Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: It’s Fine as Long as You’re Not Here to Give Me Trouble
He gestured to the delivery man as they began to untie the ropes, preparing to move the refrigerator downstairs.
Someone whispered, “Wensheng’s cousins really treat him well.”
A person who was just inside the house whispered back, “You didn’t see it earlier, but Wensheng’s uncle also prepared satin quilts, pure wool blankets, and bedding. It’s really envy-inducing.”
“They must have come here specially to give Wensheng face, to support him.”
“But they must have the means to do so. All this costs real money. If they weren’t sincere, who would part with so much cash?”
“True. Just the refrigerator alone must have cost six or seven hundred yuan. Without some financial power and real sincerity, who would spend so much?”
“With relatives as genuinely supportive as these, Wensheng’s married life is sure to be prosperous and successful.”
After unloading the refrigerator from the truck and bringing it inside, Luo Xuyuan had the delivery men disassemble the box and installed the refrigerator in a suitable spot.
Since there was no electrical outlet where the refrigerator was placed, Qin Haifeng, who had just entered, turned around to go out and buy some cable and a power strip. Once he finished fussing with the wiring, a stream of neighbors came to take a look.
Zeng Baoliang, bringing his children along, just couldn’t find the opportunity to bring up the matter he wanted to discuss.
In the morning, the caterer came to prepare for purchasing ingredients, but Wensheng said that his uncle had it arranged and they would be delivered later. They just needed to buy some condiments, invoking even more envy, jealousy, and resentment from everyone.
Luo Wenxiu, holding her son, came over, “Kevin, this is your grandpa and grandma.”
Zhou Guifang reached out to hold the child, but the little one turned his head and clung tightly to his mother, refusing to be coaxed into turning back.
Everyone laughed, and Luo Wenxiu patted her son, “What’s the matter, is our Kevin feeling shy?”
After everyone had greeted each other and was about to sit down for a chat, the sound of a car arriving at the gate could be heard.
Someone outside shouted, “Wensheng, the vegetables are here!”
Luo Qiao said to her grandparents, “Grandpa, grandma, you don’t need to go out. Stay here and chat with your niece, we’ll go see.”
When they arrived at the gate, the person leading the delivery team turned out to be the branch manager, “President Luo, good day. Here are the ingredients prepared according to the list you provided.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Thank you for the trouble, have them carry everything to the courtyard.”
The neighbors, who were also watching, helped with the carrying. That’s when the caterer in charge of the banquet came over and said, “Something’s not right, aren’t these vegetables more than the quantity we wrote down?”
Luo Qiao, who had overheard this, said, “Hello, I had them add some extra to the amount you determined. It makes your job easier, doesn’t it?”
The caterer smiled upon hearing this, “I like the sound of that. We indeed want to use the least ingredients to make the best banquet, and now we have so much more than we initially ordered, we’ll definitely make this wedding banquet splendid.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “You’ve worked hard.”
The caterer thought to himself, he had heard that Wensheng’s relatives in Capital City were incredibly generous. It would be nice to form a good connection.
Nearby, Luo Xuyuan took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed them to the caterer, “Please take extra care for tomorrow’s wedding banquet.”
The caterer’s face blossomed into a smile as he took the cigarettes, “You’re too kind. Rest assured, I will definitely do a good job.”
At noon, two sisters from the neighbors helped make lunch, and Luo Daoren, who was there to assist, had also been asked to stay for the meal, which included hand-pulled noodles.
In the afternoon, the neighbors came over to help pick vegetables. Seeing the chefs processing meat, someone whispered, “Wensheng’s uncle is really generous. Look at that meat. It’s more than what some families buy for two wedding banquets.”
“Yeah, they must want to provide more support for Wensheng now that he’s lost his parents. It’s a lifetime event; they want it to be as joyous as possible.”
“That’s much better than the Zeng Family. Wensheng’s uncle came with his children this morning and didn’t offer to help out after eating. They just went back inside to sit.”
“Well, as long as they don’t come to cause trouble for Wensheng, it’s fine.”
“Don’t worry. With the Luo Family from Capital City here, the Zeng Family won’t be able to cause any ripples.”
Inside the house, after lunch, Zeng Baoliang called Wensheng over and hesitated for a while before saying, “Wensheng, your uncle came today because there’s a favor I need to ask of you.”
