Chapter 56: Bow down
"The two of you are chatting hotly, and you don't know how to come to the main room when you get to dinner, and you have to let your eldest brother call it."
Yang Shi saw that Meng Kun and Song Caiwei got along very well, and did not forget to tease, his heart was full of joy, and his face was full of joy. I feel more and more that this is a good business.
"Yes, it must be Wei Yatou, this monkey pestering her little brother to play around."
Su Shi heard what Yang said, so he followed a sentence, and it could be heard from her tone that she and Yang also got along very well, otherwise Su Shi's honest temperament would not speak in front of people who knew him for a day, let alone ridicule.
"Okay, look what you said about the two children, look at the little blushing face."
Meng Hua was happy today, even happier than after he had done any big business, so he also laughed, and by the way, he picked up Song Caiwei and placed her in a position next to him.
But fortunately, the table in Meng Hua's house was big enough, so it didn't look crowded when there were twelve people sitting around a table.
When everyone sat down one by one, the meal had been arranged, with fish, meat and seafood, and more than 20 large plates were made.
First of all, Meng Hua, who was the most 'elvenst' here, said a few words, but the two of them had a fate, how their family liked Song Caiwei, Yunyun, and then they took the wine and beckoned everyone to raise a glass to celebrate.
However, except for Song Qingxiang and Meng Hua, who had wine in their cups, the others were full of fruit wine, but it was this kind of wine with a very low alcohol content, and Song Caiwei frowned when she drank it.
It's not that she can't drink it, if it was in her previous life, a pound of liquor would not be a problem, Song Caiwei would definitely not be a problem, the key is that this fruit wine is really undrinkable and can't be drunk.
But although it was unpleasant, Song Caiwei also sipped the edge of the cup with the corner of her mouth, which was counted as meaning.
After the first glass of wine was drunk, the two families were no longer restrained, they should eat and drink, and they only ate one meal for more than an hour.
After eating, after cleaning up, the big guy drank tea for a while to hydrolyze the greasy, and then it was Song Caiwei's turn to bow down to her godfather and godmother.
But why do you bow down in the afternoon, there are also rules.
Like marrying children is generally at noon, like a funeral is generally chosen in the evening, if it is to worship the godfather and godmother, men generally choose it in the morning, and the earlier the better, and women are in the afternoon, preferably when the sun is half inclined to the west, in Song Caiwei's words, it is around three o'clock in the afternoon.
As for why this rule, Song Caiwei didn't understand, it was just a customary custom here.
This time, Song Caiwei worshiped her godfather and godmother, which is not a big deal here, and even the witnesses don't need it, so she just needs to kneel down and salute Meng Hua and Yang.
However, in the matter of kneeling, as a person who has never bowed in the 21st century, Song Caiwei did not have much resistance, because Song Caiwei thought that there would be kneeling in the future anyway, so she was not ambiguous, straightened her back, and knelt on the cushion prepared for her by the Yang family.
first bowed to Meng Hua, shouted godfather, and Meng Hua, who shouted directly, smiled, and then took out a red envelope and handed it to Song Caiwei.
Then Song Caiwei bowed to Yang again, and shouted to her godmother, and Yang was also full of joy and took out a small gold lock from her arms that said 'Wealth and Peace' and hung it around Song Caiwei's neck.
Then he pulled Song Caiwei up from the ground.
Su Shi saw this scene with a sour heart, and then saw that the kneeling ceremony prepared by Yang for Wei Yatou was so precious, and he knew how much Yang valued Wei Yatou, although Su Shi said that his heart was sour, but he couldn't open his mouth to say to Yang that the ceremony was too precious.
After all, this is the intention that people have carefully prepared for Wei Yatou, and if you really say it, it will be to save people's face.
In this way, a confession banquet ended with Song Caiwei kowtowing.
And Song Caiwei's family gossiped in the Meng family for a while, and waited until the sun was setting west before the Meng family tried their best to keep them before slowly walking towards Shangliu Village.
When I got home, the big guys were already very tired, and everyone was full at noon, so Su didn't go to the small kitchen to cook anymore.
Probably because after a day of tossing, the big guys were very tired, so the family slept peacefully this night.
The next morning was Qingming, and the old man Song asked Zhou to cook the pig's head, steam the steamed buns, and personally prepared some red apples and burning paper, as well as the gold ingots that Zhou's folded yesterday, of course, firecrackers and incense candles are also essential.
However, as far as these things were prepared, several people were busy until midnight before setting off.
Old Man Song was followed by the three brothers of the Song family, followed by several grandchildren's men, from the oldest to the youngest, there were eight people, and a group of female dependents, including the Zhou family, could only follow behind.
When the crowd walked to the foot of the 100,000 Great Mountain, they saw an old man dressed in gray linen, leading a woman with a withered description, and a boy about ten years old waiting there.
The old man was the only younger brother of Old Man Song, named Song Haoze. Song Haoze has only one son, who is Song Qingfeng, the hero in Song Chengwen's mouth that day.
Song Qingfeng is the only son of Song Haoze, three years ago the Tatars invaded the Chu State, and the northern border was in urgent need of reinforcements.
But after only half a year of going to the north, there was frequent bad news, including Song Qingfeng.
As soon as Song Qingfeng died, Song Haoze seemed to have no support, most of his hair turned gray overnight, and his wife Han Ruizi also couldn't afford to get sick after hearing the news, and she is still riddled with old diseases.
Although Song Haoze and Song Erye can still do work, but on weekdays, the Han family does not leave the medicine, and he has to support a child, so Song Haoze's life at home is even more stretched.
In addition, Second Master Song is also a face-loving person, even if he can't live anymore, he has never opened his mouth to Old Master Song.
Besides, he has lived with Old Man Song for decades, so he naturally knows what Old Man Song is like, so even if he can give up his old face, it is unknown whether he can borrow money from Old Man Song in the end.
"Big brother."
Song Haoze had been waiting here for a long time, but when he saw that Old Man Song was coming, his face was as usual, so he shouted.
Similarly, Han and Song Chengshu also saluted, and then stood in the middle of the line.
"Fourth sister."
In the past, the Su family had an excellent relationship with the Han family, and two years ago, Song Qingfeng and Song Qingxiang had an accident one by one, and the two of them had the same illness, so on weekdays, the Su family would always chat with the Han family in their spare time and spit out their bitterness to each other.
In addition, the Su family and the Han family are extremely close in temperament, so naturally the two of them are extremely compatible.
So when Su Shi saw Han coming over, he quickly grabbed Han's skinny hand and shouted in a low voice.
