On the morning of the sixth day of November, there was heavy snowfall.
Xu Hongping and her daughter stayed in the kitchen - very busy.
However, two bricks were used to prop up a small stove next to the big stove. There was a pot on the small stove, and a steamer was placed in the pot. In the steamer, there were 1.20 bowls of pork belly and 1.20 bowls of rice noodles.
The water under the steamer made a "puff" sound.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, pay attention to the water under the steamer, if it becomes shallower! You need to add water.
Erfeng replied: I'm watching!
Xu Hongping called out: It's still early now. When the guests arrive, you have to go outside to meet the guests...
"I know." Erfeng continued:
Xu Hongping shouted: "One more thing, your mouth should be sweeter. You can't close your mouth and make no sound."
Erfeng replied: Mom, don't worry, Shitou will accompany me to meet the guests.
Xu Hongping responded: "Stone," I can rest assured, but the one I can't worry about is you.
Erfeng said: Shitou is with me and he will help me cover.
"Look at the fire. Add fire to both stoves. You have to boil the pot of water in the big stove." Xu Hongping moved her feet and reminded:
"Mom, where are you going!"
"You watch the fire."
"Don't tell me where you go."
"Ms. sir, get up, the guests are coming soon."
Uncle Tang snored, but there was no reaction at all.
Xu Hongping grabbed Tang Bo's nose with one hand and shouted: Get up!
Uncle Tang pushed Xu Hongping's hand and groaned: Hmm~
"Tang Jin, get up quickly!" Xu Hongping shouted:
Tang Bo glanced at Xu Hongping and said: Ping'er (Xu Hongping), it's you!
"What day is it today! You are still the same as usual - lying down leisurely and contentedly." Xu Hongping said:
Uncle Tang wiped his eyes and said: I get up, I get up.
Xu Hongping stepped up and called out: "Hurry up and get dressed. The guests will be here soon."
Uncle Tang continued: Fortunately, Ping'er woke me up.
otherwise!
"Shitou, get up." Xu Hongping stood at the door of the room and said:
"Mom, go and do your work! I woke up for a while and was getting dressed." Shitou responded:
Xu Hongping turned around and walked straight to the kitchen.
"Your dad is such a lazy guy. I spent a lot of effort to wake him up." Xu Hongping walked into the kitchen and muttered:
Erfeng replied: He is quite tired these days.
Xu Hongping said: You have to hold on even if you are tired. You must cheer up today.
"Ping'er, please step aside and I'll scoop out the hot water."
Xu Hongping shouted: Put the bucket down and I will scoop it out.
Erfeng raised his head and asked: Dad, has Shitou gotten up yet?
Uncle Tang replied: I overslept, I didn’t...
"He must have gotten up. He was getting dressed when I called him." Xu Hongping interrupted:
"Mom, help me get a ladle of hot water."
Xu Hongping called out: "Bring the bucket over."
"Mom, you and Sister Erfeng have been busy here for a long time, dad and I are the only ones!" Shitou handed the bucket and whispered:
"You don't need to say more. It's more important than anything else for you to be nicer to Erfeng." Xu Hongping shouted:
"Shitou, hurry up and take a shower with dad." Erfeng shouted:
Shitou held a bucket in one hand and said, "Dad, I'll carry the water."
Uncle Tang responded: "You go ahead."
"Dad, these past few days, you have been running around for the marriage between me and Sister Erfeng!" Shitou twisted the towel and said:
Uncle Tang interrupted: "Shitou, you can guess my wish with just a few clicks. Ping'er and I don't have high expectations for you. As long as you treat Erfeng well, no matter what happens in the future!" You can't abandon Erfeng, your mother and I know that! You will not always be by our side, and we will not ask you to be devoted to Erfeng...
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
"Dong dong dong"
Stone hung a towel and shouted: Someone is coming outside.
Uncle Tang ordered: Stone, go and light those braziers.
Shitou asked: Do all the braziers need to be lit?
"Everything must be set on fire." Uncle Tang wiped his chin and walked outside the house.
He opened the door and said with a smile: Sisters-in-law, please come inside! Please come inside!
They got into the house and said: Sister-in-law has been up for a long time!
Uncle Tang responded: "I woke up for a while."
"According to my sister-in-law's character, she can't sleep for a moment..."
"You're still here talking nonsense, let's go in and get to work."
Shitou saw several aunts coming and said politely: Good morning, aunts! Please come here and warm yourself by the fire!
The aunts joked: We go over to your side to warm up the fire, we sit on your lap to warm up the fire, or we sit on your body to warm up the fire.
Shitou blushed and said shyly: Aunt.
"He's shy."
"You young women are all wolves."
"We are wolves and you are the tiger."
"Nonsense, I'm half a hundred years old..."
"Half a hundred years old, experienced."
"You are here to carry me! I don't have time to accompany you!"
"Sister-in-law, how long have you been busy?"
Xu Hongping smiled and said: I didn't wake up for long.
Erfeng came over and called out: Hello aunts!
"Er Feng, you are about to fall into your husband's arms. How do you feel?"
Erfeng replied: Aunt Niu, don't make fun of me!
Aunt Niu shook her coat and said: Erfeng, don't tell me! You are still a big girl...
"Everyone, let's work!" Aunt Yu said:
The aunts got busy together.
