Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang had already visited Tang Min's natal home and saw that they lived in a magnificent small foreign-style building. At this time, in this restaurant, the reaction was not as surprised as that of Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying.
Everyone entered the box, and the old lady had been helped by Tang Ye and Gu Jingqi to sit on the main seat, and they poured tea for her.
The old lady kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the door. When she saw everyone coming in, a look of nervousness and apprehension flashed across her face.
She was weak and felt very tired sitting like this, but she couldn't care about anything else at the moment and just stared at the figures coming towards the door.
Tang Jianye said to everyone enthusiastically, "Come on, please sit down, brother, let's sit next to mom."
Tang Liye didn't say anything, but he cooperated with Tang Jianye's suggestion. He glanced at the seat to the right of the old lady, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked over and sat down. .??.
Tang Jianye reached the left side of the old lady and then helped others take their seats.
The old lady of the Tang family had always been very worried. At this time, her two sons sat next to her, and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart dissipated in an instant.
More gratification and touching.
There were two large round tables in the private room. According to the previous dining rules, Tang Ye and Gu Jingqi had already sat at the other table.
Just as Gu Jinghui was about to walk towards his elders, Gu Jingqi quickly pulled him over.
"Brother, sister-in-law, come on, let's sit over here."
"Oh." Gu Jinghui glanced at Tang Liye, who looked majestic, and followed Gu Jingqi over.
After everyone was seated, Tang Jianye took the menu and asked everyone to order.
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang were sitting there, not daring to move, let alone ordering food. They couldn't read all the words on the menu.
Tang Min smiled and said, "Second uncle, you and my dad and the others can order. You are familiar with this place."
"Okay." Tang Jianye opened the menu, "Just eat."
After ordering, Tang Jianye asked for two more bottles.
Good wine.
While waiting for the food, Molly smiled and said to Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang, "In-laws, let's have dinner together today. On the one hand, we can get acquainted with each other, and on the other hand, we can discuss the wedding of our two children."
Gu Decheng quickly responded, "Okay, Xiao Min's mother, we don't understand the customs and habits here in the city. Whatever you say, we will cooperate."
Molly said, "Actually, it's nothing special. The hotel has been booked and invitations to relatives and friends have been sent out."
"For the banquet, Jingchuan and Xiaomin will take care of the dishes, as well as the tobacco, wine, melon seeds, etc. You need to see them."
Gu Decheng confirmed to Molly, "Then we won't have a banquet at home and we will all go to the hotel, right?"
Originally, Gu Jingchuan had already told them that there was no need to prepare anything at home and everyone would go to the hotel.
Gu Decheng has never seen a wedding held in a hotel.
Hearing Gu Jingchuan's words was confusing.
Now, when the in-laws met, he wanted to make a serious confirmation.
The wedding is only about a week away, and if they are in their rural areas, they are already planning to hire cooks, kill pigs if they have them, and visit neighbors in advance to provide tables, chairs, and benches.
All in all, there is a lot to do.
But now in the city, the children are busy working and don't take it seriously at all, and they have no way to start.
Molly met the confused looks of Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang, and she nodded, "Yes, we don't have a banquet at home."
The old lady at the main seat also tried her best to join in their conversation and said with a smile, "Children are so trendy these days. They can all do it in the hotel, which is convenient."
Gu Decheng still had doubts, "If the bride-to-be send-off team is sent directly to the hotel, what will happen in the morning?"
Do you want to have a meal at the hotel too?”
Gu Jingchuan said, "Dad, I told you, weddings in the city are different from our hometown. Just have a banquet. There is no big pot of food in the morning. If you set a banquet time, the guests will go directly to the hotel and not come to your home.
.”
Tang Jianye also said, "Brother Gu, Jingchuan is right. After the ceremony, there will be a banquet."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang were a little confused after hearing this. So what do they mean, the mother-in-law's family won't send off the bride?
Everyone went to the hotel to have dinner? .???.
How can there be such a thing?
How can we omit such a sacred and important ceremony as sending off a bride?
Molly asked, "In-laws, are you going to send someone off to your hometown?"
Gu Decheng nodded, "Yes, in the morning, all the bride's relatives and friends gather at home, have some food, and then set off when the welcoming team arrives. After arriving at the groom's house, they eat a big pot of food first, and after eating, the relatives
We'll walk around the village, sit down and have a meal in the afternoon, and then the escorting procession can go back."
The suona to welcome the bride and the firecrackers to send off the bride are both indispensable.
"That's right." Molly smiled, "Customs may vary from place to place."
Gu Jingchuan looked at his dull-looking parents, "Mom, Dad, you don't have to worry. Just take care of yourself and go to the hotel to attend. We will take care of the rest."
Gu Decheng sighed, "We are so blind that we can't help even if we want to."
Soon, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.
Tang Jianye ordered all hard dishes. When one end was served, Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying's eyes widened and they couldn't help but swallow.
Gu Jingxiu felt a little embarrassed when she saw the shameful appearance of her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Here, after the food was served, Tang Jianye offered a drink first and said a few polite words.
Tang Jian
Ye suddenly felt that he was a bit overshadowing the guest, but the elder brother was cold and indifferent, and seemed to be a little preoccupied, so he could only warm up the scene in his place.
During the meal, Tang Liye still didn't say anything, but he put chopsticks on the plate in front of the old lady and picked up mushrooms from the chicken stew.
He remembered that his mother used to like mushrooms the most.
Every time she makes chicken stewed with mushrooms, she takes care of all the mushrooms by herself.
When he and Tang Jianye were young, they would go out to play. Sometimes they would see mushrooms picked by a tree that had been raining. His father would fry them and let his mother eat them.
This old lady, in fact, has been happy all her life.
When the old lady saw the dish on the plate and realized that the person on her right had brought it to her, her eyes suddenly filled with mist.
She tried her best to control her inner emotions, but in the end she couldn't hold it back and her eyes fell into the plate.
After Tang Liye finished picking up the dishes, he naturally ate his own, and then talked to Gu Decheng and the others from time to time.
Everything is so natural.
The old lady was feeling some kind of emotion in her heart. She put the piece of mushroom into her mouth tremblingly. She ate very slowly because her teeth were not good.
Her tears flowed into her mouth, feeling salty.
After so many years, I didn’t expect that her boss still remembered her favorite dishes.
Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying had already had a meal at Lin Yongqiang's invitation in the afternoon and were not hungry now.
They also came here with the purpose of meeting Tang Min's family.
However, when they saw the various delicacies served by the waiters one after another, they couldn't help it.
Eat even if your stomach is full.
After all, they have basically never seen these things.
Wang Ying put the child in her arms into Gu Jinghui's hand and started to eat happily.
