201. Chapter 201 Grand Wedding 1



On the 28th day of the sixth lunar month, Feng Qingxue was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. She pushed the door open and saw that the sky in the east was already turning light.

The breeze in the early morning is gentle, but still hot.

Looking back and seeing her sister still sleeping soundly on the bed, Feng Qingxue smiled softly, put away her joy and anticipation, and opened the cupboard to check the melon seeds, candies, cooked peanuts and other items that had been prepared long ago.

You only get married once in your life, so it should not be rushed.

Therefore, Feng Qingxue was extremely well prepared and secretly asked Jiang He to send a portion of it to Lu Jiang.

Before this, she had asked her uncle and aunt how to prepare for her wedding banquet, and got an answer that was both expected and unexpected.

Due to the scarcity of supplies, it was not popular for many young men and women in the countryside to hold wedding banquets. Giving the guests a bowl of sugar tea was the best treat. If they had a little more capital, they would prepare a few dishes to entertain the guests who brought their own dry food.

That’s right, in addition to tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, guests also have to bring their own dry food.

Everyone who attends a wedding banquet or visits someone else's home will consciously bring their own dry food without anyone reminding them.

When people are getting married, they just need to cook a few dishes and put them on the table. If they can get eight dishes together, and one of them has a little bit of meat in it, it is considered a great banquet!

The vegetables in Feng Qingxue's house were all collected by relatives and neighbors. There were dried vegetables, fresh vegetables, and wild vegetables, which were all picked yesterday.

The people who came to help didn't cause her any worries at all, and they consciously brought tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks and other items.

No wonder many people in later generations still remember this era. It was so simple and honest that it deserves respect from everyone.

Feng Qingxue has no brothers or sisters-in-law, which is the same as having no relatives. The closest people in the clan are her second uncle and second aunt, so they are fully responsible for her marriage. In recent days, they have been doing their best to take care of all matters, and have done a better job than Feng's father and mother.

Why do they say that? Because Feng's father and mother favor boys over girls, and they don't care about Feng Qingxue at all.

Feng Qingxue closed the cupboard and locked it, then handed the key to Second Aunt Feng who had rushed over early in the morning. "Second Aunt, I went out the other day and asked someone to get me some bacon, eggs, and Chinese sausages. I told you yesterday that they should be in the cupboard along with peanuts, melon seeds, and candies. Don't forget to take them out to entertain the guests when I'm not here at noon! Cook a few dishes, and thank you all for your help these days."

"Why do you need so many good things? A table with half a pound of bacon is a great banquet. You can take the rest as a dowry. No one will dare to look down on you when you get there!" Aunt Feng felt extremely distressed.

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "I'm just making some extra money for everyone. No one over there will look down on me whether I bring anything or not."

"I really don't know who you inherited this generosity from! With these good things, the people who help will definitely be more attentive!" Aunt Feng sighed, took out two hot boiled eggs from her pocket and stuffed them into Feng Qingxue's hand, "When people come later, you won't have time to eat. You don't know when you'll be able to eat when they pick you up. Eat two eggs first to fill your stomach."

"Thank you, Second Aunt!" Feng Qingxue did not refuse.

By the time she had finished eating the eggs, Second Aunt Feng had already looked at the things in the cupboard and said excitedly, "Ten years ago, and ten years later, no one's family could prepare as well as you did this time! Scrambled eggs, fried bacon, fried sausages, two large meat dishes on the table, melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and lard from the oil can. I guarantee that everyone will have a mouthful of grease!"
