Chapter 238: The First Night of the Wedding Banquet

When the village handles big and small things, the children are the happiest. At this moment, Du Gui was pulling Xiaoya and playing with the children who were about the same age in the courtyard of the old house.

Du Mei was busy in the kitchen, and assigned some work to a few aunts who helped, and for a while, the heat wave was rolling all over the house, and the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see people.

Du Gui stretched out his head to see the eldest sister, but the kitchen was either water or fire, and then hot oil and boiling soup, and the women at the door saw that these little radishes were crowded in one after another, and hurriedly blew them away, for fear of causing trouble.

Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong knew Du Gui and Xiaoya, and they secretly stuffed the melon seeds, peanuts, and candy on the table filled their pockets. After getting food, they slipped into the new house hand in hand, and Du Gui looked around with round eyes.

The old shelf's home, she had been here, was dusty at the time, and there were cobwebs in the corner. At this time, the walls of the house were freshly painted with lime water, and they were snow-white, and the windows were pasted with the big red word "happy", which made people happy.

New furniture has been added to the room, the most conspicuous of which is the double bed in the bedroom, an elaborate dressing table, and a new wardrobe painted with tung oil, shining as good as new.

"Little ghost, go quickly, carefully soiled the mattress." Aunt Zhang was probably assigned to work in the house, and when she saw a few children break in, she immediately kicked them out in anger.

The matchmaker Hao Po led the six sturdy offspring of Lao Jitou and Dujiagou, and pulled the ox cart to Chenqian Village to pick up the bridal things, and the joy team followed the blowing and blowing all the way

In the afternoon, the sound of suona was faintly heard in the distance, and the young people left in the house cheered up, took the cannon battle, ran out of two zhang away, and put it in turn, and the long whip was even more winding all the way, ready to let the dowry step on the "red carpet" to go home.

Suddenly, the whimpering sound became louder and louder, and I don't know which impatient young man lit the cannonball, crackling and exploding in mid-air, and the others were not to be outdone, and they all bent down and lit the lead with fire folds. For a while, the firecrackers rang out, and the momentum was amazing, and the onlookers shrank their shoulders and covered their ears, leaned around, and looked at their eyes.

After a while, the artillery battle was over, leaving red crumbs all over the ground, and the old head and others pulled the ox cart into the yard, and the ox cart was full of things that were red in the eyes, which was a little more red than the cannon crumbs in front of the courtyard.

The women all gathered around to see that the number of things to marry represented the strength of the new daughter-in-law's family and their support for her. While looking at it with hot eyes, they muttered in a low voice that those who have girls in the family will inevitably look more carefully, for fear that their daughters will marry in the future, which is less than others and undecent.

Chunya is Qian Maofu's only daughter, the marriage is not not rich, four beds of red quilts, Chunya embroidered a complete set of sheets and pillows, as well as the four seasons of clothing, shoes and socks for the two, and some small pieces such as children and grandchildren buckets, rouge gouache, pompom silk flowers and so on.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Fat are the Quanfu grandmothers invited by the old leader, and when the dowry came, they were busy arranging it. Spread out the futon, unfold the red and bright mandarin ducks playing in the water, and then fold the quilts of various colors into long strips and pile them on top, and a pair of pillows with the same color pattern lean side by side. The two of them had to do things in their hands, and they had to say different auspicious words, and the women who had nothing to do were huddled in the room and listened and laughed.

In addition to the red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, and longan were dyed red in advance and packed in a wooden tray, and then the two made the bed, stuffed these auspicious fruits into the corners of the quilt sheets, and poured the rest on the sheets, and spread them evenly.

The two put the clothes in the closet, rouge gouache and pom-pom silk flowers on the dresser, and the bucket of children and grandchildren behind the curtain, and there was a handful of red chopsticks and ten hard-boiled eggs dyed red, all of which meant auspicious.

The things were all placed, and the two of them put the cut wedding words on various objects, and the room was instantly more festive.

Du Gui squeezed by the door and read this, then pulled the little girl and ran away again. In the courtyard, several women were drinking sugar tea and eating snacks for Hao Po and the six descendants who received the dowry.

The old man wore a wedding dress, shuttled through the crowd, and bowed to the helper, nothing more than to say some words of thanks. He walked into the kitchen and searched for Dume in the smoke.

"It's going to be right away, when will you have your table?" He was dressed in bright red, and Du May recognized him at a glance.

"Don't worry, don't worry, why didn't my aunt and Du Ying and Du Tao come?" The old man had already seen Du Gui in the crowd.

"My mother has Komatsu, she can't come, Sakura will put the ducks, and Peaches will probably go with Aunt Fang to scatter sugar." The heat was rolling in the kitchen, and Du Mei raised her sleeves to wipe her sweat, her handkerchief was already soaked with sweat.

"Brother Stone is coming." The old man frowned a little.

"You don't care about him, he won't come, with my mother at home, how can you starve him?" Du Mei shook his hand and said.

"Many people in the village don't come today, only five seats are opened, tomorrow is the right day, set up a flowing water seat, and my aunt must come no matter what." The old head said expectantly.

"My mother...... You know, she doesn't like to be busy, so let her be. Dumay sniffed.

