Chapter 73 Making Full Moon Wine for Children

Yuan Guishan woke up at four o'clock in the morning.Usually, he turned over and changed his sleeping position, and he would fall asleep again soon, but when he woke up today, he couldn't fall asleep again.He turned his head and looked at Liu Meihui next to him, and saw that Liu Meihui was breathing evenly and long, sleeping soundly. He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he got up lightly, put on his clothes, opened the door, and walked out .

Today is the grandson's full moon day, and according to local customs, the child is given full moon wine.About half a month ago, their family started to make preparations for this event, buying gifts, issuing invitations, and inviting chefs. They were so busy that three chefs entered the venue the day before yesterday and decided on the dishes for the banquet.Yesterday Yuan Wuhua drove to the county seat and Huangqiao Town with two chefs to purchase all the dishes. The three chefs were busy until midnight before preparing dozens of tables of dishes.

The three generations of the Yuan family were single-handed. This time, Wuhua gave birth to a son. Yuan Guishan was full of joy, walked like a breeze, and was brisk, with a smile on his face every day.

Yuan Guishan felt that this child brought him a good omen. After the child was born, happy events followed one after another.The paper product market is normal, but there is also a situation where the supply exceeds demand. Not only are the paper products produced in the first half of the year sold out, but the price has increased by more than [-]%, alleviating the shortage of funds.Since September, there has been constant rain, and the Qingjiang River is generally full of half of the river. The production of the paper mill is also very smooth, and the output has reached the second highest value in history.

What made Yuan Guishan even more happy was that Wei Zhiping came to Zhangshuwan three times within a month and praised the work of Wushan Village at various meetings many times.Yesterday afternoon, he was moving the things bought by Wuhua to his home when Secretary Wei came again.Seeing that so many people were busy, Wei Zhiping asked Yuan Guishan if there was any happy event at home.Yuan Guishan hesitated for a while and told him.Secretary Wei immediately burst into laughter, congratulated repeatedly, and said that he must come to the house for a drink tomorrow.

Yuan Guishan opened the kitchen door, turned on the light, and all kinds of dishes and raw materials were piled up in the room.At this time, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was Liu Meihui who had come.

Yuan Guishan asked, "Why are you up too?"

After he and Liu Meihui saw off the chef last night, they didn't go to bed until after one o'clock in the morning.

Liu Meihui said, "I can't sleep anymore, let's take a look."

Yuan Guishan said: "Our group has done some calculations, and it may be enough to add a few more tables."

Liu Meihui said: "There are already thirty tables, which is more than when Wuhua and the others got married. Do you want to add more?"

Yuan Guishan said: "Secretary Wei said yesterday that I guess some leaders from the town government will come, and there will be an extra table here. When Wuhua got married, the owners of the paper factory were not invited. They have ideas. This time they sent invitations, and they want to add another table There are two tables. You see, it’s two or three tables if you do any calculations.”

Liu Meihui said: "But how do you arrange the table? The last time Wuhua got married, they ate in batches. The room is too small to be arranged."

Yuan Guishan said: "I thought about it for a while, and opened four tables at Dongming's house in the back, and allocated some visitors to go there."

Liu Meihui thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the only way."

The two opened the door and saw the sky full of stars. Yuan Guishan said, "The weather is good today, it's sunny."

A red cloth shed was set up in the yard outside, and ten tables were spread out. Yuan Guishan took a closer look and felt that there was nothing missing.

Not long after, He Yihai came and asked, "Brother Shan, the chef hasn't come yet?"

Yuan Guishan invited He Yihai to be the head of the banquet.

"Yihai, it's so early!" Yuan Guishan said with a smile: "The chef hasn't come, so he should be here soon."

After a while, three chefs came one after another, greeted them, and started working.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yuan Wuhua went to Jiangwan to pick up Tao Lanying and Tang Peng. Liu Meihui went to pick them up under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and accompanied them to Tang Qinglian's room.Tao Lanying entered the room and saw the child sleeping soundly in the cradle, with a ruddy complexion, very cute, she walked over and bent down to kiss the child's face.

Tang Peng reached out to touch the child's face, and Tao Lanying slapped him on the hand, saying: "Pengpeng, you are only allowed to look, not to touch. Did you hear that?"

Tang Peng raised his head and looked at his mother with a smile, then turned his head to look at his sister, nodded and said, "Well, I won't touch it."

Tao Lanying looked up and asked with a smile, "Mother-in-law, have you named the child yet?"

Liu Meihui said with a smile: "I have chosen several names, but they are not satisfactory. I haven't decided yet. We still call him Lele. This name was chosen by you, grandma! Haha..."

At that time, the child was born, the mother and child were safe, and there was another boy. Everyone was very happy, so Tao Lanying gave the child this baby name.

After looking at the child for a while, Liu Meihui smiled and said to Tao Lanying: "My mother-in-law, I won't accompany you anymore, I have some things to do."

Tao Lanying smiled and said, "Oh, my mother-in-law, we don't want to accompany you! You are too busy today, go get busy!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and sent Liu Meihui to the door.

Tao Lanying turned around and came over and asked, "Is the milk enough now?"

