Chapter 62: The Feast of Joy Comes to an End
Yun Zhibai helped fold up the square tables in the yard and moved to their house with Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang, Chu Yue, Shen Luo and Gongsun Lady cleaned the pots and pans neatly, these pots and pans were all taken from their house, Gongsun Auntie put the pots and pans in place, and was about to say goodbye to Yun Zhibai, Yun Zhibai hurriedly stopped them.
"Aunt Gongsun, Zhao Dalang, Yang Sanlang, Shen Luo, Chu Yue, today I Yun Zhibai really thank you from the bottom of my heart, you take such good care of me and Xiyan, you are busy this morning, you are good to us, but I must give this silver tael, I asked the treatment of the chef who held the full moon banquet outside, you must give me these thirty copper coins today!"
Yun Zhibai called Xiyan, Xiyan hurriedly took out the money bags that had been packed last night from the cabinet, a total of five money bags, each containing thirty copper coins, Xiyan took the five return gifts in the house in her hand, afraid that Gongsun Auntie and they would run away, she hurriedly rushed out of the house.
Xiyan gave the return gift to the Gongsun aunts, and forced the money bag into their hands, "If you don't accept it today, who will not be allowed to go out of the courtyard of the Yun family, Zhibai, you say yes, or yes, if anyone doesn't accept it, next time there is knowledge to learn, Zhibai is not responsible." Xiyan pretended to be annoyed and looked at the Gongsun aunts, and when the Gongsun aunts heard Xiyan say this, they could only stop refusing and put the money belts in their pockets one by one, Yun Zhibai smiled and said, "That's right, this is what we should give, not much, you don't have to be surprised!" ”
"Mr. Yun, where are you, the cooks at the full moon banquet outside are all twenty-five Wen, and you still don't give much, you see, there are five more Wen than other families, Mr. Yun has a large measure, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, Mr. Yun has a lot, and he will be blessed with good luck in the future." Aunt Gongsun rubbed her hands, this Mr. Yun and Xi Niang are really good people who have nothing to say, they don't let others suffer at all, this loss is all for themselves, it is really rare to see a person like Mr. Yun who is knowledgeable and has such a high quality.
"Aunt Gongsun, it seems that you haven't read the books I let you read on weekdays, you will use such a good sentence that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, this day is cold, although the sun is shining today, but the temperature is also low, you look at you, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables are red hands, Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang You have also worked hard, back and forth several times of food, but you are tired." Yun Zhibai looked at the red hands of the three women, and then looked at Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang, who were full of sweat, Zhao Dalang had been making sesame cakes, and his face was red and red, Yang Sanlang's work of serving vegetables was not easy to do, and on such a cold day, his forehead was still full of sweat.
"It's really hard for you today, you go back to take a shower and take a good rest, I'll cook to entertain you another day, you said you came to participate in the children's full moon banquet, but they are all here to help, this food is not good, and the drink is not good, Zhibai and I are both uncomfortable!" Xiyan looked at them like that, and said distressedly.
"Hey, Mr. Yun, Xi Niang, don't be polite to us, don't you all give silver taels, we get silver taels, and we help Mr. Yun, what a good thing, why not do it." Zhao Dalang's flushed face bloomed with a smile and said with a smile.
"Yes, the two of you are too kind and polite, such a person, the Buddha will bless you, okay, we will not delay Mr. Yun and Xi Niang to rest, Mr. Yun is happy today, I watched and drank a lot of wine, this stand here is shaky, Xi Niang, you quickly help Mr. Yun into the house to rest." Yang Sanlang looked at Mr. Yun, who was gradually getting drunk, and the taste of drunkenness was the most uncomfortable.
Yun Zhibai heard Yang Sanlang say this, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I'll help you take things home, I'll come back, so many pots and pans, how can you take them?" Saying that Yun Zhibai wanted to pick up the pots and pans on the ground, Yang Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward to support Yun Zhibai, and called Xi Niang, Xi Niang also stepped forward to support Yun Zhibai when he saw this, Yang Sanlang looked at the thin Xi Yan, and gestured to Zhao Dalang with his eyes, Zhao Dalang stepped forward, Xi Yan walked aside, and Yun Zhibai, who had stamina, was carried by Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang to the bedroom behind the main hall, Yun Zhibai shouted as he walked, "I'm not drunk, I can still drink." ”
Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang sent Yun Zhibai to the bedroom, Xiyan took off Yun Zhibai's shoes, helped him lie down on the bed, and covered him with a quilt, Yun Zhibai lay on the bed, and fell asleep in less than a while.
Xiyan went out of the house with Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang, and the Gongsun aunts didn't let her send it, and several people held pots and pans in their hands, waved their hands at Xiyan, and walked to their own homes.
Xiyan hugged the child, came to the bedroom, saw Yun Zhibai sleeping sweetly, she put Xi'er on the small bed, she woke up in the morning, tired for a day, she didn't feel too sleepy, she didn't do any work and felt a little tired, not to mention the princess and aunt, they did a day's work non-stop, and they were even more tired to fall asleep on the bed.
