Chapter 466 Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia’s wedding
Shanshui Village doesn't have good musical instruments, but it has gongs. Now they are beating them as they go, and the sound of clang clang clang echoes throughout the village.
Accompanied by the booing of many young men, there is an unprecedented bustle and excitement.
At the end of the team are four strong men responsible for carrying the sedan chair. They carry the big red sedan chair, and their proud expressions are about to overflow from their eyes.
The lively wedding procession came from far and near, and the girls waiting to be married in the boudoir were sincerely happy for Ding Jiajia.
You can really tell whether they are attentive or not.
Before Zhang Chunhua got married, they wished they could stay at home and never get married, but now seeing the shy Ding Jiajia and Hu Wenhua who came early, they realized that it's not that getting married is bad, but it depends on whether the person you marry is good.
Ding Heli Qin Yilin has never felt that it is so good to not have red tape! According to the rules of the wealthy families in Jinling City, they must eat at home, but Shanshui Village was used to being poor before, so as long as they could fill their stomachs, it didn't matter where they filled their stomachs, so that everyone could be together for the wedding banquet at noon.
Amidst everyone's congratulations, Ding Jiajia looked around her boudoir and got on the sedan chair with tears in her eyes.
The wedding procession returned to the Hu family, and Fan Xiaoliu lit firecrackers in advance, and the crackling sound accompanied the sedan chair into the yard.
Everyone in the yard stretched their heads to watch, and saw the old village chief Fan Qiye and other elders also stood up and watched the newlyweds enter the house.
Zhang Chunhua looked at the scene in front of her and felt bad.
When she got married, she caught up with the team selling medicinal materials returning to the village. Except for her family, no one saw her off. When she arrived at the Fan family, it was also deserted. Even the people who were originally invited to the banquet did not come because they were poor and looked down on the Fan family's wedding banquet.
Not to mention the sedan chair and firecrackers.
The Hu family was too generous! Why did Ding Jiajia catch up with all the good things?
"Oh, look! Did Aunt Ding let Jiajia bring back all the betrothal gifts?"
"More than that, there are a lot more than on the day of the betrothal! There are so many things I haven't seen before."
"Touch the quilt, it's as smooth as water, why is it cold? What kind of fabric is it, why does it feel so comfortable?"
"Is it silk? Don't touch it, I've seen it in the cloth shop, the waiter said that our rough palms can scratch out silk, and the material will be ruined."
"Hey, you're right, we can't touch it, thank you for reminding me!"
......
Zhang Chunhua couldn't sit still when she heard it, and immediately stood up to touch it.
She had never touched silk before!
"Where are you going? I'm leaving it here, I won't care if someone else sits in this seat later!" Fan Dazhu looked at Zhang Chunhua who stood up and said impatiently.
Zhang Chunhua glared and whispered viciously: "You dare!"
Fan Dazhu stiffened his neck and said: "Do you think I dare?"
Zhang Chunhua felt her hands itching again and wanted to hit him, but she thought that if she was kicked out of the wedding banquet today, she would lose. She endured it again and again and threatened: "We will settle the score when we get home!"
Fan Dazhu thought of the good leg that was kicked last time, shrank his neck, stopped talking, and waited for the food to be served.
The bride who was sent to the bridal chamber sat obediently on the wedding bed. The room was full of people who were making noises, and Zhang Chunhua squeezed in.
Entering the wedding room, she deeply realized that although they were both brick and tile houses, the difference between the new house and the old house was so big!
Her husband's family was also a brick and tile house. The lime in her and Fan Dazhu's wedding room fell off, the corners were dirty and black, the bed and wardrobe inside were tattered, her parents did not give her dowry bedding, and the wedding bed was Fan Dazhu's, which was hard and hard and had several patches.
In contrast, Ding Jiajia's wedding room was three times the size of hers! It was a whole room, and there was a wall partitioned off at the back, probably used for getting up at night;
The wall was made of snow-white lime, and there was a long wooden table near the window, on which paper and pen were placed to imitate the scholars. It was a waste of money for a peasant to come from a peasant background!
The bed, table, chairs, wardrobe, and bottles and jars were all brand new.
The wedding bed was covered with a complete set of bright red bedding, and even the pillows were the same color, with layers of embroidered flowers on it that looked like real things, very beautiful;
There were even high piles of quilts at the head of the bed, probably as many as seven or eight beds!
Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but vomit sour water.
How good it would be if Ding Heli and Qin Yilin were her parents...
Zhang Chunhua suddenly regained her composure after being slapped hard on the back with full force. She was about to start cursing when her mother put away her slap and accused her: "You didn't knock over the gold and silver jewelry over there, but just stared at the bedding. Are you stupid?"
Zhang Chunhua said unhappily: "What's the use of looking at it? It's not mine if you can't touch it. What's there to look at!"
Especially since the gold and silver were placed behind the bed, and Yan Qiuxing, Hui Wanxia and three other maids were standing in front of it, everyone consciously didn't go over and just looked across the bed.
Why did she go over? Anyway, she could see clearly from here.
Second Aunt Zhang wanted to say that she could take advantage of the chaos...but she stopped after thinking about it. Life was better now, and she didn't want to be driven out of the village because of this thing!
·
The wedding banquet divided cold dishes, hot dishes and snacks, and the dishes were served one after another, shocking everyone.
Cold fungus, cold and spicy lotus root slices, smashed cucumbers, and spicy and sour chicken feet, four cold dishes with both vegetarian and meat, refreshing and appetizing.
Stewed mutton, stewed old hen, stewed spareribs, braised fish, braised food platter, various stir-fried dishes, all steaming hot.
Fried crispy pork, fried wild fish, fried spring rolls, fried tofu balls, with a small dish of fine chili powder on the side for people who like spicy food to dip in.
When have the villagers ever seen such a banquet? They were all stunned!
I just feel that my eyes and hands are not enough, I want to eat this and that even more!
"People who are going to hold wedding banquets will be under great pressure in the future." Someone joked.
Others laughed and replied: "Forget such a good feast. I have lived for thirty years and only had this once! I really saw the world!"
"You have lived for thirty years and only had this once, and I, an old man, have lived for sixty years and only had this once! But I really have no regrets in my death."
"Pssst, don't talk nonsense. I heard that this menu was drafted by Shuiqing. Can't we do the same for the village banquet in the future?"
"Yes, we can't afford it ourselves, but we can do the village banquet. Even if we hold it less frequently, it will be grand and lively each time. Wouldn't it be better to eat some delicious food that we can't eat on weekdays?"
"Tell the old village chief after it's over!"
.....
The wedding banquet at noon is the main meal, and the dinner in the evening is for those who help.
After the wedding banquet, everyone walked towards the old village chief's table and spoke out the opinions they had just discussed.
The old village chief smiled and asked, "Do you think it should be held before or after the autumn harvest?"
The people present thought that good things cannot be eaten often, that would be a waste.
"After the autumn harvest, let's celebrate it with great enthusiasm!"
"Yes, I hope this year will be a bumper year!"
It was the first time to harvest medicinal herbs, and I didn't know how the herbs in the field would grow.
Everyone was unsure.
