Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 748

"Give me, give me, give me."

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has a share, come one by one!"

At the gate of the courtyard, a large group of brats came smelling the fragrance, and then looked at the dining table in the courtyard eagerly.

Seeing this, Lan Qiaoer hurried into the house and brought out some candies, biscuits, peanuts and melon seeds, and planned to distribute some to the children according to the old rules.

However, she didn't expect that as soon as she grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to a child, the other children rushed to surround her, scaring her so much that she hurriedly shouted.

Lin Tieniu heard the movement, quickly put down the pot and spoon, and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.

Then, he quickly reached out, grabbed a large handful of candies from the basket and scattered them on the ground.

Seeing this, the bear children squatted on the ground and started fighting for it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Tieniu hurriedly pulled Lan Qiaoer back to the yard, and asked worriedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine, I just got a little scared just now!"

Lan Qiaoer shook her head, then reached out and patted her chest and said.

"Well, it's fine, next time you must remember not to be so reckless, these children have never eaten candy a few times throughout the year, if you take so much out all at once, accidents will easily happen, next time you have to do this For things, you can ask Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhao to help, with them, those children will not dare to mess around."

Lin Tieniu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then said with a serious face.

You know, children these days are very wild, and they are also very greedy. If you give a piece of candy, you can run home and strip off your own sister's pants. Like Lan Qiaoer, she is alone with so many candies and biscuits , Peanuts and melon seeds broke into the pile of children, and if they were not careful, those children would tear their clothes to pieces.

At that time, it will make a fool of myself.

"Okay, I got it!"

When Lan Qiaoer heard Lin Tieniu's words, she couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought of the palms that were stretched out in front of her before, she nodded her head hastily and agreed.

In fact, although she is from the city, she does not have little contact with the children in the alleys on weekdays, and she is not very afraid of those bratty children.

However, she ignored the allure of those candy biscuits and peanut melon seeds to the country children, and she was too generous. She directly grabbed a lot of candy biscuits and gave them to one of the children, which made those children jealous all of a sudden. head.

"Okay, you go to the room first to rest the meeting, and you come out after the meeting is over, these candy biscuits, let me help you distribute them!"

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said softly.

After speaking, he brought over the basket containing candy and biscuits, then turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, the children had already scraped the ground three feet away, divided up all the candies scattered on the ground, and then gathered around the gate of the courtyard looking eagerly at Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer.

When they saw Lin Tieniu coming over with a basket, their faces immediately showed a look of eagerness to try.

However, since they had heard of Lin Tieniu's heroic deeds of hunting wild boars up the mountain, they didn't dare to swarm up to fight for it like before, for fear that Lin Tieniu would get beaten by accident.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu was a little happy, and then shouted loudly: "There are all of them, hurry up and line up one by one, or don't blame me if you don't get the candies!"

As soon as the words fell, the brats hurriedly and spontaneously lined up.

Among them, some taller children quickly occupied the front row by virtue of their physical advantages, while some thinner children without the help of their companions could only be squeezed to the back of the line.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Tieniu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Although this is just an ordinary queuing to receive candy, it can also see some reasons for surviving in this society.

Anyone who can get along well in society must either have relatively strong abilities or have relatively strong forces.

Otherwise, the final result can only be the same as those emaciated and helpless children, who are squeezed to the back of the row, waiting for those in power to allocate the meager resources that belong to them.

Therefore, if he has children, he must teach them the principles of self-reliance and solidarity, so that people will not be easily squeezed out at the bottom of society, so that they can have the opportunity to climb the pyramid.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of his lovely daughter, and he didn't know where she was in the universe, or if she had completely disappeared.

If he could be given another chance, he would never leave his wife and children easily, and would spend his whole life with them in a down-to-earth manner.

Because, after going through so many things, he finally realized that what he wanted most was nothing more than a warm wife and children.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and he could never go back.

After thinking about it, a lonely look appeared on his face, and his mood became a little depressed.

So, he was not interested in talking to those brats anymore. When he saw that the line was lined up, he stepped forward and distributed the candies, biscuits, and peanuts in the basket in two or three strokes.

