The next day at noon, the villagers who attended the banquet also felt it was worth it.
Ten plates and eight bowls, not one of them is just for show.
While everyone was enjoying the delicious food of chicken, duck, fish, and other delicacies from land and sea, they all felt a little embarrassed for the meager one or two dollars of favor money they had received.
But there is no reason to add anything. No matter how much or how little the gift money is, it is a give and take, and there are rules and regulations to follow.
Of course, this idea is not worth mentioning.
Before the food in his mouth was properly digested, someone jokingly asked when the Meng family's next banquet would be held.
Meng Chenglin entertained guests today, drank a few glasses of wine, and heard a lot of compliments. He felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. With his tipsy eyes, he glanced at his youngest son who was eating heartily, and laughed without any modesty, "Almost there, almost there!
My family will have to hold a graduation banquet at the latest in August next year!"
If high school hadn't suddenly changed to a three-year system this year, perhaps the graduation banquet could have been held this year.
Anyway, Meng Chenglin, who increasingly felt that his sons were capable, never considered the possibility that his youngest son would fail the college entrance examination.
The villagers all joined in the fun, and some even jokingly ordered dishes for next year's graduation banquet.
The laughter and noise in the Meng family's yard were so loud that it could almost blow the roof off.
Meng Qiang looked at his father's flushed face as he talked to others, and he felt like he couldn't swallow the food in his mouth.
The words "innocently caught in the crossfire" and "under tremendous pressure" are not enough to describe his mood at the moment.
We were just eating quietly without saying a word, but for some reason the topic turned to him.
My father even made a boast in front of so many people that if he didn't get into university next year, he probably wouldn't want to return to the village in his life.
I can't afford to lose that person!
Feng Yijia had finished eating and was holding Meng Yan in his arms, who was so excited that he kept yawning and refused to close his eyes because he had seen so many people and was surrounded by so much noise.
While babbling and coaxing, she looked up and saw her brother-in-law with a sad face among the smiling faces in the yard. She couldn't help but smile and said to Meng Sheng, who was eating with his bowl in front of her, "Look, my little brother is about to cry!"
Meng Sheng had seen it a long time ago, but he didn't have any sympathy or pity as a brother. He laughed while eating and said, "Don't worry, the full moon banquet is not over yet, and the guests haven't left yet. If you want to cry, you won't cry now.
With so many eyes watching, he can't afford to lose face!"
Meng Chao ran to the backyard to use the toilet. When he came out and heard what was said at the table outside, he turned around and ran away.
An older unmarried young man cannot have anything to do with the word "banquet", otherwise it will definitely be linked to him.
None of the brothers were reliable, and finally it was his mother Chen Hongxing who came over and twisted them hard a few times before she cut off Meng Chenglin's increasingly rambling words.
The lively banquet lasted from 11 a.m. to around 2 p.m. before the guests began to leave.
Feng Yijia put the child who had finally been coaxed to sleep into the house and prepared to go out with Meng Sheng to see the guests off.
Then she saw two unfamiliar men standing in front of her, saying in unison, "Cousin!"
The two strange men looked older than him.
Feng Yijia blinked, wondering where the word "cousin" came from?
There were many people coming to the full moon banquet today, from inside and outside the village, relatives and relatives together, nearly two hundred people, and Feng Yi's family really didn't know some of them.
Thinking that even if she didn't know him, someone else in the family must know him, she didn't examine them carefully one by one.
So, I am completely confused right now.
The two men quickly introduced themselves and cleared up the confusion.
The tall, thin man said, "Hello, cousin.
You probably don't know me. My name is Zhuang Laiqing, and I'm Feng Yiqiong's husband!"
The shorter and stronger man smiled broadly and continued, "Cousin, my name is Zhuang Laixiao, and I'm Yizhen's husband.
Yizhen and my father-in-law and mother-in-law were wrong in the past. I want to apologize to you on their behalf!
After hearing this, Feng Yijia finally realized who the two people were.
There was no way. When my uncle's two daughters got married, there was really no movement in the village.
There was no wedding banquet or banquet. My uncle Feng Youwen and his son were not there. Only my aunt Zhuang Fang took her two daughters and some simple dowries and went to her parents' home in an ox cart the day before.
It is said that the two girls were married off from their parents' side.
When I returned to the house later, I also went back that way.
Then a few days later, Zhuang Fang came back again, entrusted the fields and houses to others to cultivate, and left and was never seen again.
I heard that a family of three took the betrothal money from the two girls and went out to do business.
As for where exactly he went? I haven't heard.
This was the first time Feng Yijia saw the two new cousins-in-law in her life.
After taking a closer look, I have to say, Zhuang Fang is quite good at picking.
One of them is tall, the other is short, but both are handsome young men with strong bodies. At first glance, they are the kind of hard-working young men that everyone in the countryside likes.
The key point is that their rolling eyes show that the two of them are not really honest farmers.
They are lively, thoughtful and thick-skinned.
Feng Yijia remained silent and didn't respond. He really didn't know how to face the two brothers-in-law who came to visit.
She had grievances against the people in the Feng family's old house, but that grievance had long faded with the passage of time and her father's troubles.
I haven't seen him for such a long time. I thought we were just familiar strangers and had no further contact, but I didn't expect him to show up again.
Seeing Feng Yijia remained silent, the tall Zhuang Laiqing took out two silver bracelets from his pocket and handed them to her: "Cousin, you and Yiqiong are real sisters.
Yiqiong was ignorant before, but now she has come to her senses. She bought this specially after she knew you had given birth to a child.
It's just that she was too shy to come over to see you and apologize, so she sent me over."
Zhuang Laixiao also took out a small silver longevity lock from his pocket and handed it to Feng Yijia: "It's not worth much, it's just a token of our love for the child from Yizhen and me as her aunt and uncle.
I hope he grows up safely and lives a long life!"
