"Hey, grandma, what are you doing with a knife?" Xu Deyong hurriedly said.

Xu Nanshi said happily: "Kill the old hen, isn't it just for this time." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Grandma, I just got pregnant, you should keep the hen to lay eggs, and I eat eggs the same." ”

Xu Nanshi was reminded by this, so he hesitated: "Then eat eggs first?" ”

"Hey, let's eat eggs first." Xu Huizhen said with a smile.

Xu Nanshi said: "Nacheng, let's eat eggs first, wait for two months, let's kill the newly raised chicken, and when you go back and wait for you to be confined, let's kill the old hen and stew soup for you to drink." ”

After finishing speaking, he happily started cooking, looking more energetic.

When I was enjoying the cool in the yard after dinner in the evening, when Xu Nanshi and my aunt were chatting, they said it "inadvertently".

An aunt said enviously: "Congratulations to Aunt Nan, next year there will be more people in the family." ”

Xu Nanshi said with a smile: "I have this great-granddaughter, and this time it is best to be a great-grandchild." ”

When He Yuzhu heard it, he glanced at Xu Deyong on the left, and then at Jia Dongxu's family on the right, this person is married and has children, and he is still alone, ......, oh, there is a sister who elbows outside and is playing with Xiaoli'er.

"Hey......."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh slightly, blaming the father who ran away with the widow.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting on the rocking chair he made, fanning his fan leisurely, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jia Zhang knew the news of Xu Huizhen's pregnancy, and after returning to the house, he couldn't help urging his son: "Dongxu, the stick is not small, you should also have a second one!" ”

When Qin Huairu heard this, he blinked and went back to the house.

Jia Dongxu said angrily: "Okay, Mom, you don't have to worry so much, you should have it, there will be naturally." ”

Jia Zhang's eyes glared and said: "Nonsense, I don't care about how you grew so big, tonight the stick terrier will sleep with me." ”

The little stick terrier said: "I don't want it, I want to find my mother." ”

With that, he slipped into the bedroom.

……

The days are like water leaking between the hands, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the laundry and cooking at home have been completed.

Busy every day, he naturally can't be bad at night, and his hand is a little pious on Xu Huizhen's stomach.

Xu Huizhen has his outstanding masterpieces in the world in his belly.

In the evening of that day, Xu Deyong came to Cai Quanwu's house.

Because tomorrow is the day when Cai Quanwu and He Yumei get married.

After a while, Liu Dezhu also came.

After greeting each other, they pulled Xu Deyong aside and said: "Deyong, Director Ma has been quite concerned about me recently, and has asked me about the situation at home and my literacy and learning, do you think this is a drama?" ”

Xu De shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know about this, after all, we don't have the right to decide, you have to be calm about this matter." ”

"Hey." Liu Dezhu sighed and said: "What you said is also right, but when I thought that this might be the only opportunity for me to become a regular employee and marry a daughter-in-law, I can't help but suffer from gains and losses, you won't think I'm snobbish." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Human nature, and you didn't take the initiative to do anything to tend to the flames, Director Ma's attitude may have said that you are included in one of the spare tires." ”

"Spare tire?"

"It's a spare tire for cycling, the car is running on the road, and in case the tire is broken, you can directly replace it with a spare tire."

Liu Dezhu said happily: "Hey, then I am the spare tire, I am willing to be a spare tire." ”

Xu Deyong: "......"

Yes, or you will directly change your name to Liu Bei.

At this time, the guy Qiangzi also came with a cheeky smile and said hello to Cai Quanwu.

The pallet truck with this cargo joined the "Crane Club", and it was not very mixed, but it was not hungry.

Some time ago, Cai Quanwu was "snubbed" for a while, and he seemed to regret it a little, and gradually leaned over.

Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, if he could come, he would be a guest or a friend, but in the future, He Yumei would be in charge, and it would be enough for Qiangzi to borrow money from him again.

As soon as Liu Dezhu saw Qiangzi, he came to his heart, and said with some sneer: "Someone is only afraid that no one will care about him outside, so he thinks of the good coming of his predecessors." ”

Qiangzi glanced at him with disgust and said, "What do you think of you?" It will be mediocre and completely unexalted, and you will ....... ”

Then he waved his hand and said: "Happy day, I don't have to quarrel with you, otherwise I will sweep everyone's sex, I just come over to see if there is no need to help." ”

Cai Quan is not bad, but he has few friends and no relatives at home, if it weren't for Xu Deyong, the people who would pick up his relatives tomorrow would not be able to get together.

In the evening, a few people drank some wine and played poker at Cai Quanwu's house, Xu Deyong went home early, Xu Hui really wanted to take care of the tavern, and also watched Xiaoli'er,

Liu Dezhu and Qiangzi, who were single, slept in Cai Quanwu's home.

