The aunt hugged her son and said, "That's not it, I've been soaking in the Taizi River every day this summer, can it not be dark." ”

Libin said, "Mom, what are you talking about here, I'm hungry." ”

The aunt said: "So many people haven't eaten, wait a while, wait for a while, wait for a while The master of the hotel will come to make delicious food." Go play with your little brother and them. "I took my son to Zhang Xingming's brother.

Libin looked up at Zhang Xingming's brother and said, "What's so funny, there's nothing here." ”

My aunt came out of the house, looked at the group of people at the door, and came over with a smile and greeted: "Oh, you two sisters are standing here Gaha, come into the house, come into the house." Gui Xin, Qingzhi, Gui Lian, all entered the house. Erming is here, Xiaohong, beckoning your aunt and them into the house. ”

Sister Xiaohong said to her mother and father, "Why don't you go into the house and sit, it's cold outside." "It was windy on the mountain, and although there was a courtyard wall to block it, it still blew people's hair around.

My mother said, "Is there a place in the house?"

My aunt said, "Yes, go into the house and go to the kang to warm up." Mom and Dad's kang kept burning. ”

Mom pulled my aunt into the house, and my dad followed.

Sister Xiaohong pulled Zhang Xingming back: "Enter the house." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Forget it, you guys come into the house, I'll stay outside for a while, there are too many people." ”

My mother said as she walked, "Xiaohong doesn't have to worry about him, let's go into the house." Sister Xiaohong took Erhong and her mother and father into the house together.

As soon as the aunt entered, Libin lived, leaned over and said to the elder brother, "Do you know how to play poker?"

The younger brother said, "Yes, is there a poker?"

Libin scratched his head and said, "I know that the store behind me sells it, do you have any money?"

The younger brother said, "Do you have to buy it if you want me to play with me?"

Libin took out his pocket and said, "I don't have any money, I'll just pay five cents." Do you want a piece of poker, I asked. ”

Zhang Xingming asked Lihua: "Are you in the third year of junior high school now?"

Lihua said, "Well, you graduated, remember that you are a year older than me." I usually go to your house with my mother, but you are always not at home. ”

Zhang Xingming nodded and said with a smile: "I have a lot to do." Where are you going to take the exam? High school or technical secondary school?"

Lihua said: "If you take the test for my father's technical school, where can I still take the test, and I can't pass the test." ”

Outside the courtyard, there was a car sound, several big cars stopped at the door, and the hotel people arrived.

Soon the whole yard changed, the tables and chairs were placed neatly, the stove utensils were all in place, and the big truck turned around and stopped in the open space.

A group of cooks, water workers, and waiters wearing Hexiang hotel uniforms began to get into the working state.

The chef began to prepare the meal, the waiters took out the things from the box to decorate the environment, the lanterns were pulled up, the colored flags were arranged in place like the red window stickers, half an hour, the whole courtyard and the house were changed, and the neighbors looked at it with envy, and the mother said: "It looks a lot better like this, and this effort is not in vain." ”

Zhang Xingming went into the house and walked around, and said to his aunt: "Auntie, the east room has to be vacated to put two tables in the house." Auntie, you hurry up and ask someone to clean up and put things away, and I will ask the waiter outside to come in and arrange it. ”

The aunt who was talking to her aunt and a few neighbors pulled her newly permed hair and asked, "There's not enough space outside......?" Eleven, eleven tables, one writing ceremony, you can put ten tables at once, it's enough. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "My uncle has to come back, and when it's over, why don't people come from the county? People from the county can't come to the town to accompany them? Put two tables in the east house, and as soon as the leaders leave, they can leave, and then they will come in." ”

My aunt said, "Then you don't have to do it here, right? The house is full of people, what do you say?

Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "Let's just say that the county leaders are coming, just clean up the house and receive the leaders." What if my uncle came back in the afternoon? If the county people did come with my uncle, there would be no place to sit at that time. ”

My mother said: "Yes, yes, yes, when the leader comes, you can let people squeeze in the courtyard, go and clean up, let's go, let's go together." ”

A few people came out of the west house and entered the east house, the house was full of big girls and little daughters-in-law on the kang at this time, there was a kang table on the kang, there were melon seeds, peanuts and sugar apples, and the kang on the ground was full of melon seed skins, peanut skins and candy paper cores, and several bear children squeezed up and down crying and shouting to grab sugar cubes.

Entering the house, the people on the kang and under the kang were in a commotion, all of which were clichés of congratulations, which was also a tradition, making trouble in the house, in fact, it was to find a balance in spirit when the materials were not abundant, at least lively and festive.

My aunt smiled and replied, "Come, everyone help, give the things to the children and take them with you, this house has to be cleaned up and put on the table." ”

Some older people who sit in the kang are not happy, but it is so nice to sit in this kang and it is warm and comfortable. "How can there be a happy table in my father's house, clean eggs, there are more than a dozen tables outside, enough, no need to toss. ”

The younger ones are already wearing shoes to get the children off the kang, of course, melon seeds, peanuts, candy or something, you must fill your pockets, and take two big apples.

My aunt said: "Didn't my old Liu go to the county, the leaders of this county have to come, it's not good to put it outside, just sit in this house, and wait for the people to leave before you come in." Hurry up and put on his shoes. "Stand on the side of the kang and laugh and pull the old one.

The older one reluctantly muttered and got off the kang, grabbed a few apples and went out. A group of girls, daughters-in-law, and daughters dispersed, and a few mothers and aunts went to the kang to pick up. At that time, the quilts were all folded on the box, so I quickly found a beautiful blanket to cover it, put everything in order, and swept the kang clean. Here, Zhang Xingming called a few waiters to come in and clean up the ground.

Soon the room became clean and tidy, a few waiters set up the table, put dishes and cups on the cloth, and placed a few small flower blue handicrafts in a few places in the house to decorate, replaced with large bulbs, and suddenly the room felt up. There can only be one table underground, but considering that it may not be able to sit down, I put a kang table on the kang again, and clean it up as it does underground, in case there are more people in the town, they will sit on the kang plate, and they are usually used to it anyway.

The house was cleaned up, everyone withdrew, and the service staff decorated the doors of the bedrooms.

When I came outside, I was just in time for dinner. Today is not a positive day, lunch is relatively simple, a few plates of cold fighting, three or four hot dishes and a soup, the amount is very sufficient, and the main thing is full. There was no need for anyone to make a fuss, so many people came here to stay just for a few meals, and soon eleven tables were full of people eating.

When the neighbors have eaten and dispersed, it is the turn of their own family to eat, which is also the rule, and guests cannot eat if they do not eat their own family.

Zhang Xingming and Sister Xiaohong helped their grandfather out, and the family sat at three tables while talking and eating.
