Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Lantern Festival
The dinner of the Lantern Festival is naturally sumptuous, this meal is considered a New Year's dinner, and after today, it means that the festival of the Lunar New Year is officially over.
Wei Hongyu made six dishes, three meat and three vegetarian dishes - pepper and salt pork ribs, cumin mutton, braised hairtail, and vegetarian dishes such as black and cabbage, beans, and bean sprouts.
In the end, she planned to make a spring roll with shredded radish and pork filling, so she specially called Liang Xuetao and asked him to take out two large white radishes from the space, but after taking it, she thought about it and returned one.
Liang Xuetao was puzzled.
Wei Hongyu explained: "One is enough, and two is a bit wasteful. ”
Liang Xuetao didn't think so, what can a radish be worth, and do you have to think about it? However, his face was not shown at all, but nodded with an affirmative attitude and said: "Yes, take as much as you eat, and you must not waste it." After thinking about it, he felt that the strength was not enough, and added, "My daughter-in-law will take care of the house!" ”
Wei Hongyu pursed her lips and didn't speak.
When it was time to eat, a family of five had a beautiful and full meal.
After eating, according to the previous practice, the children were going out to dry the lantern at this time, for this reason, Liang Xuetao tied an oval lantern with bamboo strips in the afternoon, pasted a layer of white paper on it, and fixed a red candle with lead wire at the bottom of the lantern.
Liang Dou is well-behaved and sensible, knowing that there is nowhere to buy a lamp this year, and he is very happy to carry the lantern made by his father.
As a result, he didn't see a single figure after turning around, and after being discouraged for a while, he simply took a step towards Liang Xuejun's house.
Liang Dong is the same age as him, the two of them usually like to play together, Liang Dou returned to Datian Village for a short time, and he didn't know many children of the same age, and only Liang Dong had a good relationship.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Liang Xuejun's house, I heard Liang Dong's crying voice from inside, "I don't want it, I don't want such an ugly lantern!" ”
Liang Dou poked his head and looked in, Liang Dong was sitting under the eaves at the gate of the courtyard, crying, a white lantern was knocked over to the ground in front of him, Liang Xuejun on the side looked a little angry, and was pointing at him and shouting and scolding.
"Third uncle, Liang Dong!" Liang Dou jumped over.
"Brother Doudou!" Liang Dong stood up, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said hello a little shyly.
Liang Dou is one year older than Liang Dong, Liang Dong used to call Liang Dou by his nickname, and later Mrs. Liang specially reprimanded Liang Xuejun for this matter, and since then, Liang Dong obediently began to call Liang Dou his brother.
"Doudou is here, let's come inside." Liang Xuejun said with a smile.
Liang Dou shook his head and raised the lantern in his hand, "Third uncle, I want to go out to dry the lantern." ”
Liang Dong was teasing a few white-haired puppies on the side, and when he heard Liang Dou say this, he turned his head to look at it, originally he thought that the lantern made by his father was not good-looking, and then he looked at the lantern in Liang Dou's hand, and he was immediately happy, picked up the lantern on the ground, and said with great interest: "I'll go with you." ”
The two little ones had just taken steps towards the courtyard gate, when He Wei's voice suddenly came from the house, "Don't go anywhere, stay at home for me." As he spoke, the person also rushed out, and he couldn't help but drag Liang Dong and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Liang Dou timidly stepped forward and called her, "Third aunt." He Wei ignored it, let alone reply, and didn't even give a look.
Liang Dong grabbed the door frame and refused to go in, He Wei was so angry that he couldn't help but slap him a few times.
"Wow"
Liang Xuejun saw that his son was crying aggrievedly, and hurriedly took steps to follow, walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered Liang Dou behind him, so he turned around and smiled a little embarrassedly, and waved his hand: "Doudou, it's cold at night, go home quickly." ”
Liang Dou returned home sullenly, Wei Hongyu saw that he looked dejected, touched his little face distressedly, and asked softly: "Why is Doudou unhappy?" ”
"Did someone bully you?" Liang Juan stared at a pair of almond eyes, and her voice suddenly raised an octave.
Liang Dou shook his little head, "No one bullied me, I'll go to Aunt Liang Dong and don't let him come out with me, Mom, I don't like her!" ”
"She, which she?" Wei Hongyu was puzzled.
Liang Dou's dark eyes looked at him a little timidly, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, "Third aunt." ”
"What do you like her? She's not our mother. Liang Juan sneered, with a thick mockery in her words.
"Juanjuan!" Wei Hongyu glared at her, turned around and asked Liang Dou again, "Why don't you like your third aunt?" ”
Liang Dou told him what he had seen at Liang Xuejun's house before, then pouted and muttered aggrievedly, "The third aunt is so fierce that she ignores me." ”
At this time, Liang Xuetao walked in from outside, and when he heard Liang Dou say this, he didn't care about the cause and effect, and directly gave his son an instruction, "Don't pay attention to your third aunt in the future." ”
"That's it, I won't pay attention to her in the future." Liang Juan nodded in agreement.
Wei Hongyu was so troubled by this colluding father and daughter that she thought about it, first blew them both out without saying a word, and then secretly thought about it, and then began to educate Liang Dou.
It's a pity that she has a low education and doesn't have a wide range of knowledge, so she just said a few words over and over again - the third aunt is an elder, and as a junior, you must respect your elders
She spoke slowly, and her voice was slightly delicate, for Liang Dou, it was neither convincing nor as shocking as Liang Xuetao, the little guy was completely impatient after listening to it for a while, pretending to rub his eyes, and then yawned again, and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy." ”
Wei Hongyu saw that the time was indeed not early, so she got up and led Liang Dou to the bathroom, washed her face and feet, and went to the east wing to tidy up the bed covers, and then went back to the hall.
Liang Xuetao and Liang Juan were leaning on the sofa and saying something at this time, and immediately closed their mouths when they saw her come in.
Seeing this, Wei Hongyu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, thought about it, didn't stay in the hall, and went straight back to the room.
"Who?"
"Mom, it's me."
As soon as Wei Hongyu heard that it was Liang Juan, she got up and opened the door and asked her what was wrong.
Liang Juan put her arms around her and asked with a smile, "Mom, are you angry with me?" Seeing that Wei Hongyu bowed her head and was silent, she hurriedly explained, "My father and I are also angry for a while, and we are wronged for Doudou."
"It's just a small thing"
"It's a small thing, but it can also see the essence of a person."
Wei Hongyu was most afraid that Liang Juan would be more serious, and when she saw that her posture seemed to be arguing about being ugly, she suddenly waved her hand with a headache, "Don't say it, what's the matter with you?" It's okay, I'm going to sleep. ”
"It's nothing, I'll just ask if you're still angry with me?"
Wei Hongyu glanced at her, "You are my daughter, can I deal with you?" ”
Liang Juan smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.
