Chapter 304 Wedding Banquet

At around nine o'clock, the two carriages for weddings and Sun Aotun's carriages for weddings came to Xiaodongshantun. When they arrived at Huo's house, everyone was waiting outside the gate. When the aunt and Hai Xingjie saw that the car was coming, they all ran over happily and rushed to help Han Mingxiu get out.

Many villagers in Xiaodongshantun were waiting at the gate of the Huo family to see the bride. When they saw Han Mingxiu coming, they all stared at her curiously, just like looking at giant pandas.

Han Mingxiu thought that it was a blessing that she was thick-skinned. If she had been thin-skinned, she would have been embarrassed for everyone.

The young couple walked through the crowd and walked side by side to the old lady. Han Mingxiu said crisply: "Grandma, I'm here."

"Okay, good boy, come and take it." The old lady stuffed a red envelope into Han Mingxiu's hand, and her smile patterns were stacked together with joy.

Han Mingxiu smiled at Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo who were standing aside again: "Uncle, I'm here."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Huo Hongshan hurriedly agreed, signaling his old woman to give the red envelope to Han Mingxiu.

Aunt Huo pulled the corner of her mouth, showed a reluctant smile, handed a red envelope to Han Mingxiu, and said reluctantly, "Take it, give it to you, I will marry you in the future, but remember to be a wife!"

Han Mingxiu smiled on her face and cursed in her heart, "I'll go to your mother's." She still said sweetly, "I understand, thank you aunt!"

Han Mingxiu's sensible and well-behaved quickly won unanimous praise from the onlookers. The fast-mouthed villagers praised him, "Look at Jianfeng's wife, who is sensible, quick and loud, and she is so crisp. She looks generous and slim at first glance, and she is much better than the daughter-in-law married by Ma Erbian's family a few days ago."

"Can you compare? Jianfeng's wife is Sun Aotun's model worker this year. She has represented the entire Sun Aotun'er in the village to attend the commendation conference. What's Ma Erbian's daughter-in-law? She is so squeamish and pretends, and she looks so irritating..."

When Han Mingxiu heard everyone praise her, she pretended to be shy and lowered her head, pretending to be embarrassed.

At this time, a young woman with tilted eyes suddenly inserted her in, "Hey? Why didn't you bring a dowry? I see that there are two quilts and two baskets on your carriage? Why don't you have boxes? Don't other people's daughters get married? Why don't you?"

Han Mingxiu looked over in the voice and saw a young girl looking at her with a bad look. Han Mingxiu was a smart person. When she saw her expression, she knew that this was Huo Jianfeng's crush.

She raised her wrist and exposed the shiny chrysanthemum watch on her wrist, saying, "Who said I didn't bring my dowry anymore? Isn't this here? The chrysanthemum watch is much more valuable than a box."

When the woman with a slanted eyes saw the shiny watch, she couldn't say anything...

She originally wanted to show off that her parents had already made two boxes for her and prepared them as a dowry, but she wanted to use this to make Huo Jianfeng regret it and let Han Mingxiu feel sad. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly showed a watch. Her two proud boxes were probably not worth even the fraction of the watch.

He closed his mouth with a slanted eyes and retreated aside embarrassedly.

Grandma Huo said, "No dowry or not, our family doesn't care about this. As long as our wife is good, it's better than anything else." After that, she grabbed Han Mingxiu's hand and patted her, and said kindly, "Let's go, go in the house, are you all frozen in this car?"

Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm not cold."

The old lady didn't care whether she was cold or not, and pulled her into the house happily.

Aunt Huo did not rush into the house, but stared at the carriage where Han Mingxiu was sitting. Sure enough, she saw that there were only two quilts and two baskets on the carriage. The lid on the basket was still worn with hemp rope, and she couldn't see what was placed in the basket at all.

When he saw that it was packed in a backpack, he knew that it could not be something valuable. Aunt Huo curled his lips and turned around and followed him into the house.

After the group entered the house, they saw the leader's avatar on the north wall of the main hall.

Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng stood side by side in front of the leader's portrait and held a wedding ceremony. This ceremony was to recite a quote and declare an oath, and from then on, they officially became husband and wife.

This ceremony was funny and even ridiculous in Han Mingxiu's eyes. But it was something that soldiers of this era had to do when they got married, otherwise they would be regarded as being disloyal to the party and the revolution, disloyal to the great leader, and they would have to make mistakes if they were reported or found out.

So, even though it felt quite absurd, Han Mingxiu stood in front of the portrait with Huo Jianfeng seriously, recited the quotations loudly, and made an oath...

After the ceremony was completed, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng returned to their bridal chamber.

The Huo family has three and a half houses in total. The old lady lives in one, which is the big house on the east side. This house is also regarded as a main hall.

Then there was a small kitchen, which was only half the size of a room; Huo Hongshan and his wife lived in the house next to the west of the kitchen, and further inside, there was a suite, which was the room of the three little girls in their family.

Before Huo Jianfeng joined the army, he lived in the westernmost suite. The three little girls lived in the same room as Mrs. Huo. When he came back these two times, the three little girls ran to the old lady's house to live in and gave the west room to Huo Jianfeng.

Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxiu's bridal chamber are in the suite of the west room.

The bridal chamber was not cleaned up much, so I just pasted a few clean newspapers on the wall. The kang mat was old and a little torn. There was no curtain hanging on the window, and there was only an old box on the floor and two baskets for her dowry. Apart from that, there would be nothing. If it weren't for the two red words "Happy" posted on the window, no one would have seen that this was a house for marriage.

Han Mingxiu looked at the house, but was not picky, and said as if nothing had happened: "It's pretty good, it's hard and simple!"

