Chapter 461 Liu Lan Married a Good Family
Jia Zhang's eating habits were even uglier. Because she was too fat, it was not convenient for her to bend down to pick up things.
He struggled to snatch a piece of candy from a little kid's hand and stuffed it into his mouth in no time.
Ah!
You know what, this toffee is delicious when you put it in your mouth. It is much better than ordinary hard candy.
"Dad, she stole my candy!" The little kid whose candy was taken away immediately cried and went to the adults at home to complain.
"Jia Zhang, do you have any shame? Why do you even steal children's things?"
"That's right, you're so grown up, and you don't have the audacity to be ashamed."
But why would Jia Zhang care about these things? She had heard all kinds of nasty words, and a few curses would cost her two pounds of meat.
"Please sprinkle more. There are so many people in the courtyard, and you can only sprinkle so little candy after all the hard work."
Liu Lan, who was originally smiling, saw this scene and her smile immediately disappeared.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu simply took the bag of candy and said, "No more, no more. I'll scatter it when the feast starts later."
If today wasn't his wedding day, Sha Zhu would have had a quarrel with Jia Zhangshi.
I've never seen anyone so shameless.
The relationship between the two families has become so strained, but they still want to come and get some wedding candy.
The onlookers in the yard laughed when they heard this.
When the banquet starts, the annoying Jia Zhang will definitely not be around, so I can pick up a few more and put them in my pocket.
"The bride is coming~~"
The third uncle Yan Bugui shouted at the top of his voice, and everyone made way for him. Sha Zhu led Liu Lan into the threshold of the courtyard, marking the entryway.
"Hey, Shazhu, you can live such a prosperous life without the help of the old man. It's really good."
"That's right. Don't you see who he works for now? I heard that Chen Jun was the one who brought Sha Zhu and the bride together."
"That's right. Now Shazhu's family has two regular employees, and they have more money than they can spend."
"When my son grows up, I will ask Chen Jun to help me find a formal job for him."
"I think it's okay. Let's go to Shazhu's house and eat some sunflower seeds."
In a short while, Sha Zhu's house was surrounded by people watching the fun.
Liu Lan was very happy to see that the people in the courtyard were so lively.
This shows that Sha Zhu is quite popular in the courtyard.
It was the first time that Liu Lan's parents came to Sha Zhu's house. Seeing the tidy house and the new furniture, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Nowadays, wealthy families would give their daughters some furniture as a dowry when they got married, but Liu Lan's family was not well off and could not raise the money to make furniture.
I didn't expect that Sha Zhu had already taken care of it.
What a satisfying son-in-law. Although he looks a little old, Liu Lan is a few years older than Sha Zhu, which is just the right age.
He Yushui was busy pouring tea and giving peanuts and melon seeds to her sister-in-law's family, and the room was very lively.
"Dad, Mom, this is Director Chen from our cafeteria. It was Director Chen who brought us together."
Liu Lan formally introduced Chen Jun to her parents, which made Chen Jun feel a little amused and helpless.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Lan should introduce Sha Zhu's elders and family to her parents, and explain what's going on with herself, an outsider.
When Liu Lan's parents heard that the young man in front of them was the director of the cafeteria, they immediately became nervous.
This is a serious leader who is in charge of the canteen.
Fortunately, the second uncle and the third uncle also came into the house at this time. Chen Jun introduced the two uncles and asked them to chat with Liu Lan's parents.
Young men like Liu Guangqi started to move tables, chairs and benches from home.
Although there were not many tables at Sha Zhu's wedding banquet, they still had to ask people in the courtyard to gather the tables, chairs and benches.
The party was lively until noon, when Sha Zhu started to put candies on the table.
There was a full plate on each table, which made the guests very happy.
Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian had been waiting there early, and as soon as the dishes were served, they each grabbed a handful.
"Hahaha, brother, I got four White Rabbit milk candies. Let's go home and make some milk after the party."
"What a mess! Why do you need to mix milk with candy? It tastes better when you eat it slowly, but it will become watery when you soak it in water!"
As he spoke, Liu Guangtian carefully took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the sugar coating, took a bite, and then handed the remaining half to Liu Guangfu.
Liu Guangfu didn't despise it. He took the half of the candy and put it into his mouth.
"Brother, the candy is so delicious."
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. The food will be served soon."
At the same time, Jia Zhang was leaning against the window, looking into the yard, cursing as she looked.
"This damn idiot actually put a plate of candy on every table!"
If it wasn't so eye-catching, she would have rushed into the yard to grab a plate of candy.
Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang who was leaning against the window and cursing, and while she wasn't paying attention she pinched a candy from the bed and put it into her mouth.
Although it was not milk candy, the sweet taste still made Qin Huairu excited.
"Hey, why is there one candy missing?"
After cursing, Jia Zhang looked back at the candies on the bed, counted them carefully, and found that one was missing.
Although she could not read, she could still do addition and subtraction within five using her fingers.
"Mom, did you count wrong?"
Qin Huairu replied with her mouth slightly opened, not daring to breathe, for fear of being discovered by Jia Zhang.
"Did I count wrong?" Jia Zhang stuffed the candy into her pocket suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong.
In the courtyard, the wedding banquet began within a few minutes after the candies were served.
"The food is served~~"
The third aunt brought a few young wives from the courtyard to help serve the dishes, and there were also a few grown boys helping out.
Chen Jun was still sitting at the same table with Liu Haizhong and the others, and had already poured some wine, ready for a drink.
Seeing the plates of large and filling dishes being served on the table, Liu Lan's relatives from her mother's side stared in amazement.
A woman swallowed quietly and said to her companion: "Sister-in-law, Liu Lan has found a good partner. This wedding banquet is really generous, even more generous than that of Wang Laosan next door."
"Will this cost a lot of money?"
"Haha, it must have cost a lot of money. Didn't you see that there was milk candy among the wedding candies today? That stuff is very valuable. Liu Lan found a good partner, so he is willing to spend money on her."
Liu Lan's relatives whispered to each other and all felt that Liu Lan had married into a good family.
As we were talking, the hot dishes began to be served.
Wow, these dishes made Liu Lan’s relatives from her mother’s side stare in amazement.
A whole pot of braised pork, a whole pot of stewed chicken, as well as braised pig's trotters with soybeans and cold shredded chicken.
The staple food was even more obvious, all of it was white flour steamed buns, with a whole basket of them on each table.
Just when the relatives thought the meal was too luxurious, two more pots of soup were brought in.
A pot of fish soup and a pot of meatballs in sour soup.
There are eight dishes and two soups, and almost every dish is served in a small bowl.
"Eat, eat, eat. Don't put down your chopsticks. Eat and drink well. Don't be polite to me!"
