144 The Song family went out to drink
Lily has the heart to talk about welcoming spring, even if she is self-motivated, she should not risk the body and bones of the little master.
The little master is fine, if she eats badly, won't she be able to eat and walk around?
To do things in a big family, the first thing is to be safe, and the second thing is to be excellent, and it is better not to be top-notch than to make mistakes.
It's just that she didn't listen to the truth, Yingchun was impatient to tell her this, and she didn't have a chance today, so she had to wait until she came home on leave another day.
Not many days later, Song Xiuxiu went out for a drink, and the Song family's relatives and neighbors came to help, and Lily was her sister-in-law, and she had to take on many things.
Niu called Lily in the first two days, which meant that all the tofu used in the banquet came out of her shop, Lily smiled and said: "Our own family, I won't say more, you will always give a capital, don't call Wenwa's father and mother a hard time." ”
It's not that she's stingy, it's really Niu's temper, this time she gave her tofu for free, and I don't know what she wants next time.
Niu angrily found dozens of money and gave them to Lily, and said in his mouth: "If you can't get in and out, why don't you suffocate to death?"
asked her if she could be a chef, and Lily told the truth: "It's okay for me to cook for a few people, but I can't take care of it if there are too many people, and I haven't gone through such a big battle, so I'm afraid it's embarrassing to really do it." ”
Niu thought that he wanted to be a talented mother-in-law, and would rather spend some money to hire a chef than be ashamed.
The chef has a rule for cooking, five cold dishes, nine large bowls, some dishes can be cured one and a half days in advance, put in a large wooden basin, eat as you go, and some dishes have to be processed one or two days in advance.
The chef knew in his heart, and supported the women who came to help, and Lily did not stand out in it, and others told her to choose the dishes, and asked her to wash the dishes, although she was tired, she didn't have to worry about it, and saved a lot of trouble.
Song Xiuxiu's going out for wine, in addition to inviting her uncle's family to open three tables separately in the hall, the rest will open five or six tables in the courtyard, and the guests who come to congratulate are divided into two seats, but they can also sit down.
The old Song family did not have extra tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, all borrowed from the neighborhood, whose things were marked and returned when they were used up.
Build a stove with yellow mud and stones in a sheltered place outside the house, and the big pot is set on top, and the fire is constantly on all day long, the hot soup is boiling, and a few stews are steaming.
There is also a big stove eye, the chef waved the frying spoon to fry the vegetables, Lily looked at the heavy spoon, glad that she didn't volunteer to take the job, the spoon alone weighed four or five pounds, and her physical strength was not able to fry all day.
Uncle's family is a distinguished guest, there are Niu's brothers, Niu's uncle's family, and Song Laohan's uncle's house, full of three tables, first serve five cold dishes for them to eat and drink, cold dishes are: braised pig ears, steamed sausages, cold celery, toon eggs and shallots mixed with tofu.
After three rounds of wine, the mothers and uncles talked about the scene, six or seven stews were put into nine bowls, a large wooden tray was served, there were stewed vegetables, stewed tofu, stewed dried beans, stewed kelp and so on, and then a pot of hot rice, soaked in stew soup and eaten.
Song Laohan accompanied the guests, Niu's was busy in the kitchen, and when he saw who was lazy, he had to knock on the side and say a few words, she was not stupid, she didn't say that people were lazy and slippery, and only scolded the two daughters-in-law: "I know how to eat, I didn't see that your fourth aunt was busy like anything, so don't help her peel garlic!"
The fourth aunt who peeled garlic understood, so she had to speed up her work, and secretly slandered Niu's family: Isn't it that the girl wants to marry Xiao Xiucai, and she will give you a good idea, and if you don't know, you will marry Zhuangyuanli yourself!
The Niu people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and their faces are full of red light, and they can't see that their beloved little son is in prison, and their daughter has fainted with anger.
But Song Xiuxiu is nowhere to be seen, why is this?
It turns out that this is the case when people get married, the bride and groom only appear when they are needed, and it doesn't matter if there is him or not at other times.
Especially on the day when she went out to drink, Song Xiuxiu couldn't go out of the house, only in her own house, talking privately with a few close friends and knocking pumpkin seeds.
Speaking of which, Song Xiuxiu didn't have two handkerchiefs in the boudoir, where could she make true friends with her temperament who sees herself as noble as a bodhisattva and others as cheap as sludge?
is that there were two who played well, but after she and Xiaoxiu got married, they slowly became estranged, first, because they were jealous that she had won the first place, and secondly, because Song Xiuxiu became more and more difficult to get along.
So there were only a few girls from the Song family who were talking to Song Xiuxiu in the house that day, and everyone was a little lukewarm and gossip casually.
