The Feng family had already discussed the hospitality of the family on the third day of the first lunar month.

I sent a message to the few families who were going to be invited to the banquet early. Feng Lao Niang and Yun Zhu discussed the dishes to be served. Needless to say, it was all done by Yunzhu himself.

Countrymen don't pay so much attention to eating, they don't care about being affordable, there are visible large pieces of meat, and they think it's a good feast. Yunzhu also helped make many village banquets, which have already been summarized.

Feng Lao Niang killed two chickens and took a big duck and cooked it. There are also ready-made sausages and fragrant pork ribs. Cut the pork ribs into small pieces and stew them in a pot with large white radish. The pot is bubbling and fragrant. I want to drool when I smell it.

The fresh vegetables produced at this time are nothing more than Chinese cabbage, pea seedlings, spinach, and hollyhock. Yunzhu fished out some home-dried cowpeas, pickled dried radish, spiced kohlrabi and the like to make side dishes.

Cowpea stew is also a good choice, and the spiced kohlrabi is chopped into cubes and spread on the bottom of the bowl with sprouts and topped with tamales.

Ping An also invited the Zhu family.

Zhu Xing naturally didn't want them to come to the door empty-handed, so they brought the two new chairs they had made. Sycamore wood, varnished to protect against insects. There are carvings on the back. It's done very concisely and elegantly. It also looks good in their new home.

Hutou and Tian Tian talked at length about the things in his school, the master, the classmates, and what books he learned, and read "In Mingmingde" to Tian Tian.

Although Tian Tian also read and read with the help of his mother, he never entered the school. It's very fresh and curious, and after a while, I was fascinated, and I listened to the tiger head with relish. A look of envy.

Seeing her like that, the tiger head couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that it's far away from here, otherwise I can let you go to our school to have a look, and let you see how I study." ”

Tian Tian laughed when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Here Liu Meng and Xiangmei were talking in the room.

Xiangmei asked Liu Meng: "I heard Xiaojiao say that she said to Xiao Yu'er, but is it serious?" ”

Liu Meng said: "It must be true." My father and my mother are still having trouble about this, it seems that they really want to give Yu'er to a rich family. It's just that you know it too. Where can rich people look up to us like this? Although the life of the family is barely passing, there are not a few acres of land at home, and there is not a single shop. There is no official in the family, what do you say to compare? Yu'er doesn't have the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and she doesn't think about it. ”

Xiangmei nodded and said: "It is said that marriage is destined, maybe Xiao Yuer will meet the destined marriage." Your father loves her so much. Surely she will not be wronged. She's more than two years younger than me, and it's okay to stay a little longer. ”

Liu Meng said: "Yes, I think so too. But my mother was very anxious, saying that she was afraid that she would stay as a big girl, and it would be difficult for her to allow others at that time. Her dowry has also saved a lot in recent years, and she has also said that many people are not satisfied, but it is always unsatisfactory here and there. Liu Meng said and went to hold Xiangmei's hand, thinking that her ten fingers were very good-looking. He bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand. Xiangmei panicked and hurriedly took it back.

"Let people come in and see what it's like." Xiangmei was so ashamed that her face was red.

"What are you afraid of, we already have a marriage contract. It's like being recognized. At the beginning, your family agreed that when Brother Ping'an got married, you would pass through the door. Now that Brother Ping An has married, it looks like you are going to my house this year. We'll have a baby next year. The first one is better to have a son, and only when he is an elder brother is responsible, he will take care of the younger ......"

Xiangmei listened more and more boundless. It happened that Ping An was calling Liu Meng outside. Xiangmei pushed him and said, "Get out quickly." ”

Liu Meng agreed, and whispered in Xiangmei's ear: "I have even thought about the child's name." ”

Xiangmei blushed and said, "Just think far." Go for it! ”

After urging repeatedly, Liu Meng reluctantly left.

There were three tables of people, Ping'an's uncle and second uncle came, and the aunt only came to Chen's. Lin Liang and Tie Dan are here. Yunzhu was worried about Bi's, but it was inconvenient for her to be pregnant, so she had to watch the house at home. Bi's daughter Xiaocui came with her father, Xiaocui was two years younger than Tian Tian and looked very well-behaved. Tian Tian and her sisters are commensurate, and they get acquainted with each other not long after they meet.

Not long after, Yunzhu heard Tie Dan crying outside, making people upset. Chen was also in the stove room, and when he heard this cry, he felt a headache, and he didn't want to go out to take care of it at all, but he just wanted to hide here and be quiet.

