Chapter 252 Preparations for the Wedding Banquet

It was drizzling, 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 would have turned off the lights and gone to bed, but today everyone was lighting up oil lamps that they usually couldn't bear to part with. At a glance, thousands of houses were brightly lit, and people were walking around, making the atmosphere very lively.

Especially the Lin family's new house is decorated with lanterns and lanterns every few meters. The courtyard inside the wall is decorated with festive red silk and satin. The lights are brightly lit, making the whole house even more brilliant and gorgeous.

.

That night, Jiang Yan was very busy, and the women in charge of the next day's banquet were also busy. In the wide courtyard, there were a group of women surrounding every other place, chatting about the gossip of the village.

, while quickly washing rice and preparing vegetables.

The dishes prepared in advance were moved to the stove, and the banquet was set up in the open courtyard. The weather was cold, so in order to facilitate the serving and to let everyone eat the steaming dishes, Jiang Yan directly asked people to sit in the courtyard.

A few simple stoves were set up, and the large iron pot was washed cleanly, ready to be used to heat oil at any time.

In the second half 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. The two groom-to-bes, Lin Dong and Lin Nan, were simply too excited, and Jiang Yan, as a family member

The master was also not asleep.

Early in the morning.

The rooster in the chicken coop fluttered its wings and crowed a few times. The sky was slightly bright. Song Tao, who had just squinted for less than an hour, started to work with the others, placing the tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the village neatly and regularly in the yard.

.

There were so many people eating at the table today that we borrowed the entire village to get nearly a hundred tables and chairs. If we couldn’t fit them in the yard, we put them around the corridor. It wasn’t full yet, but just looking at the benches arranged in an orderly manner

The wooden table makes the scene particularly spectacular.

In the main room, everyone in the Lin family got up. Xiaodouzi, who was sleeping in a daze, got off the bed, squinted his eyes and walked towards Jiang Yan.

When the old house was just built, Jiang Yan gave Xiaodouzi a separate bed and let him sleep by himself. But after the end of autumn, the weather was too cold, so the little guy slept with his parents again. Last night, Wang Jinhua went to the old house.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong was busy all night again, and the little guy slept alone in Jiang Yan's room.

"Grandma, where has Dad gone?"

The little guy rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily. He didn't rely on Lin Dong that much, but he was just curious about what the groom's officer was like. He heard that the groom's officers all rode big horses. He wanted to be the first to see his father at least.

appearance.

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

"Come on, come on." Jiang Yan ran over in a few steps and opened the door first. Xiao Linzi and Coyotito immediately ran into the house, looking over and over at the beautiful room and excitedly showing off their new clothes to Xiaodouzi.

Except for the two children, everyone in the Lin family put on new clothes today. Jiang Yan also bought herself a bright red winter coat, which is low-key and luxurious. Her face already has a bit of delicacy, and this dress accentuates it.

Reserved and elegant.

Jiang Yan rubbed Xiaodouzi's head and put him in a bright red brocade robe. The already cute little guy was made even more blessed and adorable.

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

His face couldn't help but turn red.

This is the first time he has entered someone else's boudoir!

"Xiaodouzi, your clothes look great and you are so cute."

The two children looked up and down at Xiaodouzi, who was dressed like a little Fuwa. They pulled him with excitement and praised him without hesitation. They touched him here and pinched him. They were very excited.

"You guys take Xiaodouzi with you first, I'll go to the boss and the second child 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 themselves in the bathroom, and put on the wedding clothes that they had prepared long ago. Because they didn't know how to tie their hair, Tao Bai had been waiting aside early to put on the wedding clothes.

The two people's long hair was tied into a bun, and was firmly stuck with a luxurious jade-inlaid crown. The hair was meticulously tied up, revealing the full forehead.

When Jiang Yan arrived, the two of them were tying up their hair. Their bright red wedding clothes set off their majestic looks. Their former burly bodies and rough appearance made them even more attractive.

"Mom! You're here." The two of them looked nervous. It was obviously a cold day in winter, but they were so nervous that they were sweating and walked hand in hand.

"See you're 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, go make arrangements for those people who are getting married, and let them get married as soon as possible.

Change your clothes and have your money ready, so don't waste time."

Although it saves a lot of procedures, the wedding ceremony is still required. According to custom, the groom must bring several brothers from his family, commonly known as the groomsmen, when getting married.

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

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

"I'll go right away!" Tao Bai, who was also wearing new clothes, exited the room with a smile on his face and went to call for someone at the top of his lungs.

Jiang Yan took out her concealer, asked the two of them to close their eyes, and used a brush to gently cover their obvious dark eyes. She had barely slept in the past few days, and her dark circles were worse than those of her two sons.

I wanted it to be obvious, so I bought concealer early.

Farmers have darker skin tones. They work hard all year round, so they are a little rough, but their skin is firm and there are not many obvious marks on their faces. Apply some lotion and concealer, and their fatigue will be gone.

"Mom, this thing is quite easy to use. The pimples I had suddenly appeared in the past two days have been covered up and are no longer visible at all!" Lin Nan excitedly looked at the bronze mirror and repeatedly checked it because he was too concerned about this pimple.

He had been squeezing the acne for a long time last night, but he didn't expect that as soon as his mother took action, he couldn't see it anymore.

Jiang Yan patted his shoulder. This ancient bronze mirror was very hazy. It still had some shallow marks in reality, but it was much better than the red look just now.

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

Jiang Yan looked at the two people who were much taller than her and had mixed feelings for a while. Although she didn't get along with them for a long time, she had experienced a lot during this time. She had long treated them as her own sons.

Now that she is watching them get married, she feels like her son has grown up.
