Xia Jinnian knew that his two good friends were coming, so he arranged for them to sit at the main table with his parents, poured them tea and brought them cakes and sunflower seeds.
Both of them thought that Comrade Tang was really no ordinary person. He had arranged all these things so well at such a young age. It was not something a 17 or 18-year-old girl could do.
If they had known her earlier, perhaps one of them would be married now.
But seeing her standing with her good brother Xia Jinnian, they really are a perfect match made in heaven.
When the cooks saw that the guests were almost all present and the seats were full, they quickly started serving the dishes.
When Zhou Jinrui, Su Chengyuan, Feng Shuhuai and a few young men who helped brought the dishes to the table, everyone was surprised, especially those in the village.
This Tang girl's wedding banquet was too lavish, especially when the people from the Tang family saw the table full of delicious food.
They thought that this little girl's life had been getting better and better since she separated from them, and the more they thought about it, the more upset they felt.
Most of these dishes are meat dishes, and I wonder how much they cost? They can't even afford porridge now.
Not to mention having any meat to eat, it's really a world of difference. I wish I had known she would be living such a good life now.
They shouldn't have separated from her in the first place, otherwise everything she had would be theirs now.
I can only say that your imagination is quite rich, but the reality is indeed very cruel. Who can you blame but yourselves? What's the point of thinking about those things now? What were you doing in the first place?
The team leader acted as the master of ceremonies, standing there with his loud speaker and saying, "Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Jiang Hua'an, and I'm honored to be hosting the wedding of Tang Shiyan from our village today."
"I'm not very good at talking, so I'll just say a few words. I wish Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian a life of love, a long-lasting marriage, a son soon, and happiness and contentment."
"I also wish everyone here good health, good luck, happiness for your family and lots of good fortune."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, applause broke out from the audience. At this time, the captain opened the note given by Xia Jinnian.
I told everyone about the betrothal gift given by Xia Jinnian and the dowry prepared by Tang Shiyan herself.
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. This was the first time that the village had given out so much betrothal gifts and dowry.
It can be said that in a dozen years, I am afraid that no one in our village will be able to afford so much betrothal gifts and dowry.
The captain continued, "Okay, I've finished reading. Finally, I wish them both a happy wedding."
"Everyone, enjoy yourselves and eat and drink. If anyone deliberately tries to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
Even though everyone heard the team leader say that they could eat, some people still sat there like fools without picking up their chopsticks.
I was still thinking about how it would feel to be able to come up with a betrothal gift of 6,888 yuan all at once.
People like them who are lazy and idle will probably never be able to come up with that much money in their lifetime.
I didn't expect Tang to give out so much as a dowry. How could she be so lucky? She found such a good partner to marry.
Tang Shiyan wondered if Xia Jinnian had deliberately let the captain reveal the money. It looked like she would have a rough time before joining the army.
It goes without saying that those jealous people will definitely come to make trouble. Who wouldn't want so much money?
When the Tang family and those educated youth heard about the betrothal gift given by Xia Jinnian, they looked like they wanted to tear Tang Shiyan apart with their bare hands. From their expressions, it was clear that he must be up to some evil intentions again.
Since Xia Jinnian dared to reveal the money in front of everyone, it meant that he had already thought of a way to deal with it. Didn’t his parents just happen to be here too?
Then he will say that the money has been given to his parents for safekeeping. Isn't it normal to give the money to his mother-in-law?
He had known for a long time that his wife would hide the money in the space. No matter how hard they tried, they would never figure out where she would hide her money.
He just wanted to let those who had bullied Tang Shiyan before know how much favored she was now in Xia Jinnian's hands, and he wanted to make those people angry to death.
People with brains will start eating and won’t care how much betrothal gifts or dowries others take. If others have money, they have the ability to afford it.
No one would give them a penny, so seeing the table full of delicious food, they had to fill their stomachs. It would be a waste if they didn't eat today.
This girl Tang was really generous and prepared so many meat dishes for the banquet, and the quantity was large. Even the vegetarian dishes tasted better than what they cooked.
In the past, other people’s wedding banquets would not have such delicious dishes. At most, there would be a few vegetarian dishes. Better-off families would have one meat dish, and it would be very small.
What can be done? The family only has so much belongings and can't take out so many things. I don't know what kind of luck this girl Tang has.
Now she can actually give herself a dowry of 2,800 yuan. I remember that when she separated from the Tang family, she didn't even have a tattered quilt, let alone money.
No wonder she dresses so well now and eats delicious food every day. I wonder how she makes so much money?
Could it be that she only sold the herbs she found in the mountains? However, the herbs she had previously asked the team leader to find were sold.
Indeed, their lives are much better than before. The children go to school and they can buy meat every few days.
What's the point of saying this now? If you hadn't interfered when Tang Yatou proposed that way of making money, you wouldn't have been kicked out by her.
Maybe you are now buying meat every few days. You don’t seize the opportunity to make money, and you still have the nerve to be jealous of others.
Except for the main table inside, the dishes on the tables outside were almost divided up by them, and some were even on the verge of fighting.
Some people knew that Tang Shiyan had prepared a lot of meat dishes for the wedding banquet today, so when they came, they took a plastic bag and put it in their pockets, waiting to take out the bag and put the meat dishes in it and take them home.
Especially Feng Lihong, Jiang Xiulan, Zhang Aifang, and those old women, they immediately rushed over to grab the meat and vegetables as soon as they saw them served.
But they are much more active and energetic than when they go to work, for fear that their work will be snatched away by others.
The same goes for the educated youth. Although they usually act like they are well behaved, they haven't had much meat to eat since they came to the countryside.
The movements when eating are much more efficient than when they work. I am just afraid that you eat more than me and I eat less than you.
Some people even brought their own bowls, put a large bowl of meat and vegetables in the bowl, and waited to take it back to the educated youth site to eat.
It’s all because people were too poor back then, otherwise they wouldn’t be scrambling to eat the food and even pack it up.
They finally saw how capable Tang Shiyan, a country girl, was. Not only could she organize such a great banquet, but she also prepared so much dowry for them.
