Chapter 198: Putting the Sky Lantern
The next day, Huang Congjiang took his fourth brother to Xu's house to send a gift to him.
Originally, the fourth brother went to Xu's house to send a gift to this matter.
It's just that the fourth brother is still young, and the gifts are too heavy, so Huang Congjiang carried the things and went to Xu's house with the fourth brother to send the gifts.
It's just that after the Xu family wanted to keep Huang Congjiang's father and son for dinner, Huang Congjiang waved his hand.
The son-in-law who has the ability to give a festival gift took the daughter-in-law who married out and went back to her parents' house together, but the fourth brother and Zijun did not get married, and the fourth brother could stay at the Xu family for dinner and then come back, but Huang Congjiang is a family member, how can there be a reason to stay at the daughter-in-law's mother's house to eat when there is a holiday.
Huang Congjiang hurriedly refused, and came back after sending things.
Although the fourth brother is young, he has been studying at the academy for more than half a year, and he understands some rules and etiquette.
The fourth brother is quite knowledgeable about etiquette, and he can also say a few words to several adults in the Xu family.
Of course, most of these rules learned by the fourth brother were learned from Zhao Changsheng.
Because the two of them were in the same situation, they were both married but not married, and the two of them discussed and studied kung fu with each other for several days, going to their mother-in-law's house, how to speak, how to greet each other, and so on.
The Xu family is naturally extremely satisfied with the fourth brother.
Not only did they think that the Huang family had helped their family before, but they could also see that Huang Yicheng's love for Zijun, Huang Yicheng's eldest Zhou Zheng, is still studying, no matter what happens in the future? At least it's a lot better than most of the people of the same age in the village.
In addition, the Huang family also loves Zijun very much, and he is the head of the village, if Zijun marries in the future, there will be no problem between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The Xu family naturally would not pick and choose the fourth brother.
"With such a big bag of grain, can our family eat it for more than a month?" After greeting the fourth brother and sending him away, Old Man Xu looked at the gift food sent by the Huang family and said.
"Isn't it? On that day, I saw that the Zhao family sent a gift to the Huang family, how much more than this? Xu Tang didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
"Sister-in-law, can the Huang family compare with the Zhao family? The Zhao family can be a declining eunuch family, the Huang family used to be refugees settled in our village, the Huang family can now have this recent situation, and the people in their family are also capable. When Xu Liu's sister-in-law said this, it seemed that the Huang family gave fewer gifts, and it was not as good as the Zhao family, Xu Liu's heart suddenly felt a little displeased.
The Huang family has given a lot of gifts, not to mention that in this disaster year, they can send food to their in-laws, this gift is not light? The Huang family sent a lot of food?
At this critical moment, what can be used to save lives?
"What's the comparison? There are some words, just talk about it at home, if it is spread out, it will be a shame for our family, this is a person, you have to be grateful. Xu Yushi glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law and said.
"My daughter-in-law said the wrong thing, brother and sister, my sister-in-law didn't mean that before, so I said it casually." After Xu Tang saw that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly said.
"Mother, look, our family returns the gift, what is appropriate this time?" After Xu Mu saw that his daughter-in-law said the wrong thing, he hurriedly changed his words and asked.
Xu Mu also knew that his daughter-in-law didn't mean anything else when she spoke, she was just a little straightforward.
It's just that this heart is about to hear something else in other people's ears.
Xu Yu and Xu Liu also knew Xu Tang's temperament, and the two of them also said something.
"Don't go back to the grain, and then return the gift, you can't go back to the Huang family to give us so much, this is also the Huang family's intention, just return a pound of sugar, three chickens, and a piece of cloth is almost enough."
These things are light, Zijun alone can take them back to the Huang family, and in two days, let Zijun take them to the Huang family. Xu Yushi gritted his teeth after thinking about it.
Although the Xu family's return gift is not as good as the Huang family, these things are the greatest sincerity that the Xu family has come up with, and there are a lot of them.
"Cheng, these things should be almost." Old man Xu also nodded in agreement.
........。
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Huang family had a reunion dinner.
After eating dinner, Huang Pingcheng, Huang Congjiang, and Huang Congjiang, father and son, complied with the request of the head child of the family and tied them with a few sky lanterns.
He said that he would put a sky lantern and make a wish and pray for rain.
"Put the sky lantern, you need a brazier to make a fire, you can put it, we don't have so many braziers for you to put the sky lantern, how wasteful is this?" When Huang Liu heard that she was going to put a sky lantern, and she also knew that a brazier was needed to put a sky lantern, Huang Liu was suddenly a little reluctant.
There are many babies in the family, and one person puts a sky lantern, which wastes a lot of braziers.
Besides, there are not so many braziers at home.
Even if there are so many braziers, Huang Liu is reluctant.
A copper basin requires a dozen or even twenty copper plates.
The baby at the head of the family is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ....., nine babies, if you want nine braziers, then you have to throw out one or two hanging money, thinking of this, Huang Liu's heart suddenly distressed.
"This, otherwise, let's put a sky lantern and make a wish." When the fifth sister saw this, her face fell.
"Mother, let's put it without a brazier, Dad, after you tie up the sky lantern, let's light the torch behind the sky lantern, Dad, you get a few sticks at the bottom of the sky lantern and fix the torch, so that the sky lantern can also fly up and release it." Huang Yiyun smiled when he saw that the first few small ones in the family had a disappointed look on his face after hearing that he couldn't put the sky lantern.
"Cheng, then dad will try it first, and see if he can put it into it." After Huang Congjiang heard this, he nodded and said.
After Huang Congjiang experimented with two sky lanterns in a row, this was successful.
The first sky lantern, because the torch was too close to the sky lantern, had not yet released a few meters of effort, and it was lit.
The second sky lantern is because the torch at the bottom of the sky lantern is not fixed, and in the middle of the sky lantern, after the wind blows, the sky lantern burns in the air.
It wasn't until the third one that Huang Congjiang successfully released the sky lantern, flew far away, and after disappearing, he didn't see the sky lantern light or fall.
"Okay, dad and your uncle will tie a few more, and after one person, all of our family will put a sky lantern to make a wish." Huang Congjiang saw that after his experiment was successful, he tied up the sky lantern in his hand, and his hands and feet became faster and faster.
The sky lantern is made of bamboo strips and that kind of thin paper pasted together.
The workmanship is simple, not complicated, and there is no elaborate work.
Less than half an hour later, the Huang family, big and small, had a sky lantern in their hands.
"I want to make a wish, I hope it will rain tomorrow, and the weather will not be so hot, it is really uncomfortable." After the fifth sister got the sky lantern, she couldn't wait to make a wish.
"I may wish, I hope that when I grow up, I will be beautiful." After the wish made by the sixth sister came out, several adults of the Huang family heard it and laughed loudly.
After the sixth sister is nine years old this year, she also knows that she is the age of Aimei.
