My village can't be like this

Chapter 483 Pony

"Then let's do it. I'll start preparations when I get back tonight."

Zhang An had originally decided not to bother, but since Zhang Jianwen said so, he would hold a party to make everyone lively.

After leaving Zhang Jianwen's house, Zhang An went to Zhou Yang's house.

"Yozi, will you have nothing to do later? If nothing happens, come with me to help. I have something to discuss with you later."

As soon as the transaction between the red eggs and Baijiaqian was completed, Zhang An directly requisitioned Zhou Yang.

Letting him join him in jumping into the stronghold would give him one more person to talk to, and Xiao Siqi's Full Moon Wine Zhang An planned to let Zhou Yang take charge of the kitchen, so he would definitely call him over to discuss everything later.

Instead of coming over later, it's better to call him away now.

"It's already late at night, how can anything else happen?"

Zhou Yang didn't even ask what Zhang An wanted from him, he just stood up and left with Zhang An.

Jumping from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, Zhang An had finished scattering the red eggs he brought from home.

At this moment, Zhang An was not only surrounded by Zhou Yang, but also Zhang Laosan, Huang Ming and several other people in the village.

They all asked about Zhang An's Full Moon Wine. When they learned that Zhang An would go to Zhou Yang to discuss the matter later, they took the initiative to follow him.

Coming over to help is secondary. There are more people than everyone else and there isn't much to do. The main reason is to come over and join in the fun.

There are very few banquets in the village these days, and there are basically no banquets throughout the year. Unlike later generations, there were banquets day after day.

So now whenever someone holds a banquet, everyone likes to go there and join in the fun, instead of being afraid of eating one after another like in later generations.

Moreover, besides celebrating the New Year, the furry children in the village also like to eat feasts the most.

Only then did Zhou Yang know why Zhang An came to him.

Back home, Wang Fang looked at the people who came back with Zhang An and thought they were just coming to play at home as usual.

There are many young people in the village now, and there is not much entertainment at night, so as long as a group of people agrees, they can just find one of them and set up a venue.

Generally, as long as you don't do this every day, no matter whose house you go to, the adults in his family won't say anything.

After all, in the future, when family members are gone, this group of people will still be relied upon to help send them out, so they will receive them warmly.

Most people will prepare tea and melon seeds and peanuts for the reception. These are grown at home and are not worth much, but they are often liked by everyone.

Of course, in the past, in addition to these foods, the most basic thing was wine.

The most popular thing at that time was a few kilograms of loose wine and a plate of fried peanuts. This was simply the highest level of treatment.

But last year, a few drunkards in the village set up a scene and had a great time. On the way home from drinking, they fell into a ditch and fell asleep.

His family was very worried and asked the villagers to get up in the middle of the night to help find him.

Everyone searched many places but could not find him. Finally, they found him sleeping soundly in the ditch in the village, which made everyone worry in vain.

After Zhang Jianwen asked about the reason, he got angry on the spot and scolded all of them.

Finally, everyone was ordered to change this habit. If anyone couldn't change it, their share of the village's money distribution at the end of the year would be cancelled.

Of course, everyone has no objections. After all, the money distributed to everyone by the village is earned by the village through various means, and everyone rarely contributes.

From then on, no one in the village dared to mention drinking, no matter whose house the venue was set up at.

After all, the amount of money the village distributes to everyone every year is not a small amount. Even when the village first started distributing it a few years ago, it was several hundred per family.

And everyone knows that Zhang Jianwen always does what he says, and does what he says, without joking with you at all.

Zhang An brought a pot of tea, and everyone gathered around the table to discuss. Wang Fang didn't care about them. After taking out the snacks, he went to play with little Siqi.

Zhou Yang was the perfect choice to be the chef, so after a few discussions with Zhang An, we started making arrangements.

There is no need to go out to buy vegetables this time, because there are many kinds of vegetables grown in Zhang An's vegetable field.

As for meat, there is no shortage of it. After all, Zhang An’s family raises several big fat pigs, as well as chickens, ducks, geese, and fish.

Let him directly use local materials and he can make many dishes.

As for the arrangements, they are just some other chores.

After hearing this, Wang Fang realized that everyone came here to organize the full moon banquet for Xiao Siqi.

