Chapter 263

"Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, my classmate invited me to her house to make half-dan. Do you know what making half-dan is? Do I need to bring some gifts to the door?" Gu Nuannuan suddenly said this at the dinner table, which immediately triggered Zhang Dazhuang, Wen Xiu, Zhang Weiqiang, Lin Qin, Zhang Su, Zhang Kai, Zhang Minzhen and Song Yong all looked over.

It is customary for the three families to have dinner on Friday night, and the place is set at the villa of Zhang Dazhuang and Wen Xiu. If there is nothing particularly important, everyone will come back for dinner on this day.Today is no exception, so the talents are so complete.

"Bandan? Making Bandan is actually a custom in this neighborhood. Generally, the time varies from place to place and from village to place. Everyone takes turns to invite people to the banquet at home. Speaking of which, many places do it quite differently on this day." The Chinese New Year is still lively. People with money and conditions invite more people, and there are a dozen or twenty tables for banquets. Anyway, the more people you invite, the more face you have; of course, if you have no money and no conditions It doesn’t matter if the number of people invited is small, some of them just invite a table of their own relatives, and it’s always fun.” Zhang Dazhuang narrowed his eyes and recalled.

"That's right, our village has done this before, but later everyone's life was difficult, and it was gradually canceled. Why, has it started again?" Wen Xiu also added with a smile, "Yes, everyone's now The days are slowly getting better. Nuan Nuan has the opportunity to go and see it. It's quite interesting. At that time, there will be welcome to the gods, lion dances and so on, and people from every house will be there There will also be an incense table at the door to welcome them."

The words of Wen Xiu and Zhang Dazhuang aroused the interest of Zhang Su and Zhang Kai, and Zhang Kai said with great interest: "Grandma, since other villages have restored this custom, can we also suggest that our village also What about recovery?"

"No. Now our family's conditions are getting better, but there are still many poor families in the village. After all, it is a waste of money to do this. Even if you invite someone to come to your house once a year for free, it's not right for most people. It is quite a heavy burden." Zhang Dazhuang shook his head and refused without thinking, "If people in the village or clan bring it up, we will naturally not object to it, but let's not mention it if we are asked to take the lead to facilitate this matter."

"Your grandpa is right, don't say that in the future. In fact, if you want me to say that there is no good to do with this spare money? Even if it is to donate more schoolbags, stationery and clothes to the children in those poor places." Zhang Weiqiang stood aside Quite disapprovingly.

"How can this be the same? One yard counts for one yard. If you say that our company doesn't donate enough money throughout the year?" Wen Xiu didn't quite agree with her son's words, "But I agree with what your father said. Although our family Get up, but you can't just care about yourself and want to show off and ignore other people's lives."

Gu Nuannuan smiled as she listened, this seemed to be a bit off topic.

"By the way, Nuannuan, where does that classmate of yours live, and what's his name? Playing well with you, right?" Zhang Minzhen smiled and nodded, "It's good to have more contacts with classmates."

"Lin Qiao, Shuangmu Lin, skillful and skillful. She is generally a classmate who is a little better. She lives not far away, just one stop in front of our house. I haven't been to the specific place name, and I didn't ask." So clearly, she said that she would pick me up at the station at ten o'clock tomorrow. Then I'll just walk over from home." Gu Nuannuan took a chopstick of Flammulina velutipes into her mouth and chewed slowly.

"That place should be Yingkou Village, that's right. When I was in the company today, I heard someone talking about people from Yingkou Village in our company who are inviting people to do half-dan at home." Song Yong responded casually.

"Oh. No one of you has told me yet, what am I going to bring to my classmate's house tomorrow?" Gu Nuannuan looked at a few people at home.

"Usually, you don't need to bring anything when you go to someone's home for half-hours, because everyone usually invites each other." Wen Xiu thought for a while, "But it's okay if you want to bring something, otherwise you can bring ten Go for a catty of oil."

"Okay." Gu Nuannuan nodded happily, she didn't like to owe others at all, so if she came to the door with something, she would feel less burdened.

The next day, Gu Nuannuan showed up at the appointment with Lin Qiao on time, carrying a large bucket of oil and a large bag of apples that Zhang Minzhen had prepared for herself. Yuan Ruo, pointing at her and stammering: "Nuan, Nuan Nuan, you, why don't you know that you don't need to bring anything when you're invited to someone else's home to do half-dance?"

"My grandma said it's okay to bring it."

Gu Nuannuan glanced at her, and handed over the bag of apples. Lin Qiao took it over and said with embarrassment: "It's all my fault that I didn't tell you clearly. I thought you knew. Did you come here? Then your house leaves It’s not far from here, right? Otherwise, we’ll send things back to your house together. Such a big barrel of oil is too expensive. In fact, even if you bring things, you only need to bring this apple. I definitely can’t accept the oil. Or My parents will blame me when I go back."

"The distance is still quite far. It's heavy. I've already taken it out. How can there be any reason to send it back? If you don't want it, then I'll go back directly."

Gu Nuannuan saw Lin Qiao's embarrassing and entangled look, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift up quietly.She suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were wrong. How can everyone in this world be perfect?People who are not greedy at least show that the character tutor is still good.This is enough, maybe I can try to develop her as a real friend.In fact, I also lack friends, don't I?

"." Lin Qiao looked at her hesitantly, with a complicated expression, "Don't be like this, if you think it's important for me to carry things, can you be responsible for leading the way?"

"That's not the problem. I took out all my things, and it would be bad to bring them back. Let's go, is your home in Yingkou Village?" Gu Nuannuan urged Lin Qiao.

"But, but" Lin Qiao wanted to cry in a hurry, looked at the oil in Gu Nuannuan's hand with a bitter face, and regretted that she didn't say anything more about her self-righteousness yesterday, and today she accepted Gu Nuannuan's serious A gift, then when I look back at Nuan Nuan's invitation to me, didn't I have to return this kind of gift?How can one's own family afford to come and go like this?

It seems that the conditions in Gu Nuannuan's family are not as different as I imagined, otherwise her parents wouldn't be able to spend such a large amount of money as soon as they made a move. Alas, I am too stupid, I just watch her go back every week If you don't bring anything, you should think of it.

"Come on, can you catch up with Ying-God if you don't leave?" Gu Nuannuan urged.After listening to what my grandparents said yesterday, she was also very curious about the custom of making half-dan.In her previous life, no one had ever invited her mother and herself to do something, so even in her hometown, she was completely new to this custom.
