Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Yongbai's daughter-in-law Cuiping
Changping Village.

After breakfast the next day, Yang Ruoqing went to her natal family next door.

Tomorrow is a good day for Uncle Wu's family to marry a wife. Starting from lunch today, there will be no fire in every room of Lao Yang's house, and everyone, big and small, will have to go to the fifth room for dinner.

The men have to help prepare for tomorrow's wedding, while the women have to take care of the kitchen and banquet, and arrange the wedding room.

When Yang Ruoqing entered the room, she found Liao Meiying, Eighth Sister Ling, Zhao Liuer, and Yongbai's wife were all there.

The big guy was discussing with Mrs. Sun about going to the fifth room later. Not only did he need to bring an apron and a kitchen knife to help, but as a relative of his own, he also had to give congratulatory gifts.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming in, everyone greeted Yang Ruoqing one after another.

Yang Ruoqing first greeted the three sister-in-laws, and then smiled at Yongbai's wife, which was considered a greeting.

Sorry, she has heard of Yongbai's daughter-in-law's last name before. After getting married, the young couple has been doing small business in Fenglin Town, the daughter-in-law's natal home, and rarely returned to Changping Village.

Even if they went back to Changping Village, they would always stay at the little old Yang's house in the south of the village, and they didn't move around at all with the old Yang's house, and they only got together on special festivals like this.

Xiaohua's sharp eyes saw that Yang Ruoqing probably couldn't call Yongbai's wife's name, so she said to Yang Ruoqing, "Sister, some sisters-in-laws come here and ask their mothers to send congratulatory gifts to Fifth Uncle's house. The sister's share is also brought over."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that Yongbai's wife's name was Cuiping.

She smiled gratefully at Xiao Hua, "Well, since Cuiping gave it to Sister Lan'er, I won't take it."

Here, Mrs. Sun and Liao Meiying drank tea for a while, and the discussion was almost done, and they invited them to get up and go to the fifth room.

In fact, how many congratulatory gifts to send, the big guys talked about it in private a few days ago.

Yang Ruoqing also got up and followed them. As soon as she walked out of the main room, she saw Yang Huamei and Sanya coming in side by side.

The three girls are now taller than Yang Huamei. The eyebrows and eyes of the aunt and nephew are somewhat similar, and they are all descended from the old Yang family. Delicate and tender flowers, Yang Huamei is just a yellowed withered leaf.

"Sister-in-law three, are you going to sister-in-law five? Let's go together!" Yang Huamei walked a few steps quickly and greeted her loudly.

Mrs. Sun smiled, looked at Sanya again, and nodded, all that should have arrived today have arrived.

Ju'er and Xiaoduo must give presents when they come to have a wedding tomorrow, so the big guys went to the fifth room opposite.

The men had already come here, and they were checking the house with Yang Huazhou in and out of the yard, counting the tables, chairs and benches, discussing the matter of welcoming the bride tomorrow, arranging who will receive the dowry, who will drink, and who will accompany the drink.

"Fourth brother, you have a good drinker capacity, and you will come here, and then you will have to go to the Jiang family's table!" Yang Huazhou said.

Yang Huaming raised his hand and patted his chest: "Don't worry, wrap it on me, and I will help you greet your in-laws properly."

Dabao interjected weakly: "Father, fourth uncle, I'm afraid there will be more than one table for my uncle at my father-in-law's house, and there will be two companions..."

Yang Huaming laughed, and said to Dabao: "It's easy to handle, your second and third brothers can just pick up any of them because they are good drinkers."

Yang Yongzhi waved his hands and said, "Fourth uncle, don't push me. I don't know how to persuade you to drink. Let my second brother go."

Yang Yongjin smiled and said: "To accompany Jiang's family, we have to let someone who is important in our old Yang family go, third uncle, go, I am not enough."

Yang Huazhou said: "Your third uncle can't do it. He has to carry the jug and lead Dabao to the table to accompany him. I have to go to the table of old relatives to say hello. Among the third generation of us, Da'an is the most important person in terms of knowledge. , but Daan is not good at drinking, and this kind of occasion is not suitable for him, according to his age, the longest one is Yongxian, and Yongxian has not returned, so after all, you are the only one!"

Yang Huaming patted Yang Yongjin's shoulder heavily: "Yongjin, don't refuse, our uncle and nephew will have to support the scene tomorrow, don't embarrass our old Yang family!"

At this point, Yang Yongjin could no longer refuse, so he had no choice but to accept this heavyweight job with a nod.

The men went on to assign other errands, checking each season to ensure that tomorrow's wedding banquet went smoothly and successfully.

The women just happened to pass by, and when they heard about the men's allocation of drinks, the eighth younger sister jokingly said, "Yeah, tomorrow Yongjin will probably drink so much that he can't figure out which direction the door of the house is opening."

Zhao Liu'er smiled and said: "Second brother, those who are capable will do more work."

Sun also said: "Among the remaining brothers in the family, he is the oldest and the most stable. At this time, it's time to help his fifth uncle share the burden."

Ling Bamei nodded, and the group went to the backyard.

Both Bao Suyun and Mianmianniang were in Dabao's wedding room, Mianmian was sitting at the table with piles of presents, a booklet was spread out in front of Mianmian, and she was writing and drawing stroke by stroke on it.

Bao Suyun was standing by the wedding bed, arranging the wedding things such as peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds.

While tidying up, she told Mianmian: "When people from the village come to congratulate, you have to write it down carefully in the booklet. Don't remember wrongly. These are all human favors, and they come to congratulate only when they think highly of our family. If someone else's family has a happy event, we have to return this favor..."

"Cough cough..."

When Mrs. Sun reached the door of the house, she stopped and deliberately coughed twice.

The table happened to be facing the door, Mian Mian raised her head and saw the Sun family appearing at the door of the house, she was pleasantly surprised: "Mother, Sanma and aunts and sisters-in-law are here."

Bao Suyun turned around, saw the large army, and hurried out the door with a smile.

Mrs. Sun and Yang Huamei directly explained their intentions and presented their respective congratulatory gifts.

Sun said: "Duo'er and Ju'er will come in person tomorrow, Lan'er is far away from Xiushui Town and can't make it back, so I asked Cuiping to send her thoughts."

Bao Suyun was flattered, and looked at everyone in front of him one by one, "We are all a family. If you can come to eat, drink, and help, the fifth child and I will be overjoyed. Why are we still getting gifts? It's too strange... ..."

Sun pressed Bao Suyun's hand and said: "It's not called seeing outsiders. We watched Dabao grow up. Now he married a wife and started a family. It's such a happy event. Why don't we express it."

Yang Huamei also echoed: "I didn't take any rare things, just a little thought, Wu sister-in-law, please accept it."

Several other nieces and daughters-in-law also responded one after another.

Yang Ruoqing stood aside from the beginning to the end, listening with a smile.

She was the one who accompanied Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt on a blind date.

The scene of that day is still vivid in my memory. Later, I saw Dabao, a little boy with a sallow complexion, only two years old, with big timid eyes. I didn’t know how happy I was to eat a bowl of wontons, as if it was a delicacy from mountains and seas.
