Chapter 214: Engagement Dinner (6)

Gu Qingyao’s family had been good to her in her last life. Mo Beihan was well aware that whenever Yao Yao had anything good in this life, she would certainly give generously to her family. But whenever she brought out something, she must be able to explain where she got it from.

Now there were so many children in the Gu family, her Younger Aunt and her younger cousin. It was the middle of winter and Mo Beihan felt that giving cloth and cotton wool would meet their most urgent needs.

In any case, people in these times were not particular. Any nicer item could be used as a gift.

He had already restrained himself. But when he brought out all these things, everyone was shocked.

It was still early, and the other guests had not yet arrived. But even the Gu family was amazed when they saw these things.

Especially Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt, and her older cousins. Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle were similarly amazed.

“So... so much?”

When Third Aunt, Zhou Ping, saw all these nice things, she was at a loss.

In all her years, this was her first time seeing so many nice things. This was just an engagement. One must know that many people just gave two hundred kilograms of coarse grain in exchange for a bride.

Even a family in slightly better circumstances might just add a little fine grain.

This was the first time in her life that she witnessed the groom’s family give so many things. And it was just an engagement!

Although he had only given ten kilograms of rice, there was so much meat and vegetables...

Mo Beihan smiled. Yao Yao was his darling. Of course, he would ensure that he honored her amply.

“Third Aunt, these are for the banquet. There’s more outside for the brigade members. We’re just getting engaged, and not throwing a large banquet. We’ll just cook a little for the brigade to share our joy.”

There was more?

Zhou Ping was astounded, and she went to the yard to have a look. She saw Mo Beihan drag two huge fish out of his little hand cart. When she saw the two large fish, Zhou Ping was so shocked she could not speak.

These two fish were really gigantic, each weighing about ten kilograms. The fish were very long. When Mo Beihan held them up, the fish almost touched the ground.

Zhou Ping had never seen such large fish in her life.

Mo Beihan smiled and said, “These fish are to make fish soup. Just add tofu, mushrooms and things like that and make a big pot of soup. When the brigade members arrive, they can have some of it.”

Although it was just an engagement, and there was no formal banquet, the brigade members would certainly come over to enjoy themselves. Then they would invite the guests in to eat and these brigade members could not possibly just look on, especially not the children.

When they started to cook later, the fragrance would spread. Today’s weather was great and the children would definitely come.

Anyone else would just give them a couple of sweets and send them on their way.

But Mo Beihan was unwilling to do that. He wanted Gu Qingyao to have more prestige.

Although the Gu family’s background was not good, his family came from a good background. He himself had a respectable job, and was doing well in the Southern Lake Brigade. So it was excusable for him to be a little more ceremonious.

Zhou Ping’s eyes almost fell out of her head when she saw the two large fish. This... this was for the others?

There was almost thirty kilograms of flesh and it was for other people to eat?

Her Eldest Aunt, Fang Ling, was more composed. She hurriedly said, “Bring these inside first. As for the fish... leave them outside.”

The others would arrive later. Mo Beihan had brought so many things that others would certainly be envious. So they could not display all his gifts.

Fang Ling and Zhou Ping carried all the meat, vegetables and game that Mo Beihan had brought into the kitchen. They left the two large fish by the well outside.
