The New Year's Eve dinner at Lin Zhu's house was also particularly lively.
For this day, Lin Zhu specially discussed with Old Doctor Zhang that everyone should have dinner together, including all the maids, women, and guard servants.
In order not to make the Zhang sisters feel that it was too unruly, Lin Zhu ordered the host to divide the table into two tables for men and women, and Chang Shi divided the rest into three tables according to the rules.
The scene was very lively, everyone sat at the table together and started eating together. The Zhang sisters no longer had to ask the maids to wait on the side, and they could eat at another table freely.
The old doctor Zhang opened the banquet with a toast. At first, the servants of the Zhang family were a little uncomfortable. They had never eaten in the same room as the master, and they were all a little nervous. Gradually, they found that the people at the head table were not as busy as they were from time to time.
He asked them to serve, and then he slowly relaxed.
In addition, for this New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Zhu specially used special vegetables on the dinner table. Moreover, the potatoes, peppers, mushrooms, dried beans, dried cucumber slices, and dried vegetables produced in Lin Zhu Zhuangzi were also used.
Lin Zhu taught Aunt Wang and Mama Cai one by one how to make eggplant slices and the like so that they tasted delicious. In addition, the two of them were already superb cooks, so they didn’t need Lin Zhu to prepare the meals.
Zhu Duojia is worried.
This meal not only included mountain delicacies but also game. Roe deer, hare and golden pheasant were all brought back with the help of Heidouer, which made the Lin Zhu family's New Year's Eve dinner richer. Everyone ate with a smile on their faces. The atmosphere was bright.
It is also getting more and more enthusiastic.
After the first one boldly proposed a toast to the main table, there was a second one, and then a third one, and later on, even Zhang Manyun and Zhang Manqing drank a lot of wine toasted by the maids and women. Their faces turned pink.
, with smiles in their eyes. This is also very novel for them. In the Zhang Mansion, they usually have to act like the master at all times, and rarely have such a wanton opportunity. This New Year's Eve dinner also made them remember
profound.
Dr. Zhang and Mr. Du were also toasted with a lot of wine, but they were also very happy, especially when they saw the sincere smiles on people's faces instead of the flattering and perfunctory smiles they had seen before, and they felt very happy in their hearts.
It was very enjoyable. The two of them laughed at each other from time to time, and drank the wine even more happily.
As time goes by, the New Year's Eve dinner is gradually coming to an end. Children like Lin Zhu and others can hardly sit still. They set off firecrackers in the morning, but Lin Zhu also asked someone to buy them back and will not set them off at this time.
When will it be more?
A few young people were winking at the side. Old Doctor Zhang and the others also noticed it, but they pretended not to see it. Until Fu Dou'er was sent out, he walked towards Old Doctor Zhang in small steps and said with
Her little hand held his sleeve and looked at him pitifully. "Grandpa, set off fireworks. Set off fireworks."
"Hehehehe," Old Doctor Zhang laughed and glared at Lin Zhu and the others at the table. "Okay, let's go and let it go."
Lin Zhu and the others cheered and rushed into the yard together.
At this time, people were also afraid that the little masters would be too excited and unsafe, so many people followed. Many of them also wanted to watch the fun.
"Old man Du, let's join in the fun too?" Old doctor Zhang noticed that many people were already absent-minded, so he asked Du Heng with a smile.
"Haha, you old man Zhang." Mr. Du smiled and stood up with him and followed the children to the yard. Others who were too embarrassed to follow also followed suit.
Including Lin Zhu, Zhang Manyun and Zhang Manqing, as well as Fu Douer and Feng Rongxuan, under the leadership of Chang Tianlei, people moved the fireworks outside the spacious gate.
Lin Zhu was afraid that the sparks of the fireworks would fall in the yard and cause problems, so he suggested setting them off at the gate.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement. They watched nervously and excitedly as Chang Tianlei arranged the fireworks brought by his servants on the ground. They were arranged in groups of five, and the flowers were all twisted together, and then lit with incense.
, leave quickly.
Not long after, the brightly colored and sparkling fireworks soared into the sky. They spread out in the dark sky, illuminating the sky above Linjia Village very beautifully.
Many people from Linjia Village were also attracted, and some even brought their own fireworks.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, everyone gathered together and laughed.
The children in the village were also running around among the crowd, and Lin Zhu sent someone to bring some candies to them.
There were also daring children who went to set off fireworks with Chang Tianlei. Fu Dou'er was very jealous when he saw this, and begged Lin Zhu from time to time to let her agree to light the fireworks with Chang Tianlei.
Being entangled, Lin Zhu had no choice but to stop Chang Tianlei and ask him to take Fu Dou'er and Feng Rongxuan to light the fireworks at close range. This move made Chang's mother and the others very opposed. But under Fu Dou'er's tears
Under the offensive, Chang Shishu had no choice but to go into the sea. He held Feng Rongxuan, and Chang Tianlei held Fu Dou'er. As soon as the two of them lit the cannon and fired, they immediately rushed to a safe area.
