91-93
Dressed as a farmer
Chapter 91
In the early morning of August, there was a slight coolness in the air.
The sun rises in the east and shyly reveals half of his round head. At this moment, there is still no heat.
The breeze blows slowly, refreshing and comfortable.
Liu Guixiang, Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuanqiu returned from the foot of the mountain with four little children.
The shop on South Street is closed today, and so is the stall at home.
After breakfast, we took the four little kids for a walk outside while the sun wasn't shining. The farming was busy last month, so I didn't pay much attention to them.
Father Chen was sitting under the eaves, repairing his bamboo basket, listening to the children's tender little sounds, and looked up: "I'm back, the chirping is really lively."
"I haven't been outside to play in a few days, and I just let go. It's really annoying. I can't hold on." Liu Guixiang let go of her daughter's hand and breathed slightly: "We are finally home."
"Brother Ping is not awake yet?" Chen Yuchun let go of his eldest son and his younger son and let them play.
"Nothing." Father Chen shook his head: "I just took a look, I slept soundly, everything is fine."
Brother Cao, who was held in Chen Yuanqiu's arms, pointed to the house in front of him: "Dad. "I twisted my little body and wanted to go to the ground.
"Your father is sleeping, so you can't disturb him."
"I know!"
"Really know?"
Brother Cao'er nodded, with a serious look on his face: "My father is sleeping, so don't make any noise."
"That's right. "Chen Yuanqiu kissed Brother Cao's tender little face and put him on the ground.
"Dad, where did Ninth Brother go?"
Father Chen thought for a while: "I didn't hear what he said. He should be back soon."
"Oh." Chen Yuanqiu was a little tired.
He was also thinking that it would be rare to take a day off and go to the mountains.
Shen Le rode his donkey leisurely up the slope. Looking forward, he could vaguely see the Chen family's old house.
Inexplicable joy welled up in his heart, and a bright smile couldn't help appearing on his face.
The donkey didn't know the owner's excitement, and still walked leisurely.
The closer he got to the old house, the brighter the smile on Shen Le's face became.
When he could hear the children's chatter, he saw Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, Sister-in-law Chen, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Yuanqiu.
"Youngest brother!"
The second uncle came to his lips. After he said it, he realized that he had turned into the youngest one.
Chen Le was so frightened that he shivered hard in broad daylight and quickly added: "Second uncle! Brother Chen! Second sister-in-law Chen!" The words were louder than the last.
"It's Brother Le." Listening to this cheerful voice, Father Chen smiled thickly at the corner of his eyes and eyebrows. He didn't even bother to repair the bamboo basket, got up and went to the stove, made a bowl of hot tea and came out: " Brother Le hasn't been here for a while, and he seems to be more energetic."
Shen Le quickly turned over from the donkey and said, "I haven't seen my second uncle for a while, and my second uncle is getting more and more excited." He put the hand in his hand. The meat, fish and cakes were handed over, and he said with a smile, "Second uncle, I'll help you with the meal."
"It's fine if you come, there's no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Cui Yuanjiu came back.
Brother Cao'er, who was playing with his brothers and sisters, saw him coming back and rushed over with his little arms and legs shaking, his eyes sparkling and his little white teeth exposed.
Cui Yuanjiu squatted down, opened his hands and waited.
Brother Cao'er threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck, and called out in a low voice: "Father."
This child really understood what the adults said to him, and he couldn't call out "Father" loudly outside.
"You're so delicate!" Chen Yuanqiu muttered, his eyes excited: "Brother Ninth, if you have time today, how about we go to the mountains to play?"
"Humph!"
It was Brother Cao who hugged his father's neck. , turned his little face towards Uncle Yao, and let out a cool snort.
His expression has a hint of old man Chen's charm.
Chen Yuanqiu was stunned.
Father Chen burst out laughing: "Brother Cao, when did you learn this? It means that your father is not here. If he were here, I don't know how happy he would be."
His good grandson is too funny . .
"Young man, you want to go to the mountains?" Shen Le asked enthusiastically, "I'll go with you. It's been a long time since I've been to the mountains, and my muscles and bones are feeling relaxed."
Chen Yuanqiu knew that, and Brother Le also knew some tricks: " Brother Jiu, are you going? If you don't want to go, Brother Le and I will take Ah Hui and Ah Hei with us."
"You two, please take it easy." Liu Guixiang, who was happy enough, reminded: "Going into the mountains is no joke."
Chen Yuchun also said: "You can hang around outside."
"Want to play in the mountains?" Chen Yuping had just left. In the house, I heard two sentences and asked casually.
I slept a little too much and my head felt dizzy.
"Dad."
Chen Yuping smiled at his precious son: "Well, good boy."
