.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
The next day, because they were going to have a banquet, Old Man Liu and Liu Boyu did not go to work in the field. After breakfast, Liu Boyu moved the table of eight immortals and went to Qi's sister-in-law's house first, helping to do some chores by the way.
After all the work at home was cleaned up, Guo was still grinding and dressing up in the room, and Old Man Liu was impatient to wait for her, and beckoned Mrs. Liu, Xie and her two granddaughters to carry four benches away.
There are more than 20 households between Qi's sister-in-law's house and the Liu family, although they are people with foreign surnames, they have been settled in Baishui Village for several generations, and they are quite popular in the village, so there will be no fewer people in this village to eat and drink today.
The courtyard is clean and tidy, with more than a dozen tables, and there are also a few tables in the hall, which belong to the respected elderly, and the other guests sit in the open-air seats in the courtyard.
The procession to greet relatives has already set off, and some people are busy going in and out, arranging various matters for receiving relatives.
After entering the courtyard of the Qi family, the second elder of the Liu family was invited into the hall to sit, while the Xie family washed the dishes and wiped the table with the women who helped.
Qi's sister-in-law gave birth to two boys and three girls, and the three daughters are all married, and the youngest son who is married today is the last. One of the eldest son's girls is close to Liu Qingyan and Qingzhi, and they are already familiar with each other.
It was still early, Liu Qingyan and Qingzhi went to the gate of the Qi family to play at the gate of the courtyard, where a bunch of little men and girls had gathered.
Some men were confused, lit the artillery and threw it into the group of girls, causing the little girls to scream and look at each other angrily, picking up small stones and broken tiles on the ground to shoot back, and the men who smashed the trouble hugged their heads and ran away, and fled far away, and after a while, while the little girls were not paying attention, they came to throw the artillery again.
Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes, walked to the side and looked at the sky and sighed, it's so boring, when will you get rid of this kind of life disguised as a child.
After a while, Guo Shi swayed and twisted his hips, wearing a gorgeous rose red dress, which was dazzling, the lake blue belt strangled the waist and thin waist, the face was powdered, the eyebrows were drawn, the rouge was applied, and the lips were painted blood red, and people who didn't know thought she was a bride.
Brain-dead mother-in-law, just drinking a happy wine, dressing up so swaggering and eye-catching will make the main family think about it, and do something that offends people. Liu Qingyan secretly complained.
Guo Shi felt very good about himself, and after entering the courtyard of the Qi family, he didn't talk to others, and found a table to sit down, and the corners of his mouth rose to see that everyone had an arrogant expression.
Because Liu Boyu can read and write, he was arranged by the Qi family to do the reception of the congratulatory gifts of the registered guests, and some men were there to make a fussy of nonsense, and when they saw Guo's dazzling dress, they made a joke about Liu Boyu.
"Brother Boyu is so glamorous, he begged such a beautiful mother-in-law, how can he be like the yellow-faced woman in my house, and he can't be interested in going to bed at night."
"That is, looking at Mrs. Boyu's outfit today, she will definitely enter the cave room at night."
"Definitely, if it were my mother-in-law, I would definitely be a groom every night."
Men, the more you talk about me, the more explicit it it becomes, and the topic is all about the matter between the husband and wife's bed.
Liu Boyu was said to be extremely uncomfortable, looking at Guo's eyes and inconvenient to attack, this mother-in-law is too unrestrained, and she doesn't look at what the occasion is!
The men spoke loudly, and when Guo heard it, he thought that others were praising her for her beauty, and the expression on her face became more and more proud, and her nostrils turned to the sky as if her eyes were on the top of her head.
Guo was already unpopular in the village, and today he deliberately dressed up so noisy that the women looked sideways and spit on the ground.
There was a noisy sound of gongs, drums, suona and firecrackers at the entrance of the village, it was the team that picked up the bride who came back, and the girls ran towards the entrance of the village one after another.
The villagers all came out of the house, standing on both sides of the village road or at the door of their own houses to watch the excitement, commenting on whether the dowry sent by the bride's family was rich enough.
Seeing that there were many onlookers, the musicians played harder, and the firecrackers were hung one after another, crackling from the entrance of the village to the gate of the Qi family's courtyard.
The bride got off the sedan chair, with a big red flower on her chest, and the groom official Qi Manfu carried the bride into the courtyard door and the hall on his back, and then it was the ceremony of worshipping the church.
Before the ceremony was over, each table was served with peanuts, melon seeds, candy cubes and tea. The guests who came to congratulate were almost there, and the people who had good relations gathered at a table to talk and wait for the banquet to begin, and the children were eating snacks and chasing and playing in the courtyard, which was very lively.
Kwok occupied a table with a broken face, because no woman wanted to sit with her. The banquet is prepared according to the number of people who come to congratulate them, and if no one is at that table, there are not enough seats.
Seeing this, Xie had no choice but to drag Liu Qingyan and Qingzhi to sit at the table occupied by Guo. As soon as he sat down for a while, Widow Shen also came with the calf.
