You're urging me to get married just for the sake of a feast?

But Yang Yan was also afraid that Chen Yuan would refuse.

After all, he used to work in a big city. What's the big deal about going back to the countryside to hold a big feast?

This time he came back just to repair the graves of his parents. After finishing the work, he has to go back to the big city, right?

But Chen Ping patted his chest and promised, "Yuanzi and I are friends. He will definitely be willing to help with the feast when I get married. I will go and tell him then. You don't have to worry about this."

"You have to discuss the marriage with your parents. After all, this is a big deal. It's impossible for the two of us to have the final say."

"Of course, I'll go and tell them now."

Seeing that his wife agreed, Chen Ping rubbed his hands with joy and immediately went to discuss the matter with his parents.

…

“Ping’er, Dad definitely supports you to hold a wedding ceremony. The betrothal gifts have been prepared long ago. Our family cannot treat Yan Zi’s family unfairly.”

“Mom also agrees. Yan Zi has given our Chen family two male children. We must not be less polite.”

“Then it’s settled. Your mom and I will go to the village elders to calculate the date.”

“Okay, it’s better to ask if there are any good days this month. While Yuan Zi is at home, he is such a good cook. Let him come to help cook. We will also have face when we set up the banquet.”

“Oh, your mom and I think so too. You don’t know that your mom ate the dishes cooked by Chen Yuan today and was still talking about it when she got home.”

In fact, the old couple have been obsessed with those dishes since they came back from the banquet. Uncle Chen Yuan sat with the drinkers and ate some dishes, while Auntie sat at a table with some aunts in the village. Wow, they all relied on their hand speed to grab the dishes and didn’t get a few bites to eat.

Now their son proposed to hold a wedding banquet, which was just what they wanted.

They had planned this originally. Chen Ping was the only son in their family. They didn't have any wedding banquets. Even when their two grandsons were born, they had to set up two or three tables.

They had spent so much money on favors, so they had to get some back.

The uncle and aunt took the birth dates of their son and daughter-in-law and went to the old people in the village to calculate the date happily.

Chen Ping took the money and cigarettes given by the village chief to find his cousin Chen Yuan.

He came downstairs to Chen Yuan and shouted desperately, but no one responded.

"It seems that Yuanzi is really tired. I'm afraid he slept too deeply. Send him a WeChat message first and let him come to my house to find me when he wakes up."

Chen Ping was too lazy to shout. He took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to his cousin, and went back with his things.

Chen Yuan didn't know that his cousin wanted him to be the chef. At this time, he was having a tryst with Miss Zhou.

The countryside is different. The air is fresh, and there are no noises or car horns like in the city.

Chen Yuan hasn't had such a good sleep for a long time. He slept from the afternoon to the next morning.

The next morning.

Chen Yuan woke up from a deep sleep. He habitually checked his phone. It was already past seven o'clock the next day.

Oh... I can really sleep.

It's still nice to be back in the countryside. I can sleep as long as I want.

I felt a little confused when I went back to my hometown before. Now I have been bound to the profession of village banquet chef by the system, and I don't have to worry about my livelihood!

Hmm? The WeChat my cousin sent me?

Chen Yuan clicked it and put the phone to his ear.

Hearing that my cousin asked me to go to his house when I woke up, he didn't hesitate. He quickly washed up, changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

The village was full of hazy fog, beautiful and magnificent, almost like a fairyland on earth.

I couldn't help but want to recite a poem.

Oh my god, it's so beautiful!

"Uncle, aunt~~"

Chen Yuan saw Chen Jianjun and his wife and shouted.

"I was thinking of asking you to come to my house for dinner last night, but I didn't expect you to sleep so deeply."

"Have you had breakfast? Your sister-in-law cooked porridge at home."

People in the countryside get up early. Now that the weather is hot, they go to the fields to finish all the work before the sun comes out.

Chen Jianjun and Hao Hongmei, the old couple, just came back from the fields. When they saw their nephew coming, they greeted him warmly.

If they hadn't heard their nephew snoring loudly before, they would have thought that he had an accident.

"How sorry."

Chen Yuan smiled embarrassedly.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We are not outsiders. Just treat your uncle's home as your own from now on."

"Yuanzi, did you hear what your aunt said? I am your uncle, and you are also the blood of our Chen family. We are all family. There is no need for us to be so polite."

"Okay, I see, uncle and aunt, thank you."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? We are all family."

After hearing what his uncle and aunt said, Chen Yuan feltSuddenly, he felt warm.

Although his parents were gone, the care of relatives and friends was his motivation to stay in the countryside.

Chen Ping's wife got up early in the morning and cooked a big pot of white porridge. The bland porridge was paired with sour, fragrant and crispy sour beans, which was appetizing and delicious.

The porridge was carefully boiled with this year's new rice over a low fire. The crystal clear and round rice grains burst into flowers, the rice soup was sticky, soft and sweet, and a thin layer of porridge formed on the surface of the porridge. A gentle blow would cause ripples.

The raw materials of sour beans were picked from fresh cowpeas in the farmer's vegetable garden. After blanching and drying, they were mixed with salt, sugar, garlic slices, millet peppers, etc., and then put into a large clay vat.

After being soaked for a long time, the sour beans absorbed the taste of the water. When you eat it, it is sour, spicy, salty and fragrant, and full of juice.

Chen Yuan hadn't eaten such authentic homemade rural side dishes for a long time. They were very delicious. He ate two large bowls of porridge in succession. He was full and full of happiness.

"Yuanzi, do you want more? You are still growing now, it doesn't matter if you eat more." Chen Ping said with a smile.

"Brother, have you ever seen a 24-year-old still grow?"

"Why not? If you can't grow vertically, you can grow horizontally."

"... You are awesome. I came here today to ask my uncle about repairing the tomb for my parents."

There are many taboos in repairing the tomb for parents. Chen Yuan really doesn't know. He has to ask the older generation for advice. This really can't be done carelessly.

Uncle Chen Jianjun called his nephew back to discuss repairing the tomb for his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Chen Jianjun explained to his nephew some things to pay attention to when repairing the tomb, and also determined the time to start the construction, which is the anniversary of Chen Yuan's parents' death. At that time, Chen Jianjun will come forward to find professionals to help repair it.

"Chen Yuan, if you don't have enough money, your uncle will pay for it first."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he was moved again and even said that he had money.

After these years of drifting in Guangdong, he also saved some money. How could he let others pay for the money to build a tombstone for his parents!

Afterwards, they talked about his cousin Chen Ping's wedding.

Chen Yuan immediately expressed his opinion.

"I have no problem. I plan to develop in the countryside now. I feel that it is also good to cook big banquets in the countryside. I am free and easy. I can do it when I want to. If I don't want to do it, I can go home and lie down."

The system is now bound to the profession of village banquet chef. If he does not cook big banquets in the countryside and cannot receive the tasks triggered by the system, it means that he will not get the rewards of the system.

Besides, he feels that it is also good to return to the countryside. He does not have to pay the mortgage, property fees, and parking fees. He eats pure natural green vegetables and breathes natural oxygen.
