Chapter 68‖ Jia Dongxu marries
It is said that since Zheng's mother went to the hospital, Zheng Zhendong began to live with his sister every day.
The next day, Zheng Zhendong went to school to spend his vacation, and the head teacher, Mr. Wu, asked about the situation even more with concern.
After Zheng Zhendong's explanation, Mr. Wu first expressed sympathy for the Zheng family's plight, and then asked if there was anything he could do to help.
Zheng Zhendong was very grateful to Mr. Wu for his concern, but after thinking about helping, he still forgot it.
Teacher Wu saw that Zheng Zhendong was resolute, so he asked him to go back to class.
In this way, Zheng Zhendong began his study career again.
After school on Saturday, Zheng Zhendong saw that the neighbors in the courtyard were talking, so he asked Aunt Wang curiously.
"Aunt Wang, what's wrong with our hospital, what are you talking about?"
"Dongzi, are you back from school?"
Aunt Wang, who was chatting with her neighbors, saw that it was Zheng Zhendong who was asking, and hurriedly greeted her warmly, and then said.
"It's not Jia Dongxu who gets married tomorrow and posts a few neighbors in the courtyard, everyone, everyone is curious about what's going on!
You said that this Jia Dongxu got married quietly, and everyone hasn't figured it out yet! ”
After Zheng Zhendong heard this, he nodded knowingly, thinking of the relationship between his family and Lao Jia's family, it was better not to participate, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhendong was about to go home to cook, so he greeted the neighbors and walked back without walking a few steps.
At this time, Jia Zhang walked out of home with a smile on his face.
Seeing so many neighbors in the yard, he hurriedly said to everyone.
"Everyone is here, sister-in-law Wang, Lao Yi's family, Lao Yan's family......
After saying hello round, Jia Zhang continued.
"Tomorrow my Dongxu will get married, you are all old neighbors, you must come to cheer!"
Hearing what Jia Zhang said, the neighbors had no choice but to agree, and at this time, Yang Ruihua, the third mother, asked.
"Dongxu's mother, tomorrow Dongxu gets married, where is the new daughter-in-law? Dongxu came to deliver the invitation before, and I forgot to ask him! ”
Hearing the three mothers ask, Jia Zhang's smile did not decrease but increased, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Hey, if you want to say that Dongxu's daughter-in-law is really not an outsider, she is my niece who has not come out of five clothes.
The big name is Zhang Yumei, she is 18 years old this year, not only is she handsome, but she is also a good hand at the work inside and out!
The last time I went back to my hometown, I fell in love at a glance, and I came back to tell Dongxu!
At first, I didn't agree, but I don't know what happened these days, but I suddenly agreed!
No, I've been tossing back and forth for the past few days, and I've finally settled the matter! ”
After listening to Jia Zhang's words, everyone said hello to her, and an aunt even said.
"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, this daughter-in-law you are looking for is okay! My niece, at least the relationship between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future can't be wrong! ”
……
Zheng Zhendong listened to a few words by the way, and then went home to cook.
As soon as she returned home, her little sister Zheng Xinyi asked.
"Third brother, what are we going to eat tonight? I don't want to eat wowotou, you can make something delicious! ”
Looking at his sister and looking at him with a look of longing, Zheng Zhendong asked.
"Little sister, what do you want to eat? We don't have any meat at home, why don't the third brother make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes and some noodles, how about it? ”
Zheng Xinyi thought about it and said with a little disappointment.
"Well, although I still want to eat meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are fine, at least better than pickles with wotou!"
Hearing that the little sister Zheng Xinyi reluctantly agreed, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly started cooking.
Because of the season, tomatoes are bought in September, washed and cut into pieces, and stored in glass bottles.
So the texture of the tomatoes is a little worse, but the taste is okay, at least stronger than pickles.
Zheng Zhendong took three eggs, knocked them into a bowl, then put a little salt, and then stirred the eggs with chopsticks.
Chopped green onions, minced ginger and garlic and set aside.
Zheng Zhendong sat the wok on the stove, waited for the pot to heat up, poured in soybean oil, and when the oil temperature was seventy percent hot, poured in the eggs and stir-fried quickly.
Once the scrambled eggs are set, place them in a bowl and pour in a small amount of soybean oil again.
Add chopped green onion and minced ginger, stir-fry a few times, wait for the fragrance to come out, pour in the tomatoes, stir-fry a few times, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt, and stir-fry a few more times.
Wait for the tomatoes in the pan, stir-fry the soup, pour in the freshly scrambled eggs, and stir-fry a few times.
