After working for a while, all the invitations at home have been delivered, the people who should be invited have been invited, and the prepared tables have been prepared.

It is a big deal for this country family to marry, and the neighbors around will come to help, they will bring their own dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, and then take them back after the banquet is over.

In the countryside, a bowl and a spoon are engraved with a word from their own family, but they are not afraid of taking the wrong one.

Liu Man'er originally planned to buy more chopsticks from the county seat, but as soon as Fang said this, she didn't buy it, anyway, this wedding celebration was used like this, there was no need to waste money.

Everything was ready, the ceremony had passed, the paperwork had been exchanged, and September 28 was an auspicious day, and everyone was discussing the need to pass the door on this day.

The day before passing the door, the woman will come to give the dowry first, although the Tao family is a big family, but their idea is to let Ye Qing live in their house, so as Liu Man'er guessed, there is no furniture to send, but just a wooden barrel, a water rack, and a few wooden basins.

Of course, there are some personal things, clothes, cloths, etc., which will come with the bride tomorrow.

That night, everyone in the Ye family was busy putting up lanterns and sticking red paper, so it was not festive, and early the next morning, Ye Qing wore a red groom outfit and went to greet his relatives.

I have to say that he looks very good in this groom's outfit, although he is just an ordinary farmer, but he is handsome, his face is like a crown of jade, but his temperament is a little worse, but with a happy face, the whole person looks glorious and new.

People say that the first of the four happy events in life is the flower candle in the cave room, and it is no wonder that Ye Qing is so happy today. Although Liu Man'er has a gap with Ye Qing, she is a relative after all, and she is very happy to see him so happy.

Not to mention the Fang family, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, now that her two children have married a daughter-in-law, when Ye Feng also marries a wife, and Ye He marries, then her life vision has been completed.

It is not far from Dawan Village to the county seat, the sound of gongs and drums and suona all the way is not festive, although Ye Qing rode a horse slowly, but he set off in the morning, and he had already entered the door before noon.

There are also quite a lot of relatives on the Tao family's side, but fortunately, the banquet prepared by the Fang family is sufficient, and the Ye family's courtyard is big enough, so it can be placed.

Liu Man'er roughly counted, there were more than a dozen tables, these mats were placed in the courtyard, and the kitchen was set up against the wall, with simple adobe bricks and a pot on it, which was a simple stove.

The two small tables are put together into a long table, a few aunts who are familiar with each other are busy chopping vegetables, and several aunts and two aunts also put aside all their preconceptions and help stir-fry and cook.

Rural style, big bowl of vegetables, meat enough, this is Liu Man'er's first time to hold a banquet, and she doesn't want to be too shabby, she bought fine wine early, stacked it in the corner, and let everyone drink it.

Several uncles sat at each table, and they all helped to greet the guests, and the women in the village came to eat and drink, and most of them brought some of their own eggs or two pieces of homespun cloth to congratulate them.

Most of the women who came laughed at her, saw that her belly was slightly protruding, knew that she was pregnant, and asked her how many months the child was, and also told her some precautions, so that she should not stand at the door to greet guests, the wind is not good.

But if she doesn't stand here, there will be no one standing here to greet guests, Fang's health is not good, Ye Qing is the groom's official today, and she has to accompany the guests, so only she and Ye Feng are ushering in.

In addition to some distinguished guests, the other villagers will finish eating at this table, and the other people will go up to eat, of course, the table will be cleaned up, and the dishes that are not eaten on the table will be taken away by the people at the top table.

The women who came to eat and drink brought a bowl of their own, and some meat and vegetables were reluctant to take home to their children in bowls. Most of the seats here have a bowl of steamed pork, cut three fingers wide of thick meat, each bowl is just eight pieces, and after they take it home and cut it, they can use it to stir-fry a few more times.

When Liu Man'er returned to her parents' house before, her eldest brother Liu Guisheng married a wife like this, so she knew these rules, and then asked the Fang family and the eldest lady, otherwise, if she came according to her ideas, she might make jokes and be told by others that she was stingy.

Knowing the thoughts of the villagers, the noodles she made had more meat and less vegetables, and the villagers praised her while eating, thinking that her noodles were honest and well-done.

In the countryside, many people think that it is an excellent life as long as they can eat white rice and white flour steamed buns every day.

As for the banquet of the relatives of the Tao family, they are different from the villagers, after all, they are in the town, and the Tao shopkeeper and his family have a restaurant, and their views on food are naturally different.

Seeing that the guests and hosts were happy, Liu Man'er was also very happy, seeing that there were fewer people coming, she stood for a while, and felt a little tired, so she asked Han Shixin to help greet her, and she went into the house to rest for a while.

Just after entering the house and sitting for a while, the Fang clan also came in, and when he saw Liu Man'er lying there, he called her: "Man'er? ”

"Mother?" Liu Man'er raised her head, not knowing why the Fang clan had come in.

"Man'er, I just saw you suddenly enter the study, so I came over and asked, are you too tired in the past few days, and you are not feeling well?" Fang asked.

"Nope." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about me, I just stood for a long time and felt a little tired, so I came in and rested." ”

"It's okay, you have to tell me if you have something." Fang Shi also sat down on the chair next to Liu Man'er as he spoke, and said, "I will also sit with you for a while, this is more tiring than me doing a day's farm work to greet guests outside." ”

When Liu Man'er heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Mother, you're not in good health, it's time to rest for a while." ”

"But as the host, we can't be lazy here, there are still a lot of things to do outside, and I should ask again when the guests can't find me." Fang Shi said again, obviously this day also tired her enough.

"Mother, don't worry, take this opportunity to rest, you have to be busy later." Liu Man'er saw her standing up and about to leave, and reached out to hold her.

This banquet is set with flowing water, and they will drink until the evening, and the evening is also when Ye Qing and Tao Cuiya worship the church, and everyone has to come to watch the ceremony.

Fortunately, Xitang was ready last night, but there are not so many things to do today, and while they are drinking, the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law can still sit here and be lazy.

"Okay, then I'll sit down a little longer." Fang sat down as he spoke, rested, and slapped his shoulder.

Ye He and Cao'er saw that the Fang family and the two were here, so they also came over, and the two helped Liu Man'er rub their shoulders, and Liu Man'er was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

"You two little girls are really amazing now, they can embroider, cook, and read, they can be described as considerate, gentle and diligent, and I don't know who has this good opportunity to marry you in the future." Liu Man'er half-squinted and said quite comfortably.

The two little girls couldn't help blushing a little when they heard her words, and they all said, "The two of us are still young, and where is my sister-in-law so good." ”

"Of course you're good." Liu Man'er said: "I just hope that you can always maintain such an original intention, so pure, and not be disturbed by the dust and filth outside." ”

The two girls obviously didn't understand Liu Man'er's words, but said, "Ours will." ”

"I believe in you." Liu Man'er nodded, she also believed that these two children could continue to be as beautiful as ever.

It's not like Ye Qing, who used to look like a person and looked good, but now he has only been out for three years, and he has become a fly and a dog, and his stomach is full of bad water.

I don't know if he will put his interests first in the future, I really hope that he will return to his former innocent and simple appearance, at that time, Ye Yuan was a soldier outside, and he also relied on him to support the family alone.

But now, it seems that they have become a little unrecognizable. Is it because with himself, he is no longer burdened with so much pressure, so he has changed? But that doesn't make sense, does it? Change or not change, it all depends on himself, what does it have to do with her!

I only hope that after he gets married, he can be down-to-earth, understand his responsibilities and obligations, and truly grow up and take responsibility.

"Cao'er and Xiaohe are two good children." Fang Shi said on the side, "This family is also thanks to the two of them, although they are young, they have helped me a lot, they are caring and hardworking, they are really my little padded jacket." ”

Hearing Fang's praise, Cao'er couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks were crimson, she felt that her life was really good now, not only was she able to eat well, everyone treated her very well, and Ye He played with her and whispered together.

In the past, when I was at home, there was endless work to do every day, and my father and mother were very tired from doing work, and her temper was a little irritable when she was tired, but even so, she had not blamed her father and mother. And now because of my sister's help, the conditions at home are much better, and my father's temper has also improved, and she really wants to go home to see it.

"Sister, when are we going back to see my father?" Cao'er lowered her head and whispered in Liu Man'er's ear.

"When I'm done with Ye Qing's marriage, I'll take you back to live for two days." Liu Man'er said.

"Well, thank you, sister." Cao'er heard Liu Man'er say this, and nodded happily.

"What are you whispering?" Ye He asked when he heard it.

"It's nothing, I'm going to take the grass back to my parents' house after a while, Xiaohe, do you want to follow me to the mountains to play?" Liu Man'er looked up at her.
