Tang Shiyan was surprised to see the wedding characters pasted everywhere. She didn't expect these boys to be so clever and dexterous and could cut out such beautiful wedding characters.

It’s a pity that in this day and age weddings cannot be extravagant, otherwise she would take out balloons to tidy up the room and it would look better.

Although she was going to follow Xia Jinnian to the army after marrying him, she still prepared a new quilt, a new pillow, and daily necessities for herself.

These were originally prepared by her parents' family. Although she has not found her family yet, she can prepare them herself.

She would never let those who laughed at her get their wish. Even if she was alone, she could marry off with honor.

Xia Jinnian said to Tang Shiyan, "Yanyan, you know our family's previous situation. My parents have just returned to their jobs, and the money I have is from my usual frugal living."

"So I can only give you 6,888 yuan as a betrothal gift now. Don't worry, I will give you all the money I earn in the future."

"You can spend it however you want. You don't have to save money for me. I have a wife who knows how to spend money at home, which gives me motivation to make money."

"Jinnian, your betrothal gift is already very generous. Although your family has had a bad experience, I believe that things will get better from now on."

"Also, just save the money you earn in the future. If you want to start a business after you retire from the army, you'll have money on hand."

"You know I have everything I need, and I don't want to control everything for you. If you give me all your money, you'll have to ask me for more when you need it."

"It's fine if you're around, but what if you need money urgently when you're not around?"

"Yan Yan, I know you have everything, not to mention money. Now that we're married, isn't it only natural for me to give my money to my wife?"

"If you're worried that I won't have any money when I need it urgently, I can just keep some for myself and give the rest to you. Yanyan, you can't refuse me again."

"Okay, Jinnian, but wouldn't it be too conspicuous in our village if you took out so much betrothal money all at once?"

"Yan Yan, it's okay. We can't be careless about such a big thing as our marriage. Anyway, the money I earn is legitimate money, so I'm not afraid of them coming to check."

"Jinnian, the dowry I prepared for myself is just two new quilts and 2,800 yuan. Doesn't that seem a little too little?"

"Yan Yan, it's almost done. We're just putting on an act for outsiders to see, so they know you can live a good life on your own."

Tang Shiyan had told Meng Huilan before that the number of dishes for her wedding banquet was a bit too many, and it would probably not be possible for just a few of them to prepare it tomorrow.

So today Meng Huilan brought a few aunts from the village who could cook to come over and prepare the difficult dishes first and wash what needed to be washed.

It would be faster and less tiring to cut and stir-fry them tomorrow. When they saw so many vegetables piled on the ground, they were stunned.

Meng Huilan stuttered, "Tang...Tang girl, are you buying all these dishes for tomorrow's banquet? This is too much."

"Aunts, we don't have many dishes here, just about ten or so. But some of them are difficult to prepare, so I asked you to come here today and prepare what you need to prepare."

"Just cut it up and stir-fry it tomorrow. For example, if you have braised beef, you can braise it today and cut it up and serve it tomorrow."

"It's just that I've worked hard for you aunties these past two days. I'll give you a big red envelope later so that everyone can share in the joy."

"Tang girl, don't be so polite to us. Besides, didn't you give us a red envelope? We didn't work for free."

"Luckily you asked us to come today. If we had come tomorrow morning, we probably wouldn't have finished it by the time the meal started at noon. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"That's why I asked you ladies to come today. If you come tomorrow morning, you'll be very tired. I don't want you to be that tired."

"You are such a sensible girl. If you have some free time today, tell us how to pair these dishes, and we will just cook according to your combination."

"Just wait until tomorrow to be a beautiful bride. We will take care of all the other things."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll leave this place to you. It's almost noon, why don't you make lunch first and eat it before you get busy with other things? You can't work on an empty stomach."

"I still have to decorate my wedding room. I'll be there first. Thank you aunts for your help."

"Yeah, Tang girl, just go and take care of your own things. We'll call you when lunch is ready."

As soon as Tang Shiyan left, the wife of the village chief and the wife of the accountant were talking about how this girl Tang was really not stingy at all. She prepared chicken, duck, fish, pork and beef. How many meat tickets would it take?

Hu Yuemei: "The wedding banquet hosted by this girl Tang can be said to be the best in our entire village."

"Who would hold a banquet like her? How could they even have so much meat and dishes if they couldn't even afford to eat?"

"Comparing yourself to others makes you feel frustrated, and comparing things to others makes you throw them away."

Feng Chunling: "I didn't expect that after Tang girl left the Tang family, her life became better and better. She put out so much meat at a banquet, and also had a few vegetarian dishes."

"The staple food is also big white steamed buns and meat buns, as well as white rice with plump grains. The food she eats in this one meal will last us a month."

"My heart feels like it's about to burst out. Even if she has money, she can't do this."

"In our village, every wedding banquet has three or four dishes, and there is only one meat dish, and the rest are vegetarian."

Feng Chunling: "Huilan, haven't you always had a good relationship with Miss Tang? You should talk her out of being so generous in the future."

"She needs to learn how to live. She's getting married soon. If she continues to be extravagant in front of her in-laws, she'll be scolded."

Meng Huilan: "I've said that too, but they have the ability to come up with so many things, what else can we do?"

"Besides, she's found such a great partner and is willing to spend money on her. Do you think I should stop her from holding this banquet?"

"Okay, let's stop meddling in other people's business and make lunch quickly. We still have things to do after lunch."

"Luckily, Miss Tang, this place is quite spacious. If it were like our own small kitchen, we wouldn't be able to use it at all."

"This Tang girl is really capable. She built such a big house and even made the kitchen so spacious. Young people nowadays are really smart."
