Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 76 Full Moon Wine

After harvesting the cotton, the cold dew has passed, and the weather is getting colder, so you have to put on a thin cotton jacket when you go out in the morning.

Looking at the withered scene in the flower garden, Du Xiaoyu thought that he should plant some chrysanthemums, plum blossoms and other hardy ones, so that the flowers would always be there all year round, and he was in a good mood.

Thinking of it, she did it, she carried the basket on her back, greeted the little wolf, and went to the mountains.

The little wolf has grown very tall now, and I don’t know if it’s because of the meat to eat. When standing up, it can reach her shoulders, and its size is also extremely large. It has a mouth with white and sharp teeth. I have to say, It's still quite powerful, but it's annoying to howl, sometimes in the middle of the night, for which it is inevitable to be scolded.

It just wags its tail and looks at you innocently.

After all, this little guy still can't tell the difference between troubles and real crises.

At the moment, the mountain is also in the same depression, but there are some fruits, such as oranges. Du Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised when he saw it at first, but when he picked it up and tasted it, his whole face turned into a bitter melon.It seems that "oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges". This orange is sour and astringent, and it tastes terrible. No wonder no one picks it.

She wiped her mouth and continued to open the road. Near the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain, she found a few wild chrysanthemums of different colors, so she dug up the roots and picked some herbs by the way.

When I went back, I only heard the laughter in the yard. When I looked around, it turned out that Mrs. Wu had returned with her son and daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Wu!" She ran over happily.

"Look at this muddy one." Aunt Wu touched her head and smiled, "Xiaoyu, come and see my grandson." She teased the baby in the wife's arms, "This is your aunt Xiaoyu! "

Du Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when she heard the words, and pouted, "Why am I becoming an aunt?" She is only eight years old, so she is just a generation older!

The others burst into laughter, "If you don't want to be an aunt, do you want to be an aunt? You have to wait until you get married."

It was only then that Du Xiaoyu realized how stupid she was. She was of the same generation as that daughter-in-law, so she blushed and touched the baby's skin with her fingers, and changed the subject, "So tender, so beautiful, big sister, she looks just like you!"

Aunt Wu's daughter-in-law is called Lin Meizhen, she is very pretty, with big eyes, small mouth, and a sweet smile. This is the first time Du Xiaoyu saw her, thinking it's no wonder Aunt Wu likes her so much, looking at her It hurts.

"Yeah, fortunately, it's like his mother, if she wants to have my son's big nose, she will suffer," Aunt Wu pointed to herself, "Look at me, it's not because of this, oh, fortunately, this handsome boy .” She nuzzled the grandson, not to mention how happy she was.

Everyone laughed again, Zhao said at this time, "I'm coming back to set up the Moon Bar, but I need to invite a lot of people. I'll help you tomorrow."

"I don't need to ask for it." Aunt Wu smiled, "It will take more than [-] tables. I don't think there will be room in my yard, so I have to bring some to your house."

"Go ahead, I'll ask his father to clean up." Mrs. Zhao patted Lin Meizhen on the shoulder, "Go back to your house and talk about it. It's cold in the yard. Don't freeze the child. Be careful after you just finished confinement." .”

A few people went to Aunt Wu's side to discuss.

It is still a heavy task to prepare more than [-] tables of dishes, so Du Xian and his wife ran in and out these days, and the Pang family naturally helped. Then, occasionally ran to Aunt Wu's side to tease Xia Tuwang.

Tuwang is the nickname of the little grandson. They all like to choose some rough ones, which are easy to feed.

Mrs. Zhao came back from Aunt Wu's side that day, and went into the back room with Du Xian, "Every family has borrowed the tables and stools, and this cook is really good, not like some bad guys who just want to be cheap."

"Yeah, the stir-fried dishes are quite delicious, and I've caught up with my wife." Du Xian squeezed her shoulders with a smile, "Are you tired these days? Tomorrow, wait for their family to celebrate the full moon, so you can take a good rest." .”

Mrs. Zhao pointed to the second drawer under the cabinet, "Bring that little silver bracelet here, and I'll see if it's all right."

"How can it be bad." Du Xian said, "I've been picking for a long time, and this is the most beautiful pair. You don't like it when you see it. Why are you afraid that it won't be good?"

Mrs. Zhao just laughed, "That little baby is so cute, I'm afraid that Little Silver Bracelet can't be called him! She smiles all day long and doesn't make any noise at all. Sister Wu is really lucky. That daughter-in-law is a pain in the ass." Turning around and leaning against Du Xian's arms, she sighed, "When Huang Hua gives birth to such a beautiful girl for me, that would be great!" She paused, "Sister Wu said, there are a few good ones coming tomorrow, my child They are all promising, let me pay attention."

Everything has been going smoothly recently, and she is in a happy mood, which is naturally rare and gentle.

Du Xian felt soft in his arms, and hugged him with both hands, "Then you have a good look at it tomorrow, Huang Hua has suffered a lot, so I have to pick a good one."

"What do you need to say?" Zhao said angrily, "I love her the most." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "How hard it was to follow us in the first few years, and Wen Yuan was ignorant at that time. You have to do the work in the field, she cooks and takes care of the children at a young age..."

