Chapter 68 Spend all your money on a banquet!
The old man was also generous and did not want these soldiers to be scolded by their superiors for this matter, so he left a jar of liquor and cut a piece of meat to make the soldiers even happier.
After finishing their work, they would find a place to stew meat and drink wine to relieve their fatigue...
The villagers hurried on their way, talking happily as they did, just like triumphant soldiers.
Mr. Tai San sat on the shaft of the cart, with the corners of his mouth raised never falling.
Although everyone was terrified and scared to death when the incident happened, now that it has been resolved, the tribesmen are more united and more accustomed to working together. This is the greatest gain!
As a patriarch, nothing could make him happier than this!
The convoy passed through two villages, including Liujia Village, before returning to its own territory.
Almost all the remaining tribesmen heard the noise and ran over to ask anxiously!
Seeing that not a single hair of Zhuzhu was missing, and even her little face was warm and rosy from being wrapped in the quilt, everyone felt relieved and started to praise her.
"Zhuzhu is so lucky, I'm glad you came back safely."
"Yes, yes, we were so scared that we didn't dare sleep the whole night! This kidnapper is so rampant now!"
"How was Zhuzhu found? Do those officials have such great abilities?"
The people who stayed behind asked a lot of questions, and the people who went to the city couldn't wait to talk about the whole process. For a while, the place in front of Tai's house was bustling with activity.
Seeing that the old man was still holding Zhuzhu tightly, Yang Lihua felt relieved and quickly asked the women in the village to help cook a big pot of rice.
The sun is almost overhead, and we must get ready as soon as possible.
The stoves of the two neighbors next door were temporarily requisitioned, and sorghum rice and white rice were mixed together to make dry rice, and then a few more dishes were added, including stewed mixed fish with tofu, stewed cabbage with pork, and stewed radish with bone soup!
The third aunt next door, Tiedan's mother, Jisheng's wife and other women who came forward to help first were all surprised to see the pork and fish.
Especially the bag of white rice, it was simply dazzling.
You know, during the Chinese New Year, every household couldn’t even get a bite of rice porridge.
Now, Uncle Liu’s family casually takes out a bag to entertain guests!
Yang Lihua was smart. Seeing their expressions, she said, "Don't worry, just steam all the rice! This time, Zhuzhu was lost in front of the old man, and he was almost sick with worry. Everyone worked hard all day and helped to find Zhuzhu. The old man is very happy!"
"Forget a bag of rice, even if we broke our bank, we couldn't afford Zhuzhu! Treating everyone to a good meal is also our family's intention!"
Third Aunt and the others had just heard some gossip from the clan members, so of course they knew that Zhuzhu was successfully found because Zhimaqiu had found the trail and the old man had risked his life to succeed.
The tribesmen just helped to show their support and shouted a few times around the city.
By doing this, Yang Lihua really lifted up the tribesmen.
But who doesn’t like to be respected and needed!
Third Aunt and the others were delighted to hear this and started shouting.
"We are all from the same tribe and live together. Zhuzhu was raised by us, so of course we have to help find her. This is our due."
"That's right, that's right! These gentlemen are really taking advantage. Just by going into the city, they can eat rice and drink wine. It's a huge bargain!"
After some banter, the women quickly got busy.
The men were talking happily, and slowly smelling the fragrance wafting out, they also diverted their attention.
Young and old were busy gathering tables, chairs and benches from each household. Since there was not enough space in the Tai family's house, only the elders sat at one table, and the rest were set up in the yard.
Anyway, the weather is much better, so I won’t freeze my teeth while eating.
When the tables, chairs and benches were put in place, the hot food was served on the table, the wine jars were opened and filled the bowls with wine, and everyone in Taijia Village felt as if they were in a dream.
I haven’t seen such a sumptuous meal in many years!
I knew that my sixth uncle's family valued the girl, but I never thought they would value her so much!
This is simply a "thank you gift" that would cost you a fortune!
The adults were fine, but the children guarding the gate of the yard couldn't help it.
Especially the little boys, who are at the age when they can eat, when they see so many delicious things, they wish a little palm could stretch out of their throats and suck the bowls and food into them.
The Tai family has already done this, and they have completed the ninety-nine bows, so this last step doesn't matter.
Yang Lihua brought the women with her and set up a temporary table with door panels under the eaves of the wing house, inviting the women and children to eat together.
Although compared to the men’s dining table, there is more sorghum rice and less white rice in the rice, and the stew in the ceramic pot has more vegetables and less meat, but the portion of each dish is not small!
Women and children cannot eat their fill, but it is enough to satisfy their cravings.
Old Master Tai stood under the eaves, holding his precious granddaughter with his broken arm and holding a wine bowl in the other hand. He took a deep breath and toasted with everyone.
"I won't say much else. Zhuzhu was found this time thanks to everyone. Our family has done their best to prepare a banquet, so please don't be shy and enjoy your meal! From now on, if we, the same clan, can stick together like this when things go wrong, we won't have to worry about anything!"
The men, young and old, all held their wine bowls high.
"Don't worry, old brother!"
"Uncle Six, you're welcome. This is what we should do!"
"Sixth Uncle has helped the clan so much, and we are grateful. It's only right that we lend a hand!"
Uncle Tai San took the opportunity to shout a few words and tied his clansmen even more tightly to the "chariot" of his old brother's family.