Well, with these two pieces of goods, Cai Quanwu shouldn't be lonely at night.

……

Back at the tavern, it hasn't closed yet, and some of the guests are still there.

Among them is Chen Xueru, a girl.

At this time, Xu Hui really hugged Xiao Li'er and sat at a table with her chatting.

Xu Deyong walked in and took Xiao Li'er from Xu Huizhen's arms, and his nose rubbed the little guy, causing the little guy to giggle.

Seeing this, a complicated look flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes, and she still smiled on the surface and said, "Deyong, congratulations!" ”

It seems that Chen Xueru already knows the news of Xu Huizhen's pregnancy.

Xu Deyong smiled and said casually: "Sister Xie Xueru, don't forget to wrap a big red envelope when you turn around." ”

Chen Xueru Taohuayun squinted slightly, and said with a smile: "If I wrap a big red envelope, I'm afraid you won't accept it." ”

Xu Deyong's heart suddenly burst out, if this girl was nervous, in order to repay the previous favor, he would pack a red envelope of thousands of yuan, not only would he not dare to accept it, but he would have a lot of fun.

"Hey, hey." Xu Deyong grinned and said, "It's just an analogy, you can make it too big, otherwise we can't afford it." ”

Then he changed the topic and said: "Hey, what about Yelena, why haven't you seen her in the past few days, she took a picture of us that day, and she was trying to invite her to drink." ”

Chen Xueru sneered slightly in her heart, and said leisurely on the surface: "Yelena has something to do and returned to Dasu, so she asked me to bring you the photos that were washed out that day, I and Huizhen have seen it just now." ”

Xu Deyong noticed a yellow envelope on the table, which should have been a photo, and he reached out and took it.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "The photos are all good-looking, and I want to thank Yelena later." ”

Xiao Li'er, who was sitting on Xu Deyong's lap, stretched out her little hand to grab the envelope when she saw it.

Chen Xueru looked at their family and suddenly felt a little excited, so she got up and said, "It's not early, I'm leaving, go home." ”

The two got up and said to each other: "Sister Xueru walks slowly." ”

Chen Xueru waved her hand in a chic manner, swaying her skirt and waist and leaving.

Xu Huizhen said: "You take Xiaoli'er back first, these guests will close when they leave." ”

Xu Deyong said: "I'm waiting to give you a hand." ”

Xu Huizhen gently pushed him and said, "No, there is no heavy work, you don't have to protect me so well, otherwise it will be a fuss for others to know." ”

Xu Deyong said: "Okay, I'll go back first." ”

"Well, I have to get up early tomorrow to go to Cai Quanwu, you are his friend, and I represent everyone in the tavern." Xu Hui said.

Xu Deyong nodded and went home with Xiao Li'er in his arms.

……

Early the next morning, after Xu Deyong finished exercising, he opened the blind box with a thought.

"Poof."

A large bag of stuff falls into the blind box space.

Xu Deyong saw that it was a large bag of cotton, and he had to have forty or fifty catties.

Hey, it's all a good thing that is available in limited quantities, and the baby's cotton clothes and pants can be used vigorously in the future.

At this time, Xu Huizhen also woke up and got up, washed and dressed, Xu Deyong took his mother and wife to Cai Quanwu's house.

In order to make his marriage more atmospheric, Xu Deyong also brought his hand-cranked record player.

When Cai Quanwu arrived at home, he put it in the house, tied the strings, and the music full of the characteristics of the times sounded, and this festive energy immediately went to the next level.

There are not many guests today, only two or three tables, and Cai Quanwu found an old chef to do it.

After a while, Niu Ye came with a smile, and after greeting each other, he saw that everything was ready, what red pairs, firecrackers, etc.

He nodded and said with a smile: "Hey, nothing, you can be a public manager and marry such a good little daughter-in-law, but you have to thank Deyong and his family, today you must give a few more glasses to the two of you, Huizhen will be exempt, you have to let Deyong do it for you." ”

Cai Quanwu said happily: "What Niu Ye said is right, I will definitely toast a few more glasses when the time comes." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Master Niu, the person who should be respectful is you, you are a big matchmaker." ”

Niu Ye smiled and said: "Hey, I'll just go through the motions, you are the ones who contribute." ”

Cai Quanwu said: "I respect you a lot, and drink more today." ”

Xu Huizhen said: "Although the wine is good, you can't be greedy." ”

Niu Ye smiled and said: "Look, who is distressed, what this means is that I don't want to let you drink more!" ”

"Hahaha......."

Everyone laughed.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Cai Quanwu took Xu Deyong to pick up his relatives, accompanied by Qiangzi, who also rode a scooter.

