Chapter 20 Engagement Banquet

The dishes were served quickly, filling the entire round table with their colorful, fragrant and delicious flavors.

Garlic pork, sweet and sour fish, diving rabbit, mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, braised beef, camphor tea duck, red oil pork elbow...

Four vegetarian dishes, eight meat dishes, a sour radish and old duck soup, and two desserts, brown sugar rice cakes and sesame balls.

The Zhang family was simply stunned.

I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen so many delicious dishes, let alone eaten them.

Jiang Qing was also shocked.

Although she had lived two lives, this was her first time to enter such a high-end restaurant and her first time to enjoy such a delicious meal.

But when she thought that such enjoyment and experience were all thanks to Jiang Moli, she felt upset and depressed.

"Moli, don't just focus on eating by yourself, help your Aunt An pick up some food."

Jiang Moli spat out a fish bone, turned to An Hui and said, "Pick up what you like. If you can't reach it, stand up."

An Hui picked up the hawthorn juice and took a big sip with a depressed look.

She finally understood that this daughter-in-law didn't care whether her mother-in-law liked her or not.

Jiang Qing looked at this scene and sneered in her heart.

Jiang Moli hasn't changed, she's still as stupid and pretentious as before.

Father Lu had always looked down on Jiang Moli and refused to show up even when he proposed marriage, but Jiang Moli still didn't know how to restrain herself.

If I continue like this today, I'm afraid that my engagement will be broken off before I can even marry into the Lu family.

As the fiancé, Lu Cheng naturally supports his wife.

"Jasmine is right. Everyone can help themselves to whatever they like to eat. Don't be restrained. We are all family."

An Hui and Jiang Moli rolled their eyes at him at the same time.

Jiang Moli: I want you to talk too much~
An Hui: Look how impatient you are, it’s so unbearable to watch!
Lu Cheng smiled.

They are indeed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they roll their eyes in the same way.

Jiang Dahai had completely given up on the idea of ​​his daughter performing and chose to take the lead himself. "Everyone, try this sweet and sour fish. It's sweet and sour and appetizing, and the fish doesn't taste fishy at all. It's Guanghua's signature dish."

Lu Cheng flattered him, "Uncle Jiang, if you like the taste of their restaurant, then Jasmine and I'll have our wedding banquet here."

Jiang Moli almost choked.

Jiang Dahai readily agreed, "Okay."

"Then it's settled."

No, when it comes to things like holding a wedding banquet, don’t they even ask for her opinion as the person involved?
Besides, she didn't agree to marry!
Just as Jiang Moli was about to throw her chopsticks in protest, An Hui beside her suddenly put a red envelope in front of her.

"This is courtesy, please accept it."

Perhaps because she was angry that Jiang Moli didn't pick up any food for her, An Hui's tone was a little cold.

"Jasmine, what are you staring at? Hurry up and thank Aunt An."

Seeing that Jiang Moli didn't move, Jiang Dahai couldn't help but remind her.

Jiang Qing, Li Hongying and Jin Yulan, who were sitting at the same table, all looked at this scene with great envy.

I gave a betrothal gift of 888 before, and now I am giving a separate red envelope.

The Lu family must be very wealthy.

How come they didn’t meet such good in-laws?

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Moli would not have a problem with money.

But taking this money is equivalent to agreeing to the marriage.

But think about it, Lu Cheng is rich and handsome, so she won't suffer any loss.

As for the character and family of the person, she had nothing to worry about since they were talents screened by the army.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Seeing that she accepted the red envelope, Jiang Dahai and Lu Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone continued to eat and had a great time.

"Ah, where's Xiaopeng?"

Li Hongying on the opposite side mentioned it, and Jiang Moli then remembered that Jiang Peng was still guarding the public toilet for her.

After saying a few perfunctory words, she borrowed two aluminum lunch boxes from the restaurant, one for vegetables and the other for three taels of rice, and prepared to send them to Jiang Peng after dinner.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Jiang Dahai came out of the restaurant and warmly invited everyone to the teahouse for tea and listening to storytelling.

