Chapter 462 Let's live a good life, which is better than anything else
Sha Zhu picked up the wine glass and shouted that he wanted to drink with the people at the table.
There are three great joys in life: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, passing the imperial examination and the wedding night. Sha Zhu couldn't tell how happy he was today.
The men were drinking happily together, but the women's table was much quieter.
The bride Liu Lan was arranged by Sha Zhu to sit next to the deaf old lady, and would pick up pieces of meat for her from time to time.
"Old lady, please eat a few more bites of this braised pork. The meat is very tender and not chewy."
I have to say that the braised pork at the wedding banquet tasted very good, and the pieces were large, with the right cooking time and seasoning.
"Hey, good, good!"
The deaf old lady was also so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She took a bite of the braised pork that Liu Lan had picked up, and her eyebrows relaxed.
In the courtyard, the deaf old lady is probably the one who most wants Sha Zhu to get married.
She was a little worried at first that her granddaughter-in-law had a bad temper, but after getting to know her for a while, the deaf old lady felt relieved.
Apart from anything else, Liu Lan is definitely a good person and a woman who can live a good life.
Better than Qin Huairu and Hou Guifang.
The aroma of the food was so tempting that many people in the courtyard who did not attend the wedding banquet were eager to join in.
If I had known that Sha Zhu’s banquet was so good, I would have established a good relationship with Sha Zhu before.
But this is not anyone else's fault, it's just that Sha Zhu didn't have a good reputation in the courtyard before.
Everything was fine when He Daqing was around, Sha Zhu was just a kid with not very bright brains.
But after He Daqing left, he became involved with Yi Zhonghai's Jia family, so many families disliked him.
Fortunately, Sha Zhu, Jia family and Yi Zhonghai broke up, and his relationship with the people in the courtyard was gradually easing.
Jia Zhang couldn't sleep as she smelled the fragrance wafting from the courtyard.
"Qin Huairu, go and steam some more steamed bread. I'm hungry!"
"This damn idiot Zhu spent so much money on the banquet, but he didn't even think of buying something for us. How shameless."
"Mom, didn't you just have dinner?" Qin Huairu muttered reluctantly.
With the corn flour that was just bought at noon today, they steamed seven steamed buns in total. Jia Zhang ate three of them by herself, and then took away two, saying that they were left for Jia Dongxu, so Qin Huairu only ate two steamed buns at noon.
Qin Huairu was not hungry yet, but Jia Zhang started shouting first.
"What's wrong with just eating? Can't you be hungry? I work so hard every day. You don't understand if you don't go to work." Jia Zhang, relying on her job as a manure cart driver, started yelling at Qin Huairu.
Got it!
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu got up and went to heat up the steamed bread.
There were exactly two left, one for Jia Zhang and one for her.
The wedding banquet didn’t end until around 2:00 p.m., and although everyone was working hard to prepare the feast, there was still a lot of food left on the table.
This made the people who came to the banquet in the courtyard very worried.
When a banquet is held in the courtyard, the leftovers on the table actually belong to the host.
But if there aren’t many leftovers from the wedding banquet, it’s okay for them to pack them up and take them back, and the host family won’t say anything if they see it.
But there is at least half a pot of food left, so it would be a bit too much to pack it up and take it back.
So I just stuffed as much as possible into my stomach.
It’s just like the Liu Guangfu brothers, their stomachs are already full and the food is almost up to their throats, but they still don’t want to put down their chopsticks.
But there was no way out, the wedding banquet was over and they had to leave.
Almost all the gentlemen who came to the wedding banquet drank some wine, and after the banquet they drank tea and chatted.
The women spontaneously helped Sha Zhu clean up the house. After they were done, they sat down to eat melon seeds and chat.
Xu Damao couldn't sit still, so he went home, got a few decks of playing cards, and asked Chen Jun to play poker with him.
Liu Lan's family got up and said goodbye at around three o'clock.
Sha Zhu quickly asked He Yushui to take out the things that had been prepared in advance.
What about the bright red towel, porcelain basin, and small bags of peanut and melon seed candies?
There isn't much, but it seems sincere.
"Zhu Zi, I'm leaving my Liu Lan to you. This girl has a stubborn temper. If she bullies you, come to my house and I'll take care of it for you." Liu Lan's mother held Zhu Zi's hand and said reluctantly.
Before getting married, people urged me to go on blind dates and get married every day, but after I got married, I felt even worse.
"Don't worry, I will never let Liu Lan suffer any injustice."
Although there was no fee for changing one's statement these days, the marriage had already been concluded, so Sha Zhu simply changed his statement.
"Liu Lan, live a good life and don't let your parents worry." Liu Lan's mother gave Liu Lan a few instructions and left with her family.
Sha Zhu and Liu Lan escorted the person all the way to the entrance of the alley.
"Wife, let's go home and have a rest. I'm exhausted after this day." Sha Zhu twisted his neck, looking a little tired.
Liu Lan glared at him angrily: "What are you thinking? It's daytime now!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu chuckled a few times, scratched his head and said, "Just lie back down. Xu Damao is still playing cards in the yard. With his mean temper, he will definitely go and knock on the door!"
The most taboo thing during exercise is to be interrupted. If it leaves a bad psychological shadow, you will be doomed.
Seeing this, Liu Lan reluctantly nodded: "Then you go to sleep for a while, I'll clean up the room."
"Okay, the gift money is in the cabinet beside the bed. Just count it and put it away. I will give you my salary in the future."
It must be said that Sha Zhu really loves women.
As soon as they got married, they handed over the family's financial power to Liu Lan.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone who was playing in the yard dispersed and went home.
Qin Huairu walked out of the house, glanced at the situation in the middle courtyard, and then walked towards Sha Zhu's house with peace of mind.
She wasn't going to look for Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu and Liu Lan were both at home, so if she went to knock on the door she would just get scolded.
“Dong dong~dong dong dong~~”
"Who?"
"It's me, Yushui. I have something to ask you."
Qin Huairu?
He Yushui opened the door puzzledly and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door.
Qin Huairu looked a little embarrassed at this moment, with slightly red eyes, as if she had just cried.
"Sister Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Huairu glanced to the side nervously, then whispered, "Can we go inside and talk?"
Although he was asking, his body had already started to squeeze into the house.
He Yushui's room was very small, with a big bed in the room, leaving almost no space.
Qin Huairu didn't hesitate either. She sat down on the bed and started wiping her tears.
He Yushui felt a little unhappy when she saw this. Qin Huairu was too unceremonious. Why did she sit on his bed as soon as she came in?
"Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"
"Yushui, there must be a lot of leftover food from the banquet at your house. Can you lend me some? My family is out of food and money, and we still haven't found dinner."
"The child was crying because of hunger. As a mother, I felt so sad when I saw it."
