Chapter 2 The Banquet Turmoil

Although the time was rushed, the lunch was not rough, and there was fish and meat, and it really looked like that.

There were two tables in the courtyard, one for men and one for women and children.

After the women finished eating, the men were still eating and drinking. The face was flushed, and I don't know if it was because of drinking, or if I lost my fist, but in short, the people at that table were in full swing.

The sisters-in-law who were resting next to them covered their mouths and smiled, and then after a while, they began to divide the labor quickly, tidying up, washing the vegetables, and starting to work for dinner at night.

Song Jiu bought a lot of vegetables, just four chickens and ducks, not to mention pork, a pot of meat is really embarrassing.

The peasant family is poor, and no one lives with a tight belt on weekdays. Not to mention eating pork, even the oil is put thinly, and a small can of oil can be eaten by a family for two or three months.

It's just an ordinary person, unless it's a big day, it's extravagant, kill a chicken and duck, cut the meat. It's like Song Jiu, it's chickens and ducks, and it's pork and fish. I don't know whether to say that Song Jiu is generous and willing, or spends money lavishly. But no matter what, everyone is also stained.

Wange couldn't stay idle in the house, and after thinking about it, she pushed open the door and went out to help.

"Eh, why did the girl come out. We'll leave it to you, and you go and rest in the house. Chen Kui's daughter-in-law, Liu Fang, saw that Wange was helping to wash the dishes, and hurriedly asked her to put it away.

"Sister-in-law is fine, I'm idle in the house, I might as well come out and see if there is anything I can do to help." Wan Ge said in his mouth, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

It's just a matter of washing a few dishes, not to mention doing the work at home. It's that I followed the negative man in my last life, because of the embarrassment of life, what kind of family is not done by myself. Now that I think about it, I have done more than Yujia, and I don't know what I think, but I think that life is good.

Seeing this, Liu Fang didn't say anything more, squatted down and followed to help.

Song Jiu, who was drinking with him, looked over, and saw at a glance that Liu Fang was talking and laughing and washing dishes next to the well, and looked at the back that was thin and could even be described as skinny, and wrinkled his eyebrows.

Zhao Zhuang saw that Song Jiu was looking in one direction and didn't move, and he was suddenly happy when he couldn't see it, and said jokingly: "I said why didn't Brother Song drink it, his eyes stared at a certain place and he was stunned, this look, it turned out that he was looking at his sister-in-law!" ”

"Brother Song, are you in a hurry? That doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's daylight, and you have to be at night...... Right! Chen Kui smiled and gave Song Yu a meaningful look.

"Phew, Chen Kui, look at what you said." Liu Fang heard a sip and scolded with a smile: "This man drank a little monkey wine, and his mouth became unguarded, and he said all nonsense." ”

Knowing that he had gone too far, Chen Kui hurriedly laughed and said that he was happy to drink too much today, so that his sisters-in-law should not hear it.

Wange was thin-skinned and couldn't speak, and Liu Fang next to him laughed: "Your face is so big, everyone has heard everything you say, you can do it yourself!" After speaking, Chen Kui, who ignored the apology over there, took Wange's hand and ran to the kitchen.

Chen Kui suddenly grimaced, turned his head and saw Song Jiu staring at him, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"Brother Song."

"I don't care about you on a good day today, and I will be punished with three bowls."

"Okay." Chen Kui is also a cheerful person, he poured three bowls of goo-dong, and he was bored, and the people at the same table applauded the table when they saw it, and called him a man, which was enjoyable.

After such a lively scene at noon, everyone in the village knew that Song Jiu married his daughter-in-law with blood, bought a lot of good wine and good food, and set up a banquet in the courtyard, and the fragrance wafted so that everyone in the village could smell it.

Some idle old women came over to help, and Song Jiu did not refuse, as long as people came, please stay for dinner. Those who got the news hurriedly went back to tell the others, and some people who liked to take advantage of them quickly asked their mother-in-law to help.

These people think well, so many chickens, ducks, and fish, who to eat is not to eat. Besides, they didn't eat for nothing, so don't you want to help?

After a while, half of the people in the village came, some of them were thick-skinned and empty-handed, and some were embarrassed to bring some eggs or home-grown side dishes.

