Chapter Eighty-Eight: New Houses
"Why do you wake up so early?" Yang asked in surprise when he saw Yan Yan coming back from outside the shed.
"Dad's snoring is so loud that I can't sleep," Yan Yan smiled helplessly.
"Your Uncle Niu's snoring is also earth-shattering," Sister-in-law Niu said.
"What's wrong with my snoring?" Uncle Niu and Yan Qingshan happened to come in and asked strangely.
"It's so noisy that people can't sleep!" Sister-in-law Niu glared at Uncle Niu.
"Let's sleep far away tonight, so as not to disturb you," Yan Qingshan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Here we are, can you still sleep in the mountains? You'll hear it! Yang glanced at Yan Qingshan, "When you are tired, you will fall asleep until dawn, and you will wake up in the middle of the night to be noisy, but now that you are so tired, you rarely wake up." ”
"Okay, don't worry about this problem, anyway, brother, they don't think you are arguing, so I can't say anything," Yan Shaojie, Xu Yan, and Niu Xiaoyu slept on the left side of the shed, and Yan Qingshan and Uncle Niu slept on the right side of the shed, and they deliberately ran away to sleep.
After breakfast was hastily eaten, the other families arrived, and the men continued to build houses, while the women went out into the fields to pluck weeds and fertilize them. The effort on both sides cannot be delayed, and everyone is extremely tired to do the work in this way, and there is no way, they all have to do. After more than a month of hot work, the new house was finally built.
When the new house is completed, a red cloth is hung on the beam of the hall, and the redder the red cloth, the better, which means that the family's life will become more and more prosperous. The red cloth of the Yan family was hung by Yan Shaojie, and the red cloth of the Niu family was hung by Niu Xiaoyu, and the Yang family and Sister-in-law Niu were both crying happily.
Yang felt that after suffering for so many years, she finally lived in a tiled house, and the children were also well-behaved and sensible, she really had no regrets. Sister-in-law Niu has been in turmoil for so many years, and she can finally have a stable life, how can she not be excited and cry? Uncle Niu is also in tears, and he will remember the kindness of the Yan family for a lifetime.
Everyone hurriedly carried their things into the house and picked them up, but the Yan family didn't have anything, they were all some basic supplies; The old mats, quilts and other basic daily necessities were used by the Niu family first, and the wooden things such as stools and chairs were slowly made later; The Yan family is too, and the utensils to be added are all made slowly by Yan Qingshan.
Of course, there is a banquet on such a happy day, Yan Qingshan went to invite the village chief to come over, and Yan Shaojie invited the shopkeeper Li to come, although the people in the village watched the Yan family's actions, but the Yan family is too lazy to take care of them now, they don't come when they help, and they have to be urged and invited when they eat, who are they?
Yang Jiang helped to invite the pig killer to come over, and just killed the pig, the pig weighed more than 100 catties, Yan Yan decided to make a good meal to treat himself. Niu Xiaoyu went to the fish pond and fished some big fish back, and also dug up some lotus roots that he hadn't dug up last time, Yan Yan was simply overjoyed.
Because there were only a dozen or twenty people, Yan Yan felt that three or four tables of meals were enough. Yan Yan made braised fish, which has a good meaning, and it is still prosperous every year; made stuffed lotus root slices, chopped fresh pork, stuffed into the appropriate thickness of lotus root slices, added seasonings and stewed, fragrant; Yan Yan also cut the lotus root into pieces and make pork soup, this fresh lotus root soup is the most delicious; I also made white-cut chicken and eight-treasure duck, all of which are fragrant meat dishes that make your mouth water. The meat dishes are almost over, and there are still green vegetables, bacon stir-fried vegetables, cucumbers, leek stall eggs, boiled vegetables, and a large table full of dishes.
"It's late to come down, it's rude," Bai Hao and Shopkeeper Li walked into the gate of the courtyard, "Gongzi Yan came to invite Shopkeeper Li to eat a wedding wine, but I came cheekily." It's a little bit of a courtesy, and I hope it's in line with my heart. ”
"Where is it, Bai Gongzi appreciates his face, we are very happy, why do you still give gifts?" Yan Qingshan didn't expect Bai Hao to come, he was very happy, now the Yan family had face, and hurriedly welcomed people into the hall to sit.
"Qingshan, your new tiled house is very good," the village chief walked in with the Qingzhu family, "There are nothing good, bring some wine, wait for two more drinks." The village chief said.
"That's all we have to do," Qingzhu Daddy brought chicken and eggs, as well as bacon and plum wine. "I didn't help much when I built the house, but now I like to drink and eat."
"What are you talking about? You are the only one in your family who works in the fields, and besides, isn't your daughter-in-law here to help cook? Come on, what else do you bring? Yan Qingshan took over the things from the village chief and Qingzhu's father, and he was still very comforted in his heart, after all, Qingzhu's father and Yan Qingshan didn't have any friendship, because Qingzhu and Yan Yan played well, and Qingzhu married into the Zhang family, he could also help.
"Hurry up and sit down, and you'll eat when you get back!" Yan Qingshan happily beckoned everyone to sit down, and a few young people went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, because there were outsiders, Yan Yan, the girls who had not left the pavilion, were not good at eating at the same table, but it was rare to be so happy, Bai Hao suggested: "It's better for the girl to sit and eat in the corner of the hall, it's okay for us to be farther away."
"It's such a reason, it's an acquaintance, it's not in the way," Yan Qingshan, who had no eyes, hurriedly agreed. In fact, Bai Hao is here for Yan Yan, even if he can't speak now, he can watch from afar.
So several daughters-in-law and girls sat at a table, and the girls were all facing away from the man, and everyone was there, and the village chief was also there, so there would be no bad news. After working hard for so long, and the new house was finally built, everyone was full of joy and ate even more appetizingly.
"This dish is really delicious, Yan Yan's tea and rice are really excellent!" The village chief tasted a bite of braised fish and exclaimed.
"No wonder Miss Yan would say that the dishes in the proud building are not good, it turns out that her cooking skills are so good, and she is very blessed today!" Bai Hao finally ate the food made by Yan Yan himself, and his heart was full of happiness, although he came with him, but he ate it, didn't he? If it weren't for the presence of so many outsiders, he really wanted to praise it in person.
"Bai Gongzi likes it, eat more," Yan Qingshan felt more face-saving.
The poplar tree at the other table is very unpleasant, his sister Yan Yan is so good, this Bai Hao can't be in love with Yan Yan, right? In the past few days, Yang Shu has ruled out the suspicion of Niu Xiaoyu, that Xu Yan also doesn't care about people, and the threat is not big, but this Bai Hao has business dealings with the Yan family and looks good, if he comes to the door to propose, will Yan Yan agree? Where can I compare to this boy! Yang Shu looked at Yan Yan's back, and he didn't know what to eat.
When Xu Yan heard Bai Hao praise Yan Yan, he was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything other than playing a scoundrel with Yan Yan at the beginning. Second, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he felt that Yan Yan seemed to be avoiding him a little, it seemed that the two had to talk about it.
Yan Shaojie was very happy to see that his sister's goodness was known by so many people, and when he saw Yang Shu's absent-minded appearance, he was probably jealous, thinking that it would be good for him to be jealous, and it would be better for Yan Yan to work harder to make money. Yan Shaojie didn't notice Bai Hao and Xu Yan's thoughts, everyone was very happy to eat this meal, but a few people had their own opinions.
