Chapter Ninety-Seven: The New House Feast

The shop next door was originally a shop selling dry goods, and the proprietress was not familiar with her and couldn't speak. Chen Chunhua only knew that this family had moved away yesterday because of Qiu Ju's letter.

The shop was empty, and no one was in front of it, Chen Chunhua walked in, shouted, and said. "Is anyone in the house?"

The owner of the shop was tidying up in the backyard, and walked out as he spoke, and when he saw Chen Chunhua, his old face was pulled, and he smiled, and said. "Ouch, this is not the owner of the tofu shop, it's rare today!"

Chen Chunhua looked at the old woman, knowing that she must be coming over when she got the letter, and this turned a corner, and she was a little unhappy in her heart for a while. "I saw that the previous boss was gone, and I wanted to come and see the shop, the owner, but you still plan to rent out this yard?"

"Rent, of course you have to rent, it's useless for me to leave this yard here, and I still earn some subsidies in the house, but you want to rent this shop?" The old woman said, pulling a chair over and saying. "Don't just stand, come and sit down!"

Chen Chunhua was not polite, so she sat down, still very bored. "I want to rent this shop, I don't know if this monthly rent is possible?" She thought about it, this shop can't be rented for a whole year, she didn't plan to do it in the town for too long, if she opened more shops, if the business was not good, it would be a loss, and the town was so big, and those people in the village didn't come every day to catch the market in the town, so they naturally had to take this into account.

"What? Monthly rent? You mean January and January? When the old woman heard this, she frowned and said. This can't be done, I have to rent this yard for a year, if you rent it this month. I have to find someone next month! ”

Chen Chunhua expected her to say this, said. "I don't talk about the rent for January and January. You know that if this business is not good. It's going to be refunded, and besides, I'm going to rent this rent for three or four months, if it can be done, I'll give you a decision, if not, I won't stay much! ”

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said. "It's really not going to work!"

"Cheng, I still have something to do in my shop. Let's go back first! Chen Chunhua didn't hesitate at all, stood up and left the shop.

Qiu Ju watched Chen Chunhua come back and said. "What's the matter, the owner is in the house?"

Chen Chunhua sat on a chair in the room and said. "In the house, I just told her, she doesn't agree, this can't be helped, I can't take this risk. If you rent it for a year, you will have to return if the business is not good in the future, and Dong Niang told me last time that you have to pay some money if you return it. It's better to leave it at that! ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ju knew that this was not a discussion, and couldn't help but sigh. Road. "That's just as well!"

The idea of opening another shop was shelved because of this, and in the years to come. The shop has been very busy.

By April, the houses in the village had been repaired. Chen Chunhua never went back to take a look.

The boss came once ago, saying that he had built the roof today, and he was going to have a banquet for the guests in two days.

Chen Chunhua has also been busy buying some things and going back in the past two days, and inviting guests to feast in the house, this is a matter of the new house, and it must be done bigger.

This Chen Chunhua has never done this, and he can't think of anything for a while, this custom is also very quirky, and he has to serve ten bowls of vegetables alone.

asked Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju had never done this in the house, so naturally he didn't know.

Early in the morning, the second aunt came to the shop, saw that Chen Chunhua was busy with her work, and pulled her to discuss the banquet.

"Chunhua, how many meat and vegetarian dishes are you going to make for these ten dishes?" The second aunt is helping Chen Chunhua's house, and she naturally has her part in the banquet.

Chen Chunhua looked at the second aunt and said. "Second aunt, how many meat dishes do you think it should be?"

"This one, like the one in our village, is mostly three meat dishes, like this one in the town, I walked through it once a few years ago, and I served five dishes!"

Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "That's it, just serve five meat dishes!"

"Hey, I just said like this, you see that there are not many people in the village who are familiar with your house, please come and eat, not to mention that the aunt is not very atmospheric, the thing is like this, five meat dishes are still made by people in the house, and four dishes are enough for outsiders, which is atmospheric enough!"

"Alas, four dishes are four, but these four meat dishes, what do you produce?"

"Chicken, duck and fish, the top is complete, and the rest is vegetables, you can look at the whole by yourself, but there are five vegetarian dishes, there must be a sweet dish!"

After talking to the second aunt, the two went to the vegetable market to buy the guy's things, and the second aunt said, invite the people who are close to the surrounding area to come to the house for a meal, in general, it is only a dozen households, and there are five or six tables.

Chickens and ducks are bought in one place, and if you buy more, you will naturally have less, and the second aunt will bargain, that chicken weighs two pounds, ten cents a pound, and she said that it is less than two cents a pound.

After buying chickens and ducks, this meat will be put aside from the stall that I often go to buy, I bought five or six catties, and the fish has to be bought ready-made, and the second aunt said that the boss went to the next door to save a few fish, and Ming'er sent it over.

