Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1528: A Simple Wedding Banquet

While the capital was in chaos, the Han family was bustling with excitement, as a joyous event was taking place.

It had been almost a month and a half since Han Yuluo returned to the village with Huang Yuanfeng, Han Lihua, and Han Liling.

Originally, everyone thought the two of them would hold their wedding banquet quickly. Unexpectedly, after Han Yuluo got her brother’s letter of introduction, she only took Huang Yuanfeng to register for marriage and soon moved to the county town.

Today, they finally decided to hold a wedding banquet at Han Yuheng’s house. However, unlike others, they only invited relatives and friends.

Today is January 1, 1975, in the Gregorian calendar, and November 19 in the lunar calendar. There is still more than a month before the Lunar New Year. As they enter the winter season, the weather is getting colder, but there is no snow yet.

In the kitchen, Dong Li and Chen Jianmin were busy cooking while the children and Pan Meijia prepared the ingredients.

Due to the cold weather and Huang Yuanfeng’s reputation, the villagers were unwilling to help with the banquet. As for the guests, there were only three tables in total.

Therefore, they decided to finish all the dishes and serve them at the same time. This way, they could have the meal together. At ten o’clock in the morning, the dishes were ready and everyone sat together in the living room.

The banquet was simple, but the dishes were lavish. Besides hotpot as the main dish, they also prepared steamed fish, Mapo tofu, savory bamboo rice, and roasted chicken. As for the staple, they prepared rice noodles, wheat noodles, and glass noodles made from potato flour.

After everyone took their seats, Han Yuluo stood up, raised his rice wine cup, and said, "Thank you, everyone, for coming today to celebrate my wedding with my wife."

When he finished his words, he drank the cup of fruit wine in one big gulp. Afterward, he poured another cup and raised it again.

He looked at the guests and continued, "I want to thank my best friend, Jueyu, for helping me arrange my wedding banquet. Jueyu, thank you!"

As soon as he finished his words, he gulped down the fruit wine. When he reached out for the third cup, Li Chenmo stopped him and said, "You are the groom. If you get drunk before we even have the chance to drink with you, that would be bad."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu raised her bamboo cup and said, "Brother Yuluo, I will use this fruit juice instead of fruit wine to congratulate you and Sister Huang. I wish both of you a happy marriage and countless blessings."

This time, Huang Yuanfeng also picked up her cup and stood up. The two of them finished the fruit wine and, after thanking everyone, they finally started the banquet.

With the small stove continuing to burn, the hotpot was boiling, spreading the fragrance of food to the neighbors. Besides the woman who lived next door, there were no other neighbors who were willing to come.

Due to her close relationship with Bai Luyun, the woman came over with her family and gifts even when the villagers were pointing fingers at them for getting close with Huang Yuanfeng.

If her children and husband were unhappy with her decision before, when they tasted the dishes and the hotpot today, they no longer felt wronged.

In the winter, let alone having meat, even fresh vegetables were rare. But at today’s banquet, there were not only lots of fresh vegetables but also several meat dishes.

Compared to the villagers’ judgmental gazes, having a full stomach was more important. So, under the persuasion of the woman and the lavish dishes, they no longer held any dissatisfaction toward the Han family.

As the wise say, when you eat others’ food, you have to soften your mouth. When you accept others’ gifts, you have to lower your hand.

The banquet lasted for several hours and ended in the afternoon. After everyone helped clear up the tables and washed the dishes, they took their leave one after another.

Before leaving, Lu Jueyu went to find Huang Yuanfeng and handed a box to her.

Holding the box, Huang Yuanfeng asked, "Sister Lu, what is this?"

"This is your wedding gift. Sister Huang, I hope you will always be happy and carefree as you are today," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

Since the box was small, Huang Yuanfeng accepted it and said, "Thank you."

After the guests left, Han Yuluo returned to their house. For today’s banquet, Han Liling didn’t come with them and stayed at their house alone. They didn’t feel at ease leaving her alone for too long and rushed back as soon as the banquet was done.

While she didn’t join the banquet and was unwilling to meet with her parents, Han Yuheng and Bai Luyun still prepared dishes and things for their daughter and asked Han Yuluo to give them to her.

As the sky darkened, Han Yuluo and his family finally arrived at the county town. They rode the bicycle and entered the family compound. Not long after, they reached their house.

Hearing the sound from outside, Han Liling rushed out from the living room. Seeing them return, she smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunty, Xiao Hua, you are back!"

Carrying the items, they entered the house as Han Yuluo said, "Liling, we brought back lots of delicious food for you. It’s made by Dong Li and Chen Jianmin."

When she heard this, Han Liling was taken aback and said, "I didn’t know that Brother Ah Li and Brother Jianmin have this skill."

"You must be hungry. Aunty will heat up the dish so you can have your dinner," Huang Yuanfeng said and walked to the kitchen.

After they decided to move out of the village, Han Yuluo and Huang Yuanfeng went to look for a job.

Fortunately, the two of them were educated and skilled. So after a while, Huang Yuanfeng was hired as a cloth factory worker, while Han Yuluo worked as an accountant in the brigade office.