"Hurry up and wash your face and rinse your mouth. I'll heat breakfast for you on the small stove." Chen Yuping urged, got up and went to the stove room again, and paid for it. I washed my face with half a basin of warm water. Seeing that no one had come over yet, I raised my voice and shouted: "Brother Ping, rinse your mouth and wash your face. You haven't eaten for almost a day, so you can't delay any longer."
"Come on, come on." Chen Yuping said to him. Everyone smiled and trotted into the kitchen house.
Cui Yuanjiu put Brother Cao on the ground: "If we want to go to the mountains to play, let's go deep into the mountains and not come back at noon."
"I have no problem." Chen Yuanqiu patted his chest.
Shen Le continued: "I have no problem."
"Really want to go into the mountains?" Father Chen asked: "If you want to go, I will bake some pancakes for you, fill the pot with water, and bring barbecue powder, oil and salt Wait."
Chen Yuchun rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dad, let me help you."
"Okay, let's go to the mountains." "Okay, I'll make
some pancakes for you."
Chen Yuanqiu gave a thumbs up: "You guys are really energetic."
"Young!" Chen Yuanqiu puffed out his chest: "You are in great shape!"
Cui Yuanjiu silently bent his arms, easily revealing his bulging muscles.
The proud Chen Yuanqiu wilted instantly.
"I have one too." Shen Le rolled up his sleeves, held back his breath, and finally saw a thin layer of muscles. He shouted to Chen Yuanqiu: "See, it feels pretty good. Do you want to touch it?"
Chen Yuanqiu really did . He stretched out his hand and touched it: "How did you practice it?"
"This is not difficult, I will teach you later." Shen Le patted his shoulder, affirming.
"Okay. When will we teach?" "
We will start teaching tomorrow."
"Okay, it's a deal."
The two shook hands like good brothers.
Chen Yuping watched from the side with a speechless expression.
He was a little confused. Is this considered enlightenment or not?
The most important point is, have these two people forgotten something? The store will open tomorrow, and one will be the shopkeeper and the other will guard the store. Where will the time come from?
Yes, if they want to get together, the two of them can always find a way, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
It was about half past Chen hour, Cui Yuanjiu and the others carried a bag of bamboo shoots on their backs and strode towards the mountains.
Chen Yuping, who had just finished breakfast, moved a wicker chair and placed it in the corner, feeling weak and paralyzed.
"Do you feel bad?" Chen Yuchun rarely saw his third brother so lethargic, so he was a little worried: "How about going to Shen's house and letting Dr. Shen take a look?"
Father Chen, who was cleaning up the stove in the kitchen, heard these words and continued: "Brother Ping, it's better to go to the Shen family house. Your body and bones can't stand the torment. Who would have thought that so many people would come yesterday, one after another endlessly. Let me see what happens at home in the future. , it's better to hire the cook directly, but I can't let you take charge anymore."
"The old man in the village said that he had never seen anything like this in his life. Fortunately, the village chief came to help in time, and the Shen family helped. Otherwise, there will really be trouble." Liu Guixiang was still frightened: "I'm completely confused."
"Don't talk about you, I was also panicked." Dad Chen came out of the stove room: "By the way, I collected it yesterday. There is no time to sort out the gifts, money or gifts. They are all locked up in the Sanheyuan. Don't be busy today. Let me see, you can take another day off tomorrow to recuperate and clean up yesterday's gifts. Please be clear, these favors cannot be messed up. You must clearly remember that when someone holds a wedding banquet, you have to return it. If you haven't been around, just return the favor. If there is no contact in the future, it will be broken. If When you get married, you will be given gifts, so you have to remember them twice. This is a favor in your hands. You have to sort it out yourself. Only by going through it carefully can you have an impression. Of course, you should also write it down in your notebook. "
Chen Yuping was lazy . He groaned complacently. He couldn't muster any energy and was feeling lazy and tired.
"I think you should go to Shen's house." Father Chen felt uneasy: "I'll hitch a bullock cart and take you there."
"Dad, I'm fine, I'm just overtired, just take it easy for three or two days. " "
How could Father Chen sit still?" He said, "My face is pale and I don't have any complexion, and I still say that I'm fine. I won't have much to do today. It won't take much effort for me to take you there. You have such a weak body, so you should take care of yourself." , we are about to get married." As he spoke, he murmured: "I have to let Dr. Shen take care of you. If you get pregnant later, you will suffer less. Your elder brother is in good health when he is pregnant. Satisfied, very relaxed, as if nothing had happened. When An Ge'er arrived, because he didn't take care of himself in the front, he had a very difficult pregnancy, but he had to worry about a lot of things at home..." It's all Chen. It's an old story, and now the eldest son and his wife are getting better and better, and there's no point in saying more: "I'll drive the bullock cart over."
They follow each other everywhere.
Chen Yuping was quite dumbfounded.
Having a baby? How could it be possible? He touched his eyebrows by accident.
