Chapter 672 The Bride Serves Tea
Zhou Gu smiled and said, "Yes, our master knows Kung Fu. She worshipped him as her master, and he taught her all his Kung Fu. She gets up before dawn every day to practice Kung Fu, rain or shine. You will understand after a while."
After a while, Li and Zhou Xing also got up.
When he saw Zhou Gu and his wife were already in the kitchen, he smiled knowingly. The relationship between newlyweds is always as sweet as honey.
Several people helped the bride prepare breakfast.
Wu Ya originally just wanted to make some porridge with the leftover rice from last night, heat up the leftover steamed buns, and heat up two leftover dishes, and then she could eat it.
Seeing that she made so little, Mrs. Li reminded her, "Our family is different from other families. We have to eat well for three meals a day. My brothers and sisters all have long meals. In addition to liquid breakfast, we also have to have dry breakfast, vegetables and meat. There can be few varieties, but the quantity must be sufficient. We also have to eat a full breakfast at our family."
Wu Ya was very surprised. At this moment, she fully realized how wealthy the Zhou family was. Even the richest family in their village, the one that raised the most ducks, also had three meals a day, but in the morning they usually had only half a salted duck egg and a plate of pickles.
Families like them only have breakfast during the busy farming season and usually only have two meals a day.
Not only do the Zhou family eat a lot, but they also have to have meat for breakfast!
Breakfast is placed on the table like a dream.
A pot of steamed buns, half a pot of fish porridge, leftover fried quail, chicken soup, braised duck, cold cucumber, stir-fried Yongcai, and a few pickled vegetables to go with the porridge. There was a whole table full of everything.
Everyone in the Zhou family has become accustomed to it; after all, this is how they eat every morning.
But Wu Ya was still surprised when she saw such a big table. It was too much, enough food for their family for several days.
Li smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, you are all grown-up boys. After eating, you still have to go to school and work. How can you have the energy if you don't eat enough? Okay, you should sit down and eat too."
Zhou Guo had a bowl of fish porridge in front of him, a steamed bun with a fried quail in it, and said to the old man beside him, "Master, this fried quail is really good. I didn't have time to eat it yesterday. Did you eat it?"
The old man nodded and said, "I ate eight of them. I'll buy some more next time."
Zhou Mai and the others nodded, "Well, we eat pork, chicken and duck all day, so we should try something different."
Zhou Gu sat down without taking a single bite to eat, and was busy picking up dishes for Wu Ya. "This fried quail is delicious, the duck is also delicious, and the flower mushrooms in the chicken soup are also delicious. We grew them ourselves, and I'll take you to see them later..."
Wu Ya subconsciously looked at the people at the table, and seeing that no one was looking at her, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough, eat by yourself too."
Zhou Gu said with a smile: "I won't eat. I'll wait until you finish eating before I eat."
"Pfft."
Several voices were heard at the dinner table. Afraid that the bride would lose face, she lowered her head and held it in, burying her face in the bowl and drinking porridge.
Zhou Guo glanced at them with a smile, especially Zhou Gu. She still found his puzzled expression funny. Her silly elder brother now knew how to care for others.
Wu Ya's face turned red and she lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Li glared at Zhou Mai and the others, "Eat your food, but eating can't stop your mouth."
As he said this, he couldn't help laughing.
Everyone couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.
Wu buried her head even lower. Zhou Gu touched his head, not understanding what was so funny about them.
He picked up another piece of chicken for Wu Ya and said, "Don't pay attention to them. They are just like that. You will get used to it after a while. Eat, eat quickly."
The people at the table were even funnier.
Zhou Guo also laughed.
After the meal was over and they cleaned up, Zhou Gu led Wu Ya to serve tea to Li and Xu. Wu Ya gave Li the shoes she had made. Li then took out the two boxes of gifts she and Xu had prepared and said with a smile, "This is what I give you. From now on, you are a member of our Zhou family, the eldest sister-in-law. If the younger brothers and sisters below are disobedient, you just have to teach them a lesson."
He picked up another one and said, "This one was given to you by your mother. Your mother is not in good health. She was shocked when she fled. She can't recognize people. You must be filial to her in the future."
Wu Ya nodded heavily and said seriously, "I understand, Second Aunt, I will take good care of mother."
Li smiled and nodded, then took out the third box, "This one is given to you by your uncle. You may not know that we have another uncle in the family. He is in the camp and has joined the army. He prepared this gift for you when he left last year. Take it."
Wu Ya said: "I know, Zhou Guo told me a long time ago that my uncle is amazing and powerful."
Everybody laughed.
Zhou Guo said, "Sister-in-law, open it and see what's inside. This is what Xiao Su and I picked out with my uncle. Do you like it?"
Wu Ya glanced at everyone and opened it as she was told.
When she saw what was inside, she was stunned and surprised, and her eyes were almost blinded.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Does it look good?"
Zhou Su asked expectantly: "Sister-in-law, do you like it?"
Wu Ya nodded after a while and said hesitantly, "Second Aunt, this, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Li smiled and said, "Silly child, this is a gift from your elders. How can you not accept it? Take it. And take a look at the other two boxes?"
Wu Ya opened the other two boxes as if in a dream. They were very real. One box contained jewelry and the other contained silver.
Li smiled and said, "I gave you this jewelry, and your mother gave you this money, so keep it."
Xu had received a lot of monthly salary over the years, and she had saved it for her but had no place to spend it, so she gave it all to Wu Ya.
This girl has nothing except a few quilts, and the family still needs some money. I believe she knew about this and agreed to use Xu's money to subsidize them.
The monthly salary for the past two years has amounted to forty or fifty taels.
Wu Ya held these heavy things in her hands as if she were holding a mountain of gold. She had never seen so much money before. Her family only asked for forty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and this was much more than forty taels of silver.
He looked at Zhou Gu as if asking for help.
Zhou Gu said with a smile: "Just take it if I give it to you. You can't give it back on this occasion. Just be more filial to them in the future."
Wu Ya nodded.
Then there is the old man.
The two men knelt down, kowtowed, offered tea, and called him "sir".
"Okay, okay." The old man smiled as he drank his tea and put away his shoes. Then he took out two red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to each of them. "I'm just a rough guy and I don't know how to buy things. I'll give you some silver. Go buy whatever you want."
Zhou Gu said happily: "Sir, I have one too?"
The old man smiled and said, "You are the groom. They didn't prepare one for you, so I will reluctantly prepare one for you."
Zhou Gu kowtowed twice more happily.
It made everyone laugh.