There are so many more people, the tables and chairs at home are not enough, and the men go back to their homes to carry a few, and the yard can't be placed, so they are placed on the alley outside. And the women were not idle, they joined the ranks of cooking together, and the children couldn't help much, so they gathered around to make trouble, and for a while the small courtyard of the Song family was as lively as a market, not to mention.

Suddenly there were so many people, and the vegetables that Song Jiu bought were not enough, but fortunately, some people brought eggs, their own side dishes or something, and it was almost the same.

Du Chun, the mother-in-law of Zhao Zhuang's family, was helping in the stove room, and when she saw the two figures sitting in the courtyard outside, she couldn't help but break a few sentences: "These people are just thick-skinned, and no one invited him, so he came to the door with his own mouth." ”

Evening Song listened and looked at Du Chun inexplicably.

"See, that old Liu is a big family." Du Chun pursed his lips, pointed to the two people sitting in the courtyard and said dislikely: "Other people don't say that they also carry some things in their hands, although they are not valuable, but in the end they also mean something." In his family, a large family came empty-handed and didn't say anything, and I didn't see the daughter-in-law and little sister come to help, sitting there chattering like a living bodhisattva, if I was me, I didn't have that face. ”

Du Chun is not a person with a small belly, but he really can't get used to the style of the Liu family.

Liu Fang just walked in, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Don't care what people mention, just to add joy, how can there be a reason to drive joy out." Although he said this to Du Chun, he also said it to the evening song next to him.

Du Chun also reacted and quickly shut up and lowered his head to work.

Wan Ge glanced thoughtfully at the two people who were chatting and rejoicing outside, retracted his gaze and began to chop the meat filling.

There is a lot of power in the people, and soon the kitchen began to smoke, and then a greedy fragrance wafted out from inside, which made people swallow saliva and look at the kitchen frequently.

The daughter-in-law of the old Liu family was not idle at this time, and got up to help set the dishes and chopsticks and serve the dishes. With the sound of the meal starting, everyone began to sit down.

The dishes on the table smell the fragrance, and the children who rarely eat meat can not bear to smell the smell of the meat, and they devour it as soon as it is served. The adults didn't rush too much because of their faces, but the speed of their start was no slower than others.

"Come, today is a good day for Brother Song, let's toast him next to each other."

Chen Kuiqi coaxed everyone to give Song Jiu a toast, and the posture was bound to get people drunk. Song Jiu did not refuse, he drank it as soon as he held it, and there was not a drop left in the bowl.

"Okay." Everyone clapped their hands, and the atmosphere was suddenly pushed to a climax.

It's just that when I'm drinking happily, something happens next to me. I saw that Du Chun and the daughter-in-law of the Liu family quarreled for some reason, and when they saw the new daughter-in-law pulling Du Chun, Song Jiu suddenly lost the mind to drink, and put down the wine bowl and walked over there.

Cursing in his heart that this old Liu family will really cause trouble, Chen Kui and a few people did not delay, and hurriedly got up and went over to take a look, but they didn't let their daughter-in-law suffer.

"Some people are thick-skinned and don't work empty-handed, they eat and bring reasonable, it's better to say that they are scoundrels than to splash skin, and now I can be regarded as knowledgeable." Du Chun sneered.

"Who is it to splash skin! See if I don't tear your stinky mouth. "Wang Guixiang is usually a scoundrel and doesn't suffer losses, how can he bear it when he hears Du Chun scolding people so ugly, and he has to do it when he scolds. Seeing this, the evening song hurriedly pulled the frame to persuade him.

Du Chun was okay, he was pulled by Wange and Liu Fang and kept silent. Only Wang Guixiang couldn't stand it, pointed at Du Chun and scolded, and scolded her for any ugly words, she didn't care if it was a wedding banquet or not, she couldn't stand it.

"What are you arguing about?" Song Yu walked over with a black face, and the people around him hurriedly made a way.

In fact, many people in the village are quite vain, not only because he looks a little fierce, but also because of the momentum of that body, just like the one who came out of the bandit's den, and it is not easy to mess with the lord at first glance.

Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was also a little panicked when she saw Song Jiu at this time, but she couldn't pull her face, so she could only carry it hard. When Liu Xiaomei saw it, she hurriedly played the round and said with a smile that it was all a misunderstanding, and it was a misunderstanding.

