Chapter 109: Guests and Hosts Have Fun
Bai Ziqian has always recognized that Shuiqing’s dishes are delicious.
But the food is not necessarily good, because there are not many varieties, and the food is always the same.
After staying at Sun Jinhua’s house for two days, he returned to their house and deeply realized the huge difference in food. He stopped complaining.
Now facing a table full of hot dishes, cold dishes and stews, he looked up blankly and asked aggrievedly: "Auntie, has the food become like this during my absence?"
Wow, it turns out that it’s not that Aunt Shuiqing only knows how to cook those few dishes, but she didn’t cook them for him!
Li Huyu slapped his son on the back and said cheerfully: "What are you thinking! Who eats like this every meal? This is obviously to entertain us."
Dahe looked at the dishes on the table in front of him without moving, and said to Bai Ziqian: "If you were here and the food was like this, then don’t leave, okay?"
The other children nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Bai Manshan laughed.
There were too many delicious foods, so his son didn't want to leave. The children didn't want his son to leave for the delicious foods either.
"Except for rabbits, which cannot be guaranteed to be eaten every day, old hens and pork are still OK, provided that your Uncle Bai's family is here!" Shuiqing said with a smile.
The five little ones immediately cheered and shouted that the three of them should stay.
The atmosphere was unusually warm.
Bai Manshan and Li Huyu were infected by the warm atmosphere and wanted to stay and live a slow rural life, but they had their own considerations, so they had to say: "We are afraid we can't stay for two days.
However, if your family agrees, Qian'er can stay for a while."
Bai Ziqian looked at Shuiqing eagerly.
Shuiqing waved her hand generously: "Stay as long as you want!"
Glancing at the lonely Ling Ran on the side, she added: "Let me be frank. We don't keep idle people here. We all have to work and eat by our own ability!"
Even if the Bull Demon King came, he had to plow two acres of land before leaving.
Hearing the last sentence, the loneliness on Ling Ran's face dissipated a little.
Bai Ziqian raised his hand to guarantee: "No problem!"
"Let's eat!" Shuiqing announced.
The round table was big enough to accommodate everyone, so there was no separate table. Four adults sat at the main seat, and the children sat in order of age.
Shuiqing didn't dare to make the rabbit with ginger and double peppers too spicy, so he put in green peppers, which looked good and were not spicy.
Bai Manshan and Li Huyu, who couldn't eat spicy food, also got used to it.
When Bai Manshan picked up a chopstick of sour and spicy potato shreds and fed it into his mouth, it took him a while to realize that this was the potato that Qian'er had been talking about!
He quickly swallowed the potato in his mouth and asked several questions in a row: "Do you still have this potato?
What's the yield per mu?
Have you planted it?
Is it easy to plant?"
Li Huyu knew that her husband's business mind was starting to work again, so she pulled his sleeve to remind him: "We are eating, how can they eat if you ask them like this?"
Bai Manshan looked embarrassed.
Fan Jin didn't care, put down his chopsticks, and replied one by one: "There are some in the vegetable garden, only two or three wing plots are planted, and it's easy to plant them;
I don't know the specific yield per mu, but it should be much higher than corn."
Hearing that it was higher than corn, much higher, Bai Manshan was even more satisfied.
When the sausage and potato stewed rice was served, Bai Manshan, who tasted it, wanted to go to the vegetable garden right now!
But it was getting dark and it was too dark to see anything, so he gave up.
The guests and hosts had a great meal.
After dinner, Shuiqing began to make beds for the three people.
It must be said that the house was built more and bigger, which was very convenient when guests came.
The west wing was empty, and Bai Manshan and Li Huyu directly lived in one of them. Originally, Bai Ziqian could live in the other one, but Fan Hu was a little scared today because it was the first day he slept alone, and he shouted that he wanted someone to sleep with him.
So, the glorious task of sleeping with him fell on Bai Ziqian.
Accommodation was allocated. Shuiqing's family moved and held a banquet today, and everyone was exhausted all day. Bai Ziqian and the other two had to travel a long distance by carriage.
Thinking that there were still many things waiting for tomorrow, a group of people washed up and went to bed early.
The room was clean and spacious, the new bed was firm and large, the quilt was warm and fluffy, and the sheets and quilt covers were delicate and soft. It was already cold in the winter month, but everyone who had eaten and drunk enough felt full of warmth at this moment.
·
The old house of the Fan family was just like the New Year today.
"Grandma is still capable!" Fan Dazhu ate the fat meat and cabbage stewed with cabbage left over from lunch, and did not forget to hold Grandma.
The look on Fan's mother's face was very proud.
She shared her experience and said, "Your uncle is also confused. It's such a big deal to move into a new house, but he didn't let you nephews go to the wedding banquet!
I, as a mother, won't go either. I wonder how he can hold his head up in front of the villagers."
"Those old people must have laughed at my uncle's family. I guess my uncle is still regretting it now." Fan Erzhu thought so too.
His grandma and his relatives didn't go. What's the use of building a good house?
"The most important thing is that you thought of asking him to send the wedding banquet dishes over. Not only do we not have to go, but we can all eat them!
My uncle sent four big bowls. I'm afraid there's not enough for the family. I guess my aunt's face is not good to look at." Fan Dazhu picked up the last piece of fat meat in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, while laughing vaguely.
The other people watched the big piece of fat meat disappear with envy, and their hearts ached.
Fan Zhaodi, who didn't get anything, drank the black noodle soup in the bowl silently, without envy at all.
Auntie won't be angry about this little food.
Eldest sister can give her six buns, all of which are meaty, and auntie didn't show any distressed look, so how could she care about the four bowls of dishes sent by uncle.
I'm afraid that auntie's current food is no longer what grandma and parents can imagine...
Fan Qian smoked a dry pipe and said, "Didn't they say that the second brother's family has no money? I went to the village to inquire today, and they have received all the wages!
Not a penny less."
Sun Jinhua was eating black flour buns with cabbage soup. After hearing this, she said indifferently, "Maybe it was borrowed from somewhere? If it was borrowed at interest, they will suffer!"
Hearing that it might be borrowed at interest, Fan Qian felt strangely balanced.
People who lend money at interest are not good people. They are all ruthless characters who don't blink their eyes. Once you get involved, you will lose half your life if you want to get rid of them.
"I saw a carriage heading towards the second uncle's house this afternoon." Fan Sanzhu, who was also shoveling the soup in the bowl, suddenly said.
The others suddenly raised their eyes to look at him and asked in unison:
"What kind of carriage?"
"How many are there?"
"How is the driver dressed?"
Fan Sanzhu was suddenly stared at and swallowed nervously. He recalled: "It's just a carriage. The carriage is made of oil paper cloth. There is nothing on it. Anyway, it can't be compared with the person who came last time;
The driver is a middle-aged man, and his clothes are not very good. He should be Heizi's father, because Heizi is sitting next to the carriage. I heard Heizi calling him dad."
