Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 151 Preparation
Huge lanterns hung up.

The window lattices were also pasted with window grilles with the pattern of magpies climbing on branches, and there were various dowry things, all of which were pasted with festive patterns one by one, and the whole courtyard was filled with a strong joy.

The busy people never stop. The relatives from Sun's natal family, Wu Mei's aunts, have already rushed over. The distance is not too short, and there is no room allocated here, so they go to the new sister-in-law to borrow. live.

There was only one person living in her own family in that big house.

It is very convenient to pass from Pinellia.

According to the customs of Dongwang Village, the day after tomorrow is the day to get married, and when the time comes, someone from the Wu family will naturally come to meet the bride.

Therefore, tomorrow night, the woman's side will start to hold a banquet.

The workshop on Pinellia has stopped working, but fortunately, the rice noodles are dried and packed, and shipped to various places in baskets, and it doesn't matter if it takes a day or two.

At this time, the strength of the family is reflected.

Su Youyi was naturally worried about dowry and other things, and Su Youzhang brought the side branch. Su Youde had already had a gap with this side, but he was indispensable for showing his face like this, so he was busy with him, Su Youcai was not happy at first, he just wanted to eat and drink, but in the end he was called out by Su Qian.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhou also came over to help Zhang Luo, and slowly started to talk about it. On such a festive day, how could Mrs. Sun care about them? Didn’t other families in the village come here in the same way? We don't say a word when we meet, but if there is a big event at home, a festive banquet or the like, we can get together and talk, and the previous things will pass away slowly.

At least on the surface.

You can't let outsiders see that there are conflicts in this family. As for what you think in your heart, that's out of your control.

A wedding banquet is not so easy to organize.

Starting from inviting relatives, you need to plan. Many people have tasks. They set out to various villages. Invitations and wedding cakes need to be delivered, and they are told when the appointed date is. Naturally, this task is given to those strong young men who can To travel long distances, but also to be smart and talkative, naturally, this item has already been completed at this time.

But now there is still a crowd of people in the yard.

It is to arrange things for tomorrow.

Su Youli, Su Youzhang, men and young men, and Li's and Qiu's are all daughters-in-law and eldest girls, separate.

Although Zhang Liu and Xin's sister-in-law are familiar with this place, they are people with foreign surnames and will not arrange them to work. They only come together when the banquet is held.

Yuan Guang has also gone to the school to get a leave of absence, and he is with Su Youli. When assigning assignments, he writes on the red paper with ink. Although he has not been in school for a long time, he has a solid foundation before, and now he has a model. Sample.

Successfully gathered many people to praise, "Yuan Guang, your handwriting is really good and smooth."

"Yes, dark enough."

It made Yuan Guang smile wryly, and Yuan Feng, who was watching from the side, was very unconvinced. In the past, such things were all when he was in the limelight, but today Yuan Guang took the lead, muttering to the side, "How much have you learned?" Day, I dare to write blindly, in case I make a mistake..."

Yuan Guang smiled and didn't say a word, pretending he didn't hear it. Although Yuan Feng was older than him, he hadn't suffered much. He was always protected by Mrs. Lin. If he really went out, he might not be able to survive. Yes, Yuan Guang is different. He has been on the mountain since he was a child, and he has to work, herd cattle and chop firewood when he is older.

"I'm not talking about you for my brother. We are scholars, we should have the bearing of a scholar. Look at your family, is that business done by people? A philistine!" Seeing Yuan Guang's expression, Yuan Feng said more One sentence.

Before Yuan Guang could speak, Su Youzhang, who couldn't listen anymore, waved him away, "Yuan Guang, then your father's craftsmanship is very good?"

No one has time to deal with a teenager's temperament.

There was a crowd of people standing in front of him, Su Youzhang whispered a few words to Yuan Guang, and saw that he had listed them one by one, and the lines were good, "Sanbo, the paper cut by Banxia, ​​divided into several pieces. , this is the purchase, this is the person in charge of the tables and chairs..."

These several more important things are all filled in the top, just need to write down the name, Su Youzhang couldn't help but praise, "I will understand after studying, and I will send your brother to follow you someday, but I can't take the exam To be a scholar, it is good to be able to read a few words."

Su Youli was already talking there, "For the purchase, Butcher Zhang came to kill two pigs early in the morning. I'm afraid the pork is enough, and the list has already been drawn up. The pillars, wood, and small buildings are just us."

Yuan Guang added the names of these people.

Regarding this point, it turned out that what Su Youde always wanted to do was to buy, but how could the money pass through his hands like this? After he heard that the pork was not bought here, he didn't insist much. Not to mention the need to carry a cart on my shoulders, if there is something that is not easy to buy, I have to go to the village to inquire, and I am in a hurry.

