After returning home, Uncle Tang put down the basket and said, "Ping'er, you and Erfeng will rest, and I will call Brother Jin and them to come over to discuss things."

Xu Hongping replied: You go and call, I'll go wash the vegetables.

"Mom, you sit here, I'll wash the vegetables." Erfeng called:

"Erfeng, you go and heat up those leftovers." Xu Hongping shouted:

"Dad, I'll go with you." Stone shouted:

"No, no, I'll just go." Uncle Tang lifted his foot and replied:

Erfeng said: Mom, there are not many leftovers in the morning, I'm afraid it won't be enough.

Xu Hongping continued: Whether it is enough or not, let's make do with it, it's afternoon now, and it's important for us to prepare dinner.

Erfeng moved around and replied: I went.

The stone asked, "Mom, what am I going to do?"

Xu Hongping said: You pick up the dishes on the burden.

The stone picked up the basket and was about to go.

Xu Hongping shouted: Stones, there are melon seeds, apples and the like in the basket, you take some out of it.

The stone lowered the basket and carefully turned over the basket.

Xu Hongping patted her head and called: Look at my head, at this age, it will be lost.

If yes, later!

Shi said: Mom, you work too hard for me and Sister Erfeng, and it is not surprising that this situation occasionally occurs.

Xu Hongping said: Stone, you can say such things, I am very happy in my heart.

From now on, Erfeng is your daughter-in-law, you have to treat her well, you are happy······

The stone promised: I promise to be good to Sister Erfeng.

Xu Hongping hurriedly said: You are a person worthy of being entrusted with life, and you will not fail our Erfeng.

However, I hope you will walk the talk.

Stone please: Please rest assured!

Xu Hongping pushed the apple and responded: I will hand over Erfeng to you, I can rest assured.

The stone said, "Mom, can I put these candies on the table?"

Xu Hongping replied: You can just put a bag on the table.

The stone placed the candy and called: Is this enough!

Xu Hongping glanced at the table and replied: Enough, enough.

"You pick the basket into the kitchen, I'm going to wash the vegetables." Xu Hongping continued:

The stone picked up the basket and gradually walked into the kitchen.

Xu Hongping followed one after another.

"Sister Erfeng, have you warmed up the meal!" The stone walked into the kitchen and called:

Erfeng said: It's almost good.

"Stone, you put the basket here, it's better to wash vegetables here." Xu Hongping shouted:

The stone took two steps back and said, "What's going on here!"

Xu Hongping shouted: You put it down, let it go.

And the stone lay the basket and took out the pole.

"Stone, you go and carry the water." Xu Hongping shouted:

Shi put down the flat pole in his hand, took a hook flat pole, and said: I will go immediately.

Erfeng said: Stone, you go and come back quickly, the food is stuffy in the pot.

The stone picked up the bucket and answered: Got it.

Xu Hongping called: Erfeng, you bring these two buckets over and go and separate the water······

"Mom, you also need a bucket to wash vegetables, and I'll carry a bucket to fill the water······" Er Feng shouted:

"Silly daughter, I wash the vegetables, it's nothing more than some rotten vegetable leaves, I'll take a small bucket to replace it, there is a big bucket of water, if you pick it with a flat shoulder, it will save a lot of effort." Xu Hongping interrupted:

Erfeng scooped up the water and said, "Mom, I'm going to feed the pigs first."

Xu Hongping argued: The stone is coming back soon, you let the stone!

Erfeng continued: After the stone picks up the water, you have to carry the water.

Xu Hongping replied: Then when you walk, pay attention to the road.

Erfeng picked up the bucket and walked step by step.

"Sister Erfeng, you go feed the pigs!" The stone came with a load of water.

Erfeng responded: Yes.

Shi shouted: Sister Erfeng, you put down the bucket, and I will put the bucket and feed the pigs.

Erfeng Dao: The water is not heavy, I can go alone.

