Zhou Mingyuan and Li Yuqin are cousins and have a very close relationship.
Zhou Qinglan worked as an educated youth in Qianchuan Forest Farm, and ate and lived in the Tang family. She owed the Tang family their favor.
Now that Tang Fengying is getting married, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife will definitely receive generous gifts.
In addition, I have to bring some gifts to the Tang family. This is the nature of human relations and it is normal.
Of course, the Tang family must be polite.
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, the Tang family accepted the gifts and arranged for Zhou Mingyuan and his wife to rest in the house.
With so much excitement outside, how could Zhou Mingyuan and his wife have the nerve to sit inside and not help?
So I put the two big backpacks and other things in the west room of the Tang family, and then the couple came out to help with the work.
Logically speaking, the Tang family marries their daughters, the Gao family marries their daughters-in-law, and it is the Gao family who is busy.
But the Tang family and the Gao family live next door, and they are separated by a road stick.
Normally, the relationship between the two families is very good, otherwise Tang Fengying and Gao Haining would not be able to make a couple.
The two families have also discussed the matter of holding a happy event.
Nowadays, regardless of the old rules, we can simply remove the stick between the two families, hold a banquet together, and the two families can entertain the guests together.
This saves worry and money, and is convenient for everyone.
So at this moment, someone took pliers and other things to take apart the garden sticks of the two houses, and the yard was opened.
The place was much more spacious now, and it was very lively as people were busy going back and forth.
On the other end, a group of wives washed out all the pig offings and put them into a pot to cook.
Some people set the pig's head and trotters on fire.
After burning the pig hair, scrub it with a brush and rub it clean. Put it all away and put it in the pot.
The master chef is leading the people, and is currently mixing meat fillings, kneading noodles, and preparing croquettes, fried meat slices, mushrooms and other things.
The Gao family went through the trouble of buying some meat before, but it wasn't too much, so they only ordered fried Sixi meatballs and mushrooms, but no meat.
Didn't Sheng Xiping and the others bring meat? After discussion, Gao Haining's parents decided to add some hard vegetables and a piece of meat.
I'm also going to blow up some things here and there. If I prepare a little more, the banquet will look good tomorrow.
The two families had been saving oil for who knows how long, and this time they poured it all into the big pot.
I saw the master chef putting the marinated meat, frozen mushrooms, etc. into the batter, rolling them, and then frying them in the oil pan.
Generally speaking, there are certain things to pay attention to when frying things. You should fry other things first, and then the meatballs last.
What should be fried should be fried, and what should be fried should be fried.
The roe deer, pheasants, and hares brought over by Sheng Xiping and the others two days ago were fortunately cool at this time, so they could be kept for a few more days by smearing some salt on them.
Now take them out, soak them in water to remove the salt, and put them in a pot to cook.
The Gao and Tang families held a happy event, and many people from the forestry farm came to help.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and while chatting, they got to work.
"Hey? Have you heard about it? Li Dabaihua, something evil happened this morning.
I don’t know what happened to his family. When they were lighting the fire for cooking in the morning, the kang suddenly bulged.
Good guy, all the surface of the kang is cracked, and a large part of the kang has collapsed.
I heard that even the pot base was cracked, the pot was crooked, and the room was filled with ash.
Li Dabai talked about his wife and almost got burned by the flames that jumped out."
Among the helpers, there are always a few who are particularly well-informed.
At this moment, we started talking about Li Dabaihua and what happened in the morning.
"Ah? What's going on? You look so good cooking, but how can you make a kang?
Does his family burn sawdust? No, who uses sawdust to burn the kang? They only use that thing to burn the stove."
Everyone has a tendency to gossip. When someone mentions something, others will immediately come over to inquire.
"I don't know what happened, but at that time I happened to go out to collect firewood and planned to make a fire for cooking.
From a distance, I looked at the chimney of Li Dabai's house, and suddenly a puff of black smoke came out.
It was different from the black smoke we usually get when we cook over a fire. There was a big black smoke coming out.
Aren't I curious? So I sent our boy to his house to have a look.
As a result, guess what? My old son came back and said, don’t mention Lao Li’s family now.
That good guy built it, and there was smoke and clack all over the house, but it was all ashes.
There’s no need to buy the kang in his house, it’s all going to have to be ripped out and redistributed.”
There are many residents in the forest farm. Although the Li family lives in a remote area, some people can still notice some abnormalities.
"Oh, no wonder. I heard someone say that at noon today, Li Dabaihua's family went to the cafeteria to get some food.
Then Li Dabaihua kept scolding people. Oops, it was his kanggu that co-wrote it.
It's really good. It depends on how much firewood you put in the pit to make the kang strong."
"Hey, what do you know?
Li Dabai said that his two sons went into the mountains early this morning and came back dragging a dead pig.
I guess they went up the mountain to pick up someone else's pig, quickly cleaned it up when they came back, and planned to eat it.
I was too anxious to eat meat, so I filled the stove pit with firewood, but I failed to finish any of it and the kang was bulging."
With so many people in the forest farm, there are always some good friends who like to gossip.
At this time, we got together and talked about it, it was wonderful.
The chatter on the other end became more and more lively, and the voice became louder and louder.
Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others who were working on the other side, the more they listened, the more they suspected something was wrong.
Li Dabaihua, the kang is bulging? Black smoke suddenly comes out of the chimney?
Why does this sound so similar to the two previous times when Sheng Xiping bombarded badgers and lynxes?
Thinking about it again, Sheng Xiping went to chase the pig thief this morning, and it took a long time before he came back.
"Isn't it? Xiping did something bad again?" Wang Jianshe couldn't hold it back and couldn't stop laughing.
"Well, I guess it was him who did it. He can do the two kicks so smoothly and there's no one else but him."
Chen Weiguo also felt very uncomfortable holding it in, covering his mouth and keeping laughing.
"No wonder he said that there will be a lot of fun when he comes back, isn't that right?
Oops, why didn't he tell us earlier? If he had told us, I wouldn't have eaten at noon, so I would have to go to Li Dabaihua's house to watch the excitement."
Wang Jianshe looked regretful. It was a pity that they could not see such a lively scene with their own eyes.
"Let's go find him and ask him to tell us what happened at that time."
When Chen Weiguo saw that he was almost busy with the work at hand, he dragged Wang Jianshe and went to find Sheng Xiping.
"Xiping, come here, we have something to ask you."
The two found Sheng Xiping who was clearing away tables and chairs. Chen Weiguo stretched out his hand, hooked Sheng Xiping's neck, hugged him and walked out of the Gao family yard.
The three of them ran to the edge of the big river in front, and Chen Weiguo let go of Sheng Xiping.
"Hey? Tell us, how did you blow up the kang of Li Dabaihua's house this morning with two kicks?
We all heard just now that the kang in Li Dabaihua's house was completely unusable and had to be reinstalled.
You are so good, how did you come up with this damaging move?" Chen Weiguo asked, laughing so hard.
It's really so refreshing.
To deal with such scoundrels, it is useless to reason with them, so you have to find a way to deal with them and vent their bad temper.
