When the meal was ready, Lu Xiaoyi felt that he had become a piece of back pot meat, greasy and greasy, fortunately he was wearing old clothes, but his hair was not spared, revealing a greasy smell of back pot meat.

Lu Xiaoyi felt greasy, but everyone in Qishan felt delicious, and they couldn't sit still when they smelled it.

Qi Shan said loudly: "Let's eat!" Ate early to see the lantern festival. ”

Xu Wu said: "Boss, Fengzi and Liangzi haven't come back yet, let's wait a little longer." ”

"Don't wait, just leave him a bowl of meat!" Qi Shan had already begun to swallow saliva when he said meat, and said to Lu Zhong and Lu Yong: "There is no female family at home to receive them, so I bother the two brothers to accompany the two brothers-in-law, and let the little fish and shrimp help share some meals for the two brothers and daughters-in-law, and the hospitality is not thoughtful!" ”

Lu Zhong arched his hand and said, "Brother Qi is too worried. ”

Qi Shan shouted to Xu Wu: "You go to the stove room and say something, let Tie Niu prepare the meal!" ”

At this time, Qi Feng's voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Dad, do you want to eat alone again?" ”

Qi Shan said: "You can eat enough with thick skin, but you can't eat with thin skin." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qi Feng Yuliang and another young man come in, this young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing an azure brocade robe, he looked handsome and square, and his gestures were even more polite.

Qi Shan's eyes narrowed, and he secretly assessed the new boy before he asked with a smile, "Who is this?" ”

Yu Liang handed over his hand and introduced Qi Shan: "Uncle Qi, this is the third young master of He Mansion on Datong Street, because he had some business dealings with Uncle Zhong before, he is also a familiar person, I met at the West Street Lantern Festival just now, and Fengzi and I invited him over." "The surplus said it was an invitation. In fact, when the young master of the He family saw him and Qi Feng together, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the initiative to come up, especially when he learned that the Lu family was also here, he was even more reluctant to follow, saying that he was discussing the matter of flower stuffing with the Lu family, and the surplus grain had to bring him here.

Yu Liang said to the young master of the He family again: "This is the head of the Qishan shop, you can call him Uncle Qi!" ”

The young master of the He family bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Uncle Qi is good, what is the name of the junior." Take the liberty of coming. I hope Uncle Qi will forgive me. ”

Qi Shan has always been hospitable, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, please inside!" ”

Qi Feng walked up to He Siyuan with a big grin, and said proudly: "I'm right." My dad is a very bold man! You just have to come. You don't have to buy any greeting gifts. ”

It's okay not to mention it. At the mention of this, He Siyuan became ashamed again, and apologized to Qi Shanxing: "The first time I came to the door empty-handed, don't blame Uncle Qi!" ”

Qi Shan glanced at Qi Feng and blamed him for talking too much. turned to smile and help He Siyuan, "It's okay, Uncle Qi, I'm a rough person, I don't have so many politeness, you don't have to mind!" Inside please inside please! ”

Entering the hall, Yu Liang introduced He Siyuan to Lu Zhong and Lu Yong, He Siyuan saluted one by one, and Si Siwenwen's appearance won the favor of everyone.

Xu Wu came out of the stove room and said to Qi Shan: "Master, the meal is about to be served, you guys sit down first, I'll go get the wine!" ”

When it came to eating, Qi Shan became more and more straightforward, and waved his big hand, "Let's go, eat meat and drink wine!" ”

As soon as the men took their seats, Zhang Tieniu came over with a large pot of back pot meat, followed by a pot of braised pork and two plates of vegetarian dishes. Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding took two plates of meat dishes and two plates of vegetarian dishes to the East House guest room.

Yulan looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Not bad, it's already very good that you two can fix these dishes." ”

Wang Dongmei praised: "Sister-in-law, you are too modest, where is it good, it should be said that you are very capable!" ”

Xiao Ding was praised, smiled happily, and excitedly let Yulan and Wang Dongmei taste it.