The pregnancy mole on his eyebrow is lighter in color than the pregnancy mole on Brother Cao's eyebrow. Can he really be pregnant with a child?
He shivered thinking about it, it couldn't be possible.
"Brother Ping."
"Are you really going?"
Father Chen frowned: "The bullock carts have arrived in front of the house, do you want to go or not?"
"Okay. Listen to my father, what he says will be whatever he says." Chen Yuping held on to the wall, slowly stood up, and walked towards the bullock cart with swaying steps.
Brother Cao, who was playing with his brothers and sisters, saw this and ran over: "Daddy, grandpa."
"Brother Cao, grandpa and dad have something to do when they go out. You stay at home with your brothers and sisters. Let's play." Father Chen coaxed softly.
Brother Cao'er glanced at his father, obviously unwilling. He ran up to his father, stretched out his fat little hand and grasped his index finger.
"My dear boy, you want to go too?"
Chen Yuping squatted down, looked at his precious son, and asked warmly.
"I want to go." A soft little voice said.
"Dad." Chen Yuping turned around and shouted: "Take Brother Cao with you."
Brother Cao seemed to understand what his father said. He twisted his little head and looked at Father Chen eagerly: "Master, I want to go."
"Go, go, go if you want." Of course, there was nothing Mr. Chen could do. He carried Brother Cao and put him on the ox cart: "Hurry, let's go and come back early.
" The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me except that he was very tired, so he gave me a few pills to take two at a time after meals.
As for recuperating the body, Chen Yuping's body bones are indeed somewhat damaged, but the problem is not a big one. He is still young and has not had children, so recuperation is relatively simple.
Should I grab the medicine and drink it now, or come back later.
"He is getting married at the end of the month. I thought that if I nurse him back to health before getting married, I would feel more relaxed when I actually get pregnant. Is that true?" I have seen what my eldest brother, An, suffered when he was pregnant. Damn it, Father Chen doesn't want his third son to follow the same path as his eldest brother.
Dr. Shen nodded: "It is indeed easier. In this case, you will not be able to conceive for at least half a year."
"That's no problem." Father Chen glanced at the pregnancy mole between his third son's eyebrows. The color was too light. How big is it? You are lucky enough to get pregnant as soon as you get married.
Take six pills first. Dr. Shen gave detailed instructions on some dietary taboos. He also said that you can only drink these six pills after you have finished eating the pills you just gave. Remember, you have to come when the pills are gone. You can't stop in between. All day long. no.
Father Chen remembered it seriously and nodded.
Chen Yuping... Chen Yuping looked helpless.
Yes, if dad wants to do anything, let him do it. It is always for his own good.
He could clearly feel that his body bones were a little weak. It was a happy thing to be able to recover. Who doesn't want to have a healthy body? Life is so easy now. It is impossible to live for another five hundred years. He will live to be eighty-eight or ninety-nine. You should be able to think about it.
Doctor Shen's medical skills are quite good.
After taking the pills twice during the day, Chen Yuping clearly felt much better before going to bed at night.
To be honest, he was relieved.
It has been closed for two days. If it closes again tomorrow, what should I say? When opening a store and doing business, you can't be too willful.
Fortunately, Dr. Shen's pills are very powerful. Not only will I feel energetic when I wake up tomorrow, I should be able to go to the store and work all morning.
Cui Yuanjiu felt sorry for his eldest baby, even though he agreed to open a store for business today.
But the amount of ingredients was reduced by one-third.
Don't underestimate one-third, you can save more than an hour.
It was only halfway through, and the trivial things in the kitchen were sorted out.
"Let's go home?" Chen Yuping, who was in a good mood, hummed a little tune.
"Go home. This is the amount of food sold in the store these days. Then I will carefully sort through the money and things piled up in Sanheyuan and write down something in my book."
Chen Yuping responded with a smile: "Okay! It's up to you."
After sorting out the chores in the Sanheyuan, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye.
Chen Yuping has finished the six doses of medicine for the first time, and there are still two days left for the six doses of medicine for the second time. After that, he does not need to drink medicine. He makes some pills, three times a day, six pills at a time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the second half of the year is about getting married.
Compared with a banquet, getting married is not the same thing at all. Even if a man and his brother get married, there is no talk of getting married, and the trivial matters are relatively complicated.
Everyone in the Chen family has a tacit understanding, and Chen Yuping doesn't have to worry about big or small things. That is to say, it was related to him, so I asked for his opinion and discussed with him to make a decision.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chen family did not pay attention to anything.
We must hurry up and focus on Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu's marriage in the second half of the year.
The Chen family doesn't pay much attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Tiechui, who is far away in Fucheng, has started to prepare festive gifts early at the beginning of the month.
He has three masters, and they always give them gifts during the holidays to show their appreciation.
