Chapter 116: Dinner at the Captain's House (2/2)



"That's right, that's right, Auntie, Xu Zhiqing, if you're happy, tell us so we can be happy!"

Li Meiyun pretended to be angry, but she knew clearly what she should and should not say.

"Go away, what are you doing? I watched Ningning grow up. I was just telling her that my Weiguo was getting married and I was planning to ask her to help!"

Xu Wanning was shocked. Is Shen Weiguo going to remarry so soon?

Not long after she went to the countryside, Shen Weiguo's former daughter-in-law, Zhang Honghua, was sent back to her parents' home.

It's not even half a year yet, and people get married so quickly these days, it's beyond her imagination.

"Auntie, which village is Brother Weiguo's wife from?"

Li Meiyun sighed. Ever since Zhang Honghua was sent to her mother's home, she often came to see Shen Weiguo secretly.

Her son is good in every way except that he is too soft-hearted. She worries about him all day and can't sleep.

So he immediately went looking for a matchmaker, and found a girl from a decent family, but her family was a little poor.

The betrothal money was a bit high, but she fell in love with the girl at first sight. She had a gentle personality and was not ugly.

Fortunately, her youngest son, Shen Weiguo, listened to her, so she made the decision. In more than half a month, it would be her youngest son's wedding day.

"Don't mention it. That Zhang Honghua comes to see your brother Weiguo every day. You've seen Zhang Honghua's temper. If she comes again, this family won't be able to live. She will make everyone upset every day!"

"I'm the boss. I asked a matchmaker to find me a girl from an honest and decent family. She's from Wangjia Village. The date is set. We'll be getting married in half a month."

The educated youth were all delighted to hear this. They all knew the former daughter-in-law of the team leader. She was a troublemaker who made trouble every day and no one else could stand her.

"Auntie, congratulations!"

"Aunt, we have to come and ask for a glass of wedding wine when the time comes!"

“...........”

Li Meiyun smiled when she heard that. People are in high spirits when they are happy. It's just a matter of having more pairs of chopsticks. More people will make the party more lively.

She was hoping that everyone would come to the wedding, and besides, having them come was giving face to her family.

"As long as you don't mind, it's fine. Come along when the time comes, and I'll make you some braised pork."

Xu Wanning was also happy for her. This time, he finally married a daughter-in-law that he was satisfied with. The captain's family was very nice. It was really bad for the captain's family to have Zhang Honghua.

"Auntie, I'll come and help with the cooking then."

Li Meiyun was more than happy to do so. You know, most of the people in the village had big pot meals at their weddings, which was almost like pig food compared to the rice dishes made by Ningning.

With just one move, Ning Ning can make even cheap dishes taste like those in state-owned restaurants. It would be so prestigious to serve several tables of dishes at the banquet.

"Ningning, I'll be troubling you then. Your cooking skills are unmatched in our area!"

Xu Wanning felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. Her cooking skills were only inferior to those of a real chef.

That is to say, people in this era lived a hard life, and the economy was not as developed as in later generations, so they could eat at any restaurant they wanted.

"I'm not that great. I can only cook a few dishes."

Lin Qiqi curled her lips and laughed and complained:

"Ningning, you're too modest. You're an absolute master at cooking. I rarely get to eat such delicious food in Beijing."

At this time, Liu Mingwei also came forward and said loudly:

"Lin Qiqi, what you said really hits the spot. Xu Zhiqing, your cooking is so delicious. I'm even a little greedy just talking about it."
