After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Fan Dazhu couldn't help feeling regretful and almost stamped his feet.

He calculated: "Twelve taels per sedan, everyone in our village has money now, half of them have returned on the first day, and it will only be a matter of time before they return their money;

Ben is back. One more person in the back is worth 200 cents. Two or three people come every month, which is at least six taels of silver a year. Six cents of silver comes in without having to worry about anything. How could such a good thing happen to Hu Wenhua? On the head! "

Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia didn't expect to earn much money from the sedan chair. They got back half of their money today, but basically all the men and women of marriageable age were included. They still don't know when they can get married, and it's impossible to rent a sedan chair. When going to other villages, people in this village can only earn so much.

However, judging from the current trend, the sedan chair can not only repay the cost, but also maybe make a little profit. This is something they did not expect, but it is not bad.

After all, no one cares about having too much money. Being able to earn money and be useful is better than leaving it to gather dust.

Zhang Chunhua's face was dark, and in the cheerful atmosphere, only she and her husband felt uncomfortable.

·

Because it was a new house for getting married, the furniture, pots, pans and other items originally in Niutou Town had been washed away and soaked in feces and water for several days due to floods. After not going back for such a long time, I had no choice but to not take them anymore, so everything in the new house was Everything needs to be re-arranged inside and out.

After the house was built, the stove was built and a bed was made. Then Hu's mother and Hu's father moved in, slowly adding other things while living there.

Then we dug a well in the yard. There is a public well in the village, but it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth. Secondly, we have to queue up, which takes a long time. It is always inconvenient to use water.

The old village chief said that he would use the money saved in the village to build a public well for their land. However, in order to take care of all the families on the land, the public well had to be located in the middle. In the end, he decided to build it in his own yard. A well costs one or two taels of silver, but it is really convenient!

When the Hu family invited people to come over to dig a well, the old village chief also dug a well for his family. Master Fan Qi, Aunt Li, Mrs. Wu and other families lined up to make a reservation.

The carpenter was invited to come to the house and he built the cabinets, tables, chairs, beds, buckets, wooden barrels, basins... Fortunately, they were all finished before August.

Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles, thread, brains, etc. were all bought when I went to Fucheng to collect wool.

Whenever this happens, Butcher Hu always laments the benefits of having a car and money, it is so convenient!

The weather in August was already very hot. Meat could not be stored for long, and vegetables could not be prepared too far in advance. As for Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia’s wedding, it was foreseeable that the whole village would attend, so Shuiqing left the toothbrush shop for a day. Half fake.

On the afternoon of the 25th, during the holiday, Da Ni and Er Ni brought their eleven new wives to help. The other women in the toothbrush shop, who were friends with Hu's mother or had a good relationship with Qin Yi, Lin and Ding Jiajia, all took the initiative to help.

Because they were in the same village, the Ding family had a small population and had no plans to host a wedding banquet, so no matter which family they had a good relationship with, they eventually went to the Hu family to help.

On the 25th, vegetables were collected from the vegetable field, washed and drained;

The study room where the dishes and chopsticks are used is in the public room, which is very convenient. They were moved there and cleaned in the afternoon;

In the evening, the pigs and sheep are slaughtered. Because the weather is too hot, they cannot be stored. The pigs, heads, trotters, etc. are all braised. After braised, they are soaked in the stewed soup to soak in the flavor. They can be cut into plates directly the next day. The rest of the fresh pork is It is put into the well water and immersed in it;

The mutton and haggis are also stewed in a large iron pot. After the fire is boiled, turn to charcoal fire and simmer slowly;

For fried foods, fry the first one in the evening to set the shape, and then fry the next one before serving it on the table;

After dinner, the person who asked to borrow the table and chairs in advance sent the table and chairs over in advance and placed them in the courtyard of the house;

All the ingredients that could be prepared were prepared in advance. On the morning of the 26th, when it was impossible to prepare, all the women who helped the workers came at dawn. Some of the fifty or sixty women were killing geese and rabbits, and they were arranged. There are bowls and chopsticks, there are those who prepare cold dishes, there are those who fry and stir-fry...

The Ding family got up at dawn.

Their family does not need to prepare a formal banquet today, but girls who are close to Ding Jiajia will come over in the morning, and they have to prepare tea, cakes, wedding candies and the like.

Aunt Wu was twisting noodles for Ding Jiajia, and Yan Qiuxing was supposed to be at Hu's house when she returned to Wanxia, ​​but they liked Ding Jiajia better, so they stayed with her in the boudoir.

After a while, Zhang Xiaocao, Li Tiantian, Fanxiang and other young girls all arrived, and the originally spacious boudoir immediately seemed crowded. After a while, all the women who were not helping the Hu family came to celebrate the occasion.

For a time, the Ding family's house was crowded inside and outside. Qin Yilin was so busy that her feet didn't even touch the floor;

Ding Heli did not hesitate to make more concessions, making tea, heating hot water, moving chairs... All the sadness and reluctance of getting up early were thrown out of the window, and he wished he could have eight hands now!

I still suffered from my inexperience. I originally thought that they wouldn’t have a formal banquet and wouldn’t need to invite people, but I didn’t expect that they would be so busy in the morning alone!

Then I thought about how busy their family would be if they already had such a large family. They had to hold a wedding banquet and find men to carry the sedan chair and welcome the bride.

The Hu family was really busy, and most of the female relatives went to the Ding family, but almost all the men came to the Hu family.

Especially the children. Because Hu Wenhua was getting married, Fan Jin, the brother-in-law, could not be absent, so he gave the children a holiday. There was a happy event in the village, especially when the whole village participated. The children circled around the Hu family as if it were a Chinese New Year. Can’t wait to follow the sedan to see the bride!

Fortunately, today's Shanshui Village is divided into three parts. The Shuiqing side is a small world of its own. Shanshui Village has a large number of people and is crowded. Now a group of people have been assigned to the new village, and only two or three families have moved to the new village so far. It is spacious and there are few people, so it can be used freely.

The sun was gradually rising, and people in the village had already come to send congratulatory gifts, waiting to watch the wedding ceremony.

The old people were too weak to follow the wedding procession and sat down after giving them gifts. The same was true for Zhang Chunhua and Fan Dazhu, but they were afraid that they would not have a seat when they arrived later.

Unlike the generous gifts given by others, this family only gave ten eggs and then occupied the best position in the house.

The old village chief Fan Qiye and Granny Xu frowned deeply. Finally, Fan Qiye, who was also from the same family, couldn't help but stand up. He stepped forward to remind his parents that the table was made by the newlyweds. The four of them reluctantly got up. He quickly took the main seat at the table next to him.

Fan Qiye shook his head and returned to his table.

That's it for this family.

When the time came, Hu Wenhua, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and surrounded by many brothers who had put on new clothes, walked at the front and was about to marry the woman he would spend his whole life with.
