Zhang Chi called the three grandfathers back home.
The family sat at the table and chatted while eating pimple soup.
The topic of conversation turned to Zhang Wen and Zheng Huai's wedding. At this time, Zhang Chi found it difficult to speak, but his family didn't have any special thoughts. They just wanted to see what Zhang Wen's Western-style wedding would be like.
What is the method and how is it different from that in our country?
"Are you saying that all the money for the wedding was paid for by the woman's father?" Miao Guifang was a little confused. This family has already married their daughter, so why would they still pay for it? Isn't that a tip-off?
"It's usually like this here. Of course, there are also fathers who are not willing to give in. Anyway, there are all kinds of people." Gu Ying explained briefly from the side.
"The bride price is high, right?" Miao Guifang asked again.
Zhang Youliang smiled and said: "Where are the betrothal gifts? The money you charge for a meal is quite small. Generally speaking, the young couple makes a list, to the effect that they give out the things they need in life in the future. Usually they are some small things.
Home appliances and the like, and then relatives and friends look at the list and choose what they want to buy as gifts for the young couple."
"that's all?"
Zhang Youliang nodded.
"That's too sloppy. There's not even a reminder in the process. We just have a meal together? It's just like when our country was in trouble," Miao Guifang said with a smile.
The old lady's impression: The wedding must be held according to our Chinese procedures. If anything is missing, it will not be authentic. How can I put it, the old lady thinks that ours is the most authentic.
Gu Yingdao: "Today's young people, many of them don't even have to do this. They just get a certificate and forget it. In some places, getting married only takes a few minutes. Find a church and say you want to get married, and then have a small ceremony."
, as long as the certificate is issued."
"It's too hasty. After all, it is a major event in life," Miao Guifang said.
After speaking, he looked at his grandson-in-law and said: "Forget it, let the young people take care of their own business."
After listening to the old lady's words, Melika smiled and said: "It's okay. If you are curious, just let my aunt and uncle talk about it. I don't care about this."
The old lady was afraid that her grandson-in-law would think too much, and Melika was also worried that the old lady would be careful in what she said.
The adults were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard movement behind them. They all turned their heads and found Xiaoxiao walking downstairs in a daze.
The little guy was only wearing a pair of underpants, and it looked like he hadn't fully woken up yet. He squinted his eyes and stretched out his hands to scratch his belly. The little baby's heart was not big at first, but now his whole white belly was exposed after being scratched by him.
came out.
Next to the little guy are the monkey Edamame and the mountain lion Mozhi. The two guys have obviously had enough sleep and are very energetic.
Seeing the little guy walking down the stairs like this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and the whole room became quiet.
The child went downstairs, glanced at everyone, and then went directly to grandma Li Xiumei's place.
When she reached Li Xiumei's chair, she lay directly on her grandma's lap and called out, "Grandma."
After shouting, he put his face on grandma's lap and closed his eyes.
"Look at this little appearance. You haven't woken up yet?"
Gu Ying, who was standing next to him, looked at the cute appearance of the little guy and suddenly felt helpless. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the child's back, while asking Li Xiumei in a low voice.
Li Xiumei nodded and said in a low voice: "I was crazy for so long yesterday. Why did I get up so early today? I guess I woke up because of us."
"Who made the noise? He must have gotten up to pee. When he noticed something was wrong, he came out to find the adults. Leave him alone. I'll take him to the house."
Zhang Juan stood up at this time, came to her son's side, bent down and reached out to pick up Xiaoxiao.
"Don't move, let me do it." Li Xiumei directly hugged Xiaoxiao and walked towards her house.
He gently put the child on his bed, covered Xiaoxiao with a quilt, and then returned to the dining table to eat.
After Xiaoxiao made such a fuss, the topic of conversation turned to the child again.
While chatting like this, we finished breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhang Chi wanted to tidy up but was chased away by his elders, so he had no choice but to leave the house and continue teaching his sister how to ride a horse.
To be honest, Zhang Chi thought that teaching his sister to ride a horse was not difficult at first, but now he remembered that his sister was his own sister, and she was not merciless at all when she dealt with him, so he could not fight back.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Chi heard a heavenly voice.
"Xiao Chi, you don't need to teach me anymore. Melika said you would teach me how to ride a horse. Your riding skills are too low. Don't let me learn to be better when the time comes!"
Zhang Juan and Melika got together at this time. The two women didn't know what they were talking about. They were talking and laughing as if they were friends for many years.
Zhang Chi was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to deal with his sister anymore, so he said: "Well, that's the truth. Melika's riding skills are much better than mine. She must be a better teacher than me."
.
"Then you still need to say, hey, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Juan was just about to feel proud when she saw her younger brother turning around to leave, so she immediately stopped him.
Zhang Chi stood still, turned around and asked, "Didn't Melika teach you how to ride a horse? What else can I do?"
"Why don't I have anything to do without you? You can't prepare anything for us. We are going to... um, ride horses over there." Zhang Juan twisted her waist and stretched out her hand to point behind her back.