Mrs. Feng was busy lighting the fire and pulling the bellows, and Yunzhu was not empty-handed. Cry by the iron egg. I don't know that the cry of this iron egg can't stop listening to it, and it's not good for him to cry like this in the Great Zhengyue. Yunzhu couldn't help it, dropped the spatula in his hand, washed his hands, wiped it twice on his apron and walked out.

But he saw Ping'an pulling the iron egg, bowing his head and talking to him. At the base of the wall, Roche was training his son. Yunzhu knew a rough idea, it must be that the two brothers were fighting. However, it seems that the iron egg did not have the upper hand.

Yunzhu saw that Ping'an came forward to mediate, so she didn't ask, the kid with the iron egg was already pestering, and she didn't want to provoke her.

Here, Roche taught the tiger head a lesson, and pulled the tiger head over to apologize to the iron egg.

The tiger head was not convinced, it was obviously Tie Dan's fault, if it wasn't for Tie Dan's provocation, he wouldn't have raised his fists, why just let him admit his mistake. Although there were all kinds of unwillingness, under the persecution of his mother, Hutou still had to hang his head and whispered: "It's me who is not good." ”

The iron egg was still splashed, but when he saw that the tiger's head was soft, he rubbed his nose, so he wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, raised his face, and was extraordinarily angry. Seeing him like this, Ping'an frowned and said, "I can't see that it's the tiger's fault, you are originally a troublemaker, can you be an ansheng." Since you came to me, give me a little rule, if you dare to cause trouble for me again, don't come in the future. ”

Ping'an Tie blushed, saying that these came to bluff Tie Dan, Tie Dan was really afraid of Ping'an, but he really didn't dare to do anything, the arrogance just now was significantly reduced, and he didn't dare to cry, and said to the tiger head with a pleasant face: "Okay, it's not a big deal." Then he went elsewhere.

Ping An said to Roche apologetically: "This is the case with my little cousin, no one in the family dares to care about her, just like an overlord." My second aunt spoiled him even more. No one cares about it. What grievances have the tiger head suffered, I will make amends for you on his behalf. ”

After all, Tiger Head went to school and knew some truth. Hurriedly said: "How dare you let Uncle Feng give an apology, I can't stand it, I can't stand it." ”

Roche comforted his son: "Okay, don't be wronged." You see that your Uncle Feng is willing to pull down his face to apologize, and your face is big enough. This is in the guesthouse, but don't make any more trouble, otherwise I won't take you out in the future. ”

Tiger Boss repeatedly promised not to cause trouble again.

After settling the children's dispute. Ping'an went to discuss with his second uncle.

"Second uncle, you are too fond of iron eggs. I'm afraid that if he's older, he's a mixed world, which is always bad for him. You can't keep him for the rest of your life. According to me, I should also let him go to the school to study some books and learn some rules. ”

Lin Lu said: "Our family doesn't have that spare money for him to study, I think he is very capable, and he will definitely be better than you in the future." I won't marry a wife in my twenties like you. I also found a cousin with an oil bottle. The old face is all lost. I don't know how good it is to be ashamed. ”

Ping An saw that his uncle was sneering at him, and he didn't refute it, but he just felt that his uncle was so accustomed to iron eggs that he would definitely suffer in the future. After reading some books, it was really different. It's not that you have to read out a few words, know a few words, and understand some truths, but people can only look down on him when they go out to help people work. It's just that this second uncle is unconscious. He had no choice but to help.

Lin Lu didn't take the words of peace to heart after all. When I turned around, I went to his eldest brother to brag.

At this time, the village chief and Zhang Feng came. Ping An specially invited them this time, in order to discuss the matter of the barren mountain later. Village Chief Zhang was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed. He carried a piece of bacon in his hand and walked in front with a smile. Zhang Feng followed behind him, not speaking as usual.

"Village Chief, you're finally here."

Village Chief Zhang said: "I still have to give face to a safe treat." Besides, the food made by your daughter-in-law is delicious, I was hungry for it a few days ago, and I have been thinking about it. It's a bother. So saying, he gave the bacon to peace.

Yuan Muhua was the last to arrive, because he was so close, he almost stepped on the meal.

The women were busy preparing their meals, and the men were gathered in one place to gossip. When the meal is served, the men become a drinking discussion, in fact, there is nothing to discuss, but it is just a random nonsense.

