After walking out of the hostel, everyone walked along the road to the west of the village, passed the supermarket in the center of the village, and then turned two intersections to come to Qi Dahe's home.

Qi Dahe's home is a two-story building with a large courtyard in front of it, and the gate is open at this time, and everyone can smell the food when they stand at the door.

A large round table has been set up in the courtyard, and it looks like it shouldn't be a problem to seat a dozen people.

There were four or five chairs and stools next to the round table, as well as two or three benches, and the shape was not the same furniture.

It can be seen that Qi Dahe borrowed these stools and chairs from his neighbors in order to entertain so many guests.

There is a small bungalow next to the two-story building, and Qi Dahe is serving food from it, which seems to be their kitchen.

At this time, Qi Yanmei also came out behind Qi Dahe, and with sharp eyes, she saw everyone at the door at a glance, and hurriedly greeted.

"Come on, come in quickly, the meal is almost ready, and you can eat it soon. ”

Qi Dahe also said enthusiastically.

"You just treat this place as if it were your own home, don't be polite, come and try our home-cooked food, I don't know if it suits your appetite. ”

Long Zun and his party walked towards the courtyard, and to the left they saw an area surrounded by fences and fishing nets, in which a few chickens and ducks were raised.

At this time, the fowl saw a group of strangers, who were originally foraging for food, and immediately fled in all directions in terror and hid back in their nests.

On the right-hand side is a small vegetable patch with some Chinese cabbage and shallots.

The girls were still very interested when they saw the chickens and ducklings, and they gathered around the fence one by one to watch.

"You see, this little duck is so cute. ”

"And that chick, yellow, fluffy, must be nice to touch. ”

"It seems like a lot of fun, let's get one when we go back to school. ”

"Good idea, I've decided, let's keep it in our dormitory. ”

"Okay, I agree!"

……

Qi Dahe looked at a group of excited female students and said.

"If you like, I'll catch one for you later. ”

The girls immediately screamed with excitement.

"Really, thank you, Uncle Qi!"

Long Zun shook his head slightly.

These girls don't know how hard it is to raise these poultry, which is different from raising puppies and kittens, and it is estimated that they are going to suffer in the dormitory.

However, seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Long Zun couldn't go and pour a basin of cold water, so he said.

"Come back later, let's go eat first, or the food will be cold." ”

"Okay, let's eat first. ”

The girls immediately sat around the big round table, and Qi Yanmei prepared dishes and chopsticks for everyone.

Qi Dahe saw several large bags of things in Long Zun's hand, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Benefactor, just come for a meal, you don't have to bring so many things, we mountain people don't have this rule, you are too polite. ”

Saying that, Qi Dahe was going to help Long Zun carry the bag.

Long Zun said with a smile.

"Don't call me a benefactor, just call me Longzun. ”

"These are not gifts, but these girls bought too much barbecue at noon, and they brought them to your house because they didn't waste so many things left. ”

Qi Dahe nodded.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Long. ”

After receiving a few large bags of things, Qi Dahe walked to the kitchen, and a short middle-aged woman walked out and talked to Qi Dahe for a few words.

This woman should be Qi Dahe's wife, she is not tall, but she looks dignified, a little fat, there seems to be some problems with her legs and feet, and she walks with a limp.

Long Zun could see at a glance that this woman's leg had been injured, but it had not been completely cured, and it had become a stubborn disease.

Qi Dahe came out of the kitchen with a large iron bucket, put it next to the round table, and said to the girls.

"Everyone, come, the meal is cooked, you can eat, don't be polite to eat, it's not enough for us to continue to cook." ”

"Mr. Long, come and sit down. ”

A group of girls saw a large table of dishes that had already moved their index fingers, and after the meal was served, they had already started one by one.

Qi Dahe and Qi Yanmei also sat down and greeted everyone.

"You can stand up and clip the dishes that can't be sandwiched, you're welcome, we don't have so many rules, everyone is free to do so." ”

"You can try my mother's cooking, it's delicious. ”

Only Xiao Yiren was keenly aware that there was one person missing, and said to Qi Dahe.

"Uncle Qi, auntie came over for dinner like this?"

Qi Dahe said with a smile.

"You eat first, and she'll come and eat later." ”

Long Zun naturally knew what the situation was, this kind of thing existed in many parts of the country, or it was a tradition.

Generally, when there is a banquet at home, the wife does not serve at the table.

They will only serve their meals after the guests have eaten or finished eating, and then they will start cleaning up the table.

After all, our country has experienced such a long period of patriarchal and inferior society, and this tradition has been passed down consciously or unconsciously.

Although equality between men and women has been advocated for many years, and in some places the status of women is even higher than that of men, but in the family, women are still mostly disadvantaged.

Even in Qi Dahe's house, from Qi Dahe's conversation with his wife, Long Zun could see that Qi Dahe was mainly his wife, and he was discussing everything with his wife.

However, Qi Dahe's wife still chose this tradition, which may be the reason for teaching by word and deed.

Maybe Qi Dahe's wife's mother did this, and when it was her turn to be a wife, she naturally did so.

Long Zun looked at Xiao Yiren's somewhat puzzled expression, so he said to Qi Dahe.

"You let us not be polite, you should also be casual, let Aunt Qi also come out to eat together, everyone will get together and be lively." ”

After listening to Long Zun's words, Qi Dahe nodded hurriedly and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, Qi Dahe walked out with his wife in his arms and sat down on the table together.

A group of girls praised Aunt Qi's craftsmanship one after another, which made this woman a little embarrassed.

The meal was lively and lively, as if it was a banquet, and with such a group of girls present, it would definitely not be cold.

……

After dinner, the girls helped Aunt Qi clean up the table.

Although Aunt Qi repeatedly said that she didn't need to help, she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the girls, so she didn't shirk it anymore.

Qi Dahe called Long Zun into the room with some caution, looking at Long Zun's eyes a little flustered.

After a long time, Qi Dahe spoke.

"Mr. Long, what about the money you gave me, I want to use it to do good deeds, but my wife's illness costs a lot of money, I think I can use the money here first, and then put the money on it when my orchard makes money, do you say it's okay?"

Long Zun didn't expect that Qi Dahe God mysteriously pulled himself down in the house, and it was actually for this matter.

This Qi Dahe plane is also too honest, maybe it is a tendon in the head.

However, this is also the reason why Long Zun helped Qi Dahe.

"It's your money, what's my business?"

……
