Age: My Small World

Chapter 535 Wedding Banquet
I just had a simple meal at noon, and I was mainly busy preparing the afternoon meal, so it wasn’t too urgent.

In the afternoon, everyone sat together by the fireplace in the main room.

The fire is burning underneath, but it is covered by a lid, and a layer of anti-scalding protection is added on top, and finally a cover is put on it, which makes it look like a stove. You can roast fire without worrying about being burned, and you can play cards on the stove.

This idea was from Yang Jun, but I didn't expect the two brothers to use it first.
A total of four sets were built, one each in Huyang Village, the unit building, and Mr. Hu's yard, and the remaining set is here.

"It's still early, let's play cards first." Mi Shan and Mi Liang grabbed a handful of melon seeds, peanuts and candies on the table so they could eat them while chatting.

On weekdays, there are not many extra entertainment activities, so we can only play cards.

The cards are mahjong, the kind that are very simple to play.

No one put in money, so they used melon seeds as chips.

The six adults took turns playing, but Mr. Hu didn't need to take turns.

Guaiguai was eating melon seeds and peanuts, looking very happy.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yu quickly stood up and said, "I have to go cook, you guys go play."

Zhou Xin and Gu Nanke also stood up.

"You men can have fun, and we women can go cook."

After saying this, they all left happily.

Yang Jun and Hu Baye were also stopped when they tried to help.

Mi Shan said, "Master Ba, Brother Xiaoshan, everything is ready. It just takes a little time to cook. No need for any help."

They had already chopped and cut the meat into pieces early in the morning, so there was really no need to do anything extra. When you got there, you just had to wait for the food to start boiling in the pot.

So the four of them continued to shuffle the cards.

This time, Yang Jun asked seriously, "Dashan, is it easy to collect jade in the city? If not, you can ask people from the surrounding areas entering the city."

The capital city had been plundered, but the surrounding villages and towns were not necessarily plundered.

"It's okay in the city, but the quality isn't as good as it was at the beginning. We'll go around the towns and villages around the capital later and ask more questions then."

"Okay, if you have any problems, just tell Master. I'll help you solve any difficulties."

Mr. Hu Ba smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this on such a happy occasion."

Yang Jun just asked briefly, fearing that the two brothers might be in trouble and not tell him.

Since Mr. Hu has spoken, it means they don’t have too much trouble.

On the other side, the three women in the kitchen were also whispering.

"Sister-in-law, how did you and Brother Xiaoshan know each other?" Zhou Xin asked innocently. Zhou Yu wanted to stop her but failed.

Fortunately, Gu Nanke didn't mind discussing this.

Then she briefly talked about the dog selling business, of course, not saying anything that shouldn't be said.

"Wow, sister-in-law, you and Brother Xiaoshan are really destined to be together."

"It's the same with you. I heard from Xiaoshan that you and Dashan Xiaoliang and the others met by chance."

"I was almost starving to death at that time. Fortunately, I met Dashan and his family." Zhou Yu said with a hint of tenderness on her face. She was obviously very satisfied with her husband.

"Yeah, it was hard to even get a bite to eat back then."

The three of them couldn't help but recall the days of the previous two years.

After a while, a fragrance came from the kitchen.

"It smells so good." Guaiguai sniffed and said.

Mi Liang liked this little girl very much. He pinched her little face and said, "Then eat more later."

"Yeah." He responded obediently but somewhat reservedly.

The stew was ready, and Yang Jun finally took action when it came time to stir-fry the food.

He is the most precise in controlling the temperature, while most people can only get a rough idea.

At dinner time, a huge table of dishes filled the eight-immortal table to the brim. There was chicken, duck, fish and meat. Because Yang Jun was the chef, the dishes tended to be a combination of Sichuan and Shandong cuisine.

Fortunately, everyone has no dietary restrictions on this, so you can eat it with confidence.

Mr. Hu Ba spoke first, holding the wine bowl: "This old man has nothing to say, I wish you four a happy marriage."

"Thank you, Mr. Ba." The two couples then drank a glass together.

Then Yang Jun said, "Then I won't waste any more words. I wish you a long and happy life together."

Gu Nan Ke took out the things she had embroidered, and her craftsmanship was praised by the four people.

After the necessary procedures were completed, everyone started to invite each other to eat.

The sun was setting outside, but it couldn't resist the warm atmosphere in the house.

The wedding banquet lasted until around seven or eight o'clock before it gradually ended.

"Master Ba, Brother Xiaoshan, why don't you just rest here for one night? There are enough rooms."

The house has a total of six rooms, but there are actually only three bedrooms.

The other three rooms are the living room, kitchen and storage room.

Mi Shan planned to rebuild two kitchens in the yard to provide cooking for both sides.

In this way, the kitchen and storage room can be cleaned up and used for living.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't bother you."

A few people insisted on leaving, and the two brothers had no choice but to see them out.

"Go back and try your best to give me a grandson as soon as possible." Mr. Hu said happily and walked forward.

"Eighth Master, I will definitely give you a boy to make you happy." Mi Liang said this honestly, causing Zhou Xin to blush and slap him on the back.

The whole place burst into laughter.

After the four people left, the Mi brothers came in with their wives.

Yang Jun still sent Mr. Hu back home first.

"It's late at night, let's rest here."

Mr. Hu's place is certainly not as good as the Mi brothers', but Yang Jun shook his head: "It's still early, it won't be a big deal to go back."

Mr. Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you consider walking at night?"

"Eighth Master, it's really okay." Gu Nan Ke spoke up for Yang Jun.

In this case, Mr. Hu had no choice but to say, "Then be careful on the road."

When he was about to leave, he insisted on stuffing something into Guaiguai's mouth.

On the way, Yang Jun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "The old man actually gave Guaiguai a big red envelope. He is really something."

"The old man spent a lot of money."

Gu Nanke helped his daughter put it away, then smiled and said, "This is all for your sake. Otherwise, with Mr. Ba's temper, he wouldn't be very nice to outsiders."

Indeed, although Mr. Hu always seems cheerful, he is actually very cold when interacting with outsiders. Otherwise, he would not have been so lonely in the county town and even had to sell his coffin money at one point.

He himself may not even know that he has a natural temperament that keeps people at a distance.

Only someone like Yang Jun would not care about these things, and instead gradually become his master and disciple, or even a close friend regardless of age difference.

Just look at the Mi brothers and you will know. They grew up under his care, but their interactions are still relatively unfamiliar. Even now, they are not particularly close.

"Master is a very good person to his own people." Yang Jun sighed.

After the three of them returned home, Gu Nan Ke couldn't wait to coax Guaiguai to sleep.

After getting on the kang, her words made Yang Jun terrified.
