Chapter 68: The Banquet (I)
"Hey, by the way, Xiao Mu, there will be a banquet in the village tomorrow, do you have any of them?"
Guo Yang's sudden words startled Xiao Mu.
"I don't know, I'll ask my grandfather when I get home. β
At that time, although the banquet was from the same village, but under normal circumstances, only people who were related to the family who did the work, or people who had a certain status, and each family who was not related to each other could have a person to help each other, regardless of red and white ceremonies, but I don't know when it was later, whether there was a relationship or not, as long as it was the same villager, they were invited.
Xiao Mu is really looking forward to being invited, because he has never participated in a banquet before, and he really wants to experience it.
The first thing Xiao Mu did when he returned home at noon was to ask Zhang Laohan if he had invited him to the banquet.
"Grandpa, I heard that there is a banquet in the village, have you invited our family?"
"Please, it's Uncle Wang's family in the village who is doing the funeral, and your uncle went to help this morning. β
This Xiao Mu was happy at that time, and cheered, "I can finally participate in the banquet." β
Zhang Laohan on the side saw that Xiao Mu was very embarrassed, so he said: "What a dance, do you think it's good to have a banquet, I don't want him to invite our family, you are good, see you happy." β
Xiao Mu didn't understand why, wouldn't it be nice to have wine to eat?
"What do you know, you know, you think the wine is free for you to eat, we have to pay a gift!"
was yelled at by Zhang Han like this, Xiao Mu, who was originally happy, instantly straightened his face, and even looked a little angry.
This is like a crisp autumn weather, and the sunny weather suddenly storms and rains, which makes Xiao Mu's little heart a little unbearable.
The mood full of anticipation was hit by Zhang Laohan at once, and he turned his head and ran towards the old man.
The old man comforted Xiao Mu, "What about what your grandfather said, when the time comes, you go with me, I will take you to eat meat and meat, and come to the funeral place to find me after class at noon tomorrow." β
The mood was a little happy, at this time, Xiao Mu felt that the old man was good to him, and Zhang Laohan lost his temper at every turn, and it was not easy to get along at all.
β¦β¦
The banquet that I was thinking about was coming, and Xiao Mu in the classroom was already restless, eager to get out of class immediately, so that I could see and see it as soon as possible.
"Hey, Guo Yang, have you ever been to this kind of occasion?" Xiao Mu asked.
What are the conditions of Guo Yang's family, this kind of banquet Guo Yang is from a snack to a big one.
Guo Yang put on an adult appearance, patted his chest and said, "You may not believe Lao Tzu when you say it, I haven't seen any scenes, this kind of thing is no longer strange to me." β
The naΓ―ve Xiao Mu thought that Guo Yang was bragging, so he said: "Come on, you, bragging doesn't make drafts, you only know how to run the train with your mouth full." β
Guo Yang saw that Xiao Mu didn't believe it, so he pursed his lips, "Do you believe it or not, hum." β
"Jingle Bell~"
The bell rang after class, Xiao Mu didn't clean up the desk, pushed Guo Yang and said, "Let's go, let's go quickly, otherwise everyone will finish eating later." β
In order to prove that he had been there, Guo Yang calmly packed up his desk and said: "It's 11.30 in the morning, and the meal time for this kind of banquet is about 12.00 to 13.00, so you don't have to worry about others eating first." β
This can make Xiao Mu stomp his feet straight, "Master, I still have to go to my grandmother, otherwise I can't find anyone to eat with, can you hurry up." β
Seeing that Xiao Mu was already impatient, Guo Yang went to Xiao Mu, and you chased me to the place where the banquet was held along the way.
It was an open space the size of a stadium, full of tables of various sizes, and the family had a funeral flag hanging high with bamboo poles and a non-stop trumpet.
This made Xiao Mu feel a little scary, and he felt a hint of coolness behind him.
When he arrived at the venue, Xiao Mu did not successfully find the old man, and Guo Yang did not find his mother.
The two of them looked for their respective parents table after table, this is a banquet with hundreds of tables, and it is not a way to find it like this.
So Xiao Mu asked the people in the village if he had seen the old man, but the answer was that he hadn't seen him.
While asking, you can occasionally hear others talking about you.
"Whose kid is this? Why haven't I seen it?"
"This, this is Zhang Laohan's family, didn't his eldest daughter divorce a few years ago, and then left him to live with Zhang Laohan. β
"Ah, is it? It's called Xiao Mu, right? β
"It's not, it's growing up so fast, and I don't know what it will do to Zhang Laohan and them when they grow up in the future. β
"That's it, Zhang Laohan's family is too conscientious, and the people are too good. β
Of course, Xiao Mu is too lazy to deal with these gossips, the top priority is to find the old man as soon as possible, or Guo Yang's mother, otherwise there will be no food.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find it, and the two of them were exhausted.
"Hey, Xiao Mu, haven't they come yet, otherwise we haven't found it after looking for so long. β
Xiao Mu thought about it carefully, it was not impossible, after all, they all knew that their children were in class, and it was impossible for them to come so early.
"That's right, then let's just wait here. β
The two of them casually found a table and sat down, and the villagers around them cast strange glances.
From time to time, someone said: "Look at those two children, they are so brave, they dare to sit at the same table with two children." β
Xiao Mu thought to herself, isn't it just to sit at a table?
"Hey, Xiao Mu, Guo Yang, you two came so early!"
Who else should Xiao Mu be, when he looked up, it was Guo Yang's mother, and the old man was also behind Guo Yang's mother.
At that moment, the stone in Xiao Mu's heart was finally put down.
smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat, so I pulled Guo Yang directly here after class." β
"Oh, yes. We thought you would come back home with Guo Yang, and then wait for you at home. β
The old man helped Xiao Mu sort out his clothes, "Look at you, your clothes won't be worn well, they are full of dust, you look at Guo Yang, you will tidy up." β
Xiao Mu glanced at Guo Yang, and the two smiled, but neither spoke.
While talking and laughing, Xiang Gang brought delicious dishes, which were 8 large bowls.
Xiao Mu had never seen such a row of noodles, and he drooled as he looked at the dishes.
But everyone didn't move the chopsticks, and Xiao Mu was naturally embarrassed to move.
Guo Yang's mother said: "Come on, come on, eat quickly, it'll be cold for a while." β
Xiao Mu started to eat it and stared at the braised pork opposite, but he couldn't reach it, and Xiao Mu was embarrassed.
Xiao Mu whispered to the old man: "Grandma, I want to eat that braised pork, I can't reach it." β
"Oh, you said earlier, I'll help you clip it if you can't reach it, eat more, and only here can you eat such a good dish." β
And Guo Yang is very rampant, and the dishes that can't be reached stand up directly and clip them.
