Zhang Xingrong laughed and said, "Brother, since Sister Lan asked you to wait, just wait and take care of Shitou. Sister Lan and I will go first."
"Yes, put on your new clothes, hang up the big red flower, and wait patiently!" Mrs. Lan smiled.
"I..." Zhang Hewu was anxious, "Can't I go over now?"
"Of course not!" Lan Sao sternly refused. "We've already agreed on a time. Just wait. We've already waited for so long. Can't you wait even a day?"
“…”
Zhang Hewu didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t that he couldn’t wait, he was just anxious. He couldn’t even fall asleep!
As he spoke, Shitou came out rubbing his eyes.
Zhang Xingrong smiled and told Shitou: "Shitou, you and Second Brother wait here. This is cards. You can play cards and checkers here. We will come to pick you up when it gets light!"
Shitou glanced at Zhang Hewu and nodded.
After leaving the things behind, Zhang Xingrong also kept some red bean cakes and went to Su's house with Mrs. Lan.
The people from the Su family had just gotten up and hurried out when they heard the knock on the door. Then, under the dim light of the street lamp, Su's mother knew it was two people at a glance.
"Hey, why are you guys up so early?"
Zhang Xingrong smiled and said, "We need to prepare the banquet, so we can help!"
Due to special circumstances, the wedding banquet can only be held at the Su family. How can they not come to help?
"Come in quickly!"
The Su family was all up. They definitely needed to work together on the wedding banquet. Since neither family had decided to hire outsiders to help with the banquet, they all got up early. They slaughtered chickens and ducks, washed them, boiled water, and cooked, and then tidied the house and yard.
I've actually been tidying up these past few days, but I need to tidy it up even more today. There's also things like posting wedding invitations, and there are still a lot of trivial things to do.
Fortunately, the cooking was done by Su's father and eldest brother, both of whom were chefs and very skilled at cooking. With the help of Zhang Xingrong and second sister Su, they were able to handle the work. In addition, Lan's wife and mother also worked together.
As for Su Ying, she has to sit and can't work. What work can a bride do?
The group worked together in a lively atmosphere. At four o'clock in the morning, people from various households in the alley began to come to help.
Zhang Xingrong found it quite interesting to see that each household had one person helping out. This was just like when the villagers held a banquet. Each household would send one person, and they would also borrow pots, pans, stools, and tables from everyone else. Once the work was done, everyone could enjoy a meal. This was why everyone was so willing to help.
In this era of food and clothing shortages, it is great to be able to help someone have a meal.
Of course, the reason why people in the village help each other is because they are from the same clan. If they help you when you have problems, they will help you when you have problems.
When there are more people, work can be done faster.
However, because there were so many dishes, there was a lot of work to do. I waited until daybreak to finish washing everything that needed to be washed. The chicken and duck were almost done, just waiting to be put into the pot. As for the stew, it had already started.
Su's mother and Lan's wife came out to invite us home for breakfast!
"Come on, breakfast is ready. We've been busy all morning, let's have breakfast first! It's meat porridge, don't be disgusted!"
Meat porridge, who would dislike it? This is porridge with meat!
Everyone took a bowl of meat porridge and ate it.
Mother Su came over to Zhang Xingrong with a basket of lunch boxes in her hand: "Rongya, Wuzi and Shitou must be hungry over there, take this over there."
