Twelve attend wedding ceremony

  Everyone who had been staying in the new house soon moved to a restaurant where a banquet was being held.

  In Li Wei's memory, the hotel where the wedding was held should be luxurious and grand, or at least look a bit upscale. Otherwise, it would be better to have it at home, which would save money and be more lively.

  But now the restaurant completely overturned her impression. Maybe it was because she hadn't been to a decent restaurant before graduating from high school in her previous life, and seeing how restaurants hold banquets in this era still came as a shock. If the bride and groom weren't inside, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong place.

  My goodness, this is also called a restaurant! It's comparable to the snack bars of later generations. The only thing that looks better than the snack bar is that it's bigger and can fit more than ten large round tables. Li Wei looked around and saw white walls with no decorations, at least the floor was paved with tiles, but as for the rest... um... really couldn't find any special features, sigh, what a simple era!

  More than a decade later, restaurants can't help but be armed to the teeth with decorations.

  Although it looks simple, it has the unique fragrance of food itself that is peculiar to restaurants, which reminds Li Wei of steamed buns and dumplings, the pure taste of food.

  Li Wei was seated at a table with a group of children, over ten boys and girls aged from six or seven to over ten, all sitting together in a circle. Meanwhile, her grandfather sat at another table with his several brothers, chatting and laughing loudly, their voices shaking the tiles on the roof.

  Li Wei didn't eat the candies on the table, she grabbed a few and stuffed them into the secret pocket inside her little jacket. This secret pocket was something she had asked her mom to add especially, it was so small that you couldn't even put a handkerchief in there, but it was just right for hiding some candy or other treats to bring back home.

  Li Wei rarely eats sweets like candy now, after growing up her teeth are not good, many cavities, it's not too late to start protecting them.

  She was puzzled, Li Lin and Li Lianhui ate more sweets than her, but their teeth grew well, born by the same mother, how could the gap be so big!

  Li Wei packed up the sugar, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them while sizing up the little kids at the table.

  It's better not to look. One glance and I'm startled! Damn it! I've got a stain on my shirt!

  I thought I was the only one who dressed up in this half-original, piecemeal way. It shouldn't be too surprising, nor should it be common among the masses. But then there's a young girl about her age sitting across from her, wearing an outfit that's almost identical to hers.

  Although sitting with a table blocking the view, only the upper body can be seen. But it's enough. Whether it's the hairstyle, the color of the small jacket, or the style of the skirt inside. Except for the pattern on the decoration above, there is almost no difference. Li Wei even deliberately took two organic glass buttons from her mother's woolen jacket and sewed them under the small round collar. All the original buttons on Li Lin's old clothes were cut off and discarded. For this, she had once sworn to heaven and earth that she would sew the buttons back for her mother as soon as she returned from attending the wedding.

  Now. Especially funny is. On the little beauty's jacket opposite. There are also two red rabbit eyes!

  Li Wei took a closer look. The other person's watch was the original, without any signs of modification. She knew her own stuff. To put it bluntly, she herself was the fake version.

  But anyway, Li Wei was never a avant-garde or trendy person, nor was she a celebrity. She just happened to have some idle thoughts and wrote them down. So what if she got criticized? It's not like anyone died from it.

  However, the little beauty in front of her obviously didn't think so. Almost at the same time, she also discovered that Li Wei's dress was very similar to hers. Most of the other kids at this table were familiar to her, and now a stranger had appeared, dressed like this... Without thinking much, when Li Wei looked at her, she gave Li Wei a sideways glance with her eyes, thus beginning their fateful encounter.

  Li Wei suddenly laughed, oh, the little guy was still looking at her with a white eye, thinking he was a star, ah, is this... the legendary star style?

  Needless to say, Li Wei took a closer look and found that although Xiao was young, she had a few charming features and was indeed a beautiful girl.

  They haven't even figured out the outcome of this clothing accident yet, and they're already serving dishes.

  The color of the dishes is also incomparable to those from over a decade ago, but the chef's skills are in no way inferior. Especially the quality of the ingredients, which is absolutely unbeatable compared to the nutrient-fortified foods of later generations - completely green and healthy. Just smelling it makes one very hungry, Li Wei doesn't know if it's because her eating habits have declined over time, making her hungrier, but anyway, it smells great.

  As she ate, Li Wei discovered that the little beauty opposite her had not dispelled her hostility. Whenever the children liked to eat something like sausage, fried glutinous rice balls, salted shrimp, or bean paste buns, the little beauty would quickly take them away from her and give them to others. At first, Li Wei didn't notice, and even helped move some dishes to the middle of the table so everyone could reach them easily. She thought the little beauty was quite considerate, knowing how to take care of others. But as it happened more often, she realized that wasn't the case. Why didn't she take food from in front of herself to give to others? Why did she only take food from in front of Li Wei to give to others? How come everyone at the table was enjoying her "care" except for Li Wei herself?

