Chapter 148: The In-laws Meet

Besides, since Peng Cheng went to work, Chunmei was left alone at home. However, she is in a much better mood, no longer reluctant to come out to meet people as before, but a visit to the east and west, three children have already two children go to work, as for Bai Xue's work, it is also difficult, anyway, her husband will come back in a few months.

Everyone in the village knows that Peng Cheng is divorced, and there are many people who come to propose to him, most of them are second marriages with widowed husbands. Chunmei refused in one bite, very unhappy, my child was divorced, but not the second marriage. It's too small to look down on me, it's not a big girl, I don't want it. I also heard that Xiaojun spread rumors everywhere that Peng Cheng was sick and had no children, so some people who wanted to say goodbye to Peng Cheng didn't dare to mention it.

Chunmei doesn't think so, she can talk nonsense if she wants to, you love to believe it or not, and I don't ask you anyway. Therefore, she did not take it to heart at all.

On this day, Chunmei was about to go out, and a luxury car stopped at the door of her house, which was brought by Fugui, and he whispered to Chunmei: "I was thinking about going to the street, and they inquired about our family outside the village, so I brought them here." ”

The car door opened, Xie Fang's parents got out of the car and asked, "You are Pengxiang's mother, we are Xie Fang's parents." ”

As soon as Chunmei heard about Xie Fang, she immediately understood, and hurriedly went home. Because he had just received a letter from Peng Xiang telling her that Xie Fang's parents were coming, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After entering the house, Chunmei immediately made tea, and poked on the stove to make the house warmer, this is the first time to meet the in-laws, very distinguished guests, nothing is prepared, Chunmei is a little in a hurry.

Xie Fang's mother said politely, "Don't be busy, we are not outsiders." ”

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, I just received a letter from my child, I know that you are coming, and I am not prepared, you sit, sit, such a long way, tired enough," Chunmei asked. He called Fugui to the courtyard again, gave him three hundred yuan, and said, "This is the parents of Pengxiang, please hurry to the front line to buy vegetables." According to the standard of our seats, the standard is even higher. ”

Fugui responded, pushed the bicycle and left, "Come to your uncle's side and call your uncle and aunt over." ”

Fugui agreed and hurried away.

In the house, Xie Fang's mother took Chunmei's hand and said, "We have wanted to come to see you for a long time, and we have never been available." Pengxiang's child is very good, her father and I like it very much, the child is kind-hearted and smart, I really envy you, raising such a good son. ”

"He's not as good as you say, and sometimes he's tough. That girl is good, she came by herself for such a long journey, and brought so many things, but she was tired, I was so worried. Chunmei said.

"Fangfang went back and said hello, I lived for those days and caused you trouble."

"What's the trouble, it's all my own children, I'm still worried that she won't be used to living, our countryside is not as good as the city, the conditions are not good, I am relieved if I don't have a wronged child." Chunmei praised Xie Fang for a while, Xie Fang's mother also praised Pengxiang for a while, Xie Fang's father couldn't speak, and only laughed on the side.

As he was talking, Wang Shu and Zhou Ni came, Chunmei was busy introducing, and there was another greeting. This is the first time that the in-laws have come to the door, and they are very distinguished guests, so they have to arrange a big banquet.

Wang Shu called Chunmei out and talked to her.

Chunmei said: "I have already asked Uncle Fugui to go grocery shopping." As he was talking, Peng Cheng came back, and Wang Shu hurriedly instructed him to call whom.

Peng Cheng entered the house to say hello and hurried out.

After a while, Wang Yinshu came, Fajiu and Tian Liang also came, Xinming also came, the chef he went out to learn was very good at stir-frying, and whoever married his daughter-in-law in the village was his chef, Peng Cheng and Jin Guang came in with a square table, pressed the table to the northeast house, and were busy lighting the stove.

The family was busy for a while, Wang Yinshu came out of the house and asked how the preparations were going? Xin Ming said: "It's all ready, just wait for Fugui." ”

He called Jin Guang over, "You go and greet your Uncle Fugui, it's not early, and it's too late." ”

The golden light should be shining.

