Chapter 149: Feast
After Wang Jiandong said this, Xia Zhipeng, who was alone and distressed, could no longer continue to feel resentful, nor could he laugh happily. The expression on his face was stiff, neither going up nor down, and finally he looked ahead with a stiff smile.
Ning Xiyue secretly gave Wang Jiandong a thumbs up: When it comes to choking people, you are the one, Comrade Jiandong.
Wang Jiandong, who has kept his achievements to himself, smiled back and slowly turned his gaze to the bride and groom in front of him.
When today's two protagonists came out, everyone else at the table turned their attention to the front.
The team leader came on stage to preside over a simple ceremony. A red cloth was hung in front of him, and a picture of the Chairman was pinned to the middle with a bamboo clip as the background wall for the ceremony.
The captain shouted "start" from above, and everyone quieted down and looked up.
"Fire a salute."
The people who had been waiting to set off firecrackers at the door lit them. The crackling sound of firecrackers made everyone cover their ears unconsciously and watch with a smile on their faces.
The sound of firecrackers stopped.
The captain started the second item, shouting, "Newcomers, take your positions."
Wang Fenglan and Li Jiandang, each with a big red flower on their chest, walked towards the wedding hall where the Chairman's portrait was hung.
"My poor baby, he can't see it with his own eyes, oh my~"
Suddenly, a howling sounded and continued to ring out.
"Oh my god~"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Ning Xiyue saw that Li Cuihua from next door had sat on the wall between the two courtyards at some point.
With his hair loose and a crying tone in his voice, he slapped his thighs as if he was singing a folk song, howling non-stop, and even changing the tone of his voice.
The yard, which had been quiet because of the ceremony, turned out to be a good thing for her.
Her deliberately prolonged howling could be heard throughout the yard, and as she sat on a high place, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
The guests in the yard were talking in low voices.
Wang Dazui looked grim, with his hands on his hips, cursing, and looking for a bamboo pole in the yard: "Li Cuihua, if you dare to ruin my son's banquet, I will beat you to death."
The bamboo pole was swung over, but Li Cuihua dodged it nimbly.
As the host of the wedding, the captain was interrupted just after taking the first step. His dignity was challenged. When he saw that the person was a repeat offender who had just been released, his face turned pale and he roared, "Li Cuihua, shut up."
Li Cuihua was frightened by the captain. Her howling voice trembled and then stopped, but she still sat on the wall without moving.
She just felt a lump in her heart and couldn't swallow it. Her daughter Xiu Li was exiled to a farm for life, while Li Jiandang happily married a new wife. She felt sad.
"Li Cuihua, get out of here."
Wu Laogen stood beside the banquet and yelled angrily, then hurried home with his son to catch the man.
He originally wanted to ease the relationship between the neighbors, so Wu Laogen and Wu Dazhuang, father and son, shamelessly came to the banquet.
They even locked up Li Cuihua for fear that she would come out and cause trouble, and no one knew how she escaped.
Wu Laogen has completely lost face today. The entire team has already distanced themselves from his family, and now they are probably even more unpopular.
Everyone stared at Li Cuihua.
Liu Yao, who was standing next to Ning Xiyue, looked at the person on the wall, then looked at Wang Fenglan who looked unhappy, and sighed.
"It's really not easy for Sister Fenglan. She's getting married and yet something like this ruins her mood. What will we do if Li Cuihua continues to make trouble?"
"I won't continue to make trouble." Ning Xiyue shook her head, her eyes fixed on the tip of the ladder that had just appeared next to Li Cuihua, who was sitting on the wall. "Wu Laogen and his son are next to her, and she just wanted to disgust people. Now her goal has been achieved."
On the top of the wall, Wu Laogen stepped on the ladder that Li Cuihua used to climb up, and Wu Dazhuang stepped on a new ladder to climb up. The two of them dragged Li Cuihua down.
Li Cuihua did not resist and went down obediently following the force.
Under the watchful eyes of Li's relatives, Li Cuihua was locked up in the house again. The father and son promised to guard the door and prevent her from causing any damage, and only then did they let it go.
After this incident, the father and son were too embarrassed to attend the banquet.
"I'll come find you after today." The captain said this before returning to Li Jiandang's house to continue hosting the banquet.
