During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the production team had a day off.
Shen Xiaobei did not go to the stall this morning, and generously gave himself a day off to relax.
Fan Huifang got up first, washed, and went outside to the toilet. Shen Xiaobei took advantage of the fact that she was the only one in the room and swiftly counted the money stored in the space. Except for the rainy days when she did not go to the stall, it was the total money earned during the three months from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After counting, she excitedly found that, adding the dozens of dollars she had saved before, she actually had more than one thousand yuan.
It’s definitely a thousand-yuan household!
This is something that many people in this era dare not even think about.
After counting, Shen Xiaobei quickly put the money back into the space, fearing that Fan Huifang would suddenly come in and see it, and it would be difficult to explain.
After all, she had told her before that after deducting the cost of buying materials, the money she earned from setting up the stall every day was only a few dollars.
After collecting the money, Shen Xiaobei immediately went out to wash up.
Before Deng Yuliang left, he told them that they could just go to the wedding banquet at noon today and that they didn't need to help.
However, Fan Huifang, Shen Xiaobei and Ke Xiaoli all decided to go there in advance to help with his and Liu Juan's wedding banquet. Rather than just being guests today, they would rather go as relatives.
The three of them washed and dressed, and after having a quick breakfast, they took the three boxes of mooncakes and a pair of vases that Shen Xiaobei had exchanged for food stamps at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.
There was also a 1.5-meter-long red printed bed sheet and two pillowcases with matching patterns that she secretly took out from her space. She said that she asked an acquaintance she met at the stall to bring them back from the county town.
They walked together to the second production team of Heishui Brigade, chatting and laughing.
They had not been to Liu Juan's house yet, but it was easy to find. They asked a family living at the intersection of the production team and found it in a short while.
Liu Juan's family also looked very poor. It was a three-story adobe house with no yard at the door, and the kitchen seemed to be inside the house.
If it weren't for the red wedding characters pasted on the door and windows, the house would look quite old.
After the three of them stepped into the main hall, they called out, "Brother Deng, sister-in-law!"
Hearing the shouts, Deng Yuliang and Liu Juan immediately came out of the kitchen, both wearing old aprons.
It seems that everyone is busy in the kitchen.
"Brother Deng, sister-in-law! Congratulations! This is a wedding gift from the three of us!"
"Hey, my two little sisters, Huifang, why did you come so early? Oh, why did you bring so many things? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bring anything, just come and have a drink at Juan'er and my wedding!"
"Yes, you educated youth sisters, you are really too expensive! Just come over for dinner, why bring gifts?"
"Sister-in-law, this is as it should be! Brother Deng is like our own big brother. How can we not express our gratitude for his marriage? Accept it, sister-in-law!"
"this--"
"Juan'er, since you little sisters are so thoughtful, then accept it!"
"Well, that's great! I'm really sorry to have let these educated youth sisters spend so much money!"
When Liu Juan saw Deng Yuliang asked her to accept the gifts, she politely accepted them and took them all into the room.
"Brother Deng, um, where are my sister-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"She's in her room, probably asleep, so there's no need to disturb her."
"oh!"
Fan Huifang originally wanted to greet and exchange a few words with Liu Juan's mother-in-law, an elder, according to etiquette, but she saw that Deng Yuliang looked a little unnatural when he mentioned the old lady.
She and Shen Xiaobei then looked at each other tacitly, feeling that Deng Yuliang seemed to be hiding something from them.
However, they didn't want to ask any more questions and didn't mention Liu Juan's mother-in-law anymore.
The three of them then followed Deng Yuliang into the kitchen.
Seeing that there was no one in the kitchen, everyone was a little surprised. Shen Xiaobei then asked in surprise: "Brother Deng, didn't you ask anyone to help in the kitchen today? Just now, you and your sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen?"
"Yeah, we were originally planning to treat everyone, but Juaner said that since there were only two tables of guests, we shouldn't have a buffet. We should just prepare all the dishes at once and serve them to everyone! So, the two of us can just cook it ourselves."
"Brother Deng, you are the groom today, and sister-in-law is the bride. How can you prepare the banquet by yourselves?"
"Yeah, Brother Deng, why didn't you tell us earlier? Who needs to do this on their wedding day? Otherwise, why don't we three do it! Xiaobei, Xiaoli, what do you think?"
"No problem! We're here so early anyway, so we have nothing to do! Brother Deng, go out and help your sister-in-law with other things, and leave the kitchen to us!"
"You are my guests today, how can this be so embarrassing?"
"Yes, three educated youth sisters, we asked you to come to our wedding today. How can we let you prepare the banquet for us? Yuliang and I can handle it alone."
Liu Juan walked into the kitchen, heard their conversation, and politely declined.
"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. As the saying goes, it's better to be lucky than to be early. Since we are lucky, let us do it!"
"I've prepared a wedding banquet for someone else before, so I have experience! Don't worry, I will definitely not make the dishes at your wedding banquet taste bad to the guests!"
“Juan’er, since my little sister and the others have said so, let them do it. Little sister Shen’s cooking skills are really good!”
"Well... well, thank you all for your hard work today!"
