Joe's Farming

During dinner, Gu Gang imitated what Qiao Yu had taught him and asked Hongxiu if she was willing to marry him early and build a new house next year.

Hongxiu blushed and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Gu Gang found a matchmaker from the next village, gave a betrothal gift of 20 taels, and married Hongxiu three days later on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

For a while, the idle Gu family courtyard became busy again.

Gu Feng and Qiao Yu first took their elder brother and Hong Xiu to the government to change their household registration, and then went to buy wedding clothes, quilts and a series of wedding supplies.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng’s previous wedding banquet didn’t take place, but this time they really enjoyed it.

Qiao Yu, who just returned home in the evening, leaned on her husband tiredly.

"Luckily we didn't have a wedding banquet. It was really exhausting, my God."

Gu Feng smiled dotingly and said nothing.

When the carriage passed Shangtian Village, Qiao Yu went to find Xiaobai and asked him to come to his house to help in the next few days.

The bruises on Xiaobai's face have faded a lot and he looks much better.

Bai Lan was also happy for Hong Xiu, who lived with her. Her deft hands cut many beautiful wedding characters for her.

Da Zhuang looked at the big red lanterns and happiness characters all over the garden with envy.

"When can I get married like this?"

Su Qing knocked him on the head.

"You haven't redeemed yourself yet, but you're already thinking about getting married? You should work hard to repay your employer."

Da Zhuang touched his head and said awkwardly: "I just said that, I will definitely work hard. Don't you want to get married?"

Su Qing lowered her eyes, her tone somewhat negative: "I don't like men, why would I want to get married?"

Da Zhuang asked in confusion: "If you don't like men, you can find a woman to marry. Don't you even like girls?"

Su Qing was stunned. She had always made up her mind not to marry in this life, but she never thought that her brother was also a man and could get married.

However, he is still the boss's man, so he didn't think too much about it.

"talk later."

Qiao Yu attached great importance to this happy event in his family. The three children were assigned tasks. They didn't have to learn to read for a few days and went to the village to distribute invitations.

The village chief's house, Wen Ge'er's parents' house, Li Li's parents' house, and other families who supplied him with goods.

Anyone I know will also be invited, as long as they are not from the Qiao family or old lady Li’s family.

Gu Feng went to the village ancestral hall and borrowed ten tables, as well as pots, pans, and utensils, all of which he had to return later.

The snack bar was closed again on the 18th.

Customers outside the store saw the "temporarily closed" notice again and said angrily: "What's wrong with this family? They close down at the drop of a hat!"

The boss of the wonton shop next door hurriedly explained: "Look below, it says the reason. My brother is getting married. We'll just take a break today, and you can enjoy it tomorrow!"

The customer felt better after hearing this. "Forget it, let's have wontons today."

Outside the window, gongs and drums were beating loudly. Hongxiu was sitting on the bed with a red veil covering her head, waiting for the groom to come and pick her up.

Although it’s only two steps, the sense of ceremony is still necessary.

Qiao Yu, Xu Ning, Bai Lan, Xiao Bai and the children blocked the door tightly and asked Gu Gang many tricky questions.

Gu Feng, who helped Gu Gang pick up the bride, never knew that her husband was so mean.

Wang Jie was even more grateful that he was not embarrassed by Qiao Yu when he went to pick up the bride.

Xu Yuan stood far away to the side. He didn't have much strength to begin with, so he decided not to squeeze in.

After finally letting people in, one of the bride's shoes was missing!

Gu Gang began to search for a long time again, sweating profusely. Qiao Yu swore that the shoes must be in the bedroom.

Gu Gang searched for half an hour but still found nothing. Finally, he simply picked up the bride and carried her back to his room amid the cheers from the people around him.

"Hahahaha." Qiao Yu laughed so hard. This was something he learned in his previous life. He didn't understand the specific meaning, but it was just a test for the groom.

The bridesmaid shouted at the side: "Come back! We haven't even gotten married yet!"

"Hahahaha"

"Hahaha"

Gu Gang embarrassedly carried the person back, and Qiao Yu took out the hidden shoes and handed them to Gu Gang. He took out some cotton from Hong Xiu's pillow and stuffed it inside, so that it could not be felt even if one felt carefully.

Gu Feng really admires his husband.

Hongxiu wanted to tell Gu Gang where the shoes were, but she really didn't know. Qiao Yu called all of them out and hid them herself.

……

Gu Gang carried the bridesmaid to the center of the yard, first stepped over the fire basin, and then listened to the bridesmaid's words, first bowing to heaven and earth, and then to his parents.

