In those days, people were short of food and clothing, so although it was called a banquet, it was actually very simple.
There are ten tables in total, each table has four cold dishes, four hot dishes, and a soup, and that’s it!
But even with such a simple banquet, the villagers still rushed to the table, fearing that they would be left behind.
Liu Da Nao is really good at cooking. He can make even the simplest dishes delicious, especially the two meat dishes, which have aroused the appetite of the villagers!
But it’s not time to start the meal yet.
Because the village chief took Cheng Xiangdong, Cheng Xiangnan, and several young men from his family to the educated youth site to pick up the bride.
They also used the cart commonly used by villagers to pick up the bride.
When Lu Chen was asked to get on the cart, his expression was extremely unnatural, but he had no say and could only get on the cart.
When Lu Chen arrived at the door of his house, Cheng Mingyue was also led out of the yard by her mother.
The wedding ceremony at this time was very simple.
They first read a passage of quotations, then took out their marriage certificate for everyone to see, and then the village chief announced that the meal could begin.
Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen were also sent back to their rooms.
The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Lu Chen cleared his throat, picked up the high school textbook on the cabinet, and asked casually, "Are you still reading?"
Cheng Mingyue pouted and said, "I'm free anyway, so I might as well read a book to kill time."
In fact, in Cheng Mingyue's heart, she and Lu Chen were really strangers, and she was not a particularly enthusiastic person, so her answer was a bit casual.
Seeing that Cheng Mingyue really had no intention of chatting with him, Lu Chen didn't force her and picked up the textbook and flipped through it.
Speaking of which, Lu Chen hasn't read a book for a long time.
When he first went to the countryside, his leg was broken. The people gave him a few pieces of clothes and threw him on the train. He didn't bring any of the books he had bought before.
Seeing the familiar textbooks at this moment, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.
If it weren't for those sudden changes, with his academic performance, it would be a piece of cake for him to get into a top university in China, but now he really doesn't know what his future will be like.
Am I going to stay in this small mountain village for the rest of my life?
He is unwilling to accept it!
The room was so small that even if Cheng Mingyue didn't want to pay attention to Lu Chen, she could still notice that he suddenly became listless.
Her brows couldn't help but furrow.
What's going on?!
Didn't we already agree on a marriage by agreement? Who is he trying to show off his lifeless attitude to?!
Cheng Mingyue felt a little bored. She turned her head and sat down on the edge of the kang, staring at the calendar on the wall in a daze.
Wang Guihua went into the house to bring them food. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the two of them sitting with their backs to each other, one at one end of the kang and the other at the other end. The distance between them was wider than the Milky Way drawn by the Queen Mother.
Wang Guihua's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, then she pretended to know nothing and warmly invited Lu Chen to have dinner.
"Lu Zhiqing is really studious. She didn't forget to study even when she was married. She's much more diligent than my Yue'er. Her books are covered in dust, but she never even flips through them..."
Wang Guihua put the food on the tray on the cabinet and kept praising Lu Chen.
Cheng Mingyue: “…”
If you want to praise him, just praise him. What's the point of stepping on me at the same time?
Wang Guihua glared at Cheng Mingyue fiercely.
My daughter is such a blockhead, not smart at all. Where did the energy she had in chasing after Qin Lang go?
Now there is a handsome guy standing in her room, and she is just staring at him stupidly.
What a waste of Lu Zhiqing's handsome face.
Wang Guihua and the village chief have been thinking about it for the past two days, and in the end they still hope that her daughter and Lu Chen can get married.
In their minds, as long as two people have a child, they have a bond and naturally become husband and wife, just like their generation, who were arranged by their parents and matchmakers, but after spending a long time together, they have spent their whole lives together.
Wang Guihua winked at Cheng Mingyue again, then went out with the tray, closing the door behind them.
Cheng Mingyue was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She really couldn't understand what was going on in her mother's head.
Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.
Cheng Mingyue picked up the bowl from the cupboard and started eating without saying a word.
Lu Chen hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and he was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back, so he stopped being pretentious.
The two of them kept silent and just focused on eating.
After finishing their meal, the two began to look at each other again, both feeling as if the air was frozen when they were together, and feeling suffocated.
Lu Chen was a taciturn person to begin with, but Cheng Mingyue, who was with him, was even more taciturn and didn't say a word.
Finally, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask: "What are your ideas for the future?!"
"I don't have any ideas. I'll just take it one day at a time!" Cheng Mingyue answered without thinking.
Lu Chen felt a little upset. He had seen Cheng Mingyue being so enthusiastic in front of Qin Lang before. She was a real chatterbox. Why was she so cold towards him?
He felt that he looked much better than the pretentious Qin Lang. Could it be because of his legs?
Yes.
He's a cripple now!
Besides, he couldn't even support himself. If I hadn't saved her, she would never have married me.
Even if it was just a marriage by agreement, I would not be considered by her.
Lu Chen was in a state of confusion, and Cheng Mingyue was also very anxious.
