Chapter 617: In-laws boast to each other
When it was time to get off work, the two sisters, Zhang Lao Er and Zhang Meili, gathered in the small courtyard, and the old Zhang family was reunited except for Zhang Guofu in the provincial capital.
Today, Zhang's mother was happy and took her three daughters-in-law to steam two large pots of white steamed buns. Of course, no matter how happy she is, mixing white flour with cornmeal is not negotiable.
She also deliberately boiled a thick pot of white rice porridge, stir-fried four seasonal vegetables, a potato stewed air-dried hare, and a stewed fish. Each of these six dishes was served on two plates, and the two tables were crowded into the living room, and the fragrance came to the nose. provoked the children to shout that it was a New Year.
Before the banquet, Zhang's father went to call the in-laws of the two sons-in-law's families, and everyone gathered around to laugh and laugh, which was really not inferior to the atmosphere of the New Year.
Zhang Guoqing still stood at the men's table and poured wine for the three elders, he toasted them, wishing them the friendship of the three elder brothers to last forever and be like a family.
Chen Bole laughed, "That's good! ”
Accountant Zhang sighed with emotion: "Who would have thought that the older we are, the more flavorful we are. Little five, fill it up again for us. Second, I will borrow flowers to offer you a cup of Buddha today, and thank you two for giving birth to a good girl! ”
Uncle Chen also raised the bowl, "Not to mention the kindness and filial piety of this child, he also gave birth to two grandchildren for my Chen family." Don't say much, thank you Brother Zhang for raising a good daughter. ”
Daddy Zhang happily raised the bowl and said with a smile: "Don't be polite. I haven't thanked you for raising a good son to be my son-in-law. Come on, we three old guys have a toast. ”
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the two sisters with a smile, saw that they blushed with shame, and was happy for them in his heart. It is enough for a woman to be favored by her husband, favored by her in-laws, and have a happy family. The rest of his brother will help them up. Especially the eldest sister, he must let her live a good life.
Zhang's mother happily helped the two mothers of the family to sandwich the meat, "Eat more." I can't speak, but I thank my sisters-in-law for loving my daughter-in-law, no different from my own daughter-in-law. ”
Liu's stroke has gradually recovered, and he can occasionally walk a few steps, except for his speech is not fluent, and his life is no longer in trouble. Compared with Gu Ruyi, this old man is lucky, she has a wife who loves each other, a caring old son, and a filial daughter-in-law.
"Beautiful and filial."
"Beauty is also intimate with me."
Zhang's mother said modestly: "That's your reasoning." We don't talk politely, we eat vegetables and eat vegetables......"
Zhou Jiao watched from the side and snickered. Her mother-in-law is really happy this time, and it is estimated that she is in a very good mood these days.
Compared with the embarrassment of the beautiful Zhang sisters, Huang Cuilan on the side was a little uneasy. She looked at the lively scene in front of her, and she always felt out of place, like an outsider.
Lin Juhua saw that she didn't even eat vegetables and even nibbled on several mouthfuls of steamed buns, so she poked Huang Cuilan's leg. I am anxious for her sister-in-law, but don't let her mother-in-law lose face, otherwise she will be really angry.
This will be Xiao Wu, if anyone makes his mother uncomfortable, this little ancestor can't look at it and smile all day long, it won't be light. The worst thing is that Jiaojiao will protect her man without asking about it.
Others don't know how the eldest sister-in-law Zhang Meili was transferred to the trade union, can the family still not understand? Aunt Zuo just looked at Xiao Wu's face, and she didn't even need to say hello, and was directly promoted and raised.
Oh, what did your own man say? If you offend anyone, don't offend his mother. His mother has three sons and three daughters behind him, yes, Jiaojiao is also a daughter. provokes his mother's fire, and anyone can tear himself up.
Oh my God, this sister-in-law won't hurry up and brush up her good feelings, let the little five and her family help, but no one will help Ming'er's eldest brother to divorce.
Huang Cuilan smiled at Lin Juhua, holding the chopsticks, but saw that Zhou Jiao had already helped her hold a chopstick dish and put it in the bowl. watched her continue to cover up for everyone's vegetables, and my heart warmed.
At this time, Chen Bo, the man at the men's table, also mentioned Zhang Guofu, and he asked Zhang Guoqing, "Have you been there?" ”
"I went to his school before I came back."
Huang Cuilan listened intently to their conversation.
“…… Do you have any plans for your eldest brother to come back from studying? ”
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the second brother, the two brothers looked at each other, and he smiled: "I didn't ask either." With my eldest brother's temperament, he must like to listen to the arrangements of the leaders above. ”
"Your eldest brother is now out of the picture. I heard that he won a grand prize last time for some statistics, otherwise it would not be his turn to study this time. ”
Zhang Guoqing said with a smile: "Our three brothers each have their own strengths. My eldest brother is very good at arithmetic, he has a stable temperament, is patient and careful in his work, and this time he has found the right direction. ”
Accountant Zhang boasted: "This is true. As soon as I dialed the abacus, he had already calculated it silently. He just didn't come to work in the city, and he would take over as the team accountant. ”
Zhang Guoqing changed the topic and said with a smile: "Speaking of the village, I plan to go back to my hometown tomorrow." I didn't see Daqingshan outside, and I was always upset. ”
Accountant Zhang sighed, "Daqingshan is not the mountain of the early years. ”
Zhang Guoqiang looked at his younger brother's confused face and explained: "A lot of trees have been cut down on the periphery, and there is not even a single chicken feather at the foot of the mountain until halfway up the mountain. ”
"Is Grandpa's wooden shack still there?" Zhang Guoqing had long expected that the lack of food would reach a certain extent, and many people would naturally crowd into the mountains, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"This location is too close to the inside, but no one dares to demolish it. Wolves howls can often be heard, and no one dares to go over except the old hunters. Our side is pretty good, but the mountains on the Linxian side are all bare. The dense forest from before was also swept away. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at his father when he heard this.
Father Zhang nodded, "I heard that Old Man Wang said that these wolves were not extinguished before and gathered again." Since last year, there have been no wild things on the mountain, and fortunately this year's wind and rain have been smooth, otherwise your third grandfather is afraid that he will be sad. ”
Over there, Lin Juhua stabbed Zhou Jiao and said in a low voice: "In the afternoon, I also heard Xiao Wu say that he would take a safe trip up the mountain." You must stop him this time, don't let him fool around. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile and quipped, "Second sister-in-law isn't worried about running out of meat to eat?" ”
Lin Juhua glanced at her, "You have a big heart." After saying that, she laughed to herself, "Not to mention, since you two are not at home, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”
"It's like that all over the country. It's been a long time since I've eaten roast pork dish. ”
Lin Juhua looked at her regretful look and smiled happily. She didn't want to eat meat, she wanted to be lively.
She glanced at her sister-in-law who wanted to speak and stopped, and immediately understood, and asked softly, "What were you big brother doing in the past?" ”
Zhou Jiao glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "What else can you do." We used him to be in class and waited outside for half an hour. ”
Lin Juhua glanced at her mother-in-law, and wanted to ask a few words, so she wanted to shut up. It's better to forget it, wait until you ask in private, I just don't know if you can ask the truth with the temperament of this younger brother and sister.
