Chapter 122: Preparing for the Banquet

Because of this, Aunt Liu attaches great importance to Liu Ting, and she always thinks that she can marry Liu Ting to a good family in the future, so that Liu Ting can live a good life.

Liu Ting also understands Aunt Liu's intentions, but the matter of getting married is really not something that can be solved with a clear sentence.

Liu Ting sighed secretly in her heart, hid the troubles between her eyebrows, and said to Aunt Liu with a smile on her face.

Aunt Liu listened to Liu Ting's words, raised her eyebrows, and said unhappily: "What are you talking about, what's not to worry about, your mother still lacks your care?" I have hands and feet, where do I need you to take care of me. You'd better get married as soon as possible and let me let go of this concern. If you don't marry again and become an old girl, the villagers will say that I delayed you in the future...... Can you bear to let your mother be talked about at that time? ”

"But, mother...... I don't want to marry casually......" Liu Ting took Aunt Liu's arm, put her head on Aunt Liu's shoulder, and muttered.

"Did my mother say that you should marry casually?" Aunt Liu tapped her head with chopsticks angrily, "Mother just let you meet that man, and if you don't succeed, you can't succeed, and your mother didn't force you to marry that man." ”

"I know, I'll do it, don't hit me on the head with your chopsticks, it's dirty!" Liu Ting covered the knocked part and said helplessly.

"The old lady doesn't dislike you, you actually dislike the old lady?"

"I don't dislike you, I dislike your chopsticks for eating!"

……

I don't know if it was because he was too tired and drunk, Zhao Kangcheng slept directly until the evening, Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli came back from school.

He opened his eyes, sat up, rubbed his forehead, which was still a little painful, looked around, and found that he didn't see Cai Xiaoxiao's figure, so he got out of bed and went downstairs, and then saw Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli sitting at the table in the living room, whispering excitedly, while writing the homework assigned by the school teacher.

The two heard Zhao Kangcheng going downstairs, looked up and saw Zhao Kangcheng, and happily waved at Zhao Kangcheng and shouted, "Big brother!" ”

"Why don't you go to the study and write?" Zhao Kangcheng asked.

Zhao Kangqiang replied: "You can feel the atmosphere better here!" ”

"The atmosphere? What atmosphere? Zhao Kangcheng walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked.

"The atmosphere of the new house." Zhao Xiaoli said.

"I don't know." Zhao Kangcheng said that he did not understand their thoughts.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Kangcheng glanced at the homework of the two, and then pointed out some mistakes in the homework of the two, and asked, "What about your sister-in-law?" ”

"My sister-in-law is preparing dinner with my mother in the kitchen." Zhao Xiaoli said.

Zhao Kangcheng originally wanted to go to Cai Xiaoxiao, but when he heard that she was with Zhao Wang's family, he thought about it, and finally decided to go to the study to read a book for a while, after all, it was not far from the day when the imperial examination began.

When he was about to fall asleep at night, Cai Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Zhao Kangcheng: "Do you remember what happened at noon?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng was leaning on the bedside reading a book, and when he heard Cai Xiaoxiao's question, he paused when he was about to turn the book, and then resumed his movements, and after turning a page, he said, "I don't remember." ”

"Oh? Really?" Cai Xiaoxiao had clearly caught his pause movements, squinted her eyes, and she hooked her lips, "Since you don't remember, forget it." So saying, he lay down, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Of course, Zhao Kangcheng would not admit that he remembered, he really didn't want to admit that the childish person at noon was him. Cai Xiaoxiao also saw it, she actually asked casually, and she didn't have to ask Zhao Kangcheng to answer

The next day it was not yet dawn. The five members of the Zhao family all got up early - because the teachers of the school were also invited, Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli had a holiday today.

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng first led the donkey cart to the old house to take out all the vegetables stored in the cellar and take them to the new house, Zhao Wangshi and Zhao Kangqiang, and Zhao Xiaoli stayed to take out all the dishes and chopsticks, and then carefully cleaned them.

In the process of cleaning, the three of them also roughly calculated the number of people who were going to come to the banquet and the number of dishes and chopsticks, and found that the dishes and chopsticks at home may not be enough, so Zhao Wang thought that when the day dawned, everyone in the village would get up and go to someone to borrow some dishes and chopsticks.

Who knew that before dawn, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan came over with a stack of chopsticks, and Zhao Wang, who was watching, was stunned and asked them: "Where did you get so many chopsticks?" She didn't think it was Zhang Mu and Li Yuan's, after all, they ate with him on weekdays, where did they need so many dishes and chopsticks.

"It's what we left behind." Zhang Mu explained, "Because I was reluctant to throw it away, and I couldn't use it at home, I accumulated a thick layer of ash. With that, the two put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground.

"It doesn't matter if you have a meeting, you can just wash it with water." Zhao Wang said.

"What about my brother and my sister-in-law?" Li Yuan couldn't see the figures of Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao, and asked.

"They're going to the old house." Zhao Kangqiang was the first to answer.

"Then let's go over and see if there's anything we need help with." Li Yuan said to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu nodded in agreement.

As a result, the two of them met Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao who came back halfway, and the two immediately waved their hands and shouted: "Brother Kangcheng!" Sister-in-law! ”

Cai Xiaoxiao was also stunned when she saw them, and said, "Why did you two get up so early?" It's not dawn yet, why don't you sleep a little longer? ”

"Hehe, I can't sleep and get up." Zhang Mu scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

It's a pity that Cai Xiaoxiao didn't believe his words, and at a glance, he knew that these two people must be thinking about coming to help, so they came over early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Cai Xiaoxiao said to the two of them very gratefully: "It's really sad to trouble you two to help every day." ”

Zhang Mu and Li Yuan hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Sister-in-law is serious, you and Brother Kang Cheng have also helped the two of us, so we should help." Sister-in-law, Brother Kangcheng, is there anything you need our help with? "Then it's time to change the subject.

"Really." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted you Brother Kangcheng to do it, but he still has to greet guests later, so it's inconvenient to go, so you two just came." ”

"What's the matter, sister-in-law, you just say it." Zhang Mu waved his hand and said.

"It's just that after I unload all the vegetables on this car, I hope you can drive this cart to Xiaocheng House to pick up Xiao Wu and the three of them, I'm worried that the three of them don't have a car, and they will be tired to death when they come back after such a long journey." The distance between the town and the village is quite long, and it takes about an hour to drive, let alone walk.
