Chapter 301
Zhong Ruyi's tongue was numb from the spicy wine and she wanted to drink some water. When she opened her mouth slightly, her aunt stuffed something soft into her mouth. She chewed it subconsciously and frowned, "What is that? Raw?"
"Good, good, good! Good birth!"
"Did you hear that, groom? You must work harder so that your mother can have a grandson next year!"
All the aunts and sisters-in-law burst into laughter.
Realizing what they had just said about life, they looked at each other and couldn't help blushing.
Chen Dongzhi pretended to be calm and secretly held Zhong Ruyi's hand.
This was considered the end of the ceremony. Before Chen Dongzhi's hand could even warm up, he was pulled out to force Zhong Ruyi to drink. Zhong Ruyi could only sit alone by the bed and wait.
But not long after she left, Xiaoxue secretly pushed open the door and came in with a bowl in her hand. As soon as she came in, she saw her sister-in-law's outfit today and her eyes lit up. After putting down the bowl in her hand, she came forward to look at her for several times and said, "Sister-in-law, you are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen."
Zhong Ruyi smiled slightly, and the tension just now dissipated at this moment. She smiled and patted the empty seat next to her, "Hurry up and sit down and chat with me."
Xiaoxue shook her head. "The aunts all said that I can't sit there. Only boys can sit there. It's not good for me to sit there."
The bed of a newlywed couple cannot be sat on by a girl, because people are afraid that if a girl sits on it, the first baby will be a girl. People with conservative ideas still hope that the first baby will be a boy after seeing the doctor.
But Zhong Ruyi doesn't care about this. She is also a woman. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl cannot be determined by sitting on the bed. Doesn't it depend on the man?
"Don't worry about what your aunt says, just come and sit down."
Seeing that Xiaoxue was still a little hesitant, she put her hands on her waist and put on a grinning expression, "Ouch! Come and help me massage my waist, it hurts so much!"
Xiaoxue was a little flustered. She sat down on the bed and gently pressed the place that Zhong Ruyi pointed.
After a long while, she asked, "How is sister-in-law? Is she feeling better?"
Zhong Ruyi was just trying to coax Xiaoxue, but she didn't expect that after being pressed twice by her, she felt really comfortable. However, her hands would get sore after pressing for too long. "Okay, that's enough."
Xiaoxue remembered that she had brought a bowl with her when she came in, so she quickly gave the bowl and chopsticks on the table to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, my brother told you to eat something first to fill your stomach."
I haven't had any food since this morning, so this meal came just in time.
Zhong Ruyi picked up the bowl and started eating, and the banquet in the yard officially began.
The house is over 400 square meters, and the yard alone is about 100 square meters. There are about 20 tables, and the dishes on each table are the same.
The aunts carried trays and brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one.
There are eight main dishes: braised pork, stir-fried duck with green peppers, four-happiness meatballs, and pork with preserved vegetables, and a large plate of roast lamb on the table.
There were also various fruit snacks and two soups crowded on the table.
Madam Yu, Butler Fang, Shopkeeper Ding and others sat together with several people from the escort agency.
Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang helped put a jar of wine on the table. This wine was all brewed by them. Uncle Huang said with a smile, "Daughter's Red, Bamboo Leaf Green, and Lotus Bud. Just take whatever you want to drink!"
These were what they brought from their hometown to Xinghua Village. After they finished drinking them, they started brewing them. Today is a good day, so they should eat meat and drink wine!
Aunt Huang was more careful. She was worried that the women at the table could not drink strong liquor, so she brought out some fruit juice. This kind of liquor has a light taste, sweet and sour, and can be drunk by women and children.
The villagers had already started exclaiming in surprise when the dishes were placed on the table one by one. It’s not that they had never been to weddings before, but this was just too sumptuous.
All eight of the main dishes were meat, and there were two stir-fried vegetables, and all-you-can-eat fruit snacks.
The most important thing is the plate of roasted whole lamb!
"It's delicious! Mom, please try it! This mutton is so delicious!"
"This braised pork is delicious. I have bad teeth, so it tastes just right."
"How is this mutton made? Why is it so delicious? I have never eaten such delicious meat in my life!" After Wang Laizi burped, he continued to move his chopsticks towards the plate of roasted mutton.
The king's father and mother both had their cheeks bulging as they ate and put food into their son's bowl, which made others around them curl their lips.
Seeing that the plate of mutton was almost gone, someone quickly brought up a new plate and took the empty plate away.
Aunt Wu ate while whispering to Zhong Qingqing, who was eating beside her without even looking up, "I asked you to meet Dongzhi but you refused. Look at the conditions. If you really marry him, wouldn't you just be living a luxurious life?"
Zhong Qingqing curled her lips and tried to save face for herself, not wanting to say that even if she was willing, Chen Dongzhi might not agree.
But her mother kept nagging, and all the food was not enough to stop her from eating. She got a little impatient and stuffed a piece of green vegetables into Aunt Wu's mouth with her chopsticks, "Mom, eat quickly!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong sat together with the Chen family. Everyone at the table had always had a very good relationship with each other.
But for some reason, the two families felt a little awkward sitting there. The main reason was that Mr. and Mrs. Zhong’s mentality had not yet changed, and they were still sad that their daughter was getting married.
Mother Chen put a piece of mutton into Mother Zhong's bowl with chopsticks, "Xiu Lan, try this."
Mother Zhong smiled, picked up the piece of mutton and started eating it carefully.
I don’t know how the chef cooked it, but the mutton has no smell at all and the meat is tender and juicy.
I was a little reluctant at first, but after taking a bite of the delicious food, I felt hungry.
When Mr. Zhong saw that his wife had already started eating, he felt it was inappropriate for him to drink secretly, so he quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating too.
Cuicui, Xiaohe, Shitou and several other children sat at a table with other children in the village. Zhang Mingzhu was with them. The children at the table could not even lift their heads while eating, with oil dripping from their mouths.
Mrs. Yu and others originally thought that no matter how sumptuous the wedding banquet in the village was, it would be no more than this. But when the banquet was actually served, they realized that they were ignorant.
It was almost impossible to eat all the dishes on the table. Manager Ding was a little surprised. After all, the chef was borrowed by him, and most of the dishes he made were things he had never seen before.
He was very happy. After picking up his chopsticks and tasting each dish, he decided that when he returned home and hosted wedding banquets for others, these dishes must be served, as well as the roast lamb. The dipping sauce was also very good. He would ask the chef where the dipping sauce came from and bring some back.
Boss Wu was holding a jar of girl's red wine. After he filled his own glass, he happened to meet the groom who came to toast him.
Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses, congratulated the groom, and drank it all in one gulp.
"This wine is really good! It's stronger than the wine in my tavern! It should sell well in winter. I'll ask where you bought this wine from so I can buy some back!"
