When Zhou Ziwen announced that the meal was ready, the villagers cheered and stretched out their chopsticks impatiently, fearing that they would be slow and unable to grab the food from others.
Because Zhou Ziwen’s cooking skills were so good, everyone was so focused on eating that they didn’t even have time to talk.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi held up their wine glasses and toasted at each table.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang were there to help them pour wine.
Although there were no best men or bridesmaids, the two of them played these roles.
At the beginning, everyone was busy eating and had no time to drink, which made it easy for Zhou Ziwen to get through.
By the time the meal was halfway through, everyone's stomachs were almost full.
At this moment, they remembered that they seemed to have neglected the groom today.
That won't work.
A group of old men immediately started to make a fuss, demanding that Zhou Ziwen toast them one by one, saying that not drinking would be a lack of respect.
Zhou Ziwen accepts all offers of alcohol, and with his alcohol tolerance, it is difficult to get him drunk.
But some people didn't force him to drink. After all, he was the groom today. If he got drunk, how could he enter the bridal chamber?
But there are always some people who like to have fun. They like to get the groom drunk and then watch him make a fool of himself.
Look, in the end, Zhou Chaoyang took the lead and pulled a group of educated youth over, insisting on having a good drink with him.
These people had all drunk with Zhou Ziwen before and were drunk.
They were unwilling to accept the result and were determined to seek revenge.
Zhou Ziwen didn't indulge them. He gave each of them a big bowl and drank it with them first.
After a few rounds, all those who wanted to get him drunk were knocked down by him.
Finally, Zhou Ziwen moved the battlefield and came to the table of village cadres.
Speaking of which, it was his first time drinking with the team leader and Zhu Youde.
Needless to say, the captain can drink a lot, he must have grown up soaking in wine.
When I drink with him, I always drink bowl after bowl.
The captain is very generous and never refuses anyone who comes to him.
Not to mention Zhou Ziwen, he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk or ten thousand cups without falling down.
Even now, he himself doesn't know how much he can drink.
Anyway, he only knew that he could keep drinking, and at most he would drink too much and just need to drink some water.
Bajiquan, which is close to level eight, gave him great strength and also enabled him to possess physical fitness that was different from that of ordinary people.
After a few rounds, Zhou Ziwen defeated the team leader and others.
This is how drinking works in this era. If you don’t drink to your heart’s content, it means you’re not having fun.
Zhou Ziwen is just adapting to local customs and keeping pace with the times.
The drinking lasted until two or three in the afternoon.
Although Zhou Ziwen was fine, he still pretended to be drunk.
After all, there's nothing wrong with drinking a lot, but being too much is a bit scary.
What if everyone finds out that he can keep drinking and stops drinking with him out of fear?
At this time, the villagers who came to eat began to disperse one after another.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi were still seeing off guests. Only when most of them had left did he finally have some free time.
Fortunately, the villagers helped to clean up the battlefield, otherwise they would have no time to spare.
"Brother Ziwen, are you okay? Drink some honey water to sober up."
After the people left, Chen Qiaoyi brought him some honey water and looked at him with concern.
"It's okay. What could happen to me? Don't worry, it won't delay your business." Zhou Ziwen smiled.
What he called serious business was, of course, the wedding night.
From now on, Chen Qiaoyi is his wife, and it is legal and reasonable for him to enter the bridal chamber with his wife.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you talking about!" Chen Qiaoyi blushed and felt a little shy.
Although this is not the first time, she still feels a little shy every time.
It’s also because this girl is still too young. If she has a child in the future, she probably won’t have such a problem.
"Haha, let's clean up the house first. It's time to bring your clothes over. I've left all the cabinets here for you!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'll get it later."
After today, Chen Qiaoyi will also live with Zhou Ziwen, and all her daily necessities must be moved over.
"By the way, why don't we talk to your sister and connect the yards on both sides of our house so that it will be more convenient to go in and out." Zhou Ziwen suddenly thought of a good idea.
In the past, he felt that it was inconvenient to go to the next yard. He could obviously take a shortcut and go in through a door, but he insisted on entering and exiting through the main gate. Isn't that a big detour?
"Hey, this seems like a good idea!" Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up.
If the two yards are connected, it will be more convenient to go in and out.
She was originally worried that her sister would not be used to it after she moved in, but if the yards were connected, their two families would be like one.
Although it is just a small thing, it can bring them closer in spirit.
Chen Qiaoyi thought Zhou Ziwen's idea was brilliant.
"Okay, it's settled then. We'll talk to your sister about it during dinner tonight." Zhou Ziwen acted like the head of the family.
"Don't worry, my sister will definitely agree. Let me tell you a secret, my sister is afraid of the dark." Chen Qiaoyi said confidently.
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
Zhou Ziwen really didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be afraid of the dark?
But it's normal to think about it. It's not strange for girls to be afraid of the dark. Besides, the two sisters have been together since they were young. Now they are suddenly separated. Even if they are not afraid of the dark, they will probably not be used to it.
"What are you talking about?"
At this moment, Chen Shiying brought over a notebook.
"Nothing." Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi shook their heads.
"Haha." Chen Shiying laughed. As soon as she saw the looks of the two people, she knew that something must have happened.
"Married people are different. They are not close to me, their older sister."
Chen Shiying said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Sister, how could I have that?" Chen Qiaoyi hugged her arms with a flattering smile on her face.
"Yes, sister, you came at the right time. We were just discussing opening a door in the yard to connect our two homes. This way it will be convenient for us to go in and out in the future. Besides, we are a family now, so we don't have to worry about other people gossiping." Zhou Ziwen explained from the side.
"Open up the yard?" Chen Shiying was a little tempted when she heard this.
But she didn't agree immediately. Opening up the yard was a big deal and she needed to think about it carefully.
"Yes, sister, I will be with Brother Ziwen from now on, and you will be alone. What if you get scared at night?" Chen Qiaoyi also advised.
"What a joke! I'm afraid?" Chen Shiying snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "I'm hoping you'll leave! Ziwen, I'm telling you, this girl doesn't sleep well at night. You better keep an eye on her."
My goodness, in just a short while, the two sisters started exposing each other's secrets, leaving Zhou Ziwen with no idea what was going on.
"I didn't." Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly denied.
"Haha." Zhou Ziwen laughed and watched the fun. (End of this chapter)
