Chapter 1354
"Sister-in-law, I'll open the door!"
Opening the door, more than a dozen aunties rushed in. There were also many tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans piled at the door. It seemed that they had brought all the household items here. .
"Where's your mother? Why didn't you see her?"
"My mother heard yesterday that Aunt Zhang's son was hosting a mobile banquet. She thought there were many people in our village, so she went to find them."
"Hey, it's unfair to spend this . What's the point of money? Although there are many people in our village, there are also many people to help, and everyone can help quickly. "
"Oh, their family just came back yesterday, and Anzi didn't come back this year. It’s not convenient for a house full of women to go shopping in town. It’s just a matter of spending some money to find the son of the old Zhang family. It can save a lot of money!” “What are you spending money on
?”
Then, Mother Lin and Aunt Zhang also came over: "I told my son that today I will only help buy things and cook. Apart from spending money on shopping, I won't charge a penny!"
The aunts were talking and laughing. Yes, it’s so lively.
There is strength in numbers, and what looked like a mess just now was soon settled down under everyone's arrangement.
Last year, Xu Wanning even cooked two dishes for the reception dinner. This year, she didn't do anything at all. The old Zhang family cooked everything with their apprentices and helpers.
Mother Lin was generous and arranged twelve tables. Except for some who were not very agile and could not go out, everyone else was called.
There is a plate of stew on every table, which contains more meat than vegetables. In addition, there is a whole meat chicken, pig's trotters, etc. There are five hard vegetables and meat dishes, and other meat and meat stir-fries are also included. There are four dishes, and each dish is served in a pot, which is full. Looking at it, every dish has more meat than vegetables.
Even though life is better for the villagers now, not every household is willing to eat meat so luxuriously.
Even on the Chinese New Year dinner table, the dishes may not be so rich.
The generosity of the Lin family once again made the villagers talk about it.
Song Han and the others were playing outside in the snow for a while. Knowing that the family would have guests for dinner today, they rushed home to help.
But I found that there were too many people helping out at home, and they were all so organized that there was no need for them at all, so I took out the snacks I brought back from the capital city and shared them with my friends in the same village.
Dinner started at 12 noon, and it wasn't until 3 o'clock in the afternoon that the reunion dinner, which had been held for a year, was finally finished.
Everyone helped clean up the house and then everyone went back to their homes.
Although someone was cooking today, Xu Wanning and the other two had to entertain so many people with smiles. They were very tired after a long day.
So, after the people left, the mother and daughter all lay on the kang.
As for Songhan's four little ones, they had already gone out to play wildly with the children in the village.
Xu Wanning never liked to restrain them from letting their nature go, so naturally she didn't care.
Lying on the kang, Mother Lin said to Xu Wanning and Lin Quan: "Today we spent one hundred and ten yuan just buying groceries."
"It is normal for the prices of things to increase as the New Year approaches."
Mother Lin added: "Jianjun The kid only had money to buy meat and vegetables, not a banquet. But I thought about it, he made twelve tables of dishes today, and he hired several helpers. He didn't charge for it. The help can’t be in vain, right? So the money still has to be given.”
When Zhang Jianjun and his party were packing their things and preparing to leave, Lin’s mother stuffed them with money again, but Zhang Jianjun refused to take it.
"Jianjun's kid got married early and has given birth to three children now. I'm thinking that when I'm free in the afternoon, I'll go to his house again and give him some things we brought back from Beijing and a few more. Each child should wrap a red envelope and put some lucky money in it. "
Zhang Jianjun only has three children, but the Zhang family has two brothers, and his eldest brother also has two children, which means that Lin's mother has to give five red envelopes at a time.
But Mother Lin doesn't care much about this small amount of money now.
There is no reason why people should help in vain.
"Okay, it's all up to mom!"
Before it got dark, Mother Lin went out again, carrying a basket before leaving. No need to think about it, there must be things for the Zhang family in it.
In about half an hour, Mother Lin came back, along with her four children.
"Look, these clothes are wet with snow water. Take off your clothes and pants quickly, take them off inside and out, and change into something clean. I'll put these wet clothes on the kang for you to dry. Otherwise, we won't have to change tomorrow."
"Thank you, grandma!"
After the four children took off their wet clothes, they changed into clean ones from inside to outside, and then got into bed.
"Don't mention it, the kang is really warm. It's much more comfortable than the electric blanket we slept on in Beijing."
"No, the electric blanket has been burning for a long time, and sleeping is not comfortable at all. The kang is still comfortable. Mom, why can't the kang be comfortable? National promotion?"
This question stumped Xu Wanning.
There must have been a reason for the lack of national promotion, but she never delved into the issue.
After all, in this book world, there was not even a kang originally. It was only after she came back during the Chinese New Year last year that she told the village chief and team leader how to make it and asked them to promote it.
At present, all Dajiang villages have kang-burning stoves, and Jishi has basically spread them all.
As for other places in the Black Province, Xu Wanning has not learned about them, so she is not very clear.
"Because China has a vast territory, not every place is as cold as the Black Province, so for those places that are not too cold, it is inconvenient to have a kang. Take the city of Beijing for example. The overall area of the city is not large. But the population is large, which means that the housing area allocated to each person is much smaller. "
In some factory family courtyards, a small two-bedroom house requires several families to sleep together. , it is very spacious if it can fit a one-meter-wide bed. Furthermore, the Kang bed can only be used in a bungalow like ours, and it is not suitable for a building, so it is not suitable. "
This is what Xu Wanning can do at the moment . The answer that came to mind was the best one for Song Han and others to understand.
Jin Chu said from the side: "Although kangs cannot be popularized, electric blankets can! Classmates in our class said that the person who invented the electric blanket must be a great genius. He can make winter less difficult for many people."
The speaker said At that time, Jinchu's eyes were bright and he looked at Xu Wanning without blinking.
Because in Jinchu's understanding, the concept of electric blankets was proposed by her mother!
Mom is that great person!
Xu Wanning was a little ashamed.
She just borrowed the knowledge that her ancestors had explored long ago. The research and development of electric blankets actually had nothing to do with her.
