Chapter 42: Grand Wedding Banquet (Page 2/2)
Han Shiguo was also thoughtful and provided wine for each table. Although it was not Moutai or Wuliangye, they were also very famous local liquors.
He took Jiang Qian to toast every table. Everyone was very happy and kept praising the couple.
Such a lively scene is really rare.
After the banquet, several aunts and sisters-in-law stayed to help with the cleaning.
Of course Jiang Qian also followed along and cleaned the house thoroughly.
There are also those borrowed tables, chairs, pots, pans, and bowls. Of course, we can’t have so many of them at home. We borrowed them all from relatives and friends.
But after washing them, they were all sent back, and each one was also given a bowl of generous meat!
Everything on the table was eaten up, and these were not put into the pot because it was impossible to arrange less, so we prepared some extra.
Now what is left is just a token of gratitude.
Relatives and friends are also happy.
Now the news has spread all over the village, saying that Han Shiguo's wedding banquet was really great, and Han Shiguo was also very generous. He confiscated everyone's gift money, but anyone who was invited only had to come to the banquet empty-handed.
They really praised Han's mother for giving birth to a promising son, saying that there was no one else as promising as him in the surrounding villages, and that the son also married a good daughter-in-law.
This daughter-in-law is beautiful and educated. She looks like a lucky woman for her husband!
The praise really touched Han's mother's heart. After returning the dishes, she was not in a hurry to go back. She started chatting with others and came back after a while.
When I came back, I saw that several of my daughters and sons-in-law were also going back.
"Mom, you've been chatting with Third Aunt. She hasn't come back after sending me off for a long time, so we're all leaving." Third sister Han Shijia said with a smile.
Mother Han said quickly, "Don't leave in a hurry. There are still many dishes. Take some back."
"No need, I'll just bring some wedding candy back to share in the good cheer."
Mother Han was not happy. "I know you are well off, but these meat dishes are untouched. The lunch box you brought back for us last time is still there. I'll pack a box for you to take back for Youshu, Youhong, Yousheng and the others!"
After washing the lunch box, I filled it with half of the braised pork belly and half of the stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
"Okay then. I won't be polite to you, mother." Han Shijia accepted it with a smile. Even though they lived in the county party committee compound, they couldn't eat meat every day.
Zhao Shuxu also smiled, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother Shiguo, we will go back first."
"Okay, drive slowly on the road." Father Han drank a little wine, but he was obviously in a very good mood.
The couple rode their bicycles back home with the whole family seeing them off.
Then there are the eldest sister Han Shicai and her brother-in-law Zhang Fa, both of whom have very honest looks.
But there was no lunch box, so Han's mother simply used a large bowl to fill it with meat and vegetables, including stewed meat, fried meat, and scrambled eggs with leeks. In short, they were all put together.
The second sister Han Shiyun and her second brother-in-law Chen Youquan and her mother were also given a large bowl, and Chen Youquan winked at Han Shiyun.
Han Shiyun felt a little embarrassed, but he could only say, "Mom, Xiaoyang likes to eat fish, don't give him so much meat, just give him a fish."
Xiaoyang is her son, who she had after giving birth to three daughters.
Chen Youquan was a little dissatisfied when he heard her words, but he was happy soon because Han's mother-in-law did not reduce the meat, she just took the plate and added a fish, but Han's mother also added one for Han's eldest sister, which was fair and just.
Neither of the two sisters came empty-handed. They both brought back baskets in exchange for some eggs.
So just put the bowl in the basket and let them take it back.
The two daughters and their son-in-law did not stay long.
