270 Full Moon Ceremony 3

The Zhang family's full moon banquet started at 11 o'clock at noon and lasted until the sun was about to set in the afternoon.

Many people didn't care whether the dishes on the table had been heated, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to pick up wine and find friends to share wine with them. I usually work on the ground every day, and the banquet is a good place where villagers always come to meet and chat. Everyone was drinking and chatting about homework, and the time passed so quickly.

There are four tables in the main room of the Zhang family and the right wing room. Except for the elders in the village, all the people present are the closest relatives and friends. Zhao Chuanguang and his natal family were given a lot of alcohol today.

In the front yard of the courtyard, the tables for women and children have become running seats. It's rare to see meat, and I can't fill my stomach all day. The children in the village come to watch the fun and don't leave. The adults pull the adults, and the children pull the children. It was like this until all the prepared dishes were emptied, the master in charge of the spoon lit the pot, and the women in the village took away the reluctant children before leaving the table.

After the banquet is over, the guests and relatives who have traveled far away are sent away. Seeing that Zhao Chuanguang and the others were about to go back, Zhou Jiao hurriedly dragged Lin Lishan and Zhang's mother to discuss.

In the main bedroom, Zhou Jiao looked at them eagerly.

Zhang's mother saw that Lin Lishan was similar to her daughter, and knew nothing about the world. Since you will be a relative in the future, you can't be sloppy in return. Something went wrong with the ceremony this time, maybe I have a knot in my heart.

"Big sister. I think you and the child's father will definitely give up favors with them in the future. Do you think this will work? They will accept the few cents in the red envelope, and return all the rest to them. This is also accepted. Others I will accept all the things and clothes of the children. If you feel sorry, you should prepare more generous gifts for the new year."

Lin Lishan nodded. She remembered that when she got married, all the gifts from those people were collected. According to her mind, it doesn't matter if all the red envelopes are collected.

Zhou Jiao was afraid of the trouble of pushing it back and forth, so she secretly stuffed it in the bamboo basket. If she didn't find it and lost it, it would be God's will. As if you have already received the gift.

In the small living room, Zhao Chuanguang pulled Zhang Guoqing and muttered in a low voice. His husband and wife planned to let Zhou Jiao and his wife take their children to the provincial capital and move back to their natal family. This time because other brothers came together, they didn't bring a lot of things and waited for the children to come to the door. Seeing Zhang Guoqing's refusal, he desperately laid down the bait.

Zhang Guoqing couldn't laugh or cry, let alone three rounds, Zhou Jiao would not stay at the other party's house for a few days even if it was delivered by plane.

"Godfather. Do you think this will work? Aren't we going back to Beijing at the end of the year? We will come to your place ahead of time. Forget it this time, since the child is too young, we don't have to worry about it. It's just a custom to move around. We don't take it seriously. You guys Are you still afraid that we won't go in the future? Do you think it's so easy to be my father-in-law?"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhao Chuanguang decided to forget it after thinking about it. Since their young husband and wife don't pay attention to these customs, Jiaojiao should not be hurt by the scene. He also disapproves of taking him out just after the full moon, and suddenly changing to an unfamiliar environment, who knows if the child is used to it. His son didn't move his nest, and he returned to his grandfather's house after a hundred days. As for the gift, tomorrow he will go to the provincial capital to give it to someone to bring it back to him.

"Then remember to find me when you go to the provincial capital tomorrow, and visit our old man and wife by the way. I promised them that you go to the provincial capital. This will be fine. If it doesn't work out, you have to tell them in person. Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Chuanguang looked at his watch and decided to leave. His brothers have to go back to report, and they can't afford to delay.

Before parting, Huang Huimin held on to Zhou Jiao, insisting that she agree to go back to her mother's house and move her home. Later, it was Zhang's mother who promised to let the children live there for a while when the children were older, and then reluctantly boarded the car.

After sending this group of people away, Zhang Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief. At present, only the mother-in-law and Cheng Lin's family members are the only ones in the family. After sending them off on the train tomorrow, the full moon wine, which has been worrying for a long time, finally came to an end. As for next year's first birthday, it will not be as lively as it wants to be.

None of Zhang Guoqing's cousins ​​came to the table, they were busy serving bowls and wine jars. This meeting had to be busy waiting for the women to clean the table, and they delivered it before everyone in the village had dinner.

At this time, when Zhang Guoqing saw them, he hurriedly dragged them into his kitchen and asked his mother to clean up some dishes, and they would fill their stomachs first. I have been busy so early in the morning, and my legs are running thin. Holding a banquet at home is lively, but what is left is a chicken feather. Without them today, Zhang Guoqing couldn't even imagine what would happen.

After cleaning up the mess and returning the borrowed tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks, the Zhang family was all in the main room, and no one wanted to move. Zhang Meili had expected this a long time ago, so she asked her man to take the children back first. The last time Zhang Guoqing got married, she was so busy that she lay on the kang and slept for a full day and night.

Zhang Meili pulled Zhang Guoqing to sit on the side, and said in a low voice: "No one from the old Zhou family came today. Even the head of the Zhou family asked his daughter-in-law to come here with a basket. Do you think it's strange?"

Zhang Guoqing really forgot the old Zhou family. He hasn't seen this family since his father-in-law's life was revealed. Plus there are a lot of things going on today. Did he really not notice who else wasn't here?

