On the eighth day of the first month of March, the day of the Du family's banquet.

The customs in this area of Taoxi Town, the day before getting married, is the day of the woman's banquet, relatives and friends come to the door, drink and send blessings.

Because the owner is happy, the shop is temporarily closed for three days, and the banquet for entertaining relatives and friends is placed in the shop.

When the sky was still bright, the Du family got up. The whole family has done their job and has become very busy.

As soon as he put down the rice bowl, the master chef who made the noodles came to the door with the cook.

People brought their own cooking utensils, and the big stove built directly in the backyard, when they saw the ingredients prepared by the Du family, the master showed a little approval on his face.

These ingredients are very fresh, they are all prepared according to his instructions, and some of them have been processed, and they are very attentive at first glance, which shows that the host family attaches great importance to this banquet.

Early in the morning, Qiu Caidie and Qiu Dacheng rushed over to help. Qiu Dacheng was busy helping Zhang Luo, and the guests should come to the door in a while, and he had to put the plate on the table first.

Generally, there are three kinds of dishes, one plate of sugar, one plate of melon seeds, and one plate of peanuts.

Before the official opening of the table, when friends and family sit together and chat, they can say something.

Even in the countryside, this plate is also a very important thing, if the host does not put the plate, or the things are not good, people are stingy behind the scenes.

The Du family put out six kinds of plates.

Peanut candy, maltose, melon seeds, peanuts, red dates and red bean cake were placed.

This kind of arrangement, although it can't be regarded as one of the best, is not bad.

Du Heqing originally wanted to put a few more things!

Although their family is not a rich family now, they are much more financially prosperous than before, and he is such a daughter, and Yu Niang is married, so he naturally wants to be beautiful.

But Du Yuniang said that there was no need to show off. The dowry gifts sent by Yang Zheng at the beginning were enough to attract people's attention, if they weren't low-key now, others might not be able to talk about them in the future!

That's not good.

Du Heqing thought about it, and this is also the truth. Although they only invite some relatives and friends, the neighborhood is all around. But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, in case someone is red-eyed and says something unpleasant, and it spreads out, it is also not good for Yu Niang.

Be a man, don't be too ostentatious, otherwise, disaster will come to you.

So in the end, there were only six kinds of plates.

Even so, it's eye-catching enough.

When Qiu Caidie came to the backyard, he happened to see that the master who made the mat was very calm and pointed at the two apprentices he brought.

Qiu Caidie only glanced at it, and then went to the east courtyard.

"Jade Niang!" Qiu Caidie ran to Du Yuniang's house with a little excitement, but before anyone arrived, the voice came first, "Bride, I'm coming to see you." ”

Du Yuniang was bored in every way, and finally came to someone who could talk to her, but she was still in shape.

"Speak well." Du Yuniang had a straight face, but under Qiu Caidie's teasing gaze, she couldn't help but smile and asked her to sit down.

Qiu Caidie looked at the dowry in the house, and couldn't take her eyes off.

"Oh my God, you don't even have a place to put your feet here."

"Where is that exaggerated!" Du Yuniang pretended to screw her, "Even you made fun of me." ”

The boxes that grandpa gave you, the cabinets have been sent to Wuyan Town first, and the big items are all over there! If it's all here, there's nowhere to put your feet!

Qiu Caidie was very envious, the burden covered with red silk was full, and she couldn't think of so many dowries.

Du Yuniang probably saw her thoughts, pointed to a few things in the corner and said, "Those were all sent by Brother Yang to supplement me." The dowry was in a uproar, and there may be a lot of people behind my back saying that my father and mother sold their daughter! ”

"Those people are sour, you don't have to pay attention to Yu Niang."

Du Yuniang smiled lightly, "Why do I care about that!" Life is for yourself, not for others to see! Besides, when Brother Yang sent the dowry gift, our family didn't leave anything, and they all brought it to me, and those people were sour, and they couldn't make any sour! ”

Qiu Caidie smiled maliciously, "Tsk, listen, full of domineering, I'm convinced!" Are you showing off, do you know? Oh, by the way, you're okay with your throat, right? Are there any traces on the neck? ”

Du Yuniang's voice has recovered a lot now, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear any difference from before. But the pinch marks on her neck have not completely healed, and faint marks can still be seen.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried about you at all, you're a blessed one." Qiu Caidie thought that her friend would get married tomorrow, and she would soon put on a wedding dress, and her heart was completely reluctant.

