Chapter 104: Packing Food

No matter how reluctant Zhang Xiuping was, her family and best sister finally went back.

When the other guests went back, they only had one dish of five-flavor meat, a piece of braised pork and two pieces of fried tofu, which they carried back together on a bamboo strip.

But when sending the bride back, in addition to the five-flavor braised pork and fried tofu, each person also received a red envelope. Deng Shirong was not stingy with the amount of the red envelope and directly gave each person ten yuan.

After all, when they came to visit our house, we gave a red envelope of 8.88 yuan, and the amount for the wedding gift would definitely be higher than this, so giving 10 yuan is very appropriate.

Deng Yunzhen had not married yet, so naturally she did not understand the bride's mood at the moment, but she had seen a lot of such situations in the village. Generally, when the wedding guests left, the bride would most likely shed tears, and some brides would even cry loudly.

Therefore, seeing her sister-in-law crying, she could only comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, you will be back in three days, and you can go back anytime you want in the future."

Zhang Xiuping wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with red eyes: "I know, but I just couldn't help crying when I saw my relatives going back."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and said, "I understand. Many brides in our village are like this when they get married. It only takes a few days to get used to it."

While Deng Yunzhen was comforting her sister-in-law, Deng Shirong said to her third sister, "Third sister, there is so much food left. I will pack a few tables for you to take back, so that it won't be wasted if you leave it here!"

Deng Shilan originally wanted to decline, but swallowed the words back. After all, what her brother said was true. There was no way to finish so much food if it was left behind. These were all delicious dishes. Instead of wasting them, it would be better to take some back and eat them.

Thinking of this, Deng Shilan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take some back to eat."

"Then I'll go tell Yuntai's two uncles and ask them to bring some back as well."

"Well, go ahead!"

Soon, Deng Shirong came to his two brothers-in-law and repeated what he had said to his third sister.

They were all close relatives, and they knew that it would be a waste to leave the food here if they didn't pack up some to take back, so the two brothers-in-law nodded in agreement.

So Deng Shirong took out oil paper and old newspapers and started packing meals for his relatives.

The seafood was eaten up, but there were still a lot of main dishes left, such as meat balls, egg rolls, boiled chicken, boiled duck, braised pork with brown sauce, stir-fried pork, sweet lotus root, and bamboo shoots. As for the vegetarian dishes, forget it. In this day and age, people have no shortage of vegetarian dishes, but only of meat and oil.

Therefore, Deng Shirong mainly packed those hard dishes, which he first wrapped with oil paper, then wrapped with old newspapers, and then tied with thin hemp rope.

There were fifteen tables of food in total, and Deng Shirong packed up three tables for his third sister's family. It was not that he did not want to pack more, but if he packed too much, his third sister's family would not be able to finish it, which would also be a waste. Three tables of food were enough.

Similarly, Deng Shirong also packed three tables of meals for each of his two brothers-in-law.

There were six tables left, so we stayed and ate at home.

Of course, their family alone would not be able to finish all the food, but they would have to hire a lot of people to help out tomorrow, so the food would not be wasted.

After the food was packed up, my third sister's family and the families of my two brothers-in-law also said goodbye and left.

…

After the wedding guests left Naye Village, the elders were discussing the banquet held by the Deng family today. It really opened their eyes. They had never heard of anyone having such a sumptuous meal for a wedding before, and the food tasted so delicious.

Especially those three seafood dishes, the taste is really unforgettable for a lifetime!

In addition, the banquet with fifteen tables was a grand scene they had never seen before.

In short, after today's wedding banquet experience, I can brag about it to those gossipy ladies in the village for the whole year.

The four Zhang brothers did not participate in the discussion, but just carried their things and continued on their way.

After all, from today on, their only sister is really getting married.

When they saw their elder sister (sister) crying just now, they also felt a pang of sadness in their eyes. Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant they were, they could not stay overnight. They could only leave with their elders with a slight sadness.

Unlike the four brothers of the Zhang family, although the eldest and second wives of Zhang were reluctant to part with their hardworking sister-in-law, for them, only if their sister-in-law got married would she be able to help their family.

Therefore, on the way back, the two sisters-in-law walked together shoulder to shoulder, whispering about something.

Walking at the back were Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua. The two sisters were also whispering at this time, but the subject of their discussion was not the bride and groom, nor the sumptuous and delicious food today, but Deng Changyuan and the other young men in Naye Village.

Although Ou Guohua and Deng Changyuan have not yet had a matchmaker to officially bring them together, through the two middlemen, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping, the two parties have already decided to get along.

As for Ou Guofang, the elder sister, she also opened her eyes wide today to look for someone who is more suitable for her among the young men in Naye Village.

So, on the way back, the sisters naturally had a lot of topics to talk about.

…

2:30 in the afternoon.

Deng Shilan and his family returned home.

"Dad, Mom, it's getting late. I'll go back first!" The speaker was Deng Shilan's eldest daughter, Bu Dafang.

Deng Shilan and her husband Bu Erzhu were both poorly educated. They had five children and gave them very simple names. Their two daughters were named Bu Dafang and Bu Xiaofang, and their three sons were named Bu Dashi, Bu Zhongshi and Bu Xiaoshi.

Bu Dafang married into Shantang Village in Baiping Brigade three years ago and is now a mother of two children.

Deng Shilan took out one of the three tables of food that she had packed back and said to her eldest daughter, "Dafang, we can't finish all the food. Take it back and share some with your parents-in-law and your brother and sister-in-law. You and your wife can keep the rest."

Bu Dafang separated from her family last year. Her relationship with her parents-in-law and brother and sister-in-law was not very good. They just maintained superficial harmony. When she heard her mother say this, she snorted reluctantly, "It's really a bargain for them!"

Deng Shilan also knew about her eldest daughter's situation at her husband's house, and said, "You should be more open-minded about some things and not be too fussy. All five fingers have different lengths, and parents can't be absolutely fair to their children."

Bu Dafang knew that it was useless to tell anyone about her parents-in-law's partiality. She didn't want to ruin her good mood, so she skipped the topic and said, "Mom, you don't have to give me so much to take back. Half of it is enough."

Deng Shilan said, "We still have so much at home. You don't have to push it around. Bringing more back will also give you some face."

Bu Dafang thought about it and decided not to refuse her mother's kindness. After saying hello to her parents and younger brothers and sisters, she took several large bags of food and went back to her husband's house.
