The bed, table, chairs, wardrobe, and all the bottles and jars were brand new.
The wedding bed was covered with a whole set of bright red bedding, and even the pillows were the same color. The embroidered flowers on them were layered and looked so real that they were extremely beautiful.
There were stacks of quilts piled high at the head of the bed, probably as many as seven or eight!
Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but vomit sour water.
If Ding Heli and Qin Yilin were her parents, how wonderful that would be...
Zhang Chunhua was jolted back to her senses by a heavy slap on the back, a full-force blow. Just as she was about to unleash a torrent of curses, her mother withdrew her hand and scolded, "Why aren't you knocking over the gold and silver jewelry over there? You're just staring at the bedding. Are you stupid?"
Zhang Chunhua said irritably, "So what if I look? I can't touch it, and it's not mine. What's so interesting about looking at it!"
Especially since the gold and silver were placed behind the bed, and three maids, Yan Qiuxing and Hui Wanxia, stood guard in front of it, everyone consciously stayed away and only looked through the bed.
What did she do in the past? Anyway, she can see it all clearly from here.
Aunt Zhang really wanted to suggest taking advantage of the chaos... but then she stopped herself. Life was good now, and she didn't want to be kicked out of the village because of this!

The wedding banquet included cold dishes, hot dishes, and desserts, and the successive servings astonished everyone.
Cold dishes including wood ear mushroom salad, spicy and sour lotus root salad, smashed cucumber, and spicy and sour chicken feet, are refreshing and appetizing.
Stewed mutton, stewed old hen, stewed pork ribs, braised fish, assorted braised dishes, and various stir-fries, all steaming hot.
Fried pork belly, fried wild fish, fried spring rolls, and fried tofu balls are served with a small dish of finely ground chili powder on the side for those who like spicy food to dip in.
The villagers had never seen such a feast before. They were all dumbfounded!
I feel like I don't have enough eyes and hands to take it all in; I want to eat this and I want to eat that even more!
"People planning weddings will be under a lot of pressure from now on," someone joked.
The others laughed and replied, "Don't even think about such a good feast. We've lived for thirty years and this is the first time we've ever had such an experience! We've really seen the world!"
"You've lived for thirty years and only got to eat this once, while I've lived for sixty years and only got to eat this once! But I can die without regrets."
"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense. I heard that Shui Qing came up with this menu. Can't we follow this for all our village banquets in the future?"
“Yes, yes, we can’t afford to host our own banquet, but we can host a village banquet. Even if we host fewer banquets, each one can be grand and lively, and we can eat some delicious food that we don’t usually get to eat. Wouldn’t that be better?”
"Go tell the old village chief after it's over!"
...
The midday wedding banquet is the main meal, while the evening meal is for those who helped out.
After the wedding banquet, everyone went to the old village chief's table and shared their opinions that they had just discussed.
Upon hearing this, the old village chief smiled and asked, "So, do you mean to hold it before or after the autumn harvest?"
Those present thought to themselves, "Even good things shouldn't be eaten too often; that would be a waste."
"After the autumn harvest, let's have a big celebration!"
"Yes, I hope this year will be a bumper harvest!"
This is my first time harvesting medicinal herbs, and I don't know how they are growing in the field.
No one was sure what to do.
