Chapter 878 Everyone Needs to Get Married
Yang Dongxu couldn't participate in the fishing because he had to hold the child. When the fish were divided, he went down to join in the fun. A big fish was taken out and divided into a pile, and then some small miscellaneous fish were added.
Basically, the weight of each pile was about the same, the difference was the weight of the big fish alone and the size of some miscellaneous fish. There were as many piles as there were households in the old house.
If there were not enough big fish, some larger miscellaneous fish were picked to replace them, and then a number was written in front of each pile for everyone to draw lots. Yang Dongxu did not participate in the drawing of lots, because his family had divided a big grass carp and a carp as soon as the fish were brought up, and two silver carps weighing about three catties were also divided.
Five or six crucian carps weighing half a catty were also divided, and other small miscellaneous fish were not taken. The money for releasing fish in the mansion this year was all paid by Yang Dongxu, and no one else paid a penny for the deepening and widening of the mansion.
Including the bamboo garden outside the mansion, it was bought by Yang Dongxu with real money, and the pond had been cleaned once before the fish were released. So it doesn't matter if Yang Dongxu doesn't share these fish with them.
So the fishermen took the initiative to pick two big fish and a few big crucian carps for Yang Dongxu's family, and the others didn't have any objections. Yang Dongxu didn't refuse and accepted them directly.
Then he kept passing out cigarettes in his hand. The only reason he came down was to pass out cigarettes and entertain people besides joining in the fun. After all, all the villagers came to your door, and it would be unreasonable if you didn't come out to entertain them.
"Fuck, this luck." After drawing lots, Daliang couldn't help but curse. He directly drew a pile with no big fish but only miscellaneous fish. Although the weight of the fish was about the same, everyone must want to share the pile with big fish.
"I have two silver carp here, pick one?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Forget it, big and small are the same. If you really want to eat a big one, I'll buy one on the street." Daliang waved his hand.
"The ones sold on the street are all fed with feed, and the meat is too soft and looks like paste. The fish raised at home are meaty and chewy." Xiaowu was smiling with a cigarette in his mouth. He was lucky and drew a lot of bighead carp weighing five kilograms.
"Then I will go back and kill a chicken later. It is considered to be a local meat with chewy meat, right? You should stay away from me now. I am very annoyed when I see you now." Daliang laughed and scolded.
In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no big fish. After all, the family does not need the money from selling this fish. The reason why I was depressed just now was that I had bad luck in drawing lots.
"You guys are busy first. While this fish is still alive, I will send it to Nanzhuang." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Nanzhuang is the nickname of my grandparents' home. In the countryside, this is how you say your grandparents' home. They rarely say their names. If the direction is over there, they say Nanzhuang, if it is north, they say Hou, and if it is east, they say Dongzhuang.
Of course, except for the grandparents' home, if you marry a girl from a nearby village, the name of the girl's village is also replaced by the direction. But Zhou Ya is not a girl from the nearby village, so Yang Dongxu said that Nanzhuang is his grandparents' home.
The carp is for his grandparents' home, and the big grass carp is for his grandparents' home. As for the two chains and the crucian carp, they are for his family to eat.
Grandparents and uncle's family also divided the fish just now. In the countryside, what is divided is not based on whether it is a family, but divided by household. Yang's family and uncle Shengli have separated from grandparents' family, so this is considered three households, and naturally there will be three points.
However, because there are only two people in grandparents, there is no lottery, but a big grass carp is directly given to finish the matter. Uncle Shengli drew lots and had good luck and got a big fish, so Yang Dongxu didn't need to divide the fish between the two families.
"Put it in the water tank in the yard first, and it won't die if you send it over in the afternoon. It's time for your grandparents to drink wine again in the morning." Yang's mother called her son for a lifetime.
"Okay." Yang Dongxu, who was about to string the gills of the fish for easy lifting, nodded.
In fact, it is not appropriate to visit relatives in the afternoon in the countryside, which means looking down on the other party. The most common phrase heard when visiting relatives in the afternoon is: "Why, your grandpa (uncle) is so poor that he can't even afford to feed you?"
However, Yang's mother's reminder at this time is obviously not to look down on her mother's family, but to be afraid that her mother's uncle will force her son to drink, and her son will have to hold his grandson in the evening.
Now Yang's father, who smokes, has been chased away by him and is not allowed to get close to his grandson. If Yang Dongxu drinks, how can he hold the child in the evening?
So it's just right to send him there in the afternoon after dinner. You can come back after a few words at the place without delaying your return to take care of the child!
"Are you going to cook for yourself today?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile while watching Grandpa Xuan cleaning crucian carp.
At first, it was said that Grandpa Xuan and his father-in-law lived alone, but later Cui's mother came from Yanjing to cook for them. Yang's mother had no time to cook during the busy farming season and the pig farm, so Cui's mother cooked more for everyone to eat together.
Over time, they had agreed to live alone, but in the end, they all ate together. However, the cooks were changed from Yang's mother alone to Cui's mother together.
In this way, the original intention of Old Man Xuan and his father-in-law to take care of their own small vegetable garden became to take care of the Yang family's vegetable garden, and then to plant greenery and bonsai in the yard of the old house.
