Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 122 Celebration
While talking, the old man and Zhixin also came in.Seeing her eldest grandson, Mrs. Chen hurriedly called Wenhan to her side, "Come on, grandson, come to grandma and let grandma see if she has lost weight?"

Wenhan sat down beside his grandmother with a smile, "Grandma, I'm not thin, isn't that good? Everything is fine outside, Guoqiang is smart, and his diet and daily life are well arranged. This time, Zixuan, Pengcheng and I All of them were selected as scholars, Zixuan is the most powerful, No.3, I am 21, Pengcheng [-], we have all been selected as geriatric students, and we are going to study in the county school next time. The rice can be collected, basically not spending the family’s money.”

Just now outside, everyone only cared about dealing with the outsiders, so they really didn't have time to ask how Zixuan and Pengcheng were doing.Now that he heard that all three of them had passed the examination of scholar, the old man was even more happy.This Wenhan is the grandson, Peng Cheng is the grandson-in-law, and the other Zixuan may also become the grandson-in-law.Unexpectedly, these three newly released scholars are all related to the Xu family. Could the old man be unhappy? "Wenhan, why didn't you see Zixuan?"

"Grandpa, we came back together, Zixuan went home. This is a happy event, of course we must let Uncle Lin know." Wen Han explained with a smile. "Pengcheng has also gone home. I guess he will come tonight or tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Chen glanced at the old man, "You, the older you are, the more you need to think about things. We are all looking forward to Wenhan's return, isn't it the same for the Lin family? This is good, Zixuan The child is really good, and it's really amazing to get the third place in the exam." Mrs. Chen had already heard the old man say that Zixuan was interested in Jinghan, so she said this while looking at Jinghan.

Jinghan was also happy for her brother and brother-in-law. She was not too surprised that Zixuan was admitted as a scholar. The knowledge of these three people is similar, so there is no reason to be left behind.But she didn't have any other thoughts about Zixuan, so she behaved normally.

When Chen saw it, she sighed secretly in her heart, why did Jinghan usually look like a ghost, but when it came to her own feelings, she was so slow?Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly, the younger generation's affairs should be handled by themselves, and the adults should not interfere easily.

The old man here was discussing with Zhixin and Zhiming about the evening wine arrangement. The Xu family had moved to the town for a few years, and the neighbors in this neighborhood got along well.Just taking this opportunity, everyone has a drink together, which can be regarded as enhancing the relationship.

"Boss, hurry up and inform the Sun family to let shopkeeper Sun come to drink. In addition, Ye Er also hurriedly sent a letter. We have gotten along well all these years, so we can't leave them behind. "The old man said while thinking about who to invite, "There is also Qingnian, let me tell you, and the fourth one."

As soon as the old lady heard it, she said, "Just tell Qingnian, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, Huixin may be here for a few days, I'm afraid I dare not leave him. I will make up when I have time later. "Huixin's pregnancy was very hard, she vomited until six months, and she was tossing a lot, Qingnian was worried.

Zhixin nodded, and it happened that Guoqiang came back with Wenhan, so he sent Wenhan and Guoqiang to deliver letters and invite him to drink. "Wenhan, they are all your elders. If you go there in person, you will give them face. Go, this is a happy event, you should go."

Wen Han agreed, went back to the house and changed his clothes, and then led Guoqiang out.

Xue and the others bought a lot of vegetables, as well as chicken and pork, and they also had a lot of cooked food. In this era, there are some cooked food sellers, such as roast chicken, pork head meat, etc., but they are more expensive.But Mrs. Xue didn't care about those anymore, and bought a lot of everything, and Wen Cheng drove the ox cart back.Everyone hurriedly picked vegetables, cut meat, and prepared the banquet at noon.While picking vegetables, Jinghan said, "I should have let Honglian and the others come back with me. If there are too many people, it will be fast. Mom, how many tables do we have to prepare for tonight?"

Mrs. Xue made a rough calculation, and then said, "Let's prepare according to six tables. When we buy, we always buy a lot. Even if there are many people coming, we are not afraid. This is because our family moved to the town. If it is in the village Why don’t you set up a dozen or twenty tables?”

The Jinghan sisters are all working in the kitchen. In the past few years, under the guidance of Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu, the girls of the Xu family have all learned good cooking skills.Even Jing Xian can cook a lot of good dishes at a young age, so everyone doesn't seem to be flustered at all, and they do what they need to do, and they are very organized.

Wen Cheng led his younger brothers and went to the nearby neighbor's house to borrow tables, chairs, dishes and other household items.Of course the Xu family didn't have so many tables and chairs anymore, and there was no time to go to the special place to rent them, so they had to go to the neighbor's house to borrow them.

