Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 177 Cutting the flesh from Mrs. Jia’s body
While Song Chaoyang and the others were chatting here, the ceremony on the other side had already begun.

After setting off the firecrackers, they began to worship in the main room and serve tea.

There was a lively scene in the yard.

The current ceremony was relatively simple. After Song Chaoyang arranged for Lao Jin to sit down, he went to the kitchen.

There were several dishes simmering when he came over, so he had to go and see if they could be cooked.

At this time, the cold dishes in the kitchen have been served, and the cooked stir-fry dishes have been put on the plates. After the quilting ceremony is over, they are taken out of the kitchen.

The kitchen was crowded with people helping to serve the dishes.

Everyone listened to what was going on outside.

Song Chaoyang squeezed through the crowd and got to the stove. He opened the pot and took a look. There were bacon chops, pig's trotters, big fat meat, meatballs, crispy pork, tripe strips, and chicken tumbling in the pot.

These are the last stews to be served.

Fortunately, Song Chaoyang is very good at cooking these dishes, and every dish is full of praise.

Seeing this scene, Song Chaoyang said to Song Lan, Song Zhu and the others who were looking at the fire:

Someone called me before, but there was something there.

Song Lan said:

"You guys can go out to eat too. Just leave this to me."

This size is definitely more sumptuous than anything I have ever seen before, and it is even better than when the Song family’s new house was completed.

"It's okay. My mother is also serving food. We will eat with her later."

However, Song Lan and Song Zhu were different. They had to work in the fields in the afternoon, so Song Chaoyang finally arranged for them to sit outside.

Unexpectedly, the lunch dishes were more sophisticated.

After the stir-fried vegetables, steamed vegetables are served.

This family can eat so much meat for just a few cents. Everyone knows that they are taking advantage of it, so this is not a lot of good news.

But when the old couple of the Song family came here, they didn't even know anything.

Qin Wanshan planned to marry his daughter in a glamorous manner, and he spent a lot of money on it.

Salty roasted white meat, longan meat, sand-filled pork, steamed pork with rice flour, and steamed fish.

The last thing is what Song Chaoyang is stewing here.

Similarly, elder Qin Rou also prepared two handmade silver rings as gifts.

Braised pork, braised fish, braised eel, braised sausage.

Not only did the Song family pay for the main banquet, but the Qin family also contributed.

There are quite a few people helping out.

The quality of today's wedding banquet is definitely the first in ten miles and eight towns.

When people outside saw the dishes being served to the table one after another, everyone was very happy. They originally thought that the size of the dishes in the morning was amazing.

Everyone who was preparing immediately started to serve the food.

After steaming vegetables comes cooking.

He felt very proud.

He can cook the stew in the kitchen by himself.

The Song family's kitchen is very wide, and there are even two large round tables in it. The dishes on them are prepared for the handymen.

When the ceremony outside was over, news came in the kitchen.

Although they are shameless at home, they still care about face in front of outsiders.

If it weren't for the support of his brothers and father-in-law, he would definitely not be able to do this, and he knew this in his heart.

Sure enough, it was a powerful combination of the Qin and Song families. The meat in today's meal was as much as the meat they had eaten in the past few years combined.

Even Cao Wei and Qin Tie were helping with the work and did not go to the table.

When the toast arrived in the main room, they were all members of the Song family, the Xu family, and the Qin family. Song Chaodong, who was related to her, had to ask his daughter-in-law Qin Rou to change her name to follow him.

Grandpa and grandma, after Qin Rou called out, she took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Qin Rou's hand.

The old couple didn't prepare anything.

When it came to Song Xiaoren and Mrs. Jia's side, it was awkward.

Although everyone knew that the second wife had separated, she still called her grandparents.

There are more dishes at noon than in the morning.

It's still not overheated yet and needs to continue simmering.

People who didn't know Song Chaodong very well before were all mouthful and had nice words for him.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat, there are still plenty in the kitchen!" Song Chaodong brought his wife Qin Rou over to toast, and reminded everyone at the same time.

Or maybe he changed his name after Qin Rou.

It's fine if others don't give it to you, but if they don't give it to you, everyone's eyes will be watching.

Song Xiaoren and his wife were immediately embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

They had all heard the others whispering.

Song Xiaoren's face turned red from suppressing his emotions, and he only had a few cents and a cigarette stick left on him.

My wife also didn’t have any money with her.