"If you didn't come, then you didn't come. I'll see what Jiaojiao says later. Sister, who else is not here? I think everyone has come except Dagu?"

"Everyone I don't know is here, who else hasn't come? My aunt washes three and asks someone to bring a gift, but there is no sign of this meeting, and I don't know if something happened? I think our father and the others are worried. Don't mention the aunt to them. It is estimated that our father and the others will go to the aunt's house in the next few days." Zhang Meili told him a few words worriedly.

Seeing that the whole family was there, Father Zhang winked at Mother Zhang. I saw Zhang's mother took out a handkerchief wrapped with money from her pocket and put it on the kang, and said to Zhang Guoqing who was whispering: "Xiao Wu, this is the favor in the village today. It's all for our safety. Not much, just a Meaning, you take it for the child."

Zhang Guoqing quickly waved his hand, "Mother, it's agreed. The favors in the village are all yours and father's, and they are yours to deal with. You can keep the money and pay back the favors later. Put it away quickly. Even if you give it to Jiaojiao, she won't ask for it." .”

Father Zhang knew that the child did not understand these rules, "This money must be collected for the child. It is not for you, but for Ping An. You collect it first. This money is different from the usual favors. Today's expenses are You paid for the pigs that were killed at home, and my father didn’t refuse to accept it. Would you still be polite to you for this little money? This is the rule. If you don’t believe me, ask your brother and sister-in-law if your brother-in-law took Xizi for a few full months With favor?"

Father Zhang deliberately said these words as if the whole family was present. To save the two daughters-in-law in the family from envying the old son with gifts all over the house. Although the old son confiscated the gift money today, he sent a lot of food and clothes.

He heard from his eldest daughter that the young couple's house was so full that it was difficult to even turn around. He knew it must be a lot. He had to make it clear that the family hadn't been separated yet, and his old son had already paid for the pigs the family killed. The old son paid for the banquet this time, so as to save the brothers and sisters from getting along badly in the future.

Zhang Guoqing saw that he had said so, and took the money that Zhang's mother handed him. When the two elder brothers offered to return him the pig money, Xiaoxiao refused.

Just kidding, apart from his hunting to supplement the family, this pig is the family's biggest income. Not to mention that he and Zhou Jiao hadn't even touched the hair of a pig, and they were all taken care of by the two sister-in-laws, so they took advantage of the opportunity without separating the families.

As for the food posted at home, he didn't open his mouth when he saw that his father hadn't mentioned it. He has the highest work points in the whole family, plus the fine grain brought by his mother-in-law, he knows it well.

The brothers will settle accounts. Don't think that the brotherhood is good and you can do things as you like. He really didn't do it by himself, the two sister-in-laws must be feeling uncomfortable, it didn't make sense that their son's full moon banquet was held so grandly, and their children would be inferior to Ping An. It's better to figure it out before breaking up. It's a bit of a disadvantage, his parents are good people.

Seeing that the matter of the old son was taken care of, Father Zhang asked his second son, "Second, how is your yard cleaning? Dad sees that you go to work every day and you can't do it yourself. You should arrange it early and ask someone to help. Find someone early. Otherwise, it will be too late to catch up with the move. You have to know it.”

"Father, Xiaowu and I have already prepared the window paper, outer door curtain, and firewood for the main house in the courtyard. The wing room will be tidied up when the weather is warmer next year. Now we just need to wait for the things in the house to move over and we can live."

Father Zhang nodded. He knows well that his son is reliable in doing things. After listening to the advice of the master bricklayer, his two sons started tidying up the three houses in the main courtyard. They have a small population, and the wing rooms can be reorganized next year. He planned to ask the patriarch for a good day to separate the family early. Seeing that Xiao Wu's life is getting better and better, it is easy to get jealous and have quarrels when they live together, so they should stay far away and go on blind dates.

Zhang Guoqiang had been busy all day today and was very tired, but he was very happy. There is no harm without comparison. He had given up hope for his Yue family before. He really didn't expect that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would be honest when they saw Xiao Wuyue's family today, and even said that they were ashamed of their son-in-law.

Whoops, it's really not easy for the sun to come out from the west. No matter how true or false what they say, that's enough. He doesn't ask for much, as long as he doesn't make trouble, he won't lose anything that should be filial.

At this moment, Zhang Guoqiang didn't know that his Yue's family had been eating public food from him, and he was afraid that he would dislike his wife and break the relationship. The old man Lin and his wife conspired with their son and daughter-in-law for a long time before they came to a conclusion. Seeing that his son-in-law is about to make a fortune, he is not afraid that no big girl will marry him. This son-in-law can only flatter and not offend. If the relationship is good, I am not afraid that he will not support the Yue family. Who would be as stupid as the old Zhou family? A good road was broken.

The old man Lin and his wife were even more frightened when they came here today. All the prominent people in the village came, and then look at the posture of Zhang Guoqing and Yue's family - the carriage ceremony, several bamboo baskets of eggs. He had never seen such a toss about a little baby's full moon wine. Not to mention those few who looked like officers' natal families.

This time the whole family will gather in the outer room, watching their wife and the others grin around the presents. He finally came to his senses, his family had raised so many money-losing goods, and finally came up with something useful. Thinking of the things his little girl secretly gave him, he couldn't help laughing.