Compared with the second master and the second master, Wang Tiechui knew very well that the young master treated him the most caringly and was the only master who truly treated him as his apprentice. Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival he decided to personally deliver the festival gifts to Kuzhu Village.
He had mentioned this matter to the Shaodong family a long time ago and got their permission.
When Wang Tiechui drove an ox cart to the door of Chen's house, it was just past midnight and the Chen family was having dinner.
Seeing him coming, everyone was a little confused.
It was as full as an oxcart's worth of goods. No wonder two oxen were used to pull the cart.
"Master, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my apprentice is here to pay you a happy birthday." Wang Tiechui grinned innocently.
Chen Yuping didn't know what to say: "As long as you come, the contents of this ox cart are too exaggerated. Did you come from Fucheng?"
"Yes. Shopkeeper Liu told me, Master, you want to go there later this month I have made an agreement with my young master to return to Fucheng after the master gets married." Wang Tiechui was a little shy and said, "Master, how about I come and serve you on the day of your wedding?"
Everyone in the Chen family was worried about this.
It was originally agreed upon to hire a chef from the Shen family, but after all, it had not been decided yet.
"Okay!" Compared to hiring a chef from the Shen family, Chen Yuping would naturally prefer to let his apprentice take charge.
The young apprentice looked thick and strong, but he was quite talented at cooking, and he was three points better than the Shen family's cooks.
Father Chen smiled and said: "Don't just talk, Hammer, come here and wash your face. Sit down and have a meal first. If you have anything else, let's talk about it after you eat."
He had also washed his face and prepared the dishes and chopsticks. Put it on the table.
"Sorry for bothering you, uncle." Wang Tiechui thanked him solemnly, washed his face, and sat down at the dining table.
"Should you drink the soup or eat first? Since you called Brother Ping, master, and he recognizes you as his apprentice, we are a family. There is no need to be polite, just be casual and comfortable, just like at home." Father Chen He spoke in a gentle voice, full of harmony.
Wang Tiechui smiled naively, and responded with a smile, feeling warm in his heart.
He had stayed at Chen's house for a few days, and he felt very comfortable staying at Chen's house. He liked it here, and he also liked the little master. The little master was different from the people he saw outside. He couldn't tell what was different, it was just not the same. Same.
The old house was full of people, so Chen Yuping arranged his apprentice to live in the Sanheyuan.
We haven't moved into the Sanheyuan yet, but the Sanheyuan is very neat and tidy. The furniture, beds, and trivial details in the room are all in good order. We are waiting for the family of three to move in after they get married.
Wang Tiechui brought a cart full of items, some of which were Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, some of which were his own, and some of which he saw in Fucheng and liked and bought specially to honor the little master. Here, Brother Cao My son also got a lot of rare things.
Finally, he took out a ledger and some banknotes.
Chen Yuping was shocked: "So much money?"
"There is more than one shop, and all the shops under the name of Shaodong's family are selling noodles. It's just too easy, and it didn't take long for others to learn it. Although the red noodles are made The spicy oil, pepper noodles, and sesame sauce are not as good as the ones I made, but they still took away some business." Wang Tiechui said in a dull voice, feeling sorry for the little master.
"It's already very good!" Chen Yuping patted him on the shoulder: "With so many dividends, it's a little hot for me to hold."
"This is what the master deserves." Wang Tiechui said very seriously, fearing that the little master would not be willing to accept it, so he said After finishing speaking, he ran away.
Chapter 92
Two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it started to rain.
The drizzle of rain fell endlessly, as if to make up for the lack of a drop of rain during the entire busy farming season.
August twenty-four.
It was overcast in the morning, and when we had breakfast, it started to rain again.
Father Chen frowned and glanced out the window, and whispered: "It's raining again."
"It's raining, too." There hasn't been any rain all summer, and the fields have been very dry. Now that the crops have just been planted, it will rain a few more times. Rain is a good thing. Old man Chen was quite happy: "It has to be like this thin and dense drizzle, soaking the fields little by little and nourishing the crops."
"It's twenty-two today!" Old Chen said in a long voice.
Liu Guixiang smiled: "The days go by so fast." She knew what her father was worried about.
"It's only twenty-two, it's still early." Chen Yuping smiled and reassured: "It's been raining for several days, so I guess I should take a few days off."
Father Chen immediately became happy: "You said It depends on whether God will appreciate it or not.
On the twenty-sixth day, Dad even went to the temple to ask specifically. He asked me three times, and everything went smoothly
. ."
Just thinking about the crops, Old Man Chen really didn't think about the fact that his third son was about to get married.
Rainy days are good for crops.
But if it's a wedding and a whole banquet, it's God's fault.
Old man Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the foggy sky outside: It won't rain tomorrow. The sun will shine for a few days to dry the ground. When the third son gets married, the happy day will be more lively. Well, starting from tomorrow it will be sunny and it won't rain anymore.
