"The bride appears!"
Everyone at the banquet cheered, and all the children ran over and crowded together just to see the bride.
The educated youth couldn't help but look up, wanting to take a look at the protagonist of today's sumptuous banquet.
Ding ding—the bicycle bell comes from far away.
The bride, with a red flower in her ear and red makeup on her lips, was wearing red clothes. She sat on the back of the groom's bicycle and rode around the village before returning home.
She got off the bicycle, walked slowly across the banquet hall and headed home with a shy smile, facing everyone's gaze.
When Zhu Yu looked up and saw that face, he was stunned.
Wasn't that the person he'd been thinking about day and night, the one his heart had stirred in countless dreams? The next time he saw her was at her wedding banquet...
Faced with a table full of delicious food, he lost his passion to grab the food and began to lose his appetite.
I felt even more upset when I heard the people at my table and the next table talking enthusiastically about the bride's beauty.
"Wanghuo got a great deal, marrying such a rich daughter-in-law!"
"What a bargain! Her family is so powerful, she'll be in a better place if she goes to her husband's family!"
"Nonsense! Look, none of the man's family showed up today. Maybe Jianzhong is marrying into the Hua family!"
Everyone burst into laughter as he spoke, and the banquet was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Li Zhigao said:
"The bride doesn't look like a country girl at all. Why didn't I notice that? If I had taken action earlier, what would this country bumpkin have done to me?"
The female educated youth He Huilian snorted coldly: "Come on, you are not as good as others!"
The educated youth leader Xu Yishu spoke up to dispel Li Zhigao's fantasy:
"Although his family lives in the village, the newlyweds are both employees of the county textile factory, and the bride's parents have also settled in the county! It's just his grandmother's family in the village!"
The educated youth team leader had been in the village the longest and was most familiar with the situation of the villagers. As soon as he spoke, the educated youth immediately understood and began to laugh at Li Zhigao, saying that he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Li Zhigao felt a little embarrassed after being ridiculed like this, and said unconvincedly:
"After all, aren't you still just a country girl? What's so great about that?"
Zhu Yu was already upset, and when he heard this, his face immediately turned unhappy. He threw down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice:
"I think your soul is the most despicable!"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm full."
He strode away, looking angry.
Everyone was confused. Li Zhigao sneered and said sarcastically in the direction Zhu Yu left:
"Where did this young master come from? It seems he is so unique!"
The educated youth did not answer for a moment. They all shook their heads and began to concentrate on dealing with the big meal on the table.
Not only was the food delicious, but the host also gave each person a bag of candy, which made the children very happy.
For children, it seems that adults don’t like to eat those good things and always give them out. These candies fall into the category of things that adults “don’t like to eat”.
Some people even take the leftover bones home. Even though the meat has been eaten away, they still have a meaty flavor! Boil them in water and add some vegetables to make a meaty dish.
Zhou Yujiao's family also came to the wedding banquet.
Zhou Yujiao's biological father and stepmother came to the banquet with her half-brothers and nephews and nieces.
Originally, Zhou Yujiao didn't plan to invite them, after all, she had a very weak relationship with her mother's family.
The reason is that: if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather.
When Zhou Yujiao's mother was alive, her father loved her very much and her mother doted on her. It was a model of a happy family. Unfortunately, her mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to her younger brother, and both the older and younger brothers died.
In order to have a son, Zhou's father married another woman a few months later. Initially, the stepmother treated her well. Although they were not as close, she was not his biological daughter after all, so he could not expect too much. He just wanted her to treat his stepdaughter well.
After the stepmother gave birth to the eldest son, she gave birth to a daughter. Before the daughter, the first daughter would not pose a threat to her son, and she was not that bad to Zhou Yujiao. But it was different after she had a daughter.
There is only so much money in the family. The bulk of it is given to the son, and the rest is given to the daughter as a dowry. If the son gets more, the daughter will get less.
I don’t dare to be too obviously short of material things. After all, you can see what you eat and wear, but it’s hard to say how good they are.
For example, if you are a biological daughter, you can get a new set of clothes every year, but if you are not a biological daughter, you can only wear old clothes.
For example, in winter, they cover their own children with thick blankets, but for those who are not their own children, they only use some old cotton mats, which will not freeze them to death, but it is not much warmer.
The stepmother did a lot of things to trip up the children, such as whispering in their children's ear and putting pressure on them. Sometimes, she would put the blame on Zhou Yujiao for the bad things her own children did.
All the housework was pushed onto Zhou Yujiao. Zhou Yujiao was not one to swallow her anger, and would make a scene if pushed too hard.
As a result, Zhou's father had the impression that his eldest daughter was cunning, lazy, greedy, and disobedient. He also knew in his heart that his stepmother was not as good as his biological mother, and his daughter would suffer some grievances.
But no matter how much he loved his daughter, he still felt that she would eventually get married.
His wife is the one who will accompany him for his whole life, and his son is the one who will provide for him in his old age, so he just pretends not to see this little grievance, as long as it is not too excessive.
Zhou Yujiao wanted to say how much she hated her father, but she actually didn't hate him. At least this father was much better than most fathers. He didn't abandon her and raised her.
It was not until Zhou Yujiao was about to get married and her stepmother wanted to marry her to a rich old man and her father agreed that her heart was completely chilled.
