Chapter 106 Wedding Night

Seeing that Jiang Dasao was shocked, Bu Dafang still felt that it was not enough, so she continued with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my uncle's family has reclaimed the mountain that they just got not long ago into an orchard. According to my uncle, he may hire someone to help take care of the orchard next year, and the salary is quite high. My Ah Hu has nothing to do except working in the fields, so I thought of asking him to help my uncle's family manage the orchard.

Sister-in-law, if my Ah Hu is not at home in the future, you have to help me with anything!"

Mrs. Jiang suppressed her shock and asked, "Dafang, is what you said true?"

Bu Dafang nodded and said, "Of course it's true. How can you joke about something like this?"

Mrs. Jiang thought about it and immediately turned back into the house, took out a few strips of vegetable belly (radish belly, one of the most common pickled vegetables in Bobai), and said, "This is what I brought back from my mother's house not long ago. Take a few back and have some porridge."

Bu Dafang was shocked when she saw this. Her sister-in-law was a well-known miser. She had been married to the Jiang family for three years. Apart from the unavoidable social interactions, she could not get even a soybean from her sister-in-law in her spare time.

But today, her sister-in-law actually brought her a few strips of pork belly for the first time, which completely refreshed Bu Dafang's perception of her.

Bu Dafang declined, "Sister-in-law, you can keep this for yourself. I have some pickles at home."

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile on her face: "Pickled vegetables can also change the taste. They are not valuable anyway. They can't compare with the bowl of food you brought over."

Seeing that she really wanted to give it to him, Bu Dafang took it and said, "Sister-in-law, you are joking. What's the point of comparing? I'll take it back and have some porridge. I haven't eaten pork belly for a while, and I'm a little craving for it!"

After some polite exchanges, Bu Dafang took the pork belly given by his sister-in-law and went back into the house.

They lived under the same roof, and Jiang Dehu heard the conversation between Bu Dafang and Jiang Dasao. When he saw his wife coming in, he lowered his voice and asked, "Dafang, what you just said to Dasao, is it true?"

Bu Dafang took a clean bowl and put the pork belly in it. He said, "Of course it's true. Didn't I tell you about my uncle's family situation?"

"Dafang, that's not what I'm asking."

"Are you asking about working in the orchard?"

Jiang Dehu nodded and said, "Yes, I want to ask if this is true? Does my uncle really want to hire someone to help manage the orchard?"

Bu Dafang said, "Of course it's true. I heard from my uncle that we will plant lychee trees in early spring next year. After the lychee seedlings are planted, we will have to hire someone to take care of them. The lychee variety my uncle grows is called Guiwei. It's not like the straight-growing lychees that don't need to be managed and left to grow naturally. Instead, it needs watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc. I don't know the details, but my uncle said there are a lot of things that need to be done, and we need to hire two people to help with the work."

Jiang Dehu was a little moved when he heard this and said, "Dafang, have you told my uncle to let me go to the orchard to help?"

In the countryside these days, there is nowhere to make money. Although he doesn't know how much money he can make working in his uncle's orchard, as long as there is a place to make money, no matter how much, he is willing to go. It is better than staying at home and farming without making a penny.

"I haven't said it yet. I'll talk about it when I go to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle on the second day of the New Year. My uncle has loved me since I was a child, so there will definitely be no problem."

Seeing the joy on her husband's face, Bu Dafang quickly warned him: "Jiang Dehu, I'm going to say this first. When you go to help your uncle next year, you must work hard and don't be lazy. If you dare to embarrass me, no matter what good things your uncle has in the future, you will not have a share!"

Jiang Dehu repeatedly assured: "Dafang, I'm not a big sweet potato. I know what to do."

Bu Dafang then smiled and said, "Well, as long as you know what's going on, I'll go cook for you first. You don't know that the banquet my uncle prepared today really opened everyone's eyes... the spicy crab... the steamed mudworms..."

At today's banquet, all the guests were amazed. Bu Dafang was reluctant to say much to her sister-in-law just now, but in front of her husband, she could talk about it in detail.

…

After Deng Shirong's two brothers-in-law each took back three tables of leftovers, they both gave about one-third of the dishes to their spouses to take back to their parents' homes.

These were all delicious dishes, so Deng Yuntai's eldest aunt and second aunt were naturally smiling happily. Even though it was already late, they still carried several bags of dishes and hurried towards their parents' home.

at the same time.

Today's banquet has gradually spread as relatives and friends go back home! In this era, the most concerned aspects of wedding banquets are generally three: how much is the bride's dowry? How much is the dowry?

Second, how many tables were set up for the banquet? Which important guests came? Third, how many main dishes were there? Was the portion sufficient? Did the dishes taste good? At Deng Shirong's wedding banquet today, these three aspects made the guests talk about it with great relish.

First of all, there was the bride's dowry. Knowing that Zhang Xiuping had married well, the bride's relatives were extremely generous and gave Zhang Xiuping a large dowry. Even though the valuable dowry was not much, the amount was there, and it was still quite impressive.

The 380 yuan dowry also amazed the guests present.

Since Deng Shirong did a good job of keeping the secret, almost no guest knew that the dowry was actually given by him, not the girl's parents.

There were a total of fifteen tables at today's banquet, and when the news got out it caused quite a stir.

Of course, the most shocking thing is the dishes on today's banquet. Not only are there many dishes and large portions, but the taste is so delicious that it is hard to describe. After being spread by word of mouth among the guests, Deng Shirong's banquet has become a benchmark for rural banquets.

From today on, whenever people in the surrounding area mention the word "banquet", Deng Shirong's family's banquet will be a huge obstacle that they can never get around.

…

The bridal chamber prank is an inevitable part of a marriage.

In later generations, because some people had no sense of propriety when making a fuss in the bridal chamber, they turned fake embarrassment into real embarrassment and completely tortured the bride and groom, resulting in the festive custom of making a fuss in the bridal chamber gradually becoming a bad habit that most people hate when it is mentioned.

It is not uncommon for people to take advantage of the bride or bridesmaids under the pretext of making trouble in the bridal chamber.

The most outrageous thing is that someone died during the bridal chamber prank and a bridesmaid was raped...

Marriages in this era still have the bridal chamber prank segment, but nowadays it’s usually the villagers who do it, and everyone is more sensible and doesn’t make it so exaggerated.

Especially, although Deng Yuntai is young, people of his age are basically one or two generations younger than him. Who dares to make trouble without restraint? Therefore, at night, the young people in the village just came to play for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they left one by one, leaving the precious time to the newlyweds Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping.