After breakfast, it's time to go to the fields and get busy.
Father Chen packed up the stove, took a broom and carefully cleaned the house, moving boxes and cabinets without missing any blind spots, sweeping bit by bit.
This thing seems easy, but it is actually very laborious.
Thinking that his third son was going to get married on the 26th, he felt happy and wished that the house would be bright and bright inside and outside.
It was a good thing that there was no sunshine on this day. Otherwise, he would have thought about wiping the tables, chairs, and cabinets. After wiping them, he would put them in the sun. At the moment, he could only use a clean cloth to wipe away the ashes.
Chen Yuping came from the Sanheyuan with an oil-paper umbrella. When he stood under the eaves to close the umbrella, he saw his father struggling to move the cabinet from the corner of his eye: "Dad, what are you doing?" He immediately put the umbrella in the corner, strode into the house, and set up He helped move the cabinet away with his hands: "This cabinet is not light."
"I have nothing to do. I'll clean it. I haven't done it in several years. It's full of dust and spider webs." "
You should take it easy on your own."
Father Chen He changed to a clean broom, stepped on the small stool, raised his head and raised his hands, sweeping the back of the cabinet: "You stay away."
"Dad, I'll come, I'll come, you come down, you take care of the floor, I'll sweep this place Above." Chen Yuping was worried.
"The children are all in Sanheyuan. Why are you delaying me?"
"The hammer is here, I will let him look after the children."
Father Chen smiled: "This child is very honest." He gave the broom in his hand to San Son: "Step on the stool more firmly. You can't rush this, you have to take your time. We only have a few rooms, and I have cleaned two of them."
"You are really good at it!" Chen Yuping gave a thumbs up.
We are about to get married, and there are too many things to do, which are complicated and cumbersome.
Today is the 22nd, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu have discussed temporarily closing the business for a few days. As for how many days the business will be closed, it is not certain. We will wait until they get married.
The patrons in the store knew about this happy event, and they all asked if they could have a meal on the day of the wedding to celebrate.
Naturally, a warm welcome!
Getting married is inherently a lively event. The more people there are, the more lively and festive it becomes.
Getting married happens once in a lifetime.
When they learned that the store was closed because they were busy arranging marriage arrangements, everyone was very enthusiastic and told them what they could do to help. If there was any need, just ask.
I didn't bother asking when I would open the store after a few days off, etc.
In private, Chen Yuping exclaimed to Cui Yuanjiu with a smile on his face: The regular customers in the store are all lovely people.
August 23rd, it was overcast and the sky was dark, as if it was going to rain at any time.
As a result, it was quiet all day long, with the autumn wind blowing slowly and bringing a slight coolness.
Everyone in the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief. It was going to be sunny today.
That's great.
August 24th, sunny.
At about midnight, the sun rose from the east, revealing a shy half-round head.
On this day, the shop on South Street and the food stall at home were also closed.
A large family of more than a dozen people crowded into the small kitchen room, sitting or standing, eating breakfast while talking and laughing.
Breakfast is braised noodles.
There is a large basin of fragrant braised pork, so you can put as much as you want.
The noodles are shaved noodles and taste particularly chewy.
If it's not enough, there is still dough in the clay pot, so it will be very easy to make the next bowl of noodles.
"The sun is out!" Old Chen looked outside the house and smiled cheerfully: "The sun has been out for two days, and the soaked ground has dried up, so it will be easier for me to hold a banquet later."
Chen Yuanqiu took two sips of soup and noodles, The braised pork is thinly sliced ââand stewed to be particularly delicious. The noodles are thick and chewy. When chewed in your mouth, the more you chew, the more fragrant you eat. It is fresh, refreshing, spicy, and exciting! "It's been raining these days, it's about time the sun comes out."
"Are you really planning to go into the mountains?" After worrying for several days, God finally showed his favor, and Father Chen lost his mind and began to worry about other things. of triviality.
Cui Yuanjiu wanted to go into the mountains yesterday, but the weather was cloudy or sunny, so he was restrained and refused to let him go.
The sun came out today, and he couldn't sit still. He had to go to the mountains.
It happened that Shen Le and Chen Yuanqiu were both free. When they heard that they were going into the mountains, they jumped up to three feet high with joy and even shouted that they wanted to go together.
Chen Yuping looked at it openly: "It's not like you just go back into the mountains. Just go if you want." He believed that Yuan Jiu, who was about to get married, would never make any mistakes at this juncture.
"Let Yuan Dongzhi go with them both, and everything will be smoothed out." Old man Chen still wanted to go, but he thought that he would not join in the fun as he was getting older: "Be smart, everyone. Just listen to what Yuan Jiu says."
Zhang Zhiwei, who was eating with gusto, looked up when his father-in-law called his name, and nodded immediately: "I understand."