After a little simmering, put some sugar and vinegar, and finally add garlic, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, etc., stir a few times, and put the dish on a plate.
Zheng Zhendong put the dishes on the dining table, poured hot water into the pot, waited for the water to boil, put in the noodles, waited for a few minutes, saw that the noodles were cooked, and put some salt.
Then, Zheng Xinyi shouted to Zheng Xinyi, who was doing her homework.
"Little sister, don't do your homework yet, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner, I'll give you a lecture after dinner."
Zheng Xinyi put down the pencil in her hand, quickly ran to the washbasin, and began to wash her hands, snorting while washing.
"Third brother, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes you made are so fragrant, oops, I smelled it when I did the question just now, I guess it should taste delicious, right?"
After listening to his sister's words, Zheng Zhendong said in his heart, this is the practice of later generations, where are people in this era willing to put oil twice, most of them are fried in one pot, can it be the same!
While holding the noodles, Zheng Zhendong said.
"It's delicious or not, you'll know if you taste it in a while, hurry up and come over for dinner!"
Zheng Xinyi dried her hands and helped Zheng Zhendong bring the noodles to the table, and the two began to eat.
At the beginning, the little sister Zheng Xinyi just picked it up and tasted it, but after eating a few bites, she quickly and continuously sandwiched the vegetables.
After a while, a large plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was eaten by her, and she said unfinished eating.
"Third brother, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes you made are so delicious, I'll eat them next time!"
Zheng Zhendong drank the noodles in the bowl before he said dotingly.
"Okay, next time the third brother will do it for you, make more for you, let you eat to your heart's content, I'll clean up, you go and do your homework!"
Zheng Zhendong cleaned up and began to tutor his sister with homework while doing homework.
After the two of them finished their homework, they soaked their feet in hot water, and then went back to the house to sleep.
When I got up early the next morning and came to the yard, I saw that the Jia family had already started to get busy.
Because He Daqing ran away, Jia Zhang's craftsmanship was not very assured of the stupid pillar's craftsmanship, and he found a cook from outside.
A few neighbor aunts who came to help let the new cook turn around.
The cook, on the other hand, was sitting by the newly built stove, leisurely drinking tea.
The time slowly came to about 10:30 in the morning, and the three uncles were also invited by Jia Zhang's to come to the platform.
Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, is responsible for the overall planning of the work.
In the bangs of the second uncle, he was arranged by Yi Zhonghai to be sent to entertain guests.
The third grandfather, Yan Bugui, was responsible for bookkeeping, and the other idle and bored neighbors were also arranged by Yi Zhonghai to carry the work.
At this time, some people came one after another, Lou Ji Iron and Steel Works workers.
After entering the door, he was led by Liu Haizhong to salute in front of Yan Bugui.
The neighbors in the courtyard also followed suit when they saw the workers of the steel mill salute.
However, whether it is a worker or a neighbor in the yard, the gift money is not very much, basically 10,000 yuan.
Only Yi Zhonghai followed 50,000 and bangs 20,000.
After Yan Bugui followed 10,000 yuan, his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife, and he vowed to eat it at noon today.
At about 11 o'clock at noon, Jia Dongxu finally took his daughter-in-law and returned to the gate of the courtyard.
I saw it in the bangs of the greeting guests, and hurriedly arranged it.
"Haimin, hurry up and fire the cannon, Dongxu is back with his daughter-in-law!"
Liu Haimin, who was listening and drinking on the side, hurriedly lit the firecrackers, and after a while, he just listened.
"Bang, 𠳐, 𠳐, 𠳐......"
crackling, Jia Dongxu took advantage of the sound of firecrackers and hurriedly carried his daughter-in-law into the courtyard and went home.
Then the worship began, Jia Zhang sat on the chair, looked at the kowtowing son and daughter-in-law, and his heart blossomed.
Glancing at it again, Jia Fugui, who was sitting on the chair, sighed inexplicably in his heart.
After the ceremony was over, Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai came to Yan Bugui together and asked.
"His third master, how much gift money did you receive today, you read the gift book to me, I think who is with the gift, how much money is with?"
Yan Bugui picked up the gift book and read it in a low voice to Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai.
Jia Zhang's brows furrowed after listening to a few, and the further he listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and while listening, he was still muttering in a small voice.
"With so much money, and dragging my family to eat, my family's life can't pass? ……”
Hearing the end, I couldn't help but ask Yan Bugui.
"His third master, why didn't I hear the Zheng family's courtesy, or did you remember it?"
Yan Bugui hurriedly explained when he heard this.
"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, don't talk nonsense, I don't dare to say it next to Yan Bugui, just keep the account, can I make a mistake for you?
