Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 105
April 29 is Mr. Tong's birthday.After breakfast in the morning, the family went to Tong's old house.The rule here is that old people don't celebrate their birthday until they are sixty, and they only live their whole life.The only special thing is 66, which is a must.For these birthdays, the whole village will be invited to have a birthday banquet. The son is in charge of the birthday banquet, and the daughter is in charge of the clothes, shoes and socks of the elders.If the mother celebrates her birthday, she will also be given head jewelry.

Yesterday afternoon, Yunsong delivered more than 20 fish.Although he said he didn't care, he couldn't bear it in his heart. He played a few nets and picked out some big ones and sent them over.The old man is quite happy, Fang will stew something to eat every day, and let Xiaosi and Xiaowu bring it over, and watch the old man finish eating before leaving. The old man's cough has improved a lot in the past few days. The family sent a lot of fish, and it was even more beautiful.

Mrs. Liu made sarcastic remarks there: "Didn't the eldest brother say that he didn't care? Why did you send the fish again?"

"I'm just looking at our father's face. If tomorrow's banquet is too bad and embarrassing our father, do you think I'm looking at you? If it's for you two, I really don't care." Yun Song didn't mind either. Give her a nice word and choke it back.

When the family arrived at the old house, they saw that the courtyard was very lively. The three daughters of the Tong family had already returned, bringing their husband and children with them. There were more than ten people in the three families.Seeing Yun Song's family coming, Yun Fang greeted warmly: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are here, come on, come and sit in the room for a while. Yu Xian, Xiao Si Xiao Wu, come and play with aunt." When Yunlian went down, Yunhe didn't make a sound.

"Eldest sister, second sister." Yun Song didn't say much, just greeted her, and then entered the room.Sitting in the room were Mrs. Tong, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Tong Shiwang and Mrs. Tong Shiming, chatting there. "Father, mother, uncle, uncle mother, second uncle, second uncle mother." Yun Song and his wife hurried forward to salute, and the young ones behind also called a circle of grandparents.

Yun Song took out the birthday gift for the old man, two pieces of cloth, two boxes of snacks, and a jade cigarette holder. "Father, Mother Yuxian bought this cigarette holder for you. Your old one is old. Come on, Dad, I'll replace it with this one for you." Yun Song took the old man's cigarette pouch, twisted the original cigarette holder, and replaced it. got a new one. "Father, take a bag and try it hard?"

"Okay, good work." The old man was very happy. "How much does it cost? Your life is also tight this year. Don't buy these for me. Save them for the day."

"Grandpa, this is my father's filial piety to you, so you can use it well. If it is worn out, let my father replace it for you." Xiaosi ran to the old man and said with a smile.

"This one is enough for me, so I don't need to change it again. Come on, children, come to grandpa and let grandpa take a good look." Mr. Tong was very happy, and hurriedly asked the children to come to him. After the separation, this was the first time that the eldest family came to the old house.The old man looked at the children, they were getting stronger and stronger, and he liked them more and more.After seeing the gift from Yunsong, Mrs. Qin went out with a straight face without saying anything. "Don't worry about your grandma, she's going out to see if there's enough food."

The children couldn't stay in the house, so they all went to the yard.The children were all wearing new clothes, and they were neatly tidied up, which made people like it at first glance.The pots and stoves are still outside, no cook is invited, only a few helpers are there to clean up and eat.Several daughters-in-law of the Tong family were also busy there, and Zhang Shuzhen, with her big belly, was also busy there, which made people feel scared.Fang washed his hands, and then went to help.People in the village also came to help today, and Mrs. Fang would go to help other people's families if they had problems. What's more, it was the old man's birthday today, so she couldn't just watch there. "Fourth daughter-in-law, hurry up and rest over there, don't you look at how big your belly is, and you're still busy here. What if something goes wrong?" Fang stopped Shuzhen, not Let her work again. "Go and rest, I'll take care of my family for you, don't let them run around everywhere." Yuxian and the others would run around, it was just an excuse.

"Sister-in-law, take it easy, your body can't bear the strain." Shuzhen said worriedly.Among the sisters-in-law, Shuzhen and Fang's were the only ones who could be more tempered. After the separation, Shuzhen also went to Yunsong's house a few times, just as a hangout, doing needlework or something.

"Okay, I will pay attention." Fang promised.Fang's cooking is delicious and fast, so anyone in the village is willing to ask her for help with big or small matters.Seeing her go, the person who was on the stove will give up his place. "Sister-in-law, I'm still in poor health. I won't be cooking today. Let me help you. What do you want? I'll cut it out for you." Fang quickly waved her hand.

"That's fine too. Your knife skills are good, and your cuts look good." The man nodded in agreement. "Let's cut those pork livers first, thinly. I don't think there are too many ingredients today. Try to get twenty tables."

"Success, look at it." Fang picked up the kitchen knife and began to slice the pork liver. She sliced ​​it very thinly, so that a plate of pork liver didn't need much, and the people around praised it.