In the Chen family, he said. The most spoken words are these four words.
Regardless of whether you understand it or not, just respond first and then talk.
He has quite an attitude!
Going deep into the mountains would take a whole day no matter what.
As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put down, Father Chen and his son Chen Yuping rolled up their sleeves and prepared dry food.
Liu Guixiang and Chen Yuchun cleaned the stove.
Old Chen and Wang Tiechui looked at the children. As for Cui Yuanjiu and the others, they gathered the things they needed to go into the mountain.
In a moment, everything is ready.
Facing the golden morning sun and the refreshing autumn wind, carrying Ah Hui and Ah Hei, several people strode towards the mountains with their heads held high.
Going early in the morning and returning in the evening was fruitful.
There were eleven pheasants and rabbits in total, two nests of eggs, two wild goats, a silly roe deer, a large pile of mushrooms, wild vegetables and fruits, and several bundles of firewood. Solid wood from dead branches, very resistant to burning.
Cui Yuanjiu originally thought that he would be able to catch two wild boars on this trip to the mountains, so that he could have wild boars to eat on the wedding day, which would also add a bit of dignity and excitement to the happy event.
Unfortunately, what he had in mind was pretty good, but he was far less lucky than last time.
Although it was bad luck, we caught a lot of other game, which can be called a bumper harvest, which made others envious, especially the two wild goats, which were extremely rare.
"I want to go into the mountains again tomorrow."
Chen Yuping glanced at him: "Tomorrow is the 25th, and you still want to run into the mountains?"
"I'll just go and have a look." Cui Yuanjiu refused to give up: "I found traces of wild boars. , Just come back before evening. If you don't get anything, come back before noon."
"Okay."
Cui Yuanjiu still thought about going into the mountain. Neither Father Chen nor Old Man Chen agreed, but the third son nodded, and Cui Yuanjiu was determined. They wanted to take a look, but they had no choice but to agree.
The people are still the same as yesterday, two brothers, Chen Yuandong, Chen Yuanqiu, Zhang Zhiwei and Shen Le, five of them together.
Thinking of getting back before noon, it took half an hour to enter the mountain earlier than yesterday.
The sky was bright and the sun had not yet risen. When the sun rose above the head, the strong fragrance of food wafted from the village. The Chen family pushed lunch back and forth, waiting for the people who went into the mountain to return. Until the end of noon, no one came back. .
Father Chen babbled: "They shouldn't be allowed to go into the mountains. It's already twenty-five today, and tomorrow is the big day. If you don't stay busy with trivial matters at home, go into the mountains to catch wild boars. It's already this hour, He didn't come back."
"Maybe he caught the wild boar." Chen Yuping replied with a smile: "Yuan Jiu said when he left, if he found any trace of the wild boar, he would come back later."
"You can't say that you will catch the wild boar . I can catch him..." Father Chen muttered, then shook his head and walked out: "It's up to you to be generous." "
Dad, where are you going?"
"Let's go to your uncle's house for a walk."
: "Isn't it too early to go to my uncle's house now? If you don't come back in the evening, it's not too late to go." After a pause, he added: "There are many people going back now, and they will definitely be back before evening."
"I don't have time to spare. I'm going to talk to your aunt about the trivial matters of Ming's wedding banquet. There are many people coming and the scene is big, so nothing can go wrong."
"Oh." Chen Yuping smiled sarcastically.
Father Chen looked at the embarrassment on his third son's face, snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.
The sun was about to set, and old man Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He thought of gathering people to go to the mountains while the weather was good. It would be much easier to find people.
Chen Yuping couldn't help his father's heart. Seeing him walking out, he had to follow step by step, turning his head from time to time to look towards the foot of the mountain.
It's time to come back. Why haven't you come back yet? Something really went wrong, right?
Unknowingly, my mood was affected, and I became worried about gains and losses, and my heart was restless.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Three loud barks sounded from a distance, and the sound got closer.
Chen Yuping's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was a little excited: "Father, it's Ah Hei's voice, they are back!"
As he spoke, he saw Chen Yuanqiu running towards him: "Third brother, Dad, caught the wild boar There are two very big wild boars, please call uncle and the others to help."
After shouting at the top of his lungs, he saw him turning and running towards the foot of the mountain, followed by Ah Hei who was also spinning. Get out of body.
"I'm going to ask someone to come into the mountain to help." Old man Chen was stunned for a moment, laughed, and rushed towards his elder brother's house like the wind was blowing under his feet.
Chen Yuping couldn't stay still, said something to Zaowu and his father, and hurried to the mountains.
We actually caught a wild boar.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyebrows had a deep smile.
Chapter 93
The silvery white moonlight spread, and the stars filled the entire night sky, twinkling and emitting a faint soft light.