The stone shouted: Sister Erfeng, your body!

Erfeng replied: Stone, you take the bowl to eat by yourself.

Stone stepped into the kitchen and called, "Mom, have you eaten?"

Xu Hongping responded: I'll finish washing these dishes - and then eat.

The stone said: There are so many dishes, you can't wash them all at once, you finish eating - wash them again.

Xu Hongping stopped what she was doing and replied: Okay!

"Mom, I'll go and see Sister Erfeng." The stone put down his pole and ran straight out of the house.

Xu Hongping held the rice and muttered: If you don't eat, I'll eat.

Shi Gangyi ran out of the gate and shouted: Dad, you come into the house to eat, the people you want to shout, will they come!

Tang Bo replied: Of course they will come, they will come as soon as it gets dark.

Shi Li said: Dad, I won't delay your meal, I'll go to see Sister Erfeng feed the pigs!

Tang Bo shook his windbreaker and shouted: Stone, you put on this windbreaker!

The stone looked at the sky and replied: No need, the snow is not falling at this moment, and there are only two steps from here to the pigsty, so I can just walk.

Tang Bo saw the stone trotting and reminded: Stone, be careful, the road is slippery.

Stone shouted: Dad, you hurry up and get in!

Tang Bo turned around and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

"Xianggong, have you called everyone together?" Xu Hongping looked at Uncle Tang and asked:

Tang Bo stepped forward and replied: "It's all called, I shouted them one by one, and they will all come tonight."

Xu Hongping replied: It's good to come.

Tang Bo asked: Have the two of them eaten?

Xu Hongping continued: I haven't eaten yet.

Uncle Tang served the rice and said: There is less rice in Dingli!

Xu Hongping put the rice bowl and said: Let's eat some food at noon, we don't have to be full, I'm going to make dinner, how much can your stomach eat.

Tang Bo took the dish and whispered: Yes.

"Mom, you're full so soon." The stone carried the bucket and shouted:

Xu Hongping wiped her mouth and responded: I want to wash the vegetables······

"Mom, you're full, let me wash these dishes." Erfeng followed up and called:

"What do you wash! You haven't eaten yet. Xu Hongping continued:

Erfeng took a stool and said, "I don't want to eat at noon."

Shi asked: Sister Erfeng, why don't you eat?

Erfeng replied: I don't know what's wrong at noon! My stomach is getting sick.

"Erfeng, there is still food in Dingli." 唐博 says:

"There's food—and I don't eat either." Erfeng Ying said:

The stone took the bowl, walked to the tripod, and called: Sister Erfeng, there is still so much food in the tripod, do you want to support me to death!

Erfeng replied: Stone, why should I support you with rice!

Stone said: Don't say it! There is still some rice in Dingli, even if there is one grain of rice left in Dingli, the one who will go hungry - it's me, Sister Erfeng doesn't have to suffer for me······

"Stone, I really ······" Erfeng argued:

"Erfeng, you go over and eat something, Shan Chong Shi just said those words! You have to eat it too. Xu Hongping blocked Er Feng with one hand and interrupted:

Erfeng picked up the bowl and called: Stones, you also eat.

Shi picked up the rice spoon and said: Sister Erfeng eats one bowl, and Shi eats half a bowl.

"Stone, I eat one bowl, why do you only eat half a bowl?" Erfeng was puzzled:

"Sister Erfeng, you are two people, if you eat well and rest well, the child will grow well." Stone explains:

Erfeng and Shi glanced at each other, and answered: I'll eat.

Uncle Tang put the bowl and immediately went to help Xu Hongping wash the vegetables.

Xu Hongping said: Xianggong, you go outside to see if the cremation in the brazier has not melted.

Tang Bo replied: Probably not.

"I'll tell you to go out, and you go check it out." Xu Hongping said in an accentuated tone:

Tang Bo stood up and said, "I'll go, I'll go."

