In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 207 Abundance

"This bride is indeed beautiful! No wonder the three Cheng brothers were willing to spend so much money!"

"The main thing is that the bright red wedding dress looks very beautiful."

"Yes! When I get married in the future, I want to wear a dress like this!"

"..."

Amidst the praise of the crowd, the three brides were escorted into Chen Cheng's house to carry out the final procedures of the wedding: bowing to heaven and earth, and paying respects to their parents, etc.

The villagers of Xiahe Village did not go in to watch the excitement, but instead looked at Chen Dao with questioning eyes.

Chen Dao naturally understood what everyone meant and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, the steamed buns will be here soon!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Xiahe Village were immediately relieved and took out one to three copper coins from their pockets, putting them into the money box in front of Chen Cheng's house.

Meanwhile, the women who were busy preparing food at Chen Cheng's house also came out one after another, carrying the food and placing it on the table.

Although it was a banquet, there was obviously no alcohol. Given Chen Cheng's current circumstances, it was impossible for him to provide alcohol for the villagers.

The food that Chen Cheng's family provided for their guests consisted of nothing more than a large amount of steamed buns and a big bowl of egg drop soup.

Even such simple food was enough to make the eyes of everyone in Xiahe Village light up, and many villagers were even swallowing their saliva frantically.

"The food is really good! They even have egg drop soup."

"I've forgotten how long it's been since I've eaten meat."

"Me too! These steamed buns look delicious!"

"..."

Just as the villagers of Xiahe Village were drooling, Li Ping, Ding Xiaohua, and some women who were preparing food for the villagers at Chen Dao's house came over carrying food buckets.

Because today is the wedding of the three Chen brothers, Chen Dao had already informed the villagers who were working in Chenjia Village that they would be having a meal at Chen Cheng's house. After preparing the meal, Li Ping and the others also brought the food here.

"Mom, Sister Ding."

Chen Dao greeted Li Ping, Ding Xiaohua, and the other women with a smile, then turned to the villagers of Xiahe Village and said, "The food is here! Come and get it, three steamed buns per person, don't take more than that."

As he spoke, Chen Dao lifted the cloth covering a rice bucket, and instantly, the unique aroma of steamed buns filled the air. The villagers of Xiahe Village sniffed frantically, as if trying to inhale the entire fragrance into their lungs.

"It smells so good!"

"Lunch is served! Lunch is served!"

"Go get your steamed buns!"

"..."

The villagers of Xiahe Village rushed to Chen Dao, their faces full of anticipation as they gazed at the food in the bucket, their eyes gleaming with longing.

Chen Dao didn't keep these people waiting long and quickly began distributing steamed buns to everyone.

Meanwhile, villagers from Chenjia Village, who were busy in the fields and on the construction site, also arrived one after another. Today was the wedding day of the three Chen brothers, a joyous occasion for the village. With Chen Dao's permission, the villagers were allowed to take some time out of their work to participate in this happy event.

To be honest, the feasts at Chen Cheng's house were nothing special to the villagers. After all, all Chen Cheng's family provided were steamed buns and egg drop soup. The villagers of Chenjia Village might not be tired of eating these things, but they could eat them every day.

However, when it comes to banquets, the most important thing is not what you eat, but the atmosphere!

The festive atmosphere outside Chen Cheng's house was enough to make the villagers happy. They weren't in a hurry to go to Chen Dao to get steamed buns, but stood aside with smiles on their faces watching the villagers of Xiahe Village receive their steamed buns.

Whenever they see villagers from Xiahe Village thanking Chen Dao profusely after receiving steamed buns, the villagers of Chenjia Village can't help but smile with pride.

It is said that happiness is based on comparison, so when the villagers of Xiahe Village carefully held the steamed buns, the villagers of Chenjia Village immediately felt a sense of pride and a stronger sense of belonging to Chenjia Village!

"Warm, so warm!"

Old Jiang from Xiahe Village held the three steamed buns as if they were precious treasures, feeling the warmth emanating from them, which warmed his heart. The aroma emanating from the buns made him involuntarily squint his eyes and look delighted.

The other villagers in Xiahe Village didn't perform much better than Lao Jiang. They didn't even dare to eat the steamed buns in big bites like the villagers in Chenjia Village. Instead, they tore off a small piece with their hands and chewed it slowly.

"These steamed buns are really delicious, soft and sweet."

"Yes, yes! This is the best food I've ever eaten, even better than white rice!"

"It's truly enviable that the villagers of Chenjia Village can enjoy such delicious food every day!"

"That's right! I've only ever eaten steamed buns once in my life, but the people in Chenjia Village can eat them every day!"

"..."

As they savored the sweet taste of the steamed buns in their mouths, the villagers of Xiahe Village became even more envious of Chenjia Village. They would be willing to die for such delicious food every day!

At Chen Cheng's home.

After the wedding ceremony with heaven and earth and the parents, the three brides were led to the pre-prepared bridal chamber. As for the three Chen brothers...

They can't go to the bridal chamber yet; they have to eat and drink with the guests first.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Liu Yan said cheerfully to Zhao Kang and the others, "The gifts are all done, let's go have a meal together!"

Zhao Kang and the others naturally wouldn't refuse.

So, the group left the house and went to Chen Cheng's front yard.

There were only three tables in the front yard, but the food on them was completely different from that on the tables outside. The tables outside only had steamed buns and egg drop soup, while the tables in the front yard had not only these two items, but also a plate of chicken, a plate of wild vegetables, and a large bowl of white rice on each table!

At this moment, Chen Cheng's three children, along with Chen Fei and Chen Tiedan, were already sitting at the table, staring at the meat on the table like hungry cats.

"You're eating so well?"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Kang's eyes as he glanced at the food on the table. The food on the table was better than he had expected. There were not only plenty of steamed buns and white rice as staple food, but also meat and wild vegetables...

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhao Kang, who has lived for decades, has rarely had the chance to eat such a sumptuous meal.

Not only Zhao Kang, but also Li Qiang, Li Mu, Li Qian, Wang Yuan and others looked surprised, astonished by the quality of the food on the table.

"If you marry your daughter into our village, we will naturally do our best to entertain you!"

Chen He said with a smile, "This was specially prepared for you by Dao Ge'er. Please sit down and eat!"

As he spoke, Chen He pulled Zhao Kang and the others to sit down. Soon after, Chen Dao, Li Ping, and Chen Da also came in one after another, and then the banquet began!
