Thanks to Ding Jiajia's help in choosing the items, especially the fabric, which was perfect. The in-laws felt that they valued the occasion, and their sadness lessened considerably.

Shui Qing was stunned. "April 16th?"

Today is already the thirteenth!

It seems the betrothal and other formalities have been simplified, but that's understandable; poor people are just hoping to survive. However, as the hostess, she could help make things a little better: "Have you decided on the wedding banquet arrangements yet?"

Hong Daniu continued, "We've thought about it. The farming in Zhulin Village is finished, and building houses isn't as urgent as that. Plus, they've been hearing from the men who went back that our Shanshui Village is so great, and they want to come and see it while their daughter is getting married."

Because Master Bai and the head of the village had already spoken, they would send a few people to help watch over the farm tools and other belongings. They would set off on the evening of the 15th and arrive on the morning of the 16th to perform the wedding ceremony. After having dinner, they would return home.

"There are over a hundred people here, and we only need two meals a day. If potatoes were the staple food, it would be enough for our four households. We also have chicken, duck, goose, and rabbit. However, we're worried that our in-laws have come all this way, and we don't know when they'll come again. So, we were thinking of buying some cornmeal from you, host. Do you have any left over?"

The host family had previously given them a lot of white flour and rice, but they had been saving it and hadn't eaten much of it. There was still more than half left, which they could use this time.

With over a hundred people, their family might not have enough wheat flour; they'd need to mix in some cornmeal.

Shuiqing: .....Why use cornmeal? She buys cornmeal at the mall, and it's more expensive than wheat flour!

She smiled and said, "Since they're all coming, you don't need to worry about the wedding banquet. Have Da Ni and Zhou Yu come over, and I'll discuss the menu with them. We can set up about ten tables in my courtyard, which should be enough. Tell them that they've come all this way, so they can rest for one night and go back the next day."

"You four families should prepare well for the wedding ceremony and also tidy up a house for them to stay overnight."

They came all this way overnight, with over a hundred people walking the entire distance, eating two meals, and then rushing back overnight. Even the donkeys in the production team don't work that non-stop.

Especially when a daughter is getting married, there is always some worry and reluctance. Paying attention to the wedding and having good food can at least soothe the uneasy hearts of the parents, family members and relatives.

Upon hearing that Shui Qing was going to help them with their wedding banquet, the young men all looked toward the head of the table, their lips trembling, unsure of what words to say in gratitude.

Shui Qing waved her hand and laughed, "Go find Da Ni and Zhou Yu quickly. The wedding banquet is in two days, and the menu hasn't been decided yet!"

You two are going to be grooms soon, so go back and get ready. Make sure the house and everything is neat and tidy.

"Okay, okay!"

"Don't worry, Madam!"

The men left happily, and before Shui Qing could wait long, Zhou Yu, Wang Qiuyue, and Li Dani rushed over, their faces beaming with joy.

How could I not be happy? Eleven men are all getting married at once, whether they are from my own family or other families. We are all one family, and we have been through thick and thin together. Now that we are about to complete a major event, I just want to do my best to make this happy occasion a success!

Even more unexpectedly, the lady took them all on as well, valuing them just as much as they did.