Yuxian sat on the stone in the southeast corner of the yard, looking at the people in the yard.The Yunbai brothers are setting the table.About a dozen tables can be placed in the yard, and the rest have to be placed in the house.People from the village came one after another, the women went to help on their own initiative, the men just sat there chatting, and the children ran everywhere.Dalang and the others sat beside Yuxian and didn't go anywhere.

"Junqi, don't run around everywhere, if you run around, I will spank your ass." Yuyan followed behind Junqi, shouting loudly.

Since moving, I haven't seen Yuyan again.Looking at her now, she is a bit dark, not as white as before.I heard that Yuyan has also gone to work in the fields this year, and she has to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and hunt pigweeds on weekdays. She is not as spoiled as before.That's right, Sanfang Junqi is too young to work, if she doesn't do it, the Zhou family will really be overwhelmed.Mrs. Zhou is very strict with her now, and she is not allowed to learn embroidery from Mrs. Qin.

Junqi ran and ran to Yuxian.Junqi hasn't seen Yuxian for a while, but he still knows her, "Sister Yuxian." Junqi, who has passed two birthdays, is already quite slippery.He has a thick head and a chubby face, but he is quite cute.

"Junqi, come, my sister will give you something delicious." Yuxian took out a candy from her purse and put it in Junqi's hand.

"Thank you, Sister Yuxian." The chubby little hand clenched the candy tightly.At this time, Yuyan also chased after her. When she saw Yuxian, she was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Sister Yuxian, you are here."

Yuxian was a little surprised, she thought that Yuyan couldn't raise her eyebrows when she saw her, but Yuyan had this expression, which made Yuxian not quite used to it, "Sister Yuyan, what's wrong with you? She became more polite. "

"I, I, I know I was wrong. I blame me for everything about my aunt, otherwise my aunt would not have lost her child," Yuyan said with a choked voice. "My mother has already taught me a lesson. I know it's too late to say anything now, but Yuxian, I really want to say, I'm sorry, I did something wrong."

"Sister Yuyan, I shouldn't talk to you. If it weren't for you, I would have a younger brother. In the past, you didn't bully me less. In this family, grandma spoils you, and third aunt spoils you too. I'm so used to being fearless. But have you ever thought about who will let you go out of this door, and you don't know how you will suffer at that time." Yuxian didn't want to talk to Yuyan at first, but seeing She looked like she couldn't turn around and leave.

"Let me go? Now in this family, how can anyone let me go? Grandma is very annoying every day and doesn't pay much attention to me. Junjie and the others are bullying me all day now, saying that they are the eldest son of the Tong family. You have to listen to them, and they say I’m a loser.” Yu Yan burst into tears as she spoke.

Yuxian handed over the handkerchief, "You don't need to talk to them, they are not your own brothers, they will separate sooner or later, and they will live their own lives, and they can't control you."

"Grandma won't allow the family to be separated, and now the family is making noise every day, flying around all day long." Yuyan wiped her tears and returned the handkerchief to Yuxian. "No one played with me when I went out. I talked to you for a while today, and I feel better. Yuxian, do you think uncle can forgive me?"

"Sister Yuyan, I can't say that. After all, my mother lost a child, and I lost a younger brother. What do you think if it were you? It doesn't matter if my mother didn't forgive you. The key is that you know that you did." What, what kind of consequences will there be, and you must never do wrong things again in the future." Yuxian hated her quite a bit at first, but seeing her now, besides hatred, there is also some inexplicable feeling in her heart, Yuxian Yan just let Qin and Zhou get spoiled.

It's almost noon, and people are almost here.Mr. Tong came out of the house, put on the new clothes made by his daughter, and sat down at the table to the north.A person who helped Zhang Luo shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the children and grandchildren celebrate their birthdays."

Yun Bai, Yun Feng, and Yun Hua knelt down first, and kowtowed to the old man, "I wish my father a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." After speaking, they kowtowed three times.Although Yun Song is still called Daddy, he is a nephew after all, so he cannot be with them.

Next came the three sisters Liu, Zhou, Zhang, and Yun Lian, who also said blessings and kowtowed.

Then came the husbands of the three of Yunlian, and then Yunsong and his wife, and finally all the grandchildren, grandchildren and grandchildren knelt down in a large group, and said in their mouths: "I wish grandpa (grandfather) good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan." They also kowtowed three heads.

The old man was very happy, "Well, well, get up, get up, get up."

The person next to him shouted again, "The birthday greetings are over, let's start the banquet." At this time, the helpers began to serve food on the table. Twelve tables were placed in the yard, and the rest were placed in the house.There were eighteen tables in total, and the guests were all seated. As soon as the dishes were served, they began to use their chopsticks to eat.

Today's banquet dishes are okay, much worse than Yun Hua's marriage.There were several side dishes and meat fried on the table. The chicken was also in pieces. There was no whole chicken, no elbow, and only one fish, which was quite big.The guests chatted while eating.
