The next day, everyone got up early, and Mo Mei and Shengziniang were already familiar with making balls.

"Rank the officials, and let everyone open their eyes and see my ability to see Xuejian!" Xue saw that he rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture of wanting to do a big job, "Walk by, don't miss it." ”

"Good sister, don't always make fun of me." My sister hugged her stomach and laughed into tears.

"Hey, sister, why are you crying? Isn't it gluttonous? Xue saw that she was puzzled, and said with a shy sister's face. My sister's face turned red, "Sister is all confused, people are obviously ......" suddenly realized that Xue Jian was teasing her, so she glared at Xue Jian, "Xue Jian Sister turned out to be the worst!" ”

"You two, just play, you miss the business for a while."

"Got it!"

"No, it won't!"

The two said in unison.

Xuejian then put the washed hen into a pot of boiling water thoroughly, take it out and put it in another pot, add green onions, ginger, salt and cumin, cinnamon, cloves and other cooking meat all the medicinal materials (these ingredients are Xuejian with a small bag of muslin cloth to wrap where to go), cook in the marinated pot, take another empty pot, no cypress powder, I had to find some jujube wood casually, put a wire grate on it, put the chicken on the grate, cover the pot tightly, do it on the fire, make the bottom of the pot red, ignite the jujube powder, smoke the chicken to golden brown.

This year's earthquake has made people panic, such a happy event, it makes people feel joyful, relatives from afar, but also brought congratulatory gifts in advance, and the villagers in the village are even more joyful on their faces, as if they are their own lively.

"Uncle him, we're still late, aren't we?" Usually the mother of the child rarely interacts with the neighbors, but this time not only came by himself, but also brought a few distant relatives of the mother's family, which added a lot of color to the uncle's family. Putting out the food in her hand, Mo Mei introduced loudly under the signal of her mother: "Uncle, this ball is called Sixi Ball, and this chicken is called Bazhen Chicken!" I wish my brother and my new sister-in-law a beautiful and beautiful match! This meatball and chicken were served on the table, and the auspicious and bright name of the dish made the uncle's family smile so much that they couldn't see their eyes. Living, who doesn't want to be auspicious and festive.

"Well, look at my sister's little mouth, it's so sweet, I really like people." Immediately there were people around who were interested in boasting.

At this time, it was almost noon, the newcomer had arrived, and the wedding banquet began immediately, seeing Zhou Bo such an obviously extraordinary city person, the uncle of the son was a little at a loss, and was busy inviting the seat, Zhou Bo also grinned rarely, arched his hand and said: "We can get such a festive thing, but also our blessing, I wish the newcomer Qin Se and Ming, Mandarin Duck Fulu, Siluo Spring and Autumn, flowers and full moon, and Di Ronghua, happiness!" And casually asked Duofu to send a congratulatory ceremony, Xue Jian tilted her head, fortunately it was not bright silver, she breathed a sigh of relief, it was not those flashy things that were not suitable for life.

In Duofu's hand was a fine cotton cloth and a coarse cotton cloth with a zhang of green, and the fifth uncle moved down six jars of rice wine from the carriage one after another. This congratulatory gift is not luxurious and economical and practical, look at the eyes of the surrounding villagers, the men all think, this wine pipe is enough to drink for half a month, the ladies are staring at those cloths, usually pull a piece of cloth on the set also have to calculate, these cloths are enough for the old He family up and down the New Year, a person with a new clothes. This relative of the widow and second aunt of the He family is really good at picking congratulatory gifts, just looking at these things is not worth anything at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is a big gift, it is really a bright person!

Shengziniang's face was a little colorful, and a little embarrassed, after thinking about it, I also knew that when the two of them learned to make balls with Xue Jian yesterday, Duofu and they drove the carriage out, presumably to the nearest town to buy these things. The eldest aunt who gave birth to a child had a light on her face, and she complained a little in surprise to Duofu: "Look at you, you are too polite." ”

"It's the same as I said, but in the end, it's a little bit of their mind, so my sister-in-law will quickly pick it up and let the child eat on the table." The mother of the child grinned, looking hearty, but more joyful than she usually did.

In this way, under the envious gaze of the villagers, they were polite to each other and entered the table. Duofu and Uncle Wang didn't dare to sit at the same table with their masters, so they rubbed to the side, sat down, and said, "Let's just sit here." ”

Although there are not many meatballs, there is only one chicken at each table, so it can only go up to the main seat. The son is even more busy with flying feet, and he is more beautiful than his cousin.

