Chapter 67: On the Wine Table
With three bottles of wine and 8 catties of good wine snatched by the master, Zhang Guoqing and his two mothers went to the hall together, and there were two tables in it.
The big table is made by Zhang Guoqiang, the second brother of the Zhang family, it is particularly large, and he just happened to meet the right wood that year to make this table, usually this table is used for the New Year's sacrifice, and it can sit down with 12 big men and loose.
During the Chinese New Year, there were no women and children in the Zhang family, and they still sat at separate tables, and they all used this big table to gather together as a family. The small point next to it is usually used for eating at home. The two tables were set up, and they didn't seem to be compact, and the two concubines and older children were already putting the dishes and chopsticks and serving the dishes.
Men sit at the big table and chat, women and children sit at the small table, the two tables are placed close together, it is convenient to turn the head and talk, and everyone is on the table without delay.
The two tables are full, and it is rare to see such a sumptuous in the Zhang family. I saw that there were sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed hazel mushrooms, ground three fresh, pot wrapped meat, dried tofu with sharp peppers, slippery meat segments, white meat and blood sausages, boiled fat intestines, Northeast stew, pork ribs stewed with oil and beans, and stir-fried roe deer meat.
The man's eyes lit up when he saw the wine in Zhang Guoqing's hand. On the big table, Grandpa Lin, Daddy Zhang, Boss Zhang, the second child, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Fei and three guards were made. plus Zhang Guoqing, there are not many people, quite loose. When the cork of his father's altar was removed, a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out to cover the aroma of meat and vegetables.
The table next to him smelled the aroma of wine, everyone sat down, Zhang Guoqing picked up the jar and poured it from the upper Lin Lao, and then poured Zhang's father according to his seniority, and came to the side to pour it for his mother and mother-in-law.
Grandpa Lin picked up the bowl, closed his eyes, sniffed the wine, and took a sip, "This wine is good, the real Northeast old man has a high fever, and it has been more than 20 years this year." ”
Dad Zhang also took a sip, "It's been 20 years, and I heard Xiao Wu say that someone else buried it 20 years ago." It's good that this wine is burned, and he still grabbed it from the master of the county hotel, but it's a pity that there aren't many. Now there is a shortage of food, and no one makes their own wine. ”
Grandpa Lin picked up the bowl and touched it at Daddy Zhang, "Let's do this bowl first, thank you very much for taking care of Jiaojiao over the years."
What about this child, she didn't grow up with us when she was a child, and she was also bitter, but now I see that your family is harmonious, and the relationship between the young husband and wife is good, and the stone in my heart has also fallen, so I can explain it to his father.
Old man Zhou is not kind, I have always been worried that he is confused, he said that Zhou Jiao and Xiao Wu I was hesitant at that time, and I didn't give him the news yet, he said that he had already married.
I was worried before I came, but fortunately this fool didn't do anything bad, and helped my Jiaojiao find a good mother-in-law and a good grandson-in-law, otherwise I really wouldn't have spared him. ”
Lin Lishan was dissatisfied when she heard this, "Dad, you don't know yet, it wasn't him who found it, it was Jiaojiao who found it herself, aren't you surprised why they got married so early, and Jiaojiao was in such a hurry to leave the Zhou family?"
I now know that Huang Zhaodi and Zhou Xue were calculating together and Jiaojiao wanted her to marry into her mother's Huang family, but Jiaojiao heard it. The child didn't dare to tell others, she was afraid that her grandfather would mean the same thing, and she was afraid that she would be calculated, so she didn't dare to sleep.
I was so worried that I didn't know what to do, just when Xiao Wu told her that he was not going to be a soldier anymore, he wanted to accompany her, and she was moved to cry, and she didn't dare to tell Xiao Wu, for fear that he would not be able to bear the temperament and have an accident, so she told her grandmother that she wanted to marry Xiao Wu, and if she didn't agree, she would go to Beijing to find her grandfather.