Xiao Niu'er looked around the yard, and when she saw Liu Qingyan, she immediately ran over happily and said to Liu Qingyan: "Sister Qingyan, why don't you go to the camphor tree to play recently?" ”
Liu Qingyan rubbed his bun and said with a smile: "My sister is an adult, and she has a lot to do, but she can't just think about playing every day." ”
Xie Shi listened and said sarcastically: "Now that I know that I am an adult, when I wanted to run to play in the past, I forgot all about it." ”
"Mother, there are so many people here, why don't you save me some face." Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and pretended to be angry.
Shen smiled and said to Xie: "It's normal for people who are only twelve years old, it's normal to be playful, children are by nature, I think we are like this at our age." ”
Seeing that someone was helping, Liu Qingyan raised her chin and said proudly: "Mother, listen, this is my nature, my nature." ”
Xie Shi glared at her and said fiercely: "Give me less poverty, there are more people now, I will save you some face, go back and see how I clean you up." Then he said to Shen with a pleasant face: "Sister, sit down, the banquet is about to start." ”
"The face is getting really fast." Liu Qingyan sneered, grabbed a peanut, peeled it and threw it in her mouth.
Shen and Xiao Niu naturally sat at Liu Qingyan's table, and Guo looked at Shen with disgust.
Xie and Shen are chattering and cooking, Liu Qingyan silently peels peanuts to eat, picks two peels, peels one for herself, and one for the calf to eat, Qingzhi is not interested in peanuts, she loves to eat sweet sugar cubes.
After peeling a few peanuts, two more elderly women from the village sat down at the table, who had come because they had been busy with a lot of work at home, and they had no seats to choose from.
Someone came over and cleaned up the table and set up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to prepare for the dinner. The first time she ate a banquet from another world, Liu Qingyan was looking forward to the dishes, and she was eager to taste the skills of this legendary chef Zhang.
The banquet in Baishui Village is ten dishes, commonly known as the "ten bowls", and the banquet of each family is decently done or not, it is all in the amount of competition, and the dishes are too many to eat, so as to show the atmosphere of the main family.
The dishes came up one after another, each of which was a bucket of bowls with sharp piles, and it seemed that the Qi family had invested enough money to earn a face.
This chef Zhang's skills are indeed good, but he is not a wasted person, so Liu Qingyan, a pseudo-ancient, who has a mouthful of mouth, is also secretly impressed, saying that if she is allowed to cook this kind of cauldron dish, it may not be so good.
It is rare for the countrymen to eat such a sumptuous feast, and the people at each table bow their heads and eat violently, praising the quantity and taste of the dishes repeatedly.
The fourth dish is a bowl of braised pork, as soon as the red and oily braised pork comes up, Guo scoops a few pieces and puts them in his own bowl, completely ignoring the eyes of others, as if he has never eaten meat in his life.
The two older women didn't like Guo's anymore, and when they saw this situation, they unceremoniously scooped the meat and put it into their bowls, so that most of the braised pork was gone.
Liu Qingyan was indifferent to the greasy braised pork and was too lazy to grab it.
Seeing that there were no more pieces of braised pork left, the little calf stood up a little anxiously to clamp it, but it was not clamped steadily, and his hand shook when it was recovered, and the piece of meat fell on the table, jumped twice and rolled off the table.
The position where he sat was adjacent to Guo's, and the direction where the braised pork fell was Guo's seat, and the meat fell on Guo's skirt impartially.
The little calf was a little overwhelmed, and froze there with chopsticks in his hand.
Guo was eating comfortably, when he saw a piece of braised pork fall on the hem of her skirt, and the rose-red material was immediately stained with oil, and his heart suddenly rushed to his head, and he didn't think about it, so he got up and raised his hand violently and slapped it.
slapped on the left cheek of the little cow, Guo Shi used a lot of force, and the little cow's cheek instantly became red and swollen.
The incident happened suddenly, and the whole table was blindfolded.
Qing Zhi shuddered in fright, and her ass left the stool to slip away.
Shen wanted to apologize to Guo, but before he could say anything, he saw that Guo's slap had already slapped his son in the face.
A crisp slap sounded, and the people at the adjacent tables heard it and turned their heads to look this way.
Xiao Niu'er was usually taught well by the Shen family, he understood that he had done something wrong to be beaten, but his cheeks hurt so badly that he didn't cry loudly, and the tears rolled in his eyes a few times before they slowly flowed down.
Shen didn't care about looking for Guo's theory, so he held the little cow's face to check the injury first, and saw that his son's little cheeks were so red and swollen that he hugged him into his arms and sobbed in distress. The man died early, and her son was her greatest comfort, but now she was beaten like this because of a trivial matter, and all kinds of sad grievances came to her heart.
Guo's behavior sparked public outrage, and the first to be distracted were the two women at the same table, who loudly explained what had happened to those around them.
The same Liu family, Xie and Liu Qingyan were inconvenient to reprimand Guo at this time, so they had to appease Shen and Xiao Niu'er.
Shen let go of the little cow, his chest rose and fell violently, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and said to Guo Shi with anger: "A six-year-old girl, even if there is a mistake, you shouldn't beat him like this." If you stain your clothes, I will wash them for you, but it really can't be done, I will pay you another piece of clothing, why do you do so much. ”