At this time, Zhihao came in on a motorcycle, and Jin Guang called him and hurried away.

"Catch and kill the two roosters first," Wang Yinshu instructed, and Xinming helped Peng Cheng to catch the chickens.

The village heard about it, and they all came to see it, just like watching a daughter-in-law, many people surrounded the limousine to see, just like looking at a rare thing, naughty children wanted to touch it, and the adults shouted not to let it, for fear of touching it all at once, and the scene was lively for a while.

Rural people are idle in winter, they are all in the nest winter, usually there is no pastime, either get together to bask in the sun and grind their mouths, or keep the stove at home, a few people play poker, if anyone marries a daughter-in-law or mourns are together, how many relatives will help, no relatives and no reason to watch a lively, even if it is cold, wives and children also come out to see.

Those who come to see things are people who rely on the land to eat and have no business acumen, and those who are a little more flexible go out to work or do a small business to subsidize their families, and the remaining people in the village can be said to be idlers.

Someone has investigated, most of these idlers are poor peasants in the past, and then some middle peasants, the former rich middle peasants or landlords in the village have become nouveau riche by doing business, like Gao Yang, don't look at the study is not good, but the business is very smart, made a fortune by raising pigs, and opened a wholesale department on the front line, I heard that he made a fortune, and said that he saved hundreds of thousands.

There is also Cheng Letian, who is also a landlord among the elders, and he also made a fortune by raising pigs, and partnered with him Lao Tzu to make a shabby acquisition point, I heard that it was also made, not to mention that it saved more than 100,000 yuan. People can't be idle, they don't see each other for months, they are busy, busy making money.

Without further ado. Wang Shu entrusted Wang Yinshu with the arrangement of the banquet, and Wang Yinshu asked Tian Liang and Fajiu to help, one in charge of the kitchen and the other in charge of the banquet. And explained that it should be arranged according to the best seats, although two people have to arrange two seats, this guest is very humble and noble, not married, the female family came to see the male family, Wangjia Village has not met for many years, there is no etiquette I don't understand, don't be rude, to our Wangjia Village embarrassed.

Fajiu and Tian Liang agreed, now they are in a hurry about the dishes, and it is almost half past ten. In a hurry, Shin Ming and Jin Guang came back on a motorcycle. Wang Yinshu hurriedly took it and counted it, and if it was enough for a table, he had to buy it, even with good cigarettes and wine.

So, Wang Yinshu called Chunmei out and talked to her.

Chunmei agreed, how to arrange, and took another 500 yuan to Wang Yinshu. Wang Yinshu wrote down the things he wanted to buy on a piece of paper, gave the money to Peng Cheng, and asked him to be responsible for buying them......

The house was full of joy, I didn't expect the rural people to be so hospitable, and the enthusiasm moved Xie Fang's parents, and they said vigorously that it was troublesome for you, don't be so cumbersome, it's better to do it casually. Xie Fang's mother brought the gift to Chunmei, two eiderdown quilts, high-end, coats, gowns, pants, and scarves are all sets, Xie Fang's mother also brought a set of jewelry to her in-laws, including rings, necklaces, and earrings, all of which are pure gold. put the ring on Chunmei's hand, Chunmei's hands trembled, her face was embarrassed, and she was very embarrassed. Everyone in the room was amazed, and Zhou Ni's eyes were about to fall out......

Fried, steamed, stir-fried, and fried, the two tables of banquets were quickly ready.

At the men's table, Wang Shu was the main accompaniment, and Wang Yinshu, Fajiu, and Tian Liang were accompanied. Chunmei and Wang Yinshu said goodbye, arranged Fugui to the table, at first, Fugui said that he would not go to anything, and he couldn't help Chunmei to persuade him, no matter what, you are Xiang'er's godfather, your uncle is not there, it should be said that it is your business, how can you not go to it.

Wang Yinshu also said: "My aunt said so, come on, people are very kind, and they don't drink, they just sit and play, just sit and play, just now my aunt told others, saying that his godfather is also here, and people are asking you."