When I arrived at He Yumei's house, the bride had already painted a light makeup, and after a simple procedure, the bride got into the car, and the dowry was very simple, a small dresser, some daily necessities, clothes, etc.

Cai Quanwu rode Xu Deyong's car with the bride and dowry.

Qiangzi took Xu Deyong, as well as He Yumei's younger brother and several relatives.

Cai Quanwu happily took his new daughter-in-law home with red eyes, and both of them were full of expectations and longing for the new small family in the future.

"It's coming, it's coming......."

Qiangzi saw the car coming at the entrance of the alley, shouted twice, and immediately lit firecrackers to greet him.

"Crackling......."

In the festive and firecracker and music, under the auspices of Niu Ye, Cai Quanwu and He Yumei officially became husband and wife.

After drinking the wine and eating, Qiangzi volunteered to take the job of giving away.

Cai Quan was everywhere, and the tavern and canteen still needed Xu Hui Allah, so Xu Deyong took the two of them to say goodbye and go back.

As for Liu Dezhu and Qiangzi, they can stay and make trouble.

……

The next day, it was the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

The so-called: "On June 6, I hung a hoe hook and called my aunt to call my sister-in-law."

This day is also one of the traditional festivals in our country, known as the "Wangxia Festival", also known as the "Heavenly Festival", "Fried Noodles Festival", "Ladies Festival", and also known as the "Ladies Return Festival" in the old days.

Married daughters and husbands return to their parents' homes on this day to visit their parents, which is called "Wangxia".

Newlyweds must bring "long gourd" (homonym "long sticky"), in order to make the couple love for a long time, and later bring long gourds are rare, and bring more melons and fruits, sugar and drinks and other items to cool off. Father-in-law and mother-in-law will also return the gift with sweat towels, fans, straw hats, etc.

Nowadays, few people celebrate the summer festival.

This "Heavenly Gift Festival" is the official festival of the Song Zhenzong period, which was called the Tianzhen (kuàng) Festival at that time, and Tianzhen is the meaning of God's gift.

In the literature, the sixth day of the sixth month of June in the old capital is rich and colorful.

The so-called "dragon robe in the palace, and the elephant is busy washing outside the Xuanwu Gate." The alleys and alleys are fragrant with sauce, and the small temples in the farmland are dedicated to the king of insects".

There is also a saying in the old capital of "Fu sauce vinegar", which is said to be "drawing water on June 6, making sauce and vinegar to prevent mildew".

On this day, there is also the emphasis on sacrificing the insect king. The reason why this day is chosen to sacrifice to the insect king, because there is a proverb "June 6, see the grain show", on this day the grain begins to tassel, the growth of crops enters a critical period, and the harvest is quite critical at this moment, so the cultivators pray for good weather during this important period, no insects and no disasters, which reflects the high attention of the people to farming.

Speaking of June 6, we must also mention the traditional customs and activities of lotus appreciation in the old capital. Every year in June and July of the lunar calendar, the lotus flowers in Shichahai, Beihai and other places are all competing for beauty, attracting people from all walks of life to watch, it can be said that "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red".

There is a folk proverb: "June 6, sunbathing red and green, not afraid of insect bites and moths." Therefore, June 6 is also known as "Insect Festival" and "Moldy Day".

However, Xu Deyong can't do it.

It was a cloudy day, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"It rained six days in the first month of June, and it was cloudy for forty-five years."

This agricultural proverb means that if it rains on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, then according to the experience of our ancestors, it indicates that the rainy days will be dominated for a long time to come.

Xu Deyong hugged Xiao Li'er and came back from a stroll outside.

Now this little guy doesn't go out once a day to slander people, it's really a big ghost.

……

The weather was gloomy, but some people couldn't sit still.

For example, Liao Yucheng, who was taken out by Chen Xueru.

During this time, he wanted to take the handle back from Chen Xueru all the time, even if he couldn't get it back, Chen Xueru couldn't always stare at him.

After his observation and thinking, he set his goal on Chen Xueru's brother.

Chen Xueru's brother's name is Chen Zuwang, and his name and person are simply two extremes.

If their Chen family ancestors had spirits, they might really crawl out of the ground angrily.

Chen Zuwang is idle, since the business at home completely fell into the hands of Chen Xueru, he is even more broken.

If I didn't have any money in my hand, I asked Chen's mother for it, and when I had money, I disappeared in three days.

Chen's mother was angry and educated for a period of time, but it was useless.

Chen Zuwang said, "If you let my sister take care of the business with me, I won't go out and fool around."

But Chen's mother knew that he was not that material at all.

It was useless to preach for a while, and Chen's mother was also "enlightened" and too lazy to care anymore.

Liao Yucheng found his brother-in-law.
