Deng Yuliang did not refuse anymore, and Liu Juan agreed to hand over the kitchen to Shen Xiaobei and the other three.
The two of them went to the rooms and the main room to take care of other chores.
Shen Xiaobei and the other two were busy in the kitchen, happily working all morning, and finally prepared two tables of delicious banquets.
Ma Jiquan, his daughter, Ma Deliang, Du Wenli and Kong Wanwan all arrived at around eleven o'clock, when the banquet was almost ready.
As for Liu Juan's relatives from the Heishui Brigade, even after all the dishes were placed on the table,... not a single person had arrived!
Fan Huifang and Shen Xiaobei couldn't help but feel very strange.
Liu Juan was seen standing at the door and looking around from time to time, as if she was also feeling strange, anxious and embarrassed. Why didn't the relatives she invited come?
"Juan'er, why don't you wait any longer? We have about ten people here, so we can fill a table! Let's start the feast. It's impossible for those who want to come not to arrive by now."
"But, there are two tables for the banquet!"
"It's okay. We can just eat at that table slowly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We wouldn't want to make Captain Ma, Scorer Ma, and my educated youth friends wait and get hungry. They're showing their sincerity by coming here!"
"Okay, okay! No more waiting. Go set off the fireworks and let's have dinner!"
"Okay!"
Seeing that the other table was empty, everyone wanted to ask, but they were afraid of embarrassing Deng Yuliang and Liu Juan and felt it would be undignified.
Everyone tacitly suppressed their doubts and curiosity and did not ask.
However, except Kong Wanwan.
She was not the kind of person who knew how to give others respect, but just as she opened her mouth to ask, before she could finish her words, she was stopped in time by Du Wenli and Fan Huifang.
Liu Juan knew that everyone felt strange and a little embarrassed.
However, she could only pretend not to know. She was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain this to everyone.
What made Liu Juan feel more embarrassed than the table of guests who didn't show up was that on this happy day, her mother-in-law, as her elder, had been in a cold war with her since last night.
Don't say a word to her.
While Deng Yuliang was setting off firecrackers at the door, she had no choice but to knock on her mother-in-law's closed door, and then walked in lightly.
"Mom, do you want to get up and eat with us, or should I bring the food to your room?"
"mom!"
The mother-in-law lay on the bed sideways with her back to Liu Juan, ignoring her.
Liu Juan knew that she was not asleep. She was not deaf. The firecrackers were so loud and there were so many people in the main room. It was impossible for her to fall asleep.
"Mom, how about I bring the food to your room? You didn't eat anything this morning, so you must be hungry."
She called her mother-in-law a few times, but she ignored her and just moved her body slightly. Liu Juan felt a little embarrassed, so she finished talking to herself and walked out.
Then she whispered to Deng Yuliang about her mother-in-law's situation.
After hearing this, Deng Yuliang's expression became a little gloomy. He nodded to Liu Juan, then quickly put on a smile and asked everyone to take a seat and eat.
"Sister-in-law, come and eat quickly!"
"Everyone, come eat. My mother-in-law isn't feeling well and can't come out to eat. I'll bring her some food in. Yuliang, you eat with everyone first. I'll be right over!"
"Okay! Captain Ma, Scorer Ma, Wenli, Huifang, and my three little sisters, let's start eating. Thank you for coming to my and Juan'er's wedding banquet!"
"Let's wait for my sister-in-law to come over, then we can eat together!"
There was only one person at the table, so how could anyone not wait for Liu Juan, the bride, to start the meal together?
Even Ke Xiaoli and Ma Jiquan's daughters, two minors who are usually good eaters, were not in a hurry to pick up their chopsticks.
Seeing that everyone insisted on waiting for her, Liu Juan felt very embarrassed.
He quickly and skillfully picked up some meat and vegetables from another table where no one was eating and put them into a large bowl.
Then she filled a bowl of rice and poured a bowl of soup and brought them to her mother-in-law's room.
Her mother-in-law still ignored her. Liu Juan had no choice but to put down the food, told her to get up and eat later, and then went out to join everyone in the formal meal.
The meal had only just begun when everyone started talking and laughing, livening up the atmosphere.
Grandma Liu Juan walked out of the room, leaning on a wooden stick as a crutch and with a sullen face, as if someone owed her a hundred yuan.
