Chapter 231: Zhou's Wine (2)
Ziqing helped set the table, and didn't go in to see the excitement of Tian and Chunyu, so she found a corner and sat down with Ziyu, during which a few unknown women came over to talk and asked some strange questions, such as what the men in Ziqing's family do, how many acres of paddy fields Ziqing's family has, Ziqing's clothes, and Ziqing's indiscriminate coping with a few sentences [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 231].
At the beginning of the banquet, after a hasty meal, Ziqing took Ziyu home, saying that the child was waiting to be fed, and the Zhou family was not good at forcing them to stay [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 231].
"Sister, what the hell are you eating, it's not as good as the food we cook at home, so let's come over early in the morning to help." I found that when Grandma didn't have harmony when she talked to us, why did we have to do it if everyone didn't do anything, even Sister Ping didn't do it herself, why? Auntie, they are too much, grandma never says that they are wrong, every time we are wrong, we never ask for less things, who is it? Ziyu got angry when she remembered what happened just now.
"What's this, your father and mother are good to you, and your brothers and sisters are good to you, how can everyone like you? You are not silver. ”
"What does it have to do with silver when everyone likes me?"
"Stupid, is there anyone who doesn't like silver?"
"Sister, what you said is quite reasonable, except for monks and nuns, I really can't find anyone who doesn't like silver."
"Who said that monks and nuns don't like silver, so what do they go out for? Also, what do you do with the incense money of the pilgrims? What do they eat without silver? How to repair the temple? Lin Kangping replied when he heard Ziyu's words when he entered the door.
"Brother-in-law, you didn't see it just now, my grandma and aunt bullied my sister, and they all asked my sister for this and that, looking at their greedy faces, they wanted to eat my sister. The most ridiculous thing is my aunt, who said that Sanmao is going to get married, and she wants this and that. Ziyu pouted and said.
Ziqing nodded her forehead and said, "Why don't you go back and see grandma." I don't know if my grandmother has eaten well. ”
"Dad came back with me, but I was afraid that I didn't eat well, saying that it was a pity that the big live fish was actually fried with fish wrapped in flour. I don't know if it's fish or flour in my mouth, but it's out of the way, and I don't know what to do with the rest of the fish. Let's make something delicious in the evening. I'm tired all morning, take a shower and cool off, I'm going to sleep. Lin Kangping said.
"What can you do? Maybe it's sold again, or it's just saved for another meal when you move next time. Didn't you hear another meal? Ziqing said.
"No more invitations, don't give gifts, what's the picture? Just our family and your three aunts, how much can we give? By the way, Sanmao is married? ”
"Who knows? I haven't heard of it, horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with us. Ziqing looked down at the child, not noticing Lin Kangping's thoughtful expression.
Two days later, Zilu's family and Zishou came back, and Ziqing picked up the wind in Qingyuan. Zilu asked about Zeng Ruiqing's new house.
"Shangliang wine only did it the day before yesterday, but fortunately you weren't at home, otherwise. It's all good labor, you didn't call me and Kangping, you didn't even let Ziyu go, and actually asked me and Ziyu to wash the dishes with a big basin, and later I was awkward with my grandmother. Ziqing said.
"You kid too, you have to make your grandma ugly in front of outsiders, in the future, on this occasion, you just go away, don't have a hard time with her. It's not good for your reputation either. After all, there are too many outsiders. Zeng Ruixiang said.
"Daddy, my aunt is not willing to spend money, why do you have to invite a housewarming meal? Haven't we already given gifts? Ziqing asked, deliberately ignoring Zeng Ruixiang's words.
"Housewarming depends on personal intentions, generally to send some congratulatory gifts, this is not invited to the whole village. Only invite good relatives and friends or your own family. We should also have something to prepare. Zeng Ruixiang said.
"No wonder, I said that with their unprofitable personalities, why do they have to invite us to congratulate the housewarming?" Lin Kangping said.
Zilu listened and asked to understand, they have been separated, and they also need to prepare a single gift, Zishou said with a smile: "Second brother, why don't you go and buy a set of tea sets, isn't there a Yonghe kiln next to our county school?" It doesn't take much to be good, there is a hundred and ten wen and it will be dismissed. Dad buys a set of dishes, and the eldest sister buys two vases, and it doesn't cost half a penny. ”
"It's a lot of half-hanging, and I don't want to send anything? If I could not go, I would rather sleep at home. Ziqing said.
"Then let's just send nothing, didn't you listen to Dad? Generally, we want to send some congratulatory gifts, but we are not in this general, and we have not spent less money. Lin Kangping said.
