Chapter Seventy-Four: Roasting Whole Sheep
As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped in the open space outside the door, and Lu Weicheng pulled Yu Qing and said, "The things we brought haven't been brought in yet." ”
Yu Qing patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot about it when I saw Xiaochuan in the morning, so hurry up and get it." ”
Over there, Qu Yingying and Yan Qing got out of the car, and also took out the big bags and small bags from the trunk of their cars, Qu Yingying said to Chuan: "I don't know how long you are going to live in the mountains, I see that the temperature has suddenly cooled, so I bought you and Xiaoqiu a down jacket and cashmere sweater." ”
Yan Qing raised the box in his hand and said, "I brought two sets of skin care products, and you guys will look at it yourself." ”
Yu Chuan's heart was warm, but he just shook his head and smiled: "When I came here, I just had a small box, and when I went back, it made it look like I was going to move......
Before she finished speaking, she heard Yu Qing calling her, and hurriedly ran over, Lu Weicheng smiled and said: "Xiaochuan, there are so many elders in Xiaoqiu's family, and you don't tell us a word, it's not very prepared." ”
Yu Chuan looked at the trunk, two boxes of bird's nest, two boxes of sea cucumbers, two boxes of American ginseng, and a box of Wuliangye, stuck out his tongue and said, "That's okay, I was even more embarrassed when I came, I came empty-handed." ”
Yu Qing glanced at her and said: "I knew that you were not long-hearted, forget it, wait for this matter, let's come again, specially to thank these elders, as well as Xiaoqiu and your friends, you really have to take this friendship to you." ”
Yu Chuan nodded and said, "I know, we've been all over the years......"
Lu Weicheng smiled: "Okay, you just know it in your heart, let's go, let's go in, there is no other way now." ”
Ning Ye walked into the Sanjin podium along the mezzanine first, and saw Zhang Shuqiu wearing a purple sweater jacket, his long hair tied back at will, wearing an apron, and he was busy on the stove, the fragrance of various foods and fireworks in the house came to his face, and the warmth in the kitchen dispelled the chill outside. Zhang Shuqiu looked back and saw Ning Ye, and said with a smile: "Back?" ”
At that moment, Ning Ye's heart softened, and he only felt that this was the warmest and happiest picture in the world, and a smile spread from the bottom of his heart, and he nodded: "Well, I'm back." Why are you alone, aunts and uncles? ”
Zhang Shuqiu said with a smile: "They went to set the table, and the fourth aunt went to Shangwan to get a roast sheep, and today I asked someone to help roast a sheep." ”
Ning Ye walked over, gently hugged Zhang Shuqiu from behind and said, "Xiaoqiu, let me hug it, I can see you as soon as I go home, it's good!" ”
Zhang Shuqiu patted Ning Ye's two hands that were staggered on her waist with her free hand and said, "Tired, right?" Didn't soak for a while? ”
"It's soaked, but nothing compares to holding you in my arms." Ning Ye kissed Zhang Shuqiu's ear and said.
Zhang Shuqiu laughed: "It's so itchy, don't make trouble, you help me put this dish on the plate, and I'll go out to greet it." ”
Ning Ye naturally knew that this was not the time to be warm, so he let go of his hand and nodded, "Okay, you go, are the dishes all fried?" ”
Zhang Shuqiu said as he walked out: "It's finished, when the eighth uncle comes back, you can start the meal." ”
As soon as Zhang Shuqiu walked down the road, he saw Wang Ertam leading everyone inside, hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him, looked at the big bags and small bags behind him, and said with a smile: "Where did you go shopping?" ”
Qu Yingying said with a smile: "I brought it here in the morning, but I forgot to take it in the car." You don't say anything, there are so many elders in the family, it makes us so rude. ”
Zhang Shuqiu took the bag in Qu Yingying's hand, turned around and went into the courtyard of Sanjin, and said with a smile: "Then what are you?" ”
"This is the down jacket I bought for you, and I didn't bring anything with me for the rest." Qu Yingying pouted.
