Grandpa's generation is the Dingzi generation, the full moon wine is Li Dinggui's family, and all the people of the Dingzi generation Li Yu call grandpa, in order to distinguish their own grandfather from other grandfathers, other grandfathers will add the word at the end of their names before.

Li Dinggui's house is in the southeast of Li Yu's house, separated by more than 1,000 meters, and it has been about ten minutes in the past, passing through several households, meeting uncles, aunts, and aunts, and there is a wave of greetings, grandpa introduced on the side, Li Yu followed and shouted, it is really many people who don't remember, look familiar but don't know what to shout.

That is, the relationship between the back village is complicated, the relatives are far away, the surnames and generations have different names, and when you are a child, you can fool the past casually, and the people in the village don't care, and when you are older, you will be said that you don't know the etiquette and have no tutor.

These people were too enthusiastic when they saw Li Yu, and asked him how he was studying outside, did he have a girlfriend, what good job he found, did he get used to living when he came back, and when would he get married?

People asked, and you were embarrassed not to answer, but there were some questions he didn't want to answer, although he knew that these relatives were not malicious, just pure concern and gossip, if you want to say that you don't have a girlfriend, people may introduce you to one the next day, this kindness, you can't shirk it.

Grandpa was dragged to drink tea with the old people of the same generation early in the morning, and he couldn't relieve him, and he was sweating in a hurry, when suddenly a young man shouted from the mouth of the alley, "Dad is here!" The table will be opened immediately, and I will specially call you to eat. ”

Dad is the name of the grandfather of the same clan in the village, (Dingguo Anbang, Li Yu's generation is the Anzi generation, sometimes you can know which generation this person is and what you should shout when you listen to the name, but this is not absolute, and now the name rarely adds its own ranking.) Grandpa is the eldest in the family, and other people with surnames who are later than grandpa can also shout like this, which is to express the meaning of closeness.

This young man Li Yu has the impression that he is the youngest son of Li Dinggui's family, Li Guosong, who got married when he was almost thirty years old.

"Isn't this Xiao Yu? I heard your grandmother say that you came back today, but I didn't expect to arrive so soon, and I was going to drive to pick you up. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Song, I came back by boat, and I didn't have a few steps to come in." Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Li Guosong is really a living Lei Feng!

While talking, grandpa also came out, Li Guosong went up and shouted, said it again, and immediately started the banquet, grandpa said hello to people, said come back and sit again, now go to eat.

On the way, he met some people, all of them went to eat and drink, and the group went to eat in a huge way, Li Yu couldn't help but think of a group of people in high school who were violently killing the cafeteria at noon, but now half of them are old men with white beards.

There are still dozens of meters away from Li Guosong's house, I heard the noise of people, turned a forest, and saw that there were more than a dozen tables in the courtyard of Li Guosong's house, which were already full of people, waiting for the banquet to start.

At the end of the courtyard, there were several boards, on which were potted with chickens, ducks, fish, and all kinds of vegetables, and a dozen or so women were putting them on plates, and after a while, there were plates to be sent to each table, and there was an earthen stove on the very edge, and a large pot was set up, on which were placed the lattices of steamed meat.

The aroma of food wafted above the courtyard, and the people on the table knocked on the table, laughing and shouting, "The master's house is about to start eating, and the people in the second round are in a hurry." ”

The people waiting on the side also began to heckle, "Yes! The host didn't have a few more tables, so we were one step late, and they took the lead. ”

There is a manager on the side, the manager has a very wide position, money and personnel, and a part-time emcee, at this time I heard people complaining, busy out to play a round, "Fathers and fellow villagers, forgive me, the host's place is too small, and you can only put so much at a time, and you are not afraid of being late for a good meal!" Let's start eating! ”

The manager over there has already begun to let the food be served, and arranged for people to prepare for fireworks, fireworks and firecrackers will be set off before the wedding banquet, and the white affairs will be put into three-eyed guns, (a kind of iron grenade-like thing, filled with gunpowder, with a fuse inserted on the side, after ignition, the sound is very loud, like earth-shaking thunder, and there are three, six, and nine rings.) Firecrackers should be set off hundreds of meters away from the place where they eat, otherwise the debris and dirt that will fly up will fall on the table, and the people who eat will not be able to eat, and they will end up complaining, saying that the manager will not come.

Smelling the fragrance, Li Yu's stomach also growled, he had eaten watermelon since he got up in the morning, the watermelon was not hungry, and his stomach was empty when he sweated, but the first round was hopeless, so he had to wait for the second round, and some acquaintances saw his grandfather, gave up his seat, and beckoned his grandfather to sit at the table, and his grandfather smiled and refused one by one.

There are a lot of stools and chairs on the side, which are specially designed for people who have eaten and have not eaten to sit, and grandpa took Li Yu to sit there.

This kind of full moon wine is generally a meal at noon, the hanging ceremony is also at noon, the host will also hold a banquet in the morning and evening, the guests can go to eat, or not, noon is generally a must-go, but now it is May or June, the day is hot, if the dish is not finished, it has to be poured out, there is a refrigerator and it doesn't matter, the villagers do not need to invite the host's family, each family will also come to help the host's family solve some, but compared to the noon drag family with mouth, the number of people is much less.

