Body:
Continuing from the above, we said that after Wang Xiuqin informed her father Wang Yongnian of the wedding date, Wang Yongnian began to arrange the banquet.
In order to make up for Wang Xiuqin, Wang Yongnian is determined to let his daughter marry in style, no matter what, he will make Wang Xiuqin's wedding more decent.
Therefore, on the eve of the wedding, Wang Yongnian's family mobilization began.
Wang Xiuqin not only enjoyed a good life for half a month with peace of mind, but Wang Yongnian also bought her a lot of dowry.
Due to the urgency of time, although these dowries cannot leave on the wedding day with Wang Xiuqin for the time being.
But as long as it's ordered! It's the same to wait for Wang Xiuqin to get married and come back to get it.
……。
On the seventh day of August, the weather was fine.
Early in the morning, many people in Yutan Village rushed to Wang Yongnian's house one after another.
There is a happy event in the village, and the people in the village are going to help.
Whether it's washing, scrubbing, chopping and stir-frying, you all need someone to help.
Wang Yongnian's family used to have a buffalo, and he ploughed the land for other people in the village all the year round.
Therefore, Wang Yongnian still has a lot of face in the village, and after he informed him that he was about to marry his daughter, many people in the village said that they would come over to help.
If it weren't for Cai Lanying's inadvertent fall some time ago and the cost of a lot of money, the Wang family would not have been so embarrassed, and even sold Wang Yongnian's tools for eating.
Of course, things have happened, and Wang Yongnian didn't blame Cai Lanying for dragging down the family, he believed that if it was him, Cai Lanying would do the same.
At half past eight in the morning, the small courtyard of Wang Xiuqin's house was full of neighbors who came to help.
These neighbors are not only here to help, but also guests to eat, Wang Yongnian can't entertain so many people by himself, they naturally come here so early to help do things.
In the morning, the steward had not yet come.
These people in the village met and discussed with each other.
The object of discussion is naturally our protagonist Wang Xiuqin!
By now, the big guy already knows why Wang Xiuqin married to Liangshangzi Village.
Although the Wang family did not say it explicitly, combined with the situation of Wang Yongnian's family during this time, everyone understood what was going on.
However, the big guys only discussed it in private, and they didn't say it in front of the people of the Wang family, as long as the people of the Wang family passed by, they would keep silent.
After all, this is not a glorious thing, just discuss it in private! There's no need to break the casserole and ask in the end.
The big guys tacitly agreed not to say or ask, just help with things and drink and eat.
This is the custom of Wang Yongnian's family.
If the groom's main wine is the eighth day of August, then the bride's house is the seventh day of August, and the bride's family needs to hold a banquet one day in advance.
After 12 o'clock in the morning tonight, the bride needs to go to the groom's house!
Although Wang Yongnian was in debt, after Wang Xiuqin's grandfather heard that his granddaughter was going to get married, he specially drove his family's big fat pig over and used it for wine.
Wang Yongnian originally wanted to buy one, but now he saves money!
At 8:40, the chief of the village hurried over.
He drank two taels more last night.
I overslept today.
"Elderly, I drank two more sips of wine last night, and some overslept!"
"I'm not late, am I?"
A middle-aged man trotted to Wang Yongnian's side and said apologetically.
Wang Yongnian smiled when he heard this.
He said, "It's not too late, it's still early!" ”
"But Lao Xu, I have to ask you to preside over the overall situation today, whether it is division of labor or others, it is up to you to arrange."
A few days ago, Wang Yongnian went to Lao Xu's house with gifts, just to let him preside over the overall situation, he couldn't be busy alone, what was needed at the banquet, and who was arranged to do it, these had to be done by someone who would take care of things.
Lao Xu has a lot of prestige in Yutan Village, so everyone who holds a banquet will invite him, and Wang Yongnian's family is no exception.
Lao Xu smiled and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it immediately."
With Lao Xu's main business, the scene quickly went a lot smoother, who received gifts, who received, who did chores and who did things in the kitchen, who washed pots and chopsticks, who served food, who cleaned up the table, and who cleaned up.
Lao Xu has arranged it properly.
……。
Eleven o'clock at noon.
The big guys have all found what they need to do one after another, and they are all starting to get busy.
The guests from outside also arrived one after another.
At the gift book, relatives and friends of the Wang family lined up to give gifts.
Some of these people send noodles and flour, some send white sugar and brown sugar, and in addition, there are also eggs and duck eggs.
Quantity!
It all depends on the mind.
If the ability is limited, send a little less, and within the ability, you can also send more, and there is no fixed standard.
Although there are also people who give money, they only account for a small half, and these people don't give many gifts, that is, two pieces of a piece, and some people who have a better relationship will give five or ten yuan.
No matter how high it is, there will be none!
Actually, it's not that the big guys don't send it, but the conditions don't allow it.
If you can send more than five dollars, that's a big deal!
In the case of a monthly income of only a few dozen yuan, who has such a great ability to send dozens or hundreds?
Not to mention, there are many people who don't have the income of these dozens of yuan, and the family's financial resources depend on the little crops in the field.
Those who can afford to give five or ten yuan are all family members who work in the county or city, and the conditions at home are much better than others.
However, at this time, there were not many young people who went out to work in Yutan Village, and there were only a few families in the whole village, and only a few families had just gone out.
However, in the next few years, it will become popular to go to the city to work, and the young people in the village will go out one after another in order to change the conditions of their families.
Of course, these are all later words, and we will not show them for the time being.
