Chapter 642 Banquet
The opening process of the engagement banquet is actually very simple. First, the oldest elder is asked to come on stage and say a few words. When the elder is speaking, the engaged man and woman stand behind the elder as mascots for the guests to watch.
Well, it’s not a real mascot, it’s just an exaggerated description to make it easier for people who have never been engaged to understand.
Gong Yoo's grandfather and grandfather-in-law are still traveling and can't make it back, so the speaker for today's engagement party is Gu Chenxi's grandfather.
Old man Gu Zhenhua was worried that he would be nervous when going on stage, so he wrote a speech on red paper and went on stage.
Mr. Gu had seen all kinds of storms when he was young. Even for a prominent figure of the older generation like him, he would be nervous to attend the engagement banquet hosted by the Kong family. This shows how luxurious and solemn today's engagement banquet is.
Mr. Gu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After he came on stage, he delivered his opening remarks in a loud voice, with clear pronunciation, and in very standard Mandarin.
Afterwards, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi, led by their parents, toasted the guests to express their gratitude.
Gu Chenxi couldn't drink much and would easily make a fool of himself if he drank, so he drank tea instead of wine.
After the toast, there was no need for Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi to do anything else, because the adults had their own conversation.
Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi ran directly to their classmates' table, sat down to eat and chat, and discussed things related to their age.
Although Shen Xia had been very restrained, she still couldn't help but want to touch the gold jewelry on Gu Chenxi: "You have at least two kilograms of gold on you, right?"
"Two kilograms?" Gu Chenxi raised his hand and poked Shen Xia on the forehead. "It's more than that. It's at least five kilograms. I feel like these gold pig badges on my neck are like hanging several kilograms of real pork. My neck is sore."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Shen Xia was amazed, "As expected of Mr. Kong, he has a large family and a lot of wealth. Buying gold is easier for him than buying cabbage for ordinary people like us."
"Just stop it." Gong Liu said with a smile, "Miss Shen, you still call yourself an ordinary family?"
Shen Xia waved her hand and said, "Alas, compared to you two, my family just runs a shabby factory, how can it be the same?"
Yang Xueer said with envy: "I'm only a sophomore, and you're already engaged, and you're marrying for love. Your life is already more than halfway complete!"
Su Ya also nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Gu is like the heroine of a novel!"
Feng Ying immediately said, "She is more than just the heroine of a novel. Xiaoxi's love history is even more exciting than any other novel."
Liu Shiyu said: "The heroines in cool novels may not be as beautiful as my sister-in-law!"
Gu Chenxuan, who was chewing on a pig's trotter, also raised her hand and said, "My sister is the most, most beautiful beauty in the world!"
Gu Chenxi listened to the girls' praise and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Oh, please stop talking, I'm embarrassed, hahaha."
Zhou Xiaonan half-jokingly said: "If you feel embarrassed, you can give me your gold jewelry to wear. I will feel embarrassed. Hahaha."
Lin Zhi immediately agreed, "Give me some, I am willing to bear this pain for you."
"Hahaha." Gu Chenxi spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, you guys take it."
Zhou Xiaonan smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, you should wear it yourself. We can't afford the things that Mr. Kong gave you."
The girls were talking about jewelry, while the boys were discussing whether the lunch was delicious.
Du Hongyuan pointed at the Australian dragon and said, "This thing tastes too bland, not as good as crayfish."
Wang Qi nodded, picked up a king crab leg and said, "This leg is delicious with sauce, but it has no taste if eaten dry."
Gong Yoo pointed at the crab legs in Wang Qi's hand and said, "How about this, let's get a few king crab legs next time and grill them. Sprinkle them with cumin and chili, and the taste will definitely be better than this."
"Good idea!" Wang Qi nodded, half-jokingly mocking himself, "It seems that I am indeed a wild boar and cannot taste this kind of high-quality fine bran."
Xu Kun was chewing on a large prawn. When he heard the word "barbecue", he immediately raised his head and said, "Barbecue? There is no such thing as barbecue!"
Seeing Xu Kun's eyes shining, Gong Yoo said with a smile: "There is no barbecue, eat your shrimps."
"Oh~"
Bai Xuezhou ate a piece of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root and found it a bit too sweet, so he poured himself a cup of tea in front of him.
After drinking the tea, Bai Xuezhou said calmly: "Well, this pre-rain Longjing tea is great~"
Du Hongyuan turned his head and looked at Bai Xuezhou, and asked, "Oh, you also know about tea?"
"Yeah." Bai Xuezhou nodded.
Before he could explain, Feng Ying said, "Hangzhou, our hometown, is the origin of Longjing tea. His mother's family used to be tea farmers who made a living by picking tea leaves. He has been exposed to tea since he was a child."
"Yeah." Bai Xuezhou smiled and nodded again, indicating that Feng Ying was right.
Wang Qi grinned and said, "Senior sister, you really understand Senior Bai."
"Who wants to know him?" Feng Ying curled her lips and turned to continue chatting with the girls.
Wang Qi thought that something he said had inadvertently upset Feng Ying. Just as he was about to raise his hand to pat Feng Ying on the shoulder to ask her something, Bai Xuezhou held his hand down.
Bai Xuezhou smiled and said, "She's not mad at you."
"oh oh."
Wang Qi didn't quite understand the subtle relationship between the two, so he just pretended nothing had happened.
Sun Yu looked at the eight-treasure duck on the table, gently pushed Liu Shiyu, and whispered, "Try it for me to see if it tastes good."
Liu Shiyu rolled her eyes at him unhappily and ignored him at all.
"Tsk~" Seeing that Liu Shiyu couldn't stop him, Sun Yu could only taste it himself. Before he stretched out his chopsticks, he whispered, "You have such a bad temper, you deserve to have no men chasing you, hiss——"
Sun Yu felt a chill in his waist and immediately begged for mercy, saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Chen Zhirui stared at the rosy, shiny and crystal clear braised pork, but he didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks - with just one bite, the calorie intake would exceed the limit.
He told himself that he was still losing weight and must not be tempted by such high-calorie food.
Zhou Xiaonan, who was chatting, glanced at Chen Zhirui's pitiful look and found it a bit funny, so he picked up a small piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
Chen Zhirui raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaonan in surprise.
Zhou Xiaonan pointed at the braised pork and said in a tough manner: "Eat it. One piece won't make you fat to death!"
"but……"
"No buts, hurry up and eat!" Zhou Xiaonan said, picking up the chopsticks again, "Do you still want me to feed you?"
"I, I'll do it myself."
Chen Zhirui picked up the small piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The sweet fat of the braised pork and the tender lean meat meet in the mouth, creating a carnival for the taste buds. For a meat lover, it is simply an incomparable wonderful enjoyment.
Chen Zhirui felt in a good mood, not only because he ate the braised pork, but more importantly, the piece of meat was picked up for him by Zhou Xiaonan.
Somehow, a warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
As a courtesy, he also picked up a piece of beef ribs dipped in chili for Zhou Xiaonan.
When Zhou Xiaonan saw it, he picked it up and ate it.
They are like two somewhat introverted people in love, their love is expressed in actions without words.
Zhou Xiaonan's introversion depends on whether she has friends around her. If she has other friends around her, she will be more cheerful. If she is alone with Chen Zhirui, her introverted nature will be revealed. She is an introvert who is introverted depending on the situation.
Chen Zhirui is different. He is introverted at all times, and especially introverted when facing Zhou Xiaonan.
It's really a miracle that they can be together.