Fugui agreed, saying, "Then I'll go home and change my clothes." And he hurried away.

On the women's seat, Chunmei asked Xian, Xiang, and Ni to call, and Zhihao's mother again.

The news of Fugui's banquet spread in the village, and they were all puzzled and curious. Such a crazy person is still at the table, I really don't know what Chunmei thinks, I am not afraid that he will get drunk and make trouble and stir up the situation. As a result, the village was in a uproar for a while.

Look at Fugui, shaved beard, new coat and new pants, a new pair of cotton shoes on his feet, all the way, holding a cigarette in his hand, taking a puff from time to time, holding his head high, and not squinting. The person looks like a dog, and he really treats himself as a guest. The people in the village laughed at him, but he turned a blind eye and ignored no one......

At the banquet, Xie Fang's father praised Pengxiang and shook hands with Fugui very politely, Fugui was very excited, just saying that Pengxiang was a good child. Xie Fang's father doesn't drink, seeing that people are driving cars, and it is such a long way, it doesn't matter, he drinks with everyone with tea and wine.

After drinking a circle, before Wang Shu could speak, Fugui picked up the wine and drank with Xie Fang's father, drank six cups in a row, and still wanted to drink, Xie Fang's father persuaded him not to drink, and others also persuaded him to stop, maybe he was excited, plus the effect of wine, his face was as red as a red cloth.

Wang Shu was worried, afraid that he would make trouble, and was very willing for him to leave quickly, and complained in his heart that Chunmei shouldn't let him come, really make trouble, look at who he is making trouble, women are women, I really don't know what to think, I don't want to go, I really want to be grateful to him, and then buy him a cigarette and send it over It's better than this, what a vain guest.

Wang Shu was scared and watched Fugui's every move from time to time. Fugui is really lined up, his every move is very decent, and he is not rude, and he talks to Xie Fang's father from time to time, all about Pengxiang's childhood.

Xie Fang's father was still very interested, asked him from time to time, and listened to him very attentively. Several people looked at him, looked at each other, and talked to others, they were very nervous, just afraid of saying the wrong thing, but he said it very easily, with a beginning and an end, and a clear organization, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Soon, Xie Fang's father asked for dinner, saying that he had to go back, and it couldn't be too late.

The host changed with the guests, but panicked the kitchen, before the dish was served, the guests asked to eat, so they accelerated the speed of serving, and some dishes were not moved before they came down, "Look at it, let's go to let you break the bank, just eat some home-cooked food," Xie Fang's mother felt deeply sorry and didn't say.

"Our countryside is like this, today is in a hurry, I don't know if the food is your taste, you can eat well, eat more, there is such a long way," Zhou Ni's mouth is skillful, she kept letting go and kept picking vegetables for Xie Fang's mother. Xie Fang's mother just said thank you, and asked them to go when the children held the wedding, so that they would have a good reunion when the time came......

Before leaving, Xie Fang's mother called Chunmei to the back room, took out a thousand yuan from her bag and said, "I'm in a hurry, and I don't have time to see the child's father. ”

Can Chunmei ask for it, push it, see if people are in a hurry, if you don't accept it, you can't accept it, so you will accept it. In general, bring something to others, people in the city like rural grains, Chunmei gave them the mung beans that were interplanted in the cotton field this year, I wanted Pengxiang to carry them, they were all loaded, and they forgot to bring them in a hurry, it just so happened that they had a car, and it was not in the way, and sesame, sorghum rice or something, Xie Fang's mother pushed it, or accepted it.

They were very affectionate, and Xie Fang's mother hugged Xia Chunmei before getting into the car, which made Chunmei a little embarrassed. The people who watched the matter crowded the alley, more than the people who watched the wife, and they all talked enthusiastically and inquired curiously.

The car started, and the crowd was so crowded that they had to stop, Peng Cheng and Jin Guang evacuated the crowd, shouting from time to time, drinking naughty children, and finally sent the car out......
