Chapter 95: Wedding 2
"Brother, come here, let me introduce you. This is Sister Hong, one of my partners." The latter sentence was said in a low voice to Li Wen.
Li Wen looked up and down at this person called Sister Hong. She had a gangster air and looked like she was no ordinary person.
"Hello, just call me Honglian. You are Li Meng's brother. I am definitely older than you, so I will call you Brother Li." Sister Hong walked forward and greeted Li Wen gracefully.
"Hello, my name is Li Wen. Please take good care of my sister in the future. Please bear with me if anything happens," Li Wen also greeted Honglian politely.
Soon after, Mr. Song, the two brothers of the Song family, and Xiaodouzi all arrived. The four of them came in Old Chen's car. When Old Chen heard that they were coming to Li Zhiqing's house, he drove them directly to the door.
Li Meng saw it and grabbed a handful of fruit candies and stuffed them into the hands of Old Chen, the driver. Old Chen smiled and kept saying congratulations.
After the person was brought in and handed over to Li Wen, Li Meng went to the kitchen to busy herself. She didn't need to do anything, just give instructions. The four aunts worked efficiently and neatly, so she just had to say something.
"Sister Mengmeng, your house is so beautiful." Xiaodouzi poked his little head out to look into the kitchen.
Li Meng pinched a fried meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, making his eyes light up with joy.
"You are great, kid. You have good taste. Go for a walk by yourself. I will talk to you when I am done with my work." Li Meng sent Xiaodouzi out. Xiaodouzi nodded and went to play by himself obediently.
At this time, Li Laidi washed the dishes and brought them in, whispering, "Wang Zhu and Wu Wen from the Youth Courtyard are here. I asked Wang Fang to take them in. I saw that they were the only ones here, and the annoying guy didn't come."
Li Meng smiled and said that Liu Huan would not come. She was very self-aware of this.
Aunt Ma's family and Aunt Huang's family all came, but not everyone came. Only a few representatives came and all four tables were occupied.
Wang Daguo's wife whispered to Wang Daguo, "Who is this Li Zhiqing? Look at the melon seeds and candies on the table. They are not cheap. How great would it be if she was our daughter-in-law? Aren't they all ours?"
"You old woman have no sense of propriety. What do you want? How could someone like our family? You are dreaming. It's better not to say anything about it." Wang Daguo was still very calm. What kind of person is his own son? He is not even worthy of carrying other people's shoes. The old woman is really bold in her imagination.
"I was just talking. Look at you..." Wang Daguo's wife shut her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that the old man would hit her.
Seeing that everyone was there, Li Meng asked four aunts to serve the dishes.
Seeing the dishes being served one after another, Wang Daguo and his wife stared with their eyes wide open.
The Song brothers hung the firecrackers they brought on bamboo poles and took Xiao Douzi to the gate to start setting off firecrackers.
The crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard throughout the village.
After sitting down, Li Meng secretly pulled Li Wen's collar with her hand, indicating that he could just say a few words before the meal could begin.
Li Wen stood up and spoke in a loud voice.
"Thank you all for coming to my sister's housewarming party today, and thank you all for your help and love for my sister. Please don't be too polite and make sure to eat and drink well today. Now I would like to ask the team leader to say a few words, and then we can start the meal. Come on, please welcome the team leader." Then he led the applause.
Led by Li Wen, everyone clapped their hands and waited for the captain to finish speaking before they could start.
The captain grinned and said, "These brother and sister asked me to speak." What should I say?
He coughed lightly, stood up, and raised his glass to everyone.
"Let me say a few words. Li Zhiqing is a good girl. She is hardworking and willing to help others. Today she has moved to a new home and officially become a resident of our brigade. I am very happy. Come, let's raise our glasses together and congratulate Li Meng and Li Zhiqing on having a better and more prosperous life in the future. Cheers."
Li Meng held her forehead with her hand ╮(╯▽╰)╭Are the first two sentences really referring to her? How come she doesn't know it herself?
Everyone raised their glasses, drank, and started eating.
Wang Daguo was okay, after all, he was the head of the village, so he was still reserved. But his wife was not. She was just a rural farming woman. When she saw so many delicious dishes, her chopsticks left afterimages. The team leader and his wife at the same table opened their mouths wide. How long had they been hungry?
Wang Daguo also felt the gazes of others, and his face turned red when he saw his wife eating.
"What are you doing, woman? There is no food for you at home. How can everyone eat if you act like this?" Wang Daguo went up and hit his wife with a chopstick, asking her to restrain herself.
"Old man, why did you hit me? Eat quickly!" Wang Daguo's wife was not moved at all. She just kept eating and didn't notice how much disgust others looked at her with.
Wang Daguo looked around and pulled his wife's sleeve hard. His wife then raised her head and saw the eyes of the people around them. Her face turned red and her lips trembled as she said, "Haha, the food at Teacher Li's house is really delicious. Let's eat, everyone, don't look at me." Then she slowed down and didn't dare to eat like a starving ghost as she did just now.
Li Meng didn't pay attention to what happened at the table. She was holding up her wine glass and clinking glasses with Honglian to thank her for bringing the dressing table. She took the time to take a look at it. It was an old item, very exquisite, probably used by the ladies of wealthy families in the past.
"Sister Hong, if you have old items like this in the future, remember to keep them for me, your sister. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss."
When Honglian heard Li Meng say this, she was delighted. She knew what Li Meng meant and agreed happily.
Li Meng took Li Wen and went to each table to thank the friends who came to the banquet today. No matter what others thought, being able to come today was a gift of face, and a toast was what they should do.
Everyone present was enjoying the meal happily. Such a good feast was rare in the countryside, with good wine, cigarettes, and dishes, and plenty of meat. Who could not be happy with the meal?
After eating and drinking, everyone said hello and said goodbye one after another, and the few people who stayed behind helped to clean up the tables and chairs.
"Captain, thank you for coming to help me take charge of the situation today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do." Li Meng flattered him with a smile.
"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's all small matters. If you have any problem, just continue to look for your uncle. It's cold now and there's nothing to do in the fields. Don't worry, if your uncle doesn't come, your aunt won't let him have an easy time." Before the captain spoke, the eldest daughter-in-law spoke.
The captain's face was very long. His daughter-in-law was too disrespectful to him outside.
After hearing what the captain's wife said, Li Meng covered her mouth and laughed.
"Girl, that's nothing, we'll leave first," the captain hadn't finished speaking when he heard a woman's sharp voice at the door.
"Brother, brother, are you there? Come out quickly!" I am living such a miserable life because of Li Meng, please come out and give me justice," and then he burst into tears and screamed!