The previous silver bracelet was also given to Song Chaofeng.

Now there are only two silver earrings on her ears.

But she didn't want to give it.

But it doesn’t seem to make sense that the two of them didn’t take anything.

At least I can't save my face.

"Forget it if you don't have it." Xu Tianshou said to Song Xiaoren with a smile.

"That's it, as long as it comes to your mind." Old lady Chen Qingshu also said.

It's fine if I don't say this, but it makes the two of them even more embarrassed when I say it. Isn't this a clear slap in their faces?

Mrs. Jia felt her face burning.

You don’t have to give it to yourself, but do you dare to go behind our backs and not tell us?
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and took off the two silver earrings from her ears:
"Here, how could you not give it?"

"When you call me grandma and grandpa, of course you want to express your gratitude."

After speaking, he directly handed the silver earrings to Qin Rou's hand and said to her:

"Girl, take it, this is what your grandfather and I wanted."

Qin Rou took it decisively, and then thanked Mrs. Jia.

It seemed like it had been prepared for a long time.

She knew the relationship between the two families. She heard Song Chaodong tell her how much money Mrs. Jia had made from the Song family.

These two silver earrings are worth some interest at most.

She didn't feel any psychological pressure at all when she put it away.

Anyway, there won't be much contact between the two families in the future. Being able to collect some compensation can be regarded as making up for some of the original losses.

On such a big occasion, the old man and the old lady of the Song family would either be embarrassed or have to spend some money.

Anyway, both face and money have to be lost.

Taking the silver earrings, the two of them continued to toast.

Mrs. Jia simply hates this place.

If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn't have come even to death.

I originally thought about having a good meal and taking advantage, but I didn't expect that I didn't take advantage and actually caused such a big loss.

But at this time, Song Shoubao's new wife Shi Lan suddenly felt unhappy.

I am also a new wife, why didn’t the old lady give me anything?
Her face fell instantly, and she came down and pinched Song Shoubao's thigh next to her with her hands.

"Hiss..." Song Shoubao took a breath of cold air.

He glared at Shi Lan and asked:

"Why are you pinching me?"

Shi Lan said to Song Shoubao unhappily: "Why do you think I pinched you? Why didn't your mother give me the same greeting gift?"

"Didn't I give you a pound of meat in exchange for it?" Song Shoubao rubbed the place where he had been pinched with his hands and said to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan rolled her eyes:
"Who cares?"

How can there be only one pound of meat on this big table now?

"There are so many people here, don't make trouble! I will give you all the money I won later." Song Shoubao said to Shi Lan.

He played cards all day today, and he won a little in the last hour.

But those were all taken from Song Shoujin.

Shi Lan reluctantly agreed after hearing this.

Seeing Qin Rou's new clothes just now, she added:
"You have to buy me new clothes when you return to the city!"

Song Shoubao's scalp was numb, but he could only agree.

Now I am following Zhu Xiao and cheating at the station, and I am making a lot of money.

He was a second-rate guy before, but now he's a professional liar.

It's just that I feel something is wrong with the news recently. Boss Zhu hasn't seen anyone for several days.

He was also wondering whether he should continue to follow.

But thinking that he still wanted a son, he suppressed the idea.

If he quits, Boss Zhu's gang and Shi Lan will do something wrong again.

He was also convinced. Is it so difficult for him to have a son?
……

Song Chaoyang, who was in the kitchen, put the stew in a big bowl and asked the waiter to take it out.

After these dishes were served, there were no other dishes.

The person who served the dishes took many of the dishes that had been finished back to the kitchen. Some people originally wanted to wash them, but Song Chaoyang asked them to just leave them in the basin and soak them.

After serving the stew, I quickly sat down in the kitchen to eat.

The kitchen prepared two tables of dishes, which were the same as those outside. Each dish was quite large, and the portions were even larger.

All the people who were helping were called to the table by Song Chaoyang. There was nothing special about it. He just said hello and moved their chopsticks, and everyone started eating.

By this time, everyone was already hungry, so they all started to eat with their bowls without being polite.

Song Chaoyang went to get a bowl of rice soup and drank a few sips first.

I didn't drink a sip of water at noon. The kitchen was smoky and my mouth was dry now.

After gulping down a mouthful of rice soup, I finally felt better.

Most of the other people were similar, but some were drinking soup and some were drinking tea.

Everyone is having a hard time today.