Zhang Shuqiu smiled and said, "Well, now that I know, remember to move my home next time." ”
Yan Qing followed behind and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I must bring our family Lao Xia and Lao Yan next time, this place is so good." ”
Zhang Shuqiu nodded and said, "Welcome, I'll take you to the tea fields on the mountain when the time comes, don't you like our tea!" ”
Yan Qingjiao said angrily: "The tea you gave is too little, Lao Yan went to my house for dinner, and simply took it away, I don't care, you have to give me some more." ”
"Okay, I'll get it for you. Sit down, I'm going to the kitchen, there's something good to eat tonight. Zhang Shuqiu turned his head to greet Yu Qing and Lu Weicheng again: "Brother Lu, Sister Qing, you are too polite, Xiaochuan and I are very casual, you are like this, it will only make me uncomfortable." ”
Lu Weicheng put the box of wine on the table, smiled and waved his hand: "Come back, I don't know that there are so many elders in the family, it's very rude, I think there are a lot of people tonight, why don't we drink this wine?" ”
Zhang Shuqiu smiled: "Okay, listen to Brother Lu." ”
Yu Qing pulled Lazhang Shuqiu, pointed to the things on the tea table, and said softly: "It's really unprepared, these things, elders, you look at the points." ”
Zhang Shuqiu patted Yu Qing's hand and said, "Sister Qing, it's okay, you're too polite, you sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to serve the dishes." ”
Turning his head to see Cheng Ke, he greeted again: "Teacher Cheng, sit at will, you are slacking off today, you take care of it." ”
Cheng Ke waved his hand and smiled: "My driver is well treated, you are busy with you, leave me alone, shout if you want to help." ”
When it got dark, everyone arrived, the uncle divided the roasted whole sheep, served it to the table, the yard was full of aroma, Zhang Shuqiu smiled: "I'm hungry, eat some first, this mutton won't taste good when it's cold." ”
Everyone was lively and ate the mutton, the mutton was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, the fragrance was overflowing, and the taste was very good, Ning Ye's heart moved, and he whispered to Nie Sichao who was sitting next to him: "There are still such cooking masters in the village?" ”
Nie Sichao said with a smile: "It's an ancestral craft, and he used to be the chef of the Wang family." The young people in the family all opened hotels in the city, and the business was very good, but only two old people lived in the village and were reluctant to go out. ”
Ning Ye asked again: "Do you see if you can please come to the construction site one day?" ”
Nie Sichao nodded towards Zhang Shuqiu and said, "You let Xiaoqiu invite, others may not be able to move, the old man is old." ”
Seeing that everyone was eating about the same, the eighth uncle raised his glass and stood up and said: "It's rare to have so many guests today, as soon as Xiaoqiu comes back, the house will be lively, come, raise a glass together, welcome everyone!" ”
Everyone raised their glasses and stood up, Lu Weicheng was the oldest among the people who came today, and he smiled first: "Elders, we have taken the liberty of coming today and disturbed us." ”
Everyone drank the wine in the cup, Lu Weicheng didn't sit down, but he filled the wine glass, and watched everyone fill the wine, so he pulled Yu Qing, raised the wine glass and said: "We toast everyone with a glass of wine, first, everyone came today, all for the sake of our family Xiaochuan, our husband and wife are grateful, and second, Xiaochuan is here, and the elders take care of it!" Come on, we'll do it, you can do whatever you want! ”
Everyone stood up again and drank the wine in the cup, and the uncle said to Lu Weicheng with a smile: "Our Xiaoqiu said that Xiaochuan is the same as sisters, and we treat Xiaochuan as our own children, there is nothing to entertain, it is all coarse tea and light rice." We are in the countryside, it's good if you don't dislike it, this time I also know the road, no matter if Xiaoqiu is not at home in the future, come if you want, don't be polite, just be your own home! ”
Ning Ye looked at everyone relaxed, and even Yu Chuan, who hadn't spoken much a few days ago, returned to his previous smile and said softly to Zhang Shuqiu: "Xiaochuan's affairs have been arranged?" ”
Zhang Shuqiu nodded and chuckled: "You have made great contributions, everything is appropriate, don't thank you for your kindness, or I will also give you a toast?" ”
Ning Ye smiled and said: "I don't dare to take credit, speaking of which, I should give you a glass of wine, but the matter of the two of us, I will talk about it when I go back to the room later, I will toast first......" Saying that, he picked up the wine glass and stood up and said to the eighth uncle: "Eighth uncle, I salute you with a glass of wine, I really borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”
The eighth uncle raised his wine glass with a smile, waved his hand and said, "You have invited people over, of course I have to keep up with the logistics work, it is all within my responsibility, let's have a drink." ”
Ning Ye drank it all with a smile, poured himself full of wine, and said to Nie Sichao: "Sichao, I still want to toast you with a glass of wine, don't say anything, it's all in the wine!" ”
Nie Sichao stood up with his wine glass: "It's serious, it's the same as what the eighth uncle said, it's all within the scope of the matter." ”
Ning Ye poured wine again, raised his glass and said to Wang Ertao: "Shuyan, come, let's have a drink too, this matter depends on you ......"
Wang Ertam stood up and raised his glass and said: "I don't dare to take credit, we all hope that this thing can be done, for you it is work, for us, the meaning is very different, when the time comes, I am afraid that all the people in our county will have to toast you!" ”
Uncle smiled: "Yes, yes, let's all raise a glass, this road can be repaired, and it will be more convenient for you to come back later!" ”
When Yan Qing heard this, she hurriedly asked Zhang Shuqiu, "Do you want to build a road here?" ”
Zhang Shuqiu shook his head and said, "I'm still doing survey work, so it's hard to say for the time being." ”
Yan Qing said softly: "I want to take Comrade Lao Yan to see this place, if the road can really be repaired, this is a good project." ”
Zhang Shuqiu said with a smile: "Come at any time, just come and relax, about the project, you may have to ask Ning Ye, it is estimated that he will have a comprehensive consideration and planning, Dayun Mountain is so big, if you develop at will, I don't think it's good." ”
Yan Qing asked, "I heard that you took a team to inspect here, don't you have any ideas?" ”
Zhang Shuqiu said softly: "The idea is there, but this is not the time yet, wait a minute, I will tell you first if there is news." ”
Yan Qing still wanted to say something, but looked at the atmosphere on the table, thinking that there was still time at night anyway, so she didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and said with a smile: "You and Ning Ye, what's going on?" Why was I the last to know? ”
Zhang Shuqiu smiled and said: "I'm not a big star, can I make an official announcement if I fall in love?" ”
