Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Chen Shanhe: “…”
Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian moved out of the new house to make room for the family of three.
Jiang Shiyue held Yangyang on her knees and coaxed him softly: "Yangyang, I'm sorry."
Jiang Shiyue carefully explained to Yangyang that wanting to have a girl does not mean that she does not like him, and that the next little girl will also be Yangyang's sister.
He said that helping the little girl who fell down has nothing to do with whether he likes her or not. He would help anyone who fell down in his house, even if it was an old lady.
Chen Shanhe sat opposite Yangyang, touched Yangyang's little head, and promised concisely: "Don't worry! As long as you don't agree, there will be no brother or sister."
Simple and crude, but effective.
Yangyang was obviously more relaxed and no longer so distant.
Jiang Shiyue kissed Yangyang on the forehead and said, "I'm sorry. I was a little emotional at the time and spoke out of anger, ignoring your feelings. Dad is right, we are a family, even if we want to have a little brother or sister in the future, we will get your consent."
After coaxing for a long time, Yangyang's face finally turned from gloomy to bright.
Of course, to others, there is not much difference, Yangyang still has that expressionless face.
Yang Yang turned around and hugged Jiang Shiyue, pressing close to her and whispering, "Can you please not hug other little girls in the future?"
She spoke coquettishly in a cold voice, with a hint of fierce cuteness.
Jiang Shiyue wanted to laugh but was afraid that Yangyang would be angry, so she forced herself to hold it back. She nodded and promised with a stern face, "From now on, I will only hug our Yangyang."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "You can only hug me if Yangyang agrees."
What if Tai gives birth to a girl after she dies?
Chen Shanhe obviously didn't want Yangyang to be so overbearing, so he asked Yangyang, "Can I hold Mengmeng?"
Yangyang: “…”
Jiang Shiyue couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.
Chen Shanhe is the evil one!
**
It was 10:58 in the morning.
The deafening sound of firecrackers rang out again.
The wedding banquet officially began and the bride and groom began to toast.
Chen Shanhe held the white wine pot in one hand and held Jiang Shiyue's hand. Yangyang followed beside him, holding a wooden tray with two small white wine glasses on it.
There was only one table on the Chen family's side, where Chen Shanhe's uncle, aunt and aunt sat. Normally, they should accompany the bride's relatives of the same blood relationship, but Jiang Shiyue's family only had two friends, Li Chuntian and Lu Zheng, who were there to make up the number.
When Jiang Shiyue entered the room, she saw Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian sitting stiffly in the main seats, surrounded by a group of elderly men and women. They looked extremely uncomfortable.
The key point is that the old men and women can't speak Mandarin, they all speak the local dialect. Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian can't understand them at all and can only smile.
But this smile seems a little unsmart in the eyes of others.
Jiang Shiyue laughed unkindly, and under the resentful eyes of Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian, she whispered to Chen Shanhe, "Is this your work?"
Chen Shanhe's innocent face.
Jiang Shiyue didn't believe him. Given Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian's age, no one would say anything even if they sat at their brother and sister-in-law's table. After all, their brother and sister-in-law were younger and wouldn't be so restrained.
Chen Shanhe explained righteously: "This is the main guest seat. The most important guests sit at this table."
Jiang Shiyue smiled, raised her hand, pinched the soft flesh on Chen Shanhe's waist and twisted it hard.
Chen Shanhe's body tensed instantly. He tried to hold Jiang Shiyue's hand without changing his expression and quietly admitted his mistake: "I'll take them away in a moment."
Jiang Shiyue then let go.
Chen Shanhe picked up the white wine glass and filled two glasses with wine. He handed one to Jiang Shiyue and raised one for himself.
Jiang Shiyue saw that it was a thumb cup and thought it was very small, so she didn't think much about it and drank it all.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He whispered to Jiang Shiyue, "This wine has a strong aftereffect, drink less."
He has to do it, and Jiang Shiyue can do whatever she wants.
The seventh uncle walked in front and introduced Jiang Shiyue, "This is your uncle, Chen Jianguo, and your aunt Miao Cuicui."
Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue toasted separately again. Miao Cuicui put down her wine glass and took out a red envelope and handed it to Jiang Shiyue.
This is called toast money.
Everyone at the table praised Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue as a good match, and whoever they toasted had to give out a red envelope.
Lu Zheng reacted quickly and found a way to save himself. He took the tray from Yang Yang and accepted the red envelope.
The red envelopes given by these relatives were not the kind with beautiful covers that Jiang Shiyue had seen in her previous life. They were just money wrapped in red paper used for couplets.
Li Chuntian followed suit and offered to take care of Yangyang.
After toasting at one table, move on to the next.
The brother-in-law and sister-in-law table is set up at the neighbor's house.
Chen Shanhe and his wife prepared twelve tables of banquets for their wedding, all of which were arranged in the neighbors' houses.
For every household that was requisitioned, a red note would be posted on the door indicating which table the guests should sit at.
For example, the guest of honor, the guests in the hall, etc.
Red paper slips are also used at funerals.
This was also one of the customs of the production team. When setting up banquets for weddings or funerals, they would borrow rooms, tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, benches, etc. from neighbors.
They all help voluntarily and there is no charge. They are also responsible for cleaning up and washing the dishes.
There is a tacit rule that the leftover food on the table should belong to the host whose tables, chairs and benches were requisitioned.
In the 1970s, rural conditions were not good and many families could not eat meat once a year. However, the banquets consisted of eight large dishes, more than half of which were meat dishes.
Most people who eat at banquets are very particular and do not eat all the food in the bowl. This means there will be surplus every year.
Most people only take food from the small area in front of them, for fear that others will say behind their backs that they are unruly and unworldly.
There will absolutely be no snatching of food or seats.
Therefore, the host is very willing to have the banquet held at his own home.
Jiang Shiyue and Chen Shanhe toasted at each table.
