Chapter 113: Peanuts Drink
The last autumn rain was continuous.
On the day of the official opening of the banquet, the rain had lightened, but there was no intention of stopping.
Old man Chen changed into a brand-new cotton coat, and carefully cleaned up the bronze mirror, looking very serious.
Fu Zhu also thought that he didn't like Zeng Yong, and he didn't like this wedding either. After all, in the past few days, she has heard the old man scolding the Zeng family.
"This jacket was originally made for my granddaughter, but she didn't wear it, so it's cheaper for you little girl."
Old Man Chen saw Fu Zhu in the mirror and couldn't help but say, "You look more handsome than her, and you look better than her." ”
"That girl has no vision, she deserves not to wear good clothes."
He sold a pig and bought this jacket in the city, and he wanted to surprise the girl, but she disliked that the color was too earthy, and it was not suitable for the little girl to wear, so she kept it at the bottom of the box.
Fu Zhu looked down at the new clothes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull, seeing that Old Man Chen's eyes changed, he quickly pulled the corners of his lips up, turned them into hooked lips and smiled, and said against his will, "It's very good-looking." ”
"That's pretty much it." Old man Chen nodded with satisfaction and took an umbrella, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Fu Zhu's umbrella is outside, the weather is wet, and there is slanting rain, and after so many days, it is still wet.
She stretched out her umbrella to cover the wind and rain and keep up with Old Man Chen's pace.
The Zeng family lived in a three-in, three-out courtyard, and pulled a cloth over their heads to block the rain that had been falling.
The whole village came, and the courtyard could not sit down. Tables and chairs were also installed outside, and cloth was torn, but wind and rain still came in.
"There are too many people inside, we sit outside." Old man Chen said lightly.
Fu Zhu wiped the water stains from the wooden chair and let Wu Sheng sit in the corner. She herself sat down on the side of the table without paying much attention.
Old man Chen watched her movements, and suddenly said, "You are a good person, you can be so patient with your mute brother." ”
Wu Sheng hadn't spoken these days, and Old Man Chen thought he was mute. The age difference between the two is not much, so they naturally think that they are sisters and brothers.
Fu Zhu smiled and didn't explain.
"Boom-"
The sound of the gong drew everyone's attention.
"Zeng Yong is about to start his hypocritical heartfelt words again." Old man Chen said sullenly, he was really unhappy in his heart, he poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it in a big gulp.
Fu Zhu put one hand on Wusheng's bowl and looked at Old Man Chen, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's that every time I marry a sister, I play the deep love between sister and brother in front of everyone."
If it was really a sister and brother, I wouldn't have sent my sister to the fire pit.
There is no good one in the Zeng family, but Zeng Hui's girl is really good, and she will help him feed the pigs if she has nothing to do.
Otherwise, he would not have agreed, and gave several pigs from the family to the Zeng family to make dishes on the flowing water table.
"Does he have many sisters?"
Old man Chen sneered, "Not only many sisters, he also has many younger sisters!" ”
When they marry their sister, they will marry their sister, and the villagers who have daughters will be grateful to their Zeng family, and won't the Zeng family's status become more and more stable?
Fu Zhu peeled a plate of peanuts and pushed them in front of Old Man Chen, telling him to drink so that he wouldn't get drunk just by drinking.
Old man Chen picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice, Fu Zhu's words made him choke all of a sudden, "Do Zeng Yong's sisters and sisters have more peanuts on this plate?" ”
"Ahem! cough cough cough cough ......" Fu Zhu hurriedly smoothed his back for him.
Old man Chen took a sip of wine, swallowed the peanuts in his throat, and said angrily, "You girl, why are you telling jokes coldly!" ”
Compare these peanuts to Zeng Yong's sisters and sisters, so what does he eat?
Zeng Yong's sister, or Zeng Yong's sister?
Fu Zhu greeted him with a smile, and Old Man Chen couldn't spit out the words in his mouth, he glanced at the peanut plate, and said, "It's not bad." ”
Fu Zhu's little face was shocked, she had just peeled peanuts and didn't count, but it must have been thirty upwards.
Old man Chen added: "Count his cousins." ”
"Zeng Yong's father and his uncle married more daughters-in-law."
That's pretty much it, Fu Zhu saw that Zeng Yong's speech was over, and casually sandwiched a piece of ginger to Wusheng.
The stew came up, and Old Man Chen quickly put it into the bowl, and the rest of the people at the table looked at him together.
The old man's eyes widened, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "My pig, can't I eat a piece of meat?" ”
Everyone is from a village, and they also know that Old Man Chen is very precious to his pigs on weekdays, and he doesn't know what the Zeng family said to him, but he generously contributed all the pigs.
Since it is his pig, let him go.
Everyone went to pick up other dishes.
Fu Zhu saw that Old Man Chen was eating with relish, and he didn't know what to say.
He used to talk about his baby pig at home, and he didn't think about tea and rice, but now he eats it deliciously.
Fu Zhu didn't move her chopsticks much, she was waiting for the sedan chair to pick up the bride.
What kind of family is it, so that Old Man Chen, an outsider, has always been indignant and dissatisfied, and feels that the Zeng family is cheating on his daughter.
After a long time, there was still no sedan chair in the rain.
The flowing water mat is nearing its end.
"Please board the sedan chair for the bride!" A high-pitched female voice sounded in the midst of the noisy voices, and everyone fell silent instantly.
Several tall and strong villagers bent down to carry a big red sedan chair from the side room and landed at the gate of the courtyard.
The sedan chair is embroidered with rich peony flowers and phoenix birds with necks and songs, and strings of wind chimes are hung on the top of the sedan chair.
Very common sedan chair style.
A few childish and young girls, holding the bride, walked out of the courtyard with tears on their faces.
People who don't know think that they are reluctant to marry their sisters, and they have a deep sisterhood. In fact, they just saw Zeng Hui getting married, as if they saw their own future.
"Miss Zeng, let's get on the sedan chair." The matchmaker urged.
She doesn't care about the sisterhood of the bride, she just wants to send her relatives off as soon as possible and go to receive the reward.
Zeng Hui calmly let go of her sister's hand, and sat in the sedan chair with the support of the matchmaker.
The matchmaker smiled: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”
The sedan chair was a little unstable, Zeng Hui's body was crooked, and the red hijab fell off.
She didn't pick it up, so she let the red hijab fall at her feet.
Zeng Hui lifted the curtain slightly, looking for something in the crowd.
Her eyes were locked on one person, and Old Man Chen didn't look here, talking to a girl in a flower jacket.
"You're leaving? Don't wait for the rain to stop? ”
Fu Zhu stretched out the umbrella and covered Wusheng under the umbrella, "Don't wait." ”
Old man Chen was a little disappointed, but soon returned to normal, "I have long seen that your girl is not pleasing to the eye, it is better to leave early, so as not to annoy people." ”
Fu Zhu naturally knew that he was duplicitous, and said in a soft voice, "But when I see Old Chen, it's very compatible." ”
When he said this, it seemed that he was not approachable.
Old man Chen turned his back and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Fu Zhu led Wusheng and walked towards the rain curtain.
When Old Man Chen turned around again, the figure of the girl who was staying overnight had disappeared.
When you come without a trace, when you go, there is no trace.
The sedan chair also went up the mountain.
He hasn't seen Zeng Hui's girl for the last time.
Fu Zhu followed behind the sedan chair unhurriedly, the rain was urgent, and the wind chimes were slow.
Knowing that she was following people, Riji's voice was very low, and she asked curiously, "Fu Zhu, do you want to see what the bride looks like?" ”
Everyone has been to Qixi Festival, and they are humble in their own code