She understands that his grandfather won't let her go to you, and if she wasn't at the Zhou family, we wouldn't send money over. As a result, his grandfather really agreed, and ignored her until he got married. She didn't dare to fall asleep until she left the Zhou family, for fear that something would happen. ”
Grandpa Lin was very angry, "It's all the opposite, even Lao Tzu's granddaughter dares to calculate like this, this time I must not spare them." Regardless of whether his grandfather knew about it or not, he was not afraid of that fool if they were so arrogant.
That old immortal fool. Maybe he knows this, what kind of people are we delicate, then he doesn't know it. I'm just strange, these two children have such good grades, there is no reason not to go to high school and get married in a hurry. Wait for his dad to come out and tell him and let him weigh it himself. ”
Dad Zhang listened and glanced at Zhang Guoqing, it seemed that he really didn't know, "Uncle Lin, don't be angry, it's not worth it." This marriage has long been destined, the two of them have been holding hands since childhood, that relationship is good, everyone in these ten miles and eight towns knows it, even if they calculate, they don't dare to do it in name.
Besides, it's better to get rid of the old Zhou family as soon as possible, and their family will have a delicate father, and no one else can afford it. Four generations in a room, doing nothing. I don't know what Old Man Zhou thinks. You said that we are all in the countryside, who doesn't work hard in the fields, isn't raising children in such a way?
Well, don't talk about them. Come, let's drink, you drink less, eat more, and leave some wine for us. ”
Old Man Lin also calmed down, he just remembered those things, "Come, let's drink and eat food and don't talk about those bad things." It's rare to drink with Lao Zhang, how much do you drink
? Let me tell you, back then, every time there was a big war, we would drink a bowl of wine and sleep first, and that would be happy. Now I can't find anyone who wants to drink happily, so those people take a sip with their mouths when they drink, and when they want to drink that bowl, they are not interested in drinking slowly. If you drink wine, you should have a big bowl of wine and a big bite of meat. ”
"Yes, yes, then my father will take me to relatives for the New Year, the wine is so big, all of them are old and high, everyone gets together, and after a while, the wine in the big jar is drunk, and then shouts to come to the altar again, it is not enough to drink, just a large piece of steamed meat, and peanuts, that taste, it is still fragrant." Dad Zhang sighed.
"Xiao Wu, fill it up for your father, and I'll fill it up here. We're starting to finish it now, and then we'll drink the wine I brought, it's not bad, I've brought two boxes, and I'll mail you when you're done. When I go back and have time to go to the capital, the roast duck in the capital is good, and the white-cut mutton is also suitable for the current drink, and we will continue to drink it then. ”
"Okay, why do I have to go to the capital to see it in my life, and I also go to Tiananmen Square to see it. It's worth it in this life. When the time comes, we will serve you roast duck and drink wine. Hey hey"
Here, Lin Lishan is also persuading Zhang's mother to go to the capital when she has time, "Eldest sister, when Xiaowu and Jiaojiao go to the capital to see her grandmother, you will also go, and then I will take you around Beijing, you and your eldest brother don't even have to go to the guest house, your Jiaojiao has a house, it's like going home." ”
Zhang's mother said happily: "I don't feel at ease when I leave outside the house, and when I turn back to Xiaowu, they will step on the road, and we will follow to see Beijing City."
Lin Lishan looked at the children and restrained, "Are you afraid of grandma, you hurry up and eat, eat while it's hot, and eat in your aunt's house, where there is sugar." ”
Xizi is 10 years old, politely said thank you, the children gulped down, Mai Miao said while eating: "Brother, hurry up, there is sugar in the little aunt's house, she said yesterday to keep it for you, but it's too much."
And Xiao Ping'an, you haven't seen it, it's much cleaner than the lotus brother in the village, and she always says that her brother is clean, and I can't compare to our peace.
My aunt also let us drink the peanuts and rice, which is delicious. She couldn't understand when I clinked glasses with the ears of wheat, and it wasn't fun at all. My aunt is the best, she won't talk about me, and let us go to her to play when we have time,"
The stone shouted: "We all saw Xiao Ping'an, and we didn't cry when we woke up, but we were obedient." It's just too young to take him out to play. ”
Listening to the children's children's words, the adults are laughing and watching.
