Chapter 110: A Lively Day
Old man Li chose a day on the seventh day of the lunar month to hold a warm house banquet, and Wang told his sons to be sure to inform everyone when they invited the villagers, not to bring gifts, just to eat and drink.
The Wang family is considering that Li Mingyi's family affairs are also coming, although the villagers are living a lot better now, but this successive gifts are always a little unbearable.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Li family was busy inside and out early in the morning, almost all the villagers of Lijia Village were invited, and the women in the village came to Li's house early to help with the work.
"Third aunt, they all said that they wouldn't accept gifts today, why did you take so much." Zhao Yunlan looked at the woman in front of her helplessly.
"Hey, it's all something that doesn't matter, just this basket of eggs." The woman responded to Zhao Yunlan's words, did not hand the basket to Zhao Yunlan, walked to the house with the diameter of the basket, accurately found the location of the kitchen, put down the basket and helped to work.
Zhao Yunlan had hired her third aunt and a few women in the village to cook for the workers who built the house, so she was almost involved in the construction of the house.
The village chief also brought a family to Li's house, each carrying bacon and sausages in their hands.
"Uncle Village Chief, come in and sit, I said that I won't let you bring Lilai, today is a lively and lively place, you talk about this, alas!" Li Mingren stood next to Zhao Yunlan and glanced at Zhao Yunlan.
Village Chief Li laughed and didn't answer Li Mingren's words, and only said: "Mingren, congratulations, congratulations, our village's first talent show." ”
Li Mingren saw that the village chief was not a child, so he could only take the village chief to sit in first, and Zhao Yunlan led the village chief's daughter-in-law into the house to put things. "Auntie, alas~ I said that I would not be allowed to bring gifts to the door." Zhao Yunlan brought up this topic again.
The village chief's daughter-in-law: "What kind of etiquette is this, don't say it." Tell me if you have anything to do. ”
In this way, Zhao Yunlan collected all kinds of agricultural products in the kitchen in the morning. Zhao Yunlan went to talk to the Wang family, and the Wang family was also helpless, so he went to thank the villagers one by one, and asked Zhao Yunlan to write down all the things that were sent.
In addition, the Wang family also invited the eldest brother of Dawang Village and the Zhao family.
"Little sister, the bitterness is coming." Wang Dalong looked at his sister in front of him and the newly built house, and choked up.
Wang Cuifen: "Eldest brother, sister-in-law, sit in the house when it's cold and say, I have to stay for one night tonight." ”
Hu Xiu: "Shuming, Shude, give your sister-in-law something to move in." ”
Wang: "Sister-in-law, why do you bring so much." ”
Hu Xiu: "It's all what you loved to eat before, and I brought it to you specially for you." ”
Wang held Hu Xiu's hand: "It's still my sister-in-law who hurts people." ”
Hu Xiu patted Wang's hand: "But it's all planted by your eldest brother!" Still in you now everything is fine. ”
As soon as the Wang family led the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family into the house, the Zhao family came.
Li Mingren saluted one by one: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law, younger brother." Come inside and sit down with a cup of hot tea to warm up. ”
Zhao Yunlan had just gone to the kitchen to get busy, and when she heard that her mother's family was coming, she hurried to the front hall to meet people.
Jiang was talking politely to Wang, when he heard Zhao Yunlan shouting: "Dad, mother, you are here!" ”
Jiang: "You girl, run slowly, what's in a hurry." ”
Zhao Yunlan said coquettishly: "Isn't this missing you!" ”
Jiang Shi took out a set of four treasures of the study, "This is a gift for my son-in-law to be admitted to Xiucai, we don't understand this ink, paper inkstone, this is your brother's choice." ”
Li Mingren: "Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law, this is a good pen at first glance, my mother-in-law has bothered, and my little brother has worked hard." ”
Zhao Yuncheng smiled: "Congratulations to my brother-in-law for being admitted to Xiucai." ”
Jiang Shi turned his head to Wang and continued: "Mother-in-law, there are no good things to deliver, Yun Song took the leader to the kitchen. ”
Wang: "Ouch, mother-in-law, you're breaking the bank." Yuhua, the room in the backyard is also warm, take Niuniu to the backyard, there are few people there. ”
Huang Yuhua nodded, and Li Mingmei took Huang Yuhua to the backyard. Little Poco liked this little sister and went to the backyard with her.
