Zhou Chengsen carried Ruan Tang across the brazier, and someone couldn't help but whistle.
When Ruan Tang was put down by Zhou Chengsen, her face turned red and she didn't dare to look at the people around her.
Zhou Chengsen then took Ruan Tang to the new house on the second floor. He had previously slept in the master bedroom on the first floor, but the second floor had a better view, so now that they were married, the master bedroom was arranged on the second floor.
The two returned to the room, and a cousin from the village who was not married yet smiled and moved a stool for Ruan Tang to sit on: "Second sister-in-law, please sit down."
"Thank you." Ruan Tang sat down with a smile and gave her a red envelope.
Another little cousin offered Ruan Tang a cup of tea with both hands: "Second sister-in-law, please have some tea."
"Thank you." Ruan Tang took it with both hands and smiled, took a sip, and gave the other party a red envelope.
The two cousins completed their tasks and stood aside with a smile.
Zhou Chengsen said to Ruan Tang, "Take a rest. I'll go and greet the guests. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Zhou Chengsen said to the others in the room, "You guys talk to Xiaotang."
There was a group of female comrades there, so Zhou Chengsen couldn't stay for long.
There were many other people in the room, some were Ruan Tang's colleagues, cousins, bridesmaids, etc., and there were also cousins and nieces from the village. Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying were also there, all of them staying in the room to accompany Ruan Tang because they were afraid that Ruan Tang would be bored.
Everyone let him do his work.
The room was already packed with people, and the weather was hot, so two fans were not enough. Seeing that there were many people at Ruan Tang's place, they would not be bored, so the cousins went to the living room to get some fruits, cakes, candies, melon seeds, etc. to treat everyone, and poured everyone a cup of tea. After serving, they left so that they could talk more conveniently.
Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying stayed with Ruan Tang obediently and didn't go anywhere! Their mission today was to accompany Ruan Tang.
And today they are the flower girls. They were throwing flowers all the way when Ruan Tang came in just now!
Zhang Fuyan and Ou Minhua were bridesmaids. They had been here before and had already seen the view of the sea view room.
Many of Ruan Tang’s colleagues had never seen it, and they were shocked by the sea view outside.
"Xiaotang, the scenery of your house is so beautiful. If it were me, no matter how tired I am after get off work, I would go home."
"It's so beautiful, I love this kind of house!"
"This is the most beautiful house I've ever seen. It's my dream! Doctor Ruan, are your lovers and brothers still married? Introduce them to me! I want to marry here and be your neighbor and sister-in-law!"
Everyone laughed.
…
There was laughter and joy in the new house, and downstairs was also bustling with activity.
The two large iron pots in the kitchen had been cooking all morning, and vegetables were stewed in large aluminum pots on two coal stoves in the yard.
The courtyard was full of people washing vegetables and chopping meat.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei were also busy greeting guests, pouring tea and water for them, registering gifts, etc.
Mr. Mai, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were taking care of the triplets in the next yard.
The triplets have just learned to walk, but they are still unstable. They run after the family dog every day, bumping into each other. They are not afraid of the pain and do not cry when they fall. They get up and continue to chase the dog, shouting “Woof woof, woof woof”.
They don't let adults help them, they insist on walking on their own, but they can't walk steadily.
My brother got a bump on his head yesterday.
Three middle-aged and elderly people followed them cautiously.
Old Mai bent down and supported Xiaobao, following behind her, but he didn't dare to touch her with his hands. He felt like he couldn't even straighten his waist!
There were too many people here and the yard was too messy, so Jiang Xia asked them to take the triplets to play next door.
Today, many uncles, brothers and aunts from the village came to help prepare the banquet.
Marriage is a major event in life and the whole village must be invited.
If you hold a banquet in the village, you don’t have to worry about being reported.
Everyone in the village has the surname Zhou. They are all descendants of the same great-grandfather. When you go out, you meet uncles and brothers.
In recent years, every household invites the entire village to celebrate the wedding of their children.
