The neighbors tossed and turned in bed, cursing, but as simple as they were, they never imagined that this was just the beginning.
When the moon reached the zenith, the residents of the entire building turned over in a daze, avoiding the pillows that were wet with saliva from the corners of their mouths. Their dreams were filled with trembling, round, tea-leafed eggs that they could not pick up no matter how hard they tried.
At this moment, the Zhu family, who were still awake, had their lights on, and the living room was filled with people milling around: "Not done yet?"
“Is it time to eat?”
"That's right, the eggs were cooked before they were put in, so they must be edible..."
Only Zhu Xin, who had eaten and drunk enough, was still somewhat sober: "But didn't you say before that I can't eat or drink water at night, otherwise I won't look good when I put on makeup tomorrow."
After all, no matter how delicious the tea eggs are, they will be choking if not paired with a few sips of water! But if you drink too much water late at night, your face will be swollen tomorrow morning, right
Everyone was silent.
Finally, the bride squeezed into the kitchen first: "I'm not afraid. I've been in love for four years. He has seen people with allergies swell up like pigs. What's so bad about edema?"
The words were sonorous and the tone was firm. Zhu Xin dared to swear that even his cousin might not be able to take such an attitude when she took the wedding oath tomorrow.
Following closely behind the bride were several bridesmaids and close friends.
Their reasons are more direct: "It's not my wedding tomorrow. If the bride isn't afraid, why should I be afraid?"
My aunt, who only cooked a pot of eggs to fill everyone's stomach tomorrow morning:
She had no choice but to squeeze in despite her craving: "Then I'll cook two... three more pots!"
When everyone finished eating the freshly cooked eggs, the bridesmaid suddenly became thoughtful:
"Don't even mention it. If I come to ask for red envelopes tomorrow morning with tea and eggs, I might actually empty their wallets!"
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately became enthusiastic. Some even pushed Zhu Lan and said with a sly smile:
"Come on, bride, I'll give you one last chance to remind them: Tomorrow morning either come with a full stomach or give them a few more red envelopes."
Meanwhile, in the bridal chamber, the groom, who had just decorated the room, turned on his phone, his face revealing the sour smell of love again: "My wife sent me a message, asking us to eat more tomorrow hehehe..."
So thoughtful!
As for the things like giving more red envelopes... Oh, do I need to remind them of this? Those who will be blocking the door tomorrow are the bride's close friends and relatives. Those small red envelopes are just for fun, so of course there will be a lot of them!
However, the groomsmen were so tired from helping out today that they cursed him as a despicable person after hearing this: "I work for you and you feed me dog food..."
"That's right! Besides, the auspicious time is set early tomorrow, so we probably won't have much time to eat breakfast, so we can just have a quick bite..."
…
Because of the incident that happened in the evening, the bride was awakened by the alarm clock after only two hours of sleep. When she opened the door, she saw the makeup artist sitting on a stool peeling tea eggs. He seemed a little embarrassed to see her come out.
Zhu Lan: …
In that case, she might as well eat two first.
My aunt, who had not slept all night, looked at the rapidly decreasing number of tea eggs in the pot and was very glad that she had cooked more yesterday.
As for Zhu Xin, he was happily handing Houttuynia cordata cooling tea to his aunt: "Come on, it's hot today and there are many people at home, so make some more herbal tea."
He started to chatter again: "Aunt, smell how fragrant this egg is! I bought it with great difficulty. The sauce package alone cost twenty yuan! And this cooling tea, don't underestimate it, you will know when you cook it. It is not inferior to the tea eggs..."
Aunt: … I will remember this child Aiyou!
She picked up the kettle decisively: "I'll go boil some water."
…
After all the hustle and bustle and joy, the auspicious time finally arrived. People in the house leaned out of the window and saw a handsome young man with broad shoulders, long legs and a straight body getting off the car. They quickly shouted, "Here he comes!"
In an instant, the bride's door closed, and Zhu Xin held a bowl of peeled tea eggs, smiling with great anticipation.
To be honest, the groom Xu Wen has put in all his preparations for this wedding!
No, when he went upstairs, he also told the groomsmen:
"I've given you guys a big red envelope, so you can sing when you're asked to, and do push-ups when you're asked to. Don't let us down!"
"Don't worry!" The groomsmen were both good at literature and martial arts, and they were even more confident when they heard this: "It will definitely not be difficult for us! We will try to open the door for you as quickly as possible!"
The groom was a little reserved: "No need to be so fast. The rules here are to follow the time..."
The elevator door opened.
Everyone paused, then sniffed. But looking at the already opened security door, a few people pressed their stomachs inconspicuously, and forced themselves to hold back the words "It smells so good".
I only slept for more than three hours last night and got up in a hurry. I didn’t even have time to eat breakfast. Now…
What a bad idea! I should have eaten more!
When they finally stood happily in front of the bride's door, Xu Wen almost drooled...
This room smells so good!
The overbearing aroma of the tea eggs even covered up all the flavors, so much so that he almost didn't have the strength to shout.
But in the end, he still said loudly:
"Xu Wen family, wife, wife, Lan Lan, I'm here to pick you up!"
Behind him, several groomsmen also raised their voices: "Bride, open the door quickly! The groom is here to pick you up!"
As expected, someone in the room answered: "It's easy to open the door. Come on, show your sincerity first..."
So, it was just as I guessed before, singing, push-ups, question-answering... After all the steps were completed, Zhu Xin finally came over with a big bowl:
"Brother-in-law, my sister said that the ones who came to accompany her today are all good sisters. If you are sincere, you have to give them more red envelopes!"
That’s easy!
Xu Wen waved his hand, and the best man quickly took out red envelopes and stuffed them into the crack of the door one by one, while desperately urging the door to be opened.
However, Zhu Xin spoke again:
"We are all going to be a family soon. It's so simple to stuff the red envelope. Isn't this just transferring the bride's money from one hand to the other? There is no sense of ceremony... Come on, the last test is here. The bride feels sorry that you didn't have a good breakfast, and also wants to save some money for the groom, so she specially set up the simplest item - eating tea eggs!"
Xu Wen subconsciously touched his stomach and asked carefully, "How many do you want to eat?"
You can't have one bowl per person? That's a bit...
Zhu Xin smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "That's not necessary - just one bite, one bite per person. As long as everyone only eats one bite and doesn't eat more, then we'll open the door right away!"
"If you eat more, you'll get another red envelope for every bite you eat. How's that? Easy, right?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief—that was so easy!
After all, the bride is really considerate, hahaha!
So the best man at the side picked up the tea egg in the bowl and said with a smile: "Take a bite and watch carefully!"
He bit down.
