Chapter 254: Warm House (2)
According to custom, yesterday Zhang Chunming and his father, Accountant Zhang, went to the county seat and stayed in his new home for a night, just to add blessings to the new courtyard for a few days.
In the early hours of the morning, Accountant Zhang asked his daughter-in-law Zhang Meili to pay homage. After secretly completing all the worships, the sky was already bright, and he hurriedly took Zhang Chunming to paste the red couplet at the gate, and Accountant Zhang took Zhang Chunming back to the tube building.
In the tube building, Zhang Chunming's second-floor room was crowded with people. On the first floor, I pulled up the tent yesterday and borrowed a stool for the guests to come and sit. Many late relatives and friends just stayed downstairs. Everyone is usually too busy, so take advantage of the fact that today we all get together to cheer up and talk. Accountant Zhang looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and greeted relatives and friends back and forth with his hands behind his back. Every now and then I look at the road in front of the door.
Looking at Dad Zhang driving the ox cart from a distance, Accountant Zhang smiled on his face, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to greet him.
"My family, I can be regarded as looking forward to you. Quick, get out of the car first, the ox cart is tied directly to the side. Let's sit down in the tent first, and we'll be ready to leave in a moment. ”
Dad Zhang got out of the car and said happily: "I came here early in the morning." It's a great event for the kids. Brother, do you see anything to send? Find my three boys. ”
"Xiao Wu came over to help yesterday afternoon. I'm sure I'm looking for you if there's something, and our brothers are still polite? Accountant Zhang stepped forward to help tie the cow rope and pulled Dad Zhang inside.
Zhang's mother took the women and children in the family to carry the package, and planned to go upstairs to find her nephew to change clothes first. Since the child's aunt has done it for them, let them be happy.
Zhang Guoqing's three brothers each put the warm house ceremony on the table under the canopy, and the three brothers went back and forth twice and finally finished moving. This table full of maiden gifts shocked the relatives and friends who came.
There are many people in the village around, and it just so happens that today is Sunday, and people who don't go to work in the tube building come and go, and they all know the three brothers Zhang Guoqing. After a while, the three brothers were all pulled by someone to pull the family routine.
Xizi and the others had already been playing with the children downstairs, and Zhang's mother gave a few words. Grabbed Ziwen and the three brothers and went back upstairs, but saw that it was crowded with people. The people in the house saw Zhang Meili's mother's house coming, and everyone left under the pretext.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Chunming's mother said hello, but they didn't have time to say a few words, so they hurriedly changed their grandson's clothes with their daughter-in-law. After changing, he hurriedly drove away the shouting grandson, and then looked at the new clothes that Yaya had changed into Zhou Jiao's new clothes, and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhang Meimei's eyes widened and she complained: "Mother, Jiaojiao has already made it for Yaya, why are you still preparing three children?" How good it is for Kiko to dress them. ”
Lin Juhua laughed, "Eldest sister, don't ask your mother, your mother only found out in the morning." All the children in the family have it. Xiao Wu said that no one could be missing. What do you see we need to help with? Let's talk about it. ”
Zhang Meili hurriedly shook her head and pointed at her mother-in-law with a smile, "You accompany my mother-in-law, I'm fine here, just wait for the time to come, my father-in-law will call us and we can go." ”
Zhang Chunming's mother took Zhang's mother's hand and asked her to sit down, muttering in her mouth, "In-laws, don't let Xiao Wu break the bank in the future." Yesterday he had been pulling a lot of stuff into the house, and it would be clothes again, you remember. ”
Mother Zhang patted her hand with a smile, "My little five is for his sister." His sister took it. They are all sisters and brothers, what else do you want to be polite? This time, you have to live in the beautiful place, so that she can do her duty as a daughter-in-law. "Mother Zhang doesn't know what her little five have bought now, and she is still stable.