It's late at night, the village is sleeping, but there are still sounds from the mountains, forests, farmlands and grass, ringing from time to time.
Tossing and turning, Cui Yuanjiu tried hard for a long time but failed to fall asleep.
He gave up sleeping.
He lifted off the thin quilt, took a coat and put it on, and strode out of the house.
He came to the door of the next door, stood quietly for a while, and finally reached out his hand and pushed the door carefully.
Pushing the door at night.
Naturally, this door cannot be pushed open.
It's bolted inside.
Cui Yuanjiuo retracted his hand in annoyance.
I feel a little stupid.
There was quite a bit of shame in his head.
Turn around and prepare to go back to the house to continue fighting against insomnia.
Sleep, you must sleep! Tomorrow is his big day, and he must be energetic and radiant.
"Cui Yuanjiu."
The voice floated out from the room, thin and soft, like a whisper in the ear.
"It's me!" He was ecstatic: "You can't sleep either?"
It turned out that they were in the same mood. The door creaked slightly
. Chen Yuping, wearing a thin shirt, walked out of the room. Cui Yuanjiu: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." He looked up at the night sky and then at the people next to him. "Yes. The stars are also very good." Chen Yuping leaned against the door frame, half of his body in the moonlight and half in the darkness. The moonlight was charming, Cui Yuanjiu felt, and Chen Yuping in the night was even more charming. He couldn't hold back his gaze, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to see. But I felt it was inappropriate and too rude. "You, you can't sleep either?" By speaking, he leaned his body against the wall without leaving a trace. In his sight, Chen Yuping's face could not be seen, only the hem of his clothes could be seen, and the hem of his clothes swayed gently in the night wind, just like his heart. Shake and shake, shake and shake. "I can't sleep a little bit." "The sun will be very good tomorrow." Chen Yuping smiled: "My father prayed for a good day in the temple, so he was looking forward to good weather. The sun will shine brightly tomorrow, and he will be happy. " What about you ?" "Are you happy?" Cui Yuanjiu asked, and then he said, "I'm so happy that I couldn't sleep." After hearing this, Chen Yuping leaned out. He looked sideways at Cui Yuanjiu, who was leaning against the wall: "I'm very happy too, but I can't sleep a little." His eyebrows were crooked, and his smile looked particularly moving in the moonlight. It also particularly moved Cui Yuanjiu. Then none of them spoke. One was leaning against the doorframe, the other against the wall. Just quietly admiring the stars and the bright moon in the sky. Cui Yuanjiu said: "We will get married tomorrow." "Yes. It's once in a lifetime." Chen Yuping said: "A little excited." The moon is a familiar moon. He came from modern times and went back in time. The moon is still sixteen round, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. He is getting married. It was as if roots were growing under his feet and birds were building nests. After tomorrow, he would have his own little home. My mood is a bit complicated, I can't tell whether I am more happy or confused. "Only once in a lifetime." Cui Yuanjiu nodded and agreed. After a while, he suddenly shouted: "Brother Ping." Chen Yuping looked at him. "You will be more important than my life. I have nothing but one life. You are more important than my life." His attitude was serious, his tone was solemn, and there was a hint of piety in his hot eyes. "Okay. I understand." Chen Yuping responded with a smile, his brows gentle and soft: "Can you go back to the house and sleep peacefully? Tomorrow is our big day, you can't worship me with dark circles under your eyes, right? This is only once in a lifetime." He smiled with teasing in his words. The restless heart calmed down little by little. Cui Yuanjiu had a lot to say, but felt that he didn't need to say anything more. He nodded: "I will go back to the house to sleep, and you will sleep too. You go first, and I will close the door for you." "I can close the door just by taking it . Get off the hook." Chen Yuping teased him: "Is it possible that you still want to sleep in the same bed with me tonight?" "No." Cui Yuanjiu quickly replied: "I really don't think so, I just can't sleep and want to talk to you. " What now?" "I'm going back to the house to sleep." Cui Yuanjiu said, turning around neatly and returning to his room in a few steps. Under the moonlight, Chen Yuping's eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a little smile. August 26, sunny. The whole Chen family started to get busy at dawn. Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen's family also sent out their entire families. Even so, there was still not enough manpower. Then there are the close neighbors, and every household in the village will have someone to help with the work. Getting married is not an easy thing, there are quite a lot of trivial things. Fortunately, there are many Chen family members, and each person is in charge of one place, so there is no panic. "Sister-in-law, the little firewood I have at home is definitely not enough. I have to go to your house and the third brother's house to get some more. I asked two people to bring the firewood over early. After a while, I got busy. There is no firewood in the kitchen and there is no place. Ask someone to help." "Don't worry, remember this, and ask someone to move the firewood after breakfast." "His aunt, I just took a look. Are there only three dishes? There are not enough baskets. " "Also, these three baskets are the dishes and dishes for the entire Chen family. I will have to go to the village to collect three baskets. When I came here, I agreed to let them put away the dishes. Put the dishes away, I will bring the people to the door to get them." " Third brother, do you have enough tables, chairs, and stools?" I deliberately counted them early this morning, and there are two more tables. If I need them later, second brother, please remember to tell me, and I will put out thirty tables later. " " Wife-in-law Yuan Dong, please remember to check the time. , around noon, I put four plates of small fruits on the table. Don't put them on too early. There are too many children in the house today, so I can't take care of them. Be generous and grab a few. No, Brother Ping specially bought more. Also, when guests come, you should greet them well. Fruits, pastries, honey, and sweets should be served quickly. By the way, Wife-in-law Shunzi, you have to keep up with your tea, so don't be slow to wait. Friends and relatives." "Don't worry, Dad." "Okay, second uncle." Dad Chen nodded around and sorted things out.
