Chapter 293: Fire and Wine

Although the thing of feelings, to a certain extent, is indeed contrary to reason, and Manye's "woman's dizziness theory" does have a certain truth, but its essence is still ridiculing and laughing, and it can't be taken seriously, so he scratches his head and laughs, and the elders joke casually, anyway, it's all good-natured teasing, it's not a big deal.

However, for the elders of this kind of thing, the attraction of such a thing as the marriage of children is the same as the relationship between bees and nectar, or between fishermen and fish, and it is just that they never hear the sound of water. Especially when I heard Zhang Xiaowei, I originally planned to come back with me for the New Year, in order to have a companion with Sister Yun at that time, so I stayed in the provincial capital for a few days, and my uncles and aunts were even more reluctant to come by me, and agreed that since she already wanted to come to the house for the New Year, she must have moved the idea of following me, and really treated her as an ordinary guest, and if she didn't ask about our affairs, she would lose her manners, and I was sorry for the sincerity of the girl, and the tone sounded like if I didn't listen to them. will become a scumbag and a negative man.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, one mouth is difficult to argue, in the end I really can't say them, I had to agree, and when Zhang Xiaowei arrives, let the aunts and uncles help to explore her tone, if she intends to marry me, just take advantage of the New Year, everyone is free, the parents of both sides make an appointment to meet, not to say that they will get married immediately, at least the marriage will be engaged first, so that the parents of both sides can rest assured, if she hesitates and is difficult to speak, she will not interfere for the time being, let's talk about it for a while, it sounds quite like that, It made my mother smile for a while.

It can be seen that my mother really likes Zhang Xiaowei, maybe after hearing that there is such a person, after seeing Zhang Xiaowei's photos, she has already regarded her as a daughter-in-law in the depths of her consciousness, otherwise it is unlikely that when she was fascinated by the puppet, she "dreamed" that I married Zhang Xiaowei and gave birth to a "beautiful daughter".

In other words, as long as I like it, my mother will like it.

Dude, this is talking about lifelong events, this is going to get married?

With a fairly clear attitude, listening to the satisfied elders, sipping melon seeds around the charcoal fire in the yard, and talking about the follow-up matters that Zhang Xiaowei and I decided to settle down with great interest, I couldn't help but feel like a dream. I don't know where they heard it, Zhang Xiaowei originally wanted to come back with me for the New Year, I remember I didn't say it, and yesterday through the video, when I met my family, Zhang Xiaowei shouldn't have said such things.

The little woman came to the house in two days, and in the face of this gossip, whether she would be frightened, whether she would be really dizzy, anyway, I think it would make me a little dizzy by them.

Maybe it's apprehensive, or excited, or suddenly like a dream, or everything, and after the elders made enough jokes about me, they went upstairs and retracted into the room, and chatted with the little woman in the provincial capital for a while, and the sentence "Are you willing to marry me?" that was typed and deleted several times, "Are you willing to marry me?" In the end, I still didn't dare to send it out.

On the second day of the new year, the sky was clear, and the snow began to melt on the 30th day of the sunny day, which was already clearly warm and warm on the body.

Watching the snow on the road melt little by little, and cars began to run, my mother, who was obviously impatient, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruixue Zhaofeng is a good year, but she has always been a little worried that the snow on the road will not melt, which will delay her time to see her future daughter-in-law and godgranddaughter. Aside from Zhang Xiaowei, just Sister Yun brought Xiao Li Nuo back to recognize the New Year, my mother took it very seriously, and took it very seriously, before I came back, I prepared a gift for Xiao Li Nuo, and the gifts they wanted to give themselves have all been prepared, and I specially asked Sister Yun Zhang Xiaowei what they like to eat, all of them were bought back in advance and stuffed in the refrigerator, for fear that they would not be able to cook those dishes that they don't eat often, or even haven't eaten, and they also learned to make them a few times in private, and they have begun to prepare today.

