Chapter 88: Wedding Banquet (addied update for Qinghaofang Wan)

The next day, everyone got up early, and Momei and the mother-in-law were already familiar with making balls.

"Let's see the officials and let everyone open their eyes and see my ability!" Seeing this, Xue rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture of doing a big job. "Don't miss it when you pass by."

"Good sister, don't always make me happy." The girl hugged her stomach and burst into tears with laughter.

"Oh, sister, why did you cry? Isn't it greedy?" Xue saw that she was puzzled and said with a shy face. The sister blushed, "My sister talked about it, and she was obviously..." Suddenly, she woke up and saw that Xue was teasing her, so she stared at Xue, "Xue saw that my sister was the worst!"

"You two, just play. You'll get out of business for a while."

"I know!"

"No!"

The two said in unison.

Xuejian then put the faded hen into a pot of boiling water, take it out and put it in another pot, add green onion, ginger, salt and fennel, cinnamon, cloves and other whole meat ingredients (these ingredients are wrapped in a small bag by bag of fine cloth), boil it in a brine pot, and take another empty pot. There was no cypress wood, so I had to find some jujube wood, put a wire rattle on it, put the finished chicken on the rattle, cover the pot tightly, and make it on the fire to make the bottom of the pot red and hot, ignite the jujube wood, and smoke the chicken golden yellow.

This year's earthquake made people panic. Such a happy event makes people feel happy. Relatives far away also brought congratulatory gifts in advance, and the villages in the village were even more happy, as if they were their own lively.

"His uncle, are we late?" Usually, the mother has less contact with her neighbors. This time, she not only came by herself, but also brought a few distant relatives of her mother's family, which added a lot of color to the uncle's family. After putting out the food in her hand, Momei introduced loudly at the sign of her mother, "Uncle, our balls are called Sixi balls, and this chicken is called Bazhen chicken!" I wish my brother and sister-in-law a beautiful and pearl wall!" The meatballs and chicken were on the table, and the bright name of Jiqing's dish made the uncle's family laugh out of sight. Who doesn't want to have auspicious celebration?

"Well, look at this little mouth. It's so sweet. I really like people." There were immediately interesting people around to praise it.

At this time, it was nearly noon, and the newcomer had been picked up, and the wedding banquet began immediately. Seeing Zhou Bo, an obviously extraordinary city man, the uncle was a little at a loss and was busy inviting him to the throne. Zhou Bo also grinned at the corners of his lips and arched his hand and said, "It is also a blessing for us to be able to get such a happy event. Only I wish the newcomer Qin Seheming, Yuanfu Fulu, Siluo Chunqiu, flowers and full moon, and Ti Ronghua, happiness!" And casually asked Duofu to send He Yi. Xue saw that she tilted her head. Fortunately, it was not bright silver. She breathed a sigh of relief, not those flashy things that were not suitable for life.

In Duofu's hand was a fine flower cotton cloth and a green coarse cotton cloth, while the fifth uncle took down six jars of yellow wine from the carriage one after another. This gift is not expensive and economical and practical. It brightens the eyes of the villagers around them. The men all think that the wine tube is enough to drink for half a month, while the women stare at the cloth. Usually, they have to calculate by pulling a piece of cloth on the set. These cloths are enough for the old He family to wear new clothes for the New Year. The relatives of the widow's second aunt's family are really good at picking gifts. At first glance, these things are not worth anything, but it's a big gift. It's really bright!

The mother's face was a little pale and embarrassed. Thinking about it, it turned out that when the two of them learned to make meatballs from Xuejian yesterday, Duofu and others drove out in a carriage, presumably they had bought these things in the nearest town. The eldest uncle had a light on her face and complained to Duofu in surprise: "Look at you, you are too polite."

"It's true, but after all, it's their intention, so let the sister-in-law pick it up quickly and let the child go to the table for dinner." The mother-born child smiled and looked cheerful, which was more pleasing than usual.

In this way, under the envious eyes of the villagers, they were polite to each other and sat down. Duofu and Uncle Wang didn't dare to sit with the master. They rubbed aside, sat over and said, "Let's just sit here."

Although there are not many balls, each table can be divided into one, and there is only one chicken, so it can only go to the main position. The birth of a child is even busier than his feet, more beautiful than his cousin.

Although the yellow and fragrant chicken is not blessed by everyone, it looks like a big ball with pure meat stuffing. The villagers are undoubtedly admired by this big money, "Do you dare to compare with the wedding banquet of the son of Donggezhuang Zhuangtou?"

