Chapter 163 The guests enjoy themselves
"Song Zhengan's cooking skills are really amazing." Someone at the banquet said,
"That's right. No wonder this craft has been around for decades."
"It has to be said that this pork with preserved vegetables is a must-try dish."
"Yes, yes, it's really satisfying. This one bite can replace all the meat I eat for a month."
"Haha, you are such a generous person. The Song Bai family is willing to spend money to treat us to such a good meal."
"Yes, in the past, there were only five or six dishes at most at a banquet, and the amount of meat was only a few chopsticks per person."
"We have agreed that we will share the leftovers and take them home. No one is allowed to fight over them."
"Hey, you're making us sound shameless. Don't wait until you're the first to grab it." As soon as this person said this, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Some tables had men, so some tables had wine. They drank from bowls, eating and drinking with big fish and meat, and they were so happy.
Song Lao Er and Song Lao Da ate a little to fill their stomachs, then took the wine jars and bowls and went from table to table to greet everyone and toast.
At the table with men, when the men saw Song Lao Er and his friends coming, they would take the initiative to stand up and chat with them for a few minutes and then toast each other.
If there were only women at the table, Song Lao Er and his friends would say something like "thank you for your hard work today" and then let everyone eat well.
They went around each table in turn like this before the two brothers continued to sit at their own table to eat and drink.
To say that the wedding banquet was a great success for all the guests would be a mistake, because there were still some people who were unhappy: the two sisters, Mrs. Song and Song Chunhua.
Mrs. Song knew that her youngest son had built a new house, but she couldn't bring herself to come and see it. Today, she wandered around the new house and found that it was really nice.
The house is large, spacious, and impressive. Even the houses of the landlords in the village are not decorated like that. I don’t know how they came up with it. It’s a two-story building.
She thought that if the family had not split up, she could also live in such a spacious and magnificent house. She felt that her life was worth it.
Now she felt aggrieved when she thought about her daughter-in-law who couldn't give birth to a son living here, but she didn't dare to say anything, after all, her eldest daughter-in-law had been sent to a nunnery.
Now her youngest son has also separated from her. If she dares to say anything, her eldest son will probably be dissatisfied with her. However, she looked at her two daughters who were eating happily, wondering if she could get them to say something good for her.
As for Song Chunhua and Song Qiushi, they were already going crazy with jealousy. They hated Song Sanniang and her daughter for driving their mother away.
They actually lived in a big mansion and led such a good life. They felt that since their second uncle's family was so rich now, they should also give their father a share.
The second uncle should bring grandma and their family to live together. The two sisters looked at each other and made their own plans in their hearts.
No matter what others think, at least Song Ersao is in a good mood. She now has a new house and a shop. She has saved a lot of money. Her children are all sensible. She can also help her parents make some money.
The more I thought about her eating, the happier she was. I couldn't help but go get a jar of wine and drink with my sisters-in-law.
Seeing that the younger sister-in-law was happy, the two aunts did not want to spoil the fun, so they invited Cuihua and Niu San to drink together.
However, when Grandma Chen saw them making a fuss like girls, she thought of her eldest daughter. She wished that the child could also marry so nearby, so that she could only come home during the Chinese New Year.
The banquet was almost over, and some of the men were drunk and supported each other as they went home.
The women were busy packing the food. The easiest way to pack the food was to use leaves or bowls and plates to carry it back home and then bring the bowls and plates back.
So everyone hurriedly divided the food to be packed home. On the way, you can see many people rushing home with their bowls and dishes in their hands.
Everyone had a good meal at noon, and after taking their food home, they hurried back.
All the aunts helped to tidy up the tables, chairs and benches, some helped to wash the dishes, and some helped to clean up. The lively yard was soon tidied up as clean and tidy as before.
The door of the ancestral hall was open, making it convenient for everyone to move tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks in. The villagers went in and out carrying things, making the deserted ancestral hall a little lively.
The garbage that Song Zhengan and his family created when cooking at the entrance of the new house was cleaned up, and the stove was turned off. However, the stove had not been dismantled yet. Some villagers kindly wanted to help dismantle it, but Song Zhengan smiled and said, "We'll use it again in the evening, so there's no rush to dismantle it."
Someone asked out of curiosity, and it turned out that Song Laoer and his family and closest relatives were going to have another banquet in the evening.
Some people can't help but envy Niu Lao San and his friends. These people used to help Song Lao Er, and now that he has become successful, everyone is taking advantage of him, and even drank more at the wedding than everyone else.
Some people couldn't help but say a few unpleasant words, and some people couldn't stand it and retorted, "They invited us to work, paid us, and provided food and drinks, and now they are inviting us to a wedding banquet. Where can we find such a good thing? People should be content with what they have."
"That's right, today's banquet is so good, just shut up if you have something to eat. Do you want to be asked to do such a good job in the future?" The person who said these words finally shut up.
Song Laoer's family didn't know about these trivial matters. The family was busy. Song Laoer didn't get drunk, but it was Song Er's wife who got herself drunk.
She didn't know how much she could drink, and now her face was red and she felt dizzy. She was helped by her two sisters-in-law to lie down in the room.
After a while, she felt her stomach churning and wanted to vomit. Song Sanniang then realized that there was no trash can at home, so she had to go to the toilet and bring a bucket to the bedside for Song Ersao to vomit.
Cuihua and the others were busy making her sobering soup. Si Niang and the other two took the hot towels prepared by Cuihua and the others to wipe her face. After Song Ersao vomited and wiped her face, she felt a little better.
She fell asleep again in a daze, and the rest of the room found it funny to see her sleeping soundly.
Song Lao Er said cheerfully, "I didn't expect my wife couldn't drink that much."
The four daughters used to be a little curious about wine, but this time, seeing how uncomfortable their mother felt after drinking, they were no longer curious.
Sister Cuihua and the others prepared a hangover soup, and everyone who had drunk alcohol drank a bowl of it. They asked Sister Song Er to drink a bowl as well before letting her continue to sleep. After watching her finish the drink, everyone closed the door and left, allowing her to have a good sleep in the room.