They were all young girls, and when they got together and said something about clothes and jewelry, one of them said, "Xiuxiu, show us the jewelry in your dowry." It's good that she doesn't mention it, when she mentions jewelry, Song Xiuxiu is proud and resentful: she is proud that her father and mother can't help it, but she still went to the silver building in the city to buy her a few jewelry that can see people, and she is resentful that none of them can compare to the butterfly hairpin on Li Daniu's head, she can see that she wants it in her eyes
Get angry. These jewelry will be put into the dowry box and sent to the Liu family when they turn around, Song Xiuxiu also wants to show off, so she opened the box and beckoned everyone to come and see
The little girl was stunned. On this day, there were many people, and it was inconvenient for the little girls to go out, so Niu asked Dong to bring a few bowls of food to Song Xiuxiu's house. Dong's happened to come to a small day, his back hurt, and he called his mother-in-law to see it tightly, and he couldn't hide from it if he wanted to, so he scolded his sister-in-law in his heart: he went out to drink
I don't know how to pick a good day! Dong almost spit a few mouthfuls in the rice bowl and then brought it in, but fortunately, there were many people coming and going around her, and she had no choice but to serve the rice honestly, and she heard Song Xiuxiu saying bad things about the second family: "It's so proud that she looks like something, and her sister-in-law asks her something, actually."
It was like she was going to die. There is no one with a son and a half daughter, and if you save all that money, can you bring it into the coffin?"
Several girls laughed coaxily, and Dong coughed dryly: "Sisters, it's time to eat, it's good to be the second sister-in-law, you don't have to say more." ”
Song Xiuxiu sneered: "Who recognizes her as a sister-in-law?
The sister-in-law and the concubine were angry, Dong secretly wished, and said a few words with a smile, obviously persuading Song Xiuxiu, secretly not knowing how much oil to pour on the fire, Song Xiuxiu just said it so casually, and also told her that she really didn't recognize the second brother and sister-in-law.
Dong came out of the sister-in-law's house, and saw that Lily was talking and laughing with others, and she was wearing half-new clothes to work there.
"In the future, the talented lady will embarrass you, I see what you are proud of!" Dong muttered to himself.
She didn't know why she hated her so much, she just didn't like her and wanted to see her unlucky.
After eating and drinking, the Liu family's dowry was delivered, according to the customs of the countryside, just a few things, no more, no less. Everyone saw the dowry once, and they all said in their hearts: It is said that it is a Xiucai family, but it is also these things
Seeing Song Xiuxiu's dowry, I can't think like this Twenty-five acres of land, even if the rich man's family marries his daughter, he may not be able to accompany so much, this old Song family is really willing to spend money for Xiao Xiucai. In addition to the fields, there are four or five pear wood chests on the ground, all of which are full, one for freshly beaten bedding, one for clothes for the four seasons, and the rest for bits and pieces, and then there is a newly painted chest of drawers, and the door of the cabinet is painted with red lacquer with double happiness and magpie plum patterns
Clusters, beaming.
The people who look at the dowry are all staggered: it's amazing!
Song Laohan and Niu's self-conscious face was bright, so happy that they couldn't see their teeth, and the Song patriarch testified, and selected a dozen young men from his own family, and carried the dowry to the Liu family. Song Xiuxiu went out tomorrow, pretending to have to be sent over in advance.
Dong and Lily are sisters-in-law, and they want to go over to shop the house, unfold the bedding and spread it on the bed in the new house with their own hands, and say in advance on behalf of the bride if they are dissatisfied, so as not to be wronged.
Making the bed was Dong's most proud moment, and she pushed Jinbao: "Go up and roll!"
Jinbao is a male doll, the countryside is exquisite, the new bed is made, and the male doll goes up to roll, indicating that the early birth of a noble son, and the in-laws will give Jinbao a red envelope.
Jinbao was so fat that his chin was two-layered, and his flesh trembled and trembled, and everyone praised his blessings. The son wrapped the red envelope and smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a line, and Dong glanced at the lily triumphantly, meaning: I have a son, you don't even have an egg!
After drying the dowry and making the bed, and then going back to Lao Song's house, it was the turn of these people who helped today to eat, and they also served it themselves like the meals on the table, rewarding these people who had been busy all day.
An aunt of the Song family in the middle said with a smile: "My family is eating less tofu, so I should secretly take a piece of it from the kitchen." The crowd laughed.
Who knew that that night, Niu counted the kitchen and saw that a few eggs were missing, so he really went to someone's aunt's house to search for them, and said: "During the day, you said in front of everyone that you wanted my things, didn't you take it, which one?"
The aunt cried so much that she was looking for death and life, and said that she couldn't live her life, and Niu didn't even find an eggshell, so she had to go home.
Then I found out that the eggs were boiled by Dong's for Jinbao to eat, and Niu's took thieves everywhere, but he forgot to check his own house under the lamp, and lost a lot of people.
On a good day to go out for drinking, there was such a thing, and the people in the town laughed at the old Song family for being slamming the door and being unreasonable, waiting to see a good show. On normal days, you can't see such a thing.
