Chapter 1172 Finally Showing Off His Skills

Zheng Xinyue smiled and waved at the girl, pointing at the lamp cord and asking her to pull it. Kerosene lamps were used in the countryside. Not only had the girl never seen such a lamp, but even Zheng Dagui and the others had never seen one.

The girl admired her aunt very much and trusted her words infinitely. She tiptoed to the bed and carefully pulled the lamp cord. Her big black eyes looked at her aunt and gently pulled it down under Zheng Xinyue's encouraging gaze.

"Click!"

The lamp suddenly lit up, and the light shone warmly through the red lampshade. The girl was frightened and shrank her hand!

"Don't be afraid!"

Zheng Xinyue smiled and gently held the girl's hand, looking up at Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin had already taken out a red envelope and used a coaxing tone: "Here's a red envelope for you, take it and buy candy!"

"Mom, I want a red envelope too!"

When Gu Changfeng's nieces and nephews saw the red envelopes, they pulled their mother's clothes and whispered to ask for them. Children in the city would spend money, unlike rural children who honestly don't want money.

Over there, Changfeng's elder sister and sister-in-law scolded the child in a low voice, while here, the eldest girl didn't dare to accept the red envelope at all, and looked at her aunt timidly.

"Take it, this belongs to you, the labor income earned by pulling the light cord!"

Zheng Xinyue took the red envelope from Aunt Qin and handed it to the eldest girl, telling her with a smile.

The next step is to put up the curtains and give the red envelopes. In order to save time, the curtains have been hung long ago. The mother's family just needs to come over and pull the curtains, just for the formality.

Zheng Xinyue called Erniu, and the eldest and second brothers' families are one family, without partiality.

Erniu is more adventurous than the eldest girl and is not afraid of crowds. After listening to the instructions of her aunt, she went over to pull the curtains and successfully got a big red envelope.

The two children walked to Gao Guilan at the same time, and handed the red envelopes to their grandmother obediently. The movements were skillful, but the eyes were reluctant to leave.

"These two red envelopes are given by your aunt. Grandma will keep them for you first. You two must remember your aunt's kindness!"

Gao Guilan, who has always been greedy for money, said this for the first time today, which stunned Zheng Laosan and the others. Zheng Laosan even tapped his ear with his little finger and hit his second brother with his elbow: "Second brother, did I hear it right? Did our mother say this?"

Zheng Chenghu hesitated and shook his head slowly: "I also think I heard it wrong! This is definitely not what my mother said."

Zheng Xinyue washed her hands and made money under the gaze of everyone. She went through all the formalities. The next step was to go to the wedding banquet to change her words and toast to the guests.

There were not many people from the Zheng family, so two tables were enough, but there were many guests from the Gu family who were well-known in S County, and ten tables could not accommodate them.

So, the wedding banquet was not arranged in an ordinary restaurant, but in the canteen of the sugar factory.

For Gu Changfeng's wedding, the Gu family bought a pig from the sugar factory. Except for a piece of meat sent to the Zheng family, the rest was used for the banquet.

Li Tiezhu, the master chef in the canteen, finally showed his skills today. He usually only cooked big pot meals, which was not challenging. Today was Xinyue's wedding, and he felt like he was from her family. He worked hard when cooking. The big spoons were clanging and the flames were whirring.

After the guests were seated, Gu Changfeng and Zheng Xinyue waited in front of the set up stage. The four old people sat upright on the stage, waiting for them to serve tea and change their words. Cao Qiuling was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and her eyes looked at her daughter-in-law with a pair of rare eyes.

Gao Guilan, however, had no smile on her face, and tears were in her eyes. She couldn't bear to blink when she looked at her daughter.

Gu Decheng usually had a sullen face, but today the sun was clear and he had a faint smile on his face. He finally waited for his son to get married, and it was like a huge stone was lifted from his heart.
