In the early morning, a round of morning sun rises from the other side of the field, and golden light is sprinkled through the green cracks. DS this site has changed its website, shorthand method:,] Xiahe Village has just woken up from the morning fog, and Zhu Ping'an's house has been lively.

Today is the time for Zhu Ping'an's family to hold a water banquet, his grandfather and grandmother and the family of the fourth uncle came to help, and the eldest aunt and Zhu Pingjun also came, but the uncle who had just returned home the day before yesterday did not come, and I heard my grandfather say that he was at home to warm the book. The uncle didn't come, but he breathed a sigh of relief, it was good not to come, and he was upset when he came.

It is not so simple to set up a water banquet in the countryside, although the villagers come to the table at noon, but they need to prepare a day in advance, the ingredients, the venue, the tables, chairs, benches, spoons, chopsticks, etc. need to be prepared a day in advance. Yesterday, when my father returned from the town, he bought a lot of vegetables and fruits, and in the afternoon, he asked the village butcher to dispose of a big fat pig raised by the family, and sold it to the butcher for a small half fan of pork, and the rest of the pork was kept for tomorrow's banquet, and some meat was sent to the neighbors and grandfather's house.

In addition, the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan picked a lot of fungus mushrooms and other fungi from the mountains, and also caught a lot of big fat fish, enough to put one on each table, and eight hares, which is almost enough to add another meat dish to each table.

Early this morning, my grandfather packed up his neatly dressed people and came over to help, picking vegetables, washing dishes, etc., and was busy all morning. Although her mother Chen didn't say anything, her eyes were much warmer when she looked at her grandfather and grandmother.

At about nine o'clock, women who were familiar with their mother, Chen, came from the house with gifts, and after a pleasant greeting, the women chatted and picked and washed vegetables.

Zhu Ping'an went to Shanghe Village early in the morning, but the teacher still did not come back. When I got home, the house was already very lively, and the chef of the mountain village who was in charge of Murakami's busy work had already taken his apprentices into place, weaving pots, preliminarily processing ingredients, and was very busy.

It's almost noon. The villagers came to Zhu's house one after another, and most of the village was empty. If the seat is a villager, "feast, seat". Feast and feast, two names and one thing. Because there were many people, the flowing water banquet was placed in the open space outside the door, and the voices were boiling.

"Oh, your second child is angry."

"Your old Zhu family is smoking from the ancestral tomb this time."

"I was only ten years old when I was tested for Xiucai. It's really amazing, and I'll be back in a few years as a champion in the exam. ”

……

Whenever the Zhu family passed by, the people in the village would always express a sentence or two of envy or jealousy.

As a result, his mother Chen became the happiest person today, with a feeling of raising her eyebrows, and her face was red and radiant all day long.

Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.

The Zhu family's flowing water banquet today is full of dishes, especially meat dishes, fish and pork. Rabbit meat and mutton were put on the table in a different way, only the villagers who had been reluctant to open meat for a long time were full of oil, and the villagers were also full of praise for this flowing water feast, which made the mother Chen even more radiant.

Grandfather also felt that he had a lot of face, this flowing water banquet, he sat with Li Zheng and the village elder, not only that, Li Zheng and the village elder also touted Master Zhu a lot, which was sour, which directly made my grandfather almost drunk.

A feast of flowing water. I ate until four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was happy.

Zhu Ping'an, his grandfather and father stood outside the door, bidding farewell to the villagers one by one. Mother Chen beckoned familiar neighbors at home and brought the dishes that had not yet been chopsticks at home. And the lettuce ingredients were divided one by one, and let the neighbors take them away in a bowl.

It wasn't until the waning days that Zhu Ping'an's family restored the courtyard to the appearance of not having a water banquet.

In the evening, Zhu Ping'an took out the book he borrowed from the Li family last time, and copied the last part of the unfinished work.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhu Ping'an walked to Shanghe Village with his schoolbag on his shoulder. I was going to return the book to Li's house, and then borrow two more and come back.

As soon as he knocked on the door this time, Uncle Li, the porter, opened the door, probably because the rich man Li came back, and the porter Uncle Li began to do his duty again.

"Master Xiao Zhu is here to borrow books again, fast forward, fast forward."

Zhu Ping'an listened to the nondescript title of Uncle Li, the porter, and could only smile bitterly and arch his hand into the door.

The study is different from the past, when Zhu Ping'an entered the study, there were already many people in the study, not the black-bellied girl, but more than a dozen accounts who looked very shrewd. They sat at a table, and there were four or five people at each table, some planning plates, some reading account books, and some making records, each performing their own duties, and the whole study was filled with the sound of dialing.

The rich man Li fidgeted on the side, and went to a table from time to time to look at it for a while.

When Zhu Ping'an walked in, he was too embarrassed to disturb them, and bowed to the rich man Li from a distance, took out the book from his schoolbag, and signaled that he was here to return the book.

Li Dacai was anxious, so he just waved his hand casually and motioned for Zhu Ping'an to take care of himself.

So, Zhu Ping'an lightly bypassed the account rooms where the plates were dialed, went to the rows of bookshelves, and put the books back in their original places. Then, he stood in front of the bookshelf and looked for the books he had borrowed.

The four books and five classics have been turned over quickly, and this time I am going to borrow a miscellaneous book to take a look.

Zhu Ping'an aimlessly flipped through the bookshelf one by one, and when he saw a slightly interested book, he stopped to read it for a while, and then read the next one.

The sound of the crackling plate outside is still the same, almost never stopped, the account room responsible for checking the accounts is miserable, it has been checking the accounts for a few days, except for sleeping for a while at night, basically there is not much rest, but still no problem with the account book, Li Dacai is urging and urgent, so that these account rooms are even more tired enough.

Just when Zhu Ping'an was flipping through the books, the black-bellied girl led the bag maid and followed the two mothers into the study.

"Daddy, have you found out?"

The black-bellied girl asked as soon as she entered the door.

"Shu'er, why are you here, the study is hot, how good it is to stay in your room. Daddy asked someone to send two more basins of ice to your room. "The rich man Li saw that his baby bump entered the study, and he couldn't even take care of the account book.

"Daddy, I'm not hot, has the account book found out the problem?" Li Shu twisted her body twice and asked with a pout.

"Ahem, ahem, it's almost there." Li Da Rich Man coaxed.

"It's almost like that again, you said that yesterday, and you haven't found out yet...... Today is ...... again," Li Shu's pursed mouth could be tied to an oil bottle.

"It's better for you to check the accounts quickly, and you are not slow to collect the money."

Seeing that his baby pimple was angry, the rich man Li was also a little anxious, and turned his head to urge the table and account room behind him. (To be continued.) )