But eating on a hot day at noon is not pleasant, unlike now that the sun is about to set, and there is an evening breeze, this time eating is the most comfortable.

They are all villagers and know each other, no matter where Li Yu and his grandfather go, they have someone to greet them, and then they start to ask about Li Yu, and then there is a new round of questioning, which makes Li Yu tired of parrying.

Li Yu gradually got used to it, so he said that he was tired of staying outside, and he came back to play for two years, as for what these people think, he didn't bother to care, anyway, they are all from the same village, and there will be no malicious intent, at most a few words, after this freshness will stop.

At this time, after the firecrackers, the first round began to serve, the person who served the food trotted with a plate to deliver the food, the one-meter-long wooden tray was stacked full, one for each table, you need to walk from the kitchen to each table, and you have to be careful to bump into people in the middle, so you have to shout while walking quickly, one trip is nothing, and a few trips back and forth will test the physical arm strength, so the young people are responsible for the end of the plate.

The old man is responsible for cooking, drinking, cleaning up the table, in recent years, most of the young people have gone out to earn money, staying at home are basically some old people, every time someone in the village is doing something, the old people are about to become the main force, this is basically a phenomenon in every rural area, there is no way to judge right or wrong.

At this time, grandma Dai Shimei walked out after being busy in the kitchen, and when she saw Li Yu from afar, she beckoned happily, "Xiao Yu, come here." ”

Li Yu hurriedly walked over, grandma was one year older than grandpa, her body was still very tough, she was full of anger when she spoke, her mouth was full of white teeth, her black hair was not white, and she didn't want to be in her sixties at all.

"Grandma, I want to kill you!" Li Yu hugged his grandmother and said happily.

"I knew that I would make my grandmother happy, and she wouldn't come in to see me when she came." Grandma pretended to complain, but the smile on her face had climbed up her eyebrows. "Xiao Yu, are you tired? Hungry and hungry? Did you get the sun when you came back today? ”

Listening to his grandmother's concerned questioning, Li Yu's heart warmed.

Without waiting for him to reply, his grandmother pulled him into the kitchen, the kitchen was very large, and a dozen or so women were laughing inside, and now that the dishes were ready, they were waiting for the last round of eating, and if they were hungry, they could also eat in the kitchen, the host was allowed, but they would still wait to eat at the table, which was etiquette.

At this time, a middle-aged woman saw Li Yu, looked at it, and then said with a smile, "Auntie, this is your Xiaoyu!" It's so big in a blink of an eye. ”

"It turned out that when I was a child, I was so small, but now I am so much taller than my grandmother!"

"Yes! Our Xiao Yu is so good-looking. ”

"Xiao Yu, are you hungry? This has chicken thighs to eat one. ”――

Hearing the words of the middle-aged woman, the other aunts, aunts, and grandmothers all came around, looked at Li Yu up and down, and said words of praise with a smile in their mouths, and the whole kitchen became lively for a while.

Grandma listened to these words, her face was full of pride, and she introduced these aunts, aunts, and grandmothers to Li Yu with a smile.

Li Yu shouted one by one, and these aunts praised him again, saying that he had such a sweet mouth and treated him as a child, and Li Yu was helpless in his heart.

Then the old drama came, and Li Yu couldn't wait to run away, which is why he knew that his grandmother was in the kitchen but didn't dare to come to see her, and his grandmother was laughing at Li Yu's jokes, so in her heart that her grandson was different and extraordinary, and she didn't look at some children, these aunts and grandmothers didn't bother to ask when they saw it.

But it didn't take long for someone to call them to eat, saying that it was not full outside, this was the last round, let everyone who helped go to eat, Li Yu took this opportunity to divert the topic and said, "Auntie, grandma, you haven't eaten all afternoon, you must be hungry, let's go eat now!" ”

The meals are very rich, although they are all leftovers at noon, there are a lot of chicken, duck and fish, among which there are also Li Yu's boneless phoenix feet that Li Yu loves to eat, that is, the pickled pepper phoenix feet are removed from the bones, and when you eat them, you can chew them directly in your mouth, which is very convenient.

Li Yu was so hungry that he couldn't satisfy his current appetite by chewing slowly, if he was reincarnated like a starving ghost, everyone at the table looked at it, fortunately the monkey came at this time, and he didn't eat when he asked, so he was busy adding a seat next to Li Yu, the monkey looked thin, but the amount of food was not small, the two brothers were in company, and they devoured it for a while, and the wind and clouds made the simple villagers sigh, in the end, it was a young man, and the amount of food was not ordinary.

After eating, the host earnestly retained, saying that mahjong, poker, Kaibao, you can play after eating, and there is supper at night.

The guests are embarrassed to bother the host's family again, the full moon wine is only one meal, and now they have eaten one more meal, and then rub the supper is really too much, play for a while, they all say goodbye, the host sent a basin to a person who came to help, a pack of cigarettes, a towel and a waistband.

By the time I got home, it was already eight o'clock, and it was already dark.
