It's still early, and the old house is already full of people.
In a rare moment of generosity, Mrs. Zhang took out the candle and lit a lantern to illuminate the big guys working in the yard.
As soon as Qin Yao and his wife arrived and put down their things, they were arrested.
Sister-in-law Zhou and the others asked Qin Yao to go over with a kitchen knife to cut vegetables. Liu Ji was also taken away by Old Man Liu, who took out a gift book cut from red paper and asked him and Liu Fei to record the gifts.
Liu Ji is in charge of taking notes, and Liu Fei is in charge of collecting gifts. The two look at each other disgustingly, so they supervise each other.
Qin Yao looked at it and said: Absolutely!
"Let me cut the meat." Qin Yao picked up her kitchen knife, turned it around in her palm, pulled a piece of pork to the chopping board, raised the knife and chopped it with "clang"!
Qin Yao passed by with a vegetable basin and glanced at it like a dog pawing. It really embarrassed the village chief and the patriarch, and even praised him without conscience.
Seeing Qin Yao waving, she followed Jin Hua's cousin and ran out.
Then, the expressions of both of them changed.
The village chief and the clan chief were all sitting around the gift book table in front of Liu Ji, looking at him with wonder as he wrote down the gifts stroke by stroke, as if looking at a child who had just learned to write, with eyes full of kindness.
Sister-in-law Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice: "I want minced meat, and I'll make meatballs later."
The little girl chuckled, and when she heard cousin Jinhua calling her outside, she immediately rushed out.
A group of people came around to ask for all kinds of information from her. Qin Yao was afraid, so she quickly found an excuse and slipped out quickly.
It's hard not to lose yourself amidst all the praise.
“Cut into cubes or slices?” Qin Yao asked while cutting, working very neatly.
"I know, it's right at the door. Brother and the others are all here." Siniang turned around and responded obediently.
Everyone was happy and all agreed.
Liu Zhong turned his head and shouted towards the main room: "Second brother, come quickly!"
A knife was too slow, so I picked up a kitchen knife and waved it up and down with both hands. The entire vegetable preparation area was filled with the sound of chopping meat.
It's rare for everyone to have some fishy meat all year round, so having this pot of broth is enough.
Brother Mo and Sister-in-law Mo nodded and helped their mother into the hospital.
Qin Yao nodded and replied perfunctorily, "It's delicious."
Liu Ji came to his senses and first called the old woman his mother-in-law politely, and then said politely to the young couple:
“Brother and sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for a few years. How are you doing now? Are you all grown up now? You are just in time. The banquet is about to begin. Come in quickly.”
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the children outside the courtyard, his attitude was quite friendly.
Liu Ji also reached out to help him, and Mrs. Mo snorted coldly at him, "Liu Laosan, you have a new wife and have forgotten the old man. You are really prosperous now."
Fortunately, she is not the owner of the water mill for free, and most of the women in the village are willing to do her job.
Liu Ji's life is much easier, he just writes.
In two quarters of an hour, Qin Yao finished all the minced meat that others would have chopped for an hour or two, and the minced meat was very fine and smooth. It looked like good minced meat at first glance.
Moreover, her cousins are willing to take her to play new games, unlike Jinbao and Erlang, who have always disliked their little followers.
Siniang came here at some unknown time and has been eating and drinking with her cousin.
And because the sound was so dense, it made other people's teeth ache.
It's daybreak. Today is indeed a good day. The rare sun has risen.
Liu Ji wrote more and more, and finally spread out the extra red paper, lifted up the pen and showed off the pen, and wrote a big word "福".
Da Mao was in particularly good spirits today. He was awake after eating. Maybe he knew that everyone was here to see him. He looked around with his dark eyes, wondering if he could see anything. Jinhua is the happiest today. Grandma, uncle and aunt are here, as well as cousins, and they have brought countless food and drinks.
Qin Yao called a few free women and arranged for them to set up tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks. After doing this, while waiting for the dishes, she finally had time to meet today's little protagonist.
He suppressed shock and panic and looked at Zhang and Liu Zhong.
Just as Qin Yao was about to leave, a bullock cart unexpectedly stopped outside the gate. A lively old woman and a couple in their twenties got out of the cart and tentatively shouted to a group of children at the door: "Dalang? Erlang ?”
It's just that the smile was too forced, and the other person could see her embarrassment and surprise at a glance.
Zhang thought a visitor from afar was arriving, so she called Liu Zhong and hurriedly came out to greet him.
Mrs. He was in charge of the dishes, and Mrs. Qiu was taking care of her baby in the room to greet her parents. Qin Yao looked around and found out to her surprise that she, the half of the family, had to come to greet others and set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
The dishes were almost ready, and Mrs. He called everyone over to serve them.
There was not enough meat slices to feed so many people, so I made meatballs with minced meat and vegetables and stewed them into soup, one for each table.
Every time Liu Fei received a salute, he sang and shouted until almost noon, when all the people who were supposed to come arrived, so he could rest his voice.
Seeing Qin Yao come in to see the baby, she rushed over in surprise and asked Qin Yao to look at her pocket, "Mom! I'll give you some flaky candy."
The two of them also looked at him at the same time, with shock in their eyes: Who invited them here?
Zhang's reaction was quicker. His expression froze for a moment and then he smiled with surprise, "My dear relatives are here? Please come in quickly!"
The tea has been brewed, and the villagers have finished their work at home and gradually gathered around. Old people and children came one after another.
Qin Yao took a piece of fried crispy candy from her pocket. As soon as she put it in her mouth, before she could taste it, Siniang asked eagerly:
Qin Yao lowered her head and saw that her little pocket was stuffed with fried halva and peanuts. She had a pretty good record.
Sister-in-law Zhou and others gathered around and gave Qin Yao a thumbs up.
Liu Ji in the main room was guarding the etiquette book, but no one came at the moment. He was still idle, sitting there eating peanuts. When he saw the bustle at the kitchen door, he clicked his tongue twice and thought to himself: So this is also a conspicuous bag.
"Is it delicious? It's delicious. My cousin said this candy can only be sold in their town."
Qin Yao had no choice but to say: "Don't run too far, the banquet is about to begin!"
Qin Yao nodded, it seemed that the meatballs were still the main dish.
Liu Ji walked to the door with an inexplicable expression. When he saw the three people outside the door, his expression also changed.
Mr. Zhang and Liu Zhong had been greeting the guests all morning. Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Zhang asked the kitchen to start cooking and informed the guests to take their seats in preparation for the banquet.
Qin Yao's self-confidence was extremely high. She waved her kitchen knife and said, "Leave the chopping work to me. You are responsible for washing it. After washing, hand it to me and I will cut it!"
Qin Yao came to the bedside, teased Da Mao who didn't know how to react, and followed Qiu to get to know her natal family.
It is rare to see him look so serious and serious. From time to time, the village chief and clan chief will give him loving encouragement and praise him for his good handwriting.
“Da Lang Erlang, bring your younger brothers and sisters over and let them recognize their uncle and aunt.”
Dalang Erlang led the confused twins to Mrs. Mo, "Grandma, uncle, aunt."
Qin Yao, who was standing in the corridor, blinked and saw that it was Liu Ji's ex-wife Mo's mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law who came.
