Chapter 71
"Weiguo, you truly have ability."
The two were in the midst of deep affection when the Third Aunt ran over and shouted anxiously.
The porter had already moved the sewing machine to the backyard under the guidance of the neighbors.
The Second Aunt looked at the brand-new sewing machine, her eyes turning red with envy.
The neighbors also stared at the sewing machine enviously, as if looking at a rare treasure.
"Thank you, Master!"
Cao Weiguo settled the bill with the porter and grabbed a large handful of wedding candies for each of them.
The Third Aunt asked, "Weiguo, how much is this sewing machine?"
Cao Weiguo smiled and said, "One hundred and seventy-six yuan."
The neighbors were sour with envy; this was truly a grand gesture.
Bicycle!
Sewing machine!
For an ordinary family, it would be amazing to have one of the "three turns and one sound."
Cao Weiguo bought two big items at a young age.
It's truly people comparing with people, making people die of anger!
After sending away the neighbors who were watching the fun, Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan cooked together.
After eating, Cao Weiguo rode his bike to send Song Yulan home.
Upon arriving at the village, he distributed a wave of wedding candies, winning the blessings of the villagers.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Cao Weiguo didn't stay long.
After Cao Weiguo left, Song Yulan took out the marriage certificate and new clothes, and also talked about the sewing machine.
Hearing that Cao Weiguo bought a sewing machine right after getting the certificate.
This kind of financial power truly shocked the Song family and also made the sister-in-law, Zhou Guixiang, full of envy.
Among the hundreds of households in the whole village, only the village head's family had a sewing machine.
Song Yulan had a brand-new sewing machine to use as soon as she married over.
This was truly falling into a nest of blessings.
Sihe Academy
Saturday
Cao Weiguo didn't go to work and was preparing the banquet for tomorrow at home.
The Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Lou Xiaoe, and several neighbor aunties and uncles helped set up the tables and chairs.
Cao Weiguo was not stingy either; he cooked personally at noon and set up a large table of dishes.
Braised pork, steamed carp, minced meat tofu, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed pork with vermicelli...
A table of hard dishes made the uncles and aunties stunned with surprise, swallowing their saliva non-stop.
Even the deaf old lady, who rarely went out, was tempted and walked out, being helped to the table by the Eldest Aunt to eat.
Cao Weiguo hadn't said more than five sentences to the deaf old lady, but he still entertained the old lady enthusiastically.
Hearing the laughter from the Cao family, the neighbors who didn't come to help regretted it endlessly, and Jia Zhangshi cursed at home.
After having their fill, the uncles and aunties worked even harder.
In a day's work, they made the Cao family look brand new, and the tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks for the banquet were also neatly arranged.
In the evening, young people like Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard.
These young people rushed into the Cao family to work, and Cao Weiguo generously took out cigarettes and candies to entertain them.
Shazhu, under the pulling of Qin Huairu and the Eldest Uncle, took the initiative to say he would be the chef for the wedding banquet.
Although Cao Weiguo had already hired a chef who cooked at a state-run restaurant, since Shazhu was willing to help, he naturally wouldn't push him away.
Tomorrow is a happy day; he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.
