Chapter 181: Envy and Jealousy
Zhou Qishan looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but adjust the frame of his glasses.
"It's such a happy day. You two won't want to cry after receiving the gifts, right?" Zhou Qishan said jokingly.
Su Niannian and Gu Nan looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's wait until no one is around to see the things. It was such a great day, but the two old men couldn't come. They said they were sorry."
"When you meet again, you must toast to the two old gentlemen." Zhou Qishan continued with a smile.
"You two are both waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Hearing Zhou Qishan say this, Gu Nan said "Definitely!"
Then he took Zhou Qishan to sit down.
After Zhou Qishan sat down, he saw the table in front of him.
My goodness, Gu Nan really spent a lot of money to get married.
Such a feast would be just as good in a village, let alone a big city.
There are eight dishes and one soup, and each dish contains meat.
There are also hard dishes like braised pork.
Although he has seen a lot over the years, he couldn't help but feel that such a feast was really very good.
I picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in my mouth. The taste was amazing.
As for Su Niannian, she pretended to go back to her room to put her things away, but in fact, she put the two boxes directly into the space as soon as she entered the room.
After coming out, he and Gu Nan toasted every table.
This meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
It is indeed rare to eat such food, it is better than during the Chinese New Year.
I am afraid that this banquet will become the ceiling of banquets in Kaoshan Village in the future.
Today, the village chief Li Guofu also arrived. He heard last night that the banquet for Gu Nan's wedding was very good. When he saw the main banquet today, he was really enlightened.
Although Li Guofu usually embezzled a lot of money, he seldom ate like this.
At this time, he also started eating with all his might.
He really regretted not bringing his whole family here.
Such a banquet also made Li Guofu think of one thing, that is, how could Gu Nan's family have so much money to organize all this.
Could it be that Gu Nan’s family has some treasure?
Thinking of this, Li Guofu's eyes rolled around and he looked around, but he didn't find anything good.
Coincidentally, Su Niannian and Gu Nan came to the table to toast.
First, they toasted Jiang Aiguo, and as the witness, Jiang Aiguo said many words of blessing.
Su Niannian laughed happily, and so did Gu Nan.
When they arrived at the village chief Li Guofu, Li Guofu found an excuse to ask casually.
"You guys have prepared such a great banquet. A lot of money has been spent on it. If it weren't for this wedding, I wouldn't have known that the Gu family has so much wealth." Li Guofu's words clearly had hidden meaning.
I was just asking Gu Nan how he got so much money.
Seeing that Gu Nan didn't say anything, Li Guofu continued, "And the betrothal gift for your wife, I heard that it costs three turns and one ring. Are you making money secretly?" After Li Guofu finished speaking, he laughed twice, pretending to be casual.
Just as Gu Nan was about to speak, Su Niannian took the lead.
"Shh, village chief, keep your voice down."
"My Gu Nan is just a peasant from the countryside. He works so hard to earn a few work points. How much money can he have? Isn't this..."
Su Niannian pointed at herself quietly and then gave a very confident smile.
It was obvious that Su Niannian was secretly telling Li Guofu that the money came from her.
"Oh? How can you, a little girl, have so much money?" Li Guofu showed an expression that he understood immediately, but continued to ask curiously.
"I am a very good Chinese medicine doctor!" Su Niannian spoke vaguely, as if she had said it, but also as if she hadn't said it.
Jiang Aiguo, who was standing by, couldn't stand Li Guofu's attitude of getting to the bottom of things.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "You two should go and have a toast, then we can have dinner!"
"You can't be busy all the time when you're married and not eat!"
When Jiang Aiguo saw the question Li Guofu asked, he knew that he was not holding back his fart, so he quickly interrupted him.
Su Niannian and Gu Nan smiled at each other, nodded to the village chief and Secretary Jiang, and continued to toast.
Li Guofu actually understood what Su Niannian meant. She said that she made a lot of money by treating people, and the wedding expenses and the three turns and one ring all came from her. He lowered his voice and said this because he didn't want to embarrass the groom, Gu Nan.
But even if Su Niannian has good medical skills, can she earn several thousand dollars from her medical skills?
Li Guofu was a little bit unconvinced and even wanted to figure out where these two people got their money.
Why does it feel like they both have more money than I do?
Thinking of this, Li Guofu's eyes lit up.
On the other side, Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan also came to the wedding banquet.
During the whole process, Zhao Sulan was so angry that her teeth were itching. She tried her best to stuff big pieces of meat into her mouth.
Lu Xingguang frowned when he saw this. Zhao Sulan's way of eating was like a starving ghost, which really made him feel ashamed.
He couldn't even eat as well as the old farmer next to him.
Zhao Sulan was so busy cursing Su Niannian in her heart and eating that she didn't notice Lu Xingguang's disgusted expression beside her.
Zhao Sulan felt that she didn't even have a wedding when she married a man like Lu Xingguang, so how could Su Niannian, who married a country boy, have such a wedding?
This kind of food is probably better than what some people have at their weddings in the city, right?
And Su Niannian’s wedding dress was so beautiful that Zhao Sulan had never seen such beautiful clothes.
Where on earth could a peasant like Gu Nan get so much money to buy a three-wheeler and a ring for Su Niannian and hold such a wedding?
When writing the accounts just now, Zhao Sulan originally wanted to give a dime or two as a token of her appreciation, but Lu Xingguang insisted on giving two dollars for the sake of face, which made Zhao Sulan very unhappy.
As a result, after seeing such a meal again, after Zhao Sulan had dealt with Huang Yingying, the person she hated the most was Su Niannian.
This is how he eats his enemy to vent his anger.
After Su Niannian and Gu Nan had toasted everyone, Song Zhaodi handed a dozen dollars and the account book of favors to Su Niannian.
"This is the gift money we received, and this is the account book. The food and other things have been placed in your eldest brother's room." Song Zhaodi said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian took it with a smile, but did not count the money in front of him.
This is different from settling accounts in business. Such gift money includes both large and small bills, and cannot be counted in front of the guests.
So Su Niannian just put it in her own wedding room.
Although the money was not much, Su Niannian still pretended to put it in the cabinet and actually put it in the space.
When Su Niannian came out again, the guests had already finished eating and drinking, and many of them had already left.
Of course, some people also packed some leftovers to take home.
This is called Zheluo in rural Northeast China.
Although there is usually nothing left over at banquets, Gu Nan's family prepared a lot and the dishes were large, so there were quite a few left over, which were all packed up and taken away.