Du Yuniang held her hand, "Sister Caidie, Wuyan Town is not far from Taoxi Town, if you want to meet in the future, you can do it at any time!" ”

Neither of them has a mother-in-law, so they are at ease!

Qiu Caidie smiled and did not speak.

That's true, but once you get married, how many of them can be truly comfortable! Always have to be careful.

But at this time, don't talk about that!

Qiu Caidie deliberately went to see Du Yuniang's dowry.

"That's a lot!" The chests were filled with silver bills.

As soon as the dowry was delivered, it was immediately deposited in the bank. Du Heqing is a cautious person, afraid that wealth will move people's hearts and attract small snacks. As it turned out, he couldn't have done the right thing.

"I took it out yesterday, I'm afraid it's too late, so I will say hello to Boss Qian first. My dad was worried all night, and he didn't feel that he had slept soundly, so he took the dog and asked him to squat at the door. ”

When Qiu Caidie thought of that picture, she inexplicably felt unusually happy, and she couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"Oh, yes!" Qiu Caidie took out a box from her sleeve, "Yu Niang, this is my makeup gift, don't dislike it." ”

Du Yuniang solemnly took it, "Thank you, Sister Caidie, if you say anything disgusting, I will be angry." ”

Qiu Caidie begged for mercy, "Okay, I'm wrong!" While speaking, he also learned from the appearance of a scholar and gave Du Yuniang a salute.

At this time, the Li family and the Liu family also changed their clothes and prepared to go outside to welcome the guests.

Li Shi wore a lake-green button-down smock, people are afraid of the cold when they are old, she also added a padded shoulder to the smock, and a camel-colored horse-faced skirt on the lower body.

Lee's hair is not much, so he combs his hair neatly and bundles it in a bun at the back of his head. She wore a faded forehead, and a pair of plain silver bracelets without flowers on her wrists, and she looked much younger than usual.

"Mother, you should dress like this, how beautiful it is." Liu pulled Rujin to come, "You say, is my mother dressed well?" ”

Rujin nodded, and said very face-savingly: "Good-looking, young." ”

Li couldn't help laughing, "I just think it's too young!" "She's a widow after all!

"What a little fun! Look at the people in this town, which one doesn't dress like this. Some of them are older than you, and they're dressed in red and green! There are happy events in our family, and there is nothing to wear festive points. ”

Li hesitated, she was a widow after all, and logically speaking, she shouldn't show up on this kind of occasion! If it is left in the village, whoever has a happy event and a widow sits at the table, it must be fanned out by a big ear scraper.

Liu sighed in his heart, knowing that his mother-in-law's stubborn temper came up again.

She pretended to be casual and said, "Mother, what do you think?" It's time for the guests to come to the door in a moment, let's go out! ”

Li Shi waved his hand, "No, I'm old, and the commotion outside gives me a headache." I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying in the house. ”

Rujin's eyes lit up.

Before, Li had to pull her out.

Li felt that Rujin was a normal person now, and he should have more contact with people outside, and he should not stay in the house all day. Just took the opportunity of Yu Niang's marriage to let the neighbors know that she has such a daughter, and what she will do in the future is also justified!

But Rujin is not happy, but he can't screw the Li family.

Although she is a godfather, the Li family treats her like a daughter!

"Okay, I'm not going either, accompany my mother."

"You can't, you have to go and help your sister-in-law take care of the things outside!"

Rujin pouted, she didn't want to talk about the outside world, she didn't know those people, what were she going to do?

In the end, Liu couldn't move Li, let her mouth be worn out, and the old lady just didn't move.

"Caidie accompanies Jade Niang! I have to watch the six sons, and I can't let my good grandson fall. ”

Liu really had no choice, so she just left it to her, anyway, she also thought about it, and asked her sister-in-law to help with the previous things for a while, and let her mother-in-law Min come over to talk to the old lady.

When Du Xiaozhi's sisters arrived, the old lady's mind could be lighter.

"That's okay, mother, then I'll go out."

