After the uncles came, the Jiang family began to rise up. The people who came and went were all elders from the clan or village, one was sorry for not standing up for Jiang Quinoa in the first place, and the other was to keep Jiang Quinoa.

The people who came were all elders, and they were also kind, and Jiang Quinoa was not easy to see, but it was also very tiring to be sent every day.

She felt tired, and the people in the village listened to the tangled. If you don't come, everyone else is here, and if you don't come to show that you have no conscience and are ungrateful. But come on, the family's field has not been planted yet, and this delay is half a day.

On the third day, Jiang Quinoa really felt that it was too troublesome every day, so she told Uncle Qing that it was better to hold a farewell banquet, invite everyone in the village, and everyone have a meal together, first, to see her off, and secondly, to celebrate the death of the great drought and the rest of everyone's life.

The village chief and they were very supportive of Jiang Quino's idea, and the patriarch was also invited over this time, and he was also very in favor of this idea, and even felt that he could do something bigger, so that everyone could contribute money and efforts to celebrate together.

Jiang Quinoa thought that he really didn't have much money in his hands, and he didn't know how much it would cost to go to the capital all the way, and he would save if he could.

For fear of delaying farming, the date was set eight days later, so that everyone could have time to prepare.

Everyone is not rich, so the village chief decided that everyone who has money will contribute some money, and those who have no money will contribute.

The village knew that Jiang Quinoa was leaving, and Uncle Qing and Aunt Rong knew that they couldn't stop her, as long as they discussed that Uncle Qing and Jiang Tiezhu would accompany Jiang Quinoa to the capital at that time, Jiang Chun would follow whatever he said. Jiang Quinoa couldn't stop it, so he had to agree.

Jiang Cheng was very moved when he learned that Jiang Quinoa was going to the capital. also wanted to go with him, but he didn't have to refuse, his mother beat him up when he caught him, and locked him at home and didn't allow him to go out.

On the day of the banquet, the north wind was blowing on this day, but it did not cool everyone's enthusiasm. The day in advance, they bought all the things for the banquet. With limited funds, I bought three or four pigs, as well as cheap side dishes like winter melon, corn, pumpkin, etc.

The village chief's wife, the patriarch's wife, and the clan's sisters-in-law have been busy since they bought vegetables yesterday. I bought a whole fan of pork. You have to separate the meat, pork ribs and big bones a little bit, some have to be fried, the ribs have to be boiled in soup, and there are many people in the village. Cooking in a large pot is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Jiang Quinoa, Xingni and these little girls helped wash the vegetables and dishes. Wipe the table, and the young daughters-in-law are cutting vegetables next to them, beating their hands.

This time, there were many people, so I borrowed the big shed behind the ancestral hall, where the place was relatively large, and the stove was also ready-made.

The former brothers of the clan borrowed the tables and chairs that had been vacant from each family and placed them in the shed.

Others are pulling the canopy and blocking it on all sides. Keep the wind from coming in.

There are also a lot of lanterns and wind chimes that are made and hung around the ancestral hall. The wind blows and jingles the bells, crisp and pleasant and lively.

Colorful lanterns are hung under the porch, and children look very strange and circle around the lanterns. There are naughty children crying and shouting to play with lanterns, there are so many children, and the lanterns are definitely not enough. Usually, no matter how much the child's father and mother don't dare to take off the lantern at will, they are worried that the distribution will be uneven, and the child will spoil the atmosphere when he cries.

People come and go around the entire ancestral hall, and they are busy and thriving.

"It's like the New Year." A young sister-in-law said.

The people who were busy together looked up and said with a smile: "The New Year has not been so lively." The Winter Moon Festival four years ago last year was as lively as this, but at that time, everyone wanted to see the Huayuan brother in our clan. ”

"Hua Yuan, who is it? Than there is ...... Uh, the one who recited the sacrificial words last year was still good? "The sister-in-law who spoke didn't marry the Jiang family for a long time, and she had heard Jiang Huayuan's name several times before, and she was very curious about him.

Although the person who replied to her was also a sister-in-law, she was relatively old, and she had participated in the Winter Moon Festival three times, but she was still deeply impressed by Jiang Huayuan's time.

"Little brother Huayuan, that all-round style, that look, looks like an ordinary person. I heard my father-in-law say that Uncle Xun was a little worse than this Huayuan brother at that time. ”

"Huh? So good. The young sister-in-law was surprised.

