Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Outside the gate of Xu's house, a string of firecrackers was picked up with a long wooden pole.

Several teenage boys in the village waited anxiously with matches in their hands, and lit firecrackers when the sledges that greeted their relatives came back.

Before 10:30, there was a commotion in the distance, and a child rushed over and shouted.

"I'm back, I'm back, the bride is here."

The boys who were waiting to set off firecrackers at the door cheered up immediately, and stretched their heads to look west.

Sure enough, I saw the horse sledge coming from not far away. On the first sledge sat a person in a red padded jacket. No need to guess, it must be the bride.

"Quick, get ready, let me tell you something, and you all light firecrackers."

Someone greeted, and the other waited with a match in his hand.

When the sledge came to the front of Xu's house, and before the newcomer's feet landed, crackling firecrackers sounded from here.

Xu Shide supported his daughter-in-law Wu Qiuyan and got off the sledge. Amidst the flying firecracker debris and the pungent smell of gunpowder, a new couple entered the gate of Xu's house.

Zhou Guilan stepped forward and took the cornucopia from her daughter-in-law.

Here, Wu Qiuyan picked up the red flower from the pot, pinned it in her mother-in-law's hair, and called out affectionately, "Mom."

Zhou Guilan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she repeatedly agreed, "Hey, hey."

While agreeing, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to his new wife.

The wedding ceremony of this year is very simple. The couple enters the house to have a blessing, and at eleven o'clock, they come out of the house to the courtyard.

Zhao Dahai was the officiant, and after speaking a few words, the young couple saluted and thanked the guests, the officiant and the matchmaker, and then saluted to thank their parents for their kindness.

If it had been put aside a few years ago, it should have bowed to the portrait of the leader, but now this item can only be omitted.

The warm and simple wedding ceremony ended quickly, and the bride was sent back to the east room to rest, and then the banquet began.

Nowadays, the life of each family is not rich, so the whole family does not come to eat at the wedding banquet.

Most of them are the head of the family who comes to have a wedding wine with the ceremony, plus a group of helpers.

There are a total of one hundred families in the big house, and some who have a bad relationship with the Xu family didn't come.

So with relatives, friends and natal guests, a total of fourteen tables were set up.

There were six tables on the Xu family's side, and eight tables on the two neighbors' side.

Pork bracken, braised venison, braised bear's paw, Sixi meatballs, sauerkraut white meat blood sausage, soft fried meat section, fried meat with fungus and carrots, shredded cabbage, mung bean sprouts and shredded carrots.

There is also a pot of rhubarb rice next to each table, and the hot aroma is tangy.

There are eight dishes in total, seven of which have meat, and only one cold dish.

At this table, who can't say a word hard enough after seeing it?

As far as the moment is concerned, there is really no one who can produce these dishes.

When the dishes went up, everyone was amazed and couldn't help boasting that it had to be the old Xu's family.

Look at people's life these days, take a look around the whole village, who can compare with it?

The dishes are served and the wine is full, so what's the point? Just eat it.

It is rare to see oil and water on weekdays. This is all meat and vegetables, why don't you open your belly to eat?

So one by one, they shook off their cheeks and started to build.

The natal family of the Wu family who sent off their relatives were all arranged on the kang in the east room, exactly two tables.

For the two tables of the natal guests, the food and drink are more abundant. In addition to the eight dishes outside, there are candied sweet potatoes and a platter of sauced meat.

The Xu family arranged for Xu Shiyan's two uncles and Zhao Dahai to accompany the guests, which gave the Wu family enough face.

With such a high standard of hospitality, it is too late for the Wu family to bow their heads to eat and drink. Who would care to find fault? Naturally, the host and guest enjoy themselves and the atmosphere is harmonious.

After the banquet, the newlyweds wanted to toast, but the young people in the village made trouble and insisted on letting Xu Shide drink.

He yelled and got Xu Shide drunk, so he couldn't climb the kang at night.

The Xu family had been prepared for a long time, Xu Shixiang, Zhou Wanxing, Zhou Wancheng and other young people all came to help hold the wine.

In the end, these few were all drunk with a lot of wine, and they found a place to rest red-faced and dizzy.

Of course, those who poured alcohol were not much better. They drank all over and over again, and some of them even slipped under the table.

Before 12:30, the people who saw off relatives from the Wu family had enough food and drink, got up and left.

The Xu family found a few young men, drove the horses and sledges, and sent them back.

As for the other guests, they had almost eaten, so they took their leave one after another and left.

When the guests were gone, the helping daughters-in-law hurriedly cleaned up the dishes.

Today's people's stomachs are empty, let alone eight dishes, and there will be nothing left with eight more dishes.

Almost every table was clean, and even the vegetable soup on the plate was eaten with rice, and there was nothing left.

Now, you can save worry when washing the dishes, just put it in the pot and scald it with hot water, rub some baking soda at most, then rinse it with clean water, and it will be clean.

All kinds of utensils such as bowls and plates are borrowed from each family. After washing, they are classified according to the marks, and they are compared according to the list, and they have to be sent back to others.

Of course, there is no one who borrows household items for a wedding and sends them back empty-handed. They have to pack some melon seeds and candies.

For the helpers, Zhou Guilan also wrapped some melon seeds candies, or leftovers, as a token of gratitude.

By the time everything was done and the guests were gone, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, every family was busy, and the relatives in Daying and Songjianghe didn't stay behind. After the banquet, they chatted for a while, and then they all said their goodbyes and left.

The Xu family has been busy all day, and at this time they can finally sit down and rest for a while.

"Finally calmed down for a while, I was so busy this day that my feet hit the back of my head, and my whole body hurts."

Zhou Guilan was dizzy from the busy day, and finally sat down to rest, feeling as if her whole body was about to fall apart.

"Otherwise people say that marrying a daughter-in-law is not true at all, it's really tiring.

Fortunately, four of the five sons in our family have married daughters-in-law. The fifth is not in a hurry. It will take two years, so we can take it easy. "

Xu Chenghou was so busy that he had the time to sit down and smoke a pipe.

"Okay, let's all go back to the house and rest for a while. Dinner is simple, isn't there some leftovers? Just heat it up and eat it."

Zhou Guilan saw that the sons and daughters-in-law also all looked tired, and simply waved their hands, telling them to go back to rest.

"Mom, then I'll go back first. I won't come over to eat if I have nothing to do at night. Yingzi and I can just eat at home."

Xu Shiyan was thinking about his daughter-in-law, so how could he be in the mood to delay here? Tell your parents and leave.

"Third brother, wait a minute, I'll bring you some food back home, and in the evening, the two of you can just heat it up at home and eat it yourself."

As soon as Zhou Guilan heard that her son was leaving, she hurriedly put on her shoes and went to the ground again, and packed a pot of vegetables for Xu Shiyan.

"Yingzi didn't come to eat today, so bring her some delicious food back."

According to the rules in the country, it is not good for pregnant women to attend other people's weddings, as it is easy to get red.

Although I always yelled about breaking the four olds before, some old rules still have to be followed.

After all, there are a lot of people and things on the day of the wedding. If you don't pay attention to bumping into something, it's too dangerous.

The five chapters are updated today, and there will be no special circumstances in the future, and they will be updated in the morning.