Jiang Moli was thinking about delivering food to Jiang Peng, "Dad, you guys go ahead, I have something to do." Jiang Dahai pulled her, "You are not allowed to go anywhere."

The Lu family came to propose marriage in the morning, and it would be very rude if Jiang Moli was not at home. She had to accompany her future in-laws in the afternoon to make a good impression.

"I'm really in trouble."

"Don't come on, what can you do?"

Jiang Moli was about to explain that she had found a job sweeping toilets when Lu Cheng spoke up, "Uncle Jiang, you guys go have some tea. I'll take Moli for a walk."

Jiang Dahai immediately pushed Jiang Moli to Lu Cheng's side, smiling so much that two chrysanthemums bloomed at the corners of his eyes. "Okay, go ahead and take a walk."

Jiang Moli: "..."

Lu Cheng greeted An Hui, Li Hongying and the Zhang family one by one, and then took the lunch box from Jiang Moli in a familiar manner.

"Let's go."

"Let's go!"

Jiang Moli walked in front with a proud look on her face.

Lu Cheng followed half a step behind, his black eyes full of smiles falling on her petite and delicate body.

Jiang Dahai couldn't stop smiling. He glanced at his stepdaughter staring at his daughter's back, so he asked Zhang Jiaming to take Jiang Qing out for a walk as well.

After Zhang Jiaming and Jiang Qing left, Jiang Dahai said to An Hui, Zhang Tiesheng and the others:
"They young people have their own way of playing. Let's go have some tea and listen to some opera."

An Hui declined politely, "Let's stop here for today. Let the young people discuss the wedding themselves. We, the elders, will just be responsible for the money and effort."

"Okay, okay, mother-in-law, what's wrong? How about I give you a ride on my bike?"

An Hui politely waved her hand, "No need, I'll go with Xiaoguang and the others. They came here in a truck."

Jiang Dahai was surprised. "That Jiefang truck at the entrance of the family quarters, is it yours?"

"There were too many things and it was inconvenient to carry them, so I borrowed a car from the organization."

Jin Yulan and Zhang Tiesheng looked at each other.

Not only are there guards, but even the army's Liberation Army vehicles can be borrowed at any time. It can be imagined that Lu's father's rank in the army is definitely not low.

Jiang Dahai is so lucky!

Fortunately, their Zhang family and the Jiang family have become relatives, so the Zhang family can also benefit from this good fortune.

……

After walking a distance, Lu Cheng took two steps at a time and walked shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Moli. "Who is this meal for?"

"Your brother-in-law."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "I still owe him a big red envelope."

Jiang Moli glanced at him, "With your conditions, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife?"

Lu Cheng didn't answer but asked, "Then why haven't you gotten married yet?"

"Because I haven't met anyone who is willing to pay 500 yuan as a betrothal gift."

Speaking of betrothal gifts, Jiang Moli thought of something, "Did you bring the women's bicycle to my yard?"

"Well, according to your request, three turns and one ring, no less, plus 888 betrothal gifts."

Jiang Moli's already round eyes immediately widened, "You gave my family 888 betrothal gifts?"

"To be precise, it's for you. It's with your father. Go back and ask him for it. I don't think your father is the kind of person who would covet his daughter's dowry."

"It's not your place to judge who he is."

Jiang Moli rolled her eyes, but in her heart she felt more satisfied with the marriage.

It should be said that I am very satisfied with the man in front of me.

He has a top-notch appearance and figure, is not stingy, and is a soldier. If he were in later times, he would be eaten alive by the single women who are as hungry as wolves.

"Have you ever dated before?" she asked with interest.

"No. I joined the army when I was 17 and stayed in the snowy region for four years. Later, I was transferred to the southwest border. I was always in the army during these years and had no chance to find a partner."

Although Jiang Moli doesn't mind these things about her ex, it would naturally be better if the other party didn't have an ex.

"So, I'm your first love?"

"Yes, what about you?"

Jiang Moli blinked and said, "Guess."
