Chapter XXVI Preparations
In the afternoon, the two came back after shopping, and the Shen and Gu families had already discussed the date, just the day before Gu Zhengqin returned to the army, February 25. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This day is the best day for marriage, today is February 22nd, there are two days left.
Time is urgent, but fortunately, they have already bought all the things they need to use for the banquet, and as for the meat, both families have the cured meat and fish left over from the New Year, and they will go to the market to buy some fresh ones on the 25th.
There are no fresh dishes now, they are all radish and cabbage and pickled vegetables, Cheng Xiangqin and Gu's mother have already discussed, and they will go to the mountains to see if they can find some wild vegetables on a sunny day, which can be regarded as adding dishes to the banquet.
In addition, the most troublesome thing is the clothes.
On the day of the banquet, Gu Zhengqin must have to wear a military uniform, one is to show his identity as a soldier, and the second is to follow the trend, now he is proud of being a soldier, not to mention that Gu Zhengqin is a soldier, and he wants to borrow a military uniform to enjoy his marriage if he is not a soldier, and third, it is natural that Gu Zhengqin looks good in a military uniform, with a straight body, a vigorous posture, and full of energy.
Gu Zhengqin is easy to solve, his clothes are all military uniforms, just put them on when the time comes, and the trouble is Shen Hui's.
Originally, Gu's father and Gu mother said that Gu Zhengqin's military uniform would be changed to a smaller one for Shen Hui to wear, but Cheng Xiangqin felt that the military uniform was a little simple, and the groom should wear it, and the bride should wear red clothes, which were festive and lively, symbolizing the prosperity of the days to come.
The red clothes are not only festive and lively, but also have a good meaning, except that they have to be freshly made, there are no other problems. Cheng Xiangqin persuaded Gu's mother, and the two decided to stay up late every night, one to make clothes for the upper body and the other for the pants for the lower body.
In addition, Cheng Xiangqin also plans to give Shen Hui two new quilts and a new cabinet. The quilt has been prepared a long time ago, as long as the quilt cover is put on, and the new cabinet will be handed over to Shen Dahai.
Shen Dahai used to work as a carpenter when he was young, and usually whoever had a broken table and bench in the village would take it to the Shen family to repair it, and leave a few vegetables or eggs before leaving.
When Shen Hui came back, there were already some good pieces of wood in the yard, Shen Dahai was hunched over and planing the planks with a planer, obviously the weather was white, Shen Dahai was wearing only a thin coat and was sweating hot.
Seeing the two of them coming in, busy to pick up the things in Gu Zhengqin's hand, Shen Hui hurriedly said, "Dad, look at you, your head is sweaty, come in and wash, or you will catch a cold later." ”
Seeing Shen Dahai enter the house, she helped Gu Zhengqin unload the things, "Put it here first, rest and take it over tomorrow." By the way, take some melon seeds, sugar, and wine. ”
Gu Zhengqin nodded, "It's okay!"
In these years, there is a shortage of everything, and there should have been a banquet for each of the two families, but there are not so many things, even less, and the Shen family really has no relatives, and they are single-minded, except for the neighbors, there is no one to entertain, so they simply put the banquet in one place. The Shen family here only distributes some sugar, melon seeds, and home-made snacks to the children who come to see the excitement when they send off their relatives.
was carrying things to the house, Shen Cong ran out while chewing things, and called his brother-in-law first before turning his head and hugging Shen Hui with a smile and taking the things in her hand.
When I entered the house, a smell of fried oil came to my nose, mixed with white smoke, and the whole room was hazy.
"Mom, what are you doing?" asked Shen Hui as she opened the door, unable to move an inch without opening the door.
Cheng Xiangqin in the corner of the house agreed, "Fried dim sum, when the time comes, I can send it to the children in the village who are watching the excitement." ”
When the fog cleared, she quickly closed the door before the cool air came in.
Cheng Xiangqin was also busy dividing a large bowl of fried sugar cake for Shen Cong to bring over, and shouted, "Huihui, you and Zhengqin taste the taste first, the jujube cake and osmanthus cake are almost ripe, come and get them yourself after eating!"
Shen Hui hurriedly pinched a piece of fried sugar cake with her clean hands and took a bite, and she stuck out her tongue while dancing and said loudly, "Mom, the sugar cake is delicious!
Her sugar cake is actually to add some brown sugar to the live sweet potato noodles and fry them in the oil pan. It is also sold in the county, but it is made of white flour, and then the white sugar is wrapped in it, and the sugar water flows out with a bite, which is much more delicious than the Shen family.
But now this is the case in every household, there are only a few taels of sugar tickets a year, and the white flour tickets have long been replaced by sweet potato noodles and bud grain noodles, or there are enough for four people to eat for a year. For this banquet, the Shen family took out at least half of the family assets, and her mother may not be willing to make new clothes and eat meat in the next two years.
After a while, the jujube cake and osmanthus cake were also cooked, and Shen Hui put a few out on a plate. Her mother makes real things, and each cake is the size of his father Shen Dahai's fist, so she doesn't have to eat dinner if she eats one.
Shen Hui looked at Gu Zhengqin, who was eating Xiangsven, but his speed was not slow, and he broke more than half of the jujube cake in his hand and stuffed it to him, explaining, "It's too big, I can't finish it, if I finish eating, I won't be able to eat dinner." ”
Gu Zhengqin nodded, "Well, just give me what you can't eat." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Hui's mouth, and she took a big bite of a sweet jujube cake. Shen Cong, who was munching on a piece of osmanthus cake here, looked up at his sister, and pretended to be aggrieved, "Sister, I'm almost done eating, why don't you think about me?"
Shen Hui glared at him, there were still three on the plate, and besides, he had already eaten five fried sugar cakes, a date cake and an osmanthus cake, didn't he plan to eat at night?
Gu Zhengqin was engrossed in eating his jujube cake, not to mention that the jujube cake that Shen Hui couldn't eat was his, even Shen Hui's people were also his, thinking about it, he raised his head and looked at Shen Cong defiantly.
Shen Cong had long forgotten that he was still begging others to help him enlist in the army, so he immediately jumped up and said arrogantly: "Sister, I still want to eat, I want you to break it for me!"
As he spoke, he squinted at Gu Zhengqin, what if he was his brother-in-law, he was the most painful person for his sister!
Shen Hui and Gu Zhengqin hadn't reacted yet, Shen Dahai, who was wiping his mouth on the side, really couldn't look at it, slapped Shen Cong on the back, and said, "Am I not going to let you eat enough?"
Saying that, he raised his slap again, Shen Cong flattened his mouth, looked at his sister who ignored him, and hid behind Parsley at a trot, while complaining in a voice that could be heard in a room, "Mother, my sister doesn't hurt me anymore when she has a brother-in-law." ”
Cheng Xiangqin glanced at him with disgust and teased: "I want people to hurt, right, or I will tell you a daughter-in-law as Ming'er!"