Such a comparison doesn't take much advantage, it's better to show your face at home.

It's not easy to hold a wedding, separate men and women, Su Youzhang has some prestige in the village, and his words are very popular. He also knows what is suitable for each family. He is the one who assigns this.

After Su Youli took charge of the purchase, Su Youzhang went on to say, "Old Ma, your brothers follow Ban Xia and his uncle, take care of the tables, chairs and benches, and the rice noodle shop has them. They don't do business for a few days, and they can be brought back later, but It’s still a little short, and you should remember it when you go to borrow from each house, and return it later.”

"Uncle, don't worry, we brothers usually do a lot of things, but where did you get that car?"

Only then did Su Youli remember, "It's okay, we've already borrowed this car, you can go and bring the tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks back today, there are all of them at the shop, and we will drive the car to go shopping tomorrow without any delay .”

"It's brave."

Su Youzhang looked at Su Youcai, "Youcai, you are quick-spoken and clever. I will leave the serving of the food to you, you guys. You will go to my place to get the tray and wash it, and divide it up." , who cares which tables, don’t run away.”

Everyone will smile, there is a reason for this. When the banquet was held in the village, there was no big space, so they set up tables in nearby houses, and there were also tables in the yard. But the young man who served the food was shy and carried a tray. Just put the dishes in the table on the table. After putting it on, some dishes on the table will be repeated...

Fortunately, the people in the village, even those who are narrow-minded, know how to measure. After laughing, the dishes naturally remained unchanged, and they were taken away and put away.

Su Youcai had a thick skin, was able to speak well, and made a lot of nonsense. He went to serve the dishes, and it was not a tiring job, and he was able to show his face. He was very satisfied with this.

"Don't worry, let me take a look at you guys, maybe you will be taken by a certain family, and you may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

Surrounded by young men, they laughed haha ​​upon hearing this.

Wave after wave of laughter rippling here.

In the end, the master who was in charge of the spoon was invited, and someone was appointed to cut the vegetables and carry the dowry, and Yuan Guang recorded them one by one.

When the handwriting is dry, paste it on, and stick the red paper on the wall.

There are also those who didn't catch up just now, or who were a little confused, "What, what am I doing this time?"

"What are you doing? Just eat!"

"It's such a good fortune. I can't make it, I'm going to serve the food!"

The people on the side laughed even more, "I heard that Niu Ling's relatives are coming, you are going to show your face—"

The weddings are in a few nearby villages, and they come to drink weddings. It is normal for relatives to turn around in each house, but now it is just a job to show their faces, so that they can take a look at each other.

Yuan Guang has already gone to work.

They looked at it, but couldn't recognize the words.

Yuanchen is not a big person and has nothing to do, so when he saw someone surrounding him, he leaned over and said, "Brother Big Hei, you are in charge of serving food, go find my fourth uncle."

Yuan Chen also studied for a few months, worked very hard, and was smart, if Yuan Guang hadn't had a foundation, he might have surpassed him, so he stepped up his efforts.

The names of the people in the village are not complicated, not to mention that because of today’s incident, Yuanchen himself took the task to look after these people during the discussion. Brother Tie Dan, you are going to move the table."

Seeing that Yuanchen is the younger one, with his hands behind his back, the boys and girls inevitably tease him.

Yuan Chen was very embarrassed to be praised, and grinned.

The iron egg stared at his face and exclaimed, "This is the first time I realize that you and Gu Ya'er look quite alike!"

"You can see your own daughter-in-law, are you confused? They are twins, can they not be the same?"

In fact, this is no wonder to him, Gu Ya'er is a girl, lively and tight, not afraid of anything, smiling all day long, Yuan Chen is different, usually with a deadpan expression, no one will say that they are like Yes, now that I am laughing, I am a little confused.

Speaking of which, everyone is in high spirits. After the autumn harvest, the farmers are all idle. It is rare to have such a happy event, and everyone is also happy. They work very hard, otherwise they will be talked about when they turn around. After all Everyone will encounter such a thing, and they also ask others for help. This tacit understanding is still there.

Su Youli had already arranged people, but he couldn't rest. He looked around to see if there was anything missing. Even if the place where the table was placed was not flat enough, it still needed to be filled in, and the tables, chairs and benches needed to be checked one by one when they were brought back. It's not good to fall when the time comes...

The place where the stove is used is right next to the rice noodle workshop. He is using a hoe to carefully plan a small canal. When the time comes, the water from this side will be led to the small pool at the other end.

Just as they were moving, Zhang Liu came over, "Third brother, I'm afraid we will have to set up a few more tables this time! The other side of Xiwang Village is coming to burn firecrackers—"
