After the things that needed to be prepared were ready, Zhao Yuan took Shao Meng and a few people to start working, first burning a fire on the side, and then slowly setting up the shelves needed to kill pigs.

"Uncle, Grandpa Tao brought a lot of delicious food, and some of the aunts they don't know." Yao Yuan, Jia Yang and Tao Pu, who had finished moving things, also arrived at the shed at this time, and the little girl Luoluo took a few friends and came to Zhao Yuan with melon seeds.

"Don't eat too many snacks, isn't it just a while after breakfast, and your little belly can still fit it?" Zhao Yuan patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile.

"We ate a little bit, it's so warm, uncle, we haven't made a barbecue for a long time, can we do barbecue today." Luoluo said greedily.

"Okay, you go and ask the aunts to prepare the spices." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'll just go tell my aunt." Luoluo heard Zhao Yuan's agreement, and ran towards the kitchen like the wind.

The first meal I had when I moved here was a barbecue, but the barbecue grill that was built with yellow mud and bricks has long been dismantled.

Now that we have all the materials at home, and there are so many people, it doesn't take much effort to build a bigger barbecue again.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the shelves and barbecue grills that need to be prepared are quickly prepared, and even the bamboo skewers used to thread vegetables are made into a large bundle.

In the shed, the bonfire is blazing, and everyone sits around the bonfire, rubbing ropes with sun-dried palm leaves, which will be used to hang bacon and sausages.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my father and sister-in-law have arrived, father, mother, eldest brother......" Meng Xiaobao knew that his family would come over, and kept staring at the road, when Zhao Yuan's father-in-law's family arrived, he found it for the first time, said to Zhao Yuan, and ran towards his father.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law, you are here, it's cold, come into the house and roast the fire." Zhao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and greeted.

"It's cold, you came with a donkey cart, you take the children into the house, we're here." Meng Ji said to Zhao Yuan's mother-in-law, Su Xiaoyun, and daughter-in-law Wei Qiumei.

"If you want to play, don't go." Meng Weiying, who was already one and a half years old, struggled from Wei Qiumei's arms to the ground, and said vaguely.

"Xiaobao, you come and take Xiaoying, don't let him fall." Seeing this, Meng Xun said to Meng Xiaobao.

"Let's go, Xiaoying, let my uncle hug me." Zhao Yuan looked at Meng Weiying, who was swaying and walking on the ground, and picked him up.

This year, the conditions at home have improved, there is sufficient nutritional supplement, and the little guy has grown very strong, probably because he is not familiar with Zhao Yuan, and he is struggling in Zhao Yuan's arms.

"Daddy, mother, mother......"

"What are you shouting, this is your uncle, the toys and those delicious things at your house are all given to you by your uncle and aunt, call your uncle." Wei Qiumei patted her son and asked him to call someone.

"Wow......"

The little guy cried suddenly, making Zhao Yuan, who was holding him, dumbfounded.

"Brother-in-law, look at this ......," Wei Qiumei said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Xiaoying is not familiar with me after all, Xiaobao, come and hug me." Zhao Yuan called Xiaobao to come over and tease the little guy.

"Uncle, why is the baby crying?" Luoluo asked curiously on the side.

"The child recognizes the birth, Luoluo, Xiaoya, Xingxing, and Xiaobao, I will give you a task to take care of Xiaoying." Zhao Yuan said to a few children.

"Don't worry, uncle, we will take care of the baby." Luoluo and a few people stepped forward and began to tease the little guy.

Meng Weiying's little guy is no stranger to Luoluo, knowing that this is the sister who goes to bring a lot of delicious and fun things to herself every time, so she stopped crying and walked towards Luoluo.

Zhao Yuan touched his nose and walked towards the shed with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and his mother-in-law and sister-in-law went directly to the kitchen to find Meng Ying.

"This is going to be a barbecue again, make such a long stove." Looking at the newly built barbecue brick stove outside the shed, his father-in-law Meng Ji is no stranger to it.