The eldest sister-in-law said: "That's not it, Brother Hua Yuan came back from the imperial examination the next day after participating in the Winter Moon Festival." People say that this is the blessing of the ancestors, and the feng shui of our Jiangli Village is good. You should also hurry up and give birth to a boy, and let your boy participate in the Winter Moon Festival in eleven or twelve years, and I won't be able to earn a life for you in the future. ”

The young sister-in-law is still thin-skinned, and she is very ashamed when she talks about having children, and she blushes and says, "I want to too." ”

The older sister-in-law also came from this age, thinking that this younger brother and sister had been married to Jiangli Village for two years, and there was no movement in her stomach, so she was anxious when she thought about it, so she came up with an idea: "I heard that if you want to have a child, you will ...... at that time" said for a while, and looked up not far away Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun were also washing vegetables, and these words could not be listened to by the little girl, so she took the young sister-in-law's hand and said: "I want to go to the thatched house, brother and sister, you can accompany me." ”

"Huh? Oh good. The young sister-in-law stood up, took off her apron and followed the older sister-in-law.

Jiang Chun looked at their distant figures with a disappointed expression: "Alas, why don't you leave without finishing your words." Let's talk about the way to give birth to a son, and I'll tell Xingni too. ”

When there are a lot of people, it is a good time to listen to gossip, Jiang Chun listens to the chatting here, and Jiang Qu listens to the aunts talking about the gossip of the village next door.

“…… It's only been two or three months since I got married, and when I fled, I was crowded, and I had to go out to find food, so I was separated. The man searched the road again and again but couldn't find it, so he gave up. At the end of the day, it's all about survival. When the imperial court sent down, he registered his name and returned the man, but when he entered the door, he found that his daughter-in-law had arrived home one step ahead of him. ”

"It turns out that this daughter-in-law was separated from her man, and she happened to meet her man's cousin, and it was a mess outside, and it was always more reassuring to have an acquaintance by her side, so the two went together. Didn't he also be sent back? ”

Someone next to him sighed when he heard it: "Relatives and friends are the ones who pull hands when they are in trouble." This younger brother would have to thank his cousin, if it weren't for his cousin helping to take care of and support him. His daughter-in-law is a woman, where can she survive. ”

"This man didn't beat his cousin to death because he cheapened him, how can you thank him." The aunt who spoke first frowned and pouted.

And all the people are accustomed to it. Hurriedly asked what was going on.

The woman said, "When the man came back, he found that his cousin was sleeping with his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law's stomach was already up. He hadn't seen his daughter-in-law for more than half a year. ”

All of them have been born and raised, and they don't know what it means. It must have been this cousin and brother and sister who fled, and they escaped and got together. At that time, there was no food and clothing, and the day was not safe, and I didn't even know if I could live.

"Ouch. Iniquity. What happened to this woman? Someone asked.

"What else, such a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals, of course it's a sinking pond." The woman said.

"Bang dang", a basket of washed vegetables scattered all over the ground.

"Yikes. Quinoa is heavy, let's move it, where can you little girl move it. ”

"How's that, did you hit your foot?"

"Why are these hands so cold? Is it cold. Hurry up and get in and get some warm. ”

The aunts and sisters-in-law gathered around Jiang Quinoa and asked with concern, Jiang Quinoa shook his head with a white face, and was pulled into the house by one of the sisters-in-law.

The voice behind him was still faintly heard.

The cousin was afraid that the clan would punish him, saying that he was seduced by the woman, and in the end he was also beaten, and the bride price money given by his cousin's daughter-in-law was subsidized to him. If his cousin is rich, he will marry and beat him as a bachelor. The clan pressed him to write an IOU, and he would pay it back slowly later. My relatives said, this money must not be enough......"

In the evening, the banquet is held. Jiang Quinoa came to his senses a little, sat on the seat, and looked at a large pot full of winter melon and corn pork rib soup, fried fragrant braised pork, and sweet pumpkin rice, and had no appetite.

I hadn't eaten meat for almost a year, and before the food was served, the chopsticks rushed to the meat.

I usually like to drink at this time, but I don't serve a wine glass at this time, for fear that if I start slowly, the food will be gone.

Countrymen like to bring their own bowls and bring some delicious dishes back to eat. This time, there was not much money, and there were not many things to buy, and the village chief had already spoken, and no one was allowed to bring bowls to eat. If you find out, leave.

Everyone still wants to save face, and if they don't let them bring it, they won't bring it. If you can't take it away, then you can eat it vigorously.

Regardless of men, women and children, there is a bowl in the bowl, a big bone in the hand to gnaw, and a large piece of meat on the chopsticks.

Jiang Quinoa sat at the table of the patriarch's wife, and the uncles and aunts on the table were all old and the meat was boiled badly. They eat slowly, Jiang Quinoa also accompanies them to eat meat and drink soup slowly and methodically, and several aunts can't help but praise her for being good-looking, eating is also gentle, and she can read and hyphenate words, etc., and Jiang Quinoa is very embarrassed to praise. She just didn't have an appetite.

This meal was eaten until the moon hung high, and the tables of wine were not dispersed.

Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun yawned and propped up their bulging stomachs to clean up the scattered tables. It's all greasy and greasy, and it's hard to clean up.

