Chapter 100: Formal Ceremony
The rainy season has passed, the heavy rain has come to an end, the whole city and county have begun to work hard to repair the embankment and dam, and the villagers have also begun to work in the fields.
Canghai also has something to do, and he goes to see the melon field from time to time with peace.
The seedlings in the melon field grow strangely, and the flowers are also strange, there are only two or three flowers on each plant, and some even fewer only have a single seedling, if it weren't for the fact that the seedlings that grow a single seedling are with fruits, Canghai has the heart to shovel it directly.
Originally, I thought that as soon as the melon field bloomed, the eyes were full of small yellow flowers, but the reality smoked Canghai with a big ear scraper, and the melon field was full of green melon seedlings, and it was the kind of thick branches and leaves, and the flowers became embellishments.
I returned to the village with peace, and there were still about 100 meters away, and the smell of salted fish rushed into my nose. Now every family has salted fish, including the Canghai family.
The fish is delicious, but it doesn't taste good right now.
There is no way, there are too many fish picked up last time, and it is not convenient to take them out and sell them, so everyone has only one way to make salted fish, so every family has set up a shelf on their own earthen platform, and the shelf is full of salted fish of all sizes.
This little wind is blowing, and you can smell this salted fish for more than a mile downwind, and the smell is quite unforgettable. Just like now, Canghai had to cover his nose.
Ping An was so safe that he didn't dislike it, and sniffed lightly: "Wow, what a fragrant taste."
The words of peace attracted the white eyes of Canghai: "If you like it, go home and stick to the fish and smell it."
"Haiwazi, are you back?"
As soon as they entered the village, Wei Wenkui happened to meet Canghai and the two.
"Well, Uncle Wei, we're back."
"Hurry up and go back, there are guests at your house, and two people with a child say that they are your godparents," Wei Wenkui said with a smile.
When Canghai heard this, he immediately remembered who it was, it must be the child and his parents who he saved last time.
"This person is still serious," Canghai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Originally, Canghai thought that everyone hadn't seen each other for a few days, and this matter was over, and everyone would treat it as if it hadn't happened after a long time, but now people are roaring and looking for the door.
"Is there any foolery to do with your godparents?" said Wei Wenkui with a smile.
After speaking, Wei Wenkui said: "I didn't expect you to be close to Zhang Jiusheng's family."
"You know?"
Wei Wenkui said: "How many people do you think there are in the town? Who doesn't know who is that, this Zhang Jiusheng is very clever, and now the business is doing well, he is one of the best people in the town, don't you say that someone wanted to get along with him before, he was not happy, I didn't expect to have such a relationship with you."
Canghai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, how could he listen to Wei Wenkui's meaning as if he and Zhang Jiusheng were relatives, and he was also cheapened by others?
"Hurry up and go back, people are quite formal, they came with a few color gifts, and they also hired a guarantor," Wei Wenkui said.
Canghai nodded when he heard this, and asked Ping'an to drive the ugly donkey back to the barn, and walked quickly to his home.
When I arrived at the door of the house, not only did Zhang Jiusheng's family of three know each other, but the guarantor he brought was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, it was his old classmate, Zheng Bowei who lived in the town.
"Didn't expect it, right?" Zheng Bowei saw Canghai, smiled and greeted him, stretched out his hand and gently punched Canghai: "You kid, why don't you go to my house to play, you have to ask me to come over."
"Really, I'm tired of being busy during this time, and I'll have more time to bother you until I cry, and when I hear my name, I'll run away with my family," Canghai joked with a smile.
Zheng Bowei laughed and said, "Don't worry, there won't be this day!"
"Baby, he's big, let's meet again" Zhang Jiusheng smiled and stretched out his hand to Canghai.
Cang Hai took two steps and shook his hand: "Why didn't you make a phone call before you came, you see that you have been waiting for a long time, right?"
Zheng Bowei said: "We called you when we arrived, but no one answered, or I went to ask the third aunt and said that you have been in the village these days, so I came directly to block you."
Hearing this, Canghai reached out and touched his pocket, and then remembered that he had forgotten his mobile phone at home and did not bring it with him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring my phone," Canghai said.
Zhang Jiusheng said: "Originally, we thought that we would come over two or three days after separation, but who knew that this year's rain was endless, so it has been delayed until now, and I will bring my children over when the road is just dry."
"There's really no need to be in such a hurry, this can be done in the town," Canghai said.
Zhang Jiusheng made a face: "How can this be, how can there be a godson who doesn't know where to live, how can he come to the door during the New Year's holidays in the future?"
"Okay, let's go into the house" Canghai took out the key and opened the door of the house, signaling Zhang Jiu's family of three and Zheng Bowei to enter the house.
Let everyone enter the house, Canghai reached out and gently touched the little tiger's head with a tiger's brain, signaling this kid to go in quickly.