Straight to the point.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet officially began.
Wang Yongnian invited people from the village to help on the first day, and all kinds of dishes were prepared a day in advance, and this morning he only needed to prepare some stir-fried dishes that could not be left overnight.
Wang Yongnian's yard is small and can't accommodate too many people.
Therefore, the temporary kitchen and banquet were chosen as the vegetable patch in front of Wang Yongnian's house.
The vegetables in the vegetable field have been harvested! There are now seven or eight tables set up, and the tables are full of guests waiting to eat.
Lao Xu, who was in charge, saw that the time was almost there, so he shouted to the kitchen: "Lao Chen, the time is almost up, it's time to serve the food!" ”
Lao Chen is the chef invited by Wang Yongnian, and he is also from Yutan Village.
As long as there is any happy event in the village, he will be invited to preside over the back kitchen, Lao Chen Wenyan nodded and said, "It's all ready!" You can start at any time."
After that, Lao Chen turned his head to look at the others in the makeshift kitchen, and shouted loudly: "Everyone let's do the cooking!" Serve the dish ......".
As soon as Lao Chen's words fell, the kitchen suddenly began to get busy.
The guests who came to the banquet couldn't wait!
After hearing the steward say that the food could be served, they all stared at the kitchen, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from afar.
There are many people here who have been waiting for this meal for a long time, and in order to be able to eat more, many people have not even eaten in the morning, they are all waiting to come to Wang Yongnian's house for dinner!
Friends, please don't laugh when you read this, and don't think it's a shameful thing.
In the nineties, although the development of the coastal areas was already quite good, the remote mountainous areas basically did not change much.
Most people can't eat meat a few times a year at home, and even in a place like Yutan Village, where rice fields can be eaten, it is impossible to have big white rice to eat every day.
Craving meat?
Except for the time when the rice is ripe, you can occasionally eat some fish, and other times you basically have to wait until the New Year's festival to eat, most of the time it is corn paste with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and there is nothing else!
The material conditions are like this, even if you want to eat well, you can't keep up, you can only eat a little simpler, and the better ones are left for the New Year's holidays.
Of course, every family in the countryside is fed chickens and ducks, and there will also be eggs, but these things are to be exchanged for money to buy oil and salt, and the children at home are not just eating if you want to.
Now, the conditions are better, the material is abundant, and the life is much better than in the past.
There are children at home may find that today's children are really picky about eating, so they don't eat that, and they don't eat like that, and they dislike boiled eggs in front of them.
I still remember one time when I ate the eggs at home, and my stomach hurt very much not long after eating them, and my mother said, "If no one in the family eats it, you will be greedy, and now you are poisoned, right?"
Will you dare to eat it in the future?
At that time, I was young and didn't understand this, so I really thought it was a stomachache caused by eating eggs.
After that, I never ate eggs again, and I didn't dare to eat them.
When I grew up, I happened to hear from a doctor friend that there was a child in her outpatient clinic, and it was said that her stomach hurt when she ate eggs, and her parents were working outside, and this child was a left-behind child, and her grandparents sent her for examination.
My friend said at a glance that this child is malnourished, and it is rare to eat well, her body is too weak, and it is difficult to absorb even an egg, and it is because of this that her stomach hurts.
After I heard her say this, it suddenly dawned on me, and I hurriedly told her what happened when I was a child.
She laughed and said that my mother lied to me, what should I not eat.
It's just that I didn't eat anything good at that time, and I couldn't absorb the nutrients after stealing eggs, so I had that reaction.
When I heard this, I was filled with emotion.
Back then, I had a really hard time!
Fortunately, life is better now!
Hehe, I was moved to talk about it, and I said so much nonsense at once, let's get down to business.
Adults are still reserved, but children can't take care of so much!
A plate of big meat came up, picked up the chopsticks one by one, and after clamping the big meat, he slammed it into his mouth, and the feeling of his mouth full of oil made these children eat one by one with a smile on their faces.
Today's children don't like to eat fatty meat, and at that time, these children in Yutan Village wished they had fatty meat to eat every day.
Only by eating meat in large gulps can there be this satisfaction of eating meat.
A plate of big meat, one by one and one by me, was quickly sandwiched clean.
Maybe it's been a long time since I've eaten such a greasy dish, and each plate of dishes on the table doesn't last more than five seconds, and as long as it comes up, it will all be swept away.
Just when everyone was enjoying eating, Wang Yongnian walked to the middle of the table with a glass of wedding wine, and he raised his glass to salute everyone.
He said: "Relatives and friends, all guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the happy event of the little girl, my Wang Yongnian has no culture, and I won't say anything, everyone must eat and drink ......well when they come to my house today."
"I, Wang Yongnian, am here to thank all of you, and thank all the relatives and friends who came to help."
Wang Yongnian said that, and drank the wine glass in his hand.
There were so many guests that he couldn't toast them all.
can only take this way to respect everyone, if you really want to respect one by one, then he can't finish respecting when he is drunk.
Wang Yongnian's house has a flowing water seat, and after eating at the previous table, the next table can be picked up immediately.
The big guys just ate and drank and chatted with each other.
When he talks about happy places, he even laughs.
After eating, the adults were drinking and chatting, and the children were picking up firecrackers on the ground.
A few naughty children even clamored to go to the bride for candy.
At this time, Wang Xiuqin was wearing a red wedding dress and was sitting on the bed in the side room, although this room was simple, but the Wang family also arranged it very festively.