After Tang Qinglian gave birth to her child, Tao Lanying came to take care of both mother and child.In the first few days, the milk supply was insufficient, so Tao Lanying took some ancestral recipes, and after two or three days of conditioning, the milk supply increased.Tao Lanying took care of her for half a month before returning to Jiangwan.

Tang Qinglian said: "Foot! Sometimes he can't eat, and I still feel a little bloated."

After hearing this, Tao Lanying hurriedly said: "Squeeze out if there is too much, and don't break it."

Tang Qinglian said: "No, my mother-in-law guards Lele and me every day. She told me how to do it."

Tao Lanying said with a smile: "In the past, your mother-in-law always said that this one in the bay had a baby, and that one had a baby, and she was very envious. Now she is happy!"

Tang Qinglian smiled and said, "Exactly, I haven't seen anyone who loves children like her."

Tang Peng sat for a while, feeling bored, stood up and yelled to go out, Tao Lanying gave him a few words of advice, and let him go out.

Tang Qinglian didn't see her father, and asked, "Mom, where's your father? Is he still at work today?"

Tao Lanying said: "I didn't go to work, I asked for leave yesterday. Your grandfather went to your brother-in-law's house on the mountain after breakfast."

Tang Qinglian asked: "What are you doing at your brother-in-law's house?"

Tao Lanying paused for a while, looked at Qinglian and said, "I don't know, there must be something wrong."

Tang Qinglian said: "Mommy, you don't know what's going on with my master? How can my master come here?"

Tao Lanying said, "It should be soon."

Tang Qinglian still wanted to ask, but Yuan Feng said outside, "I haven't seen my nephew for a few days, I really want to kiss him hard."

Before the words were finished, Yuan Feng walked in, followed by Wuhua's sisters.

Tang Qinglian stood up and called out with a smile, "Auntie."

I greeted several sisters again, and everyone greeted Tao Lanying with a smile.

Yuan Feng smiled and said: "Qingqing, you still call me Auntie! Now I've become an aunt, and you haven't called me aunt a few times yet."

Tang Qinglian smiled and called "Auntie" quickly, and said, "Auntie...ah, Auntie, I've already called it fluently, and I can't change it all at once."

Yuan Feng and several older sisters walked to the side of the cradle where Lele was sleeping, and Yuan Feng murmured, "This child really grows up after seeing the wind. He has only seen him for a few days, and he has grown up a bit. It really changes every day."

Yuan Feng came over the next day after Tang Qinglian gave birth, and later visited several times.

Yuan Feng turned her head and said, "Is this the first time for you aunts to see Lele?"

The elder sister said: "Auntie, we were all there on the day you came!"

Yuan Feng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Haha... At that time, I just went to watch Lele and didn't pay attention to you."

The third sister said: "Oh, Lele looks so good! She's rosy and white, so cute."

Everyone gathered around the cradle and watched Lele keep saying nice things, while Tang Qinglian looked at everyone with a pursed smile.

After looking at the children for a while, everyone sat down and chatted.Not long after I said it, a large group of sisters-in-law, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law from Wanli came in to see the child, praised him, and then all left.After a while, Yuan Feng and several sisters also left.

At this time Lele woke up, Tang Qinglian hurriedly picked up the baby, opened her clothes and bowed her head to feed the baby.

Tang Qinglian asked Tao Lanying to close the door, Tao Lanying said with a smile: "Qingqing, you feed the child, it's fine."

Still got up to close the door.

Before the door was closed, Tao Xinping came in and shouted as soon as he entered the room: "Qingqing, you are really good! You gave birth to a big fat boy so soon."

Tang Qinglian raised her head and greeted with a smile, "Sister Xinping."

Seeing that Tao Lanying was also there, Tao Xinping smiled and called out, "Gu, you're here."

Tao Lanying said, "Peace of mind, I've been here for a while."

Tao Xinping walked up to Qinglian, bent down to look at the child, and said: "This child is really good-looking. He is so fair and clean, I look like you, Qingqing. His father has dark skin, so he will definitely not follow his father."

Tao Lanying smiled and said, "Lele is like Qingqing."

Tao Xinping smiled and said: "The baby is like a mother, with blue tiles and walls. This child will have a good life in the future."

Both Tao Lanying and Tang Qinglian laughed.

Tang Qinglian asked: "Miss Xinping, is my grandfather here?"

"coming."

"What is my grandfather doing at your house?"

Tao Xinping glanced at Tao Lanying, seeing Tao Lanying winking at her vigorously, he said, "No...nothing, let's go for a walk."

Tang Qinglian glanced at her mother, then fell silent, and asked Tao Xinping, "Sister Xinping, where is my grandfather?"

Tao Xinping said, "Uncle Yihai is with him."

At this time, Yuan Wuhua went upstairs to the room and said, "Mom, Qingqing, Secretary Wei is here, and I told you to carry the child down."

When Tang Qinglian heard this, a blush appeared on her face, and she said, "Are you going to see a guest? Isn't it good?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "What's wrong with this, it's almost time for dinner, you have to eat, right?"

Tang Qinglian said: "Didn't your mother say that you arranged a table here?"

Tao Lanying said from the side: "Qingqing, let's go, the child is full moon, and I have to go out to get some air."
