Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wedding Banquet Takes Place
Early the next morning, Grandpa Xu embarked on the way home with Duan Huan.
The large and bulky things were all put into the space, and the grandfather and grandson took the train back to Tianpeng with two burdens.
Fortunately, there were not many people on the train on the way back, and the carriage was empty, so I read a newspaper quietly with Grandpa Xu.
I read it word by word, and when I finished reading, the train arrived at the station.
Grandpa Xu asked Duan Huan to take out the pair of red warm water bottles before getting out of the car, and Duan Huan was quite puzzled, wasn't he afraid of accidentally breaking the inner tank?
As soon as I got out of the gate of the train station, I saw Jia Junbo squatting next to the ox cart.
This can be regarded as discovering Grandpa Xu's intentions, and after going back, you can't conjure a pair of warm water bottles out of thin air.
"Uncle Jiajun!" Wan Huan stood in the crowd and waved vigorously to Xu Jiajun.
Xu Jiajun heard the shouts of Huanhuan, and immediately went against the flow of people, and took the two burdens on Grandpa Xu's body, "Sixth Master, did you and Xiao Yu'er go smoothly along the way?" ”
"Smooth! There were not many people in the car back! Grandpa Xu smiled and said, "Xiang Jun's big day is coming, right?" ”
"The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow!" Xu Jiajun put the burden on the ox cart and said with a beaming face.
Duan Huan hurriedly congratulated Xu Jiajun: "Congratulations, Uncle Jiajun!" ”
"Haha! The day after tomorrow, Brother Xiang Jun still wants you to help roll the bed! Xu Jiajun touched the top of Huanhuan's head and said with a smile.
Huan was surprised: "Roll out of the bed?!" ”
"Yes, it's for you to roll around on the bed in your third brother's new house a few times! Your third brother likes our little fish, and he said he wants a cute girl like a little fish! "Grandpa Xu thought it was a happy and didn't know what a rolling bed was.
"But, it's not a boy's business to roll the bed, wright?" Isn't the original intention of rolling the bed to get a man in one fell swoop?
Grandpa Xu said to Xu Jiajun with a serious expression: "Jun Wazi, this matter is not a joke!"
The new daughter-in-law's family has to be happy? Besides, isn't your little tiger quite suitable? ”
"Sixth master, you don't know, this request was made by the Xiaomei family,
said that it is a male baby and a female baby, and they all want to be smart and awake dolls,
The dolls that will be born in the future will be smart! Xu Jiajun seems to be a little incomprehensible to his in-laws' request.
Huan was surprised, it seems that she seems to have decided the mascot of the rolling bed this time.
Although she is now the body of a little doll, the core is already an older young woman, and it is still a little embarrassing to be assigned such a task.
Grandpa Xu is very Xu Jiajun, and the two chatted hotly all the way, thinking about things and pointing fingers to each other.
"Tsk-" At this time, Xiao Jin screamed and swooped down.
Kim was rushing at him, and he flew fast with his wings wide spread.
The oxen pulling the cart saw a large shadow coming from the black ground, and was immediately frightened to stop and dare not go forward.
Lao Niu OS: I'm scared to death Dad! Ask the old cow for my psychological shadow area.
Grandpa Xu saw that Xiaojin was about to land on the ox cart, and quickly hugged the warm water bottle into his arms.
This allowed the two warm water bottles to avoid the fate of rags before they came in handy.
Where can Xiao Jin take care of these things, after successfully landing, he rushed towards Jian Huan directly with his feet.
Duan Huan touched Xiao Jin's head and smoothed it, and after Xiao Jin finished enjoying it, she also used her crooked mouth and gently combed her hair.
One person and one carving, you rub me, I touch you, and I am very affectionate.
Since Xiao Jin came to the Duhuan family, the two of them have never been separated.
I still miss Xiaojin in the provincial capital these days.
Soon arrived at home, Grandpa Xu just opened the door and arrived at the door of the hall, he was startled by a bunch of small animals.
There were hares and pheasants, all of them were injured in different situations, some were already dead, and some were still breathing.
As soon as Xiao Jin saw that Duan Huan entered the door, he came over with a hare in his mouth, and he was still at the feet of Duan Huan.
As happy as she could, she had heard from cat slaves that if cats saw that their minions were dead all day long and didn't go out, they would regard themselves as the pillars of the family, and go out to hunt and bring back prey to support their shovel officials.
This Xiaojin is like this, not only does he raise himself as a pillar of support, but he is afraid that he is going to open a game shop for himself and make a fortune directly, right?
"Xiaojin, are these for me?" Wan Huan touched Xiao Jin's head.
Xiao Jin used its claws to push the game in the direction of Huanhuan, but his head was tilted to the side, looking very arrogant.
Grandpa Xu said next to him, "Leave Xiaojin at home, I guess I'll go out hunting when I'm bored!" I've never seen it hit so much! ”
When Grandpa Xu packed up all these wild things and gave some of them to Xu Jiajun, his family was about to have a wedding wine.
The meat ticket is limited, and I bought less than ten catties of pork and a few catties of meat skin, pig water and pig head meat.
Just these pig's head meat, pig sewer and meat skin that don't need tickets, I still went to the unified slaughterhouse of the non-staple food station several times, begged my father to tell my grandmother, and stuffed money and handed cigarettes to buy them.
Otherwise, the workers at the slaughterhouse will be digested internally, and they will not be sold outside at all.
With these pheasants and hares now, adding some artichoke or something to braise it is also a decent banquet dish.
Although it is not as good as pork, it is meat!
In the evening, Zhang Qiugui took her two daughters-in-law to the house to borrow tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.
Nowadays, no matter whether it is a happy event in the countryside, as long as it is a dam banquet (Sichuan Province also calls it nine bucket bowls or nine bowls), they will borrow these furniture from their neighbors.
Now the living conditions are difficult, even the trees on the mountain are collective, and weddings and funerals need to be beaten with furniture and coffins, and they have to be opened.
Therefore, the furniture of each family is barely enough for their own use, and it is definitely not enough to set up a banquet, and they must be borrowed from neighbors.
The furniture and objects were marked with marks, and when the feast was finished, they were sent back one by one.
At this time, the wedding custom is still very interesting, the night before the wedding, a simple banquet will be placed, commonly known as "flower night".
Neighbors and relatives who arrived early, regardless of their seats, had a lively meal the night before.
It is said to be a banquet, but limited by the current conditions, that is, semi-vegetarian dishes, roasted potatoes with fatty meat, stewed cabbage with pig's head meat, and the remaining two are vegetarian dishes.
These dishes are also rare and delicious for everyone, and they are all very happy to eat.
And Duan Huan found a very strange phenomenon, when the people in the village came to eat and drink, each family basically only sent a representative, and not the whole family came to eat.
"Zuzu, why do I see that there is only one person in each family?" On the way back from eating, I was still asking.
Grandpa Xu touched Duan Huan's head and said, "Now the food of the family is tight, and only a few cents of gift money is hung, and the whole family will not be able to eat all the food in your uncle's family for a year?" ”
After listening to it, I suddenly realized that in the final analysis, it is still a planned economy with a lack of materials.
Back at home, Grandpa Xu used a steel pot to make a bowl of poached egg noodles for Duan Huan, because she was not full.
It's not all because the food is not appetizing, but more importantly, by the time the second bowl of rice is added, the inside of the retort is already empty.
