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

Chapter 206 Extremely Satisfied

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei lowered their heads somewhat shyly, only glancing at Chen Cheng and Chen Shi standing in front of their parents out of the corner of their eyes, and were generally satisfied.

To be fair, Chen Cheng and Chen Shi were not bad-looking, but far from handsome.

However, because of the previous betrothal and silk gifts, the two women had already developed a good impression of them. Therefore, they couldn't help but feel that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and thought Chen Cheng and Chen Shi were good-looking no matter how they looked at them.

Chen Cheng and Chen Shi were extremely satisfied with their new brides. Although Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei had darker skin, their features were quite regular. They might not be stunning beauties, but they were at least pretty girls from modest families, which was enough to satisfy the two of them.

"This bride is very beautiful!"

Chen Dao suddenly smiled and said, "Cheng Ge'er and Shi Ge'er are really lucky to have married such beautiful new wives."

Upon hearing Chen Dao's words, Chen Cheng, Chen Shi, Zhao Xiaoyun, and Zhao Xiaomei all blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Everyone in the living room burst into laughter!

"That's right! Cheng-ge'er and Shi-ge'er are truly blessed to have married such wives!"

"I'm smitten with this bride!"

"Cheng-ge'er and Shi-ge'er have won the hearts of beauties; they're going to have a wonderful life from now on!"

"..."

Everyone echoed Chen Dao's words, sparing no praise, which made Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei even more embarrassed. They just looked down at their toes and didn't dare to look up at all.

Although they felt embarrassed, they were ultimately happy, after all...

No woman dislikes being complimented on her beauty, not even women like Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei, who came from rural backgrounds and had never had the energy to care about their appearance before.

"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment!"

Hearing everyone praise his daughter Zhao Kang, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "My daughter looks so beautiful today, all thanks to the silk that Cheng-ge brought!"

Zhao Kang's words only intensified the villagers' envy. Damn it, Zhao Kang really had incredible luck to find such a good son-in-law.

"father in law."

Remembering his mother's instructions before he came, Chen Cheng said, "We have prepared a feast at home. Please come over to our house for a casual meal, Father-in-law."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Li Qing smiled and agreed, and Zhao Kang nodded as well. These days, it's not common to feel at ease going to someone else's house for a meal, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.

But at this moment, Old Jiang suddenly asked, "Can the people from our Xiahe Village also come to your village to share in the joy?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Xiahe Village looked at Chen Cheng with anticipation in their eyes.

Sharing in the festive atmosphere isn't the point; the real goal is to go and freeload a meal!

Chen Cheng said that his family has already prepared a feast. If we can go and freeload, wouldn't that mean we can save a meal's worth of food?

"This……"

Chen Cheng was in a dilemma. The feast his family had prepared was only enough for a few dozen people from Chenjia Village. If the people from Xiahe Village were to come, he was afraid that... the food he had prepared would not be enough!

"can!"

Just as Chen Cheng was in a dilemma, Chen Dao spoke up: "People from Xiahe Village can also go, and each person can get three steamed buns to eat."

"Is it true?"

Old Jiang and the villagers of Xiahe Village stared intently at Chen Dao, their eyes gleaming with fervor, as if afraid he was joking.

"real."

Chen Dao nodded seriously: "Every villager from Xiahe Village who attends this wedding in our village will receive three steamed buns."

"Great!"

The crowd cheered, overjoyed. Although three steamed buns might not seem like much, many people in Xiahe Village had never even eaten a steamed bun before. Therefore, when they heard Chen Dao promise that each person would have three steamed buns, they were extremely excited.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's get going!"

"Shouldn't we prepare some money for this? Brother Dao has been so generous to us, we can't just eat and drink for free, can we?"

"Of course we have to give a gift! We should give each person one or two coins, at least to make a show of it!"

"Let's hurry up and set off to take the bride to Chenjia Village!"

"..."

At this moment, the people most eager to send the bride to Chenjia Village were not Chen Cheng, nor Chen Shi, nor Chen Mu, but rather the villagers of Xiahe Village.

Seeing the excited crowd, Chen Dao didn't waste any more words and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's set off then!"

"Great!"

So, a group of villagers from Xiahe Village escorted Chenjia Village and Zhao Kang's family out of Zhao Kang's house and headed towards Chenjia Village. After meeting up with Chen Mu's team at the edge of the farmland, the group crossed the farmland of the two villages and entered the territory of Chenjia Village.

"It's so lively!"

Looking at the happy crowd, Li Qiang, the village chief of Xiaohe Village, couldn't help but feel emotional. Since the cold disaster struck, Chenjia Village and Xiaohe Village hadn't been this lively for a long time.

"Yes!"

Walking beside Li Qiang, Wang Yuan also had a complex expression. At this moment, the smiles on the faces of everyone, whether from Chenjia Village or Xiahe Village, were genuine.

Wang Yuan hadn't seen such a smile in a long time.

"Brother-in-law."

Li Qiang glanced at Wang Yuan's clothes and said, "Are you satisfied with this marriage?"

"Of course I am satisfied!"

Wang Yuan laughed. He had been depressed for a long time because his daughter couldn't marry Chen Cheng, but now that depression had long since dissipated. Chen Cheng's family not only gave a huge dowry, but also gave him face during the wedding procession, allowing his daughter to get married in a grand manner. What could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

"I'm satisfied!"

Li Qiang nodded and followed the others to Chen Cheng's house.

But outside Chen Cheng's house, tables had been set up one after another, and many villagers from Chenjia Village were already sitting at the tables chatting.

Upon seeing the wedding procession return, the villagers all stood up to greet them.

"Cheng-ge'er is back? Where's the bride?" Chen Gou's father, Chen Sheng, asked with a smile.

"What about that?"

Chen Gou nodded his chin toward Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei and said, "Dad, don't you think this bride is beautiful?"

"It is indeed beautiful!"

Chen Sheng nodded. Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei were at the prime of their youth, and after putting on their bright red wedding dresses, their temperament became even more extraordinary, quite different from that of ordinary farm girls.

Besides Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei, another bride, Li Li, is also pretty. At only eighteen years old, her skin is fairer than Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei, and she is truly youthful and beautiful.