"Great!"
Xiaohu raised his head and shouted at Canghai, then turned his head and stared at the tiger head and iron head standing behind him with two small black eyes.
Children's resistance to animals is weak, Xiaohu may have a dog at home, but there will never be an orangutan, so this kid has not looked at the dry sea a few times since they met, and he stared directly at the iron head.
"Don't be skinny, be careful of scratching you" Wang Chunxiu didn't know her son's careful thoughts, women always be careful, for fear that the orangutan would hurt her own child.
Canghai smiled when he heard it: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, the iron head is not scratching, the people in the village were also careful when they first came, and now they are all familiar with it and play with it from time to time, rest assured, the iron head has not scratched anyone until now."
"Oh" Wang Chunxiu was still not at ease.
Zhang Jiusheng was a little anxious at this time, and said: "You mother-in-law, this is Xiaohu's big job, and you can still harm him, listen to him!"
Hearing her husband's words, Wang Chunxiu smiled awkwardly at Canghai, entered the house and sat next to Zhang Jiusheng.
Canghai called Tietou over and asked him to accompany Xiaohu to play at the door of the living room, so that the words were in the sight of adults, and Wang Chunxiu could rest assured.
After entering the house, Canghai made tea for everyone, and then began to chat with them.
After chatting a few words, Zhang Jiusheng shouted at Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, come here, bring the gift to you, and then kowtow to you."
I don't know if the little guy has rehearsed at home, but after listening to his words, he immediately responded, quickly hugged the gift he brought in his arms, walked to Canghai and knelt down with a bang.
"Great!"
Xiaohu shouted at Canghai with a straight body, and then walked and raised the gift above his head.
Canghai was determined to recognize the child, so he didn't pull him up all of a sudden, gave birth to the child, and after receiving the gift, he quietly watched Xiaohu kowtow a few times, and then pulled the child up.
Xiaohu, who stood up, kowtowed to Zheng Bowei again, which can be regarded as a thank you witness.
"Okay," Zheng Bowei said with a smile.
As a witness, Zheng Bowei can be regarded as having completed the task, of course, according to the old customs, he must still have a courtesy, but this gift does not need to come out of the sea, it is a matter of Zhang Jiusheng's family.
After thinking about it for a while, Canghai found that he didn't have anything good for his godson, so he stood up and said, "I'll go into the house and get something, which is a child's meeting gift."
After saying that, Canghai turned around and entered the room, and the adults didn't speak, because this was an old ceremony, and Canghai should give a small object to his son after the ceremony was completed, which was not necessarily valuable, but it must be there. Xiaohu looked at the door of Canghai's bedroom with a curious face, thinking about what good things he could give.
Canghai entered the bedroom, took out something from the space and looked at it, it didn't look suitable, and after thinking about it, he put the painting tools he used to use in his hand, this thing was bought after saving for a long time, and now he can't say that it is too suitable to send his godson, but it is not too bad.
Carrying the small wooden box back to the living room, Canghai handed the box into Xiaohu's hands.
"I couldn't find a more suitable one for a while, I used this set of painting tools when I was in school, this is a gift from my teacher, and now I will give this thing to you," Canghai said.
Xiaohu was very curious, in this kid's opinion, this little box is very beautiful, and there are some foreign characters on it, so he immediately opened it.
The child didn't know, but Zhang Jiusheng still had eyesight, looked at the very elaborate painting box, and hurriedly asked: "Is it a little too expensive, give the child this ......."
Canghai waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this thing is not suitable for me now, I used it when I was a beginner, I have kept it as a souvenir, and now I give it to this child in the hope that he will draw a few strokes when he is okay in the future, painting is a thing that can cultivate sentiment, and I can also teach him when I have time in the future."
Hearing Canghai say this, Zhang Jiusheng didn't say anything anymore, and said to his son: "Thank you yet."
"Thanks, Big"
Xiaohu is very happy, there are few children who don't like to take a paintbrush to scribble, not to mention that there are colorful paint boxes in this box, and the little guy who looks at it is very happy.
Canghai gave a gift here, and this program is officially over, and Canghai and Zhang Jiusheng's family are seriously related.
"It's not early, I'll prepare lunch for everyone" Canghai saw that the ceremony was completed, and it was time to eat, so he stood up.
Zhang Jiusheng said: "The baby is big, where do you say the things, let my mother-in-law go to work, let's talk here."
Canghai smiled when he heard this: "Forget it, sister-in-law doesn't necessarily know, or I'll come, where can't we say if we want to talk?"
Zheng Bowei smiled and slapped his thigh: "That's right, you are godparents, and I am old classmates with Canghai, let's all relax, everyone can do this cooking."
With Zheng Bowei's words, everyone went out of the living room and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
