Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 45

After receiving the marriage certificate, the next thing is to set up a banquet.Originally, according to the custom, the man wanted to come over to ask for an appointment, but now Xiao Su is single and no one tells him what to do, so the good woman will not go to trouble. A little bit of courtesy is not good for Xiaoxiu.So I went to invite someone to calculate a good date, and set a date for the wine on March 26.

Before the banquet, the good woman helped Xiao Su pay homage to the ancestors at home.According to the custom, it is necessary to count up to three generations, so Xiao Su obediently placed six bowls and six pairs of chopsticks.On the table are a bowl of fried tofu, a bowl of cabbage, a bowl of vegetarian chicken, a fried fish, and a bowl of braised pork.The Eight Immortals table was set up with three benches, and Xiao Su opened the door to welcome the ancestors: "Ancestors, come to my house for dinner, and invite the ancestors to have a wedding wine today."

The old ancestors entered the door, and Xiao Su poured wine into the bowls in order. While pouring the wine, she muttered according to what a good woman taught: "Old ancestors, Xiao Su invites you to drink today. Xiao Su married a wife, we The Su family has also added a new member, and there will be another addition in a little while, I hope the ancestors will bless us and keep our family safe." Originally, Xiaoxiu also wanted to come to kowtow, but Hao Po and Xiao Su refused her kowtow, I'm afraid that something will be wrong if I'm not careful.So Xiaosu kowtowed to her: "Ancestor, I will kowtow to you on behalf of Xiaoxiu. She is twin now. After she gives birth, let her kowtow to the ancestor. I also ask the ancestors to bless and bless you." She can deliver this baby safely." Xiaoxiu also stood beside Xiaosu, clasping her hands together slightly.

When the joss sticks were half burned, Xiao Su went to find a broken pot, put ingots, money beams, and silver ingots made of tin pots, and cremated it: "Old ancestor, Xiao Su burns some money and you use it. You can play leaf cards with small banknotes, and buy some houses with big banknotes. I will ask you to burn more after Qingming.” So one by one, the benches were moved out, which was regarded as a gift to the ancestors. up.

Xiaoxiu stood aside and watched Xiaosu do the complete set, and couldn't help asking in private: "Xiaosu, do you think the ancestors can feel it?" Xiaosu looked up at the sky: "Since the good woman told us to do it , let’s do it, old man An’an has a good heart.” Xiaoxiu snickered, and after listening to Xiaosu’s words, she knew that he didn’t believe it either.After inviting the ancestors, the next thing is to prepare for the day of the banquet.Chef Fu Haopo plans to invite Uncle Liu from the west end of the village. Uncle Liu cooks good dishes well, and everyone likes to invite him to take the spoon for any weddings and funerals nearby.

Once the chef is set, the menu is about to be set.It's just that Xiaoxiu is a little bit difficult at this time.If you have to buy all the dishes you use, your budget will be huge.Moreover, there are obviously so many dishes in my space, and I feel uncomfortable that I have to pay for them instead of using them.So Xiaoxiu discussed with Xiaosu: "Xiaosu, you see there are so many dishes in our space, this time I will order these dishes for the wine, don't buy them again."

Xiao Su also agreed: "It's no problem to use those dishes, but some dishes are not in season. If you take out all the dishes, if people ask you where you bought them, don't you have to be embarrassed?" Xiaoxiu blinked her eyes. , After thinking for a while, I came up with an idea, let's start growing greenhouse vegetables.So he told Xiao Su all his thoughts.As soon as Xiao Su heard that she was full of energy, she excitedly wanted to try it right away.

In the end, she was stopped by Xiaoxiu: "Don't worry, we will bring out more off-season dishes this time. If anyone asks, you can tell that your comrades planted them, and you have to learn from them in the future." So that we can put some novelties here in the future.” Xiao Su is right after thinking about it, now that everyone is busy with wine, and no matter how busy they are with growing vegetables in the greenhouse, it will be too busy. .Deliberately wait for everything to be busy, and then come again!

The schedule is a bit tight, but fortunately the two families have no relatives anymore, even if they hold wine, it is just to invite neighbors and people from Xiaosu's unit to have a meal.The good woman and Xiao Su made an estimate, and there are about [-] or [-] tables.At night, the young couple slept on the bed, carefully thinking about what guests they wanted to invite.Xiao Su got a piece of paper and wrote down the names one by one. Looking left and right, she always felt that there was one person missing.