Afterwards, amidst the laughter of the children, he turned around and returned to the temporary stove, looked at the braised pork stewed in the pot, and found that the heat was almost ready, so he hurriedly served the meat out.

Immediately, the fragrance wafting in the yard became even more intense.

"Niuba, how are you? Can we start the meeting?"

Smelling the fragrance, Jiang Guozhong hurried over from the other side and asked.

As far as the food is delicious, not to mention the guests can't wait, even the host can't wait.

"Almost, the table will be ready soon! Uncle Zhong, please invite the guests to take their seats first!"

Seeing Jiang Guozhong's greedy look, Lin Tieniu felt a little happy, and then replied with a smile.

At the same time, he was still a little depressed, but he gradually became cheerful.

After all, no matter what, this day has to be lived well.

"Got it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Guozhong hurriedly nodded in agreement, then turned around and ran to the yard to greet him.

When the guests heard that the banquet was about to start, each of them couldn't even bother to talk, so they hurriedly found a place to sit down.

Seeing this, Jiang Guozhong quickly ran into the house and invited his father and several respected elders in the village to sit down, and asked Aunt Zhao and Lan Qiaoer to go out to help greet the guests by the way.

The two brothers Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo had already been sent out of the courtyard by Jiang Guozhong, and they were going to light the firecrackers as soon as the dishes were served.

After a while, under the yelling of Lin Tieniu, the aunts who helped with the work brought trays of delicious, fragrant and delicious dishes to the table.

Seeing this, Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo hurriedly lit the firecrackers hanging in front of the courtyard with the cigarettes in their mouths.

With a burst of "cracking" sound, amidst the smoke, the yard also became very festive and lively.

"Today is a great day for Tieniu to marry a wife and start a family. Thank you for coming to support us. We are all our own people. I won't say much else. In short, everyone eats and drinks well! Here, I Toast everyone!"

Seeing that the firecrackers had been set off, Jiang Guozhong hurriedly stood up with his wine glass in hand, and made an opening speech for the banquet.

"it is good!"

When everyone heard the words, they applauded one after another, and before Jiang Guozhong sat down, they impatiently picked up their chopsticks and started to move.

After enduring it for so long, I finally don't have to bear it anymore.

Soon, there was a sound of chewing in the yard.

Lin Tieniu waited until the food was finished, then pulled Lan Qiaoer to sit down at the main table.

Then, before they had a few mouthfuls of food, they were urged by Jiang Guozhong to toast the guests.

In desperation, Lin Tieniu could only get up with Lan Qiaoer, and then walked towards the nearby table with the wine bottle in one hand and the wine glass in the other.

Because he didn't have the intention to establish too deep friendship with the villagers, and there were no better friends in the village, so when he toasted, he basically said some polite words.

Fortunately, most of the guests knew Lin Tieniu's personality quite well, and with the cooperation of each other, the toast was completed smoothly.

Lan Qiaoer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that the guests didn't make things difficult for her new daughter-in-law.

At the same time, she also saw from Lin Tieniu's performance that Lin Tieniu was not very close to the villagers.

What is the specific reason, she thought about it a little bit in her heart, and she could probably figure it out.

She guessed that this may be because Lin Tieniu was an orphan since he was a child, and he was not very well received by others, and after the old cripple passed away, except for Jiang Guozhong and his family who cared a lot for Lin Tieniu, other villagers also cared for Lin Tieniu. There is no great kindness, that's why Lin Tieniu is like this.

In this regard, as a daughter-in-law, she has no intention of interfering with Lin Tieniu. No matter what Lin Tieniu does, she will support him unconditionally.

If Lin Tieniu hadn't insisted on holding a wedding for her, she would never have thought of holding such a wedding in the village.

"How? You're not drunk, are you?"

Lin Tieniu took Lan Qiaoer back to his seat and sat down. Seeing Lan Qiaoer's flushed face, he couldn't help but asked with some worry.

"It's okay, this little wine is nothing to me. I drank with sister Juan once before, and it's okay to drink a lot more than this time."

