Chapter 63: Mooncake Festival
Chapter 63 Mid-Autumn Festival
Second sister-in-law Gu didn't know this, she only knew that when she complained about slandering the Zhao family, everyone agreed with her, which showed that they all listened. This made her very happy.
Second Wife Gu said triumphantly at home: "Just wait and see, the whole village has their opinions on them, and naturally someone will trouble them, hmph!"
Well, the Gu family has been comforted.
The Gu family has no idea how popular their family is in the village, and they are as confident as the second sister-in-law Gu.
Zhao family.
Widow Qu shed her eyes and wiped her tears. She didn’t know how many times she cried. She repeated her thank you words over and over again. When she was excited, she even pulled Qu Yutao to kowtow to the Zhao family. Deng and others were both moved and wanted to laugh. People hold.
"Family, don't do this, don't do this!"
"Auntie, our family is only here. It's not easy to occupy this place. Otherwise, where will the court's face be put? It is also for this reason that I reported my cousin's name. You can just take it easy. Anyway, sooner or later our family will If you make money to get rid of crimes, you can live at home with peace of mind. My cousin helps me to make money, and you help me at home, that's enough! What are you doing like a cow or a horse, a slave or a handmaid, you can't repay me in eight lifetimes Just stop talking, it's too raw!"
Widow Qu smiled and wiped her tears: "Okay, don't say it, don't say it, our family, don't say such things."
Qu Yutao also had red eyes: "I will definitely work hard to make money, and everyone in our family must be free of crimes."
"Well, yes, that day is not far away!"
"Yes, everyone is happier, ha ha!"
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and it happens to be the time when the moon and the Mid-Autumn Festival are on the verge of dawn. This Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zhao family has a happy, festive, and auspicious day.
Zhao Liya was quite worried about this first Mid-Autumn Festival, for fear that her parents would feel emotional and worried. After all, it was a festive season in the capital last year, so you don't need to think about how lively it was!
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the building collapsed and fell to the dust, and the splendor and wealth are like a dream. Thinking about it, it is already out of reach, as if it never existed. What you see when you open your eyes is full of desolation, who would not feel melancholy?
Fortunately, with such a great event, after all, the atmosphere at home has also become lively.
Their family can be considered to have made meritorious service in the government, which is always a good thing.
One is to celebrate, and the other is to celebrate the festival. On August 15th, the family cooked very rich and delicious dishes.
Just after noon, after killing chickens, stewing meat, and killing fish, everyone started talking and laughing and busy for dinner.
Stewed chicken with wild mushrooms, roasted pork ribs with bamboo shoots, braised pork with taro, braised crucian carp in brown sauce, stir-fried eel with green peppers, stuffed tofu, stuffed loofah, etc. The big round table is full of delicious aromas.
Zhao Liya also specially opened a jar of wine, which was the Chongyang rice wine brewed at home last year as a gift from Zhengbai in Zaihu Village.
The light milky white wine is poured into the cup, and the mellow and rich aroma of the wine slowly wafts away. The whole family raises their glasses together, drinking together with laughter and laughter. Gan, endless aftertaste.
"Good wine, good wine! This Chongyang rice wine is really unique, haha!"
Zhao Xiang smiled and praised while plucking his beard.
Zhao Liya said with a smile: "Uncle Li Zheng said that this wine tastes good, but it has a lot of stamina. Dad likes it. From now on, you can drink one or two small cups every night, and it will also keep you healthy. After a while, the wild chrysanthemums on the mountain will bloom. Let's pick some, let's make some wild chrysanthemum wine!"
Zhao Xiang smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Qu Yutao smiled and said: "My sister said earlier that she picked mountain grapes to make wine."
Zhao Liya smiled: "Pick, pick, pick all of them! Let's buy more wine jars and make more wine!"
Chongyang wine, chrysanthemum wine, mountain wine, next year the bayberry will be ripe, and you can make bayberry wine. Unfortunately, you don’t see much mulberry, otherwise you can make mulberry wine.
Everyone had a lively dinner, the moonlight was excellent, the brilliance poured down, the shadows of people and trees on the ground were clear, if the sun shines directly on the water, the shadows cast by swimming fish on the river sand are bright, clear and clean.
Everyone set up tables and stools in the yard, and the tables were filled with all kinds of food, such as moon cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, peanut candies, peach shortcakes, melon seeds and peanuts, as well as fat grapefruits, small oranges, mangoes, longan, Carambola, papaya, pear, peach and other fruits.
These fruits were all brought back from Zaihu Village.
Aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law are so enthusiastic. There are fruit trees in front of and behind the house, in the corners of the vegetable garden, and on the ground.
Zhao Liya and the others went to the village, and almost every time they returned with a rewarding experience.
Everyone said that these things are worthless, and they can’t finish eating at home. Since they like it, they should take more home.
Zhao Liya was grateful and regretted at the same time, these fruits are actually valuable and good things. If they go to the north, they are rare things, and even the expensive ones can't buy them! It's a pity that the situation of transportation hardware in this era is like this. The fresh melons and fruits in the south are rotten in the ground, but those in the north can't taste them.
In the future, she needs to find a way to improve it.
But right now, their family is enjoying themselves.
After arriving here, I couldn’t finish eating all kinds of fruits alone.
Fresh lychees that can't even be touched in the capital are everywhere here, and various varieties are eaten in turn.
The whole family was in a good mood. On Mid-Autumn Festival, they sat around watching the moon, chatting and laughing before going back to their houses to sleep.
Over Bajiaozhai, everyone envies Zaihu Village very much, so the news that Li Xiaoying's mother has a relationship with the Zhao family, and that the Zhao family has a relationship with the mysterious big boss, should not spread too quickly.
Bajiaozhai Lizheng hinted twice, so just after the 15th day of August, Li Xiaoying returned to her natal home with a pair of children.
I'm afraid it's too late, my mother has already gone to Zhao's house again.
She can ask to send her mother to Zhao's house in person, but it's not easy to go to Zhao's house by herself, right?
Lizheng said, it's best for her to get in touch with the Zhao family first, and talk to the Zhao family first, isn't she familiar with the people who come and go?
Now that you're familiar with it, won't it be easy to talk?
Anyway, what Zaihu Village can do, Bajiao Village can do.
The big boss will never suffer.
Aunt Li Shiyi was shocked when she saw her daughter came here a few days ago and came again. She wondered if something happened at home?
Li Xiaoying quickly smiled and repeatedly denied comfort.
Where can Aunt Li Shiyi believe? This is so strange! She couldn't reassure her without a convincing reason. Maybe the child was afraid that he would be worried, so he made up lies to deceive himself. Aunt Li Shiyi wanted to go to her in-laws' house to see for herself.
Although she is a widow, her clan is her backing, and the people in Zaihu Village are not so easy to bully. She really bullied her daughter, so she went to Lizheng and the patriarch's house to cry, to see if she could get justice.
