The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 380: Joyfully engaged

The team at the other end had already arrived at the gate of Jingjia Wubao, and the team behind them had not yet entered the village.

The villagers of Beishan Village stood on the drying ground and stared at the gift-giving team.

Third Aunt Wang's biological mother folded her hands and said cheerfully: "Emma, ​​this old Jing family is so lucky to have such a promising daughter!"

Third Aunt Wang glanced at her mother-in-law displeasedly. She had already had several wedding banquets with her. Wouldn't she still want to wait until the prince's wedding before going back?
Although she has always been unambiguous about food at home, she has always eaten food from her family in the past few months, but there is no reason to always live in her daughter-in-law's natal family.

Seeing that her mother-in-law provided food every day and that there was a family of young and old helping her family with various tasks, Third Aunt Wang could not say anything about driving people away.

Aunt Shuizhen looked around and asked Third Aunt Wang: "Third Aunt, why don't you see Dunzi's wife?"

Third Aunt Wang hummed and said, "I just went over to help yesterday!"

Not only Wang Dun's daughter-in-law, but also Wang Youcai's family, and several families who had settled in Beishui Village, all went to help before dawn.

There are so many people here today, chickens, ducks, fish, etc. all have to be killed on the spot, because there are not enough manpower.

Wang Dun's daughter-in-law was chopping chicken and called back to her daughter: "Da Ni'er, go to the aunt's house next door and bring two more vegetable baskets. This one won't fit!"

"Hey!" Da Nier responded crisply and hurriedly ran to the next door.

Wang Youcai's family called to his youngest son: "Stop looking at you. What are you looking at? Ma Liu is doing his job!"

"There's a bucket of rancid water over there that's full, take it over there and feed it to the pigs in the animal pen!"

Wang Laosan glanced at the team outside, absentmindedly picked up the bucket and left.

Fan Goucheng and several children were plucking chicken feathers, and the boss was not happy: "The prince and his brother-in-law are coming over today, why don't you let us go to the front yard, and we have to squat here to pluck the feathers!"

Wang Jindan also said with a sad look on his face: "That's right, with so many chickens, ducks and geese, how long will it take to finish plucking them out!"

Mrs. Fan came over and hit her grandson on the head with a bang: "How can you come up with so much nonsense when I ask you to do work!"

Chickens, ducks and fish were prepared last night, but the Jing family never expected that there would be so many people giving betrothal gifts, hundreds of people. Now, the preparations were somewhat insufficient.

Fortunately, there were many people in the family, and everything that was missing was available in the village. Mrs. Ge quickly ordered people to kill them right away, so they could be done quickly.

This is something that is rare in the family, otherwise you would have known how many people there were in the wedding party just by looking at the gift list.

Mrs. Ge thought to herself that on the big day of welcoming the bride, she had to find a capable person to help her look after it in advance, otherwise something would definitely go wrong.

In the large kitchen canteen, men from the village lined up.

There are everything you need for spooning, washing, and chopping side dishes.

The boys were busy preparing various small ingredients for the master chefs. Fortunately, the kitchen was big enough and Jingli arranged it according to a reasonable layout. There was no chaos at all when there were so many people.

Chef Fan checked each one and gave instructions: "Rake, you are a bit angry, how many times have you said it!"

Zhao Laili smiled naively: "Uncle, haven't I made progress?"

Chef Fan turned to Wang Jinlong and said, "That's right, boy, he has the same style as your grandpa back in the day!"

Wang Jinlong weighed the pot and tossed it: "That's right, Grandpa, do you think my skills are almost catching up with my second uncle's?"

Fan Ershao said disdainfully: "Boy, if you want to catch up with me, it will take you a few more years to clean the pots!"

Lancao walked into the kitchen with a blushing face: "Master Fan, I left the onions here!"

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry. The people in Jingjia Village are really different. Men cook and the women wash the vegetables and tidy up in the back. Unlike their family, when guests come, her father sits firmly. He wouldn't even glance at the kitchen.

Zhang Peng came over to see the opportunity and stuffed a candy into Lan Cao's mouth: "Daughter-in-law, is it sweet?"

Lancao blushed and scolded: "If you don't go to the front yard to help, why are you here!" Zhang Peng said with a smile: "I'm afraid you just came here. There are many people in such an occasion and you are not familiar with it, so you won't be used to it!"

Lancao felt moved in her heart. When her aunt said how good the Jing family was, she thought about how chaotic it would be if two hundred people lived in a large courtyard.

There were only four uncles and brothers in her family, and they had quarrels every day over the corners of the fields. At that time, she felt unhappy.

It was her mother who said that her big family just fled the famine last year and could build a big house this year and have so many livestock and fields. This family is not bad at all.

If the elders in the family are troublesome, just tolerate it and let it go. Whose new daughter-in-law didn't come here like this?

But after I got married, I realized that there were many elders in the courtyard, but they didn't care about the young couple's affairs at all.

On the third day of their wedding, Zhang Peng was noisy for too long at night, and she overslept for a while. She didn't get up until everyone had eaten breakfast.

After going downstairs, I felt uneasy, but Aunt Su said with a smile on her face: "What's the point? The one at home hasn't gotten up yet!"

In contrast to Jingli, who loves to stay in bed in winter, the elderly people in the courtyard see that the girls' tolerance level has improved a lot.

Thinking of this, Lan Cao blushed and gently beat Zhang Peng: "Go quickly, Auntie and the others treat me very well, you don't have to worry about me!"

Zhang Peng smoothed his wife's hair and then went to the front yard happily.

In the vegetable shed on the other side, Wang Tan'er stood blankly, holding a basket in his hand and not knowing what to do.

Zhu Chengcai, who was passing by, saw her, turned back and asked, "Miss Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Tan'er said sheepishly: "Master, my aunt asked me to pick some green onions. Which one of these is the green onion?"

Zhu Chengcai scratched his head and pointed to the green vegetable patch on one side: "That's it!"

Wang Tan'er immediately said happily: "Thank you, Master!"

The tips of Zhu Chengcai's ears were slightly red and he said: "You're welcome, girl. Don't call me Master again. If you don't give up, you'd better call me Chengcai!"

Wang Tan'er blushed and said, "I'll call you Brother Zhu!"

"Hey, hey! Excellent!" Zhu Chengcai looked at Wang Tan'er with silly joy.

Mrs. Zhang came in and saw Zhu Chengcai looking silly and happy, and Wang Tan'er still picking up leeks unconsciously.

"Tan'er, what are you doing with these leeks?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

"Ah? Isn't this onion?" Wang Tan'er said in a daze.

Zhu Chengcai's face suddenly turned red: "Zhang Grandma, I made a mistake, I thought..."

Mrs. Zhang Er sighed: "Sir, besides studying, you should also take a look at our crops when you have time!"

Zhu Chengcai's face turned red and he said, "I'm sure, I'll go to the fields with my grandfather before the spring plowing begins!"

Mrs. Zhang interrupted him: "Don't! You'd better teach the children to read later. Teaching children well is better than anything else!"

She didn't forget that during the harvest, Zhu Chengcai turned pale from the fright of the locusts and took a few pills afterwards.

Mrs. Zhang Er shook her head, this scholar is really useless.

The old lady went back with the onion roots she had picked again.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard Chef Fan shouting: "Where's the fish? Where's my fish?"