It didn't take long to borrow all the things I needed.At this time, the weather was still warm, so the banquet could be placed outside. Wen Cheng led Wen Xuan and Wen Chang to set the table together. Of course, Ming Yu was not idle and was busy with everyone.

As soon as the children set the table, many neighbors from the neighborhood came, and a few daughter-in-laws from the neighborhood came to help with the cooking.Now it's even faster, and in a short while, several dishes have been fried in the kitchen.In addition, Mrs. Zhu cut up the cooked food exactly, and six or seven dishes came out at once.

"Jinghan, hurry up and help serve the dishes, I guess there should be a lot of people outside." Seeing that the dishes were almost ready, Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked Jinghan and the others to serve them outside.

Jinghan and the others had already picked and washed the vegetables, and they happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so they took the vegetables out and sent them out.

The six tables in the yard were full of people.Usually it's the neighbors around here, of course there's shopkeeper Sun, Ye Laoer also brought a few of his brothers over.Zhide also came, together with Zhixin and the others, they were entertaining these people.Since he didn't see Tao Qingnian, he probably didn't dare to leave Huixin.

The dishes were put on the table, and Wen Cheng put a jar of wine on each table and poured wine for everyone.When Zhixin saw that the dishes were almost ready, he held up his wine glass, "Neighbors, today is a good day for Xiaoer Wenhan, come, let's drink to our heart's content, and we will never go home until we are drunk." Zhixin drank the wine all at once. up.

The people next to them also raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses. "Brother Xu is very lucky. His son has passed the examination of scholar, and even his son-in-law has also passed the examination this time. This is a great joy." One person said so.

They were all in the same town, and the sons of the Xu family and the Yue family had both passed the examination as a scholar. It didn't take long for people to know the news.Coupled with the in-law relationship between the two families, there are many more topics.Everyone is envious of the Xu family. Their son is able to be admitted to the scholar, and even the son-in-law is so capable.

The table at the old man's table is full of older people, and all these old men are there to praise Wen Han and praise the old man for his good fortune.Xu Chengkuan grinned happily, just a smile.

This drink started at the beginning of noon and continued until the end of the day. People blushed after drinking one by one, and some people talked a little bit tongue-in-cheek.A person in the same grade as Zhixin, holding a wine glass, wandered to Zhixin's side. "Brother Xu, come, my younger brother respects you. The eldest brother is a capable person, and all the children in the family are promising. In the future, the eldest brother's family will be prosperous, so don't forget the younger brother."

Zhixin also drank a lot, but fortunately he had a lot of alcohol and looked better. "What did Brother Li say? We are all from the village. As long as I can help, brother, just ask. Who doesn't have a big or small affair?"

"Okay, I like to hear what elder brother said. From now on, elder brother can talk about things at home, and younger brother will definitely not refuse." The man drank with Zhixin, and then staggered back to his seat.

Everyone had a good time drinking the wine, and an older man looked at this and said, "Okay, it's getting late, we should go home. The scholar master just came back from Zhoucheng, I'm also very tired, and we've almost drunk the wine, so let's go when it's time to go."

After hearing this, everyone agreed repeatedly, so they each got up, said goodbye to Brother Zhixin and left.The three brothers Zhixin came to the gate and sent everyone out.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly took people to clear the table, and then served two more tables of food. These helping daughters-in-law and his family all sat down and had a meal together.After the meal, the daughters-in-law helped clean out all the dishes and separated them according to the marks of each family.Then he bid farewell to Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu. "Sister-in-law, let's go first. In the future, sister-in-law is free to say anything. We can't help you otherwise. This cooking is okay." A daughter-in-law said before leaving.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu packed up some useless cooked food and brought some for each of them, "Sister, these are not on the table, take them home and give them to the children." This is generally the case for rural people , When preparing the banquet, I will prepare more, and distribute the leftovers to those who come to help. Of course, when sending home supplies, I also have to send a copy to them.

The daughters-in-law declined a bit and took them all.Xue's sister-in-law sent the family away, and then arranged for Wen Cheng and the others to send back the borrowed household items. Naturally, they must bring some vegetables back.

After Wen Cheng and the others delivered all the borrowed things, everyone sat down to rest.Wen Han said apologetically, "For the sake of the child, both mother and aunt have been troubled, Wen Han is really sorry."

"What are you talking about? You are embarrassing our parents. Not everyone's children can be admitted to the scholar. No matter how tired my mother is, she is very beautiful in her heart." Xue patted her son's head and smiled. said.

"Okay, today is indeed enough for you to be tired. Let's rest. You don't need to make any dishes tonight. I will just heat up the leftovers. You all go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow is a holiday again. Let's have a good reunion." Mrs. Chen said, telling everyone to rest.