Yulan felt that the meat was very fragrant, and asked Xiaoyi: "What is the recipe for this dish?" Where did you learn it? ”

Lu Xiaoyi thought of a response when he fried meat, "Last summer, I came to the dart bureau with my father to talk about things and helped cook a meal, at that time Brother Feng had already cooked the meat, I saw that there was half a jar of chili sauce in the stove room, and I added some when I fried the meat, but I didn't expect it to taste good." ”

Magnolia smiled: "This year, let's eat a variety of chili peppers, and we also learn to make some chili sauce, and put some delicious when stir-frying meat." ”

Wang Dongmei also agreed, and the two discussed how to make chili sauce.

Lu Xiaoyi raised his hand and sniffed the sleeves, there was a strong smell of oil, coupled with the fatigue of cooking, he sat on the stool and had no appetite, and he was afraid that Yulan would be worried, so he raised his chopsticks and put a few vegetarian dishes into his mouth, and added some rice to eat slowly.

After eating, the cups, plates and bowls were all cleaned up by Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu, and the sky was dark, and everyone was excited, because they were going to set off to see the Lantern Festival.

Yulan asked Xiaoyi Xiaoding to change into new clothes, and then said to Wang Dongmei: "The three children will be entrusted to you." ”

Wang Dongmei smiled and promised: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take care of her." ”

"You can help me take care of Xiaoyi Xiaoding, Xiao Geng will let his father take care of it." He asked, "Is it safe to put it on your shoulder?" Will it be squeezed out? Otherwise, Xiao Geng won't go and stay with his mother. ”

Xiao Geng's mouth was so pouting that he could tie the rope, and his face was full of reluctance.

Lu Zhong came into the house, Xiao Geng followed step by step, and Yulan explained to Lu Zhong again before letting a few people out.

Lu Xiaoyi only found out that there was one more person until now, and after a careful look, he recognized it as the young master of the He family, and he didn't know when he came.

He Siyuan saw that the young lady's eyes lit up again, Yuanbao's lips smiled and revealed two little tiger teeth, and took the initiative to step forward to thank him: "Thank you girl for the flower stuffing last time, my mother ate it very well, and repeatedly explained that I thanked me in person, and asked me to inform the girl that there will be more flower stuffing in the future, just send some to Hefu, oh no, I can pick it up in person." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said politely: "No thanks, just do more for your family in the future." ”

He Siyuan thanked him a few more words, and then stood next to the little sister of the Lu family, and didn't go to the man's pile.

Qi Feng shouted: "Little tiger, stand here!" He Siyuan walked slowly to Qi Feng's side, and Qi Feng said: "Okay, I'm done helping you out, you can go, don't delay us to watch the lantern festival." ”

He Siyuan's face turned red, and his tone was a little pleading, "Brother Feng, you are going to see the Lantern Festival, I am going to West Street, just by the way, you can take me with you!" ”

Qi Feng squinted at him and finally nodded. shouted to Qi Shan in the house again: "Dad, have you cleaned up?" I'm waiting for you. ”

"Urging the devil!" Qi Shan complained and came out of the West House, good guy, dressed like a blind date, it was actually a jujube brocade dress, if the draped silky fabric was worn on the gentle and elegant Pianpian boy, it would be considered a brocade dress with a beautiful man, but it would be a little weird to wear it on the rough and strong Qi Shan.

Qi Shan felt good about himself, and pulled his cuffs and laughed: "This body is really exciting!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi said curiously: "Uncle Qi." When did you make this new outfit? ”

"This year's New Year's New Year's clothes! How? Xiaoyuer also thinks it is good? Ha ha. Next time, I'll take your dad to do it too, it's really exciting to wear it! ”

Lu Zhong hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Qi, I'm a rough man." It is customary to wear cotton and linen. You don't feel comfortable wearing good clothes. ”

"Just get used to it." Qi Shan walked over with a big grin. said to Qi Feng: "Why don't you bring the carriage over." ”

"Dad, let's not take the carriage, let's walk. West Avenue is not far from here. ”

Yu Liang also stood up and said: "Uncle Qi, there are too many people watching the lantern festival, and the car will be blocked, so it is not convenient to walk." ”

"Let's walk!" Qi Shan looked at everyone and arranged: "Brother Lu Zhong, you are responsible for taking care of your children, whether you can hold it on your shoulders or in your arms, you can do it yourself!" Brother Lu Yong, you are responsible for taking care of your daughter-in-law, you can hold it or hug it, as long as you don't lose your daughter-in-law! Wang Dongmei's face turned red, and even Lu Yong was a little ashamed.

