Chapter 296 A humble wedding banquet
At this kind of wedding banquet, most of the people who came to eat only brought two or three cents, and some of the poorer ones even brought a handful of dried vegetables.
They provide meat and vegetables, as well as steamed bread made from mixed grains. How much food do they need? It's a huge loss!
Thinking of this, Sun Cui's face showed some reluctance.
Lu Laosan was a little confused and thought that Sun Cui was afraid that she couldn't do it alone, so he explained again.
"Don't worry, I've asked some relatives to come and help. Tomorrow there will be two women coming over to work with you."
After hearing this, Sun Cui adjusted her expression and advised:
"Boss, you may not know that a bite of food can save your life these days.
If you sell the grain to those refugees, they will give you any amount of money you want.
Therefore, there is really no need to hold a grand wedding banquet.
In our village before, if each person at the table had a steamed bun, it was considered very good.
Some families make steamed bread so small that you can hold three in one hand."
Sun Cui talked about things she was familiar with, chattering non-stop with a shrewd and calculating look.
"Boss, if we sell our grain now, we can get a lot of it.
I once saw someone buying three cakes for one or two taels of silver on the road.
How many pancakes can we make with all this grain?
Just think about how much money this is, it cannot be wasted.
When we find an opportunity, we will sell some grain at a high price and exchange it for silver to save.
We can save some of the remaining food and eat it until spring.
When the time comes, I will dig up some wild vegetables and add some grains to make a meal.
In this way, when we settle down in the future, we can build a few big tiled houses and buy a few acres of land.
When the time comes, I will give birth to a few more boys for you, and this family will prosper.
Just think about the future, when you have a lot of kids around you calling you daddy, how wonderful those days will be!"
Looking at the woman who was speaking with great enthusiasm, Lu Laosan felt a sense of hope in his heart.
Before, his parents, wife and children were all gone, and his energy and spirit seemed to have gone with them.
Now hearing what Cui'er said, if I really lived like that, it seems like life would not be bad.
Thinking of how well-behaved and cute Erzhuang and Sanya are, I wish I could have a few more children like them.
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Lu Laosan's face.
When Sun Cui saw this, she felt that he was convinced by her and spoke even more excitedly.
Her ex-husband's parents-in-law are all gone, and her ex-husband is the eldest in the family.
It can be said that she is in charge of all the affairs in the inner house of her family and her brother-in-law's family.
He can be said to be able to handle various affairs such as interpersonal relationships in the village with ease.
She promises not to waste a penny of the family's money. Anyone who sees her will say that she is a good housekeeper!
Looking at Sun Cui like this, Lu Laosan couldn't help but think of Li Niang.
Sun Cui and Li Niang are completely different types of people.
During the years he and Li Niang were married, his mother took care of all the household affairs.
Although Li Niang also has to cook, she basically doesn't make decisions about household matters.
At that time, all they had to do was to appease his mother and everything would be fine.
His mother will take care of them.
Now that his mother is gone, there is no one to take care of the household.
From now on, we really need a capable woman to manage the household.
Thinking of this, Lu Lao San said when Sun Cui stopped:
"Cui'er, from now on, you will take care of all the family matters.
If you need money, just tell me."
Sun Cui was even happier when she heard this.
He completely accepted her!
Besides, this man doesn't have any brothers.
I heard that I have a niece who doesn’t go out often.
Without the burden, I can just live a good life and save some money.
Sooner or later, she will be able to live a life of ease and comfort like the rich people in the village!
Thinking of this, Sun Cui smiled and said:
"Boss, sit down and take a rest. I'll make you something delicious.
If you ask me, don’t let others get the meat for free.
I'll make you some meat at noon so you can replenish your body first!"
Naturally, Lu Laosan agreed.
At lunch, Sun Cui brought a plate of greasy stir-fried cabbage and meat to the table.
Lu Laosan was very satisfied after taking the first bite.
Sun Cui’s cooking skills are really good. This dish is completely different from the ones he usually cooks.
For a moment, Lu Laosan's chopsticks were flying and he couldn't stop eating.
Sun Cui was even happier when she saw it.
As long as he is satisfied, I don’t even have a child to rely on now.
Only by coaxing the man can you stay here.
She used all her culinary skills today and was quite generous with the meat.
Now, seeing that he is satisfied with the food, I can rest assured.
Thinking of this, she picked up the vegetable porridge in her hand and took a big mouthful.
She also stirred the porridge with the spoon she used to stir-fry meat and vegetables, and got some oil on it.
Add some grain and a little salt and it's pretty good.
Although it is not as good as stir-fried cabbage with meat, it is still a rare delicacy for her.
Lu Laosan ate for a long time, and when he stopped, he had finished most of the food on the plate.
Seeing that Sun Cui didn't eat, he asked in confusion:
"Cui'er, why don't you eat your food? Pick up your chopsticks!"
Sun Cui glanced at the meat dishes and swallowed.
"Boss, just eat it. Why should I, a woman, eat meat? Vegetable porridge is fine for me!"
Lu Laosan frowned and said:
"You eat too. My family isn't the kind that treats their daughters-in-law harshly. Don't do this in the future."
Sun Cui was even more overjoyed when she heard this.
When she was at her parents' home, she was not allowed to eat good meals.
If you marry into your ex-husband's family, you have to leave all the good things you have to your brother-in-law or ex-husband.
She had never eaten these before.
Seeing that she was slow to move her chopsticks, Lu Laosan directly picked up a piece of cabbage and meat and put it into Sun Cui's bowl.
She held the bowl high to begin with, and after the food was put into the bowl, the aroma kept coming into her nose.
Then she began to swallow her saliva.
Unable to hold back any longer, she quickly picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
She secretly looked up and saw that Lu Laosan didn't blame her, so she quickly stuffed the remaining cabbage in the bowl into her mouth.
After this meal, both of them felt more favorable towards each other.
......
At noon the next day, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang brought gifts to the banquet.
Lu Laosan was waiting at the door to receive her. When he saw her coming, he said:
"Daya is here, come in and sit down!"
Lu Qingqing nodded, handed the things to Lu Laosan, and pulled Qin Lang into the house.
By the time all the dishes were served, many people looked unhappy.
Tianfu Niang couldn't help but complain directly:
"What the hell is this? There's not even a speck of oil in the dishes. Is this a proper banquet?"
The old village chief's wife next to them was cooking with Sun Cui. When she went to get the vegetables, she clearly saw the meat there, but Sun Cui didn't take it.
Although I saw it, I was only invited to help, so it was difficult for me to say anything.