Village Chief Zhang drank a few glasses of wine, blushed and said: "I went to the city a few years ago, and I saw the Di newspaper, saying that there was chaos in the northwest, and the emperor sent troops to suppress it. He also said that Liaodong was hit by a snow disaster, and how many people froze to death. I wonder if this peaceful day is coming to an end. ”

Liu Stonemason also came to drink with him today, and when he heard the village chief say this, he was puzzled: "If there is really a war and chaos, it is still us ordinary people who suffer." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Those things in the DPRK and China are too far away from us, but we just want to be able to eat a full meal, wear good clothes, have a mother-in-law and a son, and this life will be complete. Who cares what war is not fighting, this war will have to be conscripted, all the strong men have been arrested, and I haven't seen a few come back, you say that you just leave some old and weak women and children at home. Village Chief Zhang said impassionedly.

Liu Mason also sighed. The men at the table fell silent suddenly, and all they could hear was the sound of wine glasses clashing.

Later, the second uncle Lin Lu said: "There is a sentence I heard from elsewhere, and I think it makes a lot of sense, what is it called, 'there is wine today, drunk today' to live in the present, no matter what happens behind it, enjoy it first." Lin Lu is such a person, he only cares about the present and can't see the future, so he can't discipline his son.

The woman's table is just a few trivial things in the family, Yunzhu just pricked up her ears to listen to Village Chief Zhang talking about the government, this is the first time she has heard people talk about political affairs in this era, and she can't help but be a little curious.

If you want to see the world, only Yuan Muhua can afford it at that table. Since he said goodbye to his master and practiced medicine alone, he has traveled to many places and seen many people and things, and he is not unclear about the court situation, but he has been silent, silently eating and drinking, and has not interjected anything. Quietly listen to the farmers at the table talk about current affairs.

Zhu Xing drank two sips of wine and became more talkative, and asked while he was drinking: "I heard that the emperor's wives are dozens, maybe hundreds." Do you think he can do it alone? ”

When Liu Stonemason heard this, he said with a smile: "Sleep one tonight and one tomorrow night, you can always sleep all over." ”

Zhu Xing shouted: "This is the nourishment of being an emperor, and what you enjoy is a blessing that ordinary people can't enjoy." ”

Liu Stonemason coaxed beside him: "As long as you Zhu Carpenter is rich, can't you marry a room of wives and come back?" ”

Luo Shi heard the end from the beginning, and finally couldn't hold it back, put down the chopsticks with a snap, slammed the curtain and walked out, and scolded with his hands on his waist: "Okay, you are a Zhu Xing, you are a pig." I haven't made a fortune here, so I'm thinking about marrying a wife. If you're really rich, are you going to kick me off? I sue you, no way! ”

Then Zhu Xing also felt wronged, he just casually said a few words about the emperor, how could he attract the anger of his mother-in-law, in front of so many people, he was very faceless, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and he wanted to compete with Luo.

Ping'an saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he got busy and persuaded him: "Brother Zhu, don't be angry, sister-in-law, she doesn't blame you, she is worried about you." He went to persuade Luo again: "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhu, he drank a few sips of wine and talked nonsense, he can't take it seriously." Besides, where does he have the guts? ”

Luo Che didn't want to make a big deal out of Ping'an's face, the two of them tore their faces and everyone was not good-looking, her anger disappeared a little, and she said coldly: "Drink less than two glasses of wine, and talk nonsense when you drink." Hate to die. After persuasion, Roche finally went back.

Liu Meng pressed Zhu Xing back to his seat and poured him wine again, and said busily: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the woman is knowledgeable, and she can't take it seriously." Come on, let's get on with it. ”

Roche returned to the dinner table, still a little angry.

Yun Zhu smiled and added a bowl of soup to her, and said, "Sister Luo, what are you really talking to a person who has drunk wine, Brother Zhu is joking." Does he really have the guts? ”

Luo finished the soup in a few sips, and said angrily: "No wonder some people say that men become bad when they are rich, it seems really good!" ”

At the dinner table here, they continued to talk about some important things they had heard, and Yuan Muhua, who had not spoken, said: "If it really comes to the time of chaos, the first person at our table to be conscripted into the army is peace!" ”

Ping'an was not surprised, he glanced at Yuan Muhua, and said in his heart, he wanted to go out and have a look, but what if he couldn't come back, what if he left his old mother and Yunzhu? Unconsciously, his concern was a little more.

Yunzhu's ears are good, she also heard Yuan Muhua's words, and suddenly her heartbeat skipped a beat, and she was nervous. What if I really passed away safely?

Lin Lu saw that everyone had a solemn face, and hurriedly said: "Hey, it's not that step yet, what are you doing here, drinking, drinking!" (To be continued......)