In the countryside, women who have died of a man are regarded as unlucky, and they generally do not participate in such a happy event as marrying, for fear of giving bad luck to the newcomer, and the lord's family does not like such half of the people to enter the house.

"Why don't you send some food back to them then?" The old man thought for a moment and said.

"These are all trivial things, I will arrange them easily, you should hurry up and hurry up your going, you can arrange the table." The dishes on the stove were almost ready, and Du Mei began to chase people.

"Whoa." The old man answered, and went out to beckon the others to start the cannonball.

Patriarch Du Huaibing went to Qinghe County and didn't know what to do, he went out early in the morning, and he didn't come back yet, so the old head had to invite the patriarch's wife Yin and her Du Mingtang family.

The most senior person in the family sat down, and the other places were easily arranged, and the villagers sat in twos and threes with their peers, and soon the five tables were full.

The woman who helped served the food all over the place, and today it was a warm room wine, and the dishes would not be too much, ten people per table, six dishes and one soup. However, each dish is full of portions, and there is enough to drink and eat.

After eating, it was all dark, and the villagers went back, and the woman who helped was cleaning the kitchen, and the old man who had changed his homely clothes was looking for Du Shu and Erzi, and there were two boys who came to press his bed tonight.

The second stunned man was greedy for a cup, but the amount of wine was not good, and he was nesting in the corner of the wall at the moment, holding the empty wine jar, and smirking.

"Ah, why are you drinking like this?" When the old man found him, he saw his virtue.

"I'm not drunk, I can still drink!" The second stunned man burped and grinned at the old man's head.

"I knew he didn't do anything, and you asked him for help." Du Shu had already gone home to take a shower and change his clothes, his hair was wet and he had a good smell of soaphorn.

"Who...... Whoever doesn't stand up, I'll beat ...... Hit him! The two stunned staggered and stood up against the wall.

"You're still beating people? Let's clean myself up first. Du Shu gave him a despised eye knife.

"Little Du Shu, you ...... Don't look down on people in the cracks of the door, I'm ...... I'm not drunk! The second stunned took a step forward, but his legs were weak and numb, and he was about to fall to the ground and gnaw mud when he saw it, but fortunately, the old man grabbed his collar in time.

"I'll just sit down and take it slowly." The second stunned man said hardly. He dropped the wine jar, groped for the chair next to the table, and moved to the bottom of the fart~ thighs and sat down.

"What is he going to do? What if I vomit overnight? Du Shu twisted his eyebrows and looked at the second stunned, he hung his head at this moment, and the chick dozed off like pecking rice.

"I'm going to find Du Mei and make some hangover soup." The old man stroked his forehead and turned to leave. He chose the person, and it is impossible to replace him now, so I have to hope that he will not spoil the good thing.

Du Mei is in the kitchen to clean up the unused meatballs and fish pieces made today, and now it is cold at night, and the half-cooked dishes will not spoil overnight.

"Why are you here again?" As soon as Du Mei looked up, he saw the old man stepping through the door.

"The second stunned man is drunk, you have a way to wake him up." The old man pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile.

"This guy is more than enough to succeed!" As soon as Du Mei heard this, his heart suddenly exploded.

"Don't blame him, he's just happy and drank a few more drinks." The old man saw that Du Mei was annoyed, and hurriedly helped the second stunned man speak.

"It's really inappropriate to do things, doesn't he still have to press the bed for you at night?" Du Mei was also anxious when he thought of this.

Du Mei saw that there was still a piece of snow-white and tender lotus root next to the board, so she found a large bowl, cut the lotus root into thin slices and put it in it, and smashed it with a small rolling pin to get a bowl of snow-white and sweet lotus root juice.

"You take it to him first, and I'll cook some red bean and mung bean soup." Du Mei has been using the kitchen, and in a small dustpan, she saw this year's newly harvested red beans and mung beans.

Du Mei re-lit the fire in the stove, poured the washed red beans and mung beans into the pot, and added two scoops of water. Because of the big pot of cooking, it has not stopped, the hot pot is hot, and soon, the red beans and mung beans are tumbling in the soup.

Dumay withdrew the fire and let it simmer on the embers of the stove.

The second stunned man drank the cool lotus root juice and seemed to be sober for a few minutes, but he was still top-heavy.

"Du Shu, you look at him, I'll take a look, is the red bean and mung bean soup of the plum ready." The old man was afraid that he would fall, so he had to instruct Du Shu.

Du Shu's brows were furrowed so that he could almost kill a fly, and after listening to the old man's words, he reluctantly sat down next to him.

"Hee-hee, you...... Why are you spinning around? The second stunned man looked up at Du Shu and said with a hippie smile.

"Hmph, you just sit down. Believe it or not, if you break your head for a while, I won't help you! Du Shu said hatefully.

"I know, you won't." The second stunned man was dizzy, and he leaned in front of Du Shu without fear of death.

Du Shu pulled him down in disgust and let him put it on the table. The second stunned blinked his sour eyes, he couldn't see Du Shu clearly at all, he only shook his head, pillowed his arms, and slowly closed his eyes, and snoring sounded.
