The story of a cook

Chapter 212 Going Home (Thirteen)
Everyone got up at six o'clock in the morning.

When I came to the outhouse, I saw that the women were almost finished making the dumplings.

I said, "You guys got up early enough."

The eldest brother-in-law, brother-in-law and daughter-in-law said: "It's still early, the sun is about to rise."

I said, "It's early enough, the second sister-in-law needs some water to wash her face."

The second sister-in-law scooped water for me from the pot, and I took the washbasin to wash my face outside the house.As soon as the wind blows outside the house, the whole body is chilly, and the house is still warm in winter.I quickly washed my face twice and ran into the house, thinking that I would not catch a cold.

At this time, the Zhike came and saw that the women were almost finished making the dumplings, and said: "Okay, you are very fast, you old ladies can do the work, I will tell the boss when I am done, and I will remember it for you." Ten credits."

At this time, a woman said: "Fuck you, you still have to keep your fucking work points in what age, if you dare to fool us again, don't say we are here to pick you up, cut off your little cocoon and pupae Feed the dog."

As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

In the morning, everyone gets up to greet the new relatives to wash their faces, and then eat dumplings.Before ten o'clock after eating dumplings, relatives and friends who came to congratulate her came one after another, and an old neighbor from Yingzi also started to come over.The master chef in the kitchen began to prepare the dinner for lunch, and the helpers began to get busy at their respective positions.

With the stereo on and the trumpets blowing, it was a lively and festive scene.

The elder sister and elder brother-in-law stood at the gate to welcome those who came to congratulate her.

My mother came, and my eldest brother-in-law sent a car to pick her up.

When my mother arrived, many people went out to greet her.

Mother got out of the car and led Jiaxu, the child of Fifth Sister's family.The eldest brother-in-law's mother walked over, and the elder sister was very happy to meet her.The eldest brother-in-law's brother and daughter-in-law stepped forward to support their mother, and many people came out of the house to say hello to their mother.

My grandma's cousin and sister-in-law saw my mother coming up to say hello, and the old aunt and elder sister chatted a few words about homework.In the first few years my family was in trouble, and those cousins ​​and sisters-in-law seldom went to my house to visit my mother. Now my family is better, and they also begin to know that they have an aunt.Hey, that's what happens to people. If you are poor, no one cares about you on the streets, and if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains.

When the mother entered the house, she first went to Lan Jun's new house to have a look. Lan Jun's daughter-in-law would come to help her sit on the sofa, pour tea for her, and shouted: "Grandma!" The red envelope was given to the grandson and daughter-in-law.

The eldest brother-in-law, brother-in-law and daughter-in-law said: "Auntie, you have to write a gift later."

The mother said: "It doesn't matter, there is his old uncle, this is his business, I don't care. I will come to see my grandson's daughter-in-law." Then pointing to Lan Jun's daughter-in-law, she said: "Look, how handsome she is, The physique is also good, and I will have a good time with Lan Jun. I will come over to hug your child after the Chinese New Year, and let him give birth to a girl. As a grandma, I will see four generations of people!"

The eldest brother-in-law, brother-in-law and daughter-in-law said: "This old lady has a good life, and she can see people for four lifetimes."

My mother said: "Life is bad, but society is good. If it weren't for this society, we wouldn't be able to see people for four lifetimes."

At this time, the old aunt of Lan Jun's daughter-in-law asked her mother: "Auntie, do you still know me?"

The mother looked at her and said, "You can't call me aunt, you have to call me old lady. Aren't you from Shuangmiao's family? Xiaojiu from the old Zhang family, I'm your cousin."

She said, "Yes, it's not bad, I really have to call you old aunt."

Mother asked: "How has your father been in the past two years? Is he almost seventy?"

She said: "My dad is okay, he is in good shape, and he is exactly seventy this year."

Mother said: "Your father is a good man, honest, and a good man all his life."

She said, "Well, my dad is honest."

Mother said: "you can do it too, you are living a good life, you should be a mother-in-law now."

She said, "I did it, last year."

After chatting with the people in the room for a while, the mother came to the room of the new male guest to chat with everyone, and then went to the servant room with the eldest brother-in-law and mother, and went to chat with the old sister and the elder sister in a quiet place.

After ten o'clock, I said to my eldest brother-in-law and Zhike: "It seems that there are a lot of relatives and friends, and we have to eat three meals. Let's start the banquet early and send the new relatives away first. The rest of the family will be easy to deal with."

The knowledgeable guest said: "There are only three seats for the main table, and there are still waiters who are busy in the hall. Let's open early, or you will have to eat until two or three in the afternoon."

I said: "Brother-in-law, look for all the people who will accompany the new relatives at the banquet, young and old uncles, uncles and aunts, and those who live far away (the married girl from my family), and let's start the banquet."

The knower said, "Yes, I'll go to the kitchen to see what's ready, and we'll have dinner in 10 minutes when it's ready."

The eldest brother-in-law said: "I'll go and have a look. Some of them were so frightened that the new relatives slipped away and hid when they heard about it."

I laughed and said: "There are a few people who are willing to accompany the new relatives and wait for people. Find them quickly. I'll go and see those uncles. If I don't look for them, I should take care of them. At this time, I have to put them in the front. On the bright side."

