Chapter 89
"Then thank you very much, Second Master."
"Two tables are enough for my wedding."
Lu Jianye seemed not to understand Liu Hai Zhong's meaning.
This made Liu Guangqi even happier.
He even laughed gloatingly.
Lu Jianye was just a big idiot.
It was a pity his old man praised him, saying his personality had changed completely, and he was much smarter than before.
In reality, that's just how it was!
Liu Hai Zhong was also in a great mood, putting on his official airs, and said: "Lu Jianye, consider yourself sensible."
"You don't have to feel like you can't hold your head up."
"On a happy day, just eat well and drink well."
He looked as if he had become a high and mighty emperor!
Lu Jianye glanced at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who were following behind them.
He said with a smile: "The Second Master is indeed generous."
"The eldest son's wedding has such a big opening."
"When the second and third sons get married in the future, the spectacle can only be higher, not lower."
"The Second Master must be treating everyone equally, right?"
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, had complaints in their eyes.
Treat everyone equally?
This was simply a dream.
Their old man believed in "spare the rod and spoil the child."
But of the three brothers, Liu Guangqi almost never got beaten from childhood to adulthood, and he always ate the best food.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were like wild children picked up from the street.
Liu Hai Zhong would beat them once when he was happy, and three times when he wasn't.
Hearing Lu Jianye's words, Liu Hai Zhong's face changed immediately.
"You kid, just take care of yourself."
After saying that, he took the lead and went into the house.
Liu Guangqi also went in.
The Third Aunt looked at the snow on the ground and frowned: "Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, how did you two sweep the snow?"
"Hurry up and sweep it again."
"Your eldest brother is getting married tomorrow, and there will be guests coming to the house, don't let people laugh at us."
After saying that.
The Third Aunt also went in and closed the door.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were reluctant, picked up the brooms, and started sweeping the snow again.
Lu Jianye took out two pieces of bread and shared them with them.
"Only when you're full do you have the strength to work."
"It doesn't matter if you're not liked, just work hard yourself."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at the bread in their hands, and tears of gratitude were about to fall.
In the ten-plus years they had lived, no one had ever been this good to them.
In an instant, the two brothers wished they could kowtow to Lu Jianye to thank him.
Lu Jianye also saw it, waved his hand and said: "No need to thank me, hurry up and eat."
"Don't let your old man see."
The brothers ate the bread greedily with tears in their eyes.
Picked up the brooms and swept the snow.
But they kept Lu Jianye's kindness in their hearts, thinking they must repay his kindness of a meal in the future.
One night passed.
Lu Jianye got up early.
The house had already been cleaned until it was spotless, and a red carpet had been laid on the floor.
On every piece of glass in the house, big red "happiness" window paper-cuts were pasted.
In the room, ribbons were hung up.
Combined with the wedding supplies everywhere in the house, the festive atmosphere suddenly rose.
Lu Jianye went to work as usual in the morning.
He cooked the food at noon.
Only then did he leave the Rolling Mill and head straight for the state-run restaurant.
In this era, ordinary families held their wedding banquets at home.
Holding a banquet in this kind of state-run restaurant wasn't cheap.
Even the simplest meal would cost ten yuan.
But Lu Jianye only had himself, and Bai Lu Si didn't have any relatives.
Mainly, Lu Jianye didn't want to treat Bai Lu Si badly.
Thus.
They had discussed it in advance and would hold two tables at the state-run restaurant on the wedding day.
Those coming from the Bai side were mainly neighbors of the Bai family.
On Lu Jianye's side, it was just a few workmates he knew from the Rolling Mill.
The atmosphere was quite relaxed.
"Husband, isn't that the Second Master from your courtyard?"
"Their family is also holding a banquet here today."
Bai Lu Si was wearing a bridal outfit, which Lu Jianye had specially prepared for her.
Seeing the Second Master's family, she asked in surprise.
Lu Jianye smiled: "Yes."
"Just wait and see, there will be a wonderful show in a while."
Lu Jianye signaled the waiter to serve the dishes.
Although there were only two tables, the food was not sloppy at all.
Each table had eight dishes and two soups, and six of them were meat dishes.
"Squad Leader Lu, you're too generous."
"Braised pork knuckle with soy sauce, red-braised pork, red-braised fish, red-braised ribs, shredded pork with fish-flavored sauce, stewed chicken with mushrooms!"
"Mixed cold dishes, canned fruit, egg soup, white fungus soup!"
"This table of food must cost at least thirty yuan."
"This is much better than the Second Master's dishes."
"And this Moutai liquor!"
"It seems to be five yuan a bottle now!"
"Mother Bai, your daughter has married the right man!"
"Just this food is the highest level in our area!"
"Even if we held the banquet at home, we wouldn't have such a spectacle!"
The guests who came all praised Lu Jianye.
The Bai family felt especially honored, looking at Lu Jianye one by one as if looking at a treasure.
Lu Jianye:...
This was just a small matter.
Nothing to count.
And on the other side.
