Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang had already visited Tang Min's natal home and saw that they lived in a splendid small foreign-style building. At this time, the reaction in this restaurant was not as positive as that of Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying.
Surprised.
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 didn'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 the food, Tang Jianye also ordered two bottles of 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. On the other hand, we can discuss something."
About the wedding of the next two children."
Gu Decheng responded quickly, "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, alcohol and melon seeds. 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 nodded, "Yes, we don't have a banquet at home."
The old lady at the main table 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 a lot of questions, "Then if the bride-to-be escort team is sent directly to the hotel, will the morning meal also be eaten in the hotel?"
Gu Jingchuan said, "Dad, I told you, weddings in the city are different from those in our hometown. Just have a banquet. There is no big pot of food in the morning. Please set the time for the banquet.
Guests will go directly to the hotel and not to the home.”
Tang Jianye also said, "Brother Gu, Jingchuan is right. After the ceremony, there will be a banquet."
"Oh, that's it."
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang were a little confused when they heard this. So what do they mean, the mother-in-law's family will not send off the bride?
Are you all going to have dinner at the hotel?
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 will gather at home and have some food. They will set off when the wedding team arrives. After walking to the groom's house, they will eat first.
After eating the big pot of food, the relatives walked around the village, and then sat down for a meal in the afternoon. After eating, the procession of seeing off the bride could 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 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 the hard dishes. When one end was served, Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying's eyes widened and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
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 Jianye suddenly felt that he was a bit presumptuous, but the eldest brother was cold and indifferent, and seemed to be a little preoccupied, so he could only warm up the scene in his eldest brother's place.
During the meal, Tang Liye still didn't say anything, but he picked up mushrooms from the chicken stewed mushrooms with chopsticks on the plate in front of the old lady.
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 rained. 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.
But some emotions were rolling in the old lady's heart. She shakily put the piece of mushroom into her mouth. 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.