"Xiaoxiu, listen to me reading you, and see who is missing." So Xiaosu read one by one, and Xiaoxiu memorized them one by one. The name was at the end, Xiaoxiu thought about it and asked a question "Xiao Su, master, have you written it? If it weren't for the master, your ears might not be healed by now." As soon as Xiao Xiu said it, Xiao Su remembered it. It turned out that he had forgotten this great benefactor. up.

"No wonder I always feel that there is one person missing! I will invite them tomorrow." Xiao Su wrote down the name of the old master, packed up and prepared to turn off the lights and go to sleep.As a result, Xiaoxiu didn't feel sleepy after sleeping too much during the day, and she also felt hungry.So he pushed Xiao Su: "Su, are you hungry?" Xiao Su just wanted to sleep now, and was so busy with weddings these days: "I'm not hungry. Go to sleep!" While talking, he helped Xiao Xiu fell asleep.Xiaoxiu was so angry that she wanted to bite him.

Xiao Su fell asleep, turned around abruptly after a while, half propped up and asked, "Xiaoxiu, are you hungry?" Xiaoxiu felt that she was extremely wronged, tears came down patter.Seeing Xiaoxiu's appearance, Xiaosu felt that the sky was falling, and carefully held Xiaoxiu in her arms: "Xiu, are you hungry? If you want to eat something, I'll get it for you. The cupboard There is still some sesame paste in it, and there seems to be some chicken cakes in it, may I get it for you?"

Xiaoxiu shed two tears, and felt that she was making a big fuss, so she wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "I don't want to eat sesame paste, and I don't want to eat chicken cakes either. I want to eat some fried rice." Xiao Su listened I just laughed when I saw it, and shed tears for a bowl of fried rice?But this cannot be said in front of Xiaoxiu, so Xiaosu quickly put on her clothes and got up. "Sleep well, I'll help you cook rice." After helping Xiaoxiu tuck the quilt, Xiaosu went to the kitchen.

Xiaoxiu watched Xiaosu go to fry the rice, and she was tossing and turning on the bed alone, feeling uneasy.I always felt that I was too hungry, so I turned on the light and put on my clothes.Carefully groping into the kitchen, I saw that Xiao Su was already sitting behind the stove, lighting a fire.So he stepped forward: "I'll light the fire, you go to fry the rice. I'm too hungry." After hearing this, Xiao Su gave way. .

Heat up the pot, put some lard on it, and when the oil has melted, put a large bowl of rice left over from the night, stir-fry slowly, until the rice grains are softened, and then beat in the eggs.Finally, put some salt and sprinkle a little chives.It doesn't take much time for a bowl of fragrant fried rice to be ready.Before Xiao Su handed the bowl to Xiao Xiu, Xiao Xiu came up to take the bowl by herself and just stood by the stove and started eating.Xiao Su looked at it and shook her head: "Eat slowly, I'll cook more if it's not enough." Xiao Xiu nodded.

While the pot was still hot, Xiaosu asked Xiaoxiu to ask for a tomato, and was going to cook some more soup, otherwise it would be dry to eat only the fried rice.In the end, Xiaoxiu ate up the whole bowl of oil fried rice, and also drank a small bowl of tomato soup.After eating, the stomach is round.When I was full, I was embarrassed to tell Xiao Su: "I eat well." I don't know if it's because the good woman often makes dried spinach wontons for Xiao Xiu, or because Xiao Xiu is born with a good physique. There has been no big reaction.It was Xiaoxiu who kept shouting that she was hungry.No matter how much she eats for dinner, Xiaoxiu will still have another meal at eight or nine o'clock.

Seeing that she had eaten so much, Xiao Su thought that if she went to bed right away, she might not digest well.So she helped Xiaoxiu up: "I want to eat gherkins, how many shall we go in and pick?" Xiaoxiu knew what Xiaosu meant, so she nodded and entered the space. The space was warmer than outside, so Xiaosu took off He put his coat on the ground and asked Xiaoxiu to sit for a while: "I'll come when I go to pick it, you sit down." Xiaoxiu nodded.

Watching Xiao Su go to the field to pick cucumbers, Xiao Xiu thinks that such a man is good, Xiao Su has a cold face and a warm heart, he will only do things when he has things to do and will not flirt with you.The more Xiaoxiu watched, the more satisfied she became.As soon as Xiaosu came back, she saw Xiaoxiu smiling at herself, and subconsciously touched her face: "Is there something on my face? You are so funny." Xiaoxiu shook her head, reached out and took it from Xiaosu's hand. A cucumber to chew on.Tender and delicious.

