Chapter 378: Ceremonies, Banquets
The Jiang family has been participating in the field for many years, there are many relatives and friends, Jiang Junlin got married, this is also a major event for the Jiang family, and almost the entire people who participated in the field came to congratulate them.
Fortunately, Jiang Hanqin and the Cao family brothers helped take care of it, but nothing went wrong and settled the guests properly.
The older ones were busy greeting the guests, and the younger ones hurried to work when they saw the excitement for a while.
The Zhou and Han families held a banquet together, and there were many people who came, how could the Jiang family have so many tables, chairs, bowls and plates to entertain guests?
Yesterday, he had already borrowed some from other places, and just now Jiang Hanqin looked at the people and felt that the budget was not enough, so he sent the young man to borrow something from a nearby neighbor's house.
In addition to borrowing things, there are also people who set up the yard outside.
In these years, they are all happy events at home, unlike in hotels, where there are special local ceremonies.
There is no choice but to simply decorate the yard, hang a pink sheet on the wall, pin a big red flower on it, paste the big red word happiness, set a table in front, and put two chairs on both sides, anyway, that's it.
Fortunately, the temperature is okay today, not too low, and the sunshine is good, so the ceremony will last for a while, and it can always be held.
At half past ten, the ceremony began, and the relatives of my mother-in-law's family were all seated in the courtyard.
The four old men of the Zhou and Han families, Jiang Junlin's grandfather, and Old Man Yang all sat in the VIP seats in front, and the others sat next to them, there were not enough chairs, and some people stood behind the chairs.
Most of the guests who attended the wedding were standing in the courtyard, and there were also those naughty young children, some of whom went up to the firewood stacks, and some of whom climbed the garden sticks.
The bride and groom came from the backyard and stood in the middle of the yard.
At this time, the two of them still greeted the set of clothes in the morning, Zhou Lili was wearing a Chinese bridal dress with red satin, a distinctive style, exquisite cutting, and exquisite embroidery, which looked a hundred times better than the red cotton jacket and red cotton pants of other families.
Coupled with dignified and elegant hair, delicate and bright makeup, and gold necklaces and gold earrings that sparkle with gold eyes, it is really eye-catching.
The bride is so beautiful, I don't know how many young men present envy Jiang Junlin's good luck to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Of course, today's Jiang Junlin is also very handsome, and the red satin dress is worn on him, which makes him look thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and handsome.
The two stand together, it can be said that they are a match made in heaven, no matter how you look at it, they are compatible.
"Look, the bride is wearing a gold necklace and gold earrings, right? It's a golden eye.
Is this the dowry of the Zhou family? This set of gold jewelry must not be thousands of pieces? The Zhou family is really rich, you look at the pomp and circumstance of others, it's really amazing. ”
The people who watched the excitement outside the courtyard saw the dress of the bride and groom, and they were all talking quietly.
"The Zhou family has made a lot of money in the past few years, and they have earned a lot of money just a year.
This year, people have also raised more than 100 hammers, can you earn less in this year's market?
They don't have a son in the family, just three daughters, those two study well, and it is estimated that they will be able to be outside in the future, just this big one, and they can't point to their son-in-law when they are old in the future? Of course, I have to give it to my daughter.
If you don't say it, the Jiang family still has a heart and has such a good family. Someone next to him said sourly.
"You can't say that, the three daughters of the Zhou family are very good, and I can't guarantee that the second and third daughters will have a good life in the future, so I will take my parents over to live together."
People are good to their daughters, and they feel sorry for their daughters, so they can accompany them vigorously, not like you say. ”
When some people heard this, they felt that it was not pleasing to their ears, and they had to refute it twice.
How the people around them discussed, the Zhou family and the Jiang family naturally didn't care, their eyes were on the couple in the courtyard at this time.
The elders of the two families looked at the young couple in front of them, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Jiang Junlin's uncle served as the host today, first thanking all the guests who came to congratulate him, and then invited the officiant and the witnesses to give speeches and read out the marriage certificate.
The representative of the in-laws' relatives spoke and expressed their blessings to the couple, after which the bride and groom thanked their relatives and guests, and the ceremony was over.
Firecrackers were lit again outside the gate of Chiang's house, and the guests who came to congratulate them dispersed in the sound of firecrackers and returned to their houses to sit and wait for the feast to begin.
There are a lot of guests who came today, but fortunately, the Han family made three trips to the house, the Jiang family made two trips to the house, plus the five rooms on the Zhou family's side, no matter how many guests there were, it was enough.
A large shed was built on the west side of the Jiang family's courtyard, and the shed was where the chef cooked.
At this moment, the inside was steaming and fragrant, and one dish after another came out of the pot, and the daughters-in-law who helped hurriedly served the dishes everywhere.
Holding a banquet in the countryside is a special test of the chef's skills, especially when there are many guests like today, and nearly 30 tables are opened in the first batch.
The chef must cook very quickly and serve the dishes one after another, otherwise the dishes will be waiting one by one in this winter, either the dishes will be cold, or the dishes in the back will not come up, and the plates in front will be empty.
Fortunately, the chef invited by the Jiang family is experienced, and most of the dishes are semi-finished products made yesterday, so you just need to go back to the pot and pour some juice today.
Some of the other dishes are steamed, and there are many portions steamed in one pot, so the dishes are served very quickly, and each dish is steaming.
In order to hold a banquet, the Zhou family killed two big fat pigs and dozens of chickens, and Jiang Hanjun ordered a lot of elbows, fish, and various vegetables from elsewhere, so today's banquet was very rich.
Meat segments, crispy white meat, Sixi meatballs, and button meat are all must-have dishes, as well as whole chicken, elbows, and whole fish, except for a cold dish and a dessert, almost all of the dishes on the table are meat dishes.
This kind of banquet is rare in the countryside, and the guests are very satisfied.
Good food and good wine are in front, so what else to say, just eat and drink openly. Not long after the banquet began, I heard all kinds of voices coming from all the rooms, and the toasts were made with fists, and it was very lively anyway.
Zhou Lili and Jiang Junlin returned to the backyard, and they both changed their clothes. Jiang Junlin changed into a suit, and Zhou Lili changed into the red tweed skirt.
Zhou Tiantian cleaned up the eldest sister's hairstyle and touched up her makeup, and then the two returned to the front yard again and began to toast in each room.
Jiang and Zhou feasted together, and many of them were mutual friends of the two families, so they didn't pay special attention to the in-laws' family, and they all entertained together.
Yang Xingguo's family is a distinguished guest, they are all in the east house of the Jiang family, and the old man Yang is accompanied by the three old men Zhou, Han, and Cao, as well as several elderly old men from the nearby neighbors.
The cook made some soft and delicious meals alone, and several old men took a few sips of wine, but no one dared to drink too much.
Han Liren, Zhou Anbang, Zhou Anguo and others accompanied Yang Xingguo, everyone was familiar with it, and they didn't have too many scruples when they spoke.
Yang Xingguo's daughter-in-law Zheng was accompanied by Jiang Hanqin's daughter-in-law Feng, Han Liren's daughter-in-law Liu, and Zhou Anbang's daughter-in-law.
A group of women didn't drink much together, and they talked and laughed quite lively.