  Li Wei tried to take a piece of egg, and sure enough, the little beauty glared at Li Wei with a warning look, and then began to distribute food to everyone like a kindergarten aunt.

  Li Wei was both angry and amused, this little brat, is it necessary, really thinks he's a star now, looks like at home he's been spoiled and has become somewhat willful, wherever he goes he must be the first to take the lead and grab the spotlight.

  Li Wei was too lazy to argue with her, and she refilled a small half bowl of rice, picked up her chopsticks, and quickly scooped all the dishes into her bowl in one swift motion. She started eating seriously, and after finishing, she still had to supervise her grandfather to drink less wine, no time to waste on this little kid.

  The little beauty suddenly lost her demonstration object, even more suffocated, and with great force, she gave Li Wei a few more glances, but unfortunately, it was wasted on the blind man.

  Li Wei had just finished eating and was thinking of going to her grandfather's side to supervise, when the newlyweds came over to toast.

  Originally, according to the groom Li Zhe's intention, it was fine to let the children go, but the bride Liu Yunping thought for a moment and decided to pour each of them a glass of soda water anyway, or say a couple of words, after all, children are human beings too.

  It was their turn at this table when a newlywed couple came over.

  The bride, Liu Yunping, looked at the table of little guys and smiled: "Hello kids, what do you like to eat? Tell Auntie and I'll get the waiter to bring it for you."

  Before anyone else could speak, the little beauty said clearly: "Third uncle and third aunt are good, third aunt you look really beautiful today."

  The little mouth is quite sweet, and it seems from the tone of voice that they are still quite familiar with each other.

  Li Wei didn't want to say anything, but seeing the other kids eating and drinking busily, she couldn't help but notice that Xiaomei, although a bit of a diva, was still quite polite. Li Wei saw the newlyweds busy getting soda for their table, so she habitually stood up, took the glass, and said something: "Well, congratulations to the newlyweds, may you have a harmonious marriage until old age."

  He solemnly clinked his cup with the bride and groom after finishing speaking.

  It's not what she said that matters, but the fact that she can say something. Li Zhe and Liu Yunping were both delighted: "Thanks for the kind words, little friend!"

  Especially Li Zhe, he thought that although his father's sworn brother was a rough man, the children at home were still quite polite.

  Li Wei ate and drank her fill, then toasted with wine and moved a stool to sit beside her grandfather. In the afternoon she still planned to go for a stroll, if her grandfather got drunk, it would delay things.

  However, the old man was in high spirits with his three sworn brothers, clinking glasses and drinking merrily. Fortunately, it was only beer; otherwise, even a large capacity wouldn't be able to withstand such drinking. Li Wei glanced at the beer crate in the corner, which was filled with over 20 empty bottles. There were six people at the table, each averaging more than three bottles.

  Li Wei whispered beside him: "Grandpa, drink a little less, we still have things to do in the afternoon."

  The old man hadn't spoken yet, and Li Siye was pouring wine for everyone while laughing: "Girlie, your grandma told you to come take care of your grandpa, don't worry, if your grandpa gets drunk, just stay here, you can spend the night at Fourth Grandfather's house with your grandpa, hehe..."

  Li Wei thought to herself, "This old man's ears are quite useful, tomorrow her grandfather has work and she still has school, what 'live at your house' nonsense. But she also knew that the old man hadn't seen his brothers in a long time, so they must want to get close for a bit, and she couldn't be rude: "Fourth Grandfather, we have things to do tomorrow, besides, if my grandfather really gets drunk and can't come back, then would my grandmother and mother still let me go out with him in the future?"

  The tall and thin Old Master Luo also smiled, teasing Li Wei: "Hey, little girl is quite talkative, tell me, why didn't your grandma and mom let you come out with us?"

  Li Wei looked wronged and even a little teary-eyed as she imitated her mother's tone: "You follow your grandfather out, but you don't take good care of him. Don't you know that drinking is bad for his health at his age? I think from now on, it's better if you don't go with him. Even if you do go, it's all in vain. It's better to stay home and take care of the kids!"

  All the old men at the table laughed, and no one thought that this was what Li Wei, such a big child, had come up with to persuade them to drink. They all thought that Old Master's daughter was worried about Old Master and was instructing the children.

  Although the wine table is still going on, the rhythm of drinking and urging has obviously slowed down.

  However, Li Wei was anxious in her heart, and she couldn't help but scold her grandfather. She thought to herself, "You're already so old, how can you still be so unreasonable? Not to mention what happened this afternoon when they went out for a walk, just think about how he got drunk and came home, Grandma would definitely have given him an earful, causing everyone to worry."

  Finally, Li Wei couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly stood up: "Everyone, let me pour you a glass of wine."