Both of their parents had passed away, so they bowed to heaven and earth again, and finally bowed to each other as husband and wife.

Gu Feng held Qiao Yu's hand and squeezed it quietly.

Qiao Yuhui shook his hand and they smiled at each other.

Then the ceremony was over and the wedding banquet began.

Qiao Yu and his wife began to busy themselves with greeting the guests. Gu Gang toasted at each table in turn. Although he didn't know any of these people except Xu Yuan and his wife and Aunt Shi's family, since these people came to attend his wedding banquet, they were guests who came to congratulate him.

The village chief smiled and said auspicious words. When Gu Feng first came, he let him settle in Shangtian Village purely out of pity. Unexpectedly, he has become the richest man in the village at such a young age. It is said that he is doing business with the richest man in the town.

"You are Gu's biological brother, welcome to settle down in our Shangtian Village! Gu and Qiao are capable, I hope you and your wife can live a prosperous life in our village in the future!"

Gu Gang drank the wine with a smile and said loudly: "Okay!"

In the end, almost everyone in the village who knew Qiao Yu and Gu Feng a little bit came. They brought some eggs, rice, noodles and other things, and Qiao Yu was overwhelmed with gifts.

Bai Lan looked at the gifts Qiao Yu received and said with some heartache: "It's too cost-effective for a family to just take a few eggs and two pounds of noodles and eat a big table of fish and meat."

Qiao Yu smiled when she heard this: "It's okay, I just wanted to invite everyone to have some fun. Anyway, we don't lack these delicious fish and meat at home."

Bai Lan blushed. Since the boss wasn't unhappy, what right did she have to say that? She lowered her head to clean up the dishes and washed them as soon as possible and returned them.

He had prepared today's wedding banquet menu long ago. Their signature braised dishes were indispensable, as well as five cold dishes, three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

The hot dishes are all meat, including braised pork, boiled fish, braised chicken, pickled pepper rabbit, and stewed pig's trotters.

Fortunately, he invited the aunt today, and added Wen Ge'er, Bai Lan, Su Qing and others to help, otherwise he might not be able to entertain them all!

The banquet lasted until sunset.

Gu Gang drank a lot and his face turned pale.

Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng worriedly, "Is your brother okay? He has only recovered for a few days, and you didn't try to stop him just now."

Gu Feng has been smiling all day: "It's okay, he's happy. I'm watching him, nothing will happen."

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning also drank until their faces were red, so Qiao Yu hurried to the kitchen to cook some hangover soup for them.

Add a little Pueraria root to honey and it tastes delicious and can help to sober up.

By now most of the guests had left, leaving only the people who came to help out in the snack bar.

Qiao Yu distributed the hangover soup and gave red envelopes to everyone who came to help. The red envelope from Aunt Shi was given directly to Wen Ge'er, who was asked to take it home.

Qiao Yu also packed up some of the leftover dishes from the wedding banquet and shared them with Wen Ge'er and Xiao Bai. They were all leftover dishes from cooking too much. Of those that were served, not a single dish was left over, which showed that his family's wedding banquet was very popular.

Xiaobai happily went out with Wen Ge'er.

Bai Lan, Su Qing and Da Zhuang were still cleaning up. After Qiao Yu finished, he remembered that he had forgotten to bring food to the bride. She must be starving.

Gu Feng quickly grabbed him and said, "My brother sent it a long time ago. I saw you were busy, so I didn't tell you."

Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows: "Hey, that's good, that's good, no one saw it, right?"

Gu Feng smiled: "What are you thinking about? Big brother asked Xue Bao to send it."

Qiao Yu hurriedly smoothed his chest and said, "Okay, okay, I have to prepare red envelopes for the children. I'm really confused because it's my first time to hold a wedding."

Gu Feng's eyes softened, and he asked softly, "Qiao'er, shall we hold a wedding banquet as well?"

Qiao Yu quickly widened her eyes and said, "Oh no! Goodbye, goodbye. We don't need it. If you really want to do it, wait until I recover. At least I don't want to be so tired this winter."

Gu Feng felt a little disappointed, but he also felt sorry for his husband. This wedding banquet was indeed exhausting.

"Okay, then we won't do it."

Mr. and Mrs. Xu Yuan rested for a while and then planned to leave.

They handed the gift to Gu Gang and said many auspicious words, mainly said by Xu Yuan, and Xu Ning echoed him.

Gu Gang values ​​this couple very much. If it weren’t for the famous doctor Jiang they hired, he would not have recovered so quickly.

The whole family sent Xu Yuan and his wife to the carriage before returning to the yard.

The sky gradually darkened, and the wedding night of Gu Gang and Hong Xiu had just begun.
