Propose a hundred times

It was still early in the day, and most of the villagers had just returned home from work in the fields, and a few houses had smoke rising from their chimneys.In the independent large courtyard at the head of the village, the head of the house is entertaining guests in the hall, and the head of the house is leading the sister-in-law, daughter-in-law and niece to work in the kitchen, and the smell of food floats out of the courtyard and into the hall.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

A few rough ore men were bustling about, smelling the tangy aroma of vegetables, their mouths were salivating with joy, and they were full of anticipation.

Shao'an Wangxi was the last to arrive, and when he was admitted to the hospital, he also smelled the smell of the food that was different from his usual home, and they looked at each other for a moment, and they all grinned with surprise.

"Hey, the two little brothers are here! Come in and sit down, the banquet will start in a while." Boss Geng was hospitable to the guests, seeing Shao'an and the two entered the yard, he greeted them personally.

Another middle-aged man stood up with him to greet him, his appearance was somewhat similar to him, only Geng Er Er, who was missing two beards, also had an expression of admiration on his face, and said with a loud smile,

"I heard that little brother Yuan was troubled today, and he helped a lot twice. He is really a good young man. My second brother Geng admires such a righteous man the most! Tonight, our old Geng's men want to have a few more drinks with you hahaha !"

"Hehehe, Uncle Geng and Uncle Geng are too polite. Uncle Geng, this is a small gift that Daddy asked me to bring over."

"How embarrassing is this! My Geng family can't accept the gifts from the Yuan family! Shao'an, take it back and say that Uncle Geng will come to thank you someday!" Boss Geng was really embarrassed.In addition, the big men in the room also felt embarrassed, and sighed that the old Yuan's family was not only rich in family background, but also thoughtful in life, they could not compare.

Shaoan met Wangxi's eyes without showing any signs of expression, and then said with a smile, "I want it. Daddy said it's a congratulatory gift for Uncle Geng's appointment as village chief."

"Yeah, I'll give it away before it's accepted. Hahaha, that fellow Yuan Yuan is interesting. Just accept it, brother!"

"Okay, I'm interested, come in quickly. Qiuyue, serve tea!"

From the far end of the kitchen came a delicate voice: "Hey!"

After Shao'an and Wangxi arrived, everyone was there, and the kitchen was almost busy. Geng Qiutang led Zhang Shunde to the warehouse to move two tables to the hall and set them up, and then moved stools to set them up one by one.At this time, Geng Qiuyue brought up two cups of tea, and Shao'an and the two thanked them while taking them.Qiuyue just twitched the corner of her mouth at Liu Wangxi, turned and left without looking at the other person.

Shaoan pouted, not paying attention.

After Qiuyue went out, the hall was once again boisterous. Several men were admiringly sighing that the Geng family's daughter was beautiful and virtuous, and said that their own daughter was not so sensible and well-behaved.

Shao'an was listening, and rolled his eyes secretly, feeling that these people were really polite.Who in this village doesn't know that Geng Qiuyue is a savage, eleven out of ten people dare not provoke her, how can she be so sensible and obedient?Besides appearance, let alone the past, she can be called beautiful even today.As for virtuousness, hehe, I don’t even know how to recognize a fish, and I’m afraid I’m too imaginary in other aspects. You can open your eyes and talk nonsense with hype, you are convinced!

Hmph, that woman is virtuous when she serves a cup of tea. If I were a woman, I don’t know how you would kneel down and admire her...

Pooh!I was originally a woman!

After talking for a while, the aroma of vegetables became stronger and stronger.The more delicious the food, the hungrier they are.Some people couldn't help stretching their necks to look at the door, and what's more, they played their bellies directly, making everyone in the hall laugh.

Just as they were joking, someone finally came in at the door. Geng Qiuyue and Geng Qiufang, each carrying bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, and the other carrying two wine jars, and Qiufang's mother, Qiuyue and aunt behind her, served two dishes of wine and side dishes.

"The table is open, the food will be served immediately, everyone sit down!"

