Chapter 212 - 0212 Bridal Chamber Candles 4_1
"Do we still have meat at home?" Lu Tianzhi asked as Lu Jiang nodded. He then accused, "Uncle, you’re so mean. On your big wedding day, you didn’t bring out all the meat for everyone to eat! But then again, I’m really happy to hear this!" By the end, his accusation turned into exhilaration, his eyes curved like crescent moons.
Guan Yu, who was younger and even more innocent and exuberant than him, had a chubby face that bloomed into a smile.
"Go and chat with your auntie. If she’s happy, she’ll often cook delicious food for you.
Because Chen Ming, Xu Aiguo, Cheng An and others had helped to get fresh pork, pork skin, pig’s blood, and so on, a significant portion of the cured meat and sausages that Feng Qingxue had asked Jiang He to deliver were saved. It wasn’t that Lu Jiang deliberately did not bring them out.
Feng Qingxue was feeling bored sitting in the bridal chamber, but she was indeed very happy to see the children.
She quickly noticed the red rings around two of the children’s eyes. After finding out the reason, she couldn’t help but laugh, and softly said, "Tianzhi, Ayu, don’t be upset. If there’s a chance, I will cook the authentic ’Eight Big Bowls’ for the family exclusively, and we won’t allow others at the table. Then no one will fight with you, and everyone can eat their fill!"
As she spoke, she stood up and opened the betrothal chest to take out some fruits. At the same time, she used the chest to shield herself as she took out treats like sachima and peanut candies that she had carefully wrapped in paper from her pocket, and gave them to the boys.
Under Feng Qingxue’s direction, Lu Tianjun brought some to his father and returned carrying a military canteen.
They were eating and drinking in the bridal chamber while people outside were also doing the same until three or four o’clock.
Food, wine and cigarettes were all fully consumed.
