Chapter 824 Dwarf Tiger's Wedding
The mother and son made desserts together.
When He Yuan saw Youyou arrive, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he began to teach him how to make desserts.
When Youyou held the dough, he opened his eyes in surprise: "The dough is so soft, it's more fun than mud."
He Yuan nodded: "Yes, we can add some coloring agents to the dough later..."
As Chen Qing listened to He Yuan's instruction, he began to yawn.
We're doomed.
She felt that learning to cook was even more tiring than learning math.
He Yuan gave her a task: "You're strong, so stir the egg whites."
“Sure, this is hard work, I’m good at it.” Chen Qing took a bowl of egg whites and a whisk made by He Yuan from several bamboo strips, and started mixing: “So much quantity, are you making a big cake?”
He Yuan nodded: "Yes, give it to Dwarf Tiger as a congratulatory gift."
"Okay, okay."
Knowing it was a gift for Dwarf Tiger, Chen Qing began to stir it carefully.
He Yuan continued to teach the two children.
As Youyou learned, she went from being completely indifferent to having a craving for the cake, staring at it longingly: "It smells so good and looks so pretty!"
He swallowed hard.
I want to eat...
He Yuan: "No."
Youyou pouted and said, "I can do it now. I'll do it myself from now on!"
He Yuan: "Okay, I'll put the ingredients where you can easily reach them."
Youyou's eyes sparkled.
He'll give cake to his best friend from now on!
Pingping sighed, "Making things is too tiring."
He Yuan: "So?"
Pingping: "So I have to eat less so that Aunt Feng won't be so tired."
He Yuan: "..."
He thought the child would say, "I will eat well and cherish food."
"So sensible."
Pingping felt that her father's praise was strange, like it was sarcastic.
Chen Qing was looking at the cake, wondering where to put it, when Youyou took the initiative to run to the neighbor's house to ask if anyone had any spare space in their refrigerator.
After choosing the house with the emptier refrigerator, Chen Qing told her mother, and then took the cake to that house to store it.
After the cake was properly stored, the whole family took showers and went to bed, preparing for the wedding banquet the next day.
*
Just as dawn was breaking, noises began to emanate from the small house that Dwarf Tiger had purchased. Feng Yunxia's aunts and uncles, who had come from the countryside, crowded inside, slaughtering chickens and geese, scraping fish and cutting meat—a lively scene indeed.
The blue brick walls had just been painted white, and double happiness symbols with still-wet ink were pasted on both sides of the vermilion wooden door. The arrival of the car was like a loud horn, and everyone began to prepare to welcome the bride!
Shorty Tiger sat in the car, while a bicycle convoy carrying all sorts of dowry items set off in a lively manner.
A group of people jingled bells as they headed toward the residence of the Feng family relatives, who were temporarily serving as the bride's family home.
Passersby glanced at the man riding a bicycle with a big red flower tied to his arm, followed by a long line of young people on bicycles, wondering which official's son could afford to get married in a car!
Sitting in the car, feeling the envious or curious looks from everyone, he felt this was the highlight of his life. At the same time, he was filled with pride and ambition. He was determined to make money in the future and buy a car!
Take your wife and kids and travel to all parts of the country in style!
When they went to pick up the bride, the Feng family relatives were even more enthusiastic when they saw that the short-legged man could still manage to get a car for his wedding.
Feng's parents stood even taller.
With tears in her eyes, Feng's mother held her daughter's hand and said, "Yunxia, you are a blessed child to have married a man who treats you well. You two should live a peaceful and stable life from now on..."
She choked up as she spoke.
Her daughter, as the eldest daughter, had her athletic talent discovered from a young age and had been working hard at the training base all along, just to earn a little bit of prize money to buy some food for her family. She had just left there and was about to get married.
I haven't spent enough time with her, and the child has grown up without me even realizing it.
Seeing her cry, Feng Yunxia couldn't help but wipe away her own tears.
As Dwarf Tiger helped Feng Yunxia into the car, Feng Yunxia still couldn't stop choking up.
Xiaoyu, one of the bridesmaids, sat in the passenger seat and said, "Yunxia, don't cry, your makeup is ruined, you should touch it up."
The bride's makeup was done by an outsider, costing ten yuan per session!
The makeup style was alright, making Feng Yunxia look fair and rosy.
Upon hearing that her makeup was ruined, Feng Yunxia disregarded everything else and quickly asked Xiaoyu for a mirror to touch up her makeup.
Dwarf Tiger: "..."
Girls are so strange.
The group arrived in the courtyard amidst the sounds of firecrackers and drums.
Feng Yunxia was wearing a brand-new bright red dress, her two black braids were neatly combed, and a red velvet flower was placed by her temple, which made her round face blush like the sunset.
The atmosphere at the scene became lively, with children cheering, "The bride has arrived! We'll be eating soon!"
Once everyone arrived at the courtyard, they could smell the wonderful fragrance emanating from it. It smelled amazing!
Dwarf Tiger was willing to spend a lot of money on his wedding, and the wedding banquet consisted of a real nine bowls!
A whole chicken glistening with oil, braised pork trotters with black moss in a rich, dark sauce, taro with pork belly and a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, steamed grass carp symbolizing abundance...
The rough porcelain bowl was overflowing with food; who wouldn't be tempted?
Chen Qing was no exception.
The short, stout man held his youngest son, his face ashen.
He originally wanted to scold his daughter-in-law for being a country bumpkin who couldn't be presented in public, but then Chen Qing arrived!
Chen Qing...
Why.
She is the factory director of a large factory with 10,000 employees.
He's someone of status, after all; it wouldn't be good to cause a scene in front of her.
Shorty Tiger's wife thought so too; she was quite afraid of Chen Qing.
Qian Yanfen was also afraid.
She was afraid from the first moment she saw Chen Qing.
If Chen Qing weren't here, she would definitely tear Feng Yunxia's face to shreds!
But then she arrived.
Her beloved brother married someone else, and she still has to attend the wedding. She's so pitiful, sob sob sob...
Qian Yanfen began to wipe away her tears.
The Feng family relatives were furious. They wanted to scold her but were afraid of ruining their special day, so they could only suppress their anger.
Chen Qing: "Xiao Fen, are your eyes uncomfortable if you didn't sleep well? Do you want to go back and get some sleep?"
When Qian Yanfen met her smiling eyes, she trembled and quickly threw herself into her mother's arms.
The short, stout man chuckled awkwardly, "The kid is studying really hard for the college entrance exam."
Chen Qing suddenly realized: "I see. Xiao Fen, you must study hard. Studying changes your mindset."
Qian Yanfen blinked, sensing her concern, and nodded emphatically, "I will."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Keep it up."
Qian Yanfen was so excited that her face turned red. She turned around and told her classmates that Chen Qing thought she was smart, and now who would dare to look down on her!
The short, stout couple looked strange, but for various reasons, they didn't expose them.
The auspicious time has arrived.
Let the feast begin!
As the dishes were served, Feng's parents were even more satisfied. They didn't get to eat this kind of food even during the Chinese New Year!
The toasting brought the lively atmosphere to a climax.
Shorty Tiger, carrying a small white wine cup, and Feng Yunxia, carrying a cup of brown sugar water, began offering toasts from the main table.
Dwarf Tiger changed his address at the banquet and also made his wife change hers.
Feng Yunxia called the short, stout man "Dad".
After hesitating for a moment, the short, stout man took out a thin red envelope.
Feng's parents didn't hold it against them.
They had known all along that their son-in-law wasn't close to his family.
That way they'll treat their son-in-law better and get a powerful son for free.