Although the charred and fragrant chicken is not everyone's mouthful, but this seems to be enough for a big ball, or pure meat filling, the people in the village are undoubtedly very impressed by this generous stroke, "Dare to compare it to the wedding banquet of the son of the head of the village in Donggezhuang?" ”

"Isn't it, there aren't many restaurants in the city with such big meatballs, right?"

When you eat it in your mouth, it is fragrant but not greasy, fat and thin match, and it melts in your mouth, which makes people call it delicious. It's a pity that there is only one table, but it is a matter of one person and one chopstick, and no one asks about the practice of this thing, which is also the light of eating the mat, and making it at home, which is to be scolded by the old man for being a loser!

"In a blink of an eye, my sister is also a handsome big girl." It is difficult for the mother to come out and walk around with relatives, she is in a good mood today, and before she came out, she and Xuejian together, and dressed up her sister carefully, and the half-new little jacket with yellow and green is not very bright but slightly playful, so that the aunts and aunts in the village have praised it a few times. "It's not, I saw it a few years ago, my hair was yellow and thin, and I only hid behind her mother and refused to come out."

Xue saw that he followed the birth mother to help clean up in the back kitchen, and the village did a happy event, and it was useless to hold the spoon or something, and the birth mother didn't like to make do with this kind of lively occasion before, for fear of adding blockage to others, and yesterday I chatted with Xue Jian for a while, and I thought about it for half a night before I realized that I was not shorter than others, so this time I took my daughter to officially help. According to her previous temper, that is, she came to give congratulatory gifts, and she would never stay long.

The two concubines were naturally happy to see her rarely open their hearts, so they talked and laughed, not to mention how lively the atmosphere was.

"Mother, Sister Xue and I went to help the second sister choose vegetables." My sister blinked her eyes wide, and she pulled the snow out for some reason, so that everyone would always talk about her.

After they went out, the person standing next to Shengziniang asked her: "Shengziniang, this little lady you brought is really handsome, and there is no such good-looking one in Sili and Baxiang, it looks like she is not two or three years older than Mo Mei, has you promised someone?" So a few more ears poked over, and the gossip souls of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law were all the same.

Looking at this little lady's dress and style, she is not a countryman, so her own children actually have no hope, but it is always okay to inquire, right?

Shengziniang looked at Xue Jian, who was choosing vegetables with her sister outside the house, smiled slightly, and said with a little lust and meaning: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the girl of the eldest young master of the Zhou family in Pingshan Village." ”

"The Zhou family in Pingshan Village?" What spreads the fastest? It's not the flu, it's not the bird flu, it's a rumor!

From the previous generation of the Zhou family who walked out of Pingshan Village, out of Anning, and out of Qingzhou Mansion, to this generation who quickly made a fabulous fortune and led the whole village to avoid earthquakes and get rich, if you want to say that there is no protection from the mountain god or something, no one really believes it!

"The handsome brother who doesn't like to talk outside is the Zhou family, big, young, master?" The heart of the girl's mother who was shattered on the ground, the threshold is too high, and it is already higher than the county master. Looking at it like this, it's unattractive, tsk, tsk, tsk.

There are even more suspicious people, who carefully look at the shadow of the snow. The light snow in the first two nights just made the temperature a little lower, and it was a sunny day for both days, and under the big sun, the shadow was the same as a normal person, and there was no tail or anything. I took a look around like this before I was relieved. When the mother saw it, she didn't like it, so she said directly: "Songzi Niang, what are you doing?" That Xue saw that the girl had been with me and Sister Mo for the past two nights, could it be that we were also ......" didn't say anything in the end.

Shengziniang has been a woman like the archway of Dongsheng Village all these years, and her face sank at this time, and she panicked for no reason. That pine girl is just a little more knowledgeable and not bad-hearted, but at this time, her face is also full of Haoran, and she said in a sneering voice, nothing is nothing. The eldest aunt and the second aunt glared at her, and on the day of the big day, they were embarrassed to make her faceless.

After eating a meal, everyone was full of wine and food, and they were satisfied, Zhou Bo and his party also came out of the uncle's house with their son, and after a simple salute, they went on the road again. Originally, the mother wanted to keep them for a few more days, and wanted to ask about the child, but there was no suitable and reasonable excuse, so she had to reluctantly let them go.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, the mother of the child sighed faintly in her heart, her family is not blessed after all, or she has no relationship with the legendary Zhou family.

Xue Jian was not used to sleeping with strangers at night, so he didn't rest well for two days in a row, and now he got into his own carriage, so he naturally didn't say a word, lay on Zhou Bo's lap, and fell asleep. Zhou Bo gently stroked Xue Jian's soft face with his hand, and smiled bitterly, who is the master?