Seeing that she was not dissatisfied or angry, Huo Jianfeng was very moved and held her hand and whispered: "We are just staying here temporarily. We will go back to the military district on the fourth day of the day. The superiors have already approved the house for me. That is our home. When we go back and clean up our homes well..."

Han Mingxiu knew that he was comforting him, so she pursed her lips and said, "I understand, go, go out quickly, have the meals on the outside?"

"Okay, let's go!" Huo Jianfeng happily pulled open the corners of his mouth and walked out with Han Mingxiu.

At this moment, my parents' home (guest) had already entered the banquet, and the banquet was placed in the greenhouse in the front garden. The greenhouse was temporarily built for their wedding banquet. It was a plastic greenhouse covering an area of ​​about 60 square meters.

Speaking of which, Han Mingxiu was invented at first, and later everyone learned to raise quails from her and could use them. Later, this greenhouse became a must-have place for farmers to get married and hold wedding banquets.

Anyway, the greenhouse is easy to build, and it is spacious and bright inside, which is much more convenient than eating in the house.

The two walked into the greenhouse together. Now they were so busy that they started serving the dishes. Huo Jianfeng prepared eight dishes:

A fried cabbage slice with black fungus, a stewed venison with mushrooms, a frozen tofu with cabbage, a braised venison with dried tofu, a stewed venison with kelp, a radish with fried hairtail, and a cold spelling. This is to put the braised deer heart, deer liver, and deer intestines with slices on a plate to form a plate.

Huo Jianfeng thought: Although these dishes are not as rich as Xiu'er's wedding banquet, they are better than enough meat. The two deer he hunted together were nearly 200 kilograms, and he braised them 100 kilograms, and the rest of the cooking dishes were used.

He told the master who was in charge that all dishes with meat were half meat and half dishes, and they looked very decent.

However, when they walked into the greenhouse, they found something was wrong.

I originally expected that a thin layer of braised meat would be placed in a few large plates of braised meat. The slices of meat were so thin that they were almost transparent in the sun, and there was really only one layer, and they were eaten with a few chopsticks.

The venison was almost invisible when the mushrooms were stewed with mushrooms, and they were all mushrooms. His original plan was to add only a little mushroom to the stewed venison in the pot of mushrooms, almost all of them were venison. As a result, I don’t know what the chef did, but it happened to be a reversal.

There was also the fried hairtail dish. He bought a bag of hairtail, but each plate contained only a dozen short hairtail slices, and each person picked up a chopstick and disappeared.

These meat and vegetables have shrunk a lot, making the banquet look a lot shabby.

Although everyone didn't say anything, Huo Jianfeng was unhappy. He walked to the kitchen with a dark face and asked the master who was holding the spoon what was going on.

The master who is in charge of the slaughter is the father of a primary school classmate and is also familiar with Huo Jianfeng.

When Huo Jianfeng asked, the master said with a bitter look on his face: "Jianfeng, I want to take good care of you, but there is no meat? When you went to pick up the bride, your aunt took away all the meat and left such a little bit. If I don't do this, it will not be enough to eat..."

When Huo Jianfeng heard that it was his aunt who took the meat away, he was furious and turned around and went to find Aunt Huo.

"Auntie, where are my meat ready to do business?" he asked straight to the point.

At this moment, Aunt Huo was sitting on the kang talking to her eldest daughter and the second daughter.

Today, the family held a wedding ceremony. Aunt Huo's married eldest daughter, the second daughter, has also returned. It is rare for mothers and girls to get together. After finally having the opportunity to get together, they seized the opportunity to sit together and chat with each other. No one thought that today was their family's wedding ceremony, and they should go out to entertain guests.

Seeing Huo Jianfeng suddenly broke in and asked her about the meat, Aunt Huo said dissatisfiedly: "Call me to come out and take it to your two brother-in-law and your uncle. You are the same. Who can do the wedding ceremony and provide them with the meat? The family will take two kilograms of white flour and two kilograms of rice, and they will bring their food to the house and ask them to eat it. They will pay for us and provide them with meat! It's so beautiful that they are!"

Huo Jianfeng said: "This is not a matter of whether to make a compensation or not, it is a matter of face. I risked the cold and stayed in the mountains for five or six days just to make my face look better today. Auntie, take out all the meat you still have. "

"It's gone, there's nothing left. I'll ask me to divide it with your elder sister and your uncle's family." Aunt Huo said simply.

Anyway, there is no meat, how can he raise her?

Huo Jianfeng was angry and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, why did you give me the meat I came back from hunting hard? Didn't I tell you that the meat was used for my wedding banquet? Didn't you do this on purpose to slap me in the face?"

When Aunt Huo saw that Huo Jianfeng dared to question her, her eyes stood up and said tit-for-tat: "I am our leader, and our family has not yet separated. The meat you hunted is our meat, so I have to decide. What? Do you have any opinions?"

Huo Jianfeng said: "I will marry such a wife in my life. Are you sure you will be harsh on this little bit of meat?"

"What does it mean to be harsh? Didn't I tell you all? We can't do this, it's too much." Aunt Huo lit the kang table with his hand, looking as if he was disappointed, and taught Huo Jianfeng earnestly.

"Look at their people, they all followed the gifts, and they licked their big faces and brought their families to the ground to eat, especially Sun Aotun's things, and even more shameless. Two carriages came to send off the bride. Isn't this treating us as a sucker? I'm so old, and I have never heard of these old people who send off the bride."

"Yes, you can't spoil them. Just ask me to tell them to stutter." Sister Huo said to the side, as if she was the owner of this family.

Huo Jianfeng, hehe, "Then according to what you say, that's right for you to eat the meat."
