Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens
Chapter 227 Prepare in advance
Yu Ting ate two bowls of tomato and egg noodles happily, but before he could rest, Xiao Yi sent him out again.
Take Jiang Yan to the provincial capital to see her face.
So, Yu Ting hurriedly rode his bicycle and took Jiang Yan there, and Jiang Xu also went with them.
In fact, Jiang Xu didn't really want to, but he was exiled by his uncle.
Ji Qinglan looked at Xiao Yi with a teasing look. Xiao Yi had already calculated that Yu Ting would come over, and deliberately left Jiang Yan out to teach her a lesson. Poor Jiang Yan didn't understand, and her eyes were swollen like peaches.
Xiao Yi explained: "I just want her to calm down. If you act impulsively, you will suffer losses sooner or later."
"I understand, I understand." Ji Qinglan nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Yi knew that Ji Qinglan didn't believe it, but as long as she was happy, it was fine.
Xiao Shuyan stayed and offered to help clean up the dishes, and Ji Qinglan did not refuse his kindness.
Just after lunch, Niu Guixiang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came over, along with Luo Xiumei and the captain's wife. The four of them brought their own kitchen knives, cutting boards, sugar bowls, bowls and chopsticks.
They have to prepare the dishes for tomorrow in advance.
Ji Qinglan made the dishes at tomorrow's wedding banquet more luxurious than those at the engagement banquet.
A steamer is also needed, and they have to prepare it one day in advance.
They used door panels to build a simple table in the yard, and the four people sat on stools and began to cut the pork.
Zhang Jianguo carried a large iron pot on his back, and came in with a brother carrying a large bucket on a shoulder pole. The bucket contained a dozen fish, which would be used tomorrow. Ji Qinglan asked him to catch them in the Red River in advance.
Because the fish was used twice in a row, some people in the Honghe Brigade were dissatisfied and accused Ji Qinglan of taking advantage of the collective. Ji Qinglan said nothing and directly gave money to the brigade to buy it.
Li Changlin and Secretary Zhang took it with a smile and decided to be like Ji Qinglan in the future, if anyone needed fish, they would bring money to buy it.
Just like that, the team members hated those gossipy women. On weekdays, who doesn't go fishing to satisfy their hunger? Who doesn't marry a daughter? Whoever uses the fish gets to fish. It has been a rule for decades. Now they have to pay for it.
Those who try to take advantage of others must be scolded to death.
Why do you care so much? The money won't go into your pocket, and you will have to pay for the fish in the future.
Afterwards, the two began to build a stove with stones in the northwest corner of the yard.
Liu Yumei took a bunch of big red wedding characters that she had cut in advance and went into the kitchen. When she saw Xiao Yi, she couldn't help but smile: "Oh! The groom is back, congratulations."
"Sister Liu, you're here. Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yi nodded and greeted her.
Liu Yumei grabbed some glutinous rice and put it into the pot to cook, preparing to make glutinous rice paste.
While pulling the bellows, she did not forget to tease Xiao Yi, "You are such an easy groom. You don't have to do anything. You can just come back and be the groom."
Xiao Yi knew that this was Liu Yumei expressing her dissatisfaction. Ji Qinglan was in charge of all the marriage matters, and he was still in Yanjing and could do nothing about it.
This is an indisputable fact. Xiao Yi had no choice but to apologize sincerely, "It's all my fault. Qing Lan took care of everything."
"That's good to know. You must treat Qinglan well in the future and be good to her for the rest of your life." Liu Yumei said. Xiao Yi was far away and might not know how those gossipy women in the village criticized Qinglan.
They said that she had found another man who was willing to pay for her services, like Liang Qian, who knew nothing and didn't care about anything. He was just a grown man waiting for a woman to serve him.
Although the men in every household in the Honghe Brigade are grown men, it does not stop these gossipy women from making fun of other people's affairs.
They were also jealous. Every family in Honghe Brigade had to go through a lot of trouble to marry a daughter-in-law, from inviting a matchmaker to seeing each other, from engagement to marriage, those who didn't have a house had to build one, give a betrothal gift, buy three-wheeled carriages and a house, and even hold a banquet...
They had to rack their brains for each one, but they still couldn't afford a single leg in three hours.
It’s not easy to get married!
When he didn't have a wife, he begged her. Now that he has a wife, he treats her like grass, scolds her if he wants, and rubs her if he wants.
Ji Qinglan's family has a ready-made house and furniture. I heard that Xiao Yi married into the family without buying anything.
Liu Yumei was extremely angry, but she could do nothing about it. She had a mouth on someone else's body and she kept talking without stopping. Would Qinglan tell these gossips what Xiao Yi had given her?
Xiao Yi works in the city, and his monthly salary is enough for them to dig mud for a year. It is understandable that he can't come back because he is busy with work. Besides, if Ji Qinglan marries Xiao Yi, they will be a working-class family in the future, so their life can't be bad.
These people just say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them, and all they say is sarcastic remarks.
However, when Liu Yumei saw Xiao Yi for the first time, she still wanted to warn him not to be too arrogant.
"Of course, Qinglan and I will be together for the rest of our lives." When Xiao Yi thought about the days to come, his resolute brows could not conceal his tenderness.
Seeing him like this, Liu Yumei curled her lips and acted as if everyone was the same, saying that she and Jianguo would spend their whole lives together.
When the glutinous rice had become paste, Xiao Yi took the initiative to take over the job of pasting the wedding characters, and Xiao Shuyan helped.
Ji Qinglan asked a craftsman in the village to cut the word "happiness" out of red paper. It was a standard double "happiness" character. Although Ji Qinglan was not particular and held the wedding in a perfunctory manner, the necessary ceremony could not be omitted.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Shuyan took the wedding characters and pasted them everywhere. They pasted a pair on the two wooden doors of the main gate, one on the big tree in the yard, one on the grape trellis, and finally on the doors of every house. Of course, as Ji Qinglan and Xiao Yi's new home, Ji Qinglan's house could not be left out.
There are wedding characters pasted on the mirror of the dressing table, the wood of the wardrobe, and the windows.
Once the word "囍" is pasted on, it really looks like the real thing.
Outside, Zhang Jianguo and his brothers built a stove with stones and put up a large iron pot borrowed from the village committee. This was bought when they were together as a group. Later, they disbanded, but they kept the pot.
Nowadays, anyone in the Honghe Brigade who wants to do something big can borrow it.
Xiao Yi put up a wedding character and helped to carry firewood and water, which made Niu Guixiang and others laugh. They told the groom not to do it, saying that the groom should not do this job.
Naturally, Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously. He agreed with a smile and went to help again.
Niu Guixiang, Luo Xiumei and the other two couldn't help but sigh repeatedly when they saw the tall and handsome Xiao Yi. Not only was Xiao Yi good-looking, he also had a job, and most importantly, the young man was very hardworking. In the past few years, every time they saw him, he was either fetching water or chopping wood.
The fire was blazing in the stove, and clear water was poured into the iron pot. Niu Guixiang and the others started to work, killing fish, killing chickens, and cutting meat...
Of course, work requires hands-on movement, and one cannot stop talking. They were discussing Xiang Xiangqing who lived next door.
While Ji Qinglan was helping, he also listened.
Xiang Xiangqing came back last night. No one knew when he came back. Niu Guixiang guessed it was in the middle of the night because he did not go back to his own home, but slept under the window corner of the village committee office.