After just a few bites, the second brother and his wife came to the kitchen to toast.

At this moment, the second brother's face was red from drinking.

It's a bit awkward to walk and talk.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, Song Chaoyang saw his posture, quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and went over to help him sit down.

Seeing that he was already drunk, Song Chaoyang replaced the wine bowl in his hand with rice soup.

"Okay, okay, we are all our own people, as long as you mean it." Song Chaoyang said to his second brother.

Song Chaodong did not refuse his brother's kindness, and took a sip of the rice soup.

I feel a lot better with my stomach churning.

"Have you finished the toast outside?" Qin Tie also came up and handed his sister a bowl of tea, and then asked her.

Qin Rou obviously drank too much. After taking a sip of tea, she nodded and said:

"Well, I've finished the toast. I won't be able to walk in after two more sips."

There were a lot of guests here today, and some of them needed to be toasted separately, so both of us drank a lot.

Outside, the parents on both sides were still waiting for them to eat. They took a breath and replaced the wine with tea and rice soup. The couple toasted to the people sitting and helping.

Then he staggered out.

After seeing the two off, Qin Tie complained:

"Drinking at a wedding is really boring. I feel like half of my life has been drunk."

"It makes me afraid to get married."

Qin Tie's drinking capacity was not very good, and he was a little scared when he saw the two of them looking so obvious today.

"From now on, when you get married, replace your white wine with boiled water." Song Chaoyang made a move towards Qin Tie.

Qin Tie's eyes lit up and he said happily:
"Hey, what a great idea!"

Song Chaoyang greeted him to eat quickly. There was still a banquet in the evening.

Although most of the ingredients are ready, and some dishes are even cooked together at noon, there are still some dishes that need to be cooked separately.

When Qin Tie heard this, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and started to cook.

After lunch, the people who helped with the work consciously started to clear away the dishes on the dinner table.

It's rare for many people to have such good food at home these days, so there aren't many leftovers on the table.

Almost every plate was eaten clean.

Even though Song Chaoyang had cooked so many dishes, everyone ate them indiscriminately and stuffed most of the dishes into their stomachs.

There is not as much left as there was in the morning.

Most of this is because Song Chaoyang's food is particularly delicious.

So even if you feel like you can’t hold it all in, you can still take one or two more bites and try to fill your stomach.

Of course, Song Chaoyang did not take care of the follow-up cleaning issues in the kitchen, but went to see off Lao Jin and his wife who were going back to the city.

Also accompanying me were the little girl and the eldest sister.

The two of them happened to be going back.

He also hitched a ride on Lao Jin.

Before getting in the car, the Song family stuffed a lot of mountain goods for Lao Jin.

In addition, the little girl and the eldest sister also took some of the things back.

Lao Jin's seemingly spacious jeep was packed to the brim.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the Song family, Lao Jin was in a somewhat unhappy mood, but now he felt much better.

It's really no wonder that Song Chaoyang signed the contract. Who told the people from the publishing house not to sign it?

Moreover, that publishing house in Shanghai was too cruel, and the conditions were no longer what Oriental Publishing House could provide.

Song Chaoyang sniffed Lao Jin's mouth before driving. Lao Jin looked puzzled:
"What's wrong?"

"Oh, I want to hear if you've been drinking." Song Chaoyang replied to him.

Lao Jin breathed a sigh of relief at Song Chaoyang, which made Song Chaoyang retreat. Then he said cheerfully:

"I didn't drink. Didn't you let me drink?"

Song Chaoyang was relieved when he heard that Lao Jin had not drank, and then waved to him:

"Okay, drive carefully on the road."

"I know." Lao Jin nodded.

Then Song Chaoyang said goodbye to the other people in the car.

Watching the car go away, Song Chaoyang and the other farewell Song family members headed back home.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw his second aunt pulling Qin Tie and introducing her daughter to him.

Giving yourself a little daughter who is not yet married is rare in heaven and rare on earth.

This was probably the first time Qin Tie encountered this kind of functional situation. It didn't matter whether he left or not.

When he saw Song Chaoyang coming, he shouted as if he was seeing a savior:

"Brother Chaoyang, didn't you say you still have something to do? Let's get busy."

But the second aunt still dragged him and didn't let go. Instead, she said to Song Chaoyang:
"Chaoyang, come here and tell me, is your cousin a good match for this Xiao Qin?"