When Ziqing heard this, seeing that Zeng Ruixiang did not object, he hurriedly asked Zilu's opinion, Zilu smiled and said: "I am naturally one with you, brother and sister work together, if you don't send it, you won't send it, I want to see if the eldest mother can still give us out?" ”
"It's okay to get rid of it, but I can't eat enough." Ziyu said with a smile.
Ziqing saw that Chen didn't eat much on the side, and the child was also being fed by Xiaoju, and asked, "Second sister-in-law, isn't the thing right for your appetite?" ”
Chen Shi blushed a little when he heard this, and Zilu said with a smile: "Your second sister-in-law is a little uncomfortable these days and can't eat." ”
Ziqing saw Zilu's expression, both happy and worried, and understood, Chen's this is another child, and he hurriedly said "congratulations", He was happy when he heard it, and the most popular thing for people in their twilight years was to look at their descendant Tian Ding, and they were busy asking Chen what he wanted to eat, just say it, around Chen's pregnancy, everyone forgot about the unhappiness brought by Zhou's side.
On June 15, Zhou also came over to say hello, especially to Zilu and Chen: "Tomorrow is the day when the eldest mother moves into the new house, you must come over early, we have a meal together as a family, and you haven't caught up with Shangliang wine, so you will make up for it tomorrow." ”
Ziyu pouted secretly when she heard this, and muttered after Zhou left, "It's not that you want us to do things earlier, second brother and sister-in-law, don't be fooled." I want to see, tomorrow I see us empty-handed, the look of the eldest lady. ”
The next day, Zeng Ruixiang said that he would take Lin Kangping and Zilu Zishou to help, but it was also a move, and the neighbors were watching. But in the middle of summer, no one wants to go out.
At eleven o'clock, Zhou sent Ziping to ask Ziqing to go over to eat, Ziqing really didn't like to go out, and looked at the big sun outside on the chaise longue, but she didn't want to move, He patted her and said: "Don't hurry up and change your clothes, the bigger you are, the more ignorant you are, who doesn't know how comfortable at home is?" Your second sister-in-law and Ziyu are waiting for you, do you think they want to go? ”
After Zilu left. The Chen family and Ziyu both came to Ziqing's side, and everyone talked and chatted in the Luohan bed, saying that Ziqing's side was still cooler, and it was convenient to get something to eat [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 231, Zhou's Wine (2) Chapter].
"Then don't go. There is nothing to eat in the horizontal and vertical, it is estimated that when we go empty-handed, the aunt still doesn't know what to say? Doesn't this happen to save her food, she won't leave the leftovers from last time this time, Kang Ping said that she had a lot less fish last time, and if you want to have that fried fish for a while, don't eat it, eat it carefully. Ziqing replied.
"Then let's not go. Hengzhu's family has already sent a representative, I don't want to go anywhere here, your aunt, can't you really give us some leftovers or something? Chen also stretched and said.
"What are you chewing on? It's summer, and it's been seven or eight days, and maggots haven't grown early. Hurry up and clean up, less nonsense, the family is waiting. If you go late, be careful that your grandma scolds you, and you are not happy. He patted Chen.
"What's the hurry, you have to do things if you go early. It's ridiculous grandma and auntie, they can't move others. I am also reluctant to call others, I actually asked me to wash the dishes, grandma also said that she wanted to be a young lady to go home to do, my family Kangping said that persimmons can not always pick up soft pinch, pull me to go home, my aunt is anxious. Ziqing said with a smile.
"It's not too early, it's almost time for you to go there for dinner, good boy, listen to grandma's advice."
Ziqing saw that He was really anxious, so she had to take care of herself a little. Still dressed in old cotton clothes, he came out.
There are a lot of people working this time, and the bits and pieces of things Zhou's have moved almost a little bit by themselves, and when Ziqing and the others passed, they had already set up the table and were ready to eat, and Ziqing saw that there was a total of his own family and the old man Tian's. There are no outsiders. Xia Yu wanted the summer harvest at home, and after eating Shangliang Jiu Ziqing that day, she asked Lin An to send it back, but Qiu Yu's family was still there.