  The old men were delighted, and Li Siye said to Cheng Enjiu with a smile: "Older brother, your granddaughter is quite interesting, haha, come on, someone, pass the beer over."

  Li Wei stood up straightforwardly and took over the wine bottle handed over by others, saying loudly: "Waiter, bring another glass."

  Several old men smiled and watched Li Wei, wondering what she was going to do.

  Li Wei took a paper towel and placed it under the wine bottle to prevent slipping, then grasped the back half of the bottle with both hands and carefully poured a cup for each person starting from her grandfather in a counterclockwise direction.

  The silent third brother, Chen Weiguo, watched Li Wei pour wine and nodded to his older brother Cheng Enjiu: "Not bad, big brother, your granddaughter's wine-pouring skills are quite impressive, she has some talent."

  Cheng Enjia smiled with satisfaction, his granddaughter was really not bad. Although he was an uneducated roughneck, it could be seen that among the children at the table, his granddaughter was still outstanding and didn't look like a rural child at all.

  Li Wei thought to herself, the interesting part is yet to come.

  Li Wei finished pouring the wine and picked up her own half-full beer:

  "Excited heart, trembling hands,"

  I pour wine for grandpas, but they refuse to drink and say I'm ugly.

  The old men burst out laughing: "Good, good kid, you still have this trick up your sleeve. Let's go, brothers!"

  Li Wei originally didn't want to drink this round, but in order to let her grandfather drink less, she picked up her wine cup without hesitation and took a sip. Her grandfather next to her suddenly became anxious: "Aiya, girl, you..."

  "Alas, big brother, the beer is not strong at all. It's like drinking water for kids." Meanwhile, Bai Ba Zi's second younger brother chimed in and stopped Grandpa.

  Before her grandfather could finish speaking, Li Wei picked up the wine bottle again and went around in a circle as usual, continuing to hold up her own half cup of wine.

  "When I came, grandma had left instructions"

  Drink less wine and eat more dishes.

  Wine makes heroes of us all.

  How dare you disobey your grandmother?

  The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke.

  Li Bai arrived at the roast duck restaurant.

  Drool flows down three thousand feet

  There's no money in the pocket.

  Now I'll have half a cup.

  "Grandpas won't be done until they've had a drink."

  He finished speaking and drank up the remaining half cup of wine in his hand, then refilled the cups for the old men.

  The old men listened more and more happily, watching Li Wei drink wine, thunderously cheering, and also finishing all the wine in front of them at once. These people were not afraid to drink at all.

  Li Wei picked up the wine bottle and continued to pour, her grandfather wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Old Man Chen. This kid is really interesting, go on, go on.

  "Weeding in the daytime when the sun is high"

  Sweat drips down to the earth.

  Down three cups of wine in one go

  Deep feelings don't make bitter words.

  。。。。。。

  Spring sleep does not know dawn.

  Everywhere the cry of birds is heard.

  Raising my cup to ask Grandfather

  How much should I drink?

  I drink more and you drink less

  An elder like that is unbearable.

  。。。。。。。

  The east wind blows the war drum loud and clear, who dares to drink with me today!

  。。。。。。

  To make guests drink well, one's own family should drink first.

  。。。。。。

  The sky is blue, the sea is blue, one cup after another is passed down.

  There is no cloud in the sky and drought on the ground, so the previous cup does not count.

  Sweat, white drunk this.

  。。。。。。

  A good wine is too little for old friends.

  As much as you can drink, drink as much as you can.

  If you can't drink it, pour it out quickly.

  They all fell down, and those who didn't make it also collapsed on the table.

  Only Li Wei and her grandfather, who stared at her with wide eyes, were left at the table.

  Li Wei took a bite of the dish and said, "This table is great! The kids' favorite dishes haven't been touched. She busied herself pouring the last cup for her grandfather, who hadn't had a drink since she started urging him to drink.

  "When going out, mom's instructions are: drink less wine, order more dishes, if it's not enough get up and order more, if we win we don't drink, if we lose we make excuses, if we can't finish the food bring it back home."

  "Hey, waiter, bring some take-out bags."

  With a dark face and an unnatural expression, he bid farewell to his brothers' wives, and Old Master Cheng led his granddaughter walking on the city streets for the first time in his life. He felt both proud and embarrassed, thinking that his thick skin was not enough this time.

  Proudly, this little granddaughter of his, at such a young age, can drink down a whole table of old men. She herself must have drunk more than a bottle, yet her face doesn't change color and her heart doesn't skip a beat. This capacity for liquor will serve her well in the future. It's just a pity she's not a boy.

  It's a shame, alas, just look at the two big bags in their hands, they can sweep away half of our table of wine and dishes.

  And also, where did this girl learn all these things? How come it sounds like she's from a family of drunkards? How is she going to face her brothers' wives in the future?!
