Vol 2 Chapter 262: Full Moon Reiichi


At around four o'clock in the morning, noisy started at the foot of the North Mountain in Zhangjia Village. Today, the old Zhang's three bedrooms, old and young, all gathered at Zhang Lao Er Zhang's house. Just because today is their old Zhang family grandson-Xiaoping's full moon.
The men of the Zhang family were busy clearing snow in the front and back yards, building up earthen stoves, setting up tents, and raising tables. Two large stoves in the kitchen are boiling. In the kitchen and by the well, Mother Zhang and the women are busy cleaning the dishes and chopsticks they borrowed for the banquet, and the meat and vegetables needed for the banquet. They also have to prepare steaming wowtou in advance.
Xizi took a few older children to run errands in and out of the yard, and ran into the house with small eyes staring and went to sleep. The sound of moving, washing, talking, and children's calling in the entire Zhang family's yard are integrated.
After a few minutes, Zhou Jiao was awakened by some sounds in a daze. Only her son was lying there sleeping beside her, and Zhang Guoqing was no longer seen. After washing up, I looked outside and was shocked. Didn’t you say you can’t go too far? Why are so many people making trouble?
Zhang Guoqing ran to the provincial capital yesterday morning to pick up the guests from his mother-in-law and Cheng Lin, and accompanied them to the military region. After returning to the county seat, he saw that the mother-in-law insisted on staying in the county guesthouse and waited for them to make arrangements. He left in a hurry. As for the mother-in-law, she said that she still had eggs to be sent to the village together the next day. He didn't take it to heart.
He was too busy to inform the barber and photo studio, but he didn't stop. Fortunately, the dishes and drinks on the banquet have been consulted by the chef a few days ago. When he arrived home, before he could relax, he was taken by his father to the village and personally invited the village elders and elderly people to come to Zhang's house for a drink the next day.
After finally eating dinner, Zhang's mother saw it was dark, and every household should finish dinner. Anxiously urging the three brothers to start moving tables and stools at the agreed house. The three brothers ran throughout the village, and when they were finally done, his parents took them to discuss the reception.
After finally lying in bed for a while, the son woke up. Before he could squint for a while, there was movement in the yard. This is more tiring than his marriage. Fortunately, this grandeur is only available to the eldest son Ping An.
This time, Father Zhang spent a lot of money. In addition to the eggs and wowotou in return, the family killed a pig a few days ago.
Looking at this posture, Zhang Guoqing has always advocated simplicity and don't put more than a dozen tables. After being reprimanded by Father Zhang, he obeyed his arrangements honestly. This will make him do whatever he wants and be submissive to his father.
Daddy Zhang put it very seriously. Let him not refute. Uncle Zhang Guoqing's and uncle's sons and daughters all came over and the two tables were crowded together. There are also the old relatives in the family, two uncles, aunts, aunts, cousins, cousins, and Zhang's relatives. It is not enough to have one person and two tables for one family, let alone bring children?
Add in Cheng, Lin's family, his godfather and his wife, Zhao Dashan, Zuo Lin and others, maybe someone will join in the fun. There are also friends from the village, Zhang Guoqing’s brothers, and old people in the clan, who don’t have twenty tables will make jokes.
This is still less, if his own iron buddies all come, even the good friends of Master Bricklayer come, fifty tables will not be set. When Zhang Guoqing got married, there were dozens of tables at the table.
Zhang Guoqing has been moving vegetables and meat to his home these days. When I heard that 20 tables were really needed, the first thing that came to my mind was that the whole family started to gnaw corn dregs again.
Mother Zhang saw him frowning, and secretly pulled him to mutter. On the day he washed three times, there were more than three hundred bowls on three sides. Last time many people didn't come, and the trustee brought gifts. This time there will be more people, not less.
Zhang Guoqing was so scared that Zhang Guoqing hurriedly pulled his father to discuss with the master in charge. Finally ordered the dishes, he was greatly relieved. It's really getting bigger and bigger.