Lan Qiaoer waved her hands and said confidently.

"That's good, come on, you eat a la carte first to fill your stomach."

Hearing this, Lin Tieniu immediately felt relieved, and picked up a piece of braised pork for Lan Qiaoer with his chopsticks.

"Ok!"

Lan Qiaoer nodded her head in agreement, and then buried her head in her mouth full of joy and began to eat.

In her opinion, being able to marry such a good man as Lin Tieniu is definitely the greatest luck in her life.

And Lin Tieniu couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw Lan Qiaoer's cute face.

Was it not his luck to be able to marry such a good wife?

It's just that maybe it's because he and Lan Qiaoer didn't meet each other at the end of the day like he and Li Xiuzhi did. He always felt that he and Lan Qiaoer didn't have that kind of heart-to-heart connection. No matter how deep it is, I like it more.

In the final analysis, all this is because he didn't get along very well in his previous life, so he believes in and looks forward to love in adversity.

Sometimes, he also thinks he is sick?
Obviously the girl gave him all her heart, but he still didn't fall in love with her. He just regarded her as a life partner, not a lover who loved him deeply.

Coupled with the problem of having children, if it is really because he does not love enough to have children, then it is really a tragedy.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Lan Qiaoer, thinking that next time, he might have to try to let go of his heart completely and love this daughter-in-law.

He didn't expect that in the end, because of his obsession with love, he would become a loner.

Lan Qiaoer didn't know what was going on in Lin Tieniu's mind. Seeing that Lin Tieniu hadn't moved her chopsticks, she immediately asked with some doubts: "Hey, brother Tieniu, why don't you eat?"

"Eat, I will eat now!"

Lin Tieniu came back to his senses when he heard the words, and replied with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, while turning his head to observe the situation at the scene.

Soon, he found that except for the main table, there was still a lot of food left, and the food on the other tables basically had only one plate left, and even the wine was almost finished.

This shows how delicious the food he cooks is.

Originally, according to the rules passed down from the ancestors, the general wedding event had to let the guests eat well, but in the current social environment, it is not bad to be able to eat, not to mention, the dishes he prepared are also enough hard.

Therefore, even if there were still leftovers from the prepared meals, neither he nor Jiang Guozhong wanted to serve the guests any more.

And the guests didn't have any objection to this. Compared with the villagers who stayed at home and ate corn bread, they were already making a lot of money by being invited to eat such a delicious meal, so how dare they ask for such a meal? How many!

What's more, both Lin Tieniu and Jiang Guozhong are well-known figures in this village. To put it bluntly, even if Lin Tieniu and Jiang Guozhong entertain them with steamed buns and pickles, they have to applaud loudly.

Soon, with the efforts of everyone, all the food was eaten up.

Seeing that the guests were about to leave, Lin Tieniu hurriedly pulled Lan Qiaoer up to see them off.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can have no fancy clothes, but he can't be rude.

No matter what kind of mix a person is, the most basic etiquette must be done.

Otherwise, it will only increase the number of jokes!

Not long after, during the send-off of Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer, the guests gradually left, leaving only the aunts who were invited to help, and Jiang Guozhong and his family.

Afterwards, Jiang Guozhong was busy directing the two brothers Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Jianjun to move the borrowed tables, chairs and benches back to the village committee, while Aunt Zhao and Lan Qiaoer were busy cleaning things.

When everything was done, Lin Tieniu took out most of the specially reserved food and distributed it to the aunts as a thank you for their help.

At this point, the wedding banquet between him and Lan Qiaoer is over.

Then, the couple offered tea to Mr. Jiang Deqing, Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao.

Originally, this link should have been placed before the wedding banquet, but Jiang Guozhong considered that Lin Tieniu was from the old Lin family, and it was not good to serve him tea in front of the villagers, so as not to make people misunderstand that Lin Tieniu was adopted to him.

Although Lin Tieniu didn't care much about this, he didn't raise any objections.

Only Mr. Jiang Deqing was a little disappointed.
