Today is Xu Meiling's wedding day.
Some are happy and some are sad.
In Old Xu's house, red wedding characters are pasted everywhere. It can be said that it is as if the house is decorated with lanterns and ribbons.
There were ten banquet tables in the large courtyard.
I had been thinking of setting up a few tables, but later when I was planning, I found that if every family in the village sent one or two people, there would be six or seven tables for people, plus the educated youth at the educated youth site would have to sit at one table, and there would be one table for family members and one table for relatives.
That means there will be ten tables of people.
No one from the Xu family went to school these two days. The family was preparing for the wedding, and even Xu Huaizhi took an extra day off.
The vegetarian dishes at home are ready, but there is a lack of meat.
Fortunately, there was a bucket of fish caught by Xu Huaizhi as the base, plus the pheasant sent by Xu Huai'an, and more than a pound of fat meat.
But it was still a bit enough, so Xu Ming finally gritted his teeth and asked people to kill the two big hens at home for the banquet.
After all, he is a scholar, so marrying a daughter of a noble family cannot be too shabby. Not having a dowry is already embarrassing, and this son-in-law has a good family background, so it's worth it.
Xu Meiling happily hugged her father and kissed him for a long time.
Early in the morning, the aunties in the village came to help. This was agreed in advance. Now it is the same for every wedding, and those who have a good relationship with the family will help out together.
Lin Xiaomeng is a chef. Who made her recognized as a good cook?
Gu Qinghuan slept until noon and when he woke up, Xu Huaian had already prepared the corn porridge.
After Xu Huai'an recovered, she finally lived the fairy-like life she had always dreamed of.
There is no need to take care of the two children, as they are very self-reliant and need to be carried on their backs or in their arms.
After a simple wash, I had a bowl of hot corn porridge.
I stayed at home for a while.
The two of them were preparing to go out with their two children.
Today they went there to eat and drink as usual. They had already been given a pheasant as a side dish, which was a very good gift, so they went empty-handed.
When they arrived at the door, Xu Huaiyu wrote a gift list at the door. Most of the villagers gave gifts of a few cents, while those with a good relationship would give one or two yuan.
"Second brother and sister-in-law are here? How much money did you write? Meiling is getting married, and you, second brother, will have to spend money." Xu Huaiyu deliberately spoke loudly.
He felt that Xu Huaian would give him a few cents as a token of his respect for the sake of his reputation.
I didn't expect Xu Huai'an to be able to save face now.
"What money? I remember my gift has been delivered, right? Or, if you think it's enough, I'll take it away." Xu Huaian pretended to go to the kitchen.
What he gave was a pheasant. It would be embarrassing if everyone knew that he, as the village secretary, took the lead in undermining the collective justice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Huaiyu quickly begged: "Oh, I forgot, you guys go in quickly, the family is busy."
Gu Qinghuan pretended to walk around the kitchen and then left.
During this time, I also watched a big drama in silence.
Several ladies discussed in low voices.
"This Huai'an family is really something. Although she is away from home, she should at least come to help with her sister-in-law's wedding, but in the end, the eldest sister-in-law is the only one who is busy."
"But, I don't know what kind of magic she cast on that madman, and he suddenly got better.
Liu Guifang was so angry that she went crazy. She thought she had gotten rid of a burden, but ended up throwing away a strong worker. Huai'an used to be a good worker."
"You have to say that Gu Qinghuan is really lucky. She was penniless at first, but she ended up marrying the best man in Xujiatun." Someone said sourly.
The lady's surname was Yang. She had wanted to marry her daughter to Xu Huaian in the past and had said many good things to Liu Guifang. But later on, Xu Huaian suddenly went crazy, so she quickly married her daughter off.
I didn't expect this guy to get better. What a mistake.
Gu Qinghuan hid in a corner listening to his own gossip, but he was not angry at all.
Instead, I feel like laughing.
If she has to be like a woman, working hard, bearing no complaints, and not being able to get everyone's praise, she would rather be a thing.
Why should she make herself happy just to please others?
However, she agreed with what Yang Fengmei said. The reason why she was able to live a good life was because of Xu Huaian and because she was a good person.
She was just about to stand up and get angry, but unexpectedly someone spoke up for her first.
"Sister Yang Feng, what you said is totally unreasonable!
At first, it was Liu Guifang who agreed to the marriage between your daughter Chunhua and Huai'an. But you saw that Huai'an went crazy, and soon you married Chunhua off.
Now that she is doing well, you come to say sour things. This is the blessing of the educated youth. It is good that she just married Huai'an, which shows that they are destined to be together. "
The person who spoke was someone else, Erdan's mother, the captain's wife, Chen Fengqin.
She is also the women's director of Xujiatun.
In name, it is to handle women's lawsuits and safeguard women's voluntary rights.
She was here to help today, and she hadn't intended to say anything at first, but when she heard these old ladies getting more and more angry, she decided to stand up and say something fair.
As for this educated youth Gu, her previous impression of her was that of a weak but strong girl. Unexpectedly, she has become more and more impressive during this period of time.
Yesterday, they brought Dabao over and gave him some soap from their home.
It is said that they made it themselves. This is the good thing about cultured people. They can even make soap by themselves.
It smells nice and is also very useful, better than pig pancreas.
She was too embarrassed to ask for the recipe, and thought to herself that after these pieces were used up, she could buy some more from her. The children at home all liked this thing.
Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that Chen Fengqin, whom she had only met once, would actually speak for her. She thought this person was right.
Erdan is also a very naughty child who doesn't know right from wrong. I think this has something to do with Chen Fengqin's usual teachings.
"Chen Fengqin, what do you mean? So you mean that Gu Qinghuan is blessed, but I Chunhua is not?
You must give me an explanation today!
Others are afraid of you as a woman of incompetence, but I am afraid of you!" Yang Fengmei was touched in the heart, like a chicken with its feathers blown off.
Everyone gathered around to watch the show, and saw the two old ladies were about to get up.
Gu Qinghuan knew that he could no longer hide and watch the show.
"Chen 덿 Ren is right! I am blessed. Whoever I marry will live a good life!
Others are jealous and envious of me.
Some people looked down on others and were short-sighted at first, and now they regret it and say sour words. I guess it’s appropriate, right? "
Yang Fengmei blushed, she didn't expect that the gossip was coming, but she was also scared.
"Who said something sour? Who regretted it? I, Chunhua, should just live a good life now. Your crazy son has two children and you are acting like a spoiled brat."
Yang Fengmei insisted that only she knew what the truth was.
Gu Qinghuan simply slapped her away, not used to her at all.
