Vip394 The old lady on the mountain
In the countryside, people rarely go to restaurants to hold banquets, and they just set up a stove in the yard. Wanqing saw them use a few bricks to build a row of trenches and two holes, and throw honeycomb coal in, and it started to burn fiercely.
There were not enough people at home, so the neighbors came to help. Every day, the small pond in front of the door was used to wash vegetables and chickens and ducks. Wanqing felt strange and sad at the same time - these were not what she deserved, and she felt so sorry for them.
After Xu Zhong came back, he first looked at his children - a play should be performed in full, what father would not miss his newborn child? Then he discussed the banquet with Xu's father and asked, "Who are you inviting?"
Father Xu said: "We have invited everyone in our team, as well as the village cadres. But we haven't invited anyone from Wenjiaao yet..."
Before Xu's father finished speaking, Xu Zhong said, "Although they are from the second team, they are close to us, and Mu Tou also invited us to his wedding last time."
Father Xu looked at him and said, "I want you to go and invite them yourself! You and those guys grew up together, and you played with Shui girl before. I'm afraid they won't care. Why don't you go by yourself?"
Xu Zhong was silent. This was the only romantic affair in his life. "Then I'll go later."
Father Xu added: "Miaomiao came back the day before yesterday. I wonder if she is at home."
Xu Zhong: =口=!
"Ah, and there's the old lady on the top of the mountain. I forgot about her. I forgot about sending her the eggs. Hurry up and take the box of eggs to her. She probably won't come, but she lives here after all, so she's still a neighbor. Just pretend to be there, and then go to the Wen family!"
Xu nodded and turned to ask his mother for the eggs. When his mother heard that he was going to the Wen family, she said to him, "Why not take Wanqing with you? Wanqing is bored at home every day, let her go out for a walk." Humph, let the Wen family see how beautiful their daughter-in-law is, much prettier than their Miaomiao!
Xu Zhong hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Two children are sleeping. The son, nicknamed Dangdang, sleeps very comfortably and won’t wake up even if you poke his face. The daughter, nicknamed Dingding, sleeps uncomfortably every day and has a sad face. As soon as she wakes up, she wants her mother to hold her.
As soon as Xu Zhong went to Wanqing, he had just said a few words when Dingding woke up. Wanqing heard that the two places were not far away and it was estimated that he would not be out for a long time and Dangdang might not wake up, so she carried Dingding out and left Dangdang to Xu's mother.
Xu Zhong was relieved that there was one less child to hold. Because they were getting divorced, he didn't dare to get too close to his child, lest the child recognize him when they separated in the future. So he didn't learn what a father should learn, and he didn't know how to hold a child at all. Now he was carrying a box of eggs. If he held the child again, either the child would fly away or the eggs would break!
The two of them walked out of the house and turned into the bamboo forest behind the house. After the bamboo forest, they were in the fields. Xu Zhong pointed to a small hill opposite, where there was a house: "Let's go there first."
"Is that a relative?"
"No. An old lady lives there. I heard that she moved there the year I was born. She's not from here. Their family is amazing. There's a helipad behind the house. Every three or five months, a helicopter flies over there. I don't know what it's for. Last year, there was an earthquake in the mountains. The authorities sent a helicopter for rescue and asked their family to lend them a place to park the helicopter!"
Wan Qing nodded in surprise. The only time she had come into contact with a helicopter was when Xu Kewei got into trouble, and she had to rely on Mu Tianyang's connections to get one. She didn't expect that such a thing existed in the countryside, and she immediately thought it was amazing.
Wanqing carried the child and followed Xu Zhong up the mountain, already panting with exhaustion. Looking back, it wasn't high at all, but she didn't expect it to be so strenuous.
Seeing her panting, Xu Zhong said, "Take a break and I'll knock on the door again."
Wanqing nodded, touched Dingding's face and said, "It's all your fault." Then she looked at the house in front of her. The house was surrounded by a wall, and roses were growing in one place. She thought there should be a garden inside.
At this time, Ding Ding reached out to grab her hair. She was hurt and quickly took the child's hand away and said to Xu Zhong: "I have to go get my hair cut. It's really inconvenient to have long hair."
Xu nodded: "Well, I wanted to tell you something before."
Wan Qing sighed: "I didn't think about it at first, but later it became inconvenient when I was pregnant."
At this moment, the gate of the wall opened, and the two hurriedly stood up. A tall and thin man walked out. Wanqing was stunned and glanced at his chest. She intuitively felt that this man had pectoral muscles and was a strong and sturdy type. Looking at his appearance, he was completely different from the farmers she had seen in the past few days, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The man asked, "What can I do for you?"
Xu Zhong held up the egg and said, "I am Xu Zhong from the Xu family below, and this is my wife. Tomorrow is our child's 100th day banquet, and I would like to invite Grandma Jin to dinner."
The man was stunned for a moment, then took the egg and said, "Our grandma is old, she has some dietary restrictions, and it is not convenient for her to walk. I guess she won't go, but my brother and I will go."
"Okay, then you guys come earlier tomorrow and we'll leave first." Xu Zhong expected him to say that, so he said a few polite words and left with Wan Qing.
At this time, a man came out from the door, wiping his hair with a towel, and it seemed that he had just taken a shower.
"What's wrong?"
The man gave him the egg and said, "The youngest of the Xu family has given birth to a child. Please invite the lady to the hundred-day banquet."
"Don't be ridiculous. Are these country folk worthy of inviting a wife?"
"Madam lives here, don't make trouble, I said we go."
"Oh...what about the eggs?"
"It's safe to eat raw chicken from a local farm."
Then Xu Zhong took Wan Qing to Wenjiaao. As the name suggests, Wenjiaao is inhabited by people with the surname Wen. Wan Qing asked, "Is Boss Wen from here?"
"Yes, the eldest grandson of the Wen family. His wife is a relative of Grandma Jin, but they are divorced."
“…”
Xu Zhong was nervous when he arrived at the Wen family, but nothing happened. After receiving a reply to his invitation, he took Wan Qing home. Wan Qing always felt that his steps were a little fast, as if he was running away, but she didn't dare to ask.
The next day, a banquet was held, with dozens of tables seated. Xu Zhong and Xu's father toasted back and forth. The child woke up, and Wan Qing also carried the child out to meet people. The scene was too lively, and Wan Qing felt dizzy and could only try her best to take care of the child. After dinner, the guests drank tea or played cards. Wan Qing carried the child back to the room, and a group of people came to see the child.
Only half of the house upstairs in Xu's house was built, and the remaining half was a sunbathing area. There were too many people, and the room couldn't accommodate them, so everyone naturally moved to the sunbathing area and tried their best to teach Wanqing about parenting. Later, the child fell asleep, and Wanqing put the child in the room and continued to talk quietly with everyone outside.
After talking for an hour or so, Xu Zhong came up. When everyone saw the young couple, they understood each other and slowly left. However, Xu's mother didn't think the young couple would do anything in the broad daylight, so she and Xu Zhong's aunt stayed. As they were chatting, there was another sound in the stairwell. Xu's mother knew someone was coming, so she walked over to take a look, was stunned for a moment, and turned back to Xu Zhong and said, "Miaomiao is here."
