Chapter 716 Reunion Night Homecoming
When they heard about the gathering, the "naughty monkeys" who were so bored were almost jumping up and down.
"That's great! Ever since the Imperial Master left Beijing, I have been staying in the military camp all day to guard against thieves. I am almost bored to death!" Xiao Lanyi's eyes sparkled.
Xiao Nuobao also jumped out of her mother's nest.
She was already very happy and started to order dishes in advance, "What did Brother Xiao say about the moldy tofu? Anyway, I want to eat the crab feast, and my second sister-in-law will make it!"
In addition to these two, a small profiteer in the house also came out excitedly to show his presence.
Feng Miao ran over and clapped his hands, "Hey, that's perfect. I'm going to Southeast Asia after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we all get together tomorrow night, it will be convenient for me to collect some money in advance!"
"By the way, mother, big brother and second brother, how much money do you plan to sponsor for me? Otherwise, tell me in advance?"
"You naughty boy, your family is your own little treasury. You have more money than anyone else. You dare to come here to plunder. I think your butt is itchy." Feng pretended to raise her hand to hit him.
Feng Miao was of course joking. After protecting his buttocks, he was grinning and running around a big water tank with his mother.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing his cocky look, the yard also burst into laughter.
Xiao Nuobao smiled happily, and his eyes were crescent-shaped.
After the incident at Pei Mansion, the family seemed to have not been so relaxed and happy for a long time.
At present, those rebel troops have become turtles in a jar.
This most heavy burden has been settled, and everyone is really relieved.
The next morning, Li Qiqiao took Madam Zheng early to the East and West Markets to pick out the freshest fruits, vegetables and meat. They
must show off their skills in the evening.
Maybe the two grandparents have a tacit understanding. On the other hand, the crabs that Xiao Lanyi failed to buy were bought by Old Lady Xiao.
Before noon, five large crab cages were delivered to Jiang Mansion from the small pier by two porters.
Each river crab was bigger than the palm of a hand, and it was holding the tongs proudly, so fresh!
Little Dong, wearing open-crotch pants, squatted in front of the crab cage and looked at the fresh crabs. He fiddled with his hands and called "big spider" in his mouth.
But after a while, the kid howled and cried in the kitchen.
Feng Jing and Feng Miao ran to "rescue" him, holding his pinched and swollen thumb. The two uncles were worried and laughed with their hands on their waists.
In the afternoon, everyone came early.
Xiao's mother and daughter wore orange-red long fir and autumn green horse-faced skirts, full of autumn colors, and they also put on mother-in-law and daughter-in-law costumes. They smiled as soon as they entered the house.
The village chief and Old Li also changed into new clothes. After the hot summer, the two old guys' faces became a little paler and more plump.
Soon, Wu Qing and his wife also arrived.
Mrs. Wu had just recovered from a serious illness, but she was in good spirits. As soon as she arrived, the women hurriedly gathered at a table, eating melon seeds and chatting, but they hadn't gathered together for some time.
The men were also happy to see this.
"Come on, let them chat. It feels like a long time since we last saw each other. Let's not be idle. The second sister-in-law in the kitchen can't handle it all by herself." Fengze looked around and pointed at his brothers.
"Let's go and help the second sister-in-law wash crabs and cut fruits."
In the front hall, the women laughed continuously.
Outside the corridor, the men also rolled up their sleeves and worked hard.
When Feng went to the kitchen to get tea, she saw this scene and suddenly felt warm in her heart.
Although the family is now very wealthy, many chores still need to be done by the family members themselves, which makes it more homely.
Soon, the night finally fell, but there were too many dark clouds tonight, covering the rare Mid-Autumn Moon.
However, although there was no moonlight, the dinner still had to be held, and everyone was not discouraged.
The Jiang family set up two tables in the yard, filled with fruits, moon cakes, and crab feasts.
Li Qiqiao was also dexterous, using all kinds of skills to make crabs into flowers.
Steamed crabs, fried crab pieces, crab meat crisps, each one was served in a moon-colored flower plate, which was simply delicious.
In addition, there was a spicy crab meat pot, which was a new dish that Li Qiqiao had come up with.
There is a small copper pot in front of each person.
The bottom of the pot is simmering with charcoal, and even when it is on the table, it is still bubbling.
In the small copper pot, there are crab meat cubes cut into several halves, potato strips cut into long strips, shiny tofu skin, fresh white mushrooms, and two large spoons of chili peppers. Cooked together, it is spicy and fragrant.
Little Nuobao eats without raising his head and keeps giving thumbs up to his second sister-in-law.
This is simply spicy and refreshing!
The village chief and Old Li ate until their cheeks turned red. After swallowing two mouthfuls of crab meat, they took a sip of wine and then exclaimed "Shaha".
"We two old guys are so lucky. If we were still in our village, where could we eat such delicious food? Even I, who have never been educated, now know what it means to be so happy that you don't want to leave." The village chief sighed.
Li Qiqiao stretched her neck and smiled, "What do you mean by missing your home? This is also your home. You just wait, I can cook new dishes for you in different ways in the future."
At this time, Mrs. Xiao thought of something and asked.
"I heard from my son Xiao that the girl from the Li family came to make trouble for you again? She was born in a scholarly family, but how could she be so shameless? It's really a joke." Mrs. Xiao frowned.
Mrs. Feng also nodded and couldn't help sighing again.
"Perhaps, she was corrupted by her aunt. From this point of view, even if she was born in a golden nest, she can't resist the poor teaching and practice after birth."
Now think about it, every step taken by Li Qingping is a stupid move.
And all of them are the most inferior means.
If she had been sober once, she would not have fallen to this point.
Madam Xiao nodded vigorously, looked at the cute little fat girl, and then looked at Feng Jing who was sitting upright and Feng Miao who was full of cleverness, and she agreed with this point of view in her heart.
Yes.
Although the Jiang family grew up in the countryside,
they have a good family tradition, so all the children in the family are of good family background. It can be seen how important it is to have a good elder.
At this moment, suddenly, light appeared between the dark clouds in the sky. It was the bright moon that broke through the thick clouds and came to meet the world!
Seeing the round reunion moon like a jade plate, everyone was very happy.
"Look, the moon is out. We can finally enjoy the moon tonight!" Feng Jing was the first to stand up, looking up excitedly.
Wu Qing also rubbed his hands excitedly, "Yes, there is only one reunion festival every year, and we have not missed this month. I wish every family can be reunited."
Upon hearing this, everyone picked up the cups on the table and raised them twice happily towards the bright moon.
The bright moon in the sky is shining
brightly on the reunion night of the world.
How could one not feel happy in such a scene?
Little Nuobao also looked at the moon eagerly, but she felt a little regretful. If her father was there, it would be a perfect life.
This thought flashed through her mind.
The next moment, a tall figure appeared in front of the West City Gate, carrying a large box of gifts behind him...