The chief's wife told them to go back and rest early.

"They don't know when they're going to drink, so let's just stay and clean up, if only you had time here to help wash the dishes."

It's really not easy to wash dishes with a black light, Jiang Quinoa and they answered, saying that they would take the gas lamp to wash the dishes tomorrow, and go back with Zhao Liang and Xingni.

When they arrived at the door, Zhao Liang sent Xingni back, Jiang Tiezhu opened the door, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun entered the house, and the two were still laughing and making fun of each other.

"The meat is so greasy, they all say that you should eat less, otherwise you will have a stomach trouble tomorrow. The second uncle has already told the dart bureau that he will set off the day after tomorrow, and if you have a bad stomach and can't go out, don't blame me for not taking you there. Jiang Quinoa said while holding Jiang Chun's arm.

"Huh? No, I have a good stomach, and I definitely won't eat a bad stomach. Jiang Chun was also a little worried in his heart, but he still said stiffly.

"I'm also in a good mood today, I heard that yesterday the Xu family ran to smash the Hu butcher's house, and said that the Xu widow had kicked the Hu butcher's seed in the stomach, and asked him to take out a dowry of ten taels of silver, and if it didn't work, he would come back to smash it. Where can Butcher Hu get so much silver at home, yesterday he was running around borrowing money, and his hair was almost gray. Haha, deserved. The wicked still have to be grinded by the wicked. Jiang Chun held his stomach and laughed, and the laughter was especially loud in the dark night.

Jiang Quinoa was also very happy to hear this, helped her into the door and sat down, lit the candles in the room, and said, "You, sit down for a while, I'll go to have less hot water, let's wash and go to bed early." Aunt Rong and Uncle Qing don't know when they will come back. ”

"Hey, there you go. I walked around the house to eat. Jiang Chun said as he propped up the table and walked around.

This summer, Qingbo built a small kitchen next to Jiang Quinoa's house, which is more convenient for them to boil water, drink tea, and wash.

Jiang Chun talked loudly while walking and chatted with Jiang Quino: "You said that you have lived this day, that I am a maid, and I have to serve the eldest lady, and I am also living the life of a young lady." ”

Jiang Quinoa laughed when she heard it outside, and believed it carefully, it was not the young lady who happened to be the young lady serving the maid.

"By the way, miss, Xingni told me today that Jiang Cheng can't go out, and he wants to see if you have any notebooks to lend him here." Jiang Chun leaned on the threshold and stretched out his head to look at the kitchen, and asked loudly.

Jiang Quinoa stuffed the firewood into the stove, penetrated it with tongs, and when the firewood was burned, he clapped his hands and walked into the house.

"I remember that my cousin bought me a few scripts, they look quite interesting, I found out that you will send them to Jiang Cheng tomorrow, I guess he will like it." Jiang Quinoa said and walked to the inner room, her books were placed next to the bed in the inner room, so that if she wanted to read it, she could reach out and get it.

"He is a little kid who can read what the script, he knows how to shout and kill all day long, he must be locked up, I want you to say good things, for your sake, his father and mother will definitely let him out. I'm telling you, this kid is a thief. If you're not going to take him out, it's better to leave him alone. Jiang Chun said.

There was no response in the room for a long time, and Jiang Chun said suspiciously: "What, put away the book?" If it's not good to take it, don't pull it out, your books are also precious, I'll go and tell Xingni tomorrow that I haven't found something suitable for children. Apricot won't blame you. ”

Jiang Quinoa stood stiffly, her eyes didn't dare to blink, she heard the footsteps getting closer and closer in her ears, she was in a hurry, she hurriedly spoke, she panicked as soon as the words came out, her voice was too hoarse, she cleared her throat and shouted loudly: "Chun'er, you go and tell Brother Zhuzi to let him take the lamp to pick up Uncle Qing and Aunt Rong back, if Uncle Qing drinks Aunt Rong alone, he will definitely not be able to support him." You look at the fire in the kitchen, and the water is getting hot. I've got a bit of a mess here, and I'm going to clean it up again. ”

"Ahh Jiang Chun answered and looked into the house, "Why don't you light up your things, what are you doing with the black light." Wait, I'll bring you the lamp in. ”

"No!" Jiang Quinoa roared, and after speaking, he felt that the thing on his neck was a little closer, and he trembled all over, and said in a flat voice: "You go to Brother Zhuzi first, I will light the lamp myself." ”

"Why are you so loud, it scares me. I'll go out first. Jiang Chun heard a hum inside, and then slowly walked out again.

Jiang Chun's voice shouting at Jiang Tiezhu came from the courtyard, and Jiang Qu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ladies and gentlemen, while there is no one now, you can leave quickly, and my family will come back later." Jiang Qu looked at the dagger around his neck and said in a trembling voice. (To be continued......)
