Chapter 302

There were more than twenty tables at the wedding banquet, and Chen Dongzhi drank no less than a jar of wine. Fortunately, his wine was diluted with water after his wife had asked Aunt Huang about it in advance, otherwise he would have inevitably suffered some bad consequences after drinking so much wine.

People who used to be taciturn couldn't stop smiling when they encountered such a big happy event.

The villagers' constant laughter made his already red face even more obvious, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Mother Chen was entertaining Madam Yu and others. Zhou Yuyan's two children were taken away by the wet nurse to sleep. She now had her hands free to eat. She was a person who used to have elegant manners, but now she didn't care whether her movements were nice or not, and reached into the fruit plate.

The fruit plate is filled with grapes, apples and strawberries. A bunch of green grapes is placed in the fruit plate, the apples are placed in the corner, and there are strawberries in the middle.

She had never seen such a fruit with such a sweet fragrance. After taking one and tasting it, she felt her mouth watering.

The skin is thin and tender, the flesh is plump and juicy, and has a strong fragrance.

I don't know how this fruit is grown. Zhou Yuyan thought that He'er would definitely like this novel fruit. Unfortunately, her husband ordered her to memorize a whole book today, otherwise she would not be allowed to go out for a month.

So the only ones who came to the banquet were her, her mother-in-law, and the twins. Poor He'er was still in dire straits in the mansion. Why not ask the host for some fruits to take back and cheer him up?

The wedding banquet lasted until it was completely dark, and took several hours. Dishes were brought up one after another, and new ones were brought up after the dishes were finished.

In order to avoid too many people coming and the embarrassing situation of not having enough food, Chen's mother asked the villagers to prepare what could be prepared early.

The chickens and ducks are bought and raised first, and the fish are caught one day in advance. Everything else is prepared in advance, and there must be more, not less, so that people cannot come to the wedding and go back with an empty stomach or without enough.

Because a lot of food was prepared, there was still some food left on many tables. Sun Tao and Li Guihua took a few aunts to pour all the food that could not be kept into wooden barrels to feed the chickens and pigs.

There are still some that are edible. If the villagers want them, they can take some back.

After Mrs. Yu and others finished the wedding banquet, they took the gifts they brought and went back. Before leaving, Zhou Yuyan shamelessly asked for some grapes and strawberries to take back.

Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal?" Then she went straight to the kitchen, put the two fruits Zhou Yuyan wanted into a food box and gave it to her.

Boss Wu pulled Uncle Huang aside and said, "Brother, your wine is really good! I wonder how much it costs. If I want more, can you give me a discount?"

The two of them were arm in arm, like a pair of good brothers.

Sun Tao and others had packed up everything that needed to be packed, and Chen Dongzhi returned to his new house.

In the room, the red candles were shedding red wax, making both of their faces look a little red.

Zhong Ruyi took a deep breath and asked Chen Dongzhi, who reeked of alcohol, to take a shower before going to bed to rest.

Soon, the two people who had washed themselves were sitting face to face. The red bed curtains had fallen down at some point, hiding the spring scene in the room.

The candle on the table was burning with a crackling sound. After a night, it burned out. The sunlight shone in from the window, and the room was quiet.

Chen Dongzhi got out of bed quietly, and Zhong Ruyi was still sleeping beside him.

noon.

Xiaoxue stuck her head out and looked outside, wondering whether her brother and sister-in-law would come home for dinner today.

My mother said that my brother and sister-in-law should live their own lives from now on, and they should not disturb them if possible.

But last night when I went to accompany my sister-in-law, she told them to come over to visit her often, she would cook a lot of delicious food, and they could stay there if they wanted.

Xiaoxue rolled her eyes. Although what her mother said was right, newlyweds should have some private space. It would be better to wait until her brother goes out and then go to find her sister-in-law so as not to disturb them.

Anyway, she has wanted to eat the cake made by her sister-in-law for a long time, and her sister-in-law has promised her that she will make it for her when she is free!

Although it was very unkind, she couldn't wait for her brother to come back after being away for a few days.

In the evening, the couple went to Chen's mother's house for dinner.

Mother Chen was very enthusiastic at the dinner table. She kept using her chopsticks to put food into Zhong Ruyi's bowl. "Ruyi, this fried vegetable with lard is very fragrant. Try it!"