Xu Hongping instructed: Erfeng, after you have eaten enough, you go to the outhouse to bring two fireboxes in, we will sit here to wash vegetables, and our toes will be cold.

"I'll go." Erfeng moved his steps and walked straight to the outhouse.

He put a bowl on the stone and said, "Mom, you go to the door of the stove and sit down, and I'll wash it."

Xu Hongping smiled and said: How can I have time to sit!

However, you can wash the vegetables, and I'll chop the vegetables.

The stone leaned over and called: Mom, Sister Erfeng hasn't come in to make a spade fire yet, you go over and bake the fire.

"After you wash these in the basin, you wash those shiitake mushrooms and peppers." Xu Hongping pointed to the dish and shouted:

"Oh!" The stone sits on a low stool and washes it carefully.

Xu Hongping leaned in front of the cutting board and cut the vegetables with a "click".

"Stone, why are you washing vegetables too!" Erfeng walked back with a firebox.

Shi replied: You are all busy, I sit still, if you don't talk about me, I will die of shame.

"You wait, I'll wash it with you." Erfeng squatted in front of the stove and took the fire neatly.

"Sister Erfeng, you are a person with a body, you should not soak in the water often." 石 says:

"Erfeng, Shi is a man, he knows more about this than you." Xu Hongping said:

Erfeng handed Xu Hongping a firebox and asked, "Stone, are you cold?" I'll help you get a firebox!

The stone replied: The stone is not cold, and Sister Erfeng bakes it by herself.

"You're a man, what are you doing all this!" Erfeng sat beside the stone and whispered:

Xu Hongping saw that Erfeng was grabbing vegetables, and shouted: Erfeng, stop, you go and wash the dishes and chopsticks, we are going to make dinner.

Erfeng retracted his hand and walked straight to the door of the stove.

She squatted at the door of the stove, added two pieces of firewood to the stove, and asked, "Mom, how many people eat at night?"

Xu Hongping thought for a while and said: It seems to be 15 people!

Erfeng replied: Then I will cook a few more people's meals, and I will cook 20 people's meals.

From time to time, the stone stood up and called, "Mom, do you have any more dishes to wash?"

Xu Hongping glanced at the stone and said: After you finish washing the dishes, you can go outside to roast the fire!

The stone stretched out his hand to the door of the stove and said, "After washing the dishes for a while, my hands are shaking."

Xu Hongping responded: The snow outside is so big, can you not tremble when your hands are soaked in water!

"Puff~"

Erfeng lifted the lid of the pot, fished out some rice grains and "looked", and muttered: It's still a little hot.

The stone crouched down and added a few pieces of wood to the stove.

Xu Hongping shouted: Stone, you go out to the living room to have a look, see if those clan elders are here! If they hadn't come yet! You call your dad and ask for it again.

"Okay." The stone pulls its leg and runs.

Xu Hongping called: Erfeng, you take two plates out and set those melons and fruits.

Erfeng said: Where to put the saucer!

Xu Hongping replied: There is one on the table outside and one on the box at the head of my bed.

Er Feng patted his sleeves and walked unhurriedly.

She walked out of the kitchen, saw the stone coming back, and asked, "Stone, didn't the elders come?"

Shi Ying said: They haven't come here yet, so I asked my dad to call them.

Erfeng muttered: You stand here, I'm going to go in and get the plate.

The stone turned around and said, "I'm going to clean up the table."

"Knock Knock"

Stone ran to the door and quickly opened the door.

"You're my uncle!"

The stone smiled and said: What is this uncle called!

"I'm older than Tang Jin, you call me Uncle - that's right."

Stone pleased: Uncle, please in your house!

Uncle shook his hat and strode inside.

"Uncle, there's a fire in the brazier, hurry up and go over to bake the fire." When the stone saw the uncle, he looked around and shouted:

The uncle gathered around the brazier and replied: There are several braziers in the house, and it is not very cold.

The stone wiped the uncle's clothes and said: Today's snow is big, and the uncle has so many snowflakes on his body.