She didn't understand. The family had obviously decided not to do anything. Why did Zhang An call everyone here again now?

But even though she had many questions in her mind, she didn't ask them out at the moment.

Full Moon Wine is different from weddings, weddings, weddings, weddings, funerals, etc. It usually only takes one day to do, and some people even only do one meal, so it won't be too troublesome.

There are still four days until Xiao Siqi's full moon. You only need to prepare one day in advance. You can start it a few days later.

Zhang An has always been most afraid of this kind of trouble, but with Zhou Yang helping to take care of it, he was like a normal person.

It didn't matter to Zhou Yang. He helped many families in countless nearby villages hold numerous banquets. This set of procedures was familiar to him, but it was just a casual matter.

"By the way, third brother, how many kilograms of kiwi fruits did you pick this year?"

After getting down to business, everyone started to set up the dragon gate array. At this time, someone mentioned the kiwi fruit that had just been harvested this year, because everyone present had grown it at home.

The reason why I ordered Zhang Laosan is because their family is the one that grows the most kiwi fruits among all the people here.

In this village, apart from Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye, Zhang Laosan is the one who grows the most kiwifruit, so everyone asks him directly.

"Hey, there aren't many this year, only less than 10,000 kilograms."

Speaking of this, Zhang Laosan was very happy. Their family sold more than 9,000 kilograms of kiwi fruits this year and made almost 10,000 yuan from Lu Cheng.

This is because of the impact of the flood. Otherwise, this number could have doubled again, because he used all the land at home to grow kiwi fruit.

In fact, he thought that this year was in vain at first. Despair first and then hope appeared, which was the reason why he was happiest.

"What about your family, Lao Liu?"

Lao Liu is not really Lao Liu, his name is Yang Lao Liu.

Just like Chen Laoliu's family, there are many children in their family, and the adults are not very good at naming them, so they simply arrange them in order of one, two, three, four, five, and six, and whoever comes first is the oldest.

"Hehe, our family weighs less than 10,000 pounds."

When Yang Laoliu heard Zhang Laosan ask him in turn, he smiled and answered.

"Go, go, listen to his nonsense. The few acres of land my family has are not able to harvest ten thousand kilograms without disaster." At this time, Yang Laoliu's brother Yang Laowu exposed him mercilessly.

Although the two of them are in the five and six lines, they are actually twins. Yang Laowu is only a few minutes older than Yang Laoliu, so the two of them usually don't look like brothers at all.

"Why am I talking nonsense? Although our family only picked about 3,000 catties this year, do you think it is less than 10,000 catties?"

Although Yang Laowu had revealed his secrets, Yang Laoliu looked like he didn't care at all, and instead became even more proud.

Now it was everyone's turn to be speechless. Three thousand catties was indeed less than ten thousand catties. No one could refute this.

It's just that his weight of less than 10,000 kilograms is not a little bigger than that of Zhang Laosan, who weighs less than 10,000 kilograms.

After the date was decided and everything was probably arranged, everyone had a great time bragging. When they came to their senses, they realized that it was already getting late, so they got up and went back to their respective homes.

By this time, the little guy had already been carried to bed by Su Ying, while Wang Fang was still downstairs.

Normally, she would have fallen asleep a long time ago, but now she is still awake, just waiting for everyone to leave before asking Zhang An again.

"Xiao An, didn't our family agree not to do anything before? Why are you suddenly thinking about this again?"

In fact, the happiest person in the family to be able to organize a full-moon party for little Siqi is Wang Fang, not Su Ying as the mother.

After all, Su Ying grew up in the city, so she didn't really care about this aspect.

"Actually, I didn't think about it, but when I went to my uncle's house, he told me that if our family had the conditions, we would put on a show to make the village lively, so I called them over to discuss it."

After Zhang An repeated Zhang Jianwen's words of persuasion to his mother, Wang Fang probably understood it.

"Then, let's go and pick up your grandparents when our family is full moon."

When Wang Fang said this, he was a little bit choppy, and he kept looking at Zhang An, for fear that he would be unhappy because of this matter.

In fact, she knew that if she just picked up Zhang An's grandmother, Zhang An would definitely not say anything, but would be very happy.