As for the kitchen, there were many and complicated things, so he wanted to keep an eye on it more.
"That's right! Accounting room!" Father Chen pulled the youngest to the side: "You are in charge of the accounting room and work more carefully. Something went wrong today. It's not a joke."
Chen Yuanqiu replied seriously . Sentence: "Don't worry, Dad, I was in charge of the accounting room a while ago. I'm very familiar with it."
"I'm afraid you'll have your tail up in the sky and act like a fool." Father Chen was worried: "Brother Le, please pay more attention. He ordered."
"Uncle Chen, I must keep Yuan Qiu under my guard."
After all, there are some differences between brother and a man.
Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu changed into red groom's clothes early, and with smiles on their faces they entertained waves of relatives and friends who came to congratulate and drink the wedding wine.
This is their most important task today.
At half past noon, all thirty tables were filled.
The kitchen begins to serve food.
Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu took Brother Cao'er to the table and toasted with wine.
After toasting and eating a few bites of food, when someone comes, I have to get up to greet them.
Finished one round.
The helpers quickly harvested the bowls and chopsticks, rearranged the wine table, and placed four plates of small fruit, water, and wine.
When the table was filled with nine people, the food began to be served.
From the beginning of the banquet, the kitchen has been busy.
Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu have also been busy. Even if there are no guests coming over yet, if there are people who want to leave after the banquet, they have to get up and see them off.
I was busy until dusk, when the golden crow fell from the west.
The two of them had just a moment to rest, to calm down and relax before they started worshiping.
Worship ancestors at noon and worship in the evening.
When a brother marries a man, there is no such thing as marriage or marriage.
They are all the bridegroom and officials, first bowing to heaven and earth, second bowing to the high hall, husband and wife bowing to each other before being sent into the bridal chamber.
Once you enter the bridal chamber, you feel truly at ease.
In the quiet room, there was only the groom and no one else.
The two of them were alone, without having to worry about the trivial things outside, and no one would disturb them.
Making trouble in the wedding room or something.
Doesn't exist!
"You look so beautiful today." This sentence echoed in my heart countless times throughout the day, and finally got the chance to say it out. Cui Yuanjiu was a little nervous, with a little unspeakable expectation, and his eyes were bright.
Chen Yuping was also nervous: "You are very handsome today." He smiled brightly, as if nothing was wrong. God knows, his palms were all sweaty. He wiped them on his clothes without leaving any trace, and his whole body was steaming.
"Are you tired?" Cui Yuanjiu glanced outside: "The sun has set."
"Yeah, it's getting dark." Chen Yuping also looked outside.
Cui Yuanjiu opened his mouth, but hesitated. He looked down at Chen Yuping's hands on his lap: "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, are you hungry?"
"I am."
Chen Yuping was stunned for a moment: " Let's go get something to eat. We should be eating outside. What do you want to eat? "
"I want to eat, I want to eat..." Cui Yuanjiu licked his lips and said with burning eyes
. He took her into his arms, fell backwards, and both of them lay on the red quilt: "Can I kiss you?"
After a brief moment of shyness, Chen Yuping calmed down: "What do you think?" Look? Looking at the handsome face close at hand, she could clearly see his nervousness. She suddenly smiled and nudged his nose with her nose: "Today is our wedding. Do you think you can kiss me, my little husband?" "He teased, somehow feeling happy all of a sudden.
Today he is getting married to a man and will spend the rest of his life with him.
My little husband.
Cui Yuanjiu felt numb all over his body and trembled violently. He turned over and pressed the person down, gently biting the corners of his lips: "I'm not young at all." He
said each word slowly and heavily.
The bed tent is like a gauze, soft and thin, swaying lightly.
Just like the hem of clothes blown up by the wind in the middle of the night last night.
Shake and shake, shake and shake.
Like a strong wind blowing, the gauze tent ripples like waves.
The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The night was long and warm.