Li Cuihua's move really disgusted Li Jiandang's family, and the smiles on their faces were not as sincere as at the beginning.
After the farce was over, Wang Dazui turned around and forced a smile on his face as he looked at the guests: "Keep going, no one will disturb you now."
"It's time for the bride and groom to appear. Let's welcome them." All the guests cooperated by clapping and calling out to the bride and groom out of respect, trying their best to ignore the previous unpleasant events.
As the ceremony continued, Ning Xiyue noticed that the smile on Wang Fenglan's face was very forced, and she was afraid that something was wrong.
Li Jiandang looked unhappy, but he still had to comfort the bride Wang Fenglan next to him.
I'm afraid that the newlyweds Wang Fenglan and Li Jiandang will remember what happened today for the rest of their lives. It's disgusting that such an important moment in their lives was ruined by someone, which will be a knot in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
After choosing Li Jiandang, Wang Fenglan should have anticipated today's situation.
Today's banquet can be considered a small one. If Wu Xiuli had not been arrested, today's banquet would have been even more embarrassing, and it might even have been impossible to hold. Fortunately, she was arrested, which saved them a lot of trouble.
As the saying goes, no matter whether it is good or bad, you have to finish the path you choose even if you cry.
Ning Xiyue could only wish Wang Fenglan well and hope she would be happy.
The subsequent ceremony also went quickly. After bowing to the portrait of Comrade Chairman, the team leader took the Red Book and read a few simple sentences before it ended.
Everyone clapped their hands and said congratulations.
Liu Yao: "I hope Sister Fenglan will be happy."
"Well, I hope she is happy." Ning Xiyue nodded and applauded.
"Everyone, we are now officially starting the meal, please enjoy your meal." Wang Dazui and his wife stood up and shouted.
"good."
This sound is the loudest, and this moment is the happiest and most anticipated scene for everyone.
All waiting for the feast.
The dishes were brought to the table one after another, and everyone at each table was holding chopsticks and waiting to eat.
The people at Ning Xiyue's table were all educated youth and were relatively polite. It was a banquet scene that Ning Xiyue had never seen before in modern times. They picked up their chopsticks and ate in an orderly manner.
But the table next to them amazed Ning Xiyue. As soon as a dish was served, the plates were empty within seconds, especially the meat dishes. The chopsticks were flying everywhere.
There were only a few slices of meat in each meat dish, and the people at the table almost fought over the meat.
Two people were holding a piece of meat at the same time and neither of them was willing to give in.
One of them stared and said, "This is my meat."
The other did not give in at all: "My chopsticks arrived first, so they are mine."
"Hey, stop grabbing it, look, the dumplings are coming."
The two of them missed each other.
In the end, the piece of meat was snatched away by another aunt who was very capable. She raised a victorious smile, then divided the meat into two halves, half for herself and half for her husband.
Wang Mengmeng, who was sitting on the right side of Ning Xiyue, touched her and reminded her in a low voice: "Xiyue, eat quickly, look to the right."
Ning Xiyue looked over as Wang Mengmeng reminded her.
The people at the table on the right were already eyeing the dishes on their table, stealing glances at them. Some of them were even holding take-away bags in their hands, ready to take something. If no new dishes were served, they would probably come over to this table to eat and take away.
Seeing this, Ning Xiyue's chopsticks moved quickly. She had to eat back the gift.
The other educated youth also lowered their heads and ate with all their might.
There aren't many opportunities like today to eat so many dishes at once, so take this opportunity to eat more.
Not to mention that the Li family’s banquet was pretty good, with quite a few meat dishes, and it was obvious that a lot of money was spent.
But the fighting power of their table was not good enough after all. After everyone had finished eating and put down their chopsticks, there was still a lot of food on the plates on the table.
Liu Yao held her stomach and shook her head: "No, I ate too much today, my stomach is so bloated."
"If you can't eat, then don't eat. If you insist on holding on, try eating a hawthorn." Wang Mengmeng said disdainfully, but she reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of dried hawthorn slices and handed them to everyone: "Here, two slices each, it helps digestion."
When Ning Xiyue saw the hawthorn, the memory of Wang Mengmeng eating hawthorn and making her teeth ache suddenly came to her mind. It was so vivid that her teeth ached. She sat a little to the left and refused manually: "Thank you, my stomach is not bloated."
