Yuanchun brought out three bottles of white spirits for the men at the three tables. The women were all drinking rice wine that Yuanchun had brewed herself; it had been fermenting for just over ten days, so the sweetness was just right.
The rice had been sent by Mother Kong. Knowing that Yuanchun was getting married, Mother Kong had also sent three hundred yuan as a dowry and a new set of bedding, with the money hidden inside the quilt. Mother Kong was worried that if she sent the money via postal money order, such a large sum might attract attention and cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law, so she had sewn the cash into the bedding where no one would know.
However, Yuanchun’s wedding date had been set at such an inconvenient time, falling only three days after her brother’s. Between preparing to welcome a daughter-in-law and working her job, Mother Kong simply couldn't find the time to attend her daughter and son-in-law's wedding banquet, so she could only provide extra support from afar. She had bought Yuanchun a Lenin suit and two pairs of leather shoes, and also sent Yu He-gui a new outfit and a pair of leather shoes.
