Chapter 20 Grandpa Holds a Family Banquet

Straight to the point. That night, the grandfather had a treat, the scene was not small, all the members of the brigade branch participated, Ling Furong insisted on letting her mother stay, Ling Zongwen left early in the afternoon, plus seven or eight elders and relatives, more than ten people, and sat down after two tables in the hall.

I sat with Ling Furong, she kept sticking to me, never leaving, my mother pulled her to sit next to her, she pulled me to sit next to her.

Grandpa is the east, sitting in the center, very proud, the first time to host such a big scene, the laughing goatee is flying, when he doesn't speak, he strokes the goatee, staring at everyone, in fact, there are few to make, get used to the action.

If it weren't for Grandma's specialty, the red stewed mountain rabbit, it would have started a long time ago. The stuffy mountain rabbit was caught by Uncle Zhao's eldest son from the mountain two hours ago, and two were sent at once, each weighing about five catties, alive and jumping, absolutely fresh, and the two were stuffy together.

Before the red stewed mountain rabbit was served, there were already fifteen dishes on the table, each dish was filled with a sharp edge, like a small mountain, a plate on top of my house more than three plates, this is the bold atmosphere of the old family. The house is full of fragrance, which has long made people's teeth and cheeks relish, all eyes are staring at the dishes on the table, why can't you see enough, it is more abundant than the New Year, and it is estimated that many people have already swallowed their mouths.

"Red Braised Mountain Rabbit - Come!"

With a shout like a mountain, I saw the uncle walking into the threshold with a huge casserole.

All eyes turned from the table to the casserole. Uncle walked to the table steadily and put the high-end casserole in the middle of the table, and asked the grandfather to open the lid, which is all exquisite, the red stewed mountain rabbit is the main dish, the casserole lid can not be opened casually, only the owner is qualified to open the lid and eat.

Grandpa stroked his goatee again, looked around, and then smiled at his mother and Uncle Zhao who were sitting beside him, hehe, I'm open!

Mother and Uncle Zhao nodded at the same time, let's go, let's go.

Grandpa got up, leaned forward, held the table with one hand, reached out to the casserole lid with the other, looked at everyone with a smile, and said, I'm open? Let's go, let's go! The whole house responded together, focusing on the casserole, looking forward to it.

"-Open!"

Grandpa shouted to open the lid of the casserole. Immediately, the smell of meat fills the whole house, covering all the vegetable aromas, which is worthy of the main dish.

"Come, everyone stood up with a wine cup and made the first wine for the red stewed mountain rabbit!" Grandpa immediately picked up the wine cup and said, everyone immediately stood up with a hula and drank it all with a smile.

I never expected that the first wine that my grandfather brought was actually for the mountain rabbit, instead of welcoming my mother and me, this hosting style is so weird, I think, if my father was there, I wouldn't laugh off my big teeth.

After sitting down, I couldn't hold back my laughter, my mother noticed, and Ling Furong slapped me and signaled me not to laugh, Ling Furong whispered to me that I controlled a little, I looked at my grandfather laughing even more, I couldn't stop laughing at all, Ling Furong pinched my hand under the table, the more she pinched me, the more she laughed, she was so angry that she simply pinched my thigh, I almost screamed in pain, and then returned a tooth for a tooth, and also pinched her thigh, but, I didn't want to work too hard, she hurriedly grabbed my hand, her face was crimson, Maybe I think I'm pinching too high, and it's all because she sits too far forward.

"Hehe," Grandpa picked up the chopsticks and looked at me and smiled, "Look at my eldest grandson, don't laugh patronize, hurry up to the rabbit meat to eat!" Count yourself blessed today, your grandmother's red stewed mountain rabbit meat is delicious, and you can't eat it in the city. As he spoke, he turned to everyone and pointed at the casserole with chopsticks and said, "Come on, come on, everyone move the chopsticks, eat and eat!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks shot at the mountain rabbit as fast as flying arrows.

In an instant, the sound of a clattering mouth resounded throughout the house, and Uncle Zhao's mouth was the loudest, it goes without saying that he is the most qualified, if it weren't for him, how could there be mountain rabbit meat to eat.

Uncle Zhao soon couldn't sit still, as soon as the first bite of rabbit meat was swallowed, he stood up with a wine cup, and took the initiative to bring the second wine, he didn't ask everyone to stand up, first bowed down to his mother and said, "Today, on behalf of the party branch of the brigade and all the members of the brigade, I warmly welcome my sister-in-law back to her hometown!" Then he turned to me and said, "At the same time, I warmly welcome Ling Fuhai to return to his hometown and settle down as an educated youth and receive re-education from the poor middle peasants." Then he said to everyone, "Come, everyone toast together, and make a second drink to welcome my sister-in-law and Fuhai!" ”

As soon as you put down the wine cup, the chopsticks will fly all over the table, crazy to eat every dish, of course, the red stewed mountain rabbit is still the most popular, everyone eats a mouth full of vegetable residues, absolutely skewered.

Without waiting for everyone to put down the chopsticks, my mother couldn't wait, so she picked up the wine cup and returned to everyone in advance, and took the initiative to bring the third wine - thank you for the wine, thank you to the party branch of the brigade, thank all the members of the brigade, thank my grandfather and other relatives for their warm welcome and hospitality, and the thoughtful and meticulous arrangements and services made by the brigade for my return to my hometown.

We all toasted and toasted my mother and me.

Then there was a busy rush of arriving at the food and the movement of the bar. The red stewed mountain rabbit was emptied first, only the soup remained, and some people were still holding chopsticks in the soup and kept fishing, occasionally fishing out a little meat scrap or bones are as happy as catching a treasure. Oh my God, this is too anxious, just after three wine mountain rabbits are gone; Looking at the other dishes, there is not much left, at most only half of the country is left, and this old family is too good to eat.

Fortunately, everyone didn't drink much, and in the end they only drank two boxes of 12 bottles of Lao Baigan, and they didn't want to drink more, Uncle Zhao had already stipulated that he would drink so much wine tonight, and he couldn't drink more than one bottle, if he let everyone drink, 12 bottles would not be enough.

That night, Ling Furong was stayed by her mother, slept in a bed with her mother, and said that she would sleep with her daughter (her mother had already recognized Ling Furong as her goddaughter); I slept directly in the dormitory of the educated youth, and I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, maybe I was not used to sleeping in a different place, or I drank too much wine, no wonder, tonight I became the focus of the "object of care", naturally I couldn't drink less, and I didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn, and I dreamed of Ling Furong several times.