If someone invites you and you don't invite them, they might get angry and report you.
However, considering the incident in Beijing, the dishes ordered by Zhou's father this time were much more low-key.
Originally, Zhou's father planned to buy some lobsters, one big lobster for each table, as well as abalone, fish maw, shark fin and so on.
Now only lobster and abalone are left, shark fin and fish maw are gone. It is just the same as the dishes for the usual banquets held by the villagers, with twelve dishes, some fish and shrimps are replaced with more expensive ones, and the portions are larger. The portions of each dish are especially large, trying to make everyone happy.
When a banquet is held in the village, villagers will pack up the leftover food and take it home without worrying about waste.
The banquet began, and Zhou Chengsen went upstairs to invite the bridesmaids to go downstairs for dinner.
He also wanted to serve tea and wine to the guests at the banquet together with Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang changed into another set of clothes and took off all the jewelry given to her by her parents' elders when she entered the house, leaving only a set of pearl jewelry bought by Zhou Chengsen.
A total of twenty tables have been prepared for today's buffet.
The uncles and aunts in the village occupied about ten tables, and then there were relatives from the family, Zhou Chengsen’s colleagues, and Ruan Tang’s colleagues, which added up to about ten tables.
When having a banquet, relatives are always arranged to eat first, because most of them are not from the same village, and they have to walk home after eating, and they are afraid that it will be too dark and unsafe to walk at night.
Including Ruan Tang’s colleagues and Zhou Chengsen’s colleagues, these people arranged for them to have a meal first, and then sent them back by bus after the meal.
After the relatives and colleagues have finished eating, it is the turn of the uncles and brothers in the village.
The last group to eat the feast were Ruan Tang’s maternal family, Jiangxia’s maternal family, her maternal grandparents’ family, and her own family.
My grandparents’ family lives too far away, so we’re staying overnight, so we’ll eat last.
Ruan Tang's family and Jiang Xia's family were not in a hurry because they had their own cars and could go back later.
During the meal, Jiang Xia sat with her family, and also sat at the same table with Zhang Rong, Zhang Rui and Li Qiufeng.
Zhang Rui and Zhang Rong also came, but they didn't arrive until almost time for dinner.
There were already ten people at Jiang Xia's table. There were five people from her family including Zhang Fuyan, and with her and Zhou Chenglei, there were seven. Then there were Zhang Rong, Zhang Rui and Li Qiufeng, making a total of ten.
Tan Yudai pulled Li Qiuyue and squeezed in, and tried to get a seat next to Zhang Rui.
Zhou Chenglei held his sister in his arms, pulled down his daughter's hand that was pointing at the dishes on the table, and said, "Cousin, there's still room at my eldest brother's table, no need to squeeze."
The eldest aunt also came over in time to pull the unruly daughter-in-law and daughter away: "I have reserved a seat for you, come sit over there. There is no room here, don't squeeze."
The eldest cousin's wife avoided her mother-in-law's hand and said, "It's okay. I'll squeeze in here for a while. I have something to ask Xiao Zhang."
My aunt is so angry that she almost dies. It has come to this. Some people are just thick-skinned.
Ruan Tang's family and Jiang Xia's family were both there, so she was not afraid of being embarrassed.
Now people from other tables looked over and some even shouted that there were still seats available.
Everyone was watching, and my aunt couldn't force them to leave. She warned them in a low voice, "Can you guys sit over there? Don't make me angry!"
Zhang Rui knew that this kind of people would not give up until they achieved their goal. Of course, he did not want to squeeze in with them, so he said, "Eating is more important. It's the same if you tell me what you want to say later, sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Tan Yudai gave up: "We'll talk about it later."
Zhang Rui nodded.
The two of them then left with their aunt.
After they left, Li Qiufeng whispered to Zhang Rui, "Leave quickly after dinner. Don't pay any attention to them. They are definitely up to no good."
"It's okay, I can handle it." Zhang Rui picked up a piece of fish, picked out the bones and put it in her bowl. (End of this chapter)