In the past, the village banquets were all gathered together to eat, drink and chat, and there was no division between men and women in the front yard and the back yard, so Zhao Yunlan did not distinguish this time, and most of the places for eating were arranged in the front yard.
Some tables were also arranged in the backyard, mainly waiting for Old Lady Liu and Shopkeeper Wu to come over.
Zhao Yunlan didn't expect that Governor Liu would also follow Old Lady Liu. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren stood at the door to greet them, both stunned.
Governor Liu laughed: "What can be written on your invitation is to let my father bring the whole family together!" ”
Old Madam Wang glared at Liu Yuanzhan.
Zhao Yunlan came back to her senses and took Mrs. Liu's family of three inside, and the Wang family and Old Man Li probably knew the origin of the Liu family, so they hurriedly came out to greet them.
Old Lady Liu smiled kindly: "Brother Li, I'm here to drink today." ”
Old man Li looked at Li Mingren's nervous tongue and was a little knotted: "Liu, Brother Liu is here to make this... What a glow. ”
Li Mingzhi said beside him: "Dad, it's Pengsheng Shengshi!" ”
Old man Li glared at Li Mingming.
Old lady Liu laughed: "It's serious!" ”
Li Mingren: "Old lady, old lady, go have a cup of tea in the backyard and rest." ”
Li Mingren accompanied him to the backyard, and Mrs. Liu did not forget the homework of Li Mingren during this period of the school exam.
Li Mingren was nervous.
When Wang met Mrs. Wang, the two Mrs. Wang seemed to be familiar with each other, and they chatted more and more energetically when they walked behind.
After arranging the Liu family to go to the backyard, the Wang family's maiden family and the Zhao family also went to the backyard together. Zhao Yunlan found that there were quite a lot of people coming today, thanks to the good weather today, otherwise it would be a mess if there were too many people.
There were Li Mingmei and Zhang Xia staring at the kitchen, and Zhao Yunlan could also take time to check on the guests, and check whether the tables and chairs were enough. Except for the time when the Zhao family came to sit down and rest, they didn't stop all morning.
Shopkeeper Wu brought Wu Yanwei and Zhu Yue to the Li family, because the wedding date was approaching, Wu Yi did not come. Li Mingyi went to the entrance of the village from time to time to look at the Wu family's carriage, and finally waited until people entered the door, and he was relieved.
Zhao Yunlan came out to see the shopkeeper Wu, Li Mingyi took the Wu family to the backyard, and the front yard and the backyard were lively.
When the dishes in the kitchen were ready, the brothers of the Li family also went to the cellar to move the wine out, Zhao Yunlan took Zhang Xia and Li Mingmei to serve the food, and the women in the village also listened to Zhao Yunlan's command, and the four brothers of the Li family plus Ye Min and Deng Yong were responsible for maintaining order, and arranged for the big guys to sit down and pour wine for everyone.
Li Mingzhi set off firecrackers, and the Li family began to beckon everyone to eat and drink.
Zhao Yunlan prepared enough meals today, thinking that she could let the big guys eat and drink to their heart's content.
It was the first time that the shopkeeper Wu had eaten at Li's house, and he ate several dishes made by Zhao Yunlan in a row, thinking that it was impossible to make a mistake with this cooking skill to open a restaurant.
Mrs. Liu also likes the Li family's food, after all, Mrs. Liu has also tasted Zhao Yunlan's cooking.
After being full of wine and food, Mrs. Liu was the first to say goodbye, after all, there is a son who is an official, it is always inconvenient, and I thought that next time I can't take Liu Yuan to the exhibition door, otherwise I won't have a lot of fun.
Liu Yuanzhan was not recognized by the villagers, but Zhao Yunlan's family was always a little restrained.
Shopkeeper Wu watched the Liu family leave, and he didn't stay long, after all, the two families will be married in a few days, and there are still a lot of things to do at home.
The villagers helped the Li family clean up the tables and chairs and went home, Zhao Yunlan saw that there were still some leftovers, all of which were uneaten meat, so she asked the woman who came to help in the morning to pack them and take them back.
The Li family now left the Wang family and the Zhao family, and the three families sat together in the house, eating snacks and chatting.
Now that there are more houses, it is convenient to keep people in them.
