Tan Yue came back in the evening and told Tian Shao about the children's full-moon banquet. Because the two children were born prematurely, except for the old man, Tan Xingguo and his wife, and other particularly close people, all others who wanted to visit were refused.
"Who told you?"
Tan Yue said with a smile: "Sister-in-law called me today and told me that our two children will be one month old soon, and it is the custom here for children to have full-moon banquets."
Because it was customary, he did not refuse and said that he would come back to discuss with Tian Shao before replying.
It is a custom all over the country to have full-moon drinks when a child is born. It’s just that some people find it troublesome or have other reasons not to do it. Generally, they will do it if they love the child and their family conditions permit.
Tian Shao nodded and said: "The full moon wine must be held, but our child is premature. Some of the guests who are coming have a cold or cough. What should I do if they are infected?"
The child is frail, so we need to pay special attention to it. As for her, although she will have to be in confinement for two months, I can just ask my sister-in-law to help arrange for her to show up when the time comes.
Tan Yue thought for a moment and said, "When you send out the invitation, please explain to them that the child is too weak to be carried out."
"Who are you going to invite?"
Tan Yue reported the names of several people, all of whom were very close. They all knew the situation of the two children, and they would be considerate even if they could not see the children at the full moon party.
Tian Shao thinks this is okay.
Tan Yue added: "If there are too many people, it will be noisy. When the time comes, the banquet will be placed in the house next to it, so that you and the two children will not be disturbed."
Seeing how thoughtful he was, Tian Shao didn't raise any further opinions.
Tan Yue said one more thing: "When I was at the intersection just now, I happened to meet my mother getting off the bus. Xiaoshao, since we have a car at home, you can ask Gao Youliang or Shan Deyi to pick up and drop off my mother."
Tian Shao smiled, this son-in-law is so considerate: "I told you, mother is not happy. She said that the smell of the car is worse than taking the bus, and by the way, you can chat with people in the car."
After deciding to come to Sijiucheng for retirement, Tian Dalin took Li Guihua to learn Mandarin together. After learning it for so many years, it is no problem to communicate with people, even with an accent, as long as others can understand, it doesn't require too much.
Tan Yue thought about Li Guihua who was walking fast, and said with a smile: "I think my mother is very happy."
Tian Shao hummed and said: "My mother is very talkative. As long as she is interested in buying clothes, she will almost never go out empty-handed after entering the store. Sanya suggested to her that she could open a clothing store in the county town, and she was very excited. I told her
She said that if you are worried about being busy with things at home, you can hire someone to do laundry and cook."
People would feel tired when looking at the store, but Li Guihua was still full of energy every time she came back. Tian Shao thought this was a good sign, so he came over with Sanya and Tian Dalin to talk about it, and then the father and daughter began to praise her.
.
Faced with the compliments from Sanya and Tian Dalin, Li Guihua felt better, but Tian Shao's generous praise made her overjoyed. Over the years, mother and daughter often quarreled due to their different concepts, and she has always been the suppressed one.
Now that Tian Shao has praised her, Li Guihua wants to get things done even more. She is trying to figure out how to sell more clothes every day, so she has no time to care about Tian Shao and Sanya's family affairs.
"What did mother say?"
Tian Shao smiled and said, "I agreed after hearing Sanya say that the selling price of these clothes is twice the purchase price."
It is difficult for ordinary people to open a store, but it is easy for them. The supply channels are ready. The store calls Suozhu to buy them, and Li Guihua will be responsible for selling clothes.
Bai Churong heard that Tian Shao agreed to hold a full-moon banquet, but did not want to hold the children out for everyone to see. She said doubtfully: "Minyu weighs six pounds and six taels, and Minji now weighs six pounds and two taels. The two children should be able to be carried out.
Let everyone see it!”
If the child is really in bad health, it would be understandable not to take him out, but she had just passed away two days ago and the two children were fine. In this case, it is a bit difficult to understand.
Tan Yue explained: "The two children have low immunity. If anyone who comes to eat has a cold or a cough, they will suffer the consequences if they are infected by it."
Bai Churong was speechless after hearing this. Nowadays, medical care is much better than before, but there are also children who die in infancy. She cannot guarantee that those who come to eat the full moon wine must be healthy. After all, for adults, symptoms
A mild cold is not taken seriously and will be cured in two days, but it can be fatal to a weak child.
"Then how many tables will you serve?"
Tan Yue said: "There are two tables for Xiaoshao, two tables for my colleagues and comrades, and it is best not to have more than three tables for relatives at home."
In his current position, it would not be good for the child to have a full moon and have sex, so seven tables would be enough.
"good."
That afternoon, Bai Churong went to see Mr. Tan and relayed Tan Yue's meaning to him: "Dad, this is the list I made. Can you check it out?"
Mr. Tan took his reading glasses and read it carefully. After reading it, he asked: "Why didn't you invite that Mu Kang? He was adopted by your uncle, who is a serious cousin."
Bai Churong said helplessly: "Dad, don't you know the temperament of the third child? Even if I add the name, the third child will cross it out."
Tan Xingguo pursues the doctrine of moderation, and even if he doesn't like his appearance, he is kind-hearted, so he has an excellent reputation. But Tan Yue is different. If he doesn't like him, he won't look twice at him, let alone interact with him. Like Qu Yan, he has been very kind for so many years.
She is not allowed to come to the house, and she never talks to her when she goes to Xiaohonglou. Fortunately, the nature of her work is special, otherwise she would not be able to get along with her at all.
Of course, the old man also knew his temper and put him in Liao Buda's unit.
Mr. Tan also knew Tan Yue's temperament, so he nodded and added two more names.
Bai Churong saw the two names he wrote and said hesitantly: "Dad, these two old men are in a nursing home, so why don't we disturb them?"
In fact, she was worried about what Tan Yue said. It was a great honor for Tan Yue and Tian Shao that these two people could go to the full moon banquet. It would be unreasonable not to take out the child to show them.
Mr. Tan said with a smile: "These two old guys heard that the third child gave birth to twins, so they called me specifically and said they wanted to see these two little guys. If they are not invited to the full moon banquet, they will talk about me.
.Give him the list. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll call her.”
Having said this, Bai Churong said no more.
When Bai Churong came downstairs, Qu Yan asked if it was about the full moon party for the two children.
Bai Churong nodded and said, "Yes, the third child said that the full moon banquet will be held at his home. Xiao Shao is going to be a double confinement, so he asked me to help organize the full moon banquet."
Qu Yan volunteered that if there was anything she needed, she was welcome to ask.
Bai Churong was very surprised. This was because the sun was rising in the west. But she also knew Qu Yan's temperament, so there must be some reason why she didn't know it.
Bai Churong declined politely: "No need, Aunt Qu, I can handle this."
Tan Yue had always disliked seeing her, so it was impossible for her to arrange a full-moon banquet for the two children. And this time, there were only seven tables, so it didn't take much effort.
