Chapter 7: The Bride Enters the Door

"Auntie! Great Auntie! When will you be seated? We're going to eat quickly and go pick up the bride with Xiaohu! "Two and a half boys ran in from outside the courtyard. A brand new dress, neatly organized, neat and tidy. High spirits! The eyes of the aunts who watched lit up. It's funny!

"Roar! Who's this kid! Dressed up so handsome! How?! Anxious to marry a daughter-in-law?! "Knowing that it is Xiaohu's cousin, I have to deliberately pretend not to know.

"Hey, there's no way around it, this bride isn't yours, it's useless to be anxious!"

"Ahh Oh my mother, look at these two children, why are their faces so red? Could it be that you are really in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law?! Don't worry, don't worry! Catch up with Ming'er, my aunt will definitely give you two plum blossom feet to be a daughter-in-law" People here love to use "plum blossom feet" as a daughter-in-law to tease children. Many children don't know that "plum blossom little feet" is a puppy, and they will always happily agree: "Okay! All right! "It often causes laughter!

The eldest aunt was watching her eldest son and the eldest of the second brother's family on the side, standing there with a blushing face, and being teased by the aunts and leaving was not at a loss, hehe smiled! Busy solving the siege: "The two of them were in Zhuangzi a few days ago, borrowing clothes everywhere, saying that they must go with Xiaohu to pick up the bride!" How do you know that when Xiaohu's daughter-in-law made clothes for Xiaohu, she also invited several brothers and daughters-in-law of the sixth master's family to help and made a dress for all of us. Last night, a few of the children refused to take off their new clothes. As soon as the sky dawned today, I was wearing new clothes everywhere! I didn't do anything anymore, saying that I was afraid that my new clothes would get dirty. They are coming over now, they must have been scolded by my second brother and sister in the new house! ”

The eldest aunt smiled at the eldest son again: "Daman! Go and call all the people over there in the new house! This is the time for the table, and you guys are going to pick up the new ones and serve them first. Tell the second aunt that the red envelopes must be prepared enough! ”

"Yes!" Daman pulled his cousin and ran!

On the side of the new house, Xiaohu's second aunt is busy with chores such as red envelopes, and she has two copper coins in one bag. There were twenty of them. Eighty red envelopes with candy were also packed, which were distributed to the children. Because she was afraid that the children would rob her, she was alone in the room with the door in front of her! I'm so busy!

This candy is not the kind of high-end candy in the 21st century, and the candy here is still handmade by Liu Erya.

Liu Erya saw that their family was really difficult, so she thought that she had done it herself. She first soaked the glutinous rice for two or three hours, and then used several layers of steaming grids, put a thin one on each layer, and then put it in a pot to steam, and after steaming, it was dried in a thin row with a large dustpan, and then turned over the other side after drying. Autumn is sunny and there is no need to get too dry, so two suns are enough.

Then break the sun-dried rice balls, not too much, just like a grain of rice. Then stir-fry over low heat (preferably straw fire), if there are pebbles the size of a little finger, the effect is better. Then boil the purchased maltose cubes into a pulp, put the fried rice and fried crispy peanuts, mix it and put it in the mold while it is hot. This is made into peanut candy.

She made a total of four kinds of sugar, peanut candy, sesame candy, ginger raw sugar, and white cut candy with nothing. It's a pity that although it is delicious, the appearance is really bad, yellow, and ugly. The white one that no one sells is eye-catching. Facing the admiration of grandpa's family, Er Ya was very ashamed. There's no way, it's really unprofessional!

When the candy is still soft, it is cut into the size of an adult's index finger! There are four in a small red envelope, the same one, coaxing children, and there are all comes. The adult returns the gift, just like half a catty wrapped into two one-pound big red envelopes.

gave more than half of Xiaohu's family, and left a small half of grandpa's house, because the real guests went to Xiaohu's house, and grandpa's house was just a scene, and there was no banquet! Those who were also left were there to pick up new ones and the little ones who came to see the bride.