Finally, the food was about to be served, Boss Geng invited everyone to sit down, and explained embarrassingly: "Because it is a temporary decision to set up two tables, and the food at home is limited, everyone should not be disgusted with it, just eat and drink!"

A group of men responded and sat down happily.How could they dislike it? With the conditions of the Geng family, even if it was a temporary banquet, they would definitely not use crude food to make do with it. They just opened their bellies today.

Shao'an and Wangxi were also hungry, they found a seat, and actively dragged the chair over, and sat with Zhang Shunde, Geng Qiutang, and Geng Qiuhan.

If Shaoan and the others came early, it was already time for dinner, although the Geng family wanted to entertain and thank today's guests, the most important thing was Geng Qiumei who lived in the bedroom.Qiuyue took time out to serve her elder sister with meals and sent them to her room, taking care of them carefully.

"Sister, it's time to eat. You should drink more of the old hen soup that mother made for you."

Geng Qiumei rested all afternoon, her complexion improved, but she was still pale, she was leaning against the head of the bed in a daze, when Qiuyue came in with food, she came back to her senses,

"Let's put it down, I'll eat it by myself later, where's your brother-in-law?"

"Eating outside, a group of big men are making a lot of noise. Dad really knows that you want to rest!"

Qiumei shook her head and said to her sister with a smile: "You, they helped your sister's house, shouldn't dad call them over for a meal to thank you?" Everything, very satisfied.

Qiuyue was just complaining and had no other intentions. Her elder sister was considerate, so how could she argue with her: "You should, you should, you should drink soup quickly, and you have to drink medicine after eating. I won't watch it." After seeing you, Ang has to go out to serve those people."

"Well, let's go."

……

The dishes were served one by one, stewed goose, steamed grass carp, fried pork with eggplant, braised taro, egg buns, boiled vegetables, squashed cucumbers, fried ground beans, some of the dishes that are common in the city, arrived in Fenghuang Village , became the first taste that the villagers had never heard of. All the big men filled their cups with wine.

"Delicious! I've never eaten anything like this!"

"Not bad! Taro eggs can still do this, it's amazing!"

"The goose meat is really delicious, my sister-in-law is so good at cooking!"

"That's right, this wine is also good wine, I haven't drunk it so mellow in many years!"

A group of big men were intoxicated by the food and wine, and they were full of praise. They drank, ate, and chatted, not to mention how enjoyable it was.Yuan Shao'an was sitting between them alone, a woman, her manner was a bit reserved, not as bold and unrestrained as the others, which seemed quite out of place.

However, the food is really delicious, Shaoan decided to withdraw his previous superficial comparison silently, and ate the food, rarely clinking glasses with others.

The food and drink were served in the hall, and the men ate and drank happily. The two sisters-in-law and two cousins ​​of the Geng family who had been busy all afternoon finally rested and returned to the kitchen to start eating.

"Well, sister-in-law's craftsmanship has improved again. I'll come and learn some tricks from you sometime." Qiufang's mother, who has been a cook for many years, is also full of praise for Mrs. Geng's craftsmanship.

The full smile of the person who was praised made the thick mulberries howling "delicious and delicious" in the hall from a distance. Not to mention how proud he was, he glanced at his daughter who was drinking soup, and then replied,

"It's too hasty today, I don't have time to prepare the ingredients, I can only kill chickens and geese. I will teach you some new dishes when I have good ingredients. Qiuyue, a silly girl, brings me the recipes and throws them to me. Didn't learn much, lazy!"

Qiuyue quit. She was exhausted all day long and was called lazy.

"Mom! It's the same after you learn it. Our whole family loves to eat your dishes, so there's no need for Yue'er. Qiutang always thinks that I don't even bother to cook!"

"My child, you are a woman and you are going to get married. Learning how to cook is to cook for your in-law's family in the future, not for your younger brother, hehehe!"

"Second Aunt! Humph!" Qiuyue pursed her lips, twisted her body, glanced at Geng Qiufang who was at the side, and diverted the conversation.

"It's still early! I think Qiufang must be married before me. Second Aunt, you can hurry up and teach her some principles of husband and son!"

