Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

Seeing that Sister Jiang was shocked, Bu Dafang felt that it was not enough, so he continued to say with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my uncle's family has reclaimed the mountains they just received not long ago into an orchard. According to my uncle's wishes, we may need to recruit people next year. People came to help look after the orchard, and the wages were quite high. My Ahu now had nothing else to do except work in the fields, so I thought about asking him to help my uncle manage the orchard.

Sister-in-law, if my Ahu is not at home from now on, you have to help me with anything! "

Sister-in-law Jiang suppressed the shock in her heart and asked, "Dafang, is everything you said true?"

Bu Dafang nodded and said: "Of course it is true, can this kind of thing be used as a joke?"

Sister-in-law Jiang thought about it, and immediately turned around and went into the house, brought out a few pieces of cabbage belly (radish belly, one of the most common pickles in Bobai), and said: "I brought this back from my parents' house not long ago. How many strips do you have?" Go back and have porridge."

Bu Dafang was shocked when she saw this. Her sister-in-law was a famous iron chicken man. She had been married to the Jiang family for three years. Apart from the unavoidable human interactions, she couldn't even think of getting anything from this sister-in-law in her spare time. Get it in your hand.

But today, for the first time, her sister-in-law brought her some pork belly, which simply refreshed Bu Dafang's understanding of her.

Bu Dafang declined: "Sister-in-law, you can keep this to eat. I still have pickles at home."

Sister-in-law Jiang said with a smile: "You can change the taste if you have pickles. It's not a valuable thing anyway, and it can't be compared with the bowl of vegetables you brought here."

Bu Dafang saw that she was really giving it, so he took it and said: "Sister-in-law is joking, what's the comparison? Then I'll take it back to drink porridge. I haven't eaten pork belly for a while, and I'm a little greedy!"

The two of them greeted each other politely, and then Bu Dafang returned to the house with the pork belly given by his sister-in-law.

They lived under the same roof. Jiang Dehu heard the conversation between Bu Dafang and Sister Jiang. Seeing his wife come in, he lowered his voice and asked, "Dafang, what you just said to Sister Jiang is true?"

Bu Dafang took a clean bowl and put the pork belly in, and said, "Of course it's true. Didn't I tell you about the situation at my uncle's house?"

"Dafang, that's not what I'm asking."

"You want to ask about working in the orchard?"

Jiang Dehu nodded and said: "Yes, I want to ask if this is true? Does uncle really want to ask someone to help manage the orchard?"

Bu Dafang said: "Of course it is true. I heard from my uncle that lychee trees will be planted in the early spring of next year. After all the lychee seedlings are planted, someone will be hired to manage them. The variety of lychees planted by my uncle is called Guiwei. This is not like That kind of straight-growing lychee tree doesn't need to be managed and allowed to grow naturally. Instead, it needs watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc. I don't know the details, but I heard from my uncle that there are a lot of things that need to be done, and two people have to be hired. Just help with the work."

Jiang Dehu was moved when he heard this and said: "Dafang, did you tell your uncle that you want me to help in the orchard?"

In rural areas of this era, there is nowhere to make money. Although he doesn’t know how much money he can earn by working in his uncle’s orchard, as long as there is a place to make money, no matter how much or how little he earns, he is willing to go. It is better than staying at home and farming. You have to be strong if you can't make a dime from the land.

"Of course I said it, and uncle agreed!"

Seeing the joy on her husband's face, Bu Dafang quickly warned: "Jiang Dehu, I'll say the ugly things first. When you go to help your uncle next year, you must work hard and don't be lazy. If you dare to embarrass me, , no matter what good things happen to my uncle in the future, it will never be your share!"

Jiang Dehu repeatedly promised: "Dafang, I'm not a big fan, I know what to do."

Bu Dafang then smiled and said: "Well, as long as you know what's going on, I'll cook for you first. You don't know that the banquet held at my uncle's house today really opened everyone's eyes... Then Spicy crab...and steamed mudworm..."

Today's banquet was an eye-opener for all the guests. Bu Dafang couldn't say much to her sister-in-law just now, but in front of her husband, she was able to explain it in detail.

……

Deng Shirong's two brothers-in-law, after each returning with three tables of leftovers, unanimously gave away about one-third of the dishes for their wives to take back to their parents' home.

These are all delicious hard dishes. Deng Yuntai's eldest aunt and second aunt were naturally smiling. Even though it was getting late, they still carried several bags of dishes and hurriedly walked towards their parents' home.

at the same time.

As relatives and friends returned home from today’s banquet, the news slowly spread!

Wedding banquets in this era generally receive the most attention from three aspects:

First, how much is the woman’s dowry?How much does it cost to press the box?

Second, how many tables were set up for the banquet?What distinguished guests have come?

Third, how many hard dishes are there in the banquet?Is the portion of the dish sufficient?Does it taste good?

As for the wedding banquet of Deng Shirong's family today, these three aspects made the guests talk about it.

The first is the woman’s dowry. Knowing that Zhang Xiuping married well, the woman’s relatives were extremely generous and collected a large amount of dowry for the bride Zhang Xiuping. Even though the valuable dowry was not much, the amount was still quite respectable. of.

And the 380 yuan for pressing the box also amazed all the guests present.

Due to Deng Shirong's good confidentiality work, almost no customer knew that the money in the box was actually given by him and not by the woman's parents.

A total of fifteen tables were set up for today's banquet, which also caused quite a stir when word spread.

Of course, the most shocking thing is the dishes at today’s banquet. Not only are there many dishes and large portions, but I still don’t know how to describe the taste. Through word of mouth from the guests, the wine served by Deng Shirong’s family has become a rural favorite. The benchmark for banquets.

From today on, whenever people from all over the country mention the word banquet, the banquet in Deng Shirong's family will be a mountain that they can never get around.

……

Having a wedding ceremony is an inevitable part of marriage.

In later generations, because some people did not have the slightest sense of propriety during the wedding ceremony, they turned false embarrassments into real embarrassments and completely brought trouble to the bride and groom. As a result, the festive custom of having a wedding ceremony gradually turned into a bad habit that most people hate when mentioned.

It is not uncommon to even take advantage of the bride or the bridesmaid in the name of having a wedding.

The most exaggerated thing is that people were killed during the wedding ceremony, and bridesmaids were raped...

Marriage in this era also included wedding ceremonies, but nowadays it is usually people in the village who make the nuisance, and everyone is more measured and will not make it so exaggerated.

In particular, even though Deng Yuntai is young, people of the same age as him are basically one or two generations below him. Who dares to really make trouble unscrupulously?

Therefore, at night, the young people in the village just came over to have a little fun. When they saw that it was getting late, they left one by one, leaving their precious time to the newlyweds Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping.
