Chapter 7: Full Moon Wine (2)
When I came out of Aunt Guo'er's house, I happened to meet Brother Guo and Second Brother Guo coming back. A brief hello and a few words. So they loaded the tables and stools, pulled the carts and went away.
Uncle Guo and Third Brother Guo heard that there was going to be a banquet tomorrow, so they said that they would help me borrow a table and a stool in a while. It is a great blessing to have such a family to help. I should have helped a lot in my previous life. It's just that the time is too long, I can't remember it clearly, but I remember that later we moved away, Aunt Guo'er's family has been in the village, and there is less contact.
came out of Aunt Guo's house and went home to see the child first. When I entered the yard, I didn't hear the child's cry, so I thought I might still be sleeping. As soon as I entered the house, I realized that I had guessed wrong. The two little ones were awake, and the mother-in-law took a red thing and teased them. The heads of the two of them followed the thing left and right, and they didn't cry when they watched it, and it was fun.
"Cry, coax," my mother-in-law said to me when she saw me coming back.
"Yes, it turns out that the two of them have cried? Mother-in-law is so good, she can see her grandson. I said to my mother-in-law.
When she heard me praise her mother-in-law, her eyes narrowed. That's when I realized what the red thing she was holding turned out to be the red hijab when I got married.
By the time the two little ones had eaten and fallen asleep again, an hour had passed. Seeing that the time was not early, I left the house and went to my uncle's house.
Our village is four trips to the house, three main roads from east to west, each trip to the house has more than 50 households, in the middle of the village opened a north-south road, connecting the three main roads. Uncle's house is on the front street, his house is a new four-room building this year, and grandpa lives in the easternmost one. Then the uncle and the aunt live in one, and the remaining two rooms are for the two brothers to get married.
Past their house and beyond is a 1,200-meter-long stretch of land. There is only a small river at the south end of the land, where we used to do our laundry in the summer. My house is on the last street, and there is a mountain behind me, and there is a small piece of land under the hillside that each family has opened up for themselves.
It took five or six minutes to find the door of the uncle's house. The gate was open, and when I looked into the yard, my grandfather was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and there was a big yellow dog next to him.
"Grandpa, I'm coming", I said, looking at my grandfather. (Actually, when we call grandparents on this side, we all call them words, such as grandparents and parents.) But I found that if I wrote this sentence like this, the meaning would change a little, such as "Master, I'm here" I always feel that this is what the woman in the Qinglou said. )
Hearing my voice, my grandfather opened his eyes and looked at me, and smiled and beckoned me to hurry up. The big yellow dog also heard that it was me. Come to me and run back and forth with his tail wagging back and forth.
"Grandpa, you're okay," I said with red eyes, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see my grandfather again, my grandfather died nine years later in my last life. I don't know if I can let my grandfather live a few more years. I will definitely try to spend more time with him.
"Grandpa's Niuniu is back, why are you still red-eyed, do you miss grandpa, you are now the mother of two children. Can't cry at every turn?" I squatted beside my grandfather, who touched my head and said.
"I miss my grandfather, don't worry about me, I won't cry in the future, I will laugh every day" I said to my grandfather with a smile.
"Good, good, smile every day, good." Grandpa said with a smile and patted my head.
At this time, the eldest aunt opened the door and came out of the house, and asked me, "Are you back?"
I said, "I came back while the child was asleep." Didn't hug them"
The eldest aunt said, "Is there something wrong with you coming back?"
I said, "Yes, I don't have to invite some people for the full moon banquet tomorrow, I'll go and invite the elders and village officials myself." It's not good, so I thought about coming to my uncle and coming with me."
The eldest aunt said: "There is a team of people who introduced your eldest brother to a partner, your uncle took your eldest brother on a blind date today, and he should be back soon." ”
I said, "Really, I don't think I'm back yet, so I'm supposed to be staying for lunch, and it seems like it's almost done."
"Haha, I feel like it's almost possible," the aunt said with a smile.
At this time, the grandfather said, "When your uncle comes back, I will go with him to invite those people." ”
The eldest aunt slapped her face and said, "That's good, when your uncle comes back, I'll go with your father to invite someone for you." You go home first to see the child crying, no one at home can coax you, and your mother-in-law is not a person who can coax the child. When the wine is finished, I am busy and come back to live for a while with my two children."
I watched my grandfather not want to leave so soon, and wanted to spend a little more time with him. Grandpa waved his hand at me and said, "Go home, see the child cry." I'll come back with the baby in two days. ”
"Well, then I'll go back, and I'll be back in two days for a longer stay. ”
"Well, go for it"
When I got home, the two little babies hadn't woken up yet, and my mother-in-law was sitting under the tree watching her babies again. I started cleaning the yard and putting away some unused things in the barn on the west side. Sweep the yard again, clean up the garbage, and after sweeping the yard, it is already four o'clock in the afternoon. Feels like they're supposed to be delivering the table soon. I put away the six bags of rice that I had dried, put them back in the old cabinet and put them on the lid, and put some miscellaneous items on them to disguise them.
"Baby...... Wa'er ...... "When the two children woke up, they picked up their daughters to breastfeed them first, and asked their sons to wait for a while, probably sensing my presence." My son didn't cry and stared at me when my daughter was breastfeeding, probably thinking about why you gave your sister food first and didn't feed me first. I'll admit, I'm a little biased when it comes to two kids. After all, in her previous life, her daughter died at a very young age, and her body was weaker than her brother when she was born. I love her more than my son.
The child who is full of moon is no longer sleeping when he is full. When he's full, he'll play for a while. It's especially fun to wave your arms and kick your calves. Playing and playing, he fell asleep without energy.
Seeing the two children fall asleep, I went to the back garden to pick vegetables again. I'm going to use a lot of vegetables tomorrow, so I'm picking a lot of them today, and I'm picking all the dishes in baskets.
A basket of peppers, a basket of persimmons, a basket of eggplants, a basket of cucumbers, and a basket of beans, our family still can't eat so many dishes because of my mother-in-law and I. That's why we can pick baskets one by one, and in ordinary people's homes, there will be six or seven people in each family. Persimmons and cucumbers, if they are planted less, are not enough for the children at home, and they cannot be used for cooking at all. (Tomato = persimmon, this is the name of Tohoku).
When, when, when......
There was a knock at the gate, it should be Uncle Guo who came to deliver the table.
When I opened the door, I saw that Uncle Guo and Brother Guo had pulled a cart of tables and stools.
"Uncle Guo, come in and rest for a while, you're tired, it's hard work, I'll pour you some water to drink."
"Tired or not, if you're really thirsty, pour us some water," Uncle Guo said with a smile.
After a few sips of water, I removed the tables and stools from the car and went again, and I was busy until six o'clock. The tables and stools were also borrowed, and the vegetables were bought.
Aunt Guo came and said that everyone had been found, and she would wait for tomorrow to start.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is my mother-in-law, and I am afraid that there will be many people coming tomorrow, which will make my mother-in-law feel uneasy, and her condition will deepen. I'll just have to talk to her tonight, it should make a difference.
