Chapter 31: Housewarming Wine
March 18 was soon approaching. The www.biquge.info Lin Guilu family has made a lot of preparations for this, because if all the children of the relatives come on this day, there will be more than a dozen. The utility room where the pickle jar and sauerkraut jar are stored are locked, and a notice was posted in the store two days ago saying that the store is happy and has a day off on March 18. The major restaurants and restaurants were sent early in the morning and were not affected. On the seventeenth day, the Qi family took a few children to clean up the house, and bought all kinds of chickens, ducks and pork. Naturally, the vegetables were pulled from their own fields. I bought a few more jars of liquor. Dishes are served on a four-table basis. Mother and daughter cooked a few catties of glutinous rice at home in the afternoon, minced pork, stirred with glutinous rice, added green onions, ginger, cooking wine, salt, and then kneaded into a ball and fried in an oil pot. The meat dumplings that come out of this way have a good taste and are not greasy. A few big roosters and old ducklings were kept for the time being, and they had to get up and kill them early the next morning. Pick the vegetables and prepare them first. The fish also has to be eighteen to buy fresh in the morning.
Lin Yukou also came back on the day of the seventeenth, and only took one day off, and the nineteenth had to go back. The women in the family were busy, and he and Brother Lin were busy with one of the shops, and the other helped with some sundries, errands and other work. There are also only two tables in the house, and there is a shortage of tables and stools. You have to borrow two sets from your neighbors. Fortunately, Sun Laoliu's family, who opened groceries, was at the end of the alley, and he borrowed a square table and four benches from his family. There is also a neighbor on the opposite door, Lao Zhou's family, who also borrowed a square table and stool. After the family finished their work in the evening, they all went to bed early, and the next day they were still busy.
Before dawn on the morning of the eighteenth, Lin Guilu's family got up early. Lin Guilu naturally went to deliver vegetables and collect swill, and after returning to the countryside, he picked up Mr. Lin and the Jiang family and Lin Guifu's family by the way. The pig was entrusted to the neighbor to take care of it for a day. Lin Guixi's family borrowed another boat. After all, Lin Guilu's boat was too small for a dozen or so people to carry it. After several families got on the boat, they set off for Qintong Town. When the family arrived at Lin Guilu's house, the Qi family was busy in the kitchen, and Lin Yujuan and Lin Xiujuan were plucking duck feathers in the yard. Lin Yukou was killing fish, and Lin Yusuo was also helping to hand a knife and scissors on the side, helping to fetch water and run errands, and they were all very busy. When the eldest aunt and her two daughters arrived, they naturally stepped forward to help, but the third aunt squinted her eyes but did not come forward to help. As soon as Qi saw that his uncle's house had arrived, he hurriedly came out to see his in-laws, greeted everyone and went to work again. And let Lin Yusuo go to the hall to greet grandparents, uncles, cousins, and cousins. He took out the peanuts and melon seeds that he had fried at home, and the pastries he had bought on the street, and poured a bowl of water for everyone.
"Grandpa, grandma drink water. Uncle, third uncle and third aunt, you all drink water. Lin Yusuo said politely.
"Hehe, you kid haven't seen him for a few days, and he's grown again." Old man Lin was also happy to see his grandson.
"Yes, second brother, I think your two boys are quite sensible. is smart and capable, like a few in my family, they know that they are naughty and can't do anything. Lin Guixi looked very envious.
The third aunt Wang was not happy when she heard this, no matter how good it was, it was not her own son. She thinks all of her three sons are very good, and she uses praise to others to belittle her son. Her daughter Lijuan stood aside and felt that it was boring here, and it was all men who stayed here with adults by themselves. So he whispered in Wang's ear: "Mom, these are all adults here, I'm going to the yard." After speaking, he went out without waiting for Wang's answer. In the yard, the two sisters of the uncle's family and the two sisters Lin Xiujuan were cleaning up the duck feathers. The eldest aunt went to the kitchen to help the Qi family. When Lin Lijuan arrived in the yard, she naturally chatted with her sisters.
Lin Yujuan raised her head when she heard the movement and glanced at Lin Lijuan, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed. Little Lori, Lin Lijuan came to be a guest today wearing a semi-new rose-red jacket, and the style of the clothes is also average. But Lin Lijuan no longer needs clothing or anything to add points. Although she is only thirteen years old, she can no longer hide her natural beauty. The eyebrows are very beautiful, the shades are also very dependent, a pair of eyes are watery, looking at you as if they are talking, small and straight nose, ruddy little mouth. The face shape is also a standard melon seed face, and the skin on the face is also very white, with almost no spots. There is nothing bad about this hair from the eyes to the nose and the face to the chin, and it is so coordinated together. Lin Yujuan is strange, this cousin doesn't know who she looks like, she can be so beautiful, and in two or three years, it is estimated that the matchmaker will really break through the threshold of their family.