You look down on me too much, I don't believe you ask everyone, this Zheng family didn't come to the ceremony, how could it be that I remembered wrong! ”
When Jia Zhang heard Yan Bugui say this, he was extremely angry in his heart, and thought that today was his son's big day, so he didn't want to scold, so he said to Yi Zhonghai next to him.
"Uncle He, what do they mean by the Zheng family, doesn't this look down on our Jia family? You must call the shots for us! ”
When Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Zhang's words, he only felt that his head was too big, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, don't make trouble, today is Dongxu's big day!
There are so many relatives and friends in the courtyard, if you make a fuss at this time, what will everyone think of Dongxu in the future? ”
Jia Zhang listened to Yi Zhonghai's words, but stopped, but still said indignantly.
"Okay, he is an uncle, I listen to you, let him go today, if it is put on the usual day, you see, I won't scold him and die!"
Yan Bugui, who was sitting in the bookkeeper, spoke at this time.
"Lao Yi, sister-in-law of the Jia family, you were inside just now, I didn't see it, Dongzi went out with his sister!
When I left, I asked where to go, and Dongzi said to me, his grandfather has something to do with him today, let him go, don't you take your sister with you!
So, sister-in-law of the Jia family, even if you make trouble today, there is no one in the Zheng family, you are in vain, you are not making trouble, and you will be embarrassed, why bother? ”
As soon as Jia Zhang heard this, he was like a deflated ball, and his whole body wilted, and he spoke after a while.
"Okay, his third uncle, my family's marriage today, I'm sorry for you!
It's a banquet in a while, I'll let my family Dongxu toast you a few more glasses! ”
The three of them talked for a while, and Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang went to the temporary kitchen.
The two saw that the dishes they had prepared were almost done, and after discussing it, Yi Zhonghai began to ask people to lift the table, put a bench, and arrange for everyone to be seated.
After everyone was seated, they began to let the cooks serve the food and wine.
Everyone, as soon as they saw that they began to serve food and wine, they began to scramble one by one.
After a while, the dishes that had just been served were snatched up by everyone.
The cooks saw that there were no dishes on the table, and a few dishes were served one after another, and everyone restrained a little.
After a while, Jia Dongxu led his new daughter-in-law and began to toast each table.
There were a total of ten tables of guests, and Jia Dongxu was drunk before he finished seven tables.
Yi Zhonghai looked at it from the side, Jia Dongxu was drunk like this, and hurriedly asked someone to help him back and take a rest.
and apologized again and again to the guests who did not toast, and everyone didn't say anything when they saw the situation.
The time flickered to half past two in the afternoon, and at this time, the kitchen dishes were finished, and everyone had almost eaten, so they got up one after another to say goodbye and went home.
When the guests were almost gone, Yi Zhonghai arranged for people to send the tables, chairs and benches back to each house.
Then the three uncles followed Jia Zhang's to the inner bedroom.
The three uncles first said hello to Jia Fugui who was paralyzed on the bed, and then began to settle the account.
Yan Bugui took out the gift book and the bag containing the money, and said to a few people.
"My account and money here are here, let's do the math together!"
Yi Zhonghai took the account book, read it to Jia Fugui and Jia Zhang, and finally took out the money from the bag and counted it.
Finally, determine the amount of money in the gift book, which is exactly the same as the money in the bag.
The three uncles drank a pot of tea at Jia's house, and after chatting a few more words, they went out together.
After the three of them left, the old couple of the Jia family carefully calculated again.
In the end, I found that not only did I not make money today, but I still lost a lot, and the husband and wife combined, and finally calculated that they lost more than 500,000 yuan.
The two frowned and whispered a few curses to their neighbors in the courtyard and the workers of the steel factory.
At this time, the new daughter-in-law, Zhang Yumei, pushed open the door of the inner bedroom and spoke.
"Dad, Mom, Dongxu drank too much today, I just finished wiping the dirt on his face, do you have any other instructions?"
Jia Fugui and his family couldn't help but be happy when they looked at their newly married daughter-in-law.
Jia Zhang said with a smile.
"Yumei, my father and mother have nothing to do, please trouble you, as long as you take care of Dongxu, you don't have to worry about other things!"
The new daughter-in-law, Zhang Yumei, first poured a glass of water for Jia Fugui and his family, and then said.
"That's fine, Dad, Mom! If you have something to do, call me, I'll take care of Dongxu first! ”
After saying this, Zhang Yumei put down the thermos in her hand, walked out of the inner bedroom, and continued to take care of Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the bed outside.
