The original owner’s family is really nice, and now they are my family too. I have to get along well with them.

At this time, Liang Xueying came in and said that she wanted to take Haohao out to get a haircut. She wrapped the shaved hair in red paper and kept it as a treasure. After shaving his hair, she gave him a bath, changed him into new clothes, and took him back to the house. She asked Deng Qingling to wait and take Haohao to eat together.

Don’t shave your head on the full moon day, but cut your hair on the hundredth day. There are rules for this. If the weather is cold, don’t shave your head, but cut your hair on the hundredth day.

The food outside was ready, and Guo Jianping came in and asked everyone to go out to eat. Deng Qingling carried the baby to the main hall to meet her family, her parents-in-law, and sat at a table, while the others ate in the yard.

Because this was Guo Youxing's first grandson, he secretly bought a lot of meat and said that if he was going to hold a full-moon banquet, he had to make it look good.

The relatives also brought a lot of things, so today's dishes can be said to be not as good as those during the Chinese New Year. As soon as we sat down, delicious dishes were served one after another, including cold sweet potato leaves, tofu with green onions, stewed potatoes with pork belly, braised fish fillets, stir-fried eel, red eggs, and bitter melon and egg soup. There were both meat and vegetables, and the staple foods were bean curd dregs rice cakes and corn and multi-grain rice. There were many dishes and the portions were large, all served in basins and bowls.

Everyone was excited to see such delicious dishes. Except for some meat dishes during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, they usually don’t eat meat. For a moment, everyone was silent and stretched out their chopsticks, and the speed afterimage was left.

Liang Haidi was very satisfied with the dishes, which showed that her in-laws valued their daughter and grandson. She said to Liang Xueying with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this full-month banquet is too grand. Wedding banquets are no more than this."

Liang Xueying said: "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Here are two meat dishes that my sisters brought back. My eldest sister brought the eel, and my second sister brought the fish. I bought some pork belly and ground tofu. I don't have any good dishes to treat you all."

Liang Haidi said: "You are too polite. This dish is already very good. You may not be able to have such good dishes during the Chinese New Year."

Liang Xueying: "It's as you should. Pay more attention to the first child, and be more casual in the future. Everyone, eat quickly. If you can't get the food, please grab it with your hands. Don't be polite." If we continued chatting, the food was almost finished.

At the dinner table, Liang Haidi asked Deng Qingling to dip chopsticks in some vegetable sauce and rice for Haohao to eat, and to dip everything in it. From then on, he could eat everything without any taboos.

After they had almost finished eating, Liang Xueying said she wanted to take Haohao out to show the relatives. She took Haohao out for a walk and then went back to the house. After all, the child was still young and it was not easy for him to stay out for too long.

After dinner, Liang Haidi chatted with Deng Qingling about parenting for a while, and then said that she would go back while it was still early and he would wait for her to come back home tomorrow.

The custom here is to return to the mother's home the day after the full moon.

After the relatives left, Guo Youxing said that he would arrange a table in the evening to invite the team leader Guo Youqing and his sons to dinner to thank them for their previous help.

It was lively again in the evening.

The full moon party was a complete success and both the guests and hosts had a great time.

Everyone was busy all day. Liang Xueying sorted the leftovers and gave some to Big Uncle and Second Uncle to take home.

"Oh, you are so polite. We are all family. It is our duty to help. How can you have the nerve to eat and carry things at the same time?" Erbom said sorry, but he was not polite with his hands.

The leftover dishes from a banquet are all good things. Although they are leftovers, they definitely taste good. They will taste better and more flavorful if reheated.

In this day and age, no one cares about other people's gossip. If you tell others about the leftover dishes from a banquet, they will definitely be rushed to get them. There is so much fat and water, who wouldn't want it?

Generally speaking, the leftover dishes from a banquet will be given to those who come to help. Of course, those who can come to help have good relationships with the people, after all, good things should be kept in mind.

Seeing that Big Bom was still hesitating, the mother-in-law Liang Xueying said, "There are a lot of leftovers. Big sister-in-law, please take some back. Just think of it as helping me eat. We can't eat that much."

The eldest uncle didn't want it at first. After all, the old man was at her house and had already served the food during the day. But the second uncle took it, so she couldn't refuse it.

"Now that you've said that, I can't refuse anymore."

At this time, Deng Qingling was lying on the bed discussing with Guo Jianping about going back to her parents' home tomorrow.

Deng Qingling asked Guo Jianping: "Who are you going to take back tomorrow?"

Guo Jianping said: "Just take Uncle Qing's grandson back with you. We don't have any little girls here."

The custom here is to return to the mother's home the day after the full moon, preferably bringing both a boy and a girl.

"That's fine. It's just a ceremony anyway. I don't know what it means." Deng Qingling was a little confused.

There are many customs in remote areas, and each place has different customs. For example, when a son is born, you have to eat chicken gizzards, and they have to be eaten whole and not cut. Deng Qingling almost vomited after eating them. She has never liked eating animal offal since she was a child.

The next day, Guo Jianping drove a bullock cart to take Deng Qingling and his nephew back to her mother's home.

Soon they arrived at the door of the Deng family. Liang Haidi knew her daughter had returned from the noise and walked out quickly. Everyone in the room behind her came out and said, "Oh, she's finally here. We've been waiting so long. Come on, come in!"

The Deng family welcomed them into the house and saw Guo Jianping holding a basket filled with meat, rice and rock sugar. They complained that they were too polite and that it was a waste of money to buy so many things for his mother's family. But they were actually very pleased and happy. The thought that their son-in-law was willing to spend money to buy things for his wife's family showed that they had a good relationship and a harmonious family.

Deng Qingling looked around and saw two people missing. "Mom, why aren't my third brother and his wife here?"

Liang Haidi said: "Your third sister-in-law had a stomachache last night, and your third brother rushed her to the hospital overnight, thinking she was about to give birth. The doctor said her cervix was not dilated and she wouldn't give birth soon. Your eldest sister-in-law also just came back from the hospital and said her cervix was only two fingers dilated. We will wait for you to come back and then go to see her after dinner."

Deng Qingling said: "Is that so? Then please tell me when your sister-in-law gives birth so I can prepare a gift."

"Okay, let's go eat first and have a good chat another day," said Liang Haidi.

After having dinner at her mother's house, she went back. Before leaving, Liang Haidi gave Deng Qingling a handful of onions and ginger, a handful of rice, and a few eggs. She took them back and asked her to plant the onions and cook some rice for the children to eat, saying that this was the custom.

"Cong" means smart and clever, which probably means that the wish is that the child will be smart and have no worries about food and drink.

In the evening, Guo Jianping gave Deng Qingling more than 50 yuan and told her that this was the money he had earned during this period. He asked her to use it first and he would find a way after she had used it up.

Deng Qingling felt that he was a really good family man. He gave his earnings to his wife and helped with housework and taking care of the children when he got home. He had no male chauvinism at all.

You have to know that most men in this era don't do housework. They think that doing housework and taking care of children are women's responsibilities, as if doing them makes them inferior.
