Mountain People

Dong Chenghu shook his head, "You guys use a lot to get married, you take it all, our family is not short of meat now."

Zuo Qingsong still wanted to refuse, Gu Shuixiu smiled and said: "How about this, all the meat will be used for the wedding banquet, make more, and everyone will eat it together. As for this deer blood, can you give it to me? I'm trying to make a brew."

Why not? In the eyes of others, if Gu Shuixiu had not insisted on keeping the blood of the deer, Uncle Qin would have killed the wild deer directly, and the blood of the deer could not be kept.

After everyone agreed, the woman began to move the meat to the kitchen.

There are only two or three days left until Dong Yunmei gets married. From now on, you can start to make some food that can withstand storage. It will be too late to prepare on that day.

Headed by Gu Shuixiu and assisted by Mrs. Hao and Cuixi, the three of them worked in the kitchen until it was dark and made a bunch of meatballs. Put it for two days, and fried some sweets made of glutinous rice, and made a big pot.

These were originally intended to be eaten until Dong Yunmei got married, but a few children became addicted to eating them. The contents of the pots were eaten cleanly, and their stomachs were fed.

Everyone looked at each other embarrassedly, Dong Chenghu went into the kitchen with the basin and lowered his head, looked at the three busy people very embarrassedly, mumbling so much that he didn't know how to speak, Gu Shuixiu turned around He almost bumped into Dong Chenghu, and said displeasedly, "What are you doing in the kitchen with this big man? You won't help and add to the chaos."

We've eaten up."

Hao came over with a large pot and spoon to take a look, and said in a high voice: "My dear, you are really good! We have been busy for a long time and let you eat it!"

Dong Chenghu became even more uneasy, took a peek at Gu Shuixiu, and whispered, "It's so delicious, but it's too small, not even one piece is enough to fit between your teeth."

These words happened to be heard by Gu Shuixiu, Gu Shuixiu said with a smile: "Do you think this ball is enough for you?"

Dong Chenghu hurriedly stood upright, holding the basin and shaking his head desperately.

Cui Xi looked at him and snickered, this master is really afraid of his wife.

Fortunately, Gu Shuixiu didn't say anything, she just gave Dong Chenghu a blank look, took the pot in his hand and drove the person away, but they made a fuss. Started working again the day before.

The next day, Dong Chenghu went out to Caozi Village early in the morning. The Dong family has no relatives, and now they only have one family in-law. These people in their family are enough to hold two tables of wedding banquets.

Dong Chenghu was on his way in the dim morning light. When he reached Caozi Village, it was still early. In front of Mr. Zhao, he panted and said, "Auntie, cousin-in-law is here."

The Zhao family was clearing the tableware and chopsticks. Hearing the words, he was stunned. He looked at the sky outside, thinking that their family had only had breakfast.

When Mr. Zhao went out to see what happened, Dong Chenghu had already entered the door. As soon as he saw Mrs. Zhao, Dong Chenghu immediately asked with a smile, "Mother-in-law, are my father-in-law and Erniu at home?"

Zhao wiped his wet hands with his clothes, smiled and greeted him, "Here, I'm busy in the backyard, why are you here so early today, I haven't eaten yet! I'll go and serve Your next noodle."

Dong Chenghu pulled Zhao Shi, who was about to turn around and enter the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy, mother-in-law, I have something to do with you. Let's go to the backyard to find my father-in-law."

Zhao Zhao looked curious and walked ahead to lead Dong Chenghu. Zhao Nizi had been in the kitchen since just now to take over Zhao's work. She waited until there was no movement in the yard before she came out and found that no one was there. Go back to work again.

The two went to the backyard, Dong Chenghu saw Gu Mingde weaving something, Gu Erniu was helping to cut the bamboo, Baoer was playing with the ants, and his head was almost touching the ground with his little buttocks. , looks funny and cute.

Zhao Shi naturally saw it, and said with a smile: "Bao'er stop playing, your face is dirty, your cousin-in-law is here, call someone quickly."

Bao'er quickly stood up, walked to Zhao's side, and called someone timidly. But this time is much better than the last time. Last time the child saw him and hid directly.

Dong Chenghu showed a fatherly smile, touched Baoer's head to let him play, and then said to Gu Mingde: "Father-in-law, I want to take you to my house for a few days today. Yes, the day after tomorrow, my eldest sister is going to get married, and I want to invite my father-in-law and mother-in-law's family to have a lively past."

When Zhao Shi heard that Dong Chenghu's eldest sister got married, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, "Where to marry?"

"It is to marry Zuo Qingsong, who came with me last time. Brother Qingsong and my elder sister grew up together. If the family was too poor at that time, maybe they would have been married long ago. Don't delay until now."

Zhao Shi was deeply impressed by Zuo Qingsong and praised: "He is a good young man, he is strong and looks good, and he has never been married before. This marriage is really good!"

Dong Yunmei's marriage to the Zhao family is naturally very happy. In this way, Gu Shuixiu doesn't have to keep Dong Yunmei all the time, and the Dong family doesn't have to have a bad reputation. After all, there is an aunt who stays with her parents. The elder sister still has a great influence on the children's marriage in the future.

Gu Mingde didn't have much opinion when he heard that he was going to have a wedding wine, but he just thought that he had some savings at home. If everyone went out, he was really worried.

"Well, you bring your mother-in-law, Er Niu and two children with you, I won't go, no one can watch at home."

Gu Mingde hesitated if he didn't go to the Zhao family, and finally Dong Chenghu talked about Gu Mingde.

Gu Mingde asked Zhao Shi and Gu Erniu to pack some clothes and bring them along with Nizi and Baoer.

Zhao went back to the room and thought about it, put on his clothes and got a new red cloth, then went to the kitchen to pack up a basket of eggs and some brown sugar, plus the twenty cents in his arms Four kinds of gifts for the money.

Although there are few things, but courtesy is light and affectionate.

Dong Chenghu rarely refused Zhao, but happily accepted it. This was the first time their family received such a gift, which made Dong Chenghu very happy.

Baoer and Nizi walked with the adults in the middle, and they felt uneasy. They have been at the Gu family for a long time, and they have been afraid to go out and ask for anything. The door, the two children were happy and fearful, after all, they were going to a deep mountain they were not familiar with.

When I was a child, Zhao's parents always bluffed them. If they were not good, the wild beasts in the mountains would eat them. Now they really want to go into the deep mountains. exit.