I know all the aunts and uncles who are close to the eldest brother-in-law's house, and I greeted them just now. I went to look for them, and the eldest brother-in-law also went to find other accompanying guests.After a while, the knowledgeable guest said that the kitchen was ready for the banquet, so they began to prepare for the banquet.

Zhike stood outside and shouted loudly: "Young man in the hall, you are busy, the speaker maker, let's start the banquet soon!" Then he paused and shouted: "Get the firecrackers ready, and quickly buckle the tables, eight tables, each table For eight people, the dishes and chopsticks are set first. The new relatives are seated—"

At this time, the newlyweds began to enter the house and sit at the table, firecrackers were fired, and the festive suona was blown.

Seeing the new relatives enter the table, the familiar guest shouted: "Uncles, aunts, aunts, and those who live in the house, hurry up and accompany the new relatives, enter the house and have a seat, and entertain the new relatives, hurry up!"

I led Lanzhi's partner and a few uncles into the house, followed by some accompanying guests.

After allocating the accompanying guests, everyone sat down and the kitchen began to serve dishes.

I still share the same table with Lan Jun's daughter-in-law's second brother and two uncles.The accompanying guests were changed, the elder brother of the main family could not serve at the table, and was replaced by Lanzhi's partner, and there were two old sons-in-law from the same family.

There is nothing to say after the banquet, the new relatives came yesterday, they had a drink yesterday, and they didn't have a good rest at night, they were all waiting to finish the meal and go back to take a good rest, so it wasn't that bad drank.

After the four dishes were served, it was time for the newlyweds to pour wine and light cigarettes.

There are new relatives here, and those who are still following the matchmaker and intellectuals, no one is joking, it will pass soon.

When the eight dishes are served, it is the host's pouring session.The elder sister and elder brother-in-law came over to pour a glass of wedding wine for the old relatives and friends, and everyone said a few auspicious words, and they passed quickly.

After the dishes are served, the chef adds dishes.The master chef made two special dishes, one is red grilled chicken, and the other is Sixi meatballs. These are normal main dishes for wedding banquets in hotels in the city, but they are considered big dishes in rural areas.After the cook finished serving the dishes, the new relatives gave the chef a reward, and the well-known guest took the reward and shouted loudly: "Master, you have worked hard, and the new relatives have a reward, and both reported [-] yuan!"

The seat is over here.

The couple got up and went to the new house to have a look, told the new couple a few words, and then went out to the courtyard, the accompanying guests came out to say goodbye to the new couple, and said very friendly words, the car over there had started, the new couple The kiss got into the car, the car slowly drove out of the yard, the companions sent out to the gate, waved goodbye to the new kiss, and the car drove away on the highway.

When I got back to the courtyard, the banquet had already started, and my second brother-in-law called me and told me to go over to accompany some friends I knew very well before. I went to accompany me for a couple of drinks, chatted for a while, and then came out.

Seeing my mother sitting on the bench and staying in the yard with my fifth sister's son Jiaxu, I walked over to ask my mother if I had eaten well, and my mother said yes.Then I asked my eldest brother-in-law to arrange a trolley to take my mother and me home.

To be honest, I was a little tired after tossing around for three days.

The elder sister and elder brother-in-law sent my mother and me to the gate.

The eldest sister asked me: "Guohua, you will leave in two days after returning home?"

I said, "Well, I'll leave in two days."

The eldest sister said: "I'm busy and won't go back. Then you will come back during the Chinese New Year?"

I said, "Well, come back during the Chinese New Year, come back with Lin Yan."

The eldest sister said: "Then come back during the Chinese New Year and chat again, as long as you are all fine."

I said: "It's all good, you don't have to worry about it, just go back, there are many relatives, so go."

He got into the car with his mother and Jiaxu and went home.

The first thing I do when I get home is to quickly make a pot of tea and drink some tea to soothe the hangover.At noon, I didn't drink much with my new relatives. I only drank two glasses with my second brother-in-law's friend. It's just that I drank a lot in the past two days.

Jiaxu asked me: "Uncle, have you been drinking too much?"

"Yes, my uncle drank too much."

"Then you drink tea, my dad will drink tea after drinking."

I said, "Uncle, drink some tea."

My mother asked me: "Did you drink less these two days?"

I said: 'I didn't drink less, I drank a lot. "

Mother said: "Drink less alcohol, too much will hurt your health. You are young. If you get older, you will die sooner." Then she said: "This time is fine. You are an uncle and you must accompany the new relatives. , just drink some, and don’t drink these wines when you go back to work.”

I said, "I won't drink when I go back."

Mother said: "Are you sure? I don't know who to follow. There are not many people in your old Tan family who can drink, so you are the one who drinks. Drink less in the future."

I said: "Maybe follow my dad." Then I asked my mother: "Mom, can my dad drink?"

Mother said: "Your father will never drink alcohol in his life."

I said, "Really? Then where does my drinking capacity come from?"

My mother said: "Everyone in your grandma's family can drink. Your grandfather opened a wine shop and a noodle shop when he was young. Your uncle and your uncle can drink."

I said: "My nephew stayed with grandma's house, this time he found his roots."

Mother said: "People who drink alcohol like to sleep." Mother said to Jia Xu: "Jia Xu, get your old uncle a pillow. Your old uncle has to sleep after drinking tea."

Jiaxu brought me a pillow from the top of the kang, drank tea for a while, lay down on the pillow and fell asleep after a while.