Geng Qiufang, who eats food silently and does not make trouble, and who can be affected even if her sense of existence is minimized: "..."

The first few women chatted while eating, and the same was true for the group of men. Halfway through the meal, they finally became interested in drinking.

"Hey! The two eldest brothers of the Geng family are really blessed. The sister-in-laws are also very good at cooking, and the daughters are also outstanding one by one. Come on, let's go!"

"That's right, Qiumei is married to an honest man like Shunde. Now that something is wrong, she will have a lot of good times in the future! Come on, brother, too!"

"Qiuyue and Qiufang didn't talk about her husband's family, right? What a wonderful girl, I don't know which family's young man will be so blessed..."

At this point in the conversation, the group of people turned their attention to Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi, who were married and unmarried, and immediately became more interested.

Especially Yuan Shao'an, who ignored the men's conversations throughout the whole process, just immersed himself in eating hard, and didn't take the initiative to clink glasses with others.It's just that Geng's second child has long said that he wants to feed her. Those rough guys like to tease and teach the white and tender young men in the village. I can't see that some men look weak and delicate. How can such a good opportunity be easily let go? .

"Come on, come on, little brother Yuan is a well-known handsome young man in our village, and he is also kind-hearted. He helped a lot with his efforts today. Shouldn't we elders give us a toast?"

Startled, Shaoan raised his head in a daze, twitching the corners of his eyes: "Don't dare, it should be Shaoan respecting all the uncles and brothers!" As he spoke, he poured down a glass of wine neatly.

When everyone saw him, they felt that this kid was bold, even though he looked rather tactful.Well, since she is such a man, let them be more manly.

Therefore, Yuan Shaoan was the youngest and weakest guest among them. He was regarded as a guest of honor by a group of men and came up to toast in turn. Even Boss Geng toasted three glasses alone.The poor guest couldn't refuse, so he had to drink one cup at a time.

Shao'an was surrounded by all the stars, and Liu Wangxi who was beside him was not left alone. The uncles and brothers were so heroic and enthusiastic, and he never refused to come.If he was worried about Shao'an earlier, he didn't have the heart to take care of her now.This group of big men, what's wrong with chatting about Qiu Fang's marriage, he really didn't know which pot to turn on and which pot to lift, his mood suddenly became dull, he drank heavily, and only by putting these uncles down can he relieve his anger!

Besides, Shao'an, although he ate too much food at the beginning to fill his stomach, but it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable after drinking a glass of wine.It was really uncomfortable, and after a while, her body was already hot, and her face was flushed. She drank the last cup with a bitter face, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed deeply in her heart:

Unexpectedly, the people of Geng's family are troublesome, and the guests of Geng's family are also troublesome, even the wine of Geng's family is very troublesome!

But no, because of Yuan's father's health, the Yuan family seldom drank alcohol. All they kept were warm drinks. When guests came during festivals, Shao'an could drink a few glasses.It's just that although the two jars of Geng's family are also delicious today, the strongness is already stimulating for her, Yuan Shao'an. After a dozen cups, I have already suffered from dizziness, and I can't relieve it even after eating vegetables and soup...

Boss Geng was also drunk, but as the host, he naturally had to take good care of everyone. Seeing Yuan Shaoan lying on his stomach drunk, Liu Wangxi was having fun with the uncles, so he waved his hands to make arrangements.

"Shunde, I'm afraid Shao'an is drunk, and it's getting late, you can help him into Qiu Tang's room to rest, if he wakes up at night, he can go back if he wants, and if he can't, he can rest at our house. His house is strangely far away." After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered the eldest daughter from home, and said to his son, "Qiu Tang, go to the kitchen to see if your elder sister's medicine is ready, bring it here and ask her to drink it, the medicine must be taken while it is ready." Drink hot."

The two took orders and did their own work.

Geng Qiutang left the banquet and went to the kitchen, Zhang Shunde dragged his own swaying body, drove the drunken Yuan Shaoan, and went straight to the east wing...
