Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

As soon as the rooster crowed, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan struggled to get up from the warm bed.

You can’t sleep in in the winter, how can you do anything?

Not surprisingly, when I opened the door, I saw a young man standing in the yard, who was extremely excited!

The adopted son is Jing Ping'an.

I am tying red flowers on the bicycle I borrowed from the village chief's house last night - the vehicle for picking up the bride.

"Ping An, the red flower is tied, hurry up and boil some hot water, I need it to kill the fish."

"Dad, you're up. I was just wondering whether I should wake you up!

I have already boiled the hot water.

I will go and prepare the materials for killing the fish for you."

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan couldn't help but laugh and curse under his breath.

"You little brat, look how happy you are, like a fool."

The knife fell, the scales were scraped off, and the belly was cut open...

With quick, accurate and ruthless movements, 20 fish were processed in a quarter of an hour.

Then he killed 10 chickens and 10 ducks in succession.

There were ten tables in total for the wedding banquet, with chicken, duck, fish, pork, and four main dishes, which was more than enough.

After hurriedly drinking a bowl of porridge, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan put two corn steamed buns in his pocket and ate as he walked. He went straight to You Xiangyang's house to get the four-plate tofu he had ordered.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear and cloudless. It is indeed a very auspicious day and a good time for getting married.

When we got home, the village women who were specially invited to help prepare the banquet were already busy.

After moving the tofu into the kitchen, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan hurried out of the yard and went to a neighbor's house to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, and made corresponding marks.

As soon as he finishes one thing, there is another one waiting for him to do.

Really, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to drink a sip of water.

The bride is welcomed, the dowry is brought in, the villagers give gifts, and the new bride arrives home.

Under the chairmanship of the village chief, the newlyweds swore an oath facing the statue of the Chairman, and the ceremony ended with the feast.

After going through all the procedures in an orderly manner, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was almost exhausted.

The food was served, and as everyone praised the meal, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan finally relaxed his breath.

After all, my step-son's marriage was not ruined.

Looking at my adopted son who was smiling happily, I suddenly felt an indescribable regret and bitterness in my heart.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was extremely sure that this was not his own emotion.

Watching the newlyweds toasting 'wine' (warm water) at each table, he could only feel envy and hatred!

Alas, how he wanted to return to the interstellar space immediately and hold his own wedding!

Heaven and Earth eat the biggest meal.

If you spend all your money in your pocket and don't eat it all at once, you will lose money.

So, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan decisively put aside his mixed emotions, warmly greeted Grandma Guo, the village head and his wife, and several respected elders in the village, and concentrated on eating the delicious food.

……

After eating and drinking, the lively wedding banquet ended.

The small courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.

It seemed as if the noise just now was just an imagination.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan stood up swiftly and gave each of the village women who came to help prepare the banquet ten fruit candies and six eggs.

With a smile on his face and politely escorting the person to the gate of the courtyard, he then turned back and resigned himself to cleaning up the 'battlefield'.

When I looked up, I saw Caihe, who was about to clean the table.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan immediately spoke up to his son:

"Ping An, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you take Cai He and go back to the house to rest."

"Dad, no need. I'm not tired. I can help you clean up and it will be faster." Guo Caihe replied with a smile.

“No, no, no, that won’t do, a newlywed bride can’t work for three days, that’s the rule.

My old Jing family doesn't have the bad habit of torturing daughters-in-law!"

Ji Chunyu was very satisfied with Jing Yuan's words, so she smiled and said, "Xiao He, listen to your father and go back to your room to catch up on some sleep.

It's just a small job, and with Jing Yuan, Ping An and I here, we can finish it in no time.

Go back and rest, be obedient!"

Jing Ping'an stepped forward, snatched the work from Cai He's hands, and whispered:

"Caihe, don't worry and take a rest. I'm here. I'll try to do more work and I won't tire dad and grandma out."

Seeing this, Guo Caihe stopped insisting, "Then Dad, Grandma, you guys go ahead and I'll go back and clean up the house."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan nodded in agreement while cleaning the table, "Okay, clean up your grandma's room as well. We'll all live here from now on."

"Okay, Dad! I'll go clean it up right away."

"Ping An, stop what you are doing. The water tank in the kitchen is empty. Go to the old well and fetch a few buckets of water to boil.

It's so cold, and I can't stand washing dishes with cold water."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

……

After washing and scrubbing and returning the tables, chairs, benches, dishes and chopsticks to each household, the sun was already setting.

After a simple dinner, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan went back to his room and lay down, and he began to snore.

I'm really tired!

It’s really not easy to be a cheap father!
