On the day of the wedding banquet.
The courtyard was bustling with activity.
The Zhou family was overjoyed.
At the appointed time, the handsome groom rode his brand-new bicycle, carrying his beautiful bride, around the courtyard.
Newlyweds who marry within the compound all make their public appearance in this manner.
Following behind was a string of beaming candy-giving boys, each carrying a bag of wedding candy and handing it out to everyone they met.
A similarly charming and beautiful woman followed behind the newlyweds' car, carrying a small megaphone and playing a series of incomprehensible verses on a loop.
"Happy Sheep! Happy Sheep!"
"Ninth Brother is wonderful, Ninth Sister-in-law is beautiful, today we can eat candy without coupons, and our marriage is a joyous occasion."
"Offer congratulations, pay respects, and let us all send our joy to the newlyweds, wishing them a happy and healthy baby soon."
The preceding words were quite festive, and everyone listened with a smile, offering their blessings.
The rest...
"Everyone can offer their congratulations once. Ninth Sister-in-law has given birth to a baby, so I'll be an aunt for once. Many children bring many blessings. Come and offer your congratulations!"
The bride blushed bright red, and the groom was thankful for his strong legs, otherwise he would have ended up upside down on his wedding day.
She even added words when we called her at home, even though this wasn't part of the routine.
Chou Chou and Xiao Shi couldn't understand the newcomer's awkwardness, so they laughed and agreed.
"Having children brings many blessings. Shishi is an aunt today, and we'll be uncles tomorrow."
Everyone: ...They are completely outmatched by this speed of reproduction.
The Song brothers understood. Originally, they were supposed to be lining up with Ugly Little Master to distribute wedding candies, but they quietly stepped back a few steps to distance themselves from them.
We don't know them, really.
The compound wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either. After walking around it three times, everyone in the compound knew that the Zhou family was having a happy occasion today, and it was a double celebration.
I had heard about the Zhou family switching babies before, and everyone was comparing the biological daughter and the adopted daughter.
Seeing it today, well, it's quite unique.
The previous one wasn't as good-looking as this one, but at least he was smart.
Although a family like the Zhou family wouldn't need to use their daughter's marriage to maintain their relationship, they had still pampered her for eighteen years, wasting human and material resources, and then directly abandoned her in exchange for someone like this. Everyone suspected that the Zhou family had some unspeakable secret.
Those who have met Xie Lin speculate that this handsome son-in-law of the Zhou family might have an even more powerful background.
The Zhou family was unaware of these words; the household was bustling with activity.
The head chef was a chef from the restaurant, and the patriarch assisted him while learning to cook.
Once all the dishes were ready, the newlyweds and the team distributing wedding candies returned.
Then everyone heard Shishi's unauthorized addition of words and burst into laughter.
Grandma Han, who was washing dishes, smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared from her grin; she loved hearing that phrase.
Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you should do whatever makes you happy.
"Shishi, Xiao Kong, Xiao Feng, Chou Chou, Xiao Shi, come back quickly, wash your hands and eat some crispy rice crust. It's fresh out of the pot, fragrant and crispy, and the best!"
Upon hearing that there was food, the bride and groom abandoned everything else and ran frantically into the house.
"Ahhh, Shishi wants to eat, Shishi wants to eat."
"Little Master wants to eat too."
"And there's Chou Chou, and there's Chou Chou! Brother Kong, Brother Feng, hurry up!"
Zhou Tong and Su Lan exchanged a glance and burst out laughing at the same time.
At first, hearing those words was a bit awkward, but after hearing them a lot, I became numb to them, and later I even started reciting them to myself.
Having a son early is a blessing, and many children bring many happiness; it's indeed a good thing.
They've already imagined having five, six, seven, or eight children, and the lively scene of the kids chattering and calling out "Mom and Dad!"
"Xiao Tong, quickly take Xiao Lan back to the new house to rest. You'll need to make noodles first when the banquet starts."
"Okay, Grandma."
Hearing the children's noise, the parents brought out five portions of rice crackers from the kitchen and distributed them to the five children. Seeing that there were still some children peeking out from outside, they went back into the kitchen and brought out the rest to distribute to them.
It's very delicious with added salt and oil.
"Wow, stinky egg, this is so delicious, let me give you a bite."
"You really want me to bite you? Don't you think my mouth is too big?"
"Hmm, you can only take one bite."
The patriarch smiled without saying a word, then obediently opened his mouth and took a bite.
Shishi looked at the large gap and pouted.
Her mouth is still so big.
I'm happy today, so I won't hold a grudge against that jerk.
Divide the limited amount of crispy rice into three portions, and eat one portion yourself.
"Stinky Egg, give the eldest and second eldest a snake bite each, so they can share in the good fortune."
May Ninth Sister-in-law have a son soon, and may Second Brother also have a son soon, and may she have a son soon too.
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow. "Little girl, are you being so generous today? I thought you'd have an attack if I took such a big bite."
Something's not right.
"Doesn't Shishi like to eat it?"
That shouldn't be the case; I was enjoying my meal just now.
"I love it! Today is Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law's wedding, it's a joyous day. Ninth Sister-in-law is going to have a baby, and Shishi also wants to have a baby, and also wants the second child to have a baby."
Xie Lin: ...So that's why you suddenly became so generous. So that's why you gave him a bite.
This way of thinking is something ordinary people really can't keep up with.
"You eat it, I've already given some to the eldest and second eldest."
You brat, all you ever think about is having eggs. You'd better grow up quickly, or I'll make sure you have them when you're older.
"Okay, then Shishi will have one piece, and you can have one piece."
Well, my obsession with egg waffles has outweighed their deliciousness.
The banquet started on time.
The guests were all Zhou's relatives and friends, along with the hospital's top leaders and other close family members from the compound. All ten tables were full.
Zhou Lie was still in Beijing and couldn't get back in time, but Zhou Heng returned before the banquet started, so it was a family reunion.
I was completely confused by Shishi's line, "Dad, you're back from Beijing!"
