Chapter 245 Ting Chuang Gen’er (4,000 Words)

The banquet started around eleven o'clock, and by the time twelve o'clock came around, most of the people were already satiated.

Logically speaking, guests from your mother's family are not allowed to stay until the afternoon. They usually have to get up and leave at half past twelve at most.

In some places, if the guests of the mother's family are reluctant to leave, the groom's house will set off firecrackers after 12:30, which means to drive away the guests.

The Zhou family knew the rules, so naturally they would not take offense to this. Just after twelve o'clock, Zhou Mingyuan, Zhou Minghua and others stood up to leave.

As soon as the maternal family left, other guests also left one after another, and the helpers quickly cleared the tables.

There wasn't really much to clean up, almost every plate was empty.

In this day and age, most people have empty stomachs. It’s hard to find such a sumptuous feast, which is full of hard vegetables. Who wouldn’t open their stomachs and eat it with all their heart?

Even the little vegetable soup was almost eaten with the steamed buns dipped in it.

Therefore, the table can definitely be considered clean and it is very easy to clean up. You just need to put all the dishes in the basin, carry them down and scrub them clean.

The furniture used for banquets is usually stained with a lot of oil and water, so it is not easy to clean.

Some people will rub the dishes with plant ash first, then scald them with boiling water and rinse them thoroughly.

Zhang Shuzhen prepared a bag of corn noodles for the helper in advance and agreed with them to rub the plate with corn noodles first.

This corn noodle is not the kind that ordinary people eat, but is specially fed to dogs. It basically contains the corn skin, corn navel and so on.

Use this corn flour to rub the bowl and plate, and keep it to make dog food for your dog. It kills two birds with one stone.

After all the dishes have been rubbed with corn flour, scald them with boiling water and add some flour soda to clean them before they can be used again.

The helpers were busy clearing the tables and washing dishes, while Sheng Liancheng and others were busy seeing off guests.

After his parents' guests left, Wang Jiachuan, Zhao Yongsheng, Zheng Xianyong and others also said goodbye and left. Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping followed him outside the gate.

"Brother Zhao, I'm really busy today and I don't have time to chat with you for a while. I'm sorry for the poor reception.

Another day when we are free, we brothers will get together alone. "Sheng Xiping and Zhao Guangning chatted while walking, and they had to say a few polite words.

"Look at you, do we brothers still care about this? You are the busiest person in getting married. Any careless things are just trivial matters.

Brother, you have married a good wife, so you must treat her well.

When you go to Songjiang River in the future, you must go home. "Zhao Guangning patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhao Yongsheng and his son came to Qianchuan because of work matters, so they exchanged a few words with the Sheng family and then left to go to the field department.

In the Sheng family, after finishing the first round of work, the second round started serving food again.

This one is simple, they are all helpers and family members, and there are four tables in total.

This time, Master Li, the bride and groom all sat down to drink and eat, and everyone was chatting and laughing very lively.

By the time Eryou finished the banquet, it was already getting late, so the helpers quickly cleared the table.

Wang Jianshe and others gathered their belongings and sent them back after borrowing them from somewhere.

When delivering household items, they should not be left empty. Things such as pots and pans must be filled with leftovers or melon seeds and candies.

If you break a bowl, plate, teapot, wine glass, etc., you have to register it and go back to the owner's house to negotiate, either to compensate for the damage or to buy a new one.

I kept busy until five o'clock, and finally everything was tidied up.

Zhang Shuzhen specially packed some melon seed candies, or unused meat cuts, meatballs, etc. for the helpers.

"Everyone has been tired these past few days, and there isn't much good stuff at home. These are the leftover dishes from over-preparation. Let's take them back to give our children a taste."

If you can come to help, you have a good relationship, so naturally you can't let them go back empty-handed.

"Master Li, these are stupid. You have been tired for the past two days."

In addition to giving Chef Li a red envelope, Zhang Shuzhen also packed a lot of food, and also got a pork leg.

"Oh, Sister-in-law Shanda, you look too polite.

We are from the same forestry farm, and I get along so well with the boss Sheng. If my eldest nephew is getting married, I should also come and help. "

When Master Li saw these things, he was so happy that he couldn't help but say, "If anything happens at home in the future, just call me, brother Sheng and sister-in-law, and I will take care of it."

Chef Li said a few polite words and went home happily with his things.

The outsiders have almost left, and only Liu Changde's family, Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and other young buddies are left in the Sheng family.

At noon, those who clamored to have a wedding ceremony only made a token fuss in the new house for a while. After playing a few games and joking for a while, they all left.

The old people said that it is not good to leave a new house empty, it must be popular, so Wang Jianshe and the others stayed in the new house, chatting, playing poker and so on.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Shuzhen prepared two more tables of food and invited the Zhou family over for a meal.