Xiao Su also took a cucumber and gnawed on it. There is no chemical fertilizer in this space, so it is not a problem to eat it without washing it.Xiaoxiu leaned on Xiaosu's shoulder: "Xiaosu, next time, let's bring Xiaohe in too." Xiaosu thought for a while: "It's better not to, Xiaohe should stay outside to watch the house, if you I like it, let me ask my comrades in arms to help me get some dogs back?" Xiaoxiu was delighted when she heard that.

"I want three dogs, so I will work in two shifts. I will be transferred in for a rest during the day and night, just like a worker working in two shifts." Xiaoxiu always feels that this space is too lifeless. The lake, but there is no sound of animals, not even birds. Sometimes a person squatting here feels quiet and panic. "I also want little rabbits, little sparrows, little..."

Xiao Su feels that she is a bit big headed, Xiao Xiu has changed a lot since she became pregnant, and she also needs to adapt...

Seeing that Xiaoxiu reported the names of the dishes, it was wrong to report the names of the animals so hard. Xiao Su felt that she had to satisfy her wish no matter what. Isn’t it just a few animals? If you can’t catch a hundred, you have to catch enough 99 Only……

So Xiaoxiu's space became lively, and Xiaosu took a short errand while shopping for the wedding banquet, looking around for animal sellers.But after walking around for a long time, I didn't see anything good, except for a little hedgehog, but it was better to have one than nothing, so Xiao Su bought it back and asked Xiao Xiu to throw it into the space.By the way, I also threw in the chickens, ducks, and geese I bought.These will all be called...

When Xiao Su went shopping, he also invited the master chef, and passed a post to Da Hong: "Master, Xiaoxiu and I will hold wine on March 24, and I invite you to come and have two glasses of water and wine that day." The master listened Naturally he was happy: "You are so polite, and you still miss the old man." Xiao Su made an appointment with the master, and asked someone to pick him up that day. Although the road is not very far, the master is still so old .It is safer to find someone to pick you up.

The good woman asked Xiao Su to buy a lot of red paper at the market, and then she would sit in the sun and cut paper every day.Xiaoxiu thought it was amazing, took a piece of red paper, folded it back and forth a few times, and then cut it with scissors, and a happy character could be produced, as well as a lot of window grilles.So Xiaoxiu just followed the good woman. The good woman cut a piece and Xiaoxiu took one, guessing what kind of pattern the good woman cut this time.

"Good girl, your hands are really skillful." Xiaoxiu felt that these things were really amazing.The ladies who came to help all laughed.Aunt Liu also took a look at it: "Xiaoxiu, your good mother-in-law's hands have always been so clever. A few years ago, whoever held a wedding did not ask your good mother-in-law to ask for a few paper-cuts. It is these few years. Your eyes are not very good, so I didn't ask for it." The people next to him also echoed.

"That's right, when my kid got married, he also asked my aunt to help cut the flowers."

"That's right, I heard that my aunt was famous for her skillful hands when she was a girl..."

However, everyone's jokes gradually turned to Xiaoxiu: "Xiu, how is Xiaosu? You'll be married tomorrow, and then your mother-in-law will be alone..."

Xiaoxiu doesn't blush like others: "Mother, Xiaosu is a nice person. Married or not, look at our two families, how much trouble can be spent in just a few steps. Then I will still be there every day." I'm staying at home, and no one will drive me away! Good woman, you say yes..." Xiaoxiu smiled very sweetly at her good woman.The good woman is naturally happy, whatever Xiaoxiu says is good.Just as we were talking, Xiao Su came back, and the helping ladies joked: "Look, now we're talking about Xiao Su, and Xiao Su is here, just without saying a word!"

Xiao Su was embarrassed by their laughter, so she carried her things into the kitchen.The kitchen at home is small, so if you want to set the table, you have to set it up on a wild stove outside.Xiao Su and the chef have already set it up. It is just behind the kitchen at home. There is a large space behind and it is close to the river, so it will be convenient for cleaning.And the space in front of the Er's House is reserved for tables.At that time, there will be a table for ten people, and you will eat when you are full.After eating, change to another wave.

When going to bed at night, Xiao Su was driven back to sleep by the good woman: "Go to sleep in your room, and today you will sleep with those young people. Xiao Xiu will also be accompanied tonight." There is no way the custom here, the day before the wedding The bed is always pressed at night, for good luck.So Xiao Su had no choice but to go back in despair.

Neither Xiaosu nor Xiaoxiu slept well that night.The person who was used to sleeping next to him disappeared, and it didn't feel right to turn around!