From time to time, the two of them would play horses in the yard, or play chess, and a group of old men would watch and give various instructions, without any awareness of being a true gentleman who watches chess without saying anything. Occasionally, they would play cards together, and their lives were very comfortable.
Now that the Yang family has filled in the next generation, Old Man Xuan and his father-in-law have smiles on their faces every day, and they seem to have become several years younger all of a sudden.
"Would you be able to do it if I asked you to do it?" Old Man Xuan raised his eyes and glared at Yang Dongxu with displeasure.
Since his son was born, Old Man Xuan has become more and more displeased with the lazy Yang Dongxu. If he were not old and weak now, even if Yang Dongxu did not practice martial arts diligently, his fighting power would increase day by day due to physical reasons. He would not be Yang Dongxu's opponent and would definitely catch Yang Dongxu and beat him up.
The foundation that he spent so much effort to lay when he was a child is now almost ruined by Yang Dongxu.
"No, no, you are a professional." Yang Dongxu smiled and left immediately.
The old man is just an old child. People wearing diapers cannot afford to offend him, and old children naturally cannot afford to offend him, so it is better to avoid him.
But to be honest, he has been exercising more since he returned to the village. It is so tiring to take care of the baby every day. He also gets up in the morning to run, and fights with several children in the village who learn martial arts, and occasionally teaches them a few moves. He is very diligent.
"Just now, Mom asked how many tables should be set up for Chenchen's full moon wine?" Zhou Ya gently rocked her son sleeping in the cradle with maternal love in her eyes.
If it were an ordinary family, preparing for the full moon banquet a week in advance would be considered early, but Yang Dongxu needed to plan half a month in advance.
There was no way. There were too many guests. It wasn't even half a month yet, and there were already a constant stream of relatives and friends who had given birth in the hospital to visit. There must be a lot of people coming to the full moon banquet.
"Did mom say what to do?"
"She said that we could have a banquet for three consecutive days, and then invite the opera troupe and the acrobatic troupe to liven it up. There will definitely be a lot of people coming, so it's better to have a buffet directly, and since it's a buffet, it won't take much effort to invite everyone." Zhou Ya said.
It wasn't that Yang's mother wanted to show off by having a banquet for three consecutive days. Usually, the Yang family was very low-key. I haven't seen them being too extravagant in life, eating only donkey lips when eating donkey, eating only fish maw when eating fish, etc.
Although she doesn't waste money in her daily life, she is absolutely generous when it comes to spending money on her children. For example, the previous wedding, and for example, the full moon banquet for her grandson. In short, it's as lively as possible, and spending money is not a problem.
"Then let's set it up for three days to make it lively." Yang Dongxu said.
"Isn't this a bit..." Zhou Ya looked a little hesitant.
"It's okay. The wedding was so lively and there were so many big names. If our son's full moon wine is not so grand, people will feel strange."
"That's fine. By the way, the little grandfather is talking about Ran Feifei again." Although according to seniority, she should call Ran Feifei aunt, but Zhou Ya really can't say it, after all, she is older than Ran Feifei.
And when the two of them were together in Yanjing before, they were sisters. But Ran Feifei and the little grandfather's family didn't care about this, so they just called each other by their names in private.
"Well, why don't you let dad deliver the fish in the afternoon." Yang Dongxu's face was a little stiff.
At home, it really had nothing to do with him that his aunt didn't want to get married. He really had a few connections with people of the right age around him, and he couldn't force Ran Feifei to go if she didn't agree, right?
And Yang Jiayan opened a store in the United States, and he really didn't mean to let Ran Feifei go. The person in charge of the overseas branch had been selected before, but Ran Feifei insisted on going in person. What could he do?
So now he gets a headache when he mentions his grandpa, because it is impossible for the grandpa to come to him for other things, and it is 100% his daughter's marriage.
The rural atmosphere is still somewhat conservative now, so even if Ran Feifei is a big boss again and goes abroad to open a restaurant, she is a woman who is almost 30 and has not married yet, and there will definitely be people who will gossip about her.
And isn't Yang Dongxu a big boss? Isn't Zhou Ya a big boss? They are both married, why doesn't Ran Feifei get married? Things are back to him again. All kinds of headaches.
When Xiao Chenchen was born, Ran Feifei, as the aunt, must have come back once, but she left after two days and didn't give her grandma a chance to get angry.
This time, Ran Feifei will definitely come back for the child's full moon banquet, so the grandma is preparing to prepare a response plan in advance and wait for the aunt Ran Feifei to come back and surround her completely.
"Why don't you wait for Ran Feifei to come back this time and talk to her?" Zhou Ya looked at her depressed husband with some amusement.
No matter how big the business is, even if the investment is tens of billions, he has never been seen with such a bitter face.
"Don't do that, it will be my responsibility if this matter is involved. It's not that I don't want to help, but this is not my marriage. What can I do if my aunt doesn't want me to?" Yang Dongxu waved his hand quickly.
"Do you want to get married again?"
No!
Wife!
This logic is a bit wrong again!