The boys who had eaten were in high spirits and followed the groom to pick up the bride. When I arrived at my grandfather's house, the children who grabbed the red envelopes didn't know if it was the explanation of the adults in the family, they all only needed candy packets, not copper coins and red envelopes. Until the bride was brought to the new house, the copper coin and red envelope were not sent out, and Xiaohu was stuffed to Erya.

Erya is in the new house, sit down. The eldest aunt and the second aunt brought the children to introduce the two to one by one.

The eldest aunt pulled Xiaohu's younger brother and introduced Liu Erya: "Niece and daughter-in-law, this is Xiaolong, almost three years old." ”

Erya bent down and picked up Xiaolong and said with a smile: "Oh, I have known the little master of our family for a long time, and I want delicious food every day." Then he patted Xiaolong's belly and asked, "Xiaolong, have you eaten a lot of delicious food today?" ”

Xiaolong nodded very seriously, "Hmm! There are so many delicious foods today, I can't eat them. With a tangled face, a room full of people laughing!

The eldest aunt introduced several children to her family, the eldest is a daughter named Hongxia, who is twenty this year and has been married for nearly four years, and has been married for one year after keeping her grandmother's filial piety. At present, she has given birth to two, a son is less than three years old, and a daughter is less than a year old. Because she doesn't have much dowry, and she always tries to supplement her family, her mother-in-law can't bear to divide it. Liu Erya has not seen her eldest brother-in-law until now, but listening to Xiaohu, the eldest brother-in-law is also kind. I often secretly send rice and noodles over! The aunt and uncle didn't let him send it, and he said that he wouldn't send it in the future, and he would send it over again after a while. said that the eldest brother-in-law also came today, but he was embarrassed to come in! Erya gave two children, two red envelopes for each person. One is for copper coins and the other is for candy!

The second child is also a daughter named Hongyun, eighteen this year, and she has been married for less than a year, because she has been married for a year of filial piety by her grandfather, so it is a little late. (The corners of Liu Erya's mouth twitched, she got married at the age of seventeen, is it too late?) Gave birth to a daughter, just a full moon! The second brother-in-law also came and was helping to entertain the guests!

The third is a son, sixteen years old, and he has not yet decided on a marriage, so he is already a little anxious. The eldest Si Dahong is also a son, fourteen years old. The youngest is also a daughter named Hongguo, who is nine years old!

The eldest aunt introduced one, and Liu Erya gave a red envelope. Both are two, one for copper coins and one for candy. Several children were also giggling, and even wanted to grab another one. were all stopped by Xiaohu.

After the eldest aunt was introduced, the second aunt came on the stage. The second aunt's family, three daughters and three sons, the first three are all daughters, the eldest is called Hongxiu, the second is the same age as the eldest aunt but the younger month, the third among the cousins, and he was also married in the same year. There are no children yet. The second is called Hongye, sixteen years old, the fourth sister in line, and has set a wedding date to get married in the spring of next year. The fourth son is called Xiangzi, which means that the second aunt thought about her son very much. less than fifteen years old, a few months younger than Xiaohu and a few months older than Dahong, the third oldest of the brothers; The fifth child is also a son called Xiaolaizi, which means that there is another son. The twelve-year-old brother is the fifth in line. The sixth is also a son named Anzi, who is five years old this year, because he caught up with his grandmother who died and his grandfather fell ill. The family wants to be safe, so they named him Anzi.

Similarly, Erya also gives a red envelope when introducing one, and everyone is two, regardless of size.

In fact, most of the children of the two families already know each other. But today is an official meeting, so, even if it's hee-hee-ha, you pushed me. However, they all honestly greet Erya! Erya also seriously reacquaints himself to show that he attaches great importance to such a family meeting.