Qi Shan muttered again: "It's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law!" It's a pity to lose it. This statement was immediately unanimously supported by Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu, and Lu Yong and his wife were even more embarrassed.

Qi Shan pointed to Yu Liang and Qi Feng again: "You two are responsible for watching the little fish and the little shrimp, it is best to keep an eye on one person, Xu Wu Tie Niu and the two of them protect the front, and quickly return to the defense when encountering congestion and chaos, and I am responsible for the back." You have to listen to my orders at any time, don't panic in case of panic, just control the people in front of you, in case you are scattered, don't panic, go to the most famous He Cloth Village on West Street and wait, the cloth village guy is okay, and he will not drive people away. ”

After all, Qi Shan is an old dart master, this kind of arrangement of people marking people is quite reasonable, especially in that kind of occasion where there are many people and cars, once there is a panic, every vulnerable person will be protected by a strong person, and the effect will be better.

He Siyuan said excitedly: "Uncle Qi, who am I protecting?" ”

Qi Shan looked him up and down a few times, "I'll protect you!" ”

He Siyuan was not convinced, and tanned his arm muscles and fists, showing that he had the capital to protect people. Qi Shan also showed his arm muscles and fists, looking proud.

He Siyuan was struck and bowed his head and said nothing.

Qi Shan laughed and asked, "I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a ride for free!" Say, where is the escort? ”

Qi Feng said: "Dad, He's Buzhuang is opened by the little tiger's family, let's send him over by the way!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

So the group set off according to Qi Shan's arrangement, Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu walked in front, followed by Lu Zhong who was Ding Xiaogeng, Lu Yong who protected his daughter-in-law, and Xiaoyi Xiaoding followed, Yu Liang and Qi Feng guarded left and right, He Siyuan also followed behind Xiao Ding, and Qi Shan went last.

There are more and more pedestrians on the street, all walking in groups to West Street, men and women, young and old, in groups, talking and laughing along the way, it is difficult to hide the excitement and joy.

As the sky darkened, the red lights along the streets lit up one after another, and the streets were bathed in red and hazy lights.

There are large families of horse-drawn carriages, as little as two or three, more than six or seven, led by the groom to move slowly, the horses' hooves on the bluestone road, the axles creaking. Lu Xiaoyi looked sideways, and the luxury of the carriage could be vaguely seen in the faint light, and he thought of the sentence: BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. It's a pity that the curtain of the car is closed, and I can't see the moth snow willow, nor can I see the golden wisps, but I can only hear the laughter in the carriage, and go away with a burst of dark incense.

The convoy was huge, and pedestrians automatically and spontaneously avoided to both sides of the street, and while avoiding, they made some envious sounds more or less lightly.

The BMW carved car slowly drove forward, and from the back it looked like a box, no, like a cage, a gorgeous cage, and the man in the cage was like a bird in a cage. And the self outside the carriage is not much better. In the hierarchical ancient society, the people in the car are birds, and the people outside the car are also birds, the only difference is that the bird cages are different, some people are in the gold wire cage, some people are in the wooden cage, some people are in the bamboo cage, some people are in the iron cage, and some people are in the mountains and nets.

Lu Xiaoyi thought so, and no longer looked at the luxurious carriage that drove by in a group, and concentrated on walking his own way.

Stop and go along the way, and the closer you get to West Street, the more crowded it becomes. It doesn't matter if you are a carriage from a large family or a donkey cart from a small family, all of them are equal here, and you want to go in? Excuse me, let's all come down and walk! Miss Boudoir, who can't easily show people, bothers you to wear a few more veils, or bring a few more servants, or book a box upstairs in a good terrain, if it is too troublesome, it is also possible to hold a small lantern festival in your own yard.

However, how can there be a big lantern in the small lantern will be gorgeous, how can there be a big street in the small courtyard, and the ancient Lantern Festival is very lively, there will be a thousand trees and fireworks at night, there will be a gorgeous scene of fireworks like stars and rain, the sound of the phoenix flute will move the light of the jade pot, and there will be a night of fish and dragon dance, there will be people about after dusk, and there will also be people who wet the sleeves of spring shirts with tears......

As the saying goes: Whoever sees the moon can sit idle, and where to smell the lights does not see.

This is true for small households, and the same is true for large households. (To be continued.) )
