Chapter 13 Full Moon Banquet 4



Only then did Feng Lao Si remember that his wife was still unconscious, so he picked up his daughter and went back to the room. The others also comforted Feng Lao Tai and the others, saying that as long as they had found her, they were glad.

Feng Laosi entered the room and saw that his wife was still unconscious. He went forward and called her a few times, but she didn't respond.

At this time, Fengjiu saw that her mother's face was pale and she felt so distressed that she burst into tears.

Zhao, who was lying on the bed, heard her daughter crying in her dream and sat up suddenly.

When she looked up, she saw her husband holding their daughter in his arms. She rushed over, snatched her daughter from her husband's hands and started crying.

Feng Lao Si blamed himself, "I didn't take good care of my daughter. I forgot her alone in the room. Brother Zhong only took her out after hearing her crying. Don't cry, my dear. It's all my fault."

Zhao was also frightened. She stopped crying and said, "I'm also wrong. I shouldn't have been away from seeing the child for so long."

Fengjiu rubbed his mother's cheek, and after a while, he carried his daughter out.

Everyone who had gone out to look for the child had returned, and it was a false alarm. Old Man Feng called everyone over and prepared to have the feast.

Everyone then hurriedly found a seat and sat down. Several men helped to serve the dishes. Old Man Feng smiled and said that everyone would eat and drink well today and there would be enough food.

Soon the aunts came with hot dishes, ten in total, including braised pork and stewed potatoes.

Stir-fried pork intestines, braised pork with preserved vegetables, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish, stir-fried lamb, minced meat egg rolls, lamb stewed with corn.

Stir-fried venison and mutton offal soup, the staple food is white rice, and a large bowl of sweet potatoes.

The villagers were stunned when they saw so many meat dishes. They had never eaten so many meat dishes at once in their lives.

The children were screaming and drooling at the sight of so many delicious foods.

When the villagers saw these foods they had never seen before, they asked, "Ping An, what are these dishes? Why haven't we seen them before?"

Old Man Feng smiled and said, "Just eat. I'll tell you after you're done. Everyone, stop watching and start eating."

As soon as Old Man Feng picked up his chopsticks, everyone started eating, leaving afterimages of their hands.

Just then, several uninvited guests came to the Feng family. A woman with drooping eyes brought three people, a boy of seven or eight years old and two men who looked to be in their twenties, into the Feng family yard.

The old woman with drooping eyes said in a sharp voice: "Oh, my in-laws are having a banquet at home today, why didn't they inform us?"

When Da Wang saw the people coming, her body began to tremble. The people coming were none other than Da Wang's mother Chen and her younger brothers and nephews.

When Old Lady Feng saw the newcomer, she looked at him with disdain: "How can you be considered my relative? I remember your family sold your daughter to my family, right? How can you be considered my relative?"

"Oh, what are you talking about, my in-laws? Xiaomei came out of my belly. Even if she was sold, she is still my daughter. If there is a happy event in my daughter's family, of course I have to come and celebrate."

Without waiting for Old Lady Feng to reply, they found a table and sat down. The grandchildren of the Wang family saw so many delicious foods on the table.

The table was full of meat dishes, and his mouth was watering. He immediately reached into the plate with his black hands.

This table was originally reserved for the boys from the Feng family. They were helping to set the table and had not had time to sit down.

Today is Fengjiu’s full moon banquet, and Old Lady Feng doesn’t want to argue with them.

The people around saw that the family was like starving ghosts, grabbing at the plates without even using chopsticks.

Soon the dishes on the plates were all gone. Seeing that the dishes were all gone, Chen shouted to Da Wang, "You silly girl, can't you see that everyone at our table has finished eating?

Hurry up and bring more! Your nephews like to eat preserved vegetable braised pork, so bring a few more plates."

Da Wang came to Chen angrily and said, "Mother, I will call you mother for the last time today. Today is our daughter's full moon banquet. Please leave after you finish eating. Don't make a scene. I am no longer your daughter."

Chen stood up and slapped Wang, cursing angrily, "You ungrateful bastard! Your mother came to your house for a meal and you didn't even give her a meal. Did I raise you for nothing?"

Da Wang staggered after being hit, and her face immediately became red and swollen.

Boss Feng went up and pushed Chen away: "I was the one who bought her back. You have already sold her to me. You have no relationship with me anymore. You dare to come to my house and beat me up today? You are seeking death."

Chen's two sons also stood up and were about to beat Boss Feng.

Everyone in Fengjia Village put down their chopsticks and rushed forward. Old Mrs. Feng and several other women grabbed Chen's hair, pressed her to the ground and slapped her.

Old Lady Feng angrily said, "You came to my house to eat for free and you dared to hit my daughter-in-law? I'll beat you to death!"

Chen's two sons were beaten by the men in the village and cried out in pain, and her grandson was beaten black and blue by the boys in the village.

The only sounds in the yard were the sound of fists hitting flesh and the cries of several people. The patriarch saw that the situation was almost over.

He told his tribesmen to stop, and some of them were frightened by the beating, so they ran away crawling.

Old Lady Feng laughed and said, "If you dare to come again next time, I will break your legs."

Old Man Feng quickly asked everyone to continue eating, and everyone sat down and started eating.

There are only about 300 people in the Feng family. After one round of eating, the next round begins, and everyone can't stop eating.

Fengjiu looked at the people present and saw that they all looked pale and thin. In ancient times, the grain harvest was not high. In good years, the family could eat half full.

When disaster strikes, life becomes even more difficult for ordinary people.

Fortunately, there are so many high-yield grain seeds in the space. I will take some out for the villagers to plant tomorrow.

In this way, everyone can have enough food to eat and save more money for the children to go to school in the county town.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Fengjiu's mouth was watering. Her father saw her drooling and said with a smile: "Nannan, do you want to eat too?"

Come here, daddy will hold me and let me smell my scent. Everyone around me was laughing happily.

Feng Jiu waved her fists angrily, howling angrily, "Don't you think I have any dignity? Humph~ I'm ignoring Daddy."

Zhao twisted her father in anger. She took the Fengjiu from her father-in-law's arms and coaxed him, "Be good, little girl. When you grow up, I'll make delicious food for you every day, not for your father."

Feng Laosi also said in a flattering way: "Daddy shouldn't laugh at Nannan, Daddy is wrong."

The meal was a great success, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves greatly. All the dishes were empty. The adults sat together and chatted, while the children were chasing each other, making it very lively.

The curious villagers asked, "Uncle, what was that food we had never seen before? It was so delicious!"

The village chief was also very curious, so Old Man Feng lied and said that Old Fourth Feng had bought it from a foreigner a few days ago. It was a high-yield grain seed. He bought tens of thousands of kilograms and put them all in the county town.

Old Man Feng had just informed the clan leader of this statement, and the grain seeds were sold to the clan members at three cents per pound.

The clan members were very grateful to Feng Laosi. Ten days later, high-yield grain seeds were planted in Fengjia Village and they were waiting for a good harvest in the autumn.