Zhang Chi finally understood that the land that his sister chose to ride on was a piece of grass that had not been cut yet. The grass there was relatively tall and long like a grass mat. It was a good place for novices to practice equestrian skills.
Generally speaking, novices practice on sand for the first time, so there is a buffer if they fall, but Zhang Chi does not have such conditions. He is a ranch and not a professional horse farm, and there is no professional venue for novices to practice.
"You have to bring a servant to train a horse. At first glance, I thought you came from Arabia. With a piece of cloth on your head, you are the richest in the world and you have to be cared for all day long," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"Why are you talking so much? Let's cut some fruit and put it in a thermos box for us to take with us." Zhang Juan would not be polite to her younger brother. She had been bossing around her since she was a child. If Zhang Chi hadn't come out to make a living early, Zhang Juan would have been killed by Zhang Chi.
Juanzhi is estimated to be twenty years old.
Merica was enjoying herself. She was a little envious of the way Zhang Chi and Zhang Juan got along with each other. It was different from her family, or it was completely different from their children when they grew up to have ideas.
Zhang Chi didn't think much about it. What emotion could he have? To him, it was just an ordinary thing about being dominated by his sister.
I honestly went back to the house to get some fruit.
Gu Ying watched Zhang Chi tinkering in the refrigerator after he came back, so he asked curiously: "What are you looking for?"
Zhang Chi said: "Cut fruits for sister and Melika. The two queens have to train horses, and I have to do the logistics."
After listening to Zhang Chi's words, Gu Ying burst into laughter. After laughing a few times, she took a big red apple from her nephew's hand and picked up a paring knife to help peel it.
"So is your sister," Li Xiumei complained casually. She continued to work while talking, and it seemed that her eyes were still on the work. Maybe she was just saying this to fool Zhang Chi.
"Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!"
Xiaoxiao was really awake at this time, but his appearance did not change. He was still scratching his belly and standing straight with his bare feet.
"Hey, are you really awake?" As soon as Gu Ying saw Xiaoxiao, he immediately put down the apple in his hand, put the half-peeled apple into his nephew's hand, and ran towards his grandnephew.
Zhang Chi looked at the half-peeled apple in his hand, was stunned for a second or two, and then started peeling it himself.
Zhang Chi finished peeling the apple, and Xiao Xiao had already sat in his uncle's arms.
The little guy sat for a while and then came down. When he woke up, it was completely wishful thinking to want a child to sit in one place peacefully.
"Sister-in-law, you go and take the child to put on his clothes, and I'll make him some food here," Li Xiumei said.
Gu Ying smiled and said, "You'd better take him with you."
Turning to Xiaoxiao, he asked: "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat in the morning?"
"Hamburger!"
Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and said.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiumei immediately said: "It's too troublesome, change...".
"Just hamburgers, I'll make them if you have nothing else to do." Gu Ying responded immediately.
As soon as he heard that there were hamburgers to eat in the morning, Xiaoxiao immediately became happy and followed his grandmother who came over to help him stumble upstairs.
When Miao Guifang saw the child going upstairs, she said to Gu Ying: "It's okay to fool him casually, but serious things will cause a lot of trouble."
The old lady still thought about this place as if she were at home, thinking that it would be too troublesome to make burgers.
Gu Ying said with a smile: "Auntie, it's not troublesome at all. Xiaochi should have some blanks here. Well, there you have it."
While talking, Gu Ying had already seen the bread, took one out and cut it in half from the middle with a knife, then washed the vegetables, cut the tomatoes, fried the beef, etc. That would be easier.
It seemed that he was afraid that the child would not be full, so he directly stacked a double-decker beef and a Big Mac.
While waiting for Xiaoxiao to come down, he saw a Big Mac burger and a drink. He was so happy that he couldn't find his way out and immediately sat down.
"Thank you, uncle, I don't know how to be polite at all," Li Xiumei said.
"Thank you, uncle!"
The little guy's buzzing mouth was full of food.
Gu Ying reached out and wiped Xiaoxiao's head: "It's okay, uncle likes to watch you eat."
The little guy is really good at eating, and he eats very quickly. He grinned as big as he could and bit into a burger. With one mouthful of hamburger and a mouthful of drink, he destroyed a Big Mac in less than five minutes.
Zhang Chi's fruit has just been prepared, and the little guy has finished his meal.
Taking the box containing the fruit, Zhang Chi prepared to go out and deliver the things to his sister and wife.
Unexpectedly, before I reached the door, my mother spoke.
"Bring Xiaoxiao with you."
Um!?
Zhang Chi is a little nervous. It's not that he doesn't like his little nephew, but now he just wants to be quiet. Would it be quiet if he took him with him?
I caught a cold today and I feel very uncomfortable. I really can’t write anymore. Today is just one chapter. I will make up the remaining chapter tomorrow. I’m sorry, everyone.
