Chapter 26 Holding the banquet and the full moon celebration together? Are you crazy?!

"Xixi is back~"

Mrs. Jiang was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard, basking in the sun. When she saw the two of them enter, she quickly greeted them.

"Madam, I'm back. What shall we have for dinner tonight?"

"You little glutton," Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, tapping Jiang Xixi's nose in response.

"Lai Cheng brought back half a lamb from Meng City this time. We'll have roasted whole lamb tonight. We're all in for a treat. Your master's roasted whole lamb is absolutely amazing. It was his roasted whole lamb that tricked me into marrying him back then."

Mrs. Jiang looked on with a look of reminiscence.

Before, she was just like Xixi, a gluttonous little girl...

Wei Laicheng was somewhat shocked to see this.

Are the teacher's wife and daughter-in-law already this familiar with each other?

The thought only lingered in his mind for a moment before Wei Laicheng chased it away.

"Master's wife, why do you only see my wife and not your dear disciple behind her?" Wei Laicheng joked.

Mrs. Jiang laughed and scolded, "Dear eldest disciple, how cheesy! Yes, I only see my disciple's wife, I can't see you, you big rascal."

"Teacher's wife, you have really hurt my feelings."

Wei Laicheng, with a heart-clutching expression, collapsed into Jiang Xixi's arms, looking truly as if he were heartbroken.

Jiang Xixi sighed helplessly; she finally understood.

Wei Laicheng is just an immature boy. As for Jiang Yurou's claims about ignoring him and using emotional abuse, she doesn't know where she got that information from.

As they were talking, wisps of smoke rose from the kitchen, and an enticing aroma wafted over.

"It smells so good!"

"The chef's skills have remained consistent over the years. However, even a delicious whole roasted lamb needs its perfect accompaniment. Please wait."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Laicheng dashed off to the bedroom with lightning speed.

Seeing the confusion on Jiang Xixi's face, Mrs. Jiang smiled and answered her.

"That brat, no one can eat as much as him. He's definitely going to find something to eat with the whole roasted lamb later."

"You should try some too. I must say, whatever that brat manages to whip up is actually really delicious." As if she had thought of something, Mrs. Jiang moved her lips again, seemingly still wanting more.

Sure enough, after the whole roasted lamb was brought out, Wei Laicheng followed behind, carrying two plates of food, and walked towards them with a smug look on his face.

As soon as he sat down, the talkative Wei Laicheng couldn't help but chatter.

"Master and Mistress, you two should try my combination~"

"Get lost! Your teacher's wife and I just like the original flavor. You can make it for your wife, don't worry about us."

Master Jiang cursed inwardly, "You little brat, I haven't even had a chance to show off to my wife yet, and you're already stealing my job."

I painstakingly prepared this whole roasted lamb, and I must let my wife taste the authentic flavor from the very first bite.

Mrs. Jiang and Wei Laicheng both rolled their eyes at Mr. Jiang.

You old geezer/you stinky master, don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

"Laicheng, you just take care of your wife. We two old folks will eat on our own, so you don't need to worry about us." After all, she was his wife of many years, so Mrs. Jiang stepped in to save face for her master.

"Hmph, wife, if they won't eat it, I'll cook it for you."

Wei Laicheng picked up something that looked like a flatbread, spread an unknown sauce on it, put a piece of white scallion on top, tore off a piece of crispy-skinned, tender, and juicy meat from the whole roasted lamb, rolled it up quickly with both hands, and handed it to Jiang Xixi.

"Wife, you should try it."

Meeting Wei Laicheng's expectant gaze, Jiang Xixi stuffed the rolled pancake into her mouth, and as her upper and lower teeth touched, the rich juice overflowed.

It smells good; that was Jiang Xixi's first impression.

The aroma of the meat and the unique flavor of the sauce blend together to create a distinctive and delicious taste.

I have to say, this is much tastier than the whole roasted lamb that Jiang Xixi ate in her previous life.

First of all, the sheep of this era were naturally raised on grasslands, and their meat quality was far superior to that of sheep raised on feed in the 21st century.

In addition, Chef Jiang's skills are superb. The roasted meat has a perfect balance of skin and meat. With the special sauce that Wei Laicheng brought out, all these ingredients combined create a dish that has both great texture and flavor.

Absolutely amazing!

Jiang Xixi gave Wei Laicheng a thumbs up after eating.

Wei Laicheng smiled so broadly, his eyes almost disappeared, just like a child receiving praise.

His wife understands him best.

The group ate heartily, while their neighbor tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"What exactly is the Chiang family eating? It smells delicious."

"What they eat is none of your business. You two seem to get along quite well, so why don't you see them bringing you anything nice to eat?"

"Hmph, what nonsense. Everyone's food is precious. Judging from the aroma, you're probably eating meat. Don't you even have any sense of security about taking advantage of me?"

"You're not talking to me anymore."

The other family didn't have a man as sensible as the male head of the household.

"Honey, look at the neighbors next door, they're so incompetent. They don't even know how to share a good meal with their neighbors. They have no manners at all."

"Dad, Dongdong is clamoring for meat."

The sounds of his grandson crying and his daughter-in-law shouting came from outside the door, and the head of the family felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

You old Jiang, after all these years of being colleagues, you still have no sense of social etiquette.

Since that's how you are, then you can't blame me.

...

"Honey, the chef's skills are getting better and better. I almost lost control tonight."

Wei Laicheng lay on the bed, patting his fat belly with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Jiang Xixi found Wei Laicheng rather cute, just like the last time at the restaurant. She wanted to laugh, and it showed on her face.

"Wei Laicheng, I've noticed that you really enjoy eating, and you're quite knowledgeable about food."

"That's right."

Wei Laicheng was very proud, and he raised his head and patted his chest again.

Haha, this action makes it even funnier.

Knowing his wife was laughing at him, Wei Laicheng laughed along, and the two of them laughed together. Before they knew it, they had rolled to the middle of the bed.

At this moment, the two were still in a rather ambiguous position.

Wei Laicheng was below, and Jiang Xixi was lying on Wei Laicheng's chest. The two looked at each other, exuding an ambiguous feeling.

As they stared at each other, Wei Laicheng couldn't take it anymore. His face turned red, starting from his ears and slowly spreading across his entire cheeks, making him look like a shy young wife.

Jiang Xixi became interested. She used her fingertips to lift Wei Laicheng's chin and slowly blew a breath on his face.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wei Laicheng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Wife, stop making a scene!"

Haha, you tell me not to make trouble, but I won't? I'm going to make trouble anyway. This guy is so funny.

The two argued for a long time, but stopped at the last step.

After all, they had only registered their marriage and hadn't held a wedding banquet yet. Wei Laicheng wanted to wait until Jiang Xixi was officially his wife before doing this.

When it comes to hosting a banquet, there are quite a few things involved. The first thing is to go back to the Wei family.

...

"What? A wedding banquet? Who's going to pay for it? If you ask me, getting a marriage certificate is enough. You're already sleeping together, why bother with a banquet!"

Isn't this a waste of money? If you ask me, you should just wait until the baby is born and combine the baby's one-month celebration with your wedding banquet. It'll save you both trouble and money!

Wei Laicheng had just suggested that his parents inform the relatives, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wei's troublemaking sister-in-law.