There is a small train going back to Songjianghe tomorrow, and the Zhou family happens to be taking the train back, so this dinner in the evening is both a meeting with the in-laws and a practice banquet.

We ate late in the afternoon, so no one was actually very hungry.

It's just that I have been so busy these days that I don't have time to sit down and chat for a while. The two children have finally finished their wedding, and everyone has such an opportunity to get together and chat.

It doesn't matter what you eat or drink, the most important thing is to keep in touch with each other so that you don't get to know your relatives when you meet them in the future.

Everyone continued chatting until after nine o'clock, when the power went out in the forest farm, and then everyone said goodbye and left.

On the Sheng family's side, they lit candles and tidied up the house, washed themselves, and then went back to the house to rest.

On the other side of the new house, it was finally free now. Sheng Xiping lit a red candle, dropped some wax oil on the edge of the kang, and then sat on the candle.

What's the old saying? Looking at beautiful women under the lamp, they are pretty even if they are not handsome.

Under the dim candlelight, the new daughter-in-law is dressed in red, her eyebrows are as tender as water, adding a bit of tenderness, which makes her more attractive.

Sheng Xiping sat down next to Zhou Qinglan, reached out to hold Zhou Qinglan's hand, and held him in his arms.

"Qinglan, you finally married me and became my wife." Sheng Xiping sighed.

Zhou Qinglan's body softened, she leaned into Sheng Xiping's arms and hummed softly.

In the wedding night, the girl whom I longed for finally became my wife. The soft jade in my arms was so warm and fragrant that no one could control her.

Sheng Xiping thought about it and lowered his head to kiss Zhou Qinglan's red lips.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight sound. Sheng Xiping looked stern, let go of Zhou Qinglan, and went to open the door.

The doors to the east and west rooms all open inwards. Just now Sheng Xiping locked the doors inside, and now they open them like this.

Just two ouch sounds were heard, and Sheng Xikang, Sheng Xitai, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei rolled in directly from outside.

"Ahem, brother, um, someone told us to listen to the window outside the new house at night and listen to what brother and sister-in-law are saying inside."

Hearing that Chuang Gen'er was caught and exposed, Sheng Xitai coughed a few times in embarrassment and explained.

Listening to the window root is also one of the ways to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

Usually, it is the sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law from the husband's family who hide under the window, outside the door, or even in the cupboard of the new house, listening to what the newlyweds say at night.

There really are those careless young couples who only focused on making love during the wedding night and didn't even notice anyone outside.

The couple's private conversations were all listened to.

There are also some people who are thoughtful and carefully check inside and outside the house before going to bed to avoid anyone causing trouble.

Sheng Xiping knew some customs, but he didn't think about it.

When I got married in my previous life, my younger brothers and sisters were all older and my nieces and nephews were still young. It was not popular to listen to the window roots at that time.

When Sheng Xiping thought about it, his younger brothers and sisters were quite afraid of him. Since Zhou Qinglan became a teacher, these younger brothers and sisters were even more afraid of his sister-in-law.

Judging from the performance of those few people on weekdays, they should not have the guts to mess around.

Unexpectedly, a moment of carelessness almost succeeded in letting these naughty ghosts listen to the window root.

At this moment, Sheng Xiping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You few bastards, you can do anything? Where is the second child?"

There were only four of them, and the second child was not seen. Sheng Xiping was unsure, where did this brat go?

"Brother, it's not my fault for this. I warned them, but they didn't listen."

As soon as Sheng Xi'an heard his elder brother call him by name, he immediately came out of the east room and spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

Although Sheng Xi'an usually looks dull and nerdy, he is actually shrewd in this matter.

"I told you a long time ago that our eldest brother has a good ear. If you go to listen at the window, you will definitely be discovered. What do you think?"

Sheng Xi'an glanced at the four younger brothers and sisters, looking gloating.

"We obviously didn't make a sound, how could eldest brother hear us?" Sheng Yunfang pursed her lips unwillingly and muttered.

"Okay, why don't you come back and go to bed quickly? You have to go to class tomorrow."

At the other end of the east room, Zhang Shuzhen asked the children to go back to the house to rest.

She didn't pay much attention to the sneaky people who came out just now. She thought they were too full after eating too much today and came out for a walk. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be naughty and listened to the window.

Sheng Xikang and the others were embarrassed. After hearing what their mother said, they hurried back to the east room to rest. Here, Sheng Xiping also closed the door again and returned to the kang.

The curtains had been closed long ago, and now they closed the curtains in front of the Kang, blew out the candles on the edge of the Kang, hugged their wives, and went to spend their wedding night with candles.

That night, the north wind whistled and blew the grass, the peach blossoms were delicate and soft, their shadows were hazy, and the remaining flowers fell red to the ground after the rain.

