Pei Yue thought that it would be fine when he got home, but he didn't expect that the villagers had little entertainment. When they heard that Tian Shao had brought a handsome girl, everyone came over to visit.
When Tian Shao came back, she saw many people gathered in the main room of her home. Before she could speak, these people held her hands and told her how lucky she was.
As soon as she heard this, Tian Shao guessed what was going on. She said without humility at all: "It is only because he is so lucky to find someone as smart, beautiful and hard-working as me."
The scene fell silent instantly.
Li Guihua smiled and scolded: "You are shameless girl, how can you praise yourself so much. Third Aunt, Sister Hua, there are many things at home now so I won't greet you."
Tian Shao raised his voice and said: "What I said is all the truth!"
Everyone laughed and agreed.
The first time my uncle came to the house to kill a chicken, Li Guihua killed the old hen that was laying eggs at home and made soup.
The meal in the evening was very sumptuous, including fish with pickled vegetables, stewed meat with tofu in oil, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, stir-fried dried rabbit with dried chili peppers, peanuts, stir-fried spinach, and old hen stewed with mushrooms. It was quite rich to fill the whole table.
Tian Shao was eating rabbit meat and asked: "Uncle, you can't go into the mountains now. Who killed this rabbit?"
The uncle smiled and said: "It's not difficult to catch rabbits. I have set several traps in the mountains, and my second cousin can pick up rabbits and pheasants in the traps from time to time. In September, I was lucky, and a wild boar fell into the trap. Then
The meat was sold half and half marinated."
Okay, two of the eight dishes on the table are from my uncle's family.
The more Pei drinks, the more he gets drunk, and his face turns red after half a bowl of water and wine. They have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time Tian Shao sees him like this, and thinks he is quite cute.
Tian Shao didn't even need to speak, Tian Dalin said: "Brother, this child Pei Yue seems to be unable to drink, so don't let him drink."
Pei Yue was busy working from the moment he walked in until before dinner, never letting him take a break. He liked such a capable son-in-law very much. In a farmhouse, no matter how good your words are, they are not as good as your hands.
Seeing that Tian Dalin was protecting him, Uncle Li stopped letting Pei Yue drink. He smiled and asked, "Xiao Pei, when will you and Daya get married?"
Pei Yue told him his plan.
But Uncle Li shook his head and said: "No, it's too late to get engaged after the new year. People in the village are gossiping. If you are in such a hurry to get engaged, I'm afraid there will be gossip."
Pei Yue looked at Tian Shao and asked, "Didn't you say that when you wrote the letter before?"
Tian Shao said innocently that he had forgotten.
Li Guihua wanted to go up and pluck Tian Shao's ears. She could forget such a big thing, and she was too careless about her life-long event. Alas, the second child is very married, but the eldest child is so slow that he is not worried at all and is worried.
died.
Tian Shao thought for a moment and said: "If it doesn't work in the first month of next year, then it will be at the end of next year."
Pei Yue felt that the twelfth lunar month was too far away and he had to wait another year. He thought summer vacation was quite good.
Tian Shao shook his head. They might not have time to come back during the summer vacation.
After final discussion, the engagement will be at the end of next year, and the wedding date will be decided then.
After dinner, it was getting dark. Tian Shao looked up and saw the stars flashing in the sky. She said with great interest: "Pei Yue, I will take you for a walk by the river. The scenery by the river at night is beautiful."
When Li Guihua found out, she scolded her: "What kind of monster are you? It's so cold at night that you'll catch a cold if you blow the wind by the river. Go back to your house and rest."
Tian Shao fell silent.
Pei Yue smiled secretly, but he didn't expect Tian Shao to be afraid.
Have a good night's sleep.
After breakfast the next day, we started moving. Unexpectedly, not only Uncle Li's family came, but Tian Dali and Tian Daqiang also came to help.
Normally, Li Guihua would have scolded people out, but in front of Pei Yue, it was difficult to expel them.
Tian Dalin lowered his voice and said to Tian Shao: "Da Ya, Dali and Da Qiang are both good boys. If they are willing to help, don't rush them!"
Tian Shao didn't care and said, "Dad, you can just discuss this with your mother. You don't need to ask me."
She really doesn't plan to care about these things. She will be very busy in the future, and will come back during the Chinese New Year at most. And even if she comes back, she won't stay for a long time, and she won't have much interaction with her relatives at home. It's up to her whether she wants to rebuild her family.
Parents, she doesn't get involved.
Tian Dalin felt relieved when he saw that she really didn't care.
While they were moving the furniture out, five or six more people came, knowing that they were moving and coming to help.
With so many people, it took less than an hour to move everything there.
After moving the things, Tian Dalin set off a firecracker at the door of the new house. Tian Shao also distributed fruit candies to the children who came to watch the fun.
Li Guihua saw her scattering the three kilograms of fruit candies she bought without scolding her. She just complained a little: "This is reserved for the New Year to entertain guests. You should save some."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "We have candy coupons. Let Pei Yue go to the county town and buy five kilograms in the afternoon. Don't you like to eat biscuits? Let him buy ten boxes and bring them back so that you can enjoy them."
Li Guihua was relieved in her heart, but she was not generous with her words: "Although Xiao Pei's salary is high, I can't help you spending so much. After you get married and have children, you will have more places to spend money, so you have to be more economical."
Tian Shao rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, he wants to marry your daughter, so he should buy something to honor you. As for myself, don't worry, everything I spend is earned by myself."
Li Guihua thought about what her husband said and asked: "Your father told me yesterday that you are writing a book again. Will the book make money?"
"The royalties are enough for me."
Li Guihua originally wanted to ask her to save the money, but thinking that Tian Shao would not listen to her, she finally said nothing.
Tian Shao was surprised. When she came back this time, she found that Li Guihua had changed a lot. Not only did she no longer miss her, she became more generous. Although she didn't know the reason, it was a good sign.
After lunch, Tian Dalin and Tian Shao said: "Da Ya, you promised your baby before that you would visit her when you came back. Now that you have brought your partner, it's time to visit her."
"good."
You can't go empty-handed when visiting your elders. The two of them went to the old house carrying a can of malted milk, a pound of White Rabbit toffee, and six cans of canned beef.
While walking on the road, Tian Shao and Pei Yue talked about going to the county supply and marketing cooperative. Not only did she want to buy things, she also wanted to ask Zhao Kang to get some meat and bones to make meat buns and sweet and sour pork ribs for everyone tomorrow.
Pei Yue nodded in agreement.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "My family is quite noisy, are you not used to it?"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "It's lively, it feels like home."
Pei Xuehai never came back after his mother passed away, and the house was so deserted that he himself was unwilling to stay there. Later, when Wang Hongfen came in, he felt like an outsider. But here the whole family was talking and laughing, even if a few of the little ones quarreled.
