Chapter 138: Making a Wedding Banquet

Sihe Academy

Jia Family

Without Shazhu's leftovers, the family's food quality dropped off a cliff.

In the past, there were still some stir-fried or stewed dishes on the table; although they were leftovers, they tasted fragrant.

Now, there were only cornmeal buns and thin, watery porridge.

Jia Zhangshi said with a gloomy face: "There's not a single vegetable, how can these buns be swallowed."

Qin Huairu said with a dejected face: "Mom, just make do with it."

"At least the buns you're eating are cornmeal."

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, and I are eating mixed flour."

Jia Zhangshi said meanly: "It's just that you're useless!"

"If you were capable, the whole family would be eating meat and buns, and we wouldn't have to suffer like this."

Qin Huairu felt a surge of sourness and exhaustion in her heart, secretly hating the unfairness and ruthlessness of fate.

She was born with a beautiful face, worked hard and diligently, and wholeheartedly supported the elderly and raised the children.

But why was her life getting more and more bitter, with more and more setbacks.

Especially thinking of her son being locked in juvenile detention and suffering, her heart ached as if pricked by needles.

Qin Huairu cried: "I am useless, but what can a woman like me do?"

Jia Zhangshi said coldly: "Don't pretend to be pitiful and shed tears in front of me."

"If you want to pretend, go pretend to Shazhu, go pretend to Yi Zhonghai, and you might be able to get some cornmeal back."

Hurtful words are cold in the sixth month!

Jia Zhangshi's words made Qin Huairu's heart fall into an ice cellar.

She pretended to be pitiful everywhere, playing both sides, wasn't it all for this family!

But how did Jia Zhangshi see her?

Not a bit of gratitude, but instead full of blame for her.

Jia Zhangshi slammed the bun on the table with a cold face:

"Hurry up and stir-fry a vegetable. Eating these dry buns can choke a person to death."

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "Where would there be vegetables at home."

Jia Zhangshi said: "Then go borrow some. There are so many people in the courtyard, surely they can't come up with a few vegetables."

Cao Family

As soon as Cao Weiguo entered the room, Song Yulan ran over excitedly.

"Husband, hurry up and try the pants I made for you."

Looking at his wife who was like someone presenting a treasure, Cao Weiguo took the pants happily.

"Really good!"

Holding the pants and comparing them to his legs, Cao Weiguo praised:

"The length looks just right, your hands are truly skillful."

Song Yulan said happily: "Put them on and try them."

Cao Weiguo glanced outside: "Close the door."

"Mm!"

Song Yulan closed the door with a smile, and Cao Weiguo nimbly changed into the new pants.

"Fits! Comfortable! Much better than what the tailor makes!"

Cao Weiguo kicked his legs exaggeratedly, spitting out compliments one after another.

This made Song Yulan extremely happy.

Listening to her own man's praise was sweeter than drinking honey.

Cao Weiguo touched the pants with pleasure, then took an envelope out of the pants he had changed out of.

"Wife, this is for you."

Song Yulan asked curiously: "What is this?"

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "Meat tickets and egg tickets rewarded by the factory."

Song Yulan pulled out the tickets, her eyes full of surprise: "So many!"

Cao Weiguo: "Tomorrow I'm going out to do a wedding banquet, you go cut some meat and make something good for yourself."

Song Yulan locked the envelope into the box like a treasure: "There are still quite a few vegetables at home, I'll buy more when we finish them."

Cao Weiguo poked Song Yulan's forehead: "You silly wife!"

"I earn money just so you can live a good life."

"You're good, hiding all the money and tickets, are you saving them to have babies?"

Song Yulan hugged Cao Weiguo happily: "I'm already very satisfied with my current life."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Weiguo, Yulan, are you home?"

Just as the two were being affectionate, Qin Huairu knocked on the door and called out at an inappropriate time.

Cao Weiguo replied with annoyance: "Is something the matter?"

Qin Huairu said in a mournful voice: "Weiguo, we've run out of food at home, can you give me some leftover vegetable leaves."

Cao Weiguo said with annoyance: "No! Don't be annoying at my door!"

Qin Huairu stood outside the door, clenching her fists in anger, wishing she could smash the door open.

Closing the door before it's even dark, the young couple has no shame!

Xicheng District

Textile Factory Family Quarters

Liu Limin's uncle's home was full of joy.

The two newlyweds walked into the kitchen holding wine glasses.

"Director Cao, thank you so much today!"

"Director Cao, my wife and I would like to toast you!"

Cao Weiguo took the wine and smiled: "I wish you two hearts joined as one, a hundred years of harmony, and an early birth of a precious child."

The two newlyweds: "Thank you, Director Cao!"

"Ding! Weekly check-in successful!"

"Obtained Western-style cooking skills!"

The sudden sound of nature made a flash of surprise appear in Cao Weiguo's eyes.

French dishes, English dishes, American dishes, German dishes, and other traditional and modern Western processing, cutting, and cooking methods surged into his mind like a spring.

A wedding banquet ended successfully, and everyone ate to their satisfaction.

They couldn't stop praising the table full of dishes, which made the family unable to close their mouths from joy.

After personally seeing Cao Weiguo out the door, Liu Limin's uncle had a face full of joy.

"Limin, thank you for inviting Director Cao to take charge of the ladle."

Liu Limin's uncle said happily: "This meal is something I will never forget for the rest of my life, and it also gave the family plenty of face."

Liu Limin said happily: "Uncle, don't be polite with me, this is my master taking care of me."

Logistics Section Director Liu said solemnly: "Limin, your master treats you sincerely, you must also know how to be grateful." ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
