Chapter 386: Banquet
The wedding of the son of Master Zhang was held in the family compound.
Considering the impact, not many people were invited, only some families who had a good relationship and exchanged gifts with each other. Most of them were attended by only one man. There were
very few couples like Tingyu and Lu Weiguo who came together.
Shi Tingyu was invited not because of her man, but because of her own achievements and status that made people take her seriously.
When Shi Tingyu came, she didn't think about stealing the limelight from the bride, so she didn't put on much makeup. After arriving at Zhang's house, she sat aside with Lu Weiguo and waited quietly.
Shi Tingyu also knew the people at the same table with them. They were from the same compound, and many of them had come to eat Shen Shen's first birthday banquet.
Seeing Shi Tingyu and his friends sitting down, the people at the same table greeted them one after another.
Shi Tingyu smiled in response, and she listened to Lu Weiguo's conversation.
Lu Weiguo was afraid that she would be bored here, so he would bring her along from time to time when chatting. Shi Tingyu was not a woman who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and she could follow their conversation.
For a moment, the people at this table seemed to have forgotten Shi Tingyu's gender, and there was no barrier in their communication.
Because the banquet was set up in their own yard, the two tables were close to each other, and when they were chatting, people from the neighboring table would join in, and the atmosphere was lively for a while.
The wedding banquet here was held at night. There are many mosquitoes in the summer, so mosquito coils were lit under each table. Before leaving, Lu Weiguo sprayed floral water on Shi Tingyu's arms and legs that were exposed.
Soon, the wedding banquet entered the process, and soon the newlyweds came out.
The bride wore a red dress, with her hair tied up and artificial flowers on her head, which was very fashionable in this era.
People around laughed kindly from time to time.
Shi Tingyu looked at it with a smile on her face.
Although the current wedding is not as luxurious and beautiful as that of later generations, this scene has an indescribable harmony.
Lu Weiguo's eyes have been following Shi Tingyu. Seeing her looking at the bride, his heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, and it was sore.
Women should all look forward to such a wedding.
When she married him, the situation was urgent. They got the marriage certificate and moved in together without any preparation.
At this moment, is she envious of the bride?
Lu Weiguo's eyes were too focused. Everyone else was looking at the newlyweds, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Shi Tingyu.
Shi Tingyu felt the gazes of the people next to her. She turned her head and looked over with confusion in her eyes.
Lu Weiguo reached out and quietly held her hand.
Shi Tingyu smiled and did not struggle.
Soon the newlyweds toasted at each table, but they did not use wine when they were in the army.
Everyone stood up, and Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo did the same. They were just used to holding hands and forgot to let go. After standing up, their hands were caught off guard and caught everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, there was a noise of booing from the table.
Shi Tingyu finally reacted and was about to let go of his hand, but Lu Weiguo held it tightly.
"Have you ever seen holding hands?" Lu Weiguo glanced at the people around him, "How come I never hold your wife's hand at home?"
Everyone laughed and let them go.
They were all brothers from the same camp, and no one talked about this matter. Everyone was more blessing.
After the wedding banquet, it was completely dark. Lu Weiguo held his wife's hand in one hand and walked home with a flashlight in the other hand, holding the wedding candy he had been given.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves accompanied by the chirping of crickets made people feel relaxed.
After a while, Lu Weiguo said, "Wife, let's have a wedding someday."
Shi Tingyu stopped in surprise, "Hold a wedding?"
"Yes." Lu Weiguo helped her smooth her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said softly, "We only got the certificate when we got married. The situation didn't allow it at that time, and you have always been wronged."
Shi Tingyu looked at his face. The flashlight shone on the ground, and only the man's tough outline could be seen. She said softly, "I am very happy. For me, having a wedding or not will not affect my life."
Lu Weiguo said, "What others have, I also want to give you."
Shi Tingyu smiled, "Then let's wait a few years."
A few years later, Wedding dresses are popular again, and it is no longer necessary to wear just a red dress.
Lu Weiguo did not understand why he had to wait a few more years, but when he saw Shi Tingyu was serious, he agreed.
"Okay, then wait a few more years."
Although he said so, Lu Weiguo could not help but feel excited when he thought about the wedding, and his steps became lighter.
After returning home, Shen Shen expressed his anger at his parents going out to eat alone, but was instantly comforted by the wedding candy.
"Mom and Dad, when you go out in the future, Shen Shen will be a good boy at home. You should go out more often to eat and give Shen Shen candy."
Mother Lu looked at her grandson's clever appearance and loved him very much.
In the next few days, Shi Tingyu relaxed a lot and started to devote himself to the great cause of painting.
Lu Weiguo helped Shi Tingyu to wrap the canvas. It took him nearly a whole morning to finish such a large frame.
The long corridor on weekdays was Shi Tingyu's workshop. When it was windy and rainy, he would move into the house to continue.
Every time this happened, Shi Tingyu was very glad that her mother-in-law came over, otherwise when it rained, she would not even have anyone to carry the frame.
Shen Shen was relieved. When Shi Tingyu was painting, he would also sit on the small climbing chair and doodle with a small drawing board. Every time this happened, he became quiet. The serious look of the big and small painting was exactly the same.
Mother Lu couldn't help but feel happy when she saw this, so she went to get her camera and took a picture of this scene.
Since she learned how to use the camera, Shi Tingyu gave Mother Lu the right to use it, and now she is enjoying it.
If she didn't think it was a waste of film money to take pictures of flowers and plants, she could take dozens of pictures every minute.
When Lu Weiguo came back from training, he saw two people, one big and one small, covered in various paints. He didn't think they were dirty, but instead thought they were shining, emitting the unique brilliance of artists.
Fortunately, in order to reduce Lu Weiguo's burden of washing clothes, Shi Tingyu and Shen Shen both wore overalls.
Generally, Lu Weiguo washed the more difficult ones like this. He had strong hands and could wash them faster and cleaner than Lu Mu and Shi Tingyu.
After an afternoon, Shi Tingyu's model was almost done.
Lu Weiguo took a look at the various lines on the canvas and felt dizzy. It turned out that painting was not something that just anyone could do.
Lu's mother was cooking at this time, so Lu Weiguo helped his wife carry the picture frame into the studio. When he came out, he went to the room to wash his vest and his wife's silk pajamas.
