Just as the dishes were set, my eldest cousin Guo Hengdi arrived late.

Everyone thought she was not coming.

"I waited for a long time but there was no car, so I walked back. I was really tired." Guo Hengdi saw that everyone was looking at her and hurriedly explained.

"Okay, okay, sit down. It's time for dinner," Uncle Guo spoke up to help his daughter.

Guo Hengdi looked at the two tables of people and saw an empty seat next to her father, so she sat down. It seemed that the food today was good!

Fried sauerkraut with oil residue, tofu with green onions, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices, stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, and a soup I don’t know what it is?

Deng Qingling and her aunt sat at the same table.

"Aqing, try it." Aunt Guo filled a bowl of eel soup and placed it in front of her.

The moment Deng Qingling saw what was in the bowl, her face fell.

With a bitter look on his face, he said, "Aunt, please pick up the meat. I just want to drink some soup."

As he said this, he picked up the meat, held up the bowl, closed his eyes, and gulped down the whole bowl of soup.

It smells so fishy, ​​such a strong earthy smell, makes me want to vomit!

Deng Qingling quickly put down the bowl and ran to the yard to vomit violently.

Everyone in the room could hear her vomiting.

Liang Xueying heard the voice but didn't see her daughter-in-law, so she knew it was her. She took a bowl of water out and saw that she looked in pain, and she felt very distressed.

"Come rinse your mouth. How are you now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? If you don't want to eat, don't force yourself, okay?"

"Well, I'm fine." Deng Qingling took the bowl and quickly rinsed her mouth.

"That's good, sit back and eat."

Aunt Guo felt embarrassed to see her niece-in-law like this. It was she who persuaded her to drink the soup, and she never expected her to react so strongly.

"Are you okay? It's all my fault. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Don't be embarrassed to tell me. Auntie won't blame you."

Deng Qingling: "I'm fine. My aunt meant well. It was my own overreaction."

"This sour vegetable is good for your appetite," said Aunt Guo, giving her a few slices of pickled cabbage.

"Hmm." Deng Qingling ate and wanted to eat more, so she picked up more and more.

"Like sour food? It must be a son." Guo Jiaojiao said when she saw that she only picked up pickled vegetables.

"But don't eat too much pickled cabbage. It's bad for your health and your children."

She also talked a lot about her experiences and precautions during pregnancy.

Guo Jiaojiao explained in detail what not to eat, what not to touch, and what to pay attention to.

Deng Qingling looked very serious, just like a student listening to the teacher's assignment, who only needed a pen and a notebook.

She felt that since it was already here, she should make the best of it and be responsible for herself and her children. The most important thing was to keep her health in good condition so that both adults and children would suffer less.

Soon, the food on the two tables was gradually eaten up amid everyone's laughter and chatter. It could be said that it was a "Clean Plate Campaign" and everyone ate until their stomachs were full and stuffed.

Some people cleared the table, some washed the dishes, and some swept the yard.

Move a table to the yard, make a pot of tea and chat, telling each other about their family affairs, the harvest in the fields, their children's marriages and work, etc.

The sun sets in the west.

All good things must come to an end, and everyone goes home.

It's almost the end of the month.

At the entrance of the village, an ox cart came slowly, with several young men and women on it. The cart stopped and quickly drove towards the village.

In the end, Guo Jianping was left alone, with things hanging all over his body and hands.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, Guo Jianping saw the woman squatting by the well washing clothes in the yard.

"Mom, I'm back."

After saying that, he walked into the main room, put down his things, then walked to his mother's side and washed clothes with her, and they finished quickly.
