Her mother-in-law's words made Huang Yuezhu so angry that she opened her mouth and pursed her lips.
Erhuazi was afraid that she would quarrel with his mother, so he hurriedly pulled her towards the hall, "If you find it boring to stay at home, then just sit here, or do you want to go find Fugui? Fugui and Lingbao are here
Let’s play together…”
"What did your mother mean just now? She said it as if I was just getting in the way."
"Oh, my mother's personality is like that. It's not like you don't know it. She doesn't have any ill intentions in her heart. She is probably afraid that you might accidentally bump into her while you are pregnant." Erhuazi explained to his wife in a consoling manner.
At this moment, his mother's voice sounded outside, "Erhuazi, you haven't shaved off your pig hair yet. Come over here and get it done! I'm going to scald the pork!"
"Come on, I'll go get it right away!"
After saying that, Erhuazi hurried back to the kitchen.
At the same time, several of his uncles had just arrived in Baihe Village. Among them, the eldest uncle's family came the most, including Uncle Shen, his wife, his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law. The third and fourth uncles were the only ones who came.
and their two wives.
"Are there too many people here?" Aunt Shen said, "When the time comes, my sister-in-law and her family won't be able to get anything to eat, so we will be embarrassed, right?"
"Didn't you agree to bring the pickles yourself?"
"Yes, I did, but our family only brought food for ourselves. I was afraid that my sister-in-law's family wouldn't have anything to eat. It would be embarrassing for us to sit there and eat by ourselves."
After she finished speaking, her eldest son frowned, "It shouldn't be the case, right? Since it's just a free thing, it can't be that you haven't prepared anything, right? Even if you don't have anything to eat, you should get some sweet potatoes or something, right?"
"It's possible, your aunt has given birth to so many sons, and your uncle has been lying in bed for so many years, unable to help with anything, and even made several children go around looking for loans to buy him medicine.
…”
Before she could continue, Uncle Shen interrupted: "Okay! Don't say such things at this time. Everyone has left, and they all say that the dead are the most important. It would be very bad for you to say such things at this time.
ah?"
"Yes, sister-in-law," Third Uncle Shen said, "Brother-in-law is also a poor man. He is paralyzed in bed, unable to move except his head and hands. He has suffered for so many years. Hey, he is finally relieved now."
Out of respect for the dead, no one said anything else.
When they were approaching Jiang's house, they heard lively chatter and laughter in the distance. When they got closer, they saw that the courtyard door of Jiang's house was open and a lot of people were coming in and out.
"Dad, where is my aunt's house?" Shen Guisheng asked his father suspiciously, "It's impossible to invite so many people for nothing, right?"
His fourth uncle said: "It really doesn't look like it. This is a wedding banquet, right? But even if it's a wedding treat, it's impossible to have so many people here."
After saying that, he turned to look at his elder brother, "Brother, are you taking the wrong route?"
Uncle Shen scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I'm not sure either. I've only been here two or three times in total. When my mother was here, I accompanied her to deliver things to Su'e. All of this has happened.
How many years has it been?"
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, haven't you been here before?" Liao Guifen asked.
Third Uncle Shen and Fourth Uncle Shen shook their heads almost at the same time, "No, my eldest brother was responsible for sending off the wedding, and none of us came. Besides, even if we did come, it was more than 20 years ago. How can we remember it so clearly?"
"How about asking someone to ask?"
After Liao Guifen finished speaking, she walked into the yard and asked the woman who was fetching water by the well: "Excuse me, is this the Jiang family?"
The woman did not respond to her question immediately, but looked her up and down for a while, "Who are you? You are not from our village."
"Oh, I'm that... Jiang..."
Liao Guifen didn't know how to introduce herself. Her father-in-law stepped forward and said, "I am Jiang Qingshan's brother from his wife's natal family. My sister invited us here today, so I would like to ask if this is Jiang Qingshan's home." ?”
"Oh, you are Aunt Shen's brother?" The woman suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, this is the Jiang family..."
After saying that, she shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Aunt Shen, your brother is here! And your relatives over there, please come out and say hello!"
In the kitchen, Shen Su'e had just taken out the blanched pork and was about to cut the pork belly. When she heard the noise outside, she frowned and said, "Oh, I'm too busy right now! Dad, help me greet me. Big brother, third brother and the others."
Jiang Qingshan was chopping corn. After listening to his wife's words, he said, "I'm busy too, why don't I let Dadongzi go first..."
Dadongzi and several people were peeling corn buds together, and now they had torn off the corn silk. He said "OK" and walked out quickly.
When his brother-in-law saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in surprise: "Oh, I thought I was in the wrong place. Dadongzi, why did your family invite so many people over?"
"Yes, this was my mother's idea..."
With that said, he invited his uncle and the others into the hall. He saw the rich lady sitting in a chair in a daze, and introduced him: "Uncle, this is Erhuazi's daughter-in-law, her name is Huang Yuezhu."
After hearing this, Huang Yuezhu quickly stood up and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why did you invite all her relatives over there?"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and call someone first," Dadongzi coughed and introduced them one by one, "This is the uncle, this is the eldest aunt, this is the third uncle and the third aunt, they are the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt ,This is my cousin and cousin-in-law..."
Huang Yuezhu reluctantly called everyone over, her face showing depression and displeasure, and she muttered, "There are so many people here all at once. It seems that my mother is really planning to eat all that wild boar today." Light, don’t leave any for yourself, no matter what, you have to leave some fat for yourself, right? Eat it all, what will you eat in the future? You won’t be so lucky in the future, how can you pick it up every time? Wild boar?"
Her words shocked Uncle Shen and others.
"What? Wild boar?"
"You don't know?" Huang Yuezhu asked.
Only then did Dadongzi remember that he had forgotten to mention the wild boar feast yesterday, "Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday that my family picked up a frozen wild boar. My mother thought of taking this opportunity to share the wild boar with everyone. eat together."
In an instant, Uncle Shen and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Aunt Shen asked: "A whole wild boar? Did I hear that right?"
"It's a whole head..."
Dadongzi was about to talk about Lingbao when someone called him from outside, "Dadongzi, come here and see what's going on with the lock? Why does your woodshed still have a lock? I want to help chop some firewood. , I can’t even take out the axe.”
After hearing this, Uncle Shen hurriedly said: "Dadongzi, go and do your work."
"That's it, let me go and take a look first..."
After he left, several members of the Shen family looked at each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, wondering if they had heard wrong just now.
"Erhua's daughter-in-law, her name is Yuezhu, right?" Aunt Shen asked with a smile, "Oh, your belly looks like it's about to give birth."
"Soon, probably next month."
Aunt Shen chatted with Huang Yuezhutou for a while and said: "It seems that your mother-in-law cares about your father-in-law very much. For him, the banquet was so big and so many people were invited to eat wild boar meat. But that's right. After all, it was
After all her life, your mother-in-law is still quite emotional.
But is the wild boar you just mentioned the kind that runs in the mountains? It should be the kind of wild boar we understand, right?"
Huang Yuezhu was a little confused, "Huh?"
"It's, I mean, can we really eat wild boar meat today?"
