Chapter 224 Full Moon Wine
They are hot and sour meatball soup, blanched river shrimp, stir-fried pork slices with porcini mushrooms, and a dish of pepper and salt lard.
Anyone who comes to the banquet, regardless of age or gender, can receive two red eggs.
There’s no such banquet anywhere in the surrounding area!
So rich!
It was obvious that the Zhou family was paying for the banquet. The gifts they received were not enough to set up two tables of food. In addition, they also bought good wine for the men and women to drink.
All the relatives and neighbors who came to the banquet today knew that the Zhou family had made a comeback.
How shabby it was two years ago, how embarrassing it is now.
Everyone speculated that Mr. Zhou must have accumulated good karma in the underworld, otherwise how could the Zhou family become rich overnight!
After the banquet, everyone gathered around a table to watch Thursday's egg shake name.
After stuffing a few pieces of paper into the weak little palm, Zhou Laosan shook his son's arm, and a piece of paper fell from his hand.
Zhou Mingyuan took it and saw the word "Xiu".
"Zhou Mingxiu, Zhou Mingxiu, my brother's name is Zhou Mingxiu!"
"Okay, okay, this is a good name."
"That's a nice name."
"It sounds grand and very suitable for a man from the Zhou family!"
Everyone praised the performance, pushing the banquet to another climax.
Zhou Laosan was holding his son in his arms, feeling extremely happy.
"Ming Xiu, Ming Xiu, it sounds so good~~"
Feng took her son and couldn't help laughing when she saw how happy her husband was.
"For my own son, naturally I think any name is good."
"You're right. The name has been chosen. If you feel tired, come inside and rest for a while. I'll go have a couple of drinks. It's rare that you're so happy today."
"Drink less, so you don't get drunk later."
"Hahaha, I know, I know."
It is indeed tiring to greet so many relatives.
Fortunately, Sidan has so many brothers and sisters who can help take care of him.
Zhou Mingshu sat aside, looking at his younger brother who was already fast asleep.
The face is chubby and very cute.
There is a piece of skin curled up on the lips, which is the skin of the legs of infants and young children that grow too fast.
"Third sister, why is my brother asleep again? What a lazy guy~" Zhou Minghua couldn't help but feel disgusted with his brother while eating salt and pepper pork lard residue.
"Hahaha, Si Ya, kids are like this. The more they sleep, the taller they grow. We were all the same when we were little."
"Oh, so that's it!"
Zhou Mingshu touched his little sister's braids. The childish words were really funny.
Zhou Minghua was very curious about the little man on the bed and would reach out and poke his little face from time to time.
The baby's skin felt very smooth, and she wanted to touch it again and again.
If you do it too many times, you are bound to make mistakes.
Look, Zhou Mingxiu has already started crying loudly.
"Hey, Si Ya, please stop poking your brother. He's crying."
Zhou Mingshu patted the child's belly, and the crying gradually subsided.
"Children are very fragile. We'll play with him when he grows up a little bit. Now we can only watch him sleep."
When Zhou Minghua heard this, he thought it was too boring, so he went to find Zhou Mingyuan to play.
The little brother was nice to her. He took her to play games like hide-and-seek and gave her plenty to do every day.
After the banquet, most of the guests in the yard had left.
Only some close neighbors and relatives were left in the yard to chat with Old Mrs. Zhou.
My aunt and uncle were sitting on one side chatting, and there were also the in-laws from each room and Mr. Chen's family.
My aunt and her family came here with Mr. Chen, and they shared his car, so the journey was not difficult.
Mr. Chen also wanted some mugwort ointment and soap to take away.
After discussing it, my aunt and uncle introduced the next-door neighbor to Zhou Mingqin.
They had been paying attention to this matter for a long time. Their neighbors were a friendly family with only two sons who were of marriageable age and were a perfect match for Daya.
He is of the same age and looks good. Most importantly, the adults in his family are sensible and their life is not bad.
When my aunt mentioned this matter, Old Mrs. Zhou also remembered it.
Before they got married, they were all from the same village, so they were all old acquaintances.
If this marriage can be accomplished, it will be a closer relationship.
Liu was also happy. If she could find a good family for her daughter, she would have no regrets.
Once the adults had agreed to this matter, the rest of the things would be easy to handle, except that the two families would have to look at the child and then look at each other.
This is normal procedure and should be followed naturally.
The whole family was very happy, except Zhou Mingqin who was depressed.
My uncle and aunt beside me grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds from the fruit plate and ate them.
"Oh my~ our eldest daughter is already old enough to get married. Time flies by so fast."
The person who spoke was Liu's brother and sister-in-law. Today was a happy occasion, and the whole family, including parents, brothers and sisters, had come.
There was a large group of them making a lot of noise.
Zhou Mingzhi took the children to the backyard to play, so the front yard was not so noisy.
"Yes, our eldest daughter is already sixteen. She will be seventeen after this year. She is relatively late among her peers. Most of the older children have already been married."
"Yes, yes. My Wanniang will be fifteen after this year. Her eldest aunt, please take care of us. It will be difficult for her to get married if she is two years later."
Liu looked at her sister-in-law's smiling face, and felt so uncomfortable after hearing these words...
"Yes, big sister, Wan Niang has known how to care for others since she was a child, and she especially likes you. Please pay more attention to our Wan Niang."
Even her younger brother said so. Liu's heart sank. She did not agree but declined politely.
"I'm busy enough with my daughter and son's affairs. You guys just need to worry about your daughters. As an aunt, I won't get involved. I don't have time."
After Liu refused, she took her mother to the backyard, intending to chat with her mother. She didn't want to talk much with her younger brothers and sisters, so she avoided them whenever possible.
It's always bad news when they open their mouths.
But as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Wan Niang standing beside her son and talking.
There was nothing wrong with the cousin being a little more intimate, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she saw it.
Considering what happened just now, Liu seemed to understand something.
They wouldn't want to force Wan Niang into her hands, right? !
She doesn't want it!
Liu took the silver and food that had been prepared in advance, talked to the old man for a while, and then quickly let them go home.
She wants to reduce contact between them cousins!
Zhu's parents have also come, and they are about to leave at this time.
They lived quite far away and had a business to make, so they were not short of money. Therefore, Zhu brought them a lot of food and dry goods.
"These are what San Ya picked on the mountain and left for you. This bag contains chili seeds. Plant them next spring and you'll have chili peppers to eat soon. You can put them in dishes and sell them in our shop. You'll definitely get a good price for them. This is wormwood paste for relieving itching. This is soap for washing clothes. There's also a bag of lard residue..."
Zhu searched and collected so many things that the two old people’s backpacks could hardly hold them all.
"Alright, alright. If you don't know, you might think we are beggars. We have enough food and clothes at home. You don't need to worry about these things. The right thing to do is to raise the child well."
