Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 73 73. The Engagement Banquet
Lin Qingping nodded. After he went out, he went directly to the kitchen, told Jin Dahua that dinner was ready, and then went back to the main room to entertain everyone.

Because it was an engagement banquet which was different from other banquets, the tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks set up in the yard were borrowed by Zhou Guihe and his wife, Sun Damei, from the villagers who had a good relationship with the family, and they also rebuilt these tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks. Wash it again.

In the kitchen, Sun Yumei neatly poured out the dishes from the wooden bucket in soup bowls. Each dish was measured in the last five soup bowls. As soon as the dishes were put into the bowls, they were brought to the yard by Zhou Guihe and Sun Damei. on the table.

The people who came to dinner today were all relatives of the two families, so everyone did not talk about politeness. Except for Grandpa Sun who sat at the top table, that is, the main seat, the rest of the Sun family sat at a separate table, which happened to be full.

It was the same with the old Zhou family. Zhou Daye took the main seat, Zhou Jinshi sat at the table with his two sons and daughter-in-law and his daughter Zhou Guizhi's family, Lin Yizheng and the others sat at the table with Xie Lu and Zhou Jixi. As for Zhou Jiwen and Zhou Jiwu of Zhou Guihe's family, because they were young, Zhou Jin took them to sit together.

Zhou Guitang's family also sat at a table alone, and Zhou Guitang and Zhou Guilin and his wife sat at the main seat. Zhou Mingmin sat at a table with Zhou Guitang's family, and Lin Qingping and his wife, Lin Qingxi and Zhou Baiming sat on the main seat. As well as Zhou Guilin and his wife, Zhou Daye, Zhou Dajiang and his wife, and Grandpa Sun, after all, these are the key people in today's engagement banquet.

During the meal, everyone was eating and drinking while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After the meal, Sun Yumei and the others stayed to clean up the dishes, and the Sun family and Zhou Guitang's family took their families home after eating. I didn't keep my natal family, anyway, they were not far away, so I let them go.

After Sun Yumei packed up the dishes, Zhou Guihe and Aunt Sun went to the bar to return the tables, chairs, stools, and bowls and chopsticks. They also packed a bowl of leftovers that they hadn't eaten at noon today and took them to the home of the person who lent them the tables, chairs, stools, and bowls and chopsticks. As a thank you.

After the people dispersed, the courtyard of the Lin family became much more spacious. Lin Qingxi asked Lin Qingping and his wife to entertain everyone, and took Zhou Baibai to the room.

"Here, these are the clothes I made for Sister Mingmin, the three little ones, and your grandma. I didn't take them out just now because there were too many people. I was mainly worried that Grandpa Sun and the others would have ideas. Do you mind?" Lin Qing While talking, Xi took out the padded jacket he had made from the kang cabinet.

There is a lot of cotton and cloth in Lin Qingxi's space. The Zhou family treats her very well. From the time they settled in Zhoujiatun to the present, Zhou Guitang's family has helped her a lot, so she is not stingy with the cotton and cloth.

"I don't mind, it's yours. You can give it to whoever you want. You can make up your own mind." Zhou Mingming shook his head. He and the Sun family had a similar relationship. When they were young, they were poor. The uncle's family helped them the most. The Sun family didn't show much, and it was not easy for his mother to marry his father.

"It's good that you don't mind, just take it out for me! Anyway, the ones left now are all from my own family," Lin Qingxi said with a sly look on her face, which made Zhou Ming's heart itch.

When Lin Qingxi and Zhou Mingming came to the main room with a pile of padded jackets, everyone was shocked. How much cotton and cloth would it take to make so many padded jackets!Everyone felt distressed and sad.

"Grandma, grandma, this is a padded jacket made for you. You can wear it to see if it fits you well," Lin Qingxi said as she handed the padded jacket over.

"Sister Mingmin, this is made for you and Xiaolu. You guys should try it out. If it doesn't suit you, you can change it yourself." After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she handed over the clothes of Zhou Mingmin, mother and daughter.

"This... Girl Xi, these are too expensive, we can't take them," Zhou Dajiang touched some brand-new cotton jackets with trembling hands. He lived so old, only his own wife cared about his cold winter and thought about making cotton jackets for him. , I didn't expect that after so many years, I felt such care from the junior again.

"Yeah! Girl Xi, these clothes are worth a lot of money, I can't take them, you can change them for them to wear!" Zhou Mingmin also refused, she had already accepted too much kindness from her natal family.

"I made it for you and it's yours. We can't wear it either. You're welcome, we're all a family. You just have to treat me better in the future," Lin Qingxi said cleverly.

"Yeah! Old man Jiang, girl Min, just accept it! Just like our girl Xi said, you just have to treat her better in the future. You see, we have it too. When girl Xi first came, she gave us two A new cotton-padded jacket and quilt made by an old man," Zhou Daye said with a look of trepidation, which made Zhou Dajiang and his wife, who didn't want to accept it, bite the bullet and accept it.

"Okay, girl Xi, then we'll have the cheek to accept it," Zhou Dajiang looked at the thin padded jackets on himself and his wife, and swallowed it again if he wanted to refuse. The children in the family are not unfilial. , It's just that they are getting old, even if they make new clothes, they haven't worn them for a few years, so they might as well keep them for their great-grandchildren.

"That's right, mom and dad, girl Xi gave it to you, just accept it. From now on, everyone will be a family, and it's not good to see outsiders," Zhou Guilin said with a smile on his face. Being able to think about his old parents and daughter's family, he was naturally very grateful and moved in his heart. He would not say nice words, but decided to discuss with his wife after going back, and he must treat Lin Qingxi as his own daughter in the future.

Everyone liked Lin Qingxi's move. They didn't decide that Lin Qingxi wasted fabric and cotton by doing these things. Instead, they felt warm in their hearts. This also honored Lin Qingxi's future status in the Zhou family.

"Yes, father and mother, the child's father is right. You see, our family has many houses now, but the elder brother has more people and fewer houses. Would you like to move to our house to show the child to Min girl, who is young?" I have to go to work in the future, and I have to take care of you two at home," said Aunt Sun with a smile.

Hearing her words, Zhou Guilin looked expectantly at Zhou Dajiang and his elders. He didn't expect his wife to ask his parents to live here, and the others didn't expect Aunt Sun to come.

"The second son's family, parents live well in our house, why did they come to live in your house?" Zhou Guitang looked at Aunt Sun with a worried face, secretly thinking that Zhou Guilin was treacherous, and actually wanted to trick his parents.

In fact, Zhou Guitang and Zhou Guilin brothers have a very good relationship, because their daughters-in-law are also very good, and the two brothers are very filial people, and their precepts and deeds lead their children to be very filial to their elders.

As for Zhou Guitang's youngest son, Zhou Mingxing, it was an accident. He was disrespectful to his elders by Zhou Sun's ears, and he was kicked out by Zhou Guitang. , the education of the eldest son and grandson has become more stringent.