"It's all in the past." Du Xian didn't want to ruin the rare good atmosphere, "Anyway, you have fulfilled her wish, learning embroidery from Mrs. Wan, next time she wants Xiaoyu to study again, you also agree Well, save her from being sad. Huang Hua used to envy Wen Yuan so much, she was eager to watch him go to private school every day, but we didn't have any spare money back then."

"What kind of books does the girl want to study? The two girls in our family are really different from those of other families." Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "If she wants to buy nice clothes, fragrance powder and so on, I'd be happy, but I like these! Forget it, she's going to get married in the past two years, and I don't want to make her unhappy about Xiaoyu anymore, but I guess Xiaoyu won't, otherwise, if this ghost really likes to study, it will give you a headache It's so quiet there."

Du Xian laughed loudly after hearing this, "That's right, only the silly girl Huang Hua is wishful thinking."

On the second day, people came to congratulate her one after another. Aunt Wu had a wide range of friends. Most people in the village knew her. Of course, those who had deep friendships were better. In addition, people from her natal family, people from Lu Po's family, There are also relatives and friends of the shopkeeper's son and daughter-in-law, which can indeed fill a yard.

That little Tuwang had been visited several times, even though he was usually calm and calm, he was finally frightened and cried.

Du Xiaoyu came to join in the fun after finishing what he had to do, and saw that the front and back yards had already set up a table. Although the dishes were not as luxurious as those of those restaurants, they were also delicious in color, aroma, meat and fish.It can be seen that the cook hired this time is not bad, Aunt Wu is really generous, she has attended wedding banquets before, she can be a bit stingy, she can make people have diarrhea with stale dishes, just to save a little money, In fact, he picked sesame seeds and lost watermelon, and was ridiculed several times behind his back.

After studying the food, she went to the door to see Mrs. Wu's relatives and friends, and saw that Mrs. Zhao was also there to help with the reception.

There are several members of a family, couples, or a single person representing the whole family. Aunt Wu introduced some to Mrs. Zhao. Du Xiaoyu found a problem after standing for a long time. It was a family with an unmarried son, and her mother, Mrs. Zhao, was very attentive. Some of the sons came with her, so she looked very carefully.

She realized a little bit, it seems that their family still wants to take this opportunity to find a lover for Du Huanghua!

"Mom, little fish."

Du Wenyuan ran out at some point, startled her, and said in a daze, "Second brother, why are you back?"

"Anyway, I'll be off tomorrow. I'll take leave of absence from my master and come back early." As Du Wenyuan spoke, he cupped his hands and congratulated Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu laughed straight, "Okay, I should have asked for leave and came back. I haven't seen you handsome boy for a long time!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was going to greet other guests again, Du Xiaoyu poked him on the arm, "How do you know that it's a full moon today? Dad told you when he went back to the county to buy a silver bracelet?"

"I met Brother Lu on the road a few days ago, and he told me about it."

It turned out to be like this, Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are greedy and want to eat this wedding banquet, right?"

Mrs. Zhao glanced sideways, "It's the same as you," then looked at Du Wenyuan, "It's fine to come back, I see it's going to be cold again these days, I wanted your father to send some thick robes over."

"It's made of cotton grown by ourselves, so it's warm!" Du Xiaoyu interjected, "The quilt is also newly popped."

Du Wenyuan smiled, "It seems that the cotton harvest is good."

Several people were talking, when Cui Shi came over, she had a normal relationship with Aunt Wu's family, saw Du Wenyuan was there, looked up and down and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Wen Yuan of your family has become more and more handsome, it can be seen that the Wan family is also a hospitable person." of."

Mrs. Zhao was a little displeased when she heard this, and said, "It's time to go to the table, Xiaoyu, take your Aunt Cui to the east table."

Cui's complexion was not very good-looking, she tried time and again to bring the two families closer, but this Zhao family was always salty, except for necessary contacts, he never wanted to invite him when he was free, no matter how good his temper was, I can't bear it, now I really think I have climbed up to Wanjia?It's just living under the fence, whether Du Wenyuan can be admitted to Juren is still unknown!
What kind of airs are you putting on!But she still suppressed her unhappiness, turned her head and said with a smile, "Sister, don't you want to buy a few acres of land?" She pretended to mention it casually, "What do you think of the Liu family? It's right next to your newly bought field, if you like it If so, let me make a suggestion, invite Mrs. Zhang to come over tomorrow, she has the final say on the affairs of the house, and the sons of their family are all earning money outside, and the field is actually deserted."

Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed when she heard the words. She had already set her sights on the Liu family's fields, and her tone immediately warmed up, "It turns out that Sister Cui is acquainted with them, so that would be great."

"Then it's settled, you all come over tomorrow, and Wen Yuan is also here. Yesterday, Lianhua's father caught a lot of fish, and they are raising them in pots. I don't know when they will finish eating." Pushing Du Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, didn't you want to take me to dinner, where is it?"

Du Xiaoyu frowned and walked forward. She also knew that Mrs. Zhao had some money in her hand, and buying the land was inevitable, but she always felt unhappy about being in debt to Mrs. Cui.