But this time she also brought Zhang An's grandfather with her. Zhang An had never had a good relationship with his grandfather, and she was still very reluctant to associate with him. This is what Wang Fang was worried about.

"Okay, I'll pick her up the day after tomorrow. Grandma hasn't seen little Siqi yet."

Zhang An agreed very readily, which made Wang Fang a little unbelievable, but then she heard that the words only mentioned the old lady, but did not mention a word about the old man. She thought that Zhang An just went to pick up the old lady. It’s no wonder Zhang An’s reaction.

"And your grandpa, please take him over too, otherwise he will be alone at home, and he also wants to come over and take a look at little Siqi."

Therefore, Wang Fang added another sentence.

Zhang An didn't speak this time, and just nodded to his mother.

Wang Fang thought that Zhang An didn't know anything about her secret phone call to Old Man Wang, but in fact, Zhang An had known about it for a long time.

It's not that he didn't hear clearly just now, it's just that he doesn't dislike Old Man Wang so much now.

Because he knew that Old Man Wang's temperament had changed a lot in the past two years compared to before. Although it was due to external material factors, it had indeed changed.

However, it is basically impossible in this life for Zhang An to respect him as much as he respects his second grandfather or grandmother.

After all, when he was young, the shadow left by Old Man Wang's face on him was so profound that even time could not fade it away.

On the other hand, he was able to forgive Old Man Wang because he took Wang Fang's thoughts into consideration.

No matter how bad it was before, he was his mother's biological father after all.

Maybe it doesn't matter when you are young, but when you get older, obsession will appear.

That's why Zhang An didn't want his mother to have any unresolved problems in the future, so he chose to forgive Old Man Wang. After all, he didn't have much time left.

Afterwards, Zhang An did not go to bed directly, but went to the circle to add some night grass to the Dahei couple.

Zhang Jianguo used to do this because he could do it easily when feeding the sheep.

But it can't be done now. The Dahei couple except Zhang An won't let anyone else near the horse pen.

Because the white horse at home has been carrying cubs for a year, I calculated the time and estimated that Ponyboy was born in the past few days.

It is also for this reason that the tempers of the Dahei couple became more and more violent, so they seemed to avoid strangers.

But because he had the cubs with him, he couldn't let them starve, so Zhang An could only do this by himself.

When Zhang An came to the horse pen with an armful of grass, he found that Taxue was no longer standing as usual, but was lying on his side on the ground.

As soon as he saw this, Zhang An knew that Ta Xue was going to give birth tonight.

But he was not panicked at all, because he had already delivered babies to many animals in his family and was already considered a relatively experienced obstetrician among veterinarians.

Zhang An just watched quietly in the horse pen, because animals can give birth without human intervention, so try not to interfere, so that the babies will not be born with any defects.

For example, in Zhang An's family's sheep flock, the lambs that were pulled out by Zhang An because of dystocia survived. But when they grew up, they were not as good as the other lambs. Their endurance was the most obvious.

And Dahei, who used to look like a scumbag, is now lowering his head and licking his wife.

Zhang An felt happy, it turned out that there was something in this world that this guy cared about.

After waiting for Zhang An for more than half an hour, the pony cub in Texue's belly was finally born smoothly.

There was no problem during the whole process, and there was nothing strange even when walking in the snow.

After a long time, under the licks of Dahei and Taxue, the wet pony was licked dry.

At this moment, he slowly lifted himself up from the ground with four tiny hooves, looking trembling and frightened.

The little guy has green and black fur, which is very similar to Dahei. He must have inherited many of his genes.

It's just that there is a little bit of white left among the tens of thousands of black points on his forehead. This should be inherited from Texue.

But Zhang An felt it was a pity, because what he hoped the pony could inherit the most was the white hair on its hooves.

"Xiao An, why did it take you so long to feed a horse?"

Wang Fang, who had been in the room, saw Zhang An coming out and not going back for a long time, so he ran over.

"Our mare just gave birth, so I stayed here for a while."

Wang Fang pointed at the pony and said to her mother. Wang Fang immediately became very happy when she saw the little guy. After all, who doesn't like the prosperity of the six animals?
