"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Mo Yuan watched Lin Xue slowly and carefully eat the braised pork with her cherry-like lips.
He picked up a piece of Four Happiness Meatball and handed it to her, asking her with concern.
There are many guests outside, and now Mo Yuan's courtyard and main room are full. Looking at that table inside,
The table was already packed with his older sister and her family, so Mo Yuan simply took the food to his room so he and Lin Xue could enjoy some alone time.
This made Lin Xue feel more at ease. Sure enough, Mo Yuan was the only one in the room. Although Lin Xue was a little reserved...
But considering that he was now her husband in name only, she didn't hesitate.
Seeing Mo Yuan so attentively serving her food, she felt a rare sense of warmth; Mo Yuan seemed to have truly changed for the better.
So he picked up a meatball that Mo Yuan handed him, ate it with satisfaction, and found it delicious.
While praising him, she also suppressed her shyness and let Mo Yuan eat.
"Mmm, is this lion's head meatballs? It's delicious! I had it once when I was little. You should try some too. The tofu in this stew is also delicious. Eat more meat to grow strong!"
As she spoke, she placed a piece of braised pork on Mo Yuan's plate.
"Yes, you call it Lion's Head, we call it Four Happiness Meatballs, it's about the same thing, just for good luck."
He explained the general method of making it while they ate. Lin Xue listened and ate at the same time, and was still a little dazed.
I'm actually going to settle down here, and the person in front of me is the one I'll spend my life with.
"Mo Yuan, are you going to be busy with business again in a couple of days? Why don't I go with you and help out!"
Over this period of time, Lin Xue gradually accepted everything about Mo Yuan, and at the same time, she made comparisons in her mind.
Combining this with what I heard on the radio, I realized that from then on, rural life could no longer rely on toiling away in the soil for a living.
Since Mo Yuan has chosen the catering industry, I will work hard alongside him from now on.
Seeing that Lin Xue was serious, Mo Yuan thought about it and didn't refuse.
"Okay! You can come along for now and help out with collecting money and stuff. Sometimes it'll be busy, but it'll only be for a short time. You can't rely solely on selling food. The policies will gradually improve. You, an intellectual from the city, shouldn't be wasted. Study more. Even if you don't go to university, it will be useful for other things in the future! You can help out for now, it'll be relatively easy. When you come back in the afternoon and evening, you still need to study. Can you still pick up the knowledge from your books?"
Hearing this, Lin Xue became a little uneasy. Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, Lin Xue had also studied under the guidance of others in the educated youth settlement.
However, she had only graduated from junior high school at the time. Although she had been delayed for a few years and struggled to catch up, she later learned about her family's situation and didn't even register for the college entrance examination.
So she herself wasn't sure.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan didn't ask any further questions. "It's alright. We can study together from now on. Even if we don't take the college entrance exam, it will still be useful. I plan to start a factory in our village in the future. It's always good to write more. At the very least, you can help me manage the accounts."
These words made Lin Xue feel somewhat unfamiliar with Mo Yuan again. She realized he had considered things so far ahead, even though setting up a factory in the countryside was somewhat ahead of his time.
But realizing it wasn't something that could be accomplished quickly, I didn't say anything more.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Hmm, we're getting off topic. Eat up, we still have to go out to toast later! You're so thin, eat more."
Mo Youshan, Mo Yuan, and the others each offered a toast, which naturally drew praise. It wasn't that Mo Youshan was generous, but the banquet was far too lavish.
The praise of Mo Yuan and Lin Xue's perfect match brought joy to both hosts and guests. As time passed, finally, after the main host, Da Bai Mantou, arrived...
Everyone put aside the usual pleasantries and formalities at the banquet and launched a final assault on the delicious food on the table.
Putting aside such a lavish meal, even just a little bit of vegetable soup, paired with these freshly steamed white buns,
That was a rare treat to have a full meal!
I believe that this meal at Mo Yuan's house will be a topic of conversation for a long time to come.
I'll have something to brag about when I go out in the future. The Mo family's banquet was incredibly lavish—the dishes, the wine, the huge white steamed buns…
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the table was spotless.
It has to be said that no matter which table they were at, their appetite was quite impressive. Mo Yuan was just worried that they would only focus on the taste.
However, the portion sizes weren't quite satisfactory, so a compromise was made: the braised pork belly, large carp, and four kinds of vegetables were prepared to be delicious and satisfy everyone's appetites.
The stew, which was full of pork belly, was served with extra side dishes like tofu and glass noodles, just in case there wasn't enough for the guests.
Even so, they ate it all up, leaving not a single piece of food!
One has to admire the appetite of people in this era.
The plate was spotless, not a drop of soup was left; it was cleaner than if it had been washed!
The only thing that brought Mo Yuan some comfort was that at least the steamed buns were left uneaten, even though the vegetables were finished.
Otherwise, it really wouldn't make sense.
The family saw all the guests off, and watching them leave satisfied, the relatives were so full they could barely walk.
No one laughed at them; instead, they all smiled with understanding. Anyone would have eaten their fill in the same way!
Seeing that everyone had almost left, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then could the mission truly be considered a complete success.
Of course, those with close relationships would stay to help, such as my uncle's family, the dog and its mother, and my eldest sister.
Everyone was helping to tidy up the chairs and benches.
These were all borrowed from the neighbors nearby, and each one was marked. Now that the mission is successfully completed, they need to be returned!
Of course, these days everyone helps each other out, and I don't think I'll bring up things like rent; talking about money hurts feelings.
Yu Xiu'e, along with her entourage and leftover dishes from the banquet, were returning the tables, chairs, plates, and bowls when...
Sending a bowl to each household creates a happy ending for everyone!
After finishing all that, even my uncle's family, along with Gouzi and his mother, took their leftovers home.
Mo Hongying came over specifically to talk to Lin Xue for a while.
He then got up and prepared to leave!
Seeing that our family's life is getting better and better every day, and that my younger brother has found such a good marriage...
The parents' faces were constantly smiling; the family lived in harmony.
Even as Mo Hongying felt happy, she also felt a little lonely.
My younger brother used to be so unreliable, but he's changed for the better now, especially with his own family.
Why!
Just as Mo Hongying was about to leave with the child, carrying some vegetables that Yu Xiu'e had packed for her,
Mo Yuan stepped forward.
"Sis, let me see you off. I have something to tell you!"
