No one has lived there for a while, and it looks like a mess.
As expected, Su Xiaotian saw a pile of stones, earthen jars and the like that her second parents helped clean up in the main room.
Su Xiaotian found a basket and put them all in.
She said she wanted to hide them all, but in fact she smuggled all these treasures into space.
Su Xiaotian felt that she would not come back many times in the future, so she might as well take them all away this time.
Grandma Su and others were also busy with their own affairs. When Su Xiaotian said this, they didn't take it to heart.
Anyway, it’s your child’s belongings, so you might as well put them away yourself.
Grandma Su took her three daughters-in-law, Su Xiaotian, Li Linlin, and Li Zhuzhu's daughter-in-law who came over to help, and spent most of the day tidying up the house.
Grandma Su looked at the dark wall and said, "If you don't have time, why don't you paint the wall white to make it look better?"
"Grandma, we are just here to entertain guests." Su Xiaotian said with a smile: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law's house in Beijing is very well-kept!"
Grandma Su looked at Su Xiaotian angrily.
"You kid, I just said it in vain."
The whole family has lived in this old house for several decades and has a lot of affection for it. However, after coming here this time, she suddenly felt a strange feeling.
When I left, I thought that when the children grew up, they would come back.
But now I feel that I may come back less and less in the future.
Wang Xianghua could understand Grandma Su's thoughts and said with a smile: "Mom, people have to go up in life. Our family has gone far now, so maybe this place is just a thought."
"I understand this, but I feel a little reluctant to leave the home I have lived in for most of my life!"
"Nai, home is where there are people. Our whole family is outside."
"Mom, look at you, how come you think of these bad things on such a good day?" Liang Xiu quickly calmed down the atmosphere: "After we have finished these things, there are still many things to do."
"What you're saying is that I'm overthinking it. Third daughter-in-law, how many tables of guests do you think we can accommodate? Is it enough to buy fifty kilograms of pork?"
"Mom, our family is having a double happiness this time, but we need more than half of it. Fifty pounds of meat is probably not enough, so we need at least eighty pounds." Qi Liangying silently calculated in his mind and said.
"How much does it cost?" Grandma Su thought it was a lot at first, but then she thought that the whole family would come here in large numbers, and the fare alone would cost a lot.
This little bit of meat is nothing.
"Mom, there must be a lot of people coming to this happy event for our family. I estimate there will be twenty people at the table anyway."
Liang Xiu hadn't thought about this matter yet, but after hearing what Qi Liangying said, she felt it made sense.
"No, most of the people from the village will come by then, and when they come, they will have to bring their families with them! In addition, relatives and friends are also indispensable."
Listening to what the two daughters-in-law said, Grandma Su nodded. She seemed to have a plan in mind, and she felt relieved.
"Mom, I think that in addition to pork, we also need to buy some chicken. I don't know if anyone has been fishing in the past two days. It would be decent if we add fish!"
After all, Qi Liangying was not as fussy as before, but she quickly recited all the recipes on the table.
"Oh, I have never seen such a banquet!" Li Zhuzhu's wife sighed.
Things have gotten better in the past two years, and it would be nice to have two meat dishes on a table. Going back to the years when she was a child, the tables were even more shabby.
"Okay, let's ask around and ask Zhuzi to help." Grandma Su followed Qi Liangying's wishes and planned to prepare the banquet in a decent manner: "Get us some more wine, and let everyone drink to their heart's content!"
"Mom, do you think the children will have their own seats, or will they just sit with the adults?" Wang Xianghua asked.
According to the rules of banquets in the village, the adults sit at the table and the children eat standing next to them. They are not given separate seats.
In fact, this is because the food and wine prepared are limited and we dare not prepare a seat for the children alone.
"Each person has his own place. Our family is not short of money for food and drink now. Don't be so picky and make people look stingy!" Grandma Su advocated.
All three daughters-in-law agreed.
Li Zhuzhu's wife smiled and said, "Auntie, there are a lot of children in the village."
"Don't be afraid! Let the children sit and eat decently!" Grandma Su said with a smile: "Zhuzi's wife, ask Zhuzi to go to the county town tomorrow and bring your father over."
Li Zhuzhu and his wife were really good to the Su family, and they were almost the same as their own children, so Grandma Su also wanted to give Li Zhuzhu's wife some face by talking about this matter.
"My father won't answer it!" Li Zhuzhu's wife hesitated and said.
Although her father lived with her and Li Zhuzi, he was not from Nanling Village after all.
If you really come to have a dinner, someone might laugh at you.
"What's the big deal? What's the relationship between our two families?" Wang Xianghua said with a smile, "Just go and pick it up, no one else will say anything."
Li Zhuzhu's wife knew that the Su family was sincere, so she agreed.
"There is a breeding farm in our village. You should be able to buy eggs and chicken. I just don't know if there are suitable pigs. If there are, I will buy one." Grandma Su said casually, thinking of the breeding farms in the village.
.
The others naturally followed Grandma Su's wishes. They all have to spend money anyway, and it doesn't matter where they spend it.
"Okay, mother, I'll go over and take a look in the afternoon!" Wang Xianghua said.
She also really wanted to go back and see the chicken farm that she had put a lot of thought into.
It took a few people to sort out all these things, and then other people in the village came to help. When they came, they were carrying some leeks, radish, cabbage and the like that they had grown at home.
"I thought you just came back and it's not convenient for you to eat food, so I'll bring you some." A young daughter-in-law who can talk said with a smile.
