Chapter Forty-Eight: Greetings

Shen Chi heard the interface and said: "Grandma, what are you talking about, your health is more important than anything else, it's okay if you don't watch TV, when grandma is well, let's buy a TV." ”

Sun Tao's face furrowed, and he said to Shen Chi and them: "I'll go back and ask my dad to bring my TV to my house." ”

Shen Chi grabbed him: "You really plan to settle down in my house, bear with me for the past few days, let's continue to study." ”

said and went back to the room with Sun Tao.

Since Shen Chi and their TV watching turmoil, Gui Shuzhen has also obviously felt that her family has been excluded and isolated in Qishan Village.

For example, when she went to the river to wash clothes, it was clear that everyone was chatting enthusiastically before she went, but as soon as she went, everyone stopped humming, and she took the initiative to greet people, and people also looked like they loved to ignore her.

At dinner in the evening, Gui Shuzhen told her about it, but Shen Changlin remained silent with an ugly face, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Shen Chi still saw it: "Those people ignore it, let's just live our own lives." Let's make our lives prosperous, and those people will naturally stick up. ”

Hu Shi said with a smile on his face: "It's still Xiao Chi who can see it thoroughly, we are not as good as a child." ”

Shen Changlin thought about it, so he followed Sun Fuqiang even harder to run the vegetable business to make money.

As soon as the winter solstice in the countryside passes, every household begins to kill New Year's pigs, pickle preserved fish and bacon, and prepare for the New Year.

In previous years, at this time of the year, any family that killed New Year's pigs would call Shen Chi's family, but this year, none of them called their family, Shen Chi didn't care about this, but his mother loved to nag about it.

Thinking about it, Shen Changlin went out to run business, and she was the only one who stayed in the village all day long, and she was the easiest to feel this kind of atmosphere, and Shen Chi had to comfort her mother again.

On this day, Sun Tao's father Sun Fuqiang sent ten catties of pork belly and four large grass carp to Shen Chi's family.

"Changlin, you should take this fish and marinate it." Sun Fuqiang carried the fish into the courtyard and walked aside.

"Fuqiang, what are you doing here?" Shen Changlin is already very grateful to Sun Fuqiang for taking him to do business, how can he accept the gift from him again?

Sun Fuqiang said very skillfully: "My fish and meat are not for you, I bought them for Xiao Chi." With his help, my Taozi got a double perfect score in the exam this year, and even got the certificate of merit from the three good students, and these fish and meat are my thank you gifts. ”

As soon as he said this, Shen Changlin didn't want to refuse anymore, and the Hu family came out and said to Sun Fuqiang: "My Xiaochi and your Xiaotao get along, and it is also appropriate to help each other, don't see each other like this next time." ”

"No, auntie, but I have a reluctant request that requires your consent." Sun Fuqiang didn't know what he was thinking, and smiled at Hu and Shen Changlin.

"Say anything." Shen Changlin said generously.

"I really like your Xiaochi, I want to accept him as my godson, and I hope you don't think I'm high."

Shen Chi, who was in the house, immediately had a black line when he heard this, he knew that Sun Fuqiang was trying to help Sun Tao more in his studies, but he could make up for himself with a godfather, which Shen Chi never thought of anyway.

After hearing this, Hu Shi and Shen Changlin both agreed with Sun Fuqiang's request, and said that they had climbed high.

The two sides looked at the days and planned to hold a wine on the day of the New Year, just like that, without the consent of Shen Chi himself, his grandmother and father found him a godfather again.

It was agreed that Sun Fuqiang wanted to take Sun Tao back, but Sun Tao said: "I still have a little left in the course, and I will go back in a few days." ”

Sun Fuqiang saw that there were still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, so he did not urge him.

After the winter solstice, there are more and more people playing New Year's goods, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, Shen Changlin followed Sun Fuqiang to the county seat a few times, and the day before the New Year, Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen went to the town early in the morning to buy dishes for tomorrow's banquet, and the two made difficulties when ordering how many tables.

Shen Chi worships his godfather, the people of Qishan Village and Tangsun Village must be invited, Shen Changlin of Tangsun Village booked ten tables, but the people of Qishan Village were not very happy with everyone because of Shen Changlin's refusal to take people, and they were afraid that others would not come to buy too much food and waste.

In the end, it was Hu Shi who clapped and said: "It is someone else's business whether others come or not, let's first do the etiquette in place." come, let's keep this friendship in mind, if we don't come, what will they have in the future, and if we don't go, others won't blame us. ”

"That being said, fish is a lot of money, especially this meat, and when spring comes, our pigs can be slaughtered, and it's a waste to buy too much." Shen Changlin said with a frown.

"Whoever comes and who doesn't come will know that our family is not going to borrow tables, benches and plates? If you don't borrow it, you won't come. Shen Chi said with an idea.

At this time, the rural wine is not like going directly to the hotel later, at this time, the chef is also the owner to bring his own tables, chairs, benches and pots and pans, and when he encounters a happy event, he needs to borrow tables, benches and plates for dishes from door to door.

Shen Changlin thought that what Shen Chi said was very reasonable, so he and Gui Shuzhen went door-to-door to borrow tables and plates, and as a result, a few families such as Grandpa Yuan San borrowed them.

With the bottom in his heart, Shen Changlin also looks good at the dishes and dishes.

The rest of the tables and plates waited for Shen Changlin to tell Sun Fuqiang, and Sun Fuqiang borrowed them from their village that afternoon and sent them to Shen Changlin.

Anyway, it's going to be the New Year, Shen Changlin simply fried out the meatballs and other New Year's dishes, and was busy with Hu Shi and Gui Shuzhen until midnight.

Sun Tao and Shen Fang didn't go to sleep either, they were so excited that they ran before and after running like the New Year, this atmosphere also infected Shen Chi, and he couldn't help but sigh that it had been half a year since he was reborn and came back, and time passed so fast.

Knowing that Shen Changlin's purchase of hands was jealous of the people in the village, this would definitely be a shortage of manpower, Sun Fuqiang took the girl and daughter-in-law to Shen Chi's house early in the morning, and Liu Cuihua even organized seven or eight women with quick hands and feet to go to the kitchen to help Shen Changlin, and Shen Changlin was grateful to Sun Fuqiang.

Because Shen Changlin wanted to be in charge, the hospitality was handed over to Gui Shuzhen and the Hu family. The people from Tangsun Village hadn't arrived at this time, Shen Changlin asked Sun Fuqiang, and the people from their village were entertained by him.

After nine o'clock, Grandpa Yuan's family arrived, and then several other families in Qishan Village also came to Shen Chi's house one after another.

Hu Shi and Gui Shuzhen hurriedly invited the Hakka people into the house, and soon the sound of a walk-behind tractor came from outside the courtyard, and it was the people from Tangsun Village who also arrived, full of four hands, nearly 100 people.

For a while, the courtyard of Shen Chi's house was very lively, and those people from Qishan Village who did not come were watching from a distance, occasionally saying a few sour words.

Shen Changlin worked hard all morning, and finally fried all the dishes, officially opened the banquet, and Liu Cuihua led people to start serving. The people of Tangsun Village immediately joked: "Sister-in-law Cuihua is worthy of being a godmother, so she began to take the initiative to work." ”