Fu Dou'er and Feng Rongxuan, two little buns, laughed and didn't care about the worries of the people around them. Lin Zhu gave the two heartless guys a head bang each to make them calm down a little.
"Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep in the sky." Old Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and looked at the sky with a smile.
"Okay, don't recite sour poems. This is a rare opportunity for you and me to have a drink." I don't know where Mr. Du took out a wine pot and two wine glasses. He took the butler's hand and poured the wine.
After buying two glasses of wine, I clinked the glasses with Dr. Zhang and drank them all in one gulp. "Hahaha, it's so refreshing."
Finally, all the fireworks were set off, and people dispersed reluctantly.
Logically speaking, one should keep the New Year's Eve, but because there was so much noise during the day, the children couldn't hold on any longer, so the old doctor Zhang waved his sleeves and allowed them to go to bed.
After washing, Lin Zhu sat down on Fu Dou'er's bed with satisfaction. Seeing Fu Dou'er, who had been washed clean, also got on the bed, and she gently put him in her arms.
"Fu Dou'er, are you sleepy?" Lin Zhu asked softly.
"Yeah." Fu Dou'er had been playing around behind Chang Tianlei for a long time today, and now he was showing signs of fatigue.
"How about sleeping with your sister today?" In the past two years, Lin Zhu slept with Fu Dou'er and Chang's mother. The three of them sat together and fell asleep talking.
"Well," Fu Dou'er nodded and pointed to Mother Chang not far away, "There is also Mother Chang."
"Of course there is Mother Chang." Lin Zhu patted Fu Dou'er's little hand.
After a while, Chang's mother finished cleaning up and got into bed. She wrapped the two of them in quilts and covered her legs with quilts.
"Girl, it's been more than two years in the blink of an eye, and Fu Dou'er has grown up too." Chang's mother took Fu Dou'er from Lin Zhu's arms, because she could no longer hold Fu Dou'er.
"Well, I can hardly hold him anymore. He eats like a little pig." Lin Zhu tapped Fu Dou'er's little nose.
"It's not a little pig." Fu Dou'er, who was dozing off, woke up unhappy when he heard Lin Zhu say that and retorted.
"Okay, okay, our Fu Dou'er is either a piglet or a little fatter than a piglet." Lin Zhu pinched his little face like a bun and teased.
Fu Dou'er twisted her little body in embarrassment and buried her face in Chang's mother's arms.
"Haha, you are lucky if you are fat. You won't be so fat when you grow up." Chang's mother smiled and comforted Fu Dou'er. She patted his back gently as she spoke.
"He is just blessed, otherwise I wouldn't have named him Fu Dou'er." Lin Zhu remembered what it was like when he named him, but now that he thinks about it, it would be a bit awkward to call him Fu Dou'er when he grows up.
It's appropriate. Maybe in a few years, after he understands some things, he will protest to her because of this.
"Hehe, Mom Chang, tell me, will he blame me for calling him that in the future? It would be fun if his wife also knew his nickname." Lin Zhu gave full play to his imagination, imagining Fu Dou'er and Fu Dou'er.
His wife called him Fu Dou'er in a funny way when she was in the house.
"Haha, in a few years we won't be able to call him that anymore. Then we will have to call him Master Fu," Chang's mother saw Lin Zhu's unscrupulous smile and laughed too.
"Lin Youfu? Youfu? Master Fu?" Lin Zhu felt that these names were not as nice as Fu Dou'er. "Mother Chang, it's not nice to call her that way, but it's easy to pronounce."
"Girl, how can you call him Master Fu? Just call him Brother Fu." Chang's mother corrected her with a smile.
"Yes, it's nice to be called Fu Di." Lin Zhu clapped his hands.
While the two were talking and laughing, Fu Dou'er had already fallen asleep. Chang's mother put him down and covered him with a quilt.
"Girl, if you want to go to the capital, why don't you take someone with you from Zhuangzi? I see there are a few little girls in Zhuangzi. I can take them with you to keep you company." Chang's mother looked at Fu Dou'er lying on the bed.
Lin Zhu on one side said.
"Well, we need to bring some people." Lin Zhu also had this idea. "It's not appropriate to put so many people on Zhuangzi." Lin Zhu also heard that before, Manager Song of Zhuyuan didn't obey Zhao Da.
The conductor of Zhao Zhuangtou made the village
The atmosphere was not very good. Fortunately, his family members were quite sensible. Otherwise, Chang Shi would have reported to Lin Zhu and kicked them out due to Chang Shi's temper. Moreover, his two daughters were also betrothed to people from Zhuangzi.
It wouldn't be appropriate to kick him out.
"If the girl wants to bring some people to Beijing, it is better to bring a few young daughters and sons from the village to stay with the girl. It will be better than staying with their father and mother." Mother Chang suggested.
"Hehe, Mother Chang really thinks about me." After hearing what she said, Lin Zhu understood what Mother Chang meant. When Lin Zhu arrived in the capital, he would naturally loosen his control over the village leaders. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, who knows?
Will anyone among them do something bad?
As for my thoughts, if I take their families with me, there will be a restraint, which can be regarded as promoting them on the surface, killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support
