"No rush. Just bring it over to the banquet tomorrow after breakfast."

These days, every household doesn't have extra tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils. If we move the table here today, the whole family will have to stand to eat in the evening.

"Captain, where are these dishes?"

Li Xiu Lian brought a group of women, carrying a lot of vegetables on their shoulders and in their hands.

"Don't keep it at home. Take it to the river and wash it. It will be ready for use tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Under the command of Chen Baiwang, a group of women took vegetables to the river to wash them.

"Doctor Yang, these are all picked from the brigade's vegetable garden. A wedding banquet can't be all meat, we need some refreshing vegetarian dishes too."

"Captain, you're thoughtful."

It’s not that Yang Baiyi didn’t think about vegetarian dishes. There are plenty of vegetarian dishes in his space. He originally planned to take them out early tomorrow morning to ensure that they are absolutely fresh.

Unexpectedly, Chen Baiwang took the initiative to send the vegetarian dishes over, and the other party didn't know that he had them, so Yang Baiyi still had to accept this favor.

"Doctor Yang, you're being too polite. These are just some crops grown in the fields. They're nothing at all. Compared to your contribution to Chenjiatun, they're completely insignificant."

"Captain, we've brought over the pots from the cafeteria. Where do you think we should set up the fire?"

At this time, Hu Zi ran in. An ox cart was parked outside the courtyard gate, with four large iron pots from the canteen on it.

"Just set up the fire outside on the riverbank. It's cool there with trees and easy to use with water."

With Chen Baiwang's full arrangements, Yang Baiyi was indeed relieved of a lot of worries.

Of course, Yang Baiyi is not a stingy person. The male comrades never run out of cigarettes and tea, and the pockets of the female members are also full of candies.

In just one morning, all the game had been processed and cut, and all the vegetables had been washed.

At noon, Yang Baiyi didn't let everyone go back for lunch. Instead, he cooked a big pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, which made everyone drunk.

After dinner, everyone went back for lunch. In the afternoon, the kitchen helpers came again.

Under the shade of the trees beside the river bank, everyone was busy doing their own job.

The steamed pork with rice flour and pork with preserved vegetables were all put into the steamer. The lean meat was cut into strips and sliced ​​as needed. Some fat and lean meat was picked out and chopped into meat filling and rolled into meatballs.

After lard is boiled to make oil, the remaining oil residue is the favorite snack of children.

Sprinkle with salt and five-spice powder, and eat it without making a sound.

"Goudan, take your brother out to play somewhere far away. What are you doing here? It's like you've never had a good meal in your life."

The children gathered around after smelling the fragrance. Li Xiulian was embarrassed, fearing that she would be laughed at.

"Aunt Xiulian, what are you doing? Children also have self-respect. There are so many people here, you can't scold them like that."

Hearing the noise, Yang Baiyi hurried over. He still liked Goudan very much and usually took good care of the little girl.

"It's okay. Children in our countryside are not so spoiled. I often scold them like this at home."

Although she didn't know why Dr. Yang wanted to take care of such a trivial matter, Li Xiu Lian still patiently explained it.

Yang Baiyi thought about it and it was true. In the original owner's memory, because Grandma Wang next door had many children, he often heard Grandma Wang scolding her grandchildren.

The main reason is that Yang Baiyi's soul comes from the future. Children in the future grow up in a honey pot, so there is no need to worry about the children being greedy. Only when the children don't eat one day will the adults panic.

"Okay! How can the children not be greedy for such delicious oil residue? Let's give the oil residue to the children."

Yang Baiyi picked up the fine salt and five-spice powder next to him and mixed them directly into the oil residue.

"No way! Doctor Yang, how can we let them eat such good things as snacks? It's such a waste.

It's also a great dish to stir-fry cabbage or stew potatoes in the evening!"

Li Xiu Lian said with some heartache.

"Aunt Xiulian, you've been busy all day, how can you eat this tonight? The pig's offal is already stewed over there, and you can have braised meat and gnaw on big bones tonight.

Erya, Goudan, take your brothers and sisters to eat over there. Xiaoxiao, get each of your friends a bottle of soda."

"Thank you, big brother."

"Thank you, Doctor Yang."

The children cheered and came over to squat in a circle around the oil residue basin, eating the delicious oil residue, drinking sweet soda, and squinting their eyes happily.

During dinner time, Yang Baiyi asked Hu Zi and Shuan Zi to run errands and go to the sales outlet to move two boxes of sweet potato cake.

"Everyone has worked hard today. The high temperature has affected our work points.

Everyone, just have a bite to eat tonight, and I'll treat you all to a good meal tomorrow."

Yang Baiyi picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Doctor Yang is too polite. How can you call this a casual treat? I'd like to treat you like this every day."

Hot and fragrant big bones, cut into large pieces of braised meat, and the most popular ration wine among the members. Ordinary people would not dare to eat like this during the Chinese New Year.

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, the male members of the commune waited for the women to pack up and leave the riverbank, then went straight into the river.

After enduring a day of scorching heat, a soak in the cool river water makes my soul tremble with comfort.

The next morning, Yang Baiyi and Xiao Fuxing hung red lanterns at the gate of the courtyard.

Especially the west wing, which had already been cleaned by Mu Xue and Lin Wanru, waiting for the newlyweds to move in.

After breakfast, Accountant Xu and the old branch secretary came to Yang Baiyi's house early, carrying big leather bags and account books.

The two men have high prestige, are good at writing and calculating, and have always been the best choices for accountants at weddings and funerals in Chenjiatun.

The members who eat early have already started to move tables, chairs and benches from their homes, and started to gather at Yang Baiyi's house with bowls, chopsticks and plates.

"It's almost time, uncle, let's go pick up your bride."

"OK."

Xiao Fuxing looked at his watch after a while and couldn't wait any longer.

The two of them rode on brand new bicycles with big red flowers tied on them and headed towards the educated youth compound.

"Zhou Zhiqing is truly lucky to have married Dr. Yang's uncle."

"Who says it's not true? In the past, Grandpa Xiao only came to stay for a while in the winter. Who would have thought that they would actually marry an educated youth as their daughter-in-law?"

"It seems that he plans to stay here permanently. If I had known this, I would have asked Guihua to help my daughter find a match."

…

Looking at the bicycle going away, a group of women regretted their decision and felt that they had missed out on a rich husband.

"My dear sisters, don't you dare say that when Fengying is married to you.

I am quite satisfied with Fengying. She is willing to marry my son, which is a case of marrying down."

The women's discussion was overheard by Mu Xue, who was sending her son and eldest grandson out to welcome the bride.

"Look at how free you are, and you still have time to gossip. Are the tables and chairs set up? Have you washed the bowls and plates?

Why don't you go to the fire and see if you can help?"

Chen Baiwang glared at them, and the women who were still regretting their actions dispersed and went about their business.
