"Oh dear, I can't give away my two pounds of meat. Shen Bingshan's eyes are indeed sharp. Shen Bingshan, sit next to Sister Qian."
Shishi's words came late, but they did it on purpose, making the most of everything and adding to the atmosphere.
Qian Yuanyuan's shoes didn't have any height-increasing insoles. People of the same height may not be at the same height when sitting. As long as Shen Yijin pays attention, it's not hard to tell.
Shen Yijin immediately sat down, her eyebrows curving into a rare smile.
First place certainly brings joy.
"Wow, Commander Shen found the right wife, awesome!"
It was one of the military wives who shouted, and everyone who thought they had failed suddenly realized what had happened.
The mother proudly declared, "That's right, my son-in-law has to be awesome."
The Shen family was also very happy. As expected of the Shen family members, they had excellent judgment.
Shen Yijin: ...No need to break your leg.
The first place was taken away, and the second place followed closely behind.
"Sister-in-law, this is my wife."
Lu Fan pointed to the bride next to him, his tone equally affirmative.
The audience outside was extremely nervous, especially the Yue and Lu families.
Training at night is one thing, and postponing the wedding night wouldn't be a big deal under normal circumstances. The main problem is that everyone else is getting to eat meat while he can't even get soup. It's so hurtful to his pride!
Shishi squinted at the number plate.
How is that possible?
How could he possibly make the right choice?
Sister Yue was wearing height-increasing insoles.
She grumbled and gestured for Lu Fan to sit down, while secretly observing Yue Yue's shoes.
The military green canvas shoes weren't high-tops, but with insoles added, the ankles that were originally half-submerged in the shoes were now fully exposed, giving the impression of deliberately tiptoeing.
Ah, I see. I miscalculated; I should have covered my feet.
Lu Fan said: Sister-in-law, I understand you to some extent. Everyone in the team knows how mean you are.
Lu Fan was so pleased with himself that he became carried away and whispered to the bride with a big smile on his face.
"Honey, your husband is amazing, isn't he? We don't want those two pounds of meat. We'll buy you five pounds later and make you braised pork. We'll eat it secretly and not give any to your sister-in-law."
Shishi saw his smug little expression, narrowed her eyes, and beckoned Xiaoshi, Xingxing, Shenqin, and Shenzhao over.
Little Fanzi, just you wait, your grandma has another trick up her sleeve.
The grandfather quickly sought advice from his granddaughter's husband.
After a few whispered words, the old man finally realized he had chosen the right wife. He wiped his sweat, held his wife's hand with shame, and watched the other grooms' antics with great interest.
Yun Yousheng, Deng Peng, Wang Dahu, He Aimin, and Zhao Sheng exchanged glances, not feeling ashamed at all about going on a pilgrimage, and tacitly surrounded Lu Fan.
In fact, they had already figured out a solution, and when they heard Lu Fan's method, it was indeed the same.
All 5 people chose correctly.
Even the slow-witted Zhou Shige found the right organization, much to the delight of the Zhou and Shen families.
The game didn't stipulate that grooms couldn't share their experiences with each other, so once one started, another followed, and the previous winners were surrounded.
After discussing it together and probing from the sidelines, the secret of the height-increasing insoles was finally exposed.
Shen Yijin broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, his wife's shoes were original; he hadn't expected this dent at all.
Whether they knew there wouldn't be enough wild boar meat to go around, or everyone was just incredibly shrewd, in the end, they couldn't even give away a single piece of meat.
Shishi was stunned.
"Are you all devils? Don't you like eating meat? Isn't braised pork delicious? Isn't stewed offal flavorful enough? Wouldn't it be better for the two of you to stew it together?"
His urgent four-question barrage, along with his incredulous little expression, made the audience outside burst into laughter.
Xie Lin wanted to laugh but dared not. How could his little wife be so adorable?
My dear, on our wedding night, what meat could be more fragrant than that?
The grooms protested en masse: You are the devil.
It's not about fighting for a steamed bun, it's about saving face. Everyone's eating meat, who wants to fall behind?
He could only grumble in his heart, not daring to say it out loud, for fear that she would change her mind and put him through another test.
The gods heard their prayers.
Shishi chuckled twice, "Alright, that was just the appetizer, now for the main course, brides, get moving."
Grooms: ? ? ? What, there's still something fishy going on?
They were dumbfounded, but the audience was full of anticipation.
What exciting moments will follow?
The brides, who were originally petite and demure, suddenly became incredibly strong and pushed all the grooms out of the hall.
Upon arriving at the open space, Zhou the matchmaker began to speak.
"The bride and groom line up facing each other. Each bride lifts her own veil, but she must do so with her eyes closed. No looking! Anyone who does is a dog."
"After lifting the veil, put it back on your own head. Remember to cover it tightly so that it doesn't get blown off by the wind. Whoever's veil gets blown off by the wind has to run with me tonight."
“I’m carrying twins. If you had any conscience, you wouldn’t have let me run away.”
After the pot was turned upside down and the veil was lifted, the grooms would tie the veil directly to their own heads, making sure it wouldn't blow off.
The stunning brides, reborn, were nearly ruined by the grooms' elaborate head-tying tricks.
Grandma Yue looked at the two horns on her husband's head, covered her mouth and laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Old man, I love today's wedding. Even though my life has been full of hardships, I am content now.
The audience remained silent, arms crossed, waiting for the next part to follow.
Given Shishi's thought process, it's definitely not as simple as just covering her head with a veil to win back her wife.
The glint in their eyes was unmistakable; they wanted to see a good show, a really good show.
Shishi satisfies them.
"For the second challenge, we'll play tug-of-war. The grooms will be divided into 11 teams, with 10 teams having 7 people each and one team having 6 people each, following my little brother's instructions."
"Your partners in the tug-of-war are your brides, your dear wives. They are divided into 11 teams, corresponding to you."