Xiyan came to the paper window, looking at the sunset outside, it was so beautiful, the big clouds hung in the sky, the fiery red sun was like a shy girl, only half of her face was exposed, looking at the beautiful sky, Xiyan had some indescribable feelings in her heart for a while, she gave birth to a child, life is a new stage, Zhibai is okay with her, after this day, Zhibai went to Baishan Academy in the morning, and came back with dusk, can she and the child be at home alone?
But like her is already very happy, she has not given birth to a child before, but also seen a woman carrying a child to the field, she doesn't have to do farm work now, she should bring a child, and when Zhibai goes to class in two days, she sews a strap and ties Xi'er behind her, Xi'er has to make a back basket when she is older, and she will carry Xi'er on her back when she cooks and does some housework in the future, so it will always work.
I'm also a mother, what can a person who is a mother be stumped by? Xiyan looked back at Yun Zhibai and Xi'er, who were sleeping soundly, she, a mother, had to take advantage of the time when the father and daughter were resting, and went to the kitchen to cook dinner, thinking that Xiyan got up, went to the kitchen to get busy, and by the way, cooked a bowl of sobering soup, and then drank when Zhibai woke up, sobered up, Zhibai didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, so the amount of alcohol was quite poor, this child was happy for a while at the full moon banquet, and he drank like this, so he was happy.
Gongsun Aunties walked home with pots and pans, they were all tired, and they came to work before dawn in the morning, but although they were so tired, they felt happy in their hearts, and they could contribute something to Mr. Yun and Xi Niang's family, they felt happy, "I heard Xi Niang say that Mr. Yun will go to Baishan Academy in two days, this Baishan Academy is far away from this suburb, Mr. Yun goes out early and returns late every day, do you say that Xi Niang can take care of the children at home alone?" Aunt Gongsun asked them a little worriedly.
"This Xi Niang just gave birth to her first child, a lot of things related to children still don't understand, and Xi Niang is alone with the child at home, there are indeed many inconveniences, a person with a child at home is also bored and panicked, this is not to find someone to talk to, Gongsun Auntie, Shen Luo, or else, when we don't go to the market on weekdays, the three of us women go to the Yun family to accompany Xi Niang and the child, by the way, or accompany Xi Niang to talk, what do you think? Anyway, being idle at home is also idle. Chu Yue thought about it, if she doesn't catch the market on weekdays, she will also do female celebrity and embroidery at home, anyway, she can also take it to Xi Niang's house to do these female jobs.
"Yes, I agree with Chu Yue's words very much, Xi Niang is also very knowledgeable, she also studied in Baishan Academy before, follow Xi Niang, you can still learn a lot of knowledge, I will go too, haha." Shen Luo clapped her hands like a little girl and agreed again and again.
"Yes, Mr. Yun went to class, this Xi Niang is really at home alone with the child There are many things to take care of, you go to the Yun family to accompany Xi Niang during the day, help Xi Niang take care of the child, this used to Mr. Yun has to come back to teach us after class on weekdays, how hard it is, now is the time for us to help them." Zhao Dalang responded, and Yang Sanlang beside him also nodded and agreed, "Then let's talk about this matter, Chu Yue, now that the weather is cold, the work of feeding the fish in the pond during this time will be handed over to me, so you can go to accompany Xi Niang with peace of mind." ”
"Then it's decided, Chu Yue, Shen Luo, we don't have time to go to the gathering tomorrow, so let's make an appointment to go together the day after tomorrow, how about it?" Aunt Gongsun asked Shen Luo and Chu Yue, and when she saw the two of them nodding, the matter was settled.
When the group walked to the main road, they saw several donkey carts carrying things, walking past them with a smile from the direction of Yunjin City, Zhao Dalang saw Zhou Lao driving a donkey cart from afar, and hurriedly called him, "Zhou Lao, why are so many donkey carts rushing back from Yunjin City today, what a good day is today, today is not the market day of Yunjin City, it should be tomorrow." Zhao Dalang also scratched his head when he saw Yang Sanlang and replied: "The market day is tomorrow, that's right."
Zhou Lao saw Zhao Dalang's puzzled look, and saw the Gongsun ladies holding pots and pans in their hands, as if they didn't know about Yunjin City, he quickly shook his head and said regretfully, "It's a pity, you didn't go to Yunjin City, today is the full moon banquet for the child born by the third lady of General Mo's Mansion, General Mo specially set up a free collection area for items in Yunjin City, and a family can receive one thing, and there are many styles of things to receive, many soldiers are guarding there, all kinds of good things, and the people of the entire Yunjin City are queuing up there." , Even some of the big rich families are there to join in the fun, I am a relative of Yunjin City came to tell me, I only knew the good news, I hurriedly rushed to the noon, you see me, I didn't get it until now. ”
Zhou Lao talked about what he received, and hurriedly walked to the board behind the donkey cart, and said to Zhao Dalang, "Look, fortunately I arrived, I received a big bag of high-quality rice, which is enough to eat for several months, this is the clothes and fabrics that the lady next door asked me to help her collar, you see this satin fabric, how good, although this is said to be free to receive, but it is all good things!" ”