The uncle patted the snowflakes and replied: There is heat in the house, and these snowflakes will melt away in a short time.

"Kimber, get something to eat." Erfeng held all kinds of melons and fruits and called:

Kimber took a candy and teased: Erfeng, you are going to be a bride, are you happy!

Erfeng said shyly: Jin Bo, you don't want to make fun of me!

Kimber smiled: I'm still shy.

"Kimber, you drink tea." The stone poured tea and said:

"Bang Bang Bang"

Erfeng turned around and walked out.

"Erfeng, happy events are coming, and the spirits are different."

Erfeng called: Uncle Niu, you also make fun of me.

Uncle Niu said: Erfeng used to be a big beauty, but now she has more smiles on her face, and she has become more beautiful and moving.

Erfeng put his hands on his cheeks and replied: How can there be!

Uncle Niu continued: You go and get a mirror to look at.

Erfeng put down his hand and said politely: Uncle Niu, you sit in the room.

Uncle Niu got into the house and patted the snowflakes on his body in the same way.

Erfeng lowered his head and stretched out his hand to close the door.

"Erfeng, don't close the door! Here we go. Tang Bo shouted:

Erfeng looked forward, "Uncle Tang is coming with four or five people."

She let go of her hand and shouted, "Uncles, Uncle Yu, hurry up and enter the house."

Everyone walked into the house one after another.

Erfeng said: Ladies and gentlemen, there is a fire inside, you go in and bake the fire.

Uncle Tang stretched out his hand and asked, "Uncle Lie, please!"

"Hello everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you! Seeing so many people coming in, Stone said:

"Jin'er (Tang Jin), you see, your son-in-law is full of energy, and he is respectful and polite, you have this good son-in-law······"

"Uncle, the stone is not as good as you say······"

"Rank and honor, there are melons and fruits on the table······" Erfeng took the teapot and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can have some snacks to pass the time." The stone picked up the saucer and shouted:

"Great, husband sings and wife follow, this tacit understanding is not something that can be practiced in a day or two." Uncle Niu praised:

"Uncle Niu, you're joking, I won't tell you." Er Feng held an empty brazier and walked all the way to the kitchen.

"Erfeng, I won't tell you, who will I tell to go!"

"Young man, you put the plate down, and we'll do it ourselves if we want to eat."

Stone put down the plate and asked, "Dad, who is this?"

Tang Bo replied: He is the patriarch of our clan, called: Impartiality.

The stone bowed and said: Be fair!

Justice: You're welcome, young man!

Tang Bo introduced: This is "Ming Gong", this is "Quan Gong", this is ······

Stone salute: Good for the ranks!

"Kimber, Uncle Niu, come and sit here." Erfeng held a brazier and shouted:

Uncle Niu shouted: Let's sit over there.

Jin Bo boasted: Erfeng, your husband is so wow! Your husband is reasonable, enthusiastic, and talented, and he is the best among people.

"Erfeng, your husband is so wow! Your husband is reasonable, enthusiastic, and talented, and he is the best among people. Impartially repeated:

Jin Bo was surprised: Uncle Bing, your ears are usually very back, and you can say what I just said, word for word!

Binggong continued: What I want to hear, there will be gods to convey to me, and what I don't want to hear, it's useless for you to yell at me.

"Huh!!"

"Stone, you go in and serve the food!" Erfeng lifted his feet and shouted:

The stone replied, "I'm coming."

Ming Gong saw the stone and the two of them left the living room, and called: They are made in heaven, and they are very compatible.

Tang Bo said blankly: Who is worthy!

Ming Gong replied: I said that your daughter is a good match for stones.

Tang Bo looked at Kimber and said: I thought!

"You think I'm talking about the two of them (Ming Gong pointing to Uncle Niu and Kimber)."

Kimber shouted, "What have I done to him!" You're not serious, I'm not gay.

