Chapter 284: A Joyous Day
Two days later, it was Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang’s wedding.
Due to surgery, Su Xiaomei was still in the hospital, delayed only by a day, but she survived the ordeal and felt no regrets. She was delighted to have her children by her side!
The Shen Family hired a chef to handle the wedding banquet, and Shen Meng was fully in charge of the purchasing. Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi also thought it proper to entrust her, considering her broad acquaintances, perhaps she could procure some fine items.
Indeed, Shen Meng brought twenty chickens, a hundred pounds of fish, bean sprouts, tofu, fifty pounds each, along with some mountain and sea delicacies, vegetables and fruits. The chef’s eyes lit up upon seeing them, as previously, the host family could hardly provide any decent ingredients.
He felt his talents had nowhere to be displayed.
Now that this family had prepared so much, he was determined to fully demonstrate his skills, make a name for himself, ensuring that for any festivities in the surrounding towns, he would be the first chef people thought of.
Shen Meng also delivered some items to the Lu Family, mentioning naturally that the Shen Family had bought extra, fearing there might not be enough here.
Zhu Juying, looking at the baskets of food and drink, trembled with excitement.
"Aiyo, Xiao Meng, why did your parents send so much? Just the chickens alone are twenty; this is too much. With the meat and other items, our family doesn’t have that many relatives; we don’t need so much food."
"Aunt, you just go ahead and cook. If the chicken and fish are too much, they can be given to my brother Xiangxiang, or just keep them yourselves. My parents are happy, it’s been so long, and finally, we are bringing Xiangxiang back home. I went around the streets and alleys, bought all these old things, some were even bartered, but we mustn’t publicize this!"