After two days, the old man spent most of his time chatting with the two grandfathers, drinking during meals, drinking tea in the rest of the time, and sleeping in the same bed with his grandfather at night, unwilling to sleep in the room prepared for him, saying that the two old men had little sleep, so that they could talk and be warmer. Originally, my grandfather still had gauze wrapped around his head, so he couldn't drink alcohol or tea, but at this time, he had to accompany my master, and no one dared to say that he couldn't, but he only dared to suggest drinking less. Fortunately, the old man and the man knew about his grandfather's situation, so while persuading him to drink less, he also controlled the amount very low, and it seemed that there were teacups on the stove all day long, and there was wine all the time, but in fact he drank very little.

As for Yuan Jinzhu, because the glory of the king is the king, he is also a good hand at eating chicken, whether he drinks or plays cards, he actively participates, he is more "bold", he has bad luck and loses money, and he is more funny and other reasons, he has been completely familiar with several brothers and sisters, and even several times I have seen that he and a few people on the village are just the same surname, and I am not familiar with the distant cousins who hook up their shoulders and swear each other, and they can integrate into the "big family" more than me, and I often secretly sigh in amazement.

can be mixed so well in just two days, and he can really be regarded as the No. 1 human spirit, why didn't he find out that this guy was so good before? Say that you don't like to be lively, sorry?

On the third day of the first month, the sky is still clear, the snow on the road has basically completely melted, and it has no obvious impact on the driving, and everything on the earth begins to emerge from the snow, and the overall dark brown tone is in sharp contrast with the white snow that has not yet melted, and the world has become a little darker.

Early in the morning, my mother and the others began to get busy, and they also changed into new clothes, wearing the woolen sweater that Sister Yun and Zhang Xiaowei selected for her when they came back for the first time. Sister Yun's side has already left soon after dawn, and it is not only Sister Yun Zhang Xiaowei who came, in addition to the elders, the brothers and sisters who were able to pull away came better, and there was also a girlfriend who played better, two SUVs, and a sedan were full, plus there were many people in the family, and Pan Changhong, the old village chief's branch secretary, was said to be lively, so he still had to be busy today, just a stove could not be busy, and he had to set up two pots in the yard.

After doing some things, having breakfast, and so on close to noon, I got into my father's car and rushed to the county seat, still able to speak, and there is no obvious generation gap with the juniors.

When I came to the county seat, I looked for a place that was not closed for the New Year, bought some things that I needed temporarily, and drove to the outside of the highway station and waited for more than half an hour, and then I saw Sister Yun's black Range Rover slowly coming out of the toll booth, followed by an Audi A6 and a Cayenne.

Listening to me say that it is Sister Yun who is coming out now, my dad couldn't help but smile and touch his head, looked back at his BYD, and muttered, "This gap is a bit big."

As soon as we got out of the toll station, Sister Yun, who was walking in the front, saw us, and after pulling over in front of us, she got off the car from the back row with Xiao Li Nuo in her arms, and Zhang Xiaowei got off at the same time, and Sister Yun's best friend who played better and was also single, and a cousin I had seen at Li Nuo's full moon banquet, but was not impressed, and it was her cousin Zhou Ming, who was in his forties, who was driving.

The next two cars got down, and they were basically the same cousins who had seen it but were not impressed, mainly young people who had not yet started a family, and there were two half-grown children who looked like high school students, a man and a woman. The oldest is Sister Yun's forty-nine-year-old Uncle Zhou Hengfeng, and this trip was led by him and Zhou Ming, who knew the most.

Holding Xiao Li Nuo and calling his godfather, Zhang Xiaowei also called Uncle Hello, and called me Manye, briefly introduced the person, and after the initial acquaintance, he got into the car again and began to rush home. Since Sister Yun Zhang Xiaowei wanted to take our car, her best friend Tang Shiying and her cousin Zhou Yao, who was about the same age as me, also simply followed, and they happened to be full, so Sister Yun's car was empty all of a sudden, and in the end, only her uncle Zhou Hengfeng sat alone, and accompanied Zhou Ming, who was driving, to relieve his boredom.

Sister Yun is used to seeing all kinds of occasions, and she is no longer unfamiliar with my father, and she has made enough preparations, so she is still relatively calm, but Zhang Xiaowei, who has a more special identity, is not so relaxed, after getting into the car and sitting down in the last row, she quietly grabbed one of my hands, looking quite nervous. Fortunately, this is with a large army, and if you come back with us that day, I don't know how nervous you will be.

