Chapter 457 The people of Zhulin Village were shocked
Gong Shangzhou and Youzhou, who had been here, walked with their backs straighter and straighter, with a proud look on their faces.
They whispered to their families and neighbors: "See, we didn't exaggerate at all!
It's good here. Isn't it much better for our daughter to marry here than in Zhulin Village?"
Others just felt that their eyes were not enough and kept looking around.
From the gate wall at the entrance, they were surprised to see the observation tower. After entering, they happened to meet the patrol team. Even if there was a happy event today, they still insisted on patrolling and did not leave to watch the excitement!
I felt unprecedented peace of mind.
The dirt road in the village was paved with gravel, which was much cleaner and tidier. The houses on both sides of the dirt road were brick houses and adobes, but no matter which one, they were tiled.
The son-in-law who led the way said that the spacious brick and tile house with three rooms on the right was a book house!
It was specially for children in the village to study, and their children could also study in the future, because the teacher of the book house was their master, and the master said that anyone who wanted to study and learn to read could do so.
Everyone was envious, and at the same time, they were glad that such a good host family was also theirs.
When they got to the top of the hill, they saw another scene.
The view was wide, and the houses were in order, with the mountains behind and the water in front. The scenery was particularly beautiful.
And there were many people welcoming them enthusiastically!
Gong Shang was sharp-eyed and saw Shui Qing in the crowd, and hurriedly shouted: "That's our mistress, hurry up and pay her respects!"
The man with a bookish air beside the mistress must be the mistress's scholar husband!
Shui Qing looked at the crowd kneeling down, panicked, walked a few steps quickly to help the old woman in the front, and then said to Gong Shang Zhou Youzhou: "Hurry, get up!
We don't need to kneel here, just talk nicely."
The crowd got up one after another.
The old woman supported by Shui Qing burst into tears, and when she thought of the big day, she hurriedly reached out to wipe them away.
Shuiqing took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the old woman's hand, smiling and saying to everyone: "Today, the bride and groom are the most important! You are all guests who have come from afar!
We don't need to talk about empty formalities, let's focus on the wedding first. After worshiping the heaven and earth, I have prepared a wedding banquet in my yard. Let's have a good meal to celebrate!"
The words diluted all the uneasiness and restraint, and everyone responded loudly: "Okay!"
Shuiqing and Fan Jin were afraid of stealing the show, so they quietly returned to the yard, and the five women, Li Dani, Erni, and Zhou Yu, hurried back to watch the ceremony.
There were many people making noises over there, and the waves of noise came one after another, and the corners of the mouths of those who did not go to watch the ceremony could not help but rise.
Fan Qiye smiled and said: "It's lively when there are many people. I hope it will be like this when Xiaoliu gets married."
"Don't worry, with Xiaoliu's good popularity, it will definitely be more lively than this." Shuiqing followed back.
Thinking of his youngest son, Mr. Fan Qi snorted unhappily: "This kid, he ran away as soon as he was asked to meet someone. I don't know when he can get married. I don't know if I can see it before I close my eyes!" "Then live a long life. As long as you live long enough, you will definitely see it!" Old Man Xu joked with his old friend. Shui Qing watched the old people bickering on the side, and the corners of his mouth never fell. The dishes on the table were getting more and more, and the noise over there was obviously smaller. Shui Qing stood up and asked the old people to take a seat. Although it is not possible to invite everyone, the elderly people in the village who are extremely respected and have good conduct should still be invited, so that the people of Zhulin Village can recognize their faces and it will be more convenient for them to come and go in the future. Several old people, led by the old village chief, stood up, but did not sit down, but walked to the door of the hanging flower to greet them-how could they take a seat first because they are a few years older before the guests came? That is disrespectful! When Gong Shangzhou and Youzhou led people here, they saw the old men standing outside the gate to greet them. They were so moved that they kept saying that they were too polite.
Shuiqing looked at them being polite to each other and felt that the old men had invited them correctly! If it were her, she would have wasted half a pound of saliva for being so polite to each other for the main table.
In the end, the old man from Zhulin Village and the old village chief sat at the main seat, and the rest of the people sat down one by one.
The women were accompanied by Grandma Xu, and the scene was very harmonious.
After the people from Zhulin Village sat down, they saw the dishes on the table clearly, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak!
My God, stewed pig's trotters, stewed sheep's heads, old hens, scrambled eggs and steamed eggs...even the stir-fried vegetables have shredded pork! And the shredded pork is so much that it almost catches up with half of the dishes!
This is not stir-fried vegetables, it's more like stir-fried meat.
"Isn't this too sumptuous?"
To be honest, the old village chief and others also felt that the wedding banquet was too sumptuous. It was a wedding banquet of the standard they had never eaten before, but how could they say that their own dishes were sumptuous in front of the guests? They could only laugh and say, "Your host family was willing to spend money and prepared it several days in advance, just for everyone to eat and drink well."
"You have come from afar and have worked hard on the way. Eat more."
The biggest relief for the people in Zhulin Village at this moment was that they had reminded the children countless times along the way that they were not allowed to move their chopsticks until the adults did, and they were not allowed to grab food.
So even if the children swallowed very clearly, they just stared at the dishes on the table and did not dare to move their chopsticks.
Listening to the very clear swallowing sound, the adults smiled awkwardly, but they did not have the heart to blame the children. After all, even as adults, they could not help it. They were really hungry and could not control themselves.
The old village chief and others did not show any intention of mocking.
Just look at the number of elderly people in Zhulin Village and you will know that their village is very lucky, otherwise these elderly people would have passed away long ago, and their children and grandchildren would be greedier than anyone else in Zhulin Village!
What right do they have to laugh at others? When they first ate Shuiqing's banquet, their swallowing sounds were no less than theirs.
That is, everyone could earn more and more money later, and they could eat chicken, duck, goose eggs, rabbits, and pork and mutton from time to time, so they were not so greedy.
Shuiqing saw that no one had moved their chopsticks, and understood that they were waiting for her and Fan Jin, so she hurried in and announced: "There are two tables in the dining room. We will be with the bride and groom, so you don't have to wait for us!
Everyone, eat and drink well, don't be polite!"
Hearing that the host would not come to join them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Unable to hold back any longer, they stretched their chopsticks towards the dishes on the table that looked delicious at first glance.
Well, the pig's trotters are stewed until they are soft and rotten. They break when you pinch them. When you put them in your mouth, they are soft, sweet and delicious.
The old hen's chicken soup is yellow and has black fungus in it. The chicken is chewy and chewy, and the black fungus is crisp and refreshing.
The mutton has no smell at all, and the mutton soup is also delicious.
There is also a red dish that I have never seen before. It smells sour and sweet, and tastes sour and sweet. It is a taste I have never tasted before.
......
Not to mention that the people in Zhulin Village have never eaten so many delicious foods, even the old village chief and others have not eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time.
