Chapter 421: Generous Gifts
Although Qiaolian did not have the opportunity to steal seeds at the beginning of spring, the cooperatives served the crops carefully, perhaps because of the good luck of the year, and the seed degradation was not so serious.
This year, the crops of the Daying Township Cooperative are still growing very well, and it is another bumper harvest.
The entire village participated in the autumn harvest, and it took about a month to harvest and thresh all the crops in the field.
The grain was all taken back, and the big guys were relieved, just waiting to pay the public grain and purchase quota, and the township could divide the grain.
October 9th, the 16th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, is the day when Chen Wanfu and Lin Hong got married.
This day was chosen by Lin Hong herself, and it was this time she was waiting for.
As soon as the autumn harvest ended, the big guys were a little relieved and idle, just in time to attend the wedding.
It is said that most people like to do happy events in the new year.
Isn't there an old saying, the poor are rich for the New Year, and it's better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year? The Chinese New Year is imported by Tianding, which is a great joy.
But Wanfu and Lin Hong couldn't get married at that time, one was that Wanfu was in the fan mill, and he was busy a few years ago, so he didn't have time to get married at that time.
The other one, if it waits until then, all the food and money distributed by the society will be in the hands of the Wang family.
Lin Hong shouted that she would break up when she entered the door, what would she divide at that time? Therefore, Lin Hong and Wanfu set a date early and notified relatives and friends in advance.
When the eldest grandson got married, the old lady naturally wanted to go back, so three days in advance, the old lady went back to Chen's house and watched the banquet where Wang and Chen Minsheng were preparing for the wedding.
At the beginning of spring, the old lady advocated that Chen Minsheng catch two pigs and come back to raise them, and by this time it was not too small, just to kill one for Wanfu to hold a banquet for the wedding.
This season is a little embarrassing, the eggplant beans are out of season, the sauerkraut has not been pickled, and the vegetables that can be cooked are cabbage, radish and potatoes.
Fortunately, there is pork, which is good, and the other dishes are casually matched, so that you can serve the guests.
As soon as Qu Weiyang heard that Wanfu was going to hold a banquet with his relatives, he made a special trip to the mountains and beat two roe deer and a deer. In addition, fish came out of the river.
This is naturally for the sake of the old lady's face, and of course, it is also for the sake of Lin Hong, a girl, who is smart and thoughtful, and wants to support the two children with a long face.
Qiao Lian has nothing to say about Qu Weiyang's approach, her own man is not doing it for her? This is to give her a long face in front of her mother's family.
"You, you're not too tired and panicked, you finally went out and came home, and you didn't rest, so you went into the woods.
Gotta send it over there quickly, no matter what the other side does, this is our part of our heart.
You just tell Wanfu that this is our courtesy. Qiao Lian refused to suffer a loss, and said this deliberately.
Qu Weiyang smiled when he heard it, "Yo, then this gift is not thin, hahaha."
Okay, we are elders, Wanfu is not bad this child, not to mention Lin Hong.
We don't rush at the children for the sake of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we must help the field. I'm leaving, I'll be back later. ”
Qu Weiyang said, then flicked his whip and drove the mule cart away.
There will be a happy event tomorrow, and the Chen family is naturally very lively with people coming and going.
Qu Weiyang drove to the door of Chen's house, and just as Fenghua in the courtyard saw it, he hurriedly ran back.
"Grandma, eldest cousin, it's the second aunt who is here, and it seems that there are still things in the car, go and take a look."
Since the old lady returned to Chen's house, she lived in the backyard Wanfu's house, Fenghua knew that the second aunt must have come to her grandmother, so she hurriedly went to the backyard to find the old lady.
When the old lady heard this, she knew that her uncle had come to give something again, and she was naturally very grateful.
This morning, Zhang Wenguang sent a basket of eggs and salted duck eggs, and now the second aunt came to send things again, in her life, the most right thing is to raise three daughters.
On the contrary, look at these three sons, they are really fed for nothing.
The second and third sides all sent letters early, and the result? The reply said that he was busy and didn't have time to ask for leave.
One person brought back five yuan, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift to Wanfu.
Is there a lack of money at home? is obviously a lack of people, his eldest nephew gets married, and when he is an uncle, he doesn't come back to help, and he is almost angry with the old lady.
The old lady was angry, and when she heard that her uncle was coming, she seemed to have brought something, and she immediately became happy.
"Wanfu, go and see, your second brother-in-law must have something important to do at this time, hurry up."
Wanfu also knew the severity, so when he heard this, he immediately ran out and came to the front yard to take a look, and was startled.
"Second brother-in-law, who are you?"
Good fellow, the second brother-in-law came in a carriage with two roe deer and a deer on it, and there was a big wooden bucket with fine-scaled fish in it.
"Aren't you getting married tomorrow? Your second aunt's three children are too busy to help, so I won't come over to help today.
These are the ones I sent to you when I went into the forest, and I will keep them for tomorrow's banquet to add dishes to entertain the guests.
What's that, your second aunt said, these things are used as congratulatory gifts, and we won't give money. Qu Weiyang said with a smile.
When Wanfu heard this, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Second aunt, you and your second aunt take care of me so much and help me, but let me say what?
God, this gift is too generous, I can't afford it for any amount of money.
Second brother-in-law, thank you, no, just saying thank you is too light, second brother-in-law, no matter what happens at home in the future, as long as you speak, I will never shirk. ”
Wanfu's child is still good, although he was a little skinny when he was a child, he didn't grow crooked, and he was better than Chen Minsheng's brothers when they were young.
Qu Weiyang smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted Wanfu's shoulder, "Okay, just have your words."
Come on, don't say anything else, hurry up and carry these to the backyard, I'll help you clean up the skin and keep it for tomorrow's banquet. ”
Qu Weiyang's temper has been much better than before in recent years, and he also takes more care of his younger generations.
Seeing Wanfu working hard in the past few years, Qu Weiyang was also happy for the old lady, so he was willing to help Wanfu.
If this is changed to Wanlu, Qu Weiyang may not care.
"Hey, okay." Wanfu hurriedly agreed, and then with Qu Weiyang's help, he carried the deer.
Qu Weiyang carried the two roe deer on his shoulders, and the remaining wooden barrels were carried by two young men who helped him, and they were sent all the way to the backyard.
Wanfu's house is behind the old house of the Chen family, the two houses are not far away, and there is no separate door, so if you want to enter and exit the backyard, you need to go to the front.
The door is so lively, can Chen Minsheng and Wang in the house not hear or see? When Chen Minsheng saw this, he immediately walked to the backyard.
"No, what were you doing? The second brother-in-law is really, those things should be sent to our front yard, why should they be sent directly to the backyard?
There are so many good things, all of them are saved for tomorrow's banquet for outsiders to eat, it's a pity, right? ”
Wang's mistake of picking and searching was done again, looking at the backs of Qu Weiyang and others, he couldn't help but muttered a few sentences.
"Shut up for me, why are you still messing around with such an old person?
Second brother-in-law, who is that for? Isn't it for our family's good looks? If you can speak, you can speak, and if you can't speak, just be dumb. ”
