Chapter 19 Wedding Banquet
The cabbage, vermicelli, tofu and pork belly stewed together are so delicious that it makes you tempted. Usually we eat steamed bread made from whole grains, but these cornmeal steamed breads are the best. Everyone is eating them with great enthusiasm, with their faces greasy and their faces full of enthusiasm.
Zhao Sheng took Lin Yiyi's hand and walked into the house, saying calmly: "I'll bring the food to you. There are too many people outside so they won't tease you."
Lin Yiyi nodded obediently.
After the food was brought into the room, he said a few more words and then went out to the main table to drink and talk about business.
There was a big bowl of stew on the kang table, which made Lin Yiyi cry. And the corn buns. She didn't have a big appetite to begin with, but she managed to eat three of them. The meat was so delicious that it made her stomach upset once she put it in her mouth.
Having meat to eat is a life like heaven.
Lin Yiyi sighed as she ate her meal in big gulps.
The contrast between this and the life at the educated youth camp is completely like the gap between a mountain savage and a well-off family. Getting married is the best thing she has ever done, no doubt about it.
Wow, it smells so good. It’s only been half a month, but it feels like two lifetimes ago.
It turns out that marrying reality has everything, and this saying is applicable everywhere.
The unpredictable changes in life are hard to understand. After all, Lin Yiyi is a school beauty. She never expected that there would be a day when she would choose to get married just to eat better and stop doing farm work. What is going on?
In the past, when I heard my roommates talk about their grandparents’ love, how they got married because of new clothes or a pair of leather shoes, I sneered and thought it was frivolous. But when I really put myself in their shoes and lived in that era, I realized that they were very sober.
Those who can afford new clothes and leather shoes must be working-class families. They work hard in the fields to make ends meet, so where would they get the spare money and tickets to buy these things?
A random set of clothes and shoes can be worth half a month's salary, so if you meet a man who is willing to buy them, that means it is true love. You have both bread and love, and you can get married and start a family.
By the time Lin Yiyi had finished her meal, the hustle and bustle outside had almost calmed down. After lunch, everyone had to go back to work.
Those who go back can brag about this pork stewed with vermicelli in the village. Many families may not eat meat all year round. The wedding banquet has few dishes but the quantity is sufficient. The pork and vermicelli are so delicious that it will make you salivate.
Lin Yiyi didn't want the house to smell like food all the time, so she took the dishes out. When she came out, all the immediate relatives at the main table were still there.
Huang Juhua, the wife of the village chief Zhao, saw Lin Yiyi coming out.
She was prettier than a flower, and her clothes were extremely fashionable. She had never seen clothes made of such material, and her shoes were so fashionable. She thought people from big cities were different. She felt jealous and said in a sharp voice, "Look, the new bride is coming out to meet her parents-in-law."
A pair of pea-sized eyes looked up and down at Lin Yiyi, "My short-lived niece is really..."
"What are you talking about!" Village Chief Zhao Tieniu said angrily with a sullen face, "If you can't speak, shut up."
Everyone at the table stared at the yellow chrysanthemum with different expressions.
Lin Yiyi: “…”
Mother Zhao also looked unhappy. "His aunt, I don't like what you said. We have already explained the previous matter clearly. What do you mean by bringing it up again now?"
Huang Juhua, this old hag.
Introduce her a black-hearted niece as a daughter-in-law.
She also suffered her own fate. She was honest when she first got married, but after she gave birth to a son, she went to her parents' house to ask for things every day.
She would take her son back to her parents' home at any time, and would not return to her husband's home unless she got money and food, thus robbing her family of all their assets.
She used all her money to support her two younger brothers.
When my younger brother from my natal family gets married, he always tries every means to get money from my husband's family. If they don't give him money, they will abuse Tiedan as a threat.
The family was tortured by her for almost a year, and they couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked for a divorce. As a result, this short-lived girl died in a car accident.
Even after death there is still no peace.
The daughter-in-law’s family said that Wang Caihong was a vicious mother-in-law who abused her daughter-in-law to death.
It was clearly a case of being hit by a car, and the whole family came to the door crying and trying to find legal means to demand compensation, ready to make a fortune.
Not only did this damn Huang Juhua introduce a black-hearted woman, he also helped her family to ask for money from her family.
There's no other way, we have to live.
Only after we gave it to them did we resolve the terrible issue. The whole family had a miserable year.
This old bitch Huang Juhua is deliberately causing trouble for her family today, so she will tear her mouth apart.
"If you bring up this shit again, don't come to my house anymore. Ugh, you rotten, heartless bastards, a whole family of beasts!"
Huang Juhua's face turned pale with anger after being scolded, but she was afraid that Zhao Tieniu would be mad and hit her, so she said, "Sister-in-law, I just remembered that my niece died at a young age, and I lost my mouth and said something wrong. Don't take it to heart."
"If you miss her, go and accompany her." Zhao Sheng's eyes were cold and his words were creepy.
This person is gone now, so going to keep him company would be tantamount to committing suicide.
This sentence made Huang Juhua speechless. She made an excuse that the clothes at home had not been dried yet and left quickly.
This bloody family ethics drama left Lin Yiyi, who was standing at the door, stunned. Zhao Sheng had a very vicious tongue and ended the fight with just one sentence.
"Lin Yiyi, put the bowl here. If you are tired, go back to your room and take a nap." Zhao Sheng said with a dark face, but his words showed concern.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Lin Yiyi didn't want to get involved, so she went straight back to the house without asking any more questions.
She heard every word of the conversation just now. It seems that the ex-wife must have done a great disservice to the Zhao family, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to fight as soon as the ex-wife was mentioned.
I heard that savage-faced woman say that she was her niece or a relative. I guess this gossip is extremely melodramatic.
She was originally wondering how Zhao Sheng could easily solve the problem of her not going to work. It turned out that the village chief was his uncle.
It's just a matter of one sentence.
No wonder Zhao Sheng agreed so readily to the blind date.
In this era, labor is the most glorious thing, and there is always an excuse for not going to work.
It's useful to have relatives.
Lin Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden free time, and there was nothing to do for entertainment.
Turn out the mattress and lay it out.
She combed her hair, took off her clothes and went straight into bed.
It was my first time sleeping on a kang, and the mattress was so thin that I couldn’t fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
The windows of this room are the kind that look like frosted glass, and you can't see outside.
But the light was transparent, and the room was so bright that she couldn't take a nap.
She stood up again and took out the original owner's red scarf and covered her face with it. She was afraid of suffocating if she covered herself with clothes, so this scarf was just right.
Lying down again, she suddenly remembered Lin Daiyu in the Story of the Stone that she had read before. She covered her face with a silk scarf when she slept during the day. She was puzzled at that time, but now she has some understanding of it.
What you didn’t understand at the time, time will give you the answer later.
After Zhao Sheng finished drinking with his father and uncle, he returned the borrowed benches and tables.
He tiptoed into the room and looked at the woman sleeping on the kang covered with a red scarf, feeling a little confused.
Reach out and uncover the scarf.
Lin Yiyi's sleeping face was rosy, her cheeks were rosy, and her thick eyelashes were like two small brushes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He had an idea and reached out to poke her cheek. It was so soft and smooth that he couldn't help but want to pinch it.
However, the person in the sleep seemed to feel the harassment, frowned, pouted his pink lips, turned to his side and continued to sleep.
Zhao Sheng's eyes were filled with smiles, his thin lips curled slightly, and he put the silk scarf back to its original place, went out to boil water for a bath, and he was afraid of stinking of alcohol to disturb others.