Zhong Ruyi smiled and nodded, and also picked up a piece of braised pork for Chen's mother. The meat was leftover from yesterday's wedding banquet.

As the vegetables entered her mouth, her expression remained unchanged, but she silently thought in her heart that her mother-in-law's food was still too bland, and it seemed as if the vegetables had no salt in them.

But when she went to eat again the next day, she ate a dish of braised pork ribs that were freshly made.

She likes it quite a lot. She doesn't like fatty food. The ones with bones are the best to chew, but as soon as they enter her mouth, she wants to drink water.

Chen Dongzhi next to him promptly handed over a bowl of soup.

After I gulped it down, the salty taste in my mouth was finally gone. It was really too salty.

But this soup?

She smacked her lips. The soup was too bland. It would be more like the same taste if it was mixed with the pork ribs.

On the third day, she was ready to go to her mother-in-law's house, but Chen Dongzhi stopped her and said, "Starting today, we won't go. Let's eat by ourselves."

Zhong Ruyi blinked. Did he also think that his mother-in-law’s cooking was too salty?

Since that was what she said, she didn't act pretentiously and just sat down. Chen Dongzhi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Soon three dishes and a soup were served: stir-fried meat with green peppers, stir-fried chicken offal with pickled radish, and fried eggs with green beans. The soup was mushroom soup, which was so delicious that it made your mouth water.

Chen Dongzhi's craftsmanship cannot be said to be very good, but his level is far superior to that of Chen's mother, surpassing her.

After being bored at home for a month, Zhong Ruyi had to get up in the middle of the night to boil water for a bath more and more often. He could not stand it anymore. He was looking forward to him going out to escort the goods, otherwise he would suffer from kidney deficiency.

One month after the wedding, Chen Dongzhi was assigned a task to escort goods to Nanzhou. He was reluctant to leave before leaving. "There are many delicious fruits in Nanzhou. Do you want to go with me to relax?"

"No, I won't go." Zhong Ruyi shook her head firmly and refused. Just kidding, except for the first day of their marriage when they made some mistakes because it was their first time, after that the man learned some tricks and started to do it endlessly, if she followed him again, wouldn't she be eaten dry?

Hearing this, Chen Dongzhi, feeling somewhat disappointed, put on the clothes and dry food his wife had prepared for him and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he was handed a small purse.

"Here, how can you go out without money? Here are twenty taels of silver. Buy whatever you want."

On the first night of their marriage, the man gave her all his silver, a total of more than one thousand taels of silver. He earned more than two hundred taels from escorting, and the bulk of it was from hunting, a total of eight hundred taels.

After Chen Dongzhi left, Zhong Ruyi locked the door, took the clothes back and went back home.

In the yard, Liu Yu Niang's face was full of joy. The new house had been built, and it would be built in ten days. She had already moved everything that could be moved there in the past few days.

Seeing her younger sister coming back, she quickly handed Lanlan from her arms to her, "Little sister, help me hold her for a while. I'm going to collect the clothes. There are so many dark clouds in the sky. I think it will rain soon."

Lanlan ate well, and her exposed little hands and feet were as white and tender as lotus roots, making people want to bite them leaving marks.

Seeing that someone else was holding her, she stopped crying and making a fuss. She opened her big eyes and looked at him curiously. After looking for a while, she didn't know what she thought of, but she burst into laughter.

Soon, Liu Yu Niang came back after collecting the clothes and took the child back. Zhong Ruyi looked around but did not see Cuicui and Zhang Mingzhu.

She couldn't help but ask where the two of them had gone.

"I went to the mountain with Xiaozhu and Xiaohua to dig chicken-foot mushrooms early in the morning. The two cans of chicken-foot oil you made last time are finished, so they wanted to go up and see if there is any. If there is, dig some and bring it back to make."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door.

Zhang Mingzhu and Cuicui came back carrying an empty basket, their faces covered in sweat and leaves stuck in their hair.

I spent the whole morning there and didn't pick up a single hair.

However, when they learned that Zhong Ruyi had come back to live, the two were very happy, especially Zhang Mingzhu, who clamored to eat cake. Although Cuicui didn't say anything, she also looked expectant.

Looking at Zhang Mingzhu's increasingly round face, Zhong Ruyi was a little worried that she would eat too many desserts and become a fat girl.

But when she met their expectant eyes, she agreed for some unknown reason.

Never mind, let’s do this for the last time.