After buying this thing, he handed it over to the second aunt to take it back, thinking that the new house in the house had been repaired, Chen Chunhua couldn't be happy, Qiu Ju saw that Chen Chunhua was smiling all day long, and couldn't help but quip. "Sister-in-law, don't laugh, beware of not closing your mouth at night!"

Chen Chunhua crossed Qiu Ju and said. "What's the matter, I'm not happy about this, when you build a new house in the house in the future, see if you're happy!"

"Lehe, of course you have to be happy, when will I have to repair the house in the house!" Qiu Ju said and put down the water scoop in his hand and said. "Sister-in-law, why do you say that this person is so different from people, why are you so good at using this brain?"

When Chen Chunhua heard this, she was afraid that Qiu Ju was also anxious, so she patted her hand and said. "Qiu Ju, you can't say this, I'm not very enlightened in my mother's house, there are five brothers and sisters in the house, I can't eat anything, and I can't wear the leftovers, I can't get this new clothes to wear all year round, I'm afraid I don't want to live such a hard life after getting married!"

Speaking of this, Qiu Ju was not bored anymore and said. "Sister-in-law, this is all in the past, and now the days will be good!" It's not easy to be a co-wife, and I can't even go back to my own mother's house, this is bumping into a good family, and the three brothers of the big brother have a good temperament, just bumped into it, otherwise it's really hard to say, several families on her mother's side are like this, and the new daughter-in-law has a noisy, bitter, and who lives a good life.

Thinking of those people in Chen Chunhua's mother's family, Qiu Ju felt very uncomfortable, she came back once, this looks like it's not easy to get along with, how can anyone ask for money from the married girl, this is not to be blamed and scolded!

"Sister-in-law, your new house has been repaired, and you invite someone to have a banquet, but you want to go to your mother's house to say something?" This new house banquet is a happy event, so naturally I have to say, the people from my mother's side will come, and if you don't come, it's nothing.

Chen Chunhua heard this and said. "If you don't say it, you can do it?"

"I'm afraid this is not good, the happy event in the house naturally has to be said, and I have to invite my mother's family to come over for a meal, if they come, it is naturally good, if they don't come, there is nothing to say!"

"Cheng, then I'll say to the eldest brother, let people say it!" If you invite them, they will definitely come, can you come if you have to eat? It's okay to be someone else, this Chen will definitely come over.

The new house was repaired, and on the day of the feast, the big drum was invited to the house, and Chen Chunhua went back to the village on the first day, but lived in the old house, and the new house was repaired, so he could naturally live after the feast.

The new house is much bigger than the old house, and there is a one-person-high blue brick wall outside, the boss wants to save this, and she disagrees with the adobe bricks outside, and the green bricks are still built on the back.

It was a very busy day, and the eldest borrowed four tables from the second aunt's house, the big pillar house, and the big treasure house, and put two from his own house and placed them in the courtyard of the new house.

In addition, a large stove was built in the courtyard of the old house for cooking.

"Qiu Ju, look at the steamed buns, wait for the guests to come!" The second aunt came in from outside with a large pot of vegetables and shouted at Chen Chunhua. "Chunhua, are you the whole fish?"

"It's all ready, just waiting for the pot!"

Qiu Ju was busy lighting the fire on the side, stood up and opened the lid of the pot, picked up a white steamed bun and broke it in half, blew it and took a bite, and said. "It's steamed, it's so strong!"

"Cheng, we're all busy, I'll go and see how many people are coming, and after listening to the drums, we'll serve the food!"

There are only four dishes of chicken, duck and fish, and the remaining dishes are made of green vegetables, glutinous rice balls, and a few fried vegetarian dishes, such as sweet potato soup, fried sweet potato skin, and bean sprouts

The second aunt looked over from the new house, then pulled Chen Chunhua to the side and said. "Chunhua, there are several of your mother's family members, should you go to say hello?"

Chen Chunhua was stunned, how many? "How many are they?"

"I don't recognize this, I heard the third child shouting, I'm afraid it's your mother and two sisters-in-law, and the fourth girl who came back!"

When Chen Chunhua heard that Siya was coming, she nodded and said. "Cheng, I'm going to say hello!"

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you, this will go, remember to take the money, they will naturally have to give a share of the feast, you don't care about anything first, take it later!"

"Well, I see!"

Chen Chunhua hadn't seen Siya for a long time, and she heard her sister-in-law say that Siya was injured last time, and she almost didn't survive, and when she entered the courtyard of the new house, she saw Siya, walked over and greeted Chen, called the two sisters-in-law, and saw them sit at the table, which was nothing to greet.

As soon as Siya saw Chen Chunhua coming, she immediately pounced on her, Chen Chunhua touched her head and said to Chen. "Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you eat some snacks first, I have to go to work!" After speaking, he took Siya to the courtyard of the old house. (To be continued......)
