm getting married, what are we going to do!"
"I...I meant well. This is for Lao Wan's lifelong happiness. Besides, you provoked me first. Why don't you just get married to your boyfriend today!" Chuanmei said, shrinking her neck with a wronged yet ingratiating expression.
Lin Mo:
He then pointed at the Sichuan girl with a speechless expression and said, "Let me put it this way, even if you were to find someone to chop me up in Causeway Bay, it wouldn't be easy to get so many people involved. Can't you do something productive for once?!"
Sichuan girl: "Isn't that awesome?!"
Lin Mo:
