Escape from the desert

Chapter 252 Preparations for the Wedding Reception
The drizzle was hazy, and the biting cold wind was howling in the whole village, and the dark sky could not conceal the bustle of Linjia Village.

In the past at this time, people in the village had already turned off the lights and went to bed to cover themselves, but today everyone is lighting up their oil lamps, and at a glance, the lights of thousands of houses are brightly lit.

Especially the new house of the Lin family is decorated with lights and festoons, and the luxurious wall is lit with a lantern every few meters. The courtyard inside the wall is decorated with festive red silk and satin. The lights are bright, and the whole house is more brilliant and gorgeous .

This night, Jiang Yan was busy at the banquet, and the women who were in charge of the next day's banquet were still busy. In the spacious courtyard, a group of women gathered around every other place, chatting about gossip in the village. , while quickly washing rice and preparing vegetables.

The dishes prepared in advance had to be moved to the stove, and the banquet was set up in the empty yard. The weather was cold, so for the convenience of serving and for everyone to enjoy the steaming dishes, Jiang Yan directly asked people to sit in the yard for convenience. A few simple stoves were built, and the big iron pan was well cleaned, ready to be used to heat oil at any time.

In the middle of the night, those who couldn't hold it anymore took a nap around the fire, and almost everyone in the Lin family stayed up all night. Lin Dong and Lin Nan, the two groom-to-be officials, were purely too excited, and Jiang Yan, as a family Lord, also did not fall asleep.

Early in the morning.

The rooster in the chicken coop fluttered its wings and crowed a few times. The sky was faintly bright, and Song Tao, who had just squinted for less than an hour, started to get busy with the others, arranging the tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the village in an orderly manner in the yard. .

There were a lot of people eating today, and the entire village was borrowed to collect nearly a hundred tables and chairs. If the yard couldn’t fit, they would be arranged around the corridor. The meeting wasn’t full yet, but just looking at the orderly arrangement of benches The wooden table is also very spectacular.

In the main room, all the members of the Lin family got up, and Xiaodouzi, who was sleepy and staring, got off the bed with a grunt, squinted his eyes and arched towards Jiang Yan.

When the old house was first built, Jiang Yan gave Xiaodouzi a bed and let him sleep by himself, but after the end of autumn, the weather was too cold, and the little guy slept with his parents again. Last night, Wang Jinhua slept in the old house. On the other hand, Lin Dong was busy all night again, and the little guy slept in Jiang Yan's room by himself.

"Grandma, where did Dad go?"

The little guy rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily. He didn't rely on Lin Dong too much, but he was just curious about what the groom was like. He heard that the groom would ride a horse. He wanted to be the first to see Dad at least. look.

"Little aunt, is Xiaodouzi up?" Jiang Wen's voice sounded outside the door.

"Here we come." Jiang Yan ran over a few steps and opened the door first. Xiao Linzi and Xiao Gouzi rushed into the room immediately, looking at the beautiful room and showing off their new clothes to Xiaodouzi excitedly.

Except for the two children, all the Lin family put on new clothes today. Jiang Yan also bought herself a bright red winter coat, which was low-key and luxurious. Introverted and delicate.

Jiang Yan rubbed Xiaodouzi's head, and put him in a bright red brocade gown, making the already cute little guy even more blessed and lovely.

"Old Wu and the others are busy, and the children are clamoring to find Xiaodouzi to play with, so I brought them here first." Qiao Le sat uncomfortably on the sofa in the living room. Although it is the living room, it can also be regarded as Aunt Jiang's bedroom. His face was involuntarily flushed.

This is the first time he has entered someone else's boudoir!
"Little Douzi, your clothes look good, you are so cute."

The two children looked up and down at Xiaodouzi who was dressed like a little Fuwa, pulled him excitedly, praised him without hesitation, touched where he was, and pinched him, very excited.

"You guys take Xiaodouzi first, I'll go to the boss and the second place to have a look." After dressing Xiaodouzi, Jiang Yan turned around and went to the East Wing.

Lin Dong and Lin Nan didn't sleep all night, they stared at the two big dark circles, washed up in the bathroom, and changed into the wedding clothes they had prepared earlier, because they didn't know how to tie their hair, Tao Bai waited early and put the The loose long hair of the two of them was tied into a bun, and then firmly clamped with a luxurious jade-inlaid hair crown, the hair was tied meticulously, revealing the full forehead.

When Jiang Yan came, the two of them had their hair tied up. They were dressed in bright red wedding dresses, and they looked majestic. The rough appearance of their burly bodies in the past seemed even more attractive.

"Mom! You're here." The two of them looked nervous. It was obviously cold in winter, and they were sweating nervously. They walked hand in hand.

"See you guys are nervous, sit down quickly, I'll touch up your makeup." Jiang Yan pushed the two of them back to the dressing table, and said to Tao Bai, "Tao Bai, arrange for those people who get married, let them get married as soon as possible." Get ready to change clothes and Xiqian, so don't waste the time."

Although a lot of procedures have been saved, the marriage ceremony is still required. According to the custom, the groom must bring a few brothers from the same family when he gets married, which is commonly known as the bridesmaid.

Generally, brothers and cousins ​​are fine. From Jiang Yan's understanding, it is the so-called best man group.

But because they are all in the village, they don't need to go to their mother's house to pick up the bride. Lin Dong and the others only need to pick up the bride, go around the village twice, and then return to the new house.

"I'll go right away!" Tao Bai was also dressed in new clothes, he left the room with a smile on his face, and called for someone at the top of his voice.

Jiang Yan took out her own concealer, asked the two to close their eyes, and gently covered the obvious dark eyes of the two with a brush. She had hardly slept in the past few days, and her dark circles were worse than those of her two sons. To be obvious, so I bought concealer early.

Farmers have darker complexion and do physical work all the year round. The skin is a bit rough, but the skin is firm and there are not many obvious marks on the face. Apply some lotion and concealer, and the fatigue will disappear.

"Mom, this thing is quite useful. The pimples that came out so quickly in the past two days have been covered, and I can't see them at all!" Lin Nan looked at the bronze mirror excitedly, because he cared too much about the pimples. The pimple, he squeezed it for a long time last night, but he didn't expect it to disappear as soon as Mother took the shot.

Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder. This ancient bronze mirror was very hazy, and it still had some light marks in reality, but it was much better than the red one just now.

"Get ready, it's almost time to go."

Jiang Yan looked at the two who were much taller than her, and had mixed feelings for a while. Although she hadn't been with them for a long time, she had experienced many things during this time. She had long treated them as her own sons. Now watching them get married, she also has the feeling that her son has grown up.