"My daughter-in-law is good, very filial. I really envy you, look at the daughters-in-law around you who are capable and filial. What about the son, let alone that. You're a blessing. ”
"We are all blessed, and this day is getting better and better. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can wander around the city for a few days, accompany the children, and when you are bored, go back to the village to live for a few days. When the time comes, our two parents will go together. ”
Zhang Meili pulled her two younger daughters-in-law outside and said softly: "Xiao Wu and Jiaojiao won't be moths, right?" I'm too busy. I didn't have time to run to their house, so I was worried about these two people. ”
Huang Cuilan winked at Lin Juhua, and Lin Juhua smiled knowingly, "Sister, no." Just a little gift. You can rest assured. I'll talk about it when I'm done. You'll have everything you need to prepare for the meeting, right? ”
Zhang Meili breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, "It's very troublesome." If only I had followed my mind, I could have just moved in it. A lot I wasn't prepared for. will be used. Wait until the child is older. After speaking, he pointed to the concubine downstairs who was surrounded by melon seeds.
Lin Juhua covered her mouth and smiled, and when she saw Zhang Meili behind Zhang Meili come up and open her mouth to say something, she quickly shook her head. She knew what Mei wanted to say at a glance, and her finger kept pointing at the outside canopy. She and her sister-in-law are worried about her aunt's bullish temper. I have to wait until I start moving, so I have to ask for it if I want it or not. The two daughters of the Zhang family were devoted to their brothers, and they had nothing to make up for their mother's family in those years. When Zhang Guoqiang came, he specially instructed her to make her eldest sister happy today, and the three brothers of her mother's family supported her.
Downstairs, Accountant Zhang shouted that the auspicious time had arrived, so everyone could prepare. Seeing Zhang Chunming waving upstairs, Zhang Meili hurriedly ran to the back room and pulled her mother-in-law and her mother, "Quick, you have to go, you two go downstairs first." Sister-in-law, you help them go down first. I still have to carry the kettle to my new home. ”
Everyone hurriedly went downstairs, and when they arrived on the first floor, all the people, holding things in their hands, were waiting for Zhang Chunming and his father to lead his family to go first.
The group happily said auspicious words and walked towards the new courtyard. Fortunately, it is winter, and if you walk for about 20 minutes in summer, you will have to suffer from heat stroke.
In the new courtyard, as soon as Brother Zhang Chunming saw his father coming over with everyone, he hurriedly set off firecrackers, and Zhang Meili carried a kettle into it to sprinkle water. A noisy group of people entered the courtyard and looked around.
Zhang Guoqing saw that they had all finished moving their things, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he went out of the yard and went to the house of the second sister Zhang Meimei in the back. For today's banquets, all the meals were prepared in the courtyard of Zhang Meimei's house and sent to Zhang Meimei's courtyard.
In Zhang Meimei's yard, his father-in-law and mother-in-law and a few people were working together, and they were busy, the firecrackers went off, and the lunch was almost over.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, he saw that his second brother-in-law's family was all on the field except for the second sister, and raised his eyebrows. He had already booked several eldest nephews and nieces and daughters-in-law of Zhang Chunming's family to come over yesterday, and they also agreed, but he didn't expect that there would be anyone who escaped.
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly stepped forward to pull Lao Chen, who was so busy that he was only wearing a single shirt, and complained: "Look at you, why did you come up to help?" It's all my fault for not arranging it well. Uncle Chen, don't take it easy. What should you do if you are blown by the wind on this cold day? Come on in, leave it to me here. As she spoke, she only pushed him in.
Chen's father happily entered the house. He was happy in his heart, and he wanted to do his best to help Zhang Guoqing with his heart towards his brothers and sisters. Yesterday afternoon, I saw him keep pulling things over, and he saw it, it was really a great effort. If it depends on a few brothers in Zhang Chunming's family, then everyone will have to eat pickles today. His nephews said they would help today, but as a result, they came over to make a shadow and ran away. The cooking master brought a few hands and hurried to work.
Lao Chen took a sip of water, put on his coat and went to the yard, as soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Guoqing taking off his coat, moving firewood back and forth, and constantly looking around to see where it was missing. He really didn't misunderstand this child, he knew more from Zuo Lin, and he liked this 18-year-old child even more.
Look at the old wife who was laughing at Xiao Wu in the yard, and look at the pile of 100 catties of briquettes. Lao Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help.
