Chapter 330: The Lin and Song families have dinner
The reason why this cheongsam looks dazzling at first glance is that the embroidery on it is wrapped with golden silk thread, which sparkles under the light.
The cheongsam is made of smooth silk, with delicate peony flowers spreading down from the left shoulder, and the long branches finally disappear below the waist. A half-opened peony with emerald green branches and leaves is located on the right hip, echoing the two fully-opened peonies at the left hem.
There are birds with their wings spread among the flowers, or pairs of birds standing on the branches, lingering with each other, making the picture vivid and colorful.
The exquisite edging, unique rim pattern, and buttons are all made of jade... these details all show the exquisiteness and uniqueness of the cheongsam.
Song Yiyuan's grandmother's embroidery is really good. If this cheongsam is carefully collected, it will definitely be a unique piece.
At this time, Song Yiyuan tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "This is the embroidery that grandma was most satisfied with during her lifetime. Mom has always treasured it."
Lin Qingqing was slightly surprised when she heard this, but then she thought about how Song Li's attitude had changed recently, and she probably understood. She smiled at Song Li and said, "Thank you, Mom. I like it."
Lin Qingqing's style of doing things is the typical type of "if you do me a favor, I will do you a favor."
Song Qi was cold to her before, and she just pretended that he didn't exist.
Now that Song Yi's attitude towards her has greatly improved, there is no need for her to be so reserved. After all, she is Song Yiyuan's relative.
Song Qi felt that Lin Qingqing really liked him, and the most important thing was that there was less alienation in Lin Qingqing's eyes.
"In-laws, please come to the table."
Grandpa Song led the Lin family to the table.
The Song family's dining room had been tidied up the next day. There were two round tables, one large and one small, and the original rectangular dining table had been put away.
Lin's father, Lin Li, walked closer to the dining table and saw the dishes on the table with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
There were fifteen dishes on the table, two large bowls of white rice, and chicken, duck, fish and meat.
The Song family is really generous to them.
Seeing the attitude of the Song family, Lin Li felt relieved. They really wanted to marry her daughter, and the whole family was really good to her daughter. She could see it all.
The three old men and Grandma Song sat in the middle of the table, and Grandpa Cai asked Lin's father and Lin Yi to sit next to them.
Song's father, Song Qi, also waited for his two relatives to sit down before sitting down next to Grandpa Song.
Song Yunhui was wearing a brand new military uniform, and he looked no worse than Song Yiyuan. He warmly invited the Lin brothers to sit down, and Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan also sat down next to Lin Zhiqing.
Zhou Yingying had already arranged for Li Zhaodi and others to sit at a small table.
"The men at that table are all drinking, let's just sit here and enjoy our food."
She warmly greeted Li Zhaodi, Li Lanying and others.
The older child sat by himself, while the younger one was held in the adult's arms.
"Let's eat." Grandpa Song spoke after everyone was seated.
After he finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Song Yiyuan opened a bottle of wine specially supplied by the army, stood up and poured it for the old men and Song's father and Lin's father first, and then for the brothers of the Lin family.
Lin Baojun declined, "I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I can just pour the bottom of the cup."
Song Yiyuan responded, "Okay." Then he shook his hand and poured out half of the cup... Lin Baojun raised his hand to lift the bottle, and Song Yiyuan quickly filled the cup.
"Ouch~ You poured too much at once, big brother, drink more."
Lin Baojun: “…”
Grandpa Song gave Song Yiyuan an approving look.
Since it’s the first time for the two families to have a meal together, the in-laws must be made sure to eat and drink their fill before leaving.
Later, Song Yiyuan's hands shook five more times. When it came to his two brothers, his hands stopped shaking and he directly filled the whole cup.
Grandpa Song saw that the wine was full. He raised his glass with a smile and said, "Qingqing's marriage to the Song family is a blessing for us. I swear on my medals that as long as the Song family is doing well, I will do my utmost to protect Qingqing."
Mr. Cai also raised his glass: "Qingqing will be my only granddaughter from now on. Let's all be witnesses."
Old Master Tong stood aside, unwilling to be outdone: "Xiao Si, you should treat Qingqing well in the future. It is really a blessing for your Song family and your family that you can marry her. Let's toast."
He drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
When the Lin family heard several old men say that marrying the younger sister was a blessing for the Song family, they thought it was just a polite remark.
After everyone raised their glasses, Song Yiyuan's glasses were filled up again, and then the old men went to the Lin family one by one to drink.
This is how Chinese people are. After eating and drinking some wine, they can immediately become brothers and sworn brothers.
Lin's father and several of Lin's brothers were also released.
The atmosphere also became lively.
The women's table was also quite lively. Zhou Yingying, Zhuang Chaoyue and Wu Fangnian were either helping Li Zhaodi and the others with dishes or adding more rice.
Zhang Guilian had already eaten four bowls of rice, but Zhou Yingying still snatched her bowl and insisted on giving her more rice.
It made her feel a little embarrassed.
The group of children got along harmoniously, and Damao told Song Chengyu about the stories of Maoer Mountain.
"There's everything on our mountain. Do you know what mushrooms are? Have you ever seen a pheasant? And what about a black-haired wild boar?"
Song Chengyu kept shaking his head.
Damao said with disdain: "How come you haven't seen or eaten anything?"
"Is your place far away? I can come and play with you."
Da Mao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and waved his hand and said, "Not far, not far. It will take five days by train to get there."
Song Chengyu: “…”
The meal lasted two hours before it was over. The female guests had already left, and Li Zhaodi was arranged by Zhou Yingying to go to the living room to watch TV and eat melon seeds.
The three old men drank a little too much and chatted with Lin's father about all sorts of things. Lin's father talked about farming - how the harvest was, how much tax to pay every day, and how much the father could give them every day.
Grandma Song pulled Lin Xi and kept asking about the twins.
When she finally found out that Lin's father's previous generation also had twins, she couldn't stop laughing.
Song's father and Song Li were a little far away from the Lin family, but they would chat from time to time, and the meal was never dull.
After dinner, Song Yunhui and Song Yunhai moved all the chairs into the living room, and the Lin and Song families sat down in the living room again.
