The lunch meal was, of course, arranged at Xu Shiyan's house.

Xue Xiulin, Wei Mingrong, Wu Qiuyan, these concubines all came, and even Chen Chunling, Xu Shixiang's object, also came to help with the work.

Su Anying has been pregnant for more than five months, holding her belly, her body is a little stupid, she can't do anything, and Zhou Guilan is Zhang Luo inside and out.

In the courtyard of the Xu family, a pot stove was built, and most of Fei Chai He's dishes were made outside.

The two pots in the house are not idle, all kinds of frying and frying, and the aroma is wafting.

It's already hot in the summer, and if you stir-fry and cook in the house, it's even more stuffy.

And there are a lot of people who come to help, and the east and west houses can't be opened.

Su Anying discussed with Zhou Guilan, and simply set up a table in the courtyard.

Originally, there were a few grape vines in this garden, but Xu Shiyan stook a few more last year, and the poles of the grape trellis were just on the roof.

The vines were growing vigorously, and they all climbed up to the roof of the house, covering the yard, and it was quite shady.

So, in the courtyard, tables and chairs were set up and food was served.

Pork ribs stewed with beans, pork head, cucumber with pig ears, shredded pork heart with shredded green onions, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried peppers with meat, eggplant with minced meat, tomatoes with sugar.

Among the eight dishes, except for the tomatoes mixed with sugar, the rest have meat, which is hard enough.

The dishes are all good, the wine is also served, there are two bottles on each table, and the snow-white rice is still simmering in the big pot over there.

That rice is naturally the fine grain that Xu Shiqin supplies every month, and he has been saving for several months.

Except for Xu Haiyuan, no one was willing to eat a little, and they all kept it for today's hospitality.

As soon as the pot is opened, the aroma of rice hits the nose, who is not hungry?

Eight dishes, rice, this is already a very high standard, whether it is the helper or Lin Jian's workers, they are all happy to see this meal.

"Third brother, okay, it's all rice, hey, it's so fragrant."

Zhao Jianshe took a deep breath, closed his eyes and savored it, and praised,

"It's good to have workers at home, and you can still eat rice.

If you don't say it's the third brother, these two heads of ten big houses, all bricks, look rare. ”

Yang Chunming and the others also echoed, and the big guys laughed loudly.

Xu Shiyan hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down and eat, and everyone didn't care about those, they each found familiar people to make a bunch, talking, laughing, eating and drinking.

Overhead, the grape trellises shelter from the scorching sun, leaving a cool patch.

From time to time, a gust of wind blows, bringing a burst of comfort, and in front of you, there is wine and delicacies.

Around him, there is laughter and laughter, who is not happy in such an atmosphere?

Building a house on the beam is a big event, but also a happy event, regardless of relatives and friends, everyone is full of smiles, congratulating Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan together.

"In-laws, you have to be blessed, look at it, five big brick houses, this is the beam.

Waiting for everything to be cleaned up inside and out, and moving in in the fall, how comfortable it is. ”

The older people gathered at the table, and Su Weizhong had to congratulate Xu Chenghou.

The family built a house, of course Xu Chenghou had to come back, and there were people working in the mountains who helped to watch it.

The new planting is so good, no one cares about it, and it is not worth it.

In the evening, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan will just go back and watch.

"That's not what your uncle is capable of? If there was no third child, where would I dare to build such a big house, and it was all bricks? I don't dare to think about it. ”

The beauty in Xu Chenghou's heart, after living to the age of sixty, he can finally live in a spacious and bright tiled house, and he will not lose money in this life.

"Before, I really didn't like San'er.

I think he's too boring, he can't make a fart with three sticks, and he grinds and chirps everything he does all day.

But who would have thought that among these five sons, there is still the third child.

You see how he is doing now, with five big tiled houses on the floor, and three houses on this side, and two pigs on the other side.

He watched ginseng in the mountains, and he could hunt and release the mountains, really, no one could compare to him in these few places. ”

Xu Chenghou drank a little wine, and praised his third son with the strength of the wine.

"Yes, you are now with San'er, you moved out of the big house, changed to the Donggang Second Brigade, earned a lot of work, and built five tiled houses.

It's not San'er, you're still living in your adobe house in a big house. ”

On the side, Zhao Dahai, who also rushed over to help, couldn't help but complain with a wine glass.

"I couldn't look down on San'er at the beginning, but now what's going on? Isn't it good for you to have three sons and two sons? ”

How many years have they been, and they don't care much when they speak, Zhao Dahai deliberately poked Xu Chenghou's sore spot.

Xu Chenghou didn't care, just laughed there, "Yes, so people can't just look at it for a while."

Who would have thought that the sick third son of our family could be so prosperous today? ”

Xu Cheng smiled proudly, his life has been worth it so far.

I have eaten, drank, and played, I have been rich and poor, I have mixed when I was young, and I have daughters and daughters when I am old, and my sons and daughters-in-law are still filial.

People have everything they should have in this life, and they are content.

"Got all your beautiful snot bubbles out. Hurry up, drink, and don't show off there. ”

Zhao Dahai looked at Xu Chenghou's proud appearance, and he couldn't be envious, so he could only find Xu Chenghou to drink.

"Old Yu, come, let's have a drink together, I also envy you, you have a talent."

Speaking of envy, Zhao Dahai is not only envious of Xu Chenghou, but he is even more envious of Yu Shouguang.

Originally, Xu Shiyan should have been the pride of the Dongjiang River, but now it is good to let Yu Shouguang pick up a ready-made.

This is fate, it is really enviable, jealous and hateful.

Yu Shouguang was chatting and drinking with people with a smile, and was stunned when he heard this, then he understood, and quickly touched the cup with Zhao Dahai.

"That is, Xiao Xu can come to our second team, that's when I picked up the treasure.

Xiao Xu is a talent, talent should not be buried, it has to be treated well, you say? ”

Yu Shouguang said this on purpose.

At the beginning, Xu Shiyan's experience in the Dongjiang Brigade, Yu Shouguang also heard about it, and he was unhappy for Xu Shiyan from the bottom of his heart.

Such a talent, the group of fools along the Dongjiang River don't know how to cherish it, and they squeezed people away, and now they regret it, it's too late, right?

The meaning of Yu Shouguang's words, how could Zhao Dahai not understand, but what could he say?

The Dongjiang River was ruined by Hu Liancheng's gang, and now many people are thinking about moving out, even Zhao Dahai's own son has moved out, what else are you talking about?

"Come, drink, drink." Drink bars, there is everything in the wine, and it is useless to say so much.

Good wine and good food are in front of you, what are you doing so much? Eat and drink, and we'll talk about the rest later.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, drank and punched, and for a while, in the courtyard of the Xu family, there was continuous laughter and laughter, which was particularly lively.

Small kiosk

The men ate outside, and the women set a table on the floor of the East House.

The radio is on, the local station plays opera, and it feels good to listen to the opera while eating.

"Now insert a piece of news, at about half past one o'clock at noon today, a gas explosion occurred in the Da'an Coal Mine in Fusong, seven people were killed on the spot, and two were seriously injured."

While eating, such a news suddenly came out on the radio, and everyone in the room who was eating was dumbfounded.

"It's a shame that the third child refused to go to the Da'an Coal Mine at the beginning, otherwise, it would be a mess."

Zhou Guilan was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and muttered in her mouth.
