Chapter 285: Eating wedding candy will bring good luck

Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingkai sat at the kitchen door, waiting for the chef to cook the lard. While Uncle Guai was entertaining people, he would glance at them from time to time.

It's like New Year's Day every day in this house. Even when going out, people still miss the lard residue!
He felt his pocket and found a bag of sugar wrapped in paper inside. He was waiting to sprinkle the sugar on the lard residue after it was cooked.

Shen Meng stared at the greedy cats and couldn't help staring.

"What are you doing sitting here? Grandma Youzha has also given you Liu Lu a lot!"

"I want to eat. I want to eat."

Lu Mingkai twisted his little butt and staggered to stay in the kitchen. Mingyang and the others looked at Shen Meng with helplessness on their faces. Mingliang even sighed.

"Mom, Mingkai is a stubborn donkey. He doesn't want to leave now. He just doesn't want to leave."

"Okay, okay, wait here and eat!"

Several aunties and sisters who were nearby laughed happily when they saw that Shen Meng had no way to deal with the child. They said, "You say you are so good, but there are people who are more powerful than you. Nothing can defeat the child."

The whole yard was bustling with activity. People had to go out early on New Year's Day and the banquet would start around ten in the morning. There were steamed three-grain flour buns and prepared meals. The aroma made people drool. After two rounds of tea, the bride's reception arrived.

Shen Xiaobin was wearing new clothes and had some hair oil on his head. He looked very dignified. As soon as he entered the yard, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Looking at such a handsome son-in-law, the old couple couldn't stop smiling.

Following behind Shen Xiaobin were some relatives of the Shen family, who came to move Lu Xiangxiang's dowry.

When the old couple saw Shen Xiaobin, they forgot everything.

The lard residue that Mingkai had been waiting for for a long time was finally fished out. The chef gave him half a bowl of it. This was what the host had instructed beforehand. These children are not ordinary children, they are very precious!
Mingkai was holding a half bowl of lard residue and was about to rush into the crowd.

"Why are you going to Mingkai? There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid of being squeezed?"

"I, I want to go find Grandpa Guai. Grandpa Guai said he hid some sugar for me. I'll sprinkle it on the oil residue and it will smell delicious."

"Ugh~, it tastes better when sprinkled with salt and pepper. Sprinkling it with sugar is too greasy. No." Mingliang frowned and pulled him uncontrollably when he heard Mingkai's words, refusing to let go.

"I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it~."

"Keep your voice down or I'll beat you up if you keep yelling. Today my uncle and aunt are getting married, so don't make a fuss and eat less. We'll go to grandma's house later and have a good meal!"

Lu Mingkai pouted, unable to struggle free, and just looked at Shen Meng with pitiful eyes.

"Hehehe, what a perfect match!"

Shen Meng stood in the crowd, looking at the young couple standing together, and chatting with others. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was a burning gaze staring at her, but when she turned her head, she couldn't see it anymore.

"Don't look at me, you're too short, Mom can't see you. Brother, shall we go sit down? We won't be able to take your seat later."

"Go, go, go, everyone sit on the stools. Mingkai, you have to guard your seat well and don't let anyone take it away, or else Mom won't be able to sit down."

When he heard that the banquet was about to begin, Lu Mingkai felt that the lard residue in his hand no longer smelled good.

Several children hurriedly went to find a seat, but most of the seats were already taken. Although everyone wanted to see the bride and groom, most of them just wanted to grab a seat and have a good meal.

"Mingliang, Mingyang, come here, come here, there is a seat over here."

"Auntie." Sitting at the outermost table were Wang Lianhua, Xie Jinghao, Xifeng, Yu Xueli and a few others, plus their children. The table was completely packed.

"The feast will begin soon. Where's your mother?"

"Mom is joining in the fun. She's so happy that she's about to jump up and down."

"Pfft, of course your mother is happy. She is the one who facilitated the marriage, and the couple will soon be living on their own. How can she not be happy?"

"Yes, now that Xiangxiang is married, we should look forward to Shirley's wedding."

Yu Xueli's face turned a little red, and Da Ya and Xiao Ya looked at her and covered their mouths and laughed.

They had already met Uncle Qian, who was a very nice man. He had a very gentle grandmother at home. When they went there for the first time, she cooked a lot of delicious food for them and also gave them a gift.

They lived in the county town, in a very big yard, and they were also told that they would have their own rooms in the future.

Although they felt a little sad, they were actually happy to see that Uncle Qian was so good to their mother. In the past six months, they had been living the most comfortable and happiest life.

"Don't make fun of me. Old Qian and I have plenty of time. Let's wait until Daya has studied for two more years!"

"Hey, you are also... I heard before that your husband is very busy. Your mother is the only one at home and she is old too. Shirley, don't think I am being harsh. This man is so well-off, you should get married as soon as possible. Daya can also go to school in the county town, which is better than the one in our commune!"

"Of course, Doctor Qian and you are not too old. His mother is so old, you should take advantage of her life and let her have grandchildren. This way, the family can live a happy life together and stay away from the Xu family. This will prevent the big girl and the little girl from being scared when they see them."

Wang Lianhua listened to what Xie Jinghao and Xifeng said, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"That's right, Shirley. Seeing you live a good life, I feel much better. I have three children at home, so I have to learn from you and live a good life so that I can have hope in the future."

Although she said this, her heart was already filled with joy. She had no idea how happy she was as a lonely person.

Xifeng looked at Wang Lianhua and patted her hand. Her sister-in-law had really changed a lot. She treated the children like precious pearls now. Any good things in her room were given to the children first. She had also secretly checked the children's health several times and found no signs of being beaten. The children also said that their mother was really nice now.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Sister-in-law Meng won't let you live a hard life. She should have her own plans."

"Oh, I know. I'm not in a hurry. I'm very content now."

After a while, Shen Meng came back, followed by a manager. The man was holding a tray in his hand, muttering something, and grabbed the candies and loose cigarettes on the tray and started throwing them around.

Seeing this, some elderly people and children who were originally sitting there hurriedly lay on the ground and started picking up candies.

Mingyang and the others also ran to pick up the food, but Mingkai, holding his bowl, sat at the table without moving.

"Why don't you pick it up?"

"Mom, they are so childish. There are candies all over the drawers at home. Why would they go and pick them up?"

Shen Meng: “.”

Wipe your mouth, how mature you are.

"This is the wedding candy from your uncle and your aunt Xiangxiang. It's different from the ones at home. It's much sweeter than the ones at home. And if you eat the wedding candy, good things will happen to you."

Lu Mingkai looked at Shen Meng with his big innocent eyes, and the others at the table also looked at her. She was knowledgeable and what she said must be right.

Shen Meng laughed twice before saying, "Not necessarily."