On the morning of the 10th, as soon as the rooster crowed for the second time, Zhang Shuzhen got up.

She didn't dare to make any big noise, so she quietly carried the firewood into the house, lit the fire and cooked the porridge, then heated the steamed buns and the leftover vegetables from yesterday into the pot.

It was past six-thirty, and Zhang Shuzhen gently knocked on the door of the west room.

"Xiping, get up when it's time. Aren't you going to take the bus back to Songjianghe later?

Hurry up and call your father-in-law and the others over. After dinner, you can tidy up. Don’t delay your train ride. "

She doesn't want to call her son and daughter-in-law. They all came from when they were young. Who doesn't understand that?

If there was nothing important, the young couple would sleep until dawn and no one would care. Wouldn't they still have to go back home?

On the kang in the west room, Sheng Xiping was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms.

The two of them had a lot of trouble last night and didn't go to bed until midnight. They didn't even hear the chicken crow outside.

Zhang Shuzhen knocked on the door twice before Sheng Xiping woke up. He turned around and grabbed his watch and looked at it. Oops, it's almost seven o'clock.

"Daughter-in-law, get up. It's getting late. We have to eat and pack our things. We have to go back to Songjiang River later."

Zhou Qinglan was sleeping so deeply that she didn't hear what Sheng Xiping said. She just snorted, buried her face in Sheng Xiping's chest, and continued to sleep.

Sheng Xiping smiled helplessly, lowered his head and kissed his wife's fair and tender cheek.

"Be good, get up, or we won't be able to catch the train home later."

When I woke up early in the morning, I hadn't had time to shave yet, and the new stubble was a bit irritating.

In a daze, Zhou Qinglan felt that her face was itchy and prickly, so without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped her.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiping reacted quickly and grabbed his wife's hand, otherwise the slap would have been quite strong.

"Oh my God, you are trying to murder your husband. You were so affectionate last night, and now you turn your back on me in the blink of an eye?" Sheng Xiping said, dumbfounded.

At this time, Zhou Qinglan also woke up a lot, so he opened his eyes and saw the naked Sheng Xiping next to him.

Zhou Qinglan then remembered that they had gotten married yesterday, "I'm sorry, I thought there were flies or mosquitoes."

It was a completely subconscious reaction just now, it was really not intentional.

"Flies and mosquitoes? If I were a mosquito, I would bite you all over your body."

Sheng Xiping lowered his head, kissed Zhou Qinglan hard on the lips, then laughed and stood up to get dressed.

"Get up and hurry up. I think our mother has already prepared the meal."

No matter how nice the town is, you can't forget about serious things. Sheng Xiping put away his desire to be lazy, quickly put on his clothes, opened the curtain, went to the ground, put on his shoes and opened the door.

In the house, Zhou Qinglan couldn't afford to be left alone anymore, so she quickly got up and got dressed.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I slept too deeply and didn't get up to cook this morning."

Zhou Qinglan packed up the bedding, opened the curtains, came out of the west room, and said to Zhang Shuzhen with a look on her face.

"Oh, what else is there? It's normal for young people to feel too much."

Zhang Shuzhen didn't take it to heart at all, she just waved her hand and asked Zhou Qinglan to wash up and tidy up.

Who didn’t come from a young age?

When Zhang Shuzhen married Sheng Liancheng, Sheng Liancheng's mother did not make it difficult for Zhang Shuzhen.

When we arrived at Zhang Shuzhen's place, she got along very well with Zhou Qinglan, so naturally she would not embarrass her daughter-in-law.

By the time Zhou Qinglan finished washing and cleaning up, Sheng Xiping had already invited Zhou Mingyuan and others over.

In front of so many people, Wang Chunxiu couldn't say anything personal to her daughter. She only looked at her a few times and felt relieved when she saw that everything was normal.

Breakfast is simple, two rice porridge, steamed buns, and yesterday's leftovers, which is quite rich.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife welcomed the Zhou family to have breakfast, and then Zhang Shuzhen brought a lot of food to Zhou Mingyuan and his wife, and then brought some to relatives at home.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife refused again and again, but in the end they had no choice but to take it.

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan had packed up and followed the Zhou family out with the door-return gifts they had prepared in advance.

First, we went back to the old house to pack our luggage, and then the group went straight to the small train station.

Zhou Qinglan was unable to go home for a short stay before the wedding, so she had to come back after the wedding.

At school, she had taught her classes in advance, assigned her homework, and asked Li Xue to help her keep an eye on her for a few days.

I went to Songjianghe on the 10th and came back on the 13th. I only missed the wedding for a few days. Even if I missed my homework, it would be easy to make up for it later.

After taking medicine for a week, I feel better. I will resume the 6,000-word update for the time being. The second chapter is two chapters combined.
