Chapter 18: Auntie

Marriage is a very cumbersome matter. Le-Wen went from inviting the media to looking at each other, then changing the stickers, and finally passing the ceremony. You won't be able to complete these procedures in less than two months. Generally, the dealer does not pay much attention to these, and there are also those who have to deal with it in three or five days. When he said this, he meant to value this family affair and value his fiancée. The more complete the ceremony, the more valuable the girl's house became.

Another reason is that he is afraid of people gossiping about Zheng Qingju. Why did you rush to marry without any rumors? You won't do anything ugly, right? There will never be a shortage of people in the world who love to chew their tongues. Therefore, it is better to be cut off from the root.

The Zheng family are all smart people, how can they not understand this truth. I feel more and more that this eldest aunt has chosen the right one. The crowd discussed again and decided on the external statement.

Zheng Laosan said happily: "If there is nothing urgent to do, I will stay tonight! ”

It's just after noon, so why don't you rush to the night? This is a rare self, and I want to stay longer. Wang Xinghua was happy in his heart, and he responded with a good voice. I thought to myself, don't say that there is no urgency, even if there is a real urgency, you can't go. He also said: "Invite all the elders of Lichang Village in the evening to reveal the matter." I'll go to the town in a while to book a table and let it be delivered, and the name will be booked, even if they make trouble tomorrow, we won't be afraid. ”

The more he was so eager to settle down, the happier Zheng Laosan became, which showed that he valued his daughter more heavily. So he said yes repeatedly.

Zheng Qingju came in with a wooden plate, on which was placed a large bowl of noodles, fried with pork belly, diced potatoes and diced carrots, spread on the snow-white noodles, which was particularly attractive. There is also a bowl of noodle soup, a plate of fried vegetables, and a plate of fried bean sprouts with meat, which are refreshing and refreshing, and attract people to salivate.

She put the food in front of Wang Xinghua and said angrily: "What's good? What do you do when you book a table? The worst table costs two taels of silver, and you don't have any drinks." We have a few rooms, and our own people have to sit at two tables, plus the invited guests, not to mention three tables. There is nothing to do in the evening, and the drinks are naturally the most expensive. In this way, it is ten taels of silver. Isn't this nonsense!" glared at Wang Xinghua, and then ordered Zheng Qingluan: "You and Wulang will go to the town in a while, buy ten catties of pork belly, ten catties of pear blossom white jar, no need to age, just freshly brewed wine." No one can drink it, they believe it when it is ten years of good wine, why waste those silver money, so that it is enough to calculate these five hundred Wen, don't forget to let the shopkeeper put up some pig's trotters and bone offal or something. Come back and buy three old hens in the village, which is another hundred wen. There is also the crucian carp that the fourth uncle brought last time, I didn't finish it, and I kept it in the water tank. In this way, there are chickens, fish, and meat, and all kinds of dishes are available in our house, and they are not more decent than the banquet they ordered. ”

She crackled in front of Wang Xinghua like this, and Wang Xinghua was directly dumbfounded. I saw that she took out a few broken silver horns from the purse on her body, one of which weighed seven or eight dollars, and stuffed it to Zheng Qingluan, "Go quickly!" and rolled her eyes at Wang Xinghua: "Eat it quickly! With that, he turned around and went out.

Zheng Qingluan wanted to stroke her forehead, the eldest sister's little temperament is really speechless! Especially in front of her fiancé for the first time, it is really embarrassing.

Zheng Laosan smiled dryly at Wang Xinghua, the corners of his mouth moved, and he really didn't know what to say.

Wang Xinghua was happy. No one has ever been so careful for him when he was a child, he was born without a mother, and his father was a big man, so he often threw the silver directly to him and let him find food by himself. Now that I just have a daughter-in-law, some people are worried about themselves, planning for themselves, and their hearts are sour and full of sourness. He stirred the noodles in disguise and said, "The oranges are good." When I was a child, no one had ever planned for me to do this. ”

Zheng Laosan thought that this was also a poor child, and his heart couldn't help but soften. It's just that they say that a son-in-law is half a son, and in the future, he will only be an extra son.

He pushed the two dishes forward and said with a smile: "Eat quickly! ”

Zheng Qingluan's teeth were sour, and the two of them were numb and unbearable. Pulled Gorou to town.

San Lang also stood up, "Dad, I'll go to the construction site and keep an eye on it." Brother-in-law, you use it slowly. I'll go over with my dad to see our new house. ”

When Zheng Qingluan and Wulang came back, Zheng Laosan had already taken his eldest aunt to show off. In the kitchen, Xiaoba is burning the fire, and Qian and Zheng Qingju are preparing steamed steamed buns, which are the staple food of the evening.

"Mother, it's better to call my fourth aunt and steam steamed buns at the fourth aunt's house. We're just cooking here. Zheng Qingluan looked busy, and it was really not easy to prepare three tables.

"It's okay!" Qian nodded, and said to the little eight in front of the stove: "Did you go to see your fourth aunt go out?" Sifang was also busy building a house, afraid that the Song family would go to the construction site.

Hachi answered and ran out.

Zheng Qingluan took things out in the same way, and Zheng Qingju looked at what he was cooking.

"Hot dishes are easy to make, but cold dishes are not easy to make. Zheng Qingju pulled a bunch of things and muttered.

