Chapter 625: What are you laughing at? When in Rome, do as the Romans do (plus more)
It is rare to have a wedding in the village, so there are many people helping out. The old chef we invited skillfully prepared the big pot of rice.
A group of men from the brigade carried the dishes on wooden trays and delivered them to each table.
There were too many people, so we had a buffet.
Soon, all the tables were filled with people.
At this time, the food is not fancy, and it is good enough if it can fill the stomach.
The Lin family had prepared enough meat and vegetables in advance, and the food on the table was very good.
Several educated youth couldn't help swallowing when they saw the meat slices on the plate.
The next second, the chopsticks were immediately extended.
Chen Wanwan swallowed the meat in one bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Delicious!" she said. "Comrade Lin's family is so generous. How much meat is this?"
After taking a bite of the meat, she was almost moved to tears.
The meat is so delicious!
Yu Feiyang pointed to a table not far away and whispered, "Did you see that family? I heard from the villagers that they are also from the Lin family, Comrade Lin Tang's aunt. Their whole family works in the meat processing factory. Can't they get some more meat for my niece's engagement?"
He was referring to Lin Anan's family.
"Yes, that's true." The speaker was Meng Mingyuan. Although he looked gentle and intellectual, he was very fierce when grabbing the meat.
Dong Xinyi's family was of average means and they seldom ate meat. He never expected that he could eat meat after coming to the countryside. He almost cried while eating.
"The meat is so delicious, woooo..."
He clearly came to the countryside to suffer for his sister, so how could he still have meat to eat? It doesn't make sense!
Xu Hongyuan saw Dong Xinyi's expression, guessed his thoughts, and twitched his lips. "How is work on weekdays?"
It's like a basin of cold water poured over your head.
Dong Xinyi's expression froze slightly.
Going to work? At this important moment of eating meat, whoever mentions it will be rude.
In fact, the educated youth in Shuangshan Brigade are diligent and easy to manage.
Perhaps it was because they were given a prestige when they first arrived. The brigade built new houses for them and gave them subsidies to work as library managers. After that, no matter how dirty or tiring the work was, they never complained.
Yu Feiyang buried his head in his food and took a moment to say, "Even food can't stop your mouths."
When the other educated youth saw the pile of food in his bowl, they stopped talking nonsense and started to fill their stomachs.
Life in the countryside is hard. It’s hard to get enough to eat, and eating well... is even harder.
Not many people paid attention to what was happening at the educated youth table.
At the Lin family's table, Lin Tang began to formally introduce Gu Yingzhou to the guests.
In fact, the two sides had known each other for a long time, but there was no formal introduction. After getting engaged, they became a family.
In the village where she grew up, Lin Tang was open and honest, holding Gu Yingzhou's hand and introducing someone to him.
"...This is my aunt and uncle."
Lin Anan is a married woman and it is impossible for her to come back often. Once she comes back, she sticks to Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen.
At this time, I was sitting at the same table with the old couple.
The two boys in the family were seduced away by Lin Zhicheng.
Seeing her niece holding Gu Yingzhou's hand, Lin Anan teased, "Look at Tangtang, she's holding Yingzhou's hand tightly."
An ordinary person would have let go of her hand out of embarrassment.
Lin Tang held her hand without changing his expression, and even changed from holding hands to interlocking their fingers.
Why can't I hold my fiancé's hand?!
After Gu Yingzhou noticed it, he glanced at the little girl with a smile in his eyes.
He quickly retracted his gaze and said seriously to the people at the table who were making fun of him, "You must have seen it wrong, it was me who was holding Tangtang."
Changed the words by the way.
Lin Anan seemed to have not expected that this handsome young man would be so protective of his child, and was slightly stunned.
Immediately, I was happy for Tangtang.
"We were mistaken." She said this with a mischievous smile on her face.
Okay, okay, give these two young people some face.
Lin Tang said calmly, "That's how it is."
He remained calm, just like the real thing.
Gu Yingzhou couldn't help laughing and gently pinched the little girl's fingertips, "Go on."
"Yeah." Lin Tang nodded.
Afterwards, the two continued to recognize each other and the man changed his address.
In order to adapt to the local customs, the noble-looking Gu Yingzhou kept calling "Dad, Mom" and "Grandpa and Grandma", which made Lin Tang laugh.
...So funny!
Gu Yingzhou heard the snickering and looked helpless.
"What are you laughing at? When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He said calmly.
He doesn't mind what he shouts, but he has to make his father-in-law and mother-in-law feel comfortable.
Xia Yunxiu recorded all these scenes with his photographic and video equipment, leaving behind countless images.
In just a moment, a roll of film was used up.
Gu Yingzhou was already very familiar with the Lin family, so the introduction and recognition process was over quickly.
The two newlyweds finally sat down.
Lin Tang moved his feet and frowned slightly.
"Are your feet uncomfortable?" Gu Yingzhou asked with concern.
"Yes, a little bit." Lin Tang nodded.
She wore a new pair of leather shoes today, which were brought to her by her third brother from the provincial capital. She had never worn them before and didn't know they would rub her feet.
Gu Yingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back to the house to change your shoes."
Without waiting for Lin Tang to speak, he looked at the other people at the table and greeted them politely.
"Tangtang and I will be leaving for now."
After saying that, he put his arm around Lin Tang's shoulders and took her back to the house to change her shoes.
Everyone sitting at the table was from the Lin family, and they were all happy to see this scene.
Gao Ping smiled widely, "Xiu Li, are you satisfied with this son-in-law?"
"Of course I am satisfied." Li Xiuli affirmed.
Everyone thought she was going to praise Gu Yingzhou, but they were all wrong.
"Tangtang's vision, is there any need to doubt it?"
After praising his daughter, he praised his son-in-law, saying, "Yingzhou has good taste."
Su Qi and Gu Ran were there, and she praised them both impartially.
Lin Anan laughed, "Second sister-in-law, why don't you just say that they are a perfect match?"
Li Xiuli slapped her thigh and said, "That's right."
Everyone burst into laughter.
In the house.
Gu Yingzhou took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. Before he walked over, the little girl's soft voice rang out, "No slippers!"
She’s getting engaged today, and she’s wearing slippers…are you serious?
"We're at home, it's comfortable to wear slippers." Gu Yingzhou rarely ignored Lin Tang. He stroked her soft hair and whispered, "Be good."
Facing the man's gentle eyes like spring water, Lin Tang was silent, muttering, "The slippers are not good-looking."
He paused and added softly, "...wearing slippers makes you look shorter."
Gu Yingzhou almost laughed out loud.
He pulled up his pants and half squatted down.
He took off the little girl's leather shoes and comforted her, "It looks good."
As for what she said next, I just pretended I didn't hear it, because... I couldn't reply.
Seeing that Lin Tang's heel was rubbed raw, Gu Yingzhou frowned slightly and asked, "Where's the medicine?"
"In the cabinet." Lin Tang pointed.
Gu Yingzhou walked over, found a tube of medicine, squatted down again, dipped his fingertips in the medicine and applied it to her feet.
"Does it hurt?"
His movements were very gentle, and Lin Tang was ticklish, so she moved her toes uncomfortably.
"It doesn't hurt, hurry up."
Gu Yingzhou felt a little anxious when he heard the voice.
I looked up in surprise and saw that the little girl's face was flushed red.
One person was sitting, the other looked up, and as they looked at each other, a slight click was heard outside the window.