But after thinking about it, if I had come back directly that day and didn't have to meet too many people at once, wouldn't the psychological pressure be less?

Thinking of the women in the family, who were sharpening their knives like hungry wolves at this time, waiting for this little lamb to be sent to the door, I couldn't help but smile, and then held the little sheep's hand, and whispered to her: Don't be nervous, there's nothing to be afraid of, Lijiazhai is not a bandit den, and it won't eat you.

I don't know what's going on, the little sheep's psychological pressure seems to be really great, and he really feels very nervous about all kinds of people he is about to meet, seeing that I am still in the mood to joke at this time, and dare to make such an intimate move in front of the elders, I can't help but glance at me, and pull out a hand to carry it on my thigh, but I didn't really use force.

I didn't tell Zhang Xiaowei about the aunts and uncles at home, who wanted to seize this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and make our affairs clear, firstly, because she lacked courage and dared not ask, and secondly, I also wanted to know what kind of reaction she would have after hearing those words.

An hour later, a small convoy of four cars drove into Lijiazhai and stopped outside the courtyard wall of my house. Because this is an official door-to-door confession, Sister Yun is also very serious about this relationship, so it is very grand, although there should be etiquette, Li Nuo has already passed when he was full moon, and he did not despise it because of this, and even because he failed to come to the door in time, but it was more grand, with some ingredients that compensated my family and compensated the ancestors who had been ancient, and the offerings of meat and vegetables, sugar, fruits, tobacco and wine, red silk incense and candles were readily available, and everyone in my family prepared a meeting gift.

It took nearly an hour to complete the whole ceremony, firing cannons, entering the house, placing offerings, burning incense, candles, and paper money to worship the ancestors, and meeting the family members one by one. Although before the arrival, the aunts, uncles and sisters-in-law at home had been sharpening their knives and looking forward to it, but as people really arrived, in order to take care of Zhang Xiaowei's feelings, they didn't leave a bad impression on her, and they didn't really joke about her casually, but at the end of the ceremony, Li Sheng and they came around to joke about his sister-in-law, and when Zhang Xiaowei was a little red-faced, they waved their hands and drove away the younger brothers and sisters who were coaxing.

In the following time, Sister Yun Zhang Xiaowei naturally stayed with the women most of the time. After lunch, when the main banquet was about to open in the afternoon, Li Hui and Li Sheng brought a big rooster from my grandfather's house, cleaned up after killing seven feet and eight hands, and stewed it in a small stove.

Of course, this chicken is actually a bit famous, in our area called "fire wine", is a custom when young people take their daughter-in-law home for the first time, in order to show the importance of the woman, the man's family to kill the chicken reception, the same generation of young people will also come to eat and drink lively.

Therefore, Li Hui and the others specially got this chicken, in fact, it was mainly to entertain Zhang Xiaowei, and they generally ate "fire and wine", and the matter of the two of them was basically decided.

After such a period of buffering, Zhang Xiaowei has adapted a lot, not as restrained as when she first arrived, and the people in my family can roughly tell who is who, and I don't know if those uncles and sisters-in-law have said anything to her, and what has been said, in short, Sister Yun looks at us, especially when she looks at me, there is always a touch of playfulness in her smile, and although Zhang Xiaowei is no longer nervous, she is also quieter than usual, and when she looks at me, there is indescribable tenderness in her eyes.

Sister Yun came to a total of sixteen people, originally my parents have arranged, some to my grandfather's house, and my cousin Li Qingping's house behind the leaning back of my house to sleep, but when it comes to sleeping at night, no one wants to go, fortunately, the second floor of my house is quite wide, when the house was built, my father divided the second floor into a large and a small two suites, in case I and my brother get married in the future. It's barely arranged.

On the fourth day of junior high school, after breakfast, the family who accompanied Sister Yun to recognize the door, and her best friend Tang Shiying, set off back to the provincial capital, while she and Zhang Xiaowei took Xiao Li Nuo to stay, and after fifteen, they all returned to the provincial capital together.
