Inside and outside the courtyard, a total of 36 tables were placed, in addition to the Zhang family's own family, they were also borrowed from many families in the village.

The tables used by the people in the village to eat are similar, they are all similar rectangular low tables, and in winter, this kind of table will be placed on the kang, and the family will sit on the kang to eat.

Some villagers who arrived early filled the tables one after another, and of course the Zhang family would not let the villagers sit on an empty table and chat dryly.

There is not so much attention in the village, there is no teapot and tea bowl, everyone uses stoneware bowls to hold tea, and on each table, there is a small bamboo basket of candy, a small bamboo basket of cakes, and a large plate of fried peanuts and a large plate of fried chestnuts with sugar.

The specifications of this wedding banquet are the first in the village, and no one will have such a big hand, and there is still these foods to eat before the main banquet, and they are usually entertained with a bowl of tea.

In particular, the children in the village are happy to see snacks that they don't usually eat at home.

One by one, they didn't run around, but obediently followed their own adults, sat at the table, and ate the food placed on the table, because there were more things, and there was enough for them to eat, and there was no robbery.

And Zhang Xiaoxue also instructed Erman, let her often take a look, whether the snacks on the table such as candy and cakes are enough to eat, if there is more children sitting on which table, and which snack is gone, hurry up and make up for it.

There were two tables of people sitting in the new house, Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and grandmother came to entertain them, and the people who came were all elders who had heads and faces in the village and could talk.

The topics they talked about must have been mostly compliments on Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and grandmother, and they only heard the cheerful laughter of the two old people from time to time.

In this way, in the midst of joy and busyness, as Zhang's mother said, at the beginning of the day, I heard the words from outside, "The bride is coming, the bride is coming, ...... is coming".

Although there are no scenes of firecrackers and suona blowing, there are just some cheerful sounds of children, and there is also a newlywed atmosphere.

Zhang Xiaoxue was in the kitchen, and when she heard the children outside calling for the bride to come, she couldn't sit still, put aside the work at hand, and handed it to the second steamed bun next to her, and couldn't help but want to go out and have a look.

"Mother, uncle, I want to go out to see the excitement. ”

"Okay, let's go! I've been detained in this kitchen all morning, and you're suffocated, and you don't have to worry about the work here, a few of us can do it, and we're basically done." ”

After Zhang's mother agreed, she saw Zhang Xiaoxue walking out happily.

"Haha, these days, since Xue'er recovered from her injury, she has been a lot more stable, like a little adult all day long, busy at home, and now she finally shows a little girl's demeanor again. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue's eldest aunt also smiled and said to Zhang's mother on the side.

"Yes, I haven't seen Xue'er go out to play these days, and Xue'er is busy working alone in the store opened by the family in the county, and I haven't bothered about it......"

When Zhang Xiaoxue walked out, she saw that the bride in a red dress had already gotten off the ox cart and was about to enter the door.

Zhang Xiaoxue looked at it with a smile on the side, not too far ahead, she wanted to see what the process of marriage here is.

I don't know if it will be as cumbersome as in ancient China, but unexpectedly there is no such thing as crossing the brazier or crossing the saddle, and the bride did not even cover her head with a hijab, but was taken to the hall by the groom's hand.

Zhang Xiaoxue and many children, keeping up with the footsteps of the newlyweds, it turned out that in the hall, Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and grandmother, the two of them were sitting upright, waiting for the newlyweds to finish worshipping the church, and the new daughter-in-law had to give tea to the two old people.

When the groom and bride finished worshipping, the bride gave tea to the two old people, and the two old people also gave the bride a red envelope.

After that, the groom introduced the bride, all relatives and friends in the family, and knew so many people at once, Zhang Xiaoxue thought in her heart, the bride will definitely not remember so many new faces, right?

After the brides got to know each other one by one, the wedding banquet was about to start, and Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle, Zhang Zhenhu, asked the two of them for instructions.

Only then did the celebrant of the wedding announce the start of the wedding feast, and of course the people in the kitchen heard it and began to arrange for the food to be served.

Hehe, the people in the village are not so particular about getting married, how to be honest and how to come, and the dishes are served in stoneware pots.

So after all the dishes were served, the table was full of clay pots, and the fragrant dishes made the villagers who came to congratulate them smile.

Everyone took out the dishes and chopsticks they brought from home, and after Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and grandmother spoke in the front hall, everyone hurriedly stretched out their chopsticks to the dishes that they had been optimistic about for a long time.

It's really that the dishes prepared by Zhang Xiaoxue and the others are too delicious, and they are basically big fish and meat, and the amount is very sufficient, which is a food that the villagers rarely eat.

For a while, only the sound of chewing was heard, but there was no words that everyone talked about from time to time, Zhang Zhenhu took his new daughter-in-law and began to toast the guests table by table, and then the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp began to come.

For this wedding banquet, a jar of wine was prepared at each table, which was a lot of money, and this amount of money could be spent a lot.

At that time, when he heard that he wanted to buy wine, Zhang Xiaoxue also wanted to fund the third uncle with some money, but was rejected by the third uncle, Zhang Xiaoxue still remembered that the third uncle had a shy smile at the time and told her that he still had some private money, which was the pension when he returned home from the army.

This pension was supposed to be given to Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and grandmother, but the two old men didn't ask for it, because Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle would have to spend a lot of money to get his leg treated.

At that time, the pension was basically spent out, and it was not cured, and there was still a little left, Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle also gave up the treatment, so he had these silver taels left, and at this time, he took it out to buy items for his wedding, which can be regarded as making the best use of them.

The adults had drinks to drink, and Zhang Xiaoxue originally planned to take out some juice and give it to the women and children, but was dissuaded by the family.

Everyone said that the juice was too expensive, and there was no need to pay for it like this, and the wedding banquet prepared by the family was already the first in the village in all these years.

Since everyone said so, Zhang Xiaoxue naturally didn't insist anymore, she knew in her heart that what her family said was right, she couldn't let her family get too far ahead and cause some unnecessary trouble.