Ming Gong responded: I am gay, and I will not love you.

Uncle Niu smiled and said: Both of you have gray temples, what you just said······

"Erfeng is a flower in our clan and village, and the husband she wants to marry is so handsome and chic, she is really envious of others." Impartially called:

Tang Bo smiled: Praise impartially! Impartiality and false praise!

"Dad, you and all the elders have come over for dinner." Erfeng held the dish and shouted:

Uncle Tang asked: Uncles, brothers, please take a seat!

After a while, Xu Hongping and Shi walked into the living room carrying the meal.

Erfeng took the bowl - to help the column serve the meal.

Shi hurriedly went to get food for Erfeng.

Xu Hongping apologized and said: Justice, Ming Gong, Quan Gong, and brothers, forgive me! It's been so long since you've been at my house, and it's the first time I've come out to meet you.

"Niece, you're busy cooking, who cares about you!" Ming Gong said:

"Sister-in-law, you clean up the house······ Uncle Niu called:

"Brother Niu, you have won the prize." Xu Hongping replied:

"Ping'er, do you want to set up another table over there!" Tang Bo poked his head and whispered:

Xu Hongping responded: Don't put it out, let's eat standing together.

Uncle Tang shouted: "Uncle and brother, the winter rice will be cold as soon as it comes out, you should eat quickly!"

Ming Gong picked up the bowl and said: As soon as the virtuous nephew said rice, my stomach was growling, so I'm welcome!

Xu Hongping said: The more you eat, the happier I am, which shows that the work I just did is worthwhile.

Everyone took chopsticks and bowls, and ate together.

Suddenly, everyone put down their bowls.

Tang Bo called: Tang Jin invited everyone to come over today, mainly to agree on "the day when Erfeng and Shi will marry".

"All of you here are either the elders of the clan or the councilors of the clan, you can help make suggestions." Tang Bo continued:

Binggong said: I, Ming Gong, and Quan Gong, a few of us are old, some of us can't see clearly, some of our ears are not good, and the main matters have to be decided by Jin Jin, Niu Wa, Yu Rong, and a few of them.

Ming Gong said: We are "useless" except to bring our mouths over to eat.

The stone continued: Uncle Ming, what you say is outside, there are no predecessors to plant trees, how can there be descendants to enjoy the shade, you are all our relatives, our predecessors, we should be respected, our family is made some coarse tea and light rice······

"Young man, grandson-in-law, what you said is very to my appetite, indeed" There are no predecessors planting trees, how can there be descendants to enjoy the shade," you can have such insight at a young age, which shows that you are kind-hearted and broad-minded, and you are a rare ······ of future generations." Impartiality:

"Jin'er, who do you want to invite?" Ming Gong asked:

Tang Jin replied: I want to invite Ping'er's mother's family!

Xu Hongping hurriedly said: My parents are long gone, my two younger brothers are far away, and I don't want to disturb them about the marriage between Erfeng and Shishi.

Besides, time is not affordable.

Tang Bo thought for a moment and shouted: Stone, what do you say!

Shi called: I want to invite Aunt Ju, except for Uncle, Officer Wang, and Officer Bailiff······

"Stone, you please get rid of the uncle, I don't have any opinion, you ask those two dog things······" Xu Hongping interrupted:

"I invited them to let them understand that I and Sister Erfeng are married." The stone replied:

"Who are they?" Kwon asked:

The stone continued: Aunt Ju is Geng Yu from Shiqiao Village, except for Uncle who lives in Banqiao Village, his name is - except for Ming.

And ······

"Ping'er, the stone is reasonable, we will do what the stone says." Uncle Tang called:

Ming Gong shouted: Jin Jin, do you remember!

Kimber said: Remember.

Ming Gong said: We will set the wedding banquet on the sixth day of the next month.

Uncle Tang smiled and said: Okay, good, good, the sixth day of the first month of next month is a good day, everyone go and get melon seeds to eat······
