On the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the seventh day of May in the Gregorian calendar, it is a day for Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian to hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends in order to celebrate the re-issuance of the certificate.

Early in the morning, Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian got up, Qu Weiyang went to the river and walked around the forest, and the Qu family's kitchen was full of ingredients.

Half a bucket of small miscellaneous fish, four big fish more than a foot long, the fish is still very fresh when it comes out of the water, the tail of the fish is flicking, and it is fluttering.

In addition, there is a rabbit and two pheasants, the rabbit is extraordinarily fat, it looks like six or seven pounds heavy, the pheasant is not small, and the feathers on the tail are very long, very good-looking.

Qiao Lian didn't expect Qu Weiyang to catch pheasants and hares, and now there are two more dishes.

After thinking about it, I decided to stew a vermicelli with chicken, leave the rabbit and leave it on the table, and add a fried thorn sprout.

Eight dishes are already very good noodles, and any more is too eye-catching.

After breakfast, Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian began to work, first boiling water to remove pheasant feathers, cleaning them up and directly chopping them into the pot and stewing.

On the other side, all kinds of ingredients should be cut, and all the ingredients should be pickled. Even Jiakang Jiayuan and the two were not idle, sitting on the wooden pier to help squeeze the small trash fish.

When I was busy working, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and it turned out that Zhang Wenguang's brothers were driving the car, pulling their daughter-in-law and children, as well as two kang tables and dishes and other things.

"Second sister, are all the dishes ready? I brought you a piece of meat, and yesterday someone killed a pig in the township, and the big guy gave some of it, so I brought a piece to you. ”

Qiao Juan was afraid that Qiao Lian would have nothing to hold a banquet, so she deliberately brought over a piece of meat.

Qiao Lian leaned out from the kitchen, "Eldest sister, there is enough food at home, Wei Yang has made a lot of game, and the dishes for noon have been prepared."

Viyan, quick, help my brother-in-law move the table or something. Qiaolian saw that there were a lot of things loaded in the car, and hurriedly called Qu Weiyang to go over and take a hand.

Qu Weiyang hurriedly went out and helped unload everything and move it into the house, while Qiaojuan and Wenxing's daughter-in-law entered the door and washed their hands to help Qiaolian work.

"Our mother and they estimated that it would be a little late, and yesterday my eldest brother came to discuss with me, saying that he would come together by car.

Our carriage is not big, and we have to load a lot of things, where is there any place? ”

"Besides, I guess our sister-in-law and their lazy people definitely don't want to come too early, and they can't help work if they come early?

When they come and don't work, they just sit there and wait to eat, and I really can't get used to them. When it comes to her mother's three sisters-in-law, Qiaojuan is also full of complaints.

"This is just to look at our mother, otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to take care of them.

By the way, you can tidy up your house later, and collect all the valuable and useful things.

Our sister-in-law's children are not very clean, go to my place, and take away whatever you see good, you have to be careful. Qiao Juan didn't forget to remind Qiao Lian.

"What? The eldest brother's children still have this problem? Qiao Lian frowned slightly when she heard this, it's not okay if her hands and feet are not clean.

How old are the children in the eldest brother's family? If you are so young and take other people's things, what can you do when you are big? "Our eldest brother and sister-in-law don't care?"

"Our eldest brother is busy, he leads the work in the field, if he doesn't go out, the second brother and the third brother will be lazy at home.

Sister-in-law, you still don't know? She's just a person with unclean hands and feet, and you still expect her to take care of the children?

We didn't go out before, we raised silkworms to earn some money to buy something, didn't we let her take it secretly? Qiaojuan snorted, quite dissatisfied with the Wang family.

was reminded by her sister, and Qiaolian also remembered it, but not what? In the past, the Wang family loved to do such things.

Of course, she is only at home, and she does not dare to take other people's homes when she goes outside. "This matter, if you find an opportunity in the future, you really have to tell our eldest brother.

The child is still young and can manage it back, but he must take care of it, otherwise he will be blind. Qiao Lian has a good impression of her eldest brother Chen Minsheng, and she can't help but feel anxious for her brother.

The three of them all worked well, and there weren't many people eating today, so after a busy day, all the ingredients were taken care of.

So stew chicken in the east pot and pork ribs in the west pot. Wait for these two dishes to be ready, and then put aside the east pot to stew toads and fish, and the west pot fryer to wrap meat, spiny sprouts, and small miscellaneous fish.

In the end, everyone arrived, and then fried the green onion and fried the pork, and the eight dishes were all alive.

Qiaolian's arrangement is clear, Qiaojuan is a good worker, this little thing naturally can't be difficult for them, so everyone who should be put in the pot is put in the pot.

was busy, I heard a voice talking outside, and I saw that it was the Zhao family, and several other neighbors came.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you let the children come? Just shout together, how lively is it? Qiao Lian saw that only two members of the Zhao family were coming, and felt strange, so she asked.

"It's too noisy for them to come, and it's too annoying when all the dogs are disgusted.

Originally, I thought of asking your eldest brother to come over, but I was afraid that you would have no one to help, so I came. ”

At this time, most of the people are very simple, and when other people's families invite guests, they are the head of the family, and they rarely bring children.

Like Zhao's sister-in-law, she has a good relationship with Qiaolian, so she came together, and the other families are all men who only come to the family.

When the guests came, Qu Weiyang naturally wanted to come forward to entertain them, and it happened that the Zhang Wenguang brothers were familiar with these people, so they introduced each other, and the men sat in the courtyard, talking and chatting.

In the past, this yard was lived by an old couple, and they couldn't clean it up, and it was in tatters.

Now that it has been cleaned up inside and out, everything is neatly restored, and at first glance, it looks like a life, and the big guy also thinks a little more highly of Qu Weiyang.

As he was talking, Secretary Han and two comrades from civil affairs also came.

The neighbors nearby were a little stunned, and they looked at Qu Weiyang, not understanding how Qu Weiyang could have such a big face, and he could invite the township secretary and civil affairs assistant and others.

The main reason is that Qu Weiyang is not wearing a military uniform today, but wearing the same set of clothes that he went to take pictures, and when Zhang Wenguang introduced it just now, he didn't mention that Qu Weiyang was the battalion commander, so no one knew about it.

When Secretary Han chatted with Qu Weiyang, these people finally understood, it turned out that they were not ordinary big-headed soldiers, they were officers and battalion commanders, and they immediately respected Qu Weiyang.

However, Qu Weiyang's attitude was still the same as before, quite kind and gentle, "I invited the big guy here today, mainly because I want to ask the big guy to help take care of the family."

I can't come back once a year, and I can't take care of it at home, so I have to ask my neighbors to help me if there is a big or small matter at home. ”

"Don't worry about this little song, we will take care of it.

You are a soldier, fighting outside to protect your family and defend the country, Qiaolian and the child are military dependents, which is the responsibility of our township.

The township must ensure the livelihood of military dependents, and no matter what difficulties there are, the township will come forward to help solve them. ”

Secretary Han patted his chest and reassured, and the other neighbors also nodded. "Yes, you can rest assured, no one dares to bully younger siblings and children."
