A table full of chatter fell silent after a loud noise.

After a while, the conversation resumed, and they bombarded Shen's father: "Look at what you said! He is an uncle, why haven't you toasted him all this time?"

"You see, he's angry now, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, even the mother-in-law toasted him twice, but you still don't get it. Why didn't you toast him?"

Shen's father was completely bewildered by the bombardment. "He's an uncle, I didn't know!"

"What? How could you not know? Shen Jian said it when he started toasting!"

"We all know he's an uncle. How could you not know?"

"I...I...I...I forgot..."

Shen's father was in a panic. He had no idea what was going on, but he knew he had caused trouble. He had caused trouble at his own son's wedding, but he couldn't remember how he had caused trouble. He was completely being led around by his siblings...

Let's not mention the rich second generation or the house.

The conversation took a sudden turn, and they all criticized Shen's father for neglecting Uncle Man, which led to Uncle Man overturning the banquet.

My cousin sighed as we reviewed the situation: "That uncle is really cunning. He created a disturbance and then perfectly shifted the blame."

He's on a much higher level than my aunt from Wenzhou.

If Shen's father hadn't lost his temper at his son's wedding, would he have beaten them up on the spot?

Perhaps at that time, because it was his son's wedding, Shen's father had done his best to suppress his true nature. Otherwise, by instinct, he would probably have beaten Uncle Man first!

Uncle Man's mother tried to salvage the situation: "It's okay, young people get angry. Don't mind him. Let's continue, continue! Enjoy the food and drinks!"

What's the point of continuing? The dishes are ruined, except for the best-tasting sweet and sour pork!

I looked at Shen's father, who was equally confused, and suddenly realized what was going on. I hurriedly ran off and found Shen Jian, who was chatting with guests, and said, "It's over, it's a big deal! Your dad made Uncle Man so angry that he flipped the table! Hurry up and go see!"

Shen Jian was furious and ran over to scold his mother. He blamed her for not taking care of his father and for letting him drink so much. He was talking nonsense and made his mother cry.

His father had slipped away long ago.

Because of this incident, Man Man stood in the lobby of the hotel and called Shen Jian, who was nearly two meters tall, a "fool," and made him cry.

The couple who had just made a passionate vow at the wedding instantly got into a huge fight.

It was quite magical...

I quickly gave him some advice: "What's the use of scolding your aunt? It's not her fault. Your aunt has been exhausted for your wedding. Now quickly find an elder to comfort Uncle Man. It's not enough for just you two younger ones. It lacks sincerity."

After discussing it back and forth, they abandoned the idea of relying on uncles and decided that Shen Jian's uncle would be the most suitable person to go. He seemed to get along well with Uncle Man.

So Shen's uncle took on the responsibility and spent the whole afternoon in Uncle Man's room, finally calming him down.

That night, the two families put aside their past grievances and enjoyed a perfect dinner.

Of course, when I say "two families," it's a bit abstract because Shen's father and mother didn't dare to attend the dinner that night, afraid of saying something wrong. Shen's uncle hosted the finale.

Shen's father didn't show up until the bride's family returned to Hangzhou.

As usual, it was Shen's mother who came with her sisters to bid farewell to the bride's family, bringing many gifts, including two pieces of meat, two rolls of vermicelli, and so on, all wrapped in red paper, apparently with symbolic meanings that we didn't understand.

There were also two boxes of special products from Siping, apples and pears (not apples and pears, but a type of pear that people from Siping understand and isconsidered a delicacy).

Shen's mother, with a smile on her face, handed the gifts to the bride's family and said, "We hope that our children will have a sweet and happy life, just like the sweet and sour pork that was left untouched at the wedding banquet."

Everyone was stunned. The bride's family didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Shen Jian stood there dumbfounded.

Finally, the bride's father took the initiative to break the awkward silence and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie, for your kind wishes. We will cherish these gifts. Let's hope that our children will have a sweeter and happier life than sweet and sour pork."

The atmosphere finally eased up, and everyone bid farewell with laughter.

The wedding was over. Shen Jian and his wife returned to Hangzhou, and life gradually returned to normal.

Shen Jian's wife continued to work as a nurse, while Shen Jian, who had resigned from his job, stayed at home to take care of their newborn baby.

They were a happy little family.

And as for Shen's father, he continued to live his carefree life, gambling and drinking as he pleased.

But every time I saw Shen's father, I couldn't help but think of the chaotic wedding banquet, the overturned table, and the sweet and sour pork left untouched.

Life goes on, and sometimes, the most unforgettable memories come from the most unexpected places.