"No, there are not many restaurants in the city with such a big meatballs, right?"

When you eat it in your mouth, it is fragrant but not greasy, fat and thin, and melts in the mouth, which makes people call it more delicious. Unfortunately, there is only one table, but it's just a matter of one person and one chopsticks. No one asked how to do this thing. This is to eat the mat and do it in your own home. That's going to be scolded by the old man!

"In a blink of an eye, Momei is also a handsome big girl." It is rare for the daughter to come out to walk around with her relatives. Today, she was in a good mood. Before she came out, she carefully dressed up her sister with Xuejian. A semi-new sunflower yellow and green jacket was not very gorgeous but slightly playful, which made the aunts in the village praise her several times. No, I saw it a few years ago, my hair was yellow and thin, and I only hid behind her mother and refused to come out again.

Xue saw that she helped clean up the kitchen with the birth mother. There was a wedding event in the village, and there was no need for women to take care of the spoon. The mother of the child did not like to make use of such a lively occasion before. She was afraid of adding obstacles to others. Yesterday, she chatted with Xuejian for a while and thought about it in the middle of the night that she realized that she was not shorter than others, so this time she was more generous. Fang brought his daughter to help formally. According to her previous temper, that is, she came to send gifts, and she will never stay any more.

The two sisters-in-she rarely saw her happy, and naturally they were also happy, so they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was not to mention lively.

"Mom, Xue and I are going to help my second sister choose dishes." Momei blinked her big eyes and pulled Xue to see it, so that everyone would not always talk to her.

After they went out, the person standing next to the mother gave birth and asked her, "The mother, the little lady you took care of is really handsome. She is not so beautiful in all four miles and eight townships. She looks no older than the younger sister. Have you promised her?" So a few more ears came over, and the gossip souls of the three aunts and six grandmothers were all the same.

Look at the little lady's dress and style, she is not from the countryside, so her children actually have no hope, but it's always okay to inquire, right?

The mother gave birth to Xuejian, who was choosing vegetables with Mei outside the house, smiled and said with a little lustful and meaningfully, "Don't talk nonsense. That's the young lady of the Zhou family in Pingshan Village."

"Zhou's family in Pingshan Village?" What spreads the fastest in four miles and eight townships? It's not flu or bird flu, but rumors!

From the previous generation of the Zhou family, they walked out of Pingshan Village, out of peace, out of Qingzhou Prefecture, and this generation quickly became rich in a mythical way, and led the whole village to avoid the earthquake and become rich together. No one really believes that there is no protection of the mountain god!

"The talkative handsome brother sitting outside is the Zhou family, big, young, master?" The threshold of the girl's mother's heart on the ground is too high, which is higher than that of the county magistrate. Looking at it like this, it will be less attractive, tut, tut, tut.

There is also the suspicious one who looks carefully at the shadow of Xuejian. The light snow two nights ago just made the temperature lower. These two days were sunny. Under the sun, the shadow was the same as normal people and did not have a tail or anything. After looking around like this, I was relieved. When the mother gave birth, she was not happy and said directly, "Mother Matsuko, what are you doing? The snow saw that the girl has been with me and my sister for the past two nights. Is it possible that we are the same..." After all, she didn't say it.

The mother who gave birth to a child has been a woman like a tablet in Dongsheng Village over the years. At this time, her face sank, which made people panic for no reason. The pine mother just saw more shallow things and was not bad-hearted. At this time, she was also full of Hao Ran and said embarrassedly. There was nothing to do. The eldest aunt and second aunt stared at her. On the happy days, she was embarrassed to make her shameless.

After a meal, everyone was full of wine and satisfaction. Zhou Bo and his party also left from the father-born uncle's house, simply packed up the salute, and then went on the road again. Originally, the mother who gave birth wanted to keep them for a few more days and wanted to ask about the birth of the child, but there was no suitable and reasonable excuse, so she had to let them go reluctantly.

Looking at the faraway carriage, the daughter sighed in her heart that she was not blessed or had nothing to do with the legendary Zhou family.

Xuejian was not used to sleeping with strangers at night, so he didn't have a good rest for two days. Now he got into his own carriage. Naturally, he lay on Zhou Bo's lap without saying a word and fell asleep. Zhou Bo gently stroked Xue with his hand to see the tender face and smiled bitterly. Who is the master?
