Chapter Forty-Nine: The Warm House Feast
Zhang Xiaofeng said that he wanted to let the children eat a little more happily, Wang Yong said, "The dishes are so good, enough to eat, they will definitely make these little cubs eat to the fullest, you don't care, if there is an unexpected guest, there is a spare table will not be blind at that time."
Several little daughters-in-law are busy in the kitchen.
When Dr. Jiang came, he saw a courtyard of people, and said with a smile, "I'm going to help today, I came early, I didn't expect you to be earlier, Duoduo quickly put away the things, and I also helped." ”
Dr. Jiang's gift is a pair of pale cyan wide-mouthed plum vases, more than a foot high, this gift is both elegant and intimate. Zhang Xiaofeng placed it directly in the living room.
After a while, Zhang Xiaofeng's parents and brothers arrived, the ox cart they hired was from the village, and he was also familiar with Uncle Zhang, Zhang Xiaofeng kept people, he refused to do anything, and finally Zhang Xiaofeng stuffed him with a piece of meat, he said that he would not charge money when he came to pick up people at night, so she was stained with Zhang Xiaofeng's niece.
The stubborn old man Zhang Yixing said, "One yard is one yard, what Xiaofeng gives you is what she honors you." ”
Uncle Zhang said, "Nacheng, Brother Trailwalker, next time anyone gossips about my niece, I will definitely gag him, my niece is no worse than the other, and it is not the turn of those people to chew their tongues." ”
Zhang Yixing waved his hand, and then went to the backyard with his two sons carrying the bamboo cage, and the children were also playing in the backyard, and they all gathered around when they heard the sound of small animals in the bamboo cage.
Zhen Dabao grabbed Zhang Yixing's hand and said, "Grandpa, is this for my puppy?"
The stubborn old man smiled and scratched his little nose and said, "It's not a puppy for you to play with, this is a hunting dog, especially fierce, it's for your house." ”
Zhang Honglang, the uncle of the Zhang family, said with a smile, "The puppy is still alive, don't bite you anymore, don't surround it, go play." ”
The children did not listen to him and continued to watch.
Zhang Hongshun, the second uncle of the Zhang family, carried the bamboo cage and put the little pig into the pigsty first, and saw that his eldest brother was still there to persuade the children bitterly, and smiled, "Big brother, no matter how much you say, it's useless, don't let these little guys take a look, they won't leave"
One of Li Youwei's twins said, "Let's take a look", and the other also said, "Let's take a look", and after speaking, he also used his little finger to compare a small posture, which means that I just look at it and a small look, and that small look is cute.
The stubborn old man Zhang Yixing said with a smile, "Okay, then take a look, don't get started, this is a hunting dog, fierce and ruthless, and you don't have to talk about biting things."
Inside the basket are two black puppies, one is a pure black male dog, and the other has a plum blossom-shaped yellow fur around the neck, which is a little female dog, both puppies are very energetic, barking at the children.
The children really just looked at it obediently and walked away. Uncle Zhang Honglang temporarily put the puppy in the chicken coop, and the puppy kept barking.
After that, the father and son were arranged by Tian Yong to sit on the upper seat in the living room, this family is Zhang Xiaofeng's house in the eyes of outsiders, so her father and brothers are the most qualified to sit at the table.
Zhang Xiaofeng's two sisters-in-law were originally afraid that Zhang Xiaofeng would take the child back to live, and no matter how good the relationship between the two families was, they couldn't withstand the trivial things that would be consumed day after day, but now they are finally relieved, no one will be stupid to go back to live with their brother and sister-in-law in this house and this yard. The two sisters-in-law were even more enthusiastic, put down the basket in their hands and went to the kitchen to help, and when they saw the piles of meat, they knew that this girl had really lived a prosperous life, and she would not worry about their three melons and two dates at all.
Zhang Cuihua smiled and teased, "The two sisters-in-law are wearing a board and come to the kitchen, don't be afraid of soiling your clothes"
Sister-in-law Liu Jinyu glanced at Zhang Cuihua, "It's not a good dress, do you have to look like a painting when you put it on, you can only put it on and look at it, don't do any work, how can our peasant family be so exquisite." I finally put on a new dress, and let Cuihua girl make a joke of you."
The second sister-in-law, Wang Ermei, answered and said, "What the sister-in-law said is, no matter what you wear, this kitchen must be entered, just Xingcuihua, you help Xiaofeng sister to work, we can't go to the kitchen when we are sisters-in-law, we have the same heart for Xiaofeng sister."
Uncle Li's family brought two exquisite carved jewelry boxes when they came, and such things were only willing to be made by large families with rich silver.
In addition to these companies, there are also a few familiar ones, Zhen Duoduo doesn't know each other very well. Zhang Xiaofeng also invited the village chief and the patriarch. In the end, the children are all surnamed Zhen, and it is difficult to support them alone, so they still have to help each other with the clansmen.
Zhang Hongkang, the village chief of Beishuo Village, is a chubby old man, his eyes are always smiling into a line, he came to eat wine and brought a bag of dried shrimp, Zhen Duoduo has not seen any seafood sold in Kaiping County, this gift is really not light.
The patriarch old man's name is Zhen Zongshen, he is a thin old man, he looks more serious, and the folds on his face are like a knife. He was a practical one, and gave a gift of one or two directly.
Zhen Zongshen also supported an old man who was older than him, the village chief stepped forward and called "Seventh Uncle" and held the old man's other hand, the old man patted the village chief's hand and said, "I just don't worry, come and see, it's a doll in my Zhen family, no matter where I live, I have to protect Ichigo, or I won't be able to bear it in my heart, and I can't protect them for a few days when I'm old, and a few children will ask Hongkang to you and Zongshen, and you will take care of them more in the future." ”
"Uncle Seven, don't worry, I promise not to let outsiders bully the children, but you can't let go, this big and small matter is still clear to your old man, and yours can grasp the general direction for me and Zong Shen. "The seventh uncle is the father of the patriarch Zhen Zongshen, he is very famous in the village, and he is also benevolent and righteous.
The day was beautiful, and the banquet officially opened at noon.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Zhen Duoduo wondered, who would come over at this time? With the patriarch and the village chief here, those people in the Zhen family's old house would not be so blind, so they would come over to make trouble at this time, right?
A middle-aged housekeeper-like person respectfully handed over a post, and the village chief and the patriarch knew that they were from a large family as soon as they saw the housekeeper's courtesy, and they also got up to help greet them.
What about Zhen Duoduo, who is in charge of the house? She is sitting at a table with the little dolls. She wants to greet guests, others still think that this is looking down on others, and Zhang Xiaofeng still has to do this thing of welcoming guests.
"I learned that the owner of your house set up a warm house banquet today, and my young lady sent a congratulatory ceremony on behalf of the Kaiping County Order, and I took the liberty to come, and I asked for forgiveness for the inconsiderateness" After the middle-aged housekeeper finished speaking, a maid got down from a carriage behind and opened the curtain, and then another woman dressed as a maid got out of the car with a little Lori in her arms.