The guests saw their families meet and it was over. They all came in and let the bride and groom make candy. The so-called candy is just an ugly candy made by Erya. But everyone is very face-saving, saying that it is delicious, fragrant and crispy, and it is much more delicious than the one bought on the market.

Even if you do it yourself, there are not so many. Er Ya opened the package that the big brought over and wrapped in candy. To put it bluntly, one person can only give two.

"Good!" A few still have immature voices, taking the lead! Er Ya didn't care so much, holding the package and starting to send it in turn, a few boys, deliberately coaxed, to grab the package in Erya's hand, and was protected by Xiaohu. Xiaolong hugged the eldest uncle's neck with both hands, watched his sister-in-law have less and less candy in her hand, and kicked her legs in a hurry.

It's lively, and time flies. When the sun was about to set (about five o'clock), someone from there shouted for the main seat! The so-called main table means that one dish is served one dish at a time, and when the second dish is served, the plate of the first dish must be removed. And the third dish must be balls, when this dish is served, the chef will ask the host for a red envelope, give the red envelope and then serve the balls. After the first six dishes are served, the next six dishes will be served together. There are twelve in total. There can be meat and vegetarian pairings, but there can't be any vegan dishes.

The first dish is shredded chicken, which is paired with a thousand pieces (called bean skin in some places). It is made with pure chicken broth and tastes quite good.

Among the few seats in the courtyard, someone was surprised: "Oops! Shoufajia's dish is really real, and there is almost half of this shredded chicken. Who's family doesn't have more than a thousand seats! Fortunately, there are not many tables, otherwise there may not be enough chickens. ”

A distant cousin happened to be sitting at the same table, busy explaining: "That's the case, we have chickens at home, and almost all of them have brought one, and the eldest brother Shoufa didn't let them stay, so they were all slaughtered." The old chicken made shredded chicken, and the tender chicken made sweet potato roast chicken. You will eat more in a while, it is still taught by Xiaohu's new daughter-in-law, it is delicious! "This cousin is close to my grandfather.

"Really? This little tiger is really lucky, I heard that this new daughter-in-law helped them a lot before she even entered the door. She helped find a way to catch the fish on the table today, and she also made the candy herself!? What a candy! I ate well, better than the one I bought! ”

"Yes! That's why she also said that it's not good-looking, it's embarrassing! ”

In the entire Wangjiazhuang, there are only about 20 households, even if all of them are sent out by the whole family, there are not many tables. It only took two times to entertain all the visitors. Those who helped also let them eat the main table and go back. They have a lot of children at home, so they just need to wash the dishes, wipe the table, and clean the back for the children to help with it.

The chef saw that there were still many dishes, so he made two more tables for Xiaohu and his family. The eldest aunt was originally reluctant to keep the dish and eat it slowly in the future. Anyway, it's already cold, and it won't be bad.

It was Liu Erya who saw that there were still a lot of shredded chicken, balls, sweet potato roast chicken in the kitchen, and there were still a lot of things that these children loved to eat (in fact, the chef specially left them), so she told the eldest aunt that she would simply go to the two tables in a formal manner, so that the children at home could enjoy the feeling of sitting!

So the uncle and the second uncle made a table with the boys and sons-in-law of the family, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt made a table with the girls and children of the family.

Xiaohu was at the banquet, and was drunk by several cousins and cousins, and the two elders couldn't stop him.

On the wedding night, Xiaohu vomited all night, and Liu Erya also tossed all night. Fortunately, I recognized my relatives the first day, and I didn't need to get up early to recognize my relatives the next day. Erya wanted to sleep all morning during the day.

As soon as it was dawn, Xiaolong clamored to get up. Erya had no choice but to get up and take care of Xiaolong to get up, wash, and make breakfast for him. Xiaolong was going to go to the second aunt's house to play with his brother after breakfast, and the second girl had to carry him to the second aunt's house. Erya feels that she can fall asleep while walking, she is really sleepy! Sleepy!

Off topic: If you have something tomorrow, pause for a day! I'm sorry!
