Chapter 6: The Patriarch's Discovery

Whether to buy land or do business is still inconclusive. Gui Chongyang came back from thousands of miles, no matter what the people in the second room of the Gui family thought of him, a reception banquet was indispensable.

It is said that the reception banquet is just a home-cooked dish, but because not long after the Dragon Boat Festival, there is still half a bacon in the kitchen for the festival collection, even if there is a meat dish. Stir-fried garlic sprouts with bacon, boiled small fish with cabbage, eggplant with garlic, fried chili pepper with dried radish, four dishes, accompanied by dried millet rice, although it is just an ordinary food in the countryside, it looks like it is full of color, flavor and flavor.

Gui's second grandmother is a butcher, and she also has a good stove skill, and she taught her daughter-in-law by hand, although the food made by the master in the county is not as good as the food, but it is not inferior to the cook who receives the wedding banquet in the countryside. However, in the end, it is a woman's family, it is not easy to show up, and there are only a limited number of people who can invite their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out to receive a banquet, which is not a livelihood.

The four dishes in front of him are Yang's craftsmanship.

Although in the end it was not decided what to do to buy the land, but with the silver, the Yang family had hope. It's really been poor and scared all these years, and when I encounter difficulties, I really have nowhere to borrow copper money. Whether it is resentment or anger, it is nothing before the major event of marrying a daughter-in-law, it is naturally a happy tie to Gui Chongyang.

If it is someone else's house, even if it is a village household, there are guests who have come, and there must be no difference between men and women, only men accompany the guests, and women have to use them in the kitchen. But Mei's is not an outsider, he is the niece of Gui's second grandfather, and Gui Chun's cousin, so naturally there is no need to shy away from it. Mei Duo, the niece of the Mei family, is fourteen years old, and she can be raised in the Gui family, and she grew up with the Gui Chun brothers, and she is the same as her own brothers and sisters; As for Gui Chongyang, although he is twelve years old, he has a young birthday, and he is born prematurely and thin, and he looks like a teenager. Therefore, the crowd sat in circles.

Gui Chongyang rushed for a long time, he was already hungry, looking at the farmhouse rice in front of him, he couldn't help but have a big appetite, and he was full of words, but he refused to move his chopsticks.

Gui's second grandfather frowned, thinking that Gui Chongyang was picky about food, and he didn't like it, and he didn't know how to deal with this strange nephew.

Gui's second grandmother was very arrogant, the Yang family was still excited, and the Mei family was not willing to give up, but Gui Chun and Mei Duo were mostly curious about Gui Chongyang, and they couldn't help but look at him and found that his eyes kept looking at the kang.

A white dumpling on the kang is not honest, staring at the dining table.

Mei Duo got up and said, "Lantern Festival should be hungry too, I'll go mix some food for it." ”

"Lantern Festival" is the name of the little white cat, this cat doesn't look big, but it is already seven or eight years old, and it grew up with Gui Chongyang. The name "Lantern Festival" was given by Gui Yuan before his death, saying that "Chongyang" and "Lantern Festival" are both festivals, and it sounds like a family.

Gui Chongyang hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble my cousin." ”

Mei is Gui Chongyang's cousin, and Mei's eldest brother is naturally Gui Chongyang's cousin, so that Gui Chongyang and Mei Duo are cousins and brothers who are slightly farther away.

Domestic cats are good livestock, although Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother felt that they should not prepare food for cats before eating, but seeing Gui Chongyang's reaction, they didn't stop them.

The Lantern Festival has always been arrogant, and it is willing to eat other people's food at will. Seeing Mei Duo coming over with a rice bowl, the small rice mixed with cabbage and small fish in it, and the fishy smell that came to the nose caused the Lantern Festival to move away.

Seeing this, Mei Duo couldn't help but reach out and touch Lantern Xiao's body.

Lantern Festival did not avoid it, but snuggled up to Mei Duo's arm, very affectionate and flattering. Mei Duo was overjoyed, and smiled, revealing a pair of pear vortices.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun are looking at this side and looking at each other. Gui Chongyang has always loved to think a lot, and calculated Mei Duo's age in his heart, adding a hint of worry. Gui Chun looked straight, and then he didn't know what to think, and hurriedly looked away.

Just this glance also made Mei Duo notice. Mei Duo lowered her head and continued to touch the Lantern Festival, not knowing that the pink root of her ears had revealed her secret.

Although Gui Chongyang is not yet old enough to know about the relationship between men and women, he has also heard of the relationship between men and women. The two people in front of him, although they didn't have eyebrows, obviously had something.

One of the two people in front of me is a cousin, the other is a cousin who has turned a corner, one is eighteen and the other is fourteen years old, and he is about to reach the age of his wife, and he has the love of childhood sweethearts, not just in one place.

Gui Chongyang is determined to be a good patriarch and repay the debts of his "father" back then, so he naturally has a plan in his heart.

A family, multiplication is a big deal. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial examination has flourished, and the imperial examination has become the best way to promote the strength of the family. But the younger generation of men in the Gui family, there are only Gui Chongyang, Gui Chun and Gui Qiu at the moment, needless to say, the two Gui Chun brothers have not even been to the village school because of their poverty, although there is still a chance to study now, but there are still qualification requirements; Gui Chongyang was born prematurely and was weak, and when he waited for filial piety, he didn't know if he could survive the pain of the imperial examination.

Gui Chongyang puts more hope on the next generation, which naturally coincides with the Yang family, and looks forward to the Guichun brothers marrying and having children as soon as possible.

Seeing that there was hope in his thoughts, Gui Chongyang's gaze at Gui Chun was more loving, and he couldn't wait to have more little nephews immediately to enlighten himself.

Gui Chun was stared at and couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at Chongyang?" ”

Several elders had already moved their chopsticks, and they all looked at Gui Chongyang when they heard the words.

Gui Chongyang looked at Gui Chun more and more seriously and carefully, and said, "I saw that Brother Chun's face was full of red light, like a red luan star. ”

Gui Chun was stunned by what he said, and Yang was already smiling: "Really? You've also learned this, show your eldest brother where this marriage is! ”

The girl in the village, Yang, has already seen it several times, and all of them have people, and there are many shortcomings. In the next village, there is a good girl who has not yet said her mother-in-law's family.

Gui Chongyang looked at Yang, his face was incomprehensible, but he refused to speak, and only quietly noticed the reactions of Gui Chun and Mei Duo out of the corner of his eye.

There was no expectation or shyness on Gui Chun's face, as if he was not mentioning his own family affairs; Mei Duo still smiled, but she paused when she touched Lantern Xiao's hand.

Isn't this marriage just around the corner? Why did Yang turn a blind eye?

Gui Chongyang first arrived, I don't know if there is anything in it, it is not easy to uncover it, so he only said vaguely: "It should be soon, Brother Chun's face is an early father." ”

Yang listened, and his eyes lit up.

Grandma Gui couldn't stand it, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "What nonsense, it's good to eat." ”

Although Gui's second grandfather didn't speak, he was obviously dissatisfied with Gui Chongyang's "nonsense". He didn't think that a teenage child could really tell fortunes face-to-face, but Gui Chongyang deliberately showed off when he read two related books. With such a small physique and such an unsteady-minded temperament, Grandpa Gui really can't rest assured.

Mei was originally a little distracted, but now she has come to her senses, and she can't help but look at her niece, with a hidden worry in her eyes, obviously she doesn't really know anything about her niece's feelings.

Gui Chongyang saw it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more surprised.