Zhou stepped forward to greet Ziqing with a smile, his eyes swept away, several hands were empty, he couldn't hide it in his eyes, and he was a little suspicious, and then he thought about it, is it a red envelope if it is not a gift? This Ziqing's red envelope must not be missing, how can you wrap a piece of silver, the Chen family cannot be less than Ziqing, Zhou said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhou smiled again, and became more and more enthusiastic to let Ziqing sit down, diligently prepared tea, and looked at Ziqing Ziqing and Chen eagerly, the tea was also drunk, but there was still no movement, Zhou was a little breathless, and specially pointed to a pair of small vases in the hall and said: "This is sent by your sister-in-law, we also said, a move, everyone has a meal together, she still has to say anything about the joy of housewarming, can't be empty-handed, where do these exquisite?" ”
Ziqing glanced at the pair of vases, the fetal quality was too rough, the color was blurred, and it was estimated that it cost dozens of dollars to buy it, so she said to Zhou with a smile: "No, it's still the eldest mother who said right, originally my second sister-in-law also said that she wanted to buy some congratulatory gifts, I said, it's the eldest father and aunt who want to invite their family to have a meal, I didn't catch up last time, this time I make up for it, what kind of gift do I need to give." What about me, let's have a good time, my things, it's not less than the aunt, the aunt has already said that I don't have to send it, isn't it, auntie? ”
When Zhou Shi heard this, the smile on his face didn't have time to be contained, his mouth was half open, his eyes were staring at Ziqing, and he didn't seem to believe what she heard. Chen and Ziyu pursed their lips and snickered on the side.
When Zhou Shi understood, he said with a dark face: "You guys go to the table and prepare for dinner, I'll go to the stove room to get busy." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Ziqing just went out in Zhou's, couldn't help bending down and laughing, Zhou's feet stumbled outside the door, and he tripped over the small wooden barrel of chicken food on the ground, kicked hard, the barrel rolled several times, and smashed the cat lying on the ground, the cat was angry, jumped and jumped, knocked over several porcelain bowls on the windowsill, and drove the chickens in the yard to fly, Zhou's was distressed and angry, and the partial foot was also kicked painfully, the barrel was fixed with the wire, one end of the wire was exposed, and the partial Zhou kicked on the wire, jumping on one leg, One hand covered his foot, and he screamed, "Ouch, ouch".
Ziping and Zeng Ruiqing both ran to Zhou's side and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"My sister-in-law practices chain legs, and I haven't seen chickens flying and cats jumping all over the yard." Qiu Yu said with a smile, seeing Zhou's deflated, he was really in a good mood.
"Oops, why is there still blood? Why don't you sit down and have a good day? Ziquan, there are herbs to stop bleeding on the windowsill of the house, mash them and put them on your mother. Zeng Ruiqing commanded with a dark face.
"People who are dozens of years old, how can they not look good when they walk?" Tian said without yin or yang.
Ziqing even laughed in the room, and it took a long time to hold back the laughter. When Ziqing was on the table, there was really a fried fish on the table, it was salty, Qiu Yu asked, it turned out that the fish left over from last time was pickled, dried and fried, and finally it was left.
"Sister-in-law, on this hot day, you really dare to get some leftovers for us to eat, if you are reluctant to give up the money, there are small vegetables in the field, and it is better than eating this." Qiu Yu said, she had a stomach for Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou's opinions, so it was easy to seize an opportunity, and Qiu Yu didn't squeeze them a few words?
"You are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and some of them are good to eat, but I want to see, what good things can you take out for everyone to eat when you build a house and make wine?" Zhou said while pulling vegetables into the bowl, Zhou had already held back the fire in his stomach because of what had just happened.
Ziqing saw that there was really nothing to eat, and she didn't bother to listen to them talk about this, and she always said these words over and over again. He sent a few mouthfuls of rice with water spinach, saying that he was going home to feed the child, and Chen also said that he had not gone home for so long, and he had to clean up well, and Qiuyu wanted to go back to prepare to cut rice, so everyone quickly said goodbye and went home.
Ziqing went out of the gate and heard Zhou's complaining: "I didn't spend a penny, and I still picked and choose." There are so many good dishes, or meat dishes, I don't even use chopsticks much, and I don't know what they eat all day long. ”
Ziqing snickered when she heard it, and when she got home, Ziqing lay down on the couch and said, "Today's things are so cool." "It turns out that it is such a pleasant thing to make others deflated, no wonder they all fall in love with the door to take advantage.
"But no, in the future, if any of them have something to do, it's okay to give some money, but it's absolutely not okay to be angry." Lin Kangping said.
"What's out, not even the silver, a few copper plates to send them away, who let them calculate us one by one?" Ziqing said while breastfeeding the child.
Lin Kangping saw that Ziqing coaxed his son, hugged Ziqing and said, "Qing'er has worked hard, this smile should be enough, I'll wait for you to bathe." Your second sister-in-law has it again, and we should add another sister to our son. (To be continued)