Li nodded and said casually: "Go, go!" Rujin, follow your sister-in-law, don't run around. ”

Rujin was helpless, so she had to say: "Well, I know!" She followed behind Liu sullenly, ready to go out to help receive the female dependents.

After a while, there was a lot of excitement ahead.

Qiu Caidie got up and looked around a few times, "Yu Niang, it's lively in front, it is estimated that the guests are here." ”

Du Yuniang nodded, "I can't go out anyway, just happy and comfortable." ”

"You're going to get married tomorrow, of course you have to rest today." Qiu Caidie said: "I'm here with you, you won't be bored." ”

Du Yuniang smiled, "Sister Caidie, I'm very sleepy now, why don't you go to my sister-in-law to accompany her!" If the two children make a fuss, she can't bear it! ”

Qiu Caidie pretended to be angry, "Do you still have a conscience!" I'm here to accompany you...... Wait, you're sleepy? Didn't sleep well last night? ”

Du Yuniang rolled her eyes silently, Yang Zheng is not to blame for this, if he hadn't run over in the middle of the night, kissed and hugged, could she have insomnia?

It's hard to say, though.

"Well, I'm just a little nervous."

Qiu Caidie believed it, "That's okay, you sleep for a while, anyway, you are the biggest today, and no one will come over to quarrel with you." I'll go with my sister-in-law, and if you have anything, call me. ”

Du Yuniang nodded, sent the person to the door, and then turned back to the house and lay down on the kang to rest.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the box sent by Qiu Caidie, hurriedly took it, opened it, and saw that there were several velvet flowers in the small box.

Du Yuniang picked it up and looked at it carefully......

The people in front of the shop gradually came, and the neighbors who were close to the shop generally came to say hello when the table was about to start, but they came later. For guests who are farther away from the road, they are afraid that it would be rude to be late and miss the opening table, so they usually get up early in the morning and rush to leave, but they will arrive early.

It seems that this has become a common practice, and everyone is used to it.

Liu's mother's family came quite early.

It was still Liu Laohan who drove the carriage, and almost all of Liu's brothers and sisters-in-law came. There are also a few juniors here, because the Liu family has no granddaughter, so Du Yuniang has no cousins to add makeup, which has to be said to be a pity.

Men and women are to be seated separately.

In front of the west shop to entertain male guests, there is Du Heqing, Du Ankang personally greeted, and Qiu Dacheng and two guys helped, there was no big mess.

At the end of the female family, Liu took Rujin with her, and her sister-in-law Ning greeted her, because there were not many people coming, but they were also orderly.

As soon as Liu arranged the two relatives who had been in Xinghuagou before, a carriage stopped outside the door.

Du Xiaozhi and Miss Du Xiaowan both jumped off the carriage and greeted Du Heqing and the others as soon as they entered the house.

"Uncle, big brother. Ma'am! ”

The young ladies were dressed in new clothes, their hair was neatly combed, and they stood together like two beautiful daffodils.

Du Xiaowan has grown a lot taller, his hair is not yellow, and his face has meat, and he looks much more beautiful than when he was at home!

"Little bowl, let the eldest lady take a look, yo, this is the eldest girl!" Liu also really felt sorry for the two children, touched this, touched that, and kept asking: "How is it, did you get up early, did you get cold on the road?" ”

"Don't worry, auntie, we're fine!" Du Xiaowan's temperament is also much more lively than before.

"Are you okay over there? Have you taken a leave of absence? ”

Du Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Yes, if it is invited early, don't worry, auntie!" Jade Niang is such a big happy event, how can we not come. ”

Liu nodded and said with relief: "You can come, my aunt is happy!" Let's go, you go to the backyard to see your grandmother first, and then go to accompany Yu Niang! "Once the girl is married, it will not be easy to come back to the house often.

Thinking of this, Liu was still a little sad. But there were new guests outside, and she didn't have time to think about it.

"Okay, let's go. You're busy! ”

As soon as the young ladies took the little baggage on their bodies, they came to the backyard.

When he arrived in the backyard, Du Xiaozhi's tears were a little uncontrollable, but when he thought that today was an important day, he couldn't add bad luck to Du Yuniang, so he endured the tears again.