"Yes, I asked Guo Du to go to Xiaozhaozhuang and invite everyone to get together." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Master Meng, Brother Meng, come and sit here." Tao Pu and the others stood up and greeted Meng Ji and Meng Xun.

Since Zhao Yuan became an official, his father-in-law Meng Ji has also been upgraded to Master Meng, in Songjiazhuang, no one dares to exclude their family now, and the previous gossip has long disappeared from the mouths of Songjiazhuang people.

"Shao Meng, Yao Yuan, you go and make a fire in a few braziers at home, and the people from Xiao Zhaozhuang should be almost there." Seeing that there were so many people that he couldn't sit down, Zhao Yuan said to Shao Meng and the others.

"Yes, sir."

The brazier is a thick clay pot specially made by Zhao Yuan, framed with wood around it, which can be heated by charcoal fire.

"Why did you rub so many brown pounds, atoms, how many pigs are going to be killed?" After sitting down, Meng Ji saw a large pile of brown ropes on the side and asked.

"Are you going to kill six, father-in-law, have you killed the New Year's pig in the family?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Not yet, your mother-in-law said that she would kill you when she came back, and let you all drink shaved soup when the time comes." Meng Ji said with a smile.

"It's me who has too much to do, and I'm not idle until now, father-in-law, eldest brother, come, drink tea." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, seeing the tea that Tao Pu had poured on the stool on the side, he picked it up and handed it to Meng Ji and Meng Xun.

Shao Meng and the others took out all the braziers at home, put them outside the shed, and made charcoal fires.

"Yao Yuan, look at the children, there are too many fires here, be careful that they are hot." Tao Pu said to Yao Yuan.

"Okay, I'll watch." Yao Yuan nodded and said.

At this time, Meng Ying packed up the things that Tao Pu brought back, took a tea plate of melon seeds, dried fruits, biscuits and other snacks, and put them on the stool in the shed.

"Dad, big brother, everyone eats melon seeds."

"Hey." Meng Ji took a sip of tea and nodded at Meng Ying.

"Xiaoying, the pots at home may not be enough, take out the newly made wooden pots and soak them, and they will be used to hold pig's blood." Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

"It's already soaked, and the soybean oil at home has also been boiled in two large jars to dry, and you will go and mix it with the seasoning, the pig blood made last year is very delicious." Meng Ying said with a smile.

There will be a lot of guests at home today, and Meng Ying, as the hostess, is busy greeting guests, but fortunately, there are many helpers at home now.

Meng Xun was very curious about Zhao Yuan's workshop army, and kept asking Zhao Yuan's words, and the others also listened quietly, and several children ran over from time to time, grabbed a handful of food and ran away, like a group of cheerful horses.

"Atom, here we come." While speaking, Zhao Yuan heard the voice of Xiao Zhaozhuang's uncle Zhao Chuanyi, it was Xiao Zhaozhuang's uncles and relatives who had arrived.

"Luoluo, Luoluo, we're here." The children of Xiao Zhaozhuang also shouted loudly, ran over first, and shouted happily when they saw the little girl Luoluo.

Zhao Yuan's group of people, who were sitting around the bonfire, all stood up when they heard the sound and walked out to greet the people of Xiao Zhaozhuang.

"Uncle, uncle, second uncle, second uncle, third uncle, third uncle......" Zhao Yuan shouted one by one.

"Yo, my in-laws have arrived, and we are still talking about going to Songjiazhuang by the way, and we will come over together." Zhao Chuanyi saw Meng Ji and said hello.

"Guo Du went to my house first to inform us, and we have just arrived for a while, Brother Zhao, you come and bake the fire." Meng Ji said with a smile.

Xiao Zhaozhuang came to Zhao Yuan here today, there are not many ox carts and donkey carts in the village, so the old people and children can only sit over first, and the others still have to walk, and it will take a while to arrive.

Zhao Yuan beckoned his uncles and aunts, and asked Shao Meng and Guo Du to bring stools from the house or beckoned everyone into the house, and slowly with the arrival of everyone, Zhao Yuan's house suddenly became lively.