As the sky gradually cleared, the door of Zhang's house opened, and people came and went. There are also a few tables in the main hall, the right wing, and the elders in the clan and the maidens. The front yard to the back yard are full of tables. The few stoves set up in the backyard, the master of this meeting has already started to start with. The cut cold dishes are all placed on a square wooden shelf built up on wooden boards, and the stove has been simmered and steamed.
At around seven o’clock, Lin Lishan drove the car with Cheng Lin’s sister-in-law and his sister-in-law, followed by a carriage to the Zhang’s yard. The three military vehicles that followed quickly drove over to the brothers of Zhao Chuanguang and Zhou Xiaozheng. And wife.
A few cars had just stopped, and the gifts on the carriage had not been unloaded. In the back, Zhao Dashan and his wife took their youngest son and daughter and parked outside the gate in a carriage.
Near eight o'clock, Aunt Zuo and the three female comrades one after another came over with bamboo baskets and gift boxes wrapped in red paper.
Friends and relatives who came to the gifts came one after another.
At the gate, Zhang Guoqiang and his eldest brother Zhang Guofu greeted the guests from 7 o'clock. Zhang Guoqiang saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, turned his back, rubbed his face, and his face was numb after laughing this morning. He didn't know how many people still hadn't arrived, and he felt that the twenty tables were enough.
He finally caught Daddy Zhang, pulled him away from others, and said with an ear: "Father, how many people are there? I think twenty tables are not enough. Have you discussed with Xiaowu?"
Father Zhang laughed in a low voice: "Haha, Xiao Wu said that five or six tables are enough, and there is no need to prepare a dozen tables. I will let him arrange them later." The two fathers and sons laughed.
Father Zhang reminded him in a low voice, "Your uncle, they know, they will let the guests take their seats first. Be smart not to leave any guests behind."
Seeing him nodding, Zhang Daddy was busy looking for the master chef, he still had to show him whether to add some hard vegetables? Xiao Wu has always asked that he must simply reduce his influence. He is already simpler than Xiao Wu's wedding banquet. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but this time the county, urban and rural areas are all out, and he has to consult with the master in charge. Xiao Wu was entertaining the male guest, his wife brought the little girl Zhang Luo back to the gift, and the older girl accompanied the female guest. He can only arrange for the whole family.
Mother Zhang took her little girl in Xizi's study in the East Wing. A room that was previously empty is now piled up all over the floor. A few days ago, Zhang Guoqing went to Yangliutun and ordered two hundred small bamboo baskets. A small piece of red paper was pasted on the outside of each small bamboo basket, which happened to be filled with a catty of brown sugar, four red eggs, and two wowotou. The small and exquisite bamboo baskets look very delicate and beautiful.
Zhang Meihao widened her eyes and looked at her mother incredulously, "Mother, this is too exaggerated? He has two hundred catties of brown sugar. Where did it come from?"
Mother Zhang shook her head, "Look back and ask again. Put the eggs and Wowotou first, and wait for your eldest sister to come over, put in the gift money given by others, and write your name on the red paper. Make no mistake."
This time Zhang Guoqing returned the gift money to everyone except the Cheng family, Lin family, and Zhao family, and only accepted children’s clothing. I have told my family in advance. These two hundred small bamboo baskets are just in case, to stuff red envelopes. As for brown sugar, the couple think brown sugar is the most in the space, or boutique brown sugar. Nowadays, brown sugar is a valuable product, just in return.
"As soon as the gift money was retired, the loss was huge. In the future, the human relationship will not be the same as the red envelope? Mother, why don't you persuade them? They don't spend a lot of money like that."
Mother Zhang hurriedly looked outside, found no one, relieved, glared at her, and warned her in a low voice, "You don't understand what's inside. Don't talk nonsense. You will understand when you go back and listen to what your parents-in-law said. Follow what Xiaowu said. Don’t mess around."
After speaking, he muttered, "How come I have sons that are smarter, and daughters are stupid than the other." Enter chapter review (0)?
