Chapter 269: Wedding Banquet Preparations
As soon as it dawned the next day, Jiang Nan woke up, nervous and excited to think that today was the wedding.
Yang Zhengang also got up early, heard movement in Jiang Nan's room, and came over with washing water.
"Up?" Yang Zhengang asked.
"Well, it's probably going to be busy today." Jiang Nan combed his hair, looked at the broken hair in his ears, and looked a little upturned.
She squeezed her sticky hand from the washbasin and pressed down the curled broken hair, "You said I'll keep my hair back in the future, okay?" Jiang Nan looked at Yang Zhengang.
"That's good, too." Yang Zhengang looked at Jiang Nan, her short hair was also very pretty, "My daughter-in-law is good-looking, short hair is more convenient, if you have time to go to school in the future, you can keep it." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Nan nodded, it seems that Yang Zhengang doesn't particularly like women's long hair or anything, short hair is still neat and easy to take care of.
After washing his face, Jiang Nan took out the cream and applied it, and it was cold and ordinary skin care was still needed.
Knowing that she was going to have a wedding, she specially bought an eyebrow pencil and a color-changing lipstick to bring over.
Although cosmetics are sold in shopping malls today, they don't usually need them, so she doesn't want to buy those, and many people who get married in the countryside don't wear makeup, just embellish it a little.
Jiang Nan was originally white, but he drew his eyebrows and applied lipstick, which made his eyebrows even more picturesque, with red lips and white teeth.
"My daughter-in-law is so beautiful!" Yang Zhengang stood behind Jiang Nan and looked at her from the mirror, his eyes lit up.
Jiang Nan smiled shyly, and his face naturally turned red without rouge.
Both of them wore straight military uniforms, woolen materials, and looked much more upscale than any bridal outfit.
Aunt Yang knocked on the door and walked in, holding two juan flowers in her hand, with the words "bride and groom" written on them.
Seeing Jiang Nan, Aunt Yang's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Jiang Nan is so good-looking, no wonder our steel is determined to marry you." ”
"Mom!" Jiang Nanjiao snorted, embarrassed.
"Put this on, no matter how you say that you should get married, you have to be a little red and festive." Aunt Yang handed over the flowers.
"Hey, I'll wear it." Jiang Nan took the two flowers, and first took the groom's one and pinned it to Yang Zhengang on his left chest.
Yang Zhengang picked up the bride's one and put it on her, "That's right, our ring." Yang Zhengang suddenly remembered.
Usually they can't wear jewelry, but today they have to wear one at the wedding.
Jiang Nan took the ring off her neck, Yang Zhengang solemnly put it on her left ring finger, and then took out her own ring, and Jiang Nan put it on him.
There were no grand weddings, no witnesses, and no ornate vows, so the two silently put on rings for each other, but their hearts were closer than anyone else.
Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Aunt Yang's eyes turned red, now it's okay, no longer have to worry about her son, he will definitely be very happy.
The wedding banquet was noon, and there were already guests coming in the morning.
Several of Yang Zhengang's comrades-in-arms rushed over from everywhere.
"This is Zhang Jinqiang, now in the Ministry of Armed Forces."
"This is Wang Zhen, at the Public Security Bureau."
Yang Zhengang introduced several of his comrades-in-arms to Jiang Nan.
Several people surrounded Yang Zhengang and Jiang Nan, and hurriedly greeted Jiang Nan, "Hello sister-in-law!" ”
"Hello!" Jiang Nan pursed his lips and smiled.
"Boss, sister-in-law is so beautiful." Zhang Jinqiang stabbed Yang Zhengang with his elbow, "No wonder the boss hasn't been married for so many years, so he was waiting for his sister-in-law?" ”
Yang Zhengang was noncommittal and smiled.
"Oh, the sun is coming out in the west, and the boss is actually laughing?" Wang Zhen exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Is this still our iron-faced and ruthless Great Demon King?" ”
"Get out!" Yang Zhengang scolded with a smile.
Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, he couldn't imagine that Yang Zhengang was so funny as a cold person.
"I'll pay attention to what I'm telling you." Yang Zhengang said suddenly.
"Don't worry, boss, you must not let people mess up the wedding. By the way, who is your cousin, let him follow us, so that we can recognize people, otherwise we won't be able to prevent it. Wang Zhen said.
"Ringing, come here." Yang Zhengang called out to a young man leaning against the door.
"Brother!" Yang Zhenling hurriedly walked over and greeted Jiang Nan again, "Sister-in-law! ”
Yang Zhengang thought that he hadn't introduced Jiang Nan yet, "This is the child of my uncle's family, my cousin, named Yang Zhenling." ”
"Hello!" Jiang Nan smiled.
"Hello sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so beautiful!" Yang Zhenling praised at the right time.
"Today, you will help my two comrades-in-arms watch together, don't let people make trouble, no one can, whoever dares to make trouble will be arrested directly!" Yang Zhengang said solemnly.
"Don't worry, brother, leave it to me, I will never miss you. You don't know how long the second uncle and second aunt have been waiting for you for this drink, I definitely can't let them down! Yang Zhenling patted his chest and said.
"Okay, then you bother. We'd like to greet other guests! Yang Zhengang patted several people on the shoulder.
"Okay, you're busy, we'll take care of it." Several people nodded.
Borrowed tables and chairs were set up in the living room and courtyard, and the invited chef set up a makeshift stove in the backyard, and all the prepared dishes were moved.
A few women helped to do the work, washing the vegetables, cutting the vegetables, lighting the fire, and side dishes, everyone was very busy.
Yang Lifeng went over to say hello and stuffed a pack of cigarettes to the chef, "Master Zhang has worked hard today!" ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Chef Zhang took the cigarette, saw that it was a wrapped cigarette, and hurriedly put it away.
He is a famous chef in the village, and he is usually invited to red and white ceremonies, and the owner will give red envelopes, and when he leaves, he will bring a few more good dishes home for his family to eat, and there are also cigarettes like this, but there are very few yuan a pack.
Most of the living conditions of people nowadays are relatively difficult, the money for drinking is also pulled out of the teeth, and some meat and vegetables are less.
Seeing that the owner is not stingy, he also does it very seriously.
"I heard that Zhengang is the battalion commander, this official is not small!" Chef Zhang took the cigarette handed by Yang Lifeng and was not willing to smoke, sniffed it, and put it on his ear, "Even the daughter-in-law is a soldier?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Lifeng's face bloomed with a smile, and there were a few more folds on his face.
"You're blessed, brother!" Chef Zhang sighed, "The whole village is the most promising in your family!" ”
"TOEFL, TOEFL!" Yang Lifeng said modestly, but his heart was as sweet as eating honey. Who said it wasn't, the whole village, no, the whole township also counted their own sons as the most promising, and married a beautiful daughter-in-law, everyone was envious to death.
Yang Lifeng went everywhere to say hello again, the man handed a cigarette, the woman said a few words, and then grabbed an extra handful of candy and went back to the child to eat.
Aunt Yang is preparing the fruit plates on each table, as well as the return gift fruit bags that everyone will bring after eating the banquet later.
"Mom, I'll help you!" Jiang Nan didn't have anything to do, so he went over to help.
"Okay, you look, each bag contains some peanuts, melon seeds, an orange, and candy...... Aunt Yang taught Jiang Nan to wrap the things in return.