"Braised the pig's head and heart, and then cut a piece of white meat into the marinade, and then cut it and put it on the plate. Qian smiled, the girl was still a little tender, and she didn't finish the table.

Zheng Qingju's eyes lit up, and he understood, "Just make cold dishes, pork head meat, white cut pig heart, garlic and white meat, this is a meat dish." The vegetarian one was mixed with enoki mushrooms, red pepper preserved eggs, chive fungus, fried peanuts, and kelp bought by Luan'er, accompanied by spicy kelp shreds. It is a good dish to accompany the wine. That's eight dishes, that's enough. The pig's ears on the pig's head, the pig's mouth is small, and it is only given to the main table. The main table has five meat and five vegetables, and ten cold dishes. Is this possible?"

Qian nodded and taught his daughter, "That's it, enoki mushrooms, preserved eggs, fungus, and peanuts are all homemade, properly arranged, and they are as decent as they are placed on the table." He asked Zheng Qingju again, "If you don't have the kelp that Luan'er bought, how can you get enough for eight dishes?"

Zheng Qingluan sat silently in front of the stove and lit the fire, knowing that this was to let him audit the housekeeping class. That's all about working and learning.

"Stir-fry the mung bean sprouts with water and mix them with raw leeks. Or stir-fry the spinach in water and mix it with sesame oil, which is also extremely sweet. Zheng Qingju calculated carefully, "Thanks to the land in the mountains, I can't find these fresh vegetables." That is, the weather has been warm these days, and the vegetables have grown. If it's a few days in the morning, I won't dare to go out and get it. ”

Qian nodded in satisfaction. Zheng Qingju said again: "There are many meat dishes for hot dishes, and the amount is sufficient, otherwise it will look simple." ”

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, Sixi meatballs, large plate of chicken, braised fish pieces, soybean stewed pig's trotters, roasted large intestine, scrambled eggs with leeks, sour and hot shredded potatoes, fried pork with bean sprouts, mapo tofu, vegetarian fried vegetables. A total of twelve hot dishes. Finally on the top of the pork lung soup. ”

"Oh! I stayed behind to hear it. Song's voice came from the courtyard, "What's going on, at lunchtime, I suddenly heard a guest at home, who is here? So saying, the man went into the kitchen.

Qian hurriedly smiled and greeted Song, "Entertain the eldest aunt!" After speaking, he looked at Zheng Qingju.

Song was very surprised, this is very sudden!

Qian sighed and told the good deeds done by the three unsuccessful nieces in the big house again, emphasizing how worried he was about delaying the eldest daughter's family affairs at that time. "I never thought that the child of the Wang family would hurry over when he heard the wind. The relationship between the two families was originally just a joke, but the child's father went three years ago, and after Luan'er's incident came out, the child's aunt in the next room, that is, the child's only elder, said that she listened to it at the time, as if she was married to our family, and it was not real. I was going to ask someone to ask, don't delay each other, I don't want to spread the words of the bastard of the Zhang family and the girl of the Zheng family, so the child of the Wang family hurriedly came over to see, what is going on? Isn't this a coincidence!"

"We only say that there is indeed a verbal covenant. Qian sighed and said to Song.

This is a statement that the family discussed, after all, Zheng Qingluan had been in prison, and Wang Xinghua didn't say that this was his sister-in-law at that time. It's better to say that Wang Xinghua didn't know before, and when Zheng Qingluan became famous, his elders said that they might have relatives. happened to be the matter of the Zhang family, and it also covered up the fact of sending the letter. Whoever asks has said the past!

"Isn't that a coincidence? The big house has become a scourge! Fortunately, this stubble can be seen, which is the blessing of our oranges. Song looked happy. asked Qian about the Wang family again, and Qian happened to have the intention of showing off his eldest son-in-law, and the two hit it off and chatted hotly!

Over there, Zheng Laosan led his son-in-law and showed off all over the village, others praised him for being "young and promising", and Zheng Laosan immediately said modestly "It still needs to be honed". Wang Xinghua looked at the smugness in the corners of his father-in-law's eyes and eyebrows, and his heart was warm. Not only did he not dislike himself, but he also felt that he had a long face in his heart, and remembered what his father-in-law said at lunch.

"In the future, I will only have one more son in the family, and I will plan for you. Your Wang family, the first generation of the catcher, is the foundation of your family. I heard that you also have a cousin in the next room, although it is one floor away, but the Wang family is left with your two brothers, if the character is said to be in the past, help each other. You teach him slowly, and you move the burden of head-hunting to him. What about you, let's think of a way to transfer you to a martial arts, whether it is a city or a provincial government, there are soldiers and horses, although it is a six-grade yamen, but it is a serious official, and the general or captain of the seventh or eighth grade, it is easy to enter the body in the future. The Terracotta Division is only responsible for the security of the city, and there is no need to suppress bandits, let alone go to the battlefield, which is similar to the work you are doing now. Don't dislike the small official position. You're still young, take your time!"

He almost burst into tears. He has worked so hard in the past few years, isn't it just to find a way to get rid of this bad skin. Unexpectedly, he not only changed a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law with a gesture of his own hands, but also made his own family expected to be among the ninth-rate officials