To say that Lin Xiujuan and Lin Yujuan sisters are not bad, but they are still worse than Lin Lijuan. If Lin Lijuan can score ninety, their sisters will only have seventy or eighty points. Among the people I have seen, only the eldest cousin of the eldest aunt's family can compare with her, but the two are not the same style. Lin Lijuan is bright and beautiful, and the eldest cousin is indeed gentle, demure, dignified and generous. Because Lin Sujuan often works in the fields, the skin on her face has turned slightly black, and her cheeks are slightly red, and her sister Lin Tiejuan is also slightly darker than Xiujuan's sisters. And the boys of the third uncle's family are not bad in appearance, and they all have good facial features. This old Lin family really doesn't have a long ugly one, what kind of crooked mouth, slanted eyes, buckteeth and the like, that is not one. That's a rare achievement. Lin Yujuan is actually a bit of an appearance association, not to mention a handsome guy, she loves to look at beautiful women. I was thinking about it in my heart, when I heard Lin Yujuan say, "Eldest sister, second sister, Yujuan, I'll also help." ”
Lin Xiujuan said with a smile: "Okay, Lijuan, you can help wash this Ma Lantou and wolfberry head." Jade Lock - Bring the water quickly. ”
"It's coming, it's coming, sister, don't shout. I'll pour you half a bucket of water and carry it again. Lin Yusuo quickly poured all the water in the wooden bucket into the vegetable basin, and went to the river to fetch water again.
"Suo'er, I'll go with you." Lin Yukou also carried a wooden bucket in his hand and went to the river together.
"Xiujuan, Yujuan, your home is so beautiful. The snow-white walls look so comfortable. If only I could have it in the future. Lin Lijuan said enviously.
"Hehe, Lijuan, someone will come to your house in two years to propose marriage. If you don't mention anything else, just say that you want a brick house and a white lime wall. Lin Sujuan quipped.
Lin Lijuan, who was ashamed of a word, never raised her head. The other four sisters can't laugh, why is this Lijuan's temperament so weak. It is said that as far as her mother's fierce personality is concerned, she has not inherited it at all.
In the kitchen, the two concubines of the Qi family and the Zhang family were also chatting with their voices lowered while they were busy. The topic is naturally Wang, who has not come here. It stands to reason that it is normal for these relatives to do things, and it is normal for concubines to help each other. Could it be that her family won't need help from others in the future?
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with these three aunts? Are you still angry about the little things that happened a few years ago? Not really, right? Qi Shi was a little puzzled.
"Hehe, she's giving us a look on the face. This time, the two of us raised pigs together, and she knew that she would give me a face in the future. I didn't even pay attention to her. The second family's family also embarrassed you. Zhang said the reason.
"Oh, that's it, isn't this sister-in-law, your house close to mine. And Su Juan and Tiejuan are so capable and sensible. I don't know how relieved I am to have the two of them looking at me. Her family, hey, I don't know how many rights and wrongs there are when she does things together with her careful eyes. The third uncle is also very good, so let's take care of anything else in the future. ”
It was almost noon when the two aunts' houses arrived. It may be that the road is relatively far, the two children of the eldest aunt's family have not come, and she has only reported a little girl to the aunt's house. I thought it was born by herself, but when I asked, I found out that she had raised it. After the relatives arrived, the dishes have also been prepared, including the indispensable braised pork balls, sauerkraut fish, braised pork with garlic sprouts, sour radish and duck soup, as well as fragrant dried maran, stir-fried wolfberry head, boiled dried shreds, and braised chicken nuggets. Adults and children sat on nearly four tables, two tables in the house, the sun was very good today, not cold, so there were also two tables in the yard, close to the kitchen is in Qi's two plus two children sitting. Lin Xiujuan was almost busy, and she also sat on the table to eat a few bites, and if there was anything on the other table that needed to be served, she immediately put it down to help. As a result, this table was the most free, and there were no adults to restrain it, and the younger children ended up running to this table.
Because the countrymen usually eat less fish and meat, who does something. It depends on whether there is a lot of meat on the dinner table, so Lin Guilu's family bought all the usual food. Any more is not generous, it is a waste. There are mostly two tables of children in the courtyard, so everyone is full and scattered. When the man in the house drank wine, he talked too much, and he talked endlessly. The last three tables were cleaned up, and let them brag about the wine there. The Qi family cleaned up the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks. The kitchen was also cleaned up, and I chatted with the girl and the two sisters-in-law in the wing room next to the kitchen. After a while, Jiang was not interested in staying in the hall and went to the wing room to talk to his two daughters. This conversation is naturally a little girl in the hand of the little aunt. This little girl has not been walking for long, and she has not yet finished speaking. But the mouth is quite able to speak, and I am not afraid of life when I see so many people. The long ones are also pink and tender, Lin Yujuan likes it when she sees it. I played with it in my hand for a long time, in fact, Lin Yujuan likes such a young child the most, especially the cute and cute. She gave the little girl a lot of saliva kisses on the face.
(I'm sorry for the late, everyone has a happy Dragon Boat Festival, the past two days have been a little messy, what do you have, please leave a message.) )