"My sister-in-law is just thinking about my mother, so I want to take some back. It's all small things, little things. ”

Wang Guixiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Alas, Song Jiu, I just think that today is your good life, and if you don't know from ordinary people, you can't just forget it so easily." After speaking, he glanced at Du Chun with his eyes, so angry that Du Chun almost couldn't hold back.

Liu Fang hurriedly grabbed Du Chun and whispered to reassure her and tell her not to be angry.

Song Yuli ignored Wang Guixiang, walked to the side of Wange with a stick, and asked her in a low voice what had just happened. Before Wange could speak, Du Chun was so angry that he crackled like pouring beans into a bamboo tube to explain the matter.

It turned out that as soon as the dish was served, Wang Guixiang took out a big bowl out of nowhere, saying that the old lady in the family was not in good health and could not come. Before everyone moved their chopsticks, she brushed a few times to sandwich all the large plates of meat and vegetables in the bowl, leaving only a few side dishes there.

Du Chun couldn't stand it and said a few words, Wang Guixiang was famous for being pungent and arrogant and unreasonable in the village. Hearing Du Chun say that she had paid it back, she immediately scolded back, asking her to be less nosy with a mouse and her words were ugly. Du Chun is also a fiery temper, and he didn't like Wang Guixiang, but he couldn't help being scolded at this time, and the two quarreled.

After saying that, Du Chun was also a little embarrassed, no matter what, today is a good day for others, but they quarreled at the wedding banquet.

Zhao Zhuang was also angry when he heard this, but he still pressed the fire and turned his head to apologize to Song Jiu: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you unhappy." ”

Song Jiu was unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that this matter was not all Du Chun's fault.

Song Jiu held his breath and said coldly: "Everyone can come over to eat and drink, I, Song Jiu, am very happy and very welcome." But ......." Song Jiu's eyebrows widened, and his cold gaze fell on Wang Guixiang: "If someone wants to make trouble here and add to the blockage, I will trouble you to roll as far as you want." The ground outside is so big, you can splash it, but don't mess with my yard again. Annoys me, even though you're all serving men, women, and children. ”

Clear-eyed people know who this is for, and the few ladies who stood next to Wang Guixiang and persuaded hurriedly retreated as if they had encountered some hot potato.

Wang Gui said with a smile: "Okay, you just see if my woman is easy to bully." Lao Liu, look at what these people are doing! Didn't I just want to go back with my mother with a stutter? Suddenly, Wang Guixiang sat on the ground and began to cry and wipe her tears, as if she was being bullied by someone.

Lao Liu was also dissatisfied with Song Jiu's words, and stood up from the crowd: "Song Jiu, what you said is a bit too much. Everyone is from the same village, isn't it just pretending to be something to eat. Since the host doesn't welcome us, this wedding banquet is not happy, it is better to go home and eat some green vegetables and porridge. Let's go, don't stay here and be accused and scolded. Saying that, Lao Liu took Wang Guixiang's hand and walked out, and when he left, Wang Guixiang did not forget to take away the bowl full of meat and vegetables.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaomeier didn't dare to stay, and silently withdrew from the crowd and slipped away.

"Is that good?" Evening Song asked in a low voice next to Song Jiu.

Although I don't like Wang Guixiang, isn't it not good to make it too ugly, after all, they are all from the same village.

"Whatever they do." Song Yu disdained, a group of cowards who bullied the soft and were afraid of the hard, and asked Wange not to worry so much.

Although there were some unpleasant things, there were no unpleasant people, and the dinner table returned to a harmonious appearance.

The guests dispersed that day, Du Chun and Liu Fang's sisters-in-law did not leave, and stayed to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Chen Kui and the others rested for a while, waiting for the dishes and chopsticks to be almost washed before getting up and starting to send back the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, bowls and so on.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the round moon has climbed up the branches at some point, exuding a soft but clear light.

By the time the work is completely done, it is already three o'clock, and there are still a lot of dishes left over from the banquet, and the two of them can't eat it, and the sky is not allowed to let it go for a long time. Thinking of the two sisters-in-law, Wan Ge simply left some Ming'er to eat, and handed the rest to them when they left, so that they would not dislike it.

Packing leftovers and taking them home to eat again is also a common thing in farmers' homes, Du Chun and the others did not refuse, took it with a smile and followed their own mouth back.
