"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, my classmate invited me to her house to do a half-dan, do you know what a half-dan? Do I need to bring something to the door? At the dinner table, Gu Nuannuan suddenly said this, and Zhang Dazhuang, Wen Xiu, Zhang Weiqiang, Lin Qin, Zhang Su, Zhang Kai, Zhang Minzhen and Song Yong all came over.

Friday night is usually the time for the three families to have dinner, and the place is set at Zhang Dazhuang and Wen Xiu's villa, if there is nothing particularly important, everyone will come back for dinner on this day. Today is no exception, so the talent will be so complete.

"Bandan? In fact, it is a custom in this neighborhood to do Bandan, and generally the time in each village is not the same in various places, that is, everyone takes turns to invite people to the house to have a banquet, speaking of which, many places on this day are more lively than the New Year's Festival. There are more people invited by those who have money and conditions, and there are more people who hold banquets and hold more than ten or twenty tables. Anyway, the more people you invite, the more face you have; Of course, if there are few people who have no money and no conditions, it is nothing, and some just invite a table of their own relatives, and they will always have a lively time. Zhang Dazhuang squinted his eyes and recalled.

"That's it, our village used to do this, but then everyone's life was not good, and it was gradually canceled, what's the matter, has it started again now?" Wen Xiu also added with a smile on the side, "Yes, now everyone's life is slowly getting better." It's good to have a chance to see Nuan Nuan, it's quite interesting, and there will be a welcome god, a lion dance or something to the door of every house, and people from every household will also put incense at the door to greet them. ”

Wen Xiu and Zhang Dazhuang's words aroused the interest of Zhang Su and Zhang Kai, and Zhang Kai said with great interest: "Grandma, since other villages have restored this custom, can we also suggest that our village should also be restored?" ”

"No, I can't. Now the conditions of our family are improving, but there are still many difficult families in the village. After all, it is a financial expense to do this, and even if you invite someone to your home once a year to eat and drink for nothing, it is still a considerable burden for most people. Zhang Dazhuang shook his head and refused without thinking, "If the people in the village and the clan propose it, we will naturally not object, but let us take the lead to promote this matter." ”

"Your grandfather is right, don't say it in the future. Actually, if you want me to say, what are you doing with this spare money? Even if it is to donate more school bags, stationery, clothes and everything to children in those poor places. Zhang Weiqiang said disapprovingly on the side.

"How can this be the same. One yard to one yard, to say that our company has not donated enough money throughout the year? Wen Xiu didn't agree with her son's words, "But I also agree with what your father said, although our family is up, we can't just care about what we want to show off and don't care about the lives of others." ”

Gu Nuannuan smiled when she heard this, this seemed to be a bit off-topic.

"By the way, Nuan Nuan, where does your fellow student live and what is his name? Pretty good with you, right? Zhang Minzhen smiled and nodded, "It's good to have more contact with classmates." ”

"Lin Qiao, Shuangmu Lin, skillful hands. That is, students who are generally slightly better. She lives not far away, just a stop in front of our house. I hadn't been to the exact name of the place, and I hadn't asked that clearly, but she said she would pick me up at the station at ten o'clock tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll just walk straight from home. Gu Nuannuan took a pair of chopsticks and put enoki mushrooms in her mouth and chewed them slowly.

"That place should be Yingkou Village, yes, I listened to it when I was in the company today, and some people were talking about our company's Yingkou Village people inviting people to go to their homes to do half a day." Song Yong replied casually.

"Oh. None of you have told me what I'm going to bring to my classmates tomorrow? Gu Nuannuan glanced at a few people in the family.

"Generally, you don't need to bring things to your door when you go to someone's house for half a day, because everyone usually invites each other to come." Wen Xiu thought for a while, "But if you want to bring something, it's nothing, otherwise you can bring ten catties of oil." ”

"Okay." Gu Nuannuan nodded happily, she didn't like to owe others at all, so if she brought something to the door, she would feel less burdened.

The next day, Gu Nuannuan appeared on time at the place where she had made an appointment with Lin Qiao with a large barrel of oil and a large bag of apples prepared by Zhang Minzhen, Lin Qiao had already arrived in advance, and her eyes widened when she saw the things she was carrying, and she stammered: "Nuan, Nuan Nuan, you, how are you ...... Don't you know that you don't need to bring anything when you are invited to someone else's house for a half-dan? ”

"My grandmother said it was okay to bring it."

Gu Nuannuan glanced at her and handed over the bag of apples, Lin Qiao took it and was very embarrassed: "It's all because I didn't tell you clearly, I thought you knew." Did you come here? So your house is not far from here, right? Otherwise, we will send the things back to your house together, such a large barrel of oil is too expensive, in fact, even if you bring something, it is enough to bring this apple, I will definitely not be able to collect the oil. If I don't go back, my parents will blame me. ”

"It's still quite far, heavy, I've already taken it out, how can there be any reason to send it back? If you don't want it, then I'll just go back. ”

Gu Nuannuan looked at Lin Qiao's embarrassed and tangled appearance, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but quietly rise. She suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were wrong, how could anyone in this world be perfect? People who are not greedy at least show that the character and family education are still good. It's enough to have this, maybe I can try to develop her as a real friend. Actually, I'm quite short of friends, aren't I?

"......" Lin Qiao looked at her hesitantly, her face complicated, "Don't be like this, if you think it's important for me to carry things, you are responsible for leading the way?" ”

"Not the problem. I've taken all my stuff out, and it's not good to bring it back with me. Let's go, is your home in Yingkou Village? Gu Nuannuan urged Lin Qiao.

"But, but ......" Lin Qiao wanted to cry a little anxiously, looking at the oil in Gu Nuannuan's hand with a bitter face, and regretting in his heart that he didn't explain much about his self-righteousness yesterday, today he received Gu Nuannuan's heavy gift, so when he looked back on Nuannuan's invitation to himself, didn't he have to return such a gift? How can your own family afford to come and go like this?

It seems that the conditions at Gu Nuannuan's house are not much different from their own as they imagined, otherwise her parents would not be able to make such a big move, alas, she is too stupid, just look at her every week when she goes back and doesn't bring anything.

"Don't do it, if you don't leave, can you still catch up with the Ying-God?" Gu Nuannuan urged. Yesterday, after listening to what her grandparents said, she was also quite curious about the custom of doing half a day. In her previous life, no one had ever invited her mother to do anything with herself, so even in her hometown, she had never seen this custom at all.