Aunt Niu called out: Erfeng, sit aside and I'll add fuel to the fire.
Erfeng straightened up and said: What a waist! Sour and numb.
"Sister Erfeng, come here." Shitou rushed forward and shouted:
"That's not right! Why are people with sore backs not stones?" Aunt Niu said:
Erfeng responded: A sore back can also divide people!
"hehe!!"
"Erfeng, your Aunt Niu is laughing at you."
Aunt Niu held firewood between her arms and replied: I'm not laughing at you, don't listen to your mother's nonsense!
"I have a question now. I hope you can answer me. How do you feel at this moment?" Aunt Niu continued:
Erfeng wondered: What does it feel like!
Aunt Niu then said: Are you excited, at a loss, or...
"I don't feel anything!" Erfeng replied:
"That's right, you get on the bus and pay the ticket!" Aunt Niu put her chin on her hand and whispered:
"Aunt Niu, it's my fault!" Shitou replied:
"Who can you blame for emotional matters?" Aunt Niu continued:
Aunt Niu continued: What I want to say is that Erfeng no longer has feelings for you. You might as well go back with me. That silly girl in my family hasn't found anyone yet...
"Aunt Niu, this is not possible." Erfeng said anxiously:
"Ha ha"
Aunt Yu said with a smile: This cow lady turned out to be "prepared."
Aunt Niu responded: You know nothing, I will help Shitou leave a way out.
Aunt Yu said: If you want to poach someone, you also need to find a place!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Sisters-in-law, please let me go. My girl rarely makes jokes. She can't stand your tossing in turn.
"Is Erfeng still a girl? If she is still a girl! Each of us is a young girl (Aunt Niu keeps stroking her hair)."
There was a "boom" in the room and laughter began.
Erfeng and his wife lowered their heads, looking extremely embarrassed.
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, you and Erfeng go out, these aunts are all old people, and they are deliberately here to make fun of you.
Shitou picked up Erfeng and walked towards the outhouse.
Aunt Niu shouted: Don't leave the stone! Erfeng, don’t leave! We're not done talking yet, let's keep talking.
Xu Hongping said: How do you want to talk! I'll call Brother Niu over to talk to you and let you warm up. Isn't there a saying: "playing the piano to a cow"!
Aunt Niu said: Ginger is indeed very spicy. Before we even started eating it, it was so spicy that it choked our noses.
Aunt Yu smiled and said: But then again! A cow's butt is so big! It really takes a bull to grasp the heat.
Aunt Niu made a face and replied: You stupid woman, you are tired of living, aren't you?
"I won't show you any color! You think I'm a vegetarian." Aunt Niu chased Aunt Yu back and forth.
Everyone held their stomachs and laughed: Dog, dog, bite! Bite...
At noon, there was the sound of firecrackers at the door of Uncle Tang's house, and guests came one after another.
"Auntie, please come to the back room!" Shitou bent down and asked:
Erfeng asked: "Aunt Jue, please!"
The aunt smiled and said: Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Shitou and Erfeng for their happy union and eternal friendship.
Shitou said politely: Thank you! Thanks!
Unfortunately, the two old hens in the aunt's hand screamed "Oooh".
The aunt said excitedly: Good sign, good sign, the hens are congratulating you two. You two will definitely give birth to a big fat son next year.
Shitou smiled and said: Auntie, it's cold outside. Go inside and warm yourself by the fire.
"Bang bang bang!! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Shitou and Erfeng for their long and lasting marriage."
Shitou bowed and said: Thank you for your good words, Uncle Zhu!
Erfeng then said: "Except for the uncle, please go inside and sit down."
"Shitou, Sister Erfeng, congratulations on your everlasting love."
Shitou said: Min'er is here...
"Min'er, come here, sister, let sister..."
"Li la! Li la!"
"Why do these firecrackers sound so different!"
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Shi Shi on your happy marriage! The couple is in love and will grow old together."
Shitou thanked him: Thank you, uncle!
Erfeng called out: Grandpa, there is a fire in the house, you go inside to warm yourself up.
"Grandpa, we're going in." Min'er took Grandpa's hand and said:
Shitou stretched out his hand and said: Please!
"My lord, happy wedding!"
Shitou turned his head and called out: Marshal, what you have in your hand is this!
The bailiff replied: These are foreign wines.
"My elder brother has another box there." The bailiff continued:
Shitou replied: Really!
"My lord, happy wedding!"
Shitou smiled and shouted: "Take it into the house."
Officer Wang and the others slowly walked into the back room with their drinks in their arms.
Erfeng felt extremely panicked and held Shitou's hand tightly.
Shitou patted Erfeng's shoulder with one hand and said: Sister Erfeng, please be more natural. There are so many people here today and they don't dare to cause trouble.
Erfeng muttered: I get a headache when I see the two of them, especially the one named Fa, with his dog eyes...
"Sister Erfeng, the guests are almost here, let's go in!" Shitou interrupted:
Erfeng nodded and whispered: Let's go!
"Ms. sir, there are so many people in the house, please go to the door and set up a few more tables." Xu Hongping called:
"The door is so wide, it's okay to put dozens more tables, but it's snowing in the sky!" Uncle Tang responded:
Xu Hongping continued: What can you do if you encounter this kind of weather! You take out our factory shed and those films to block it.
Uncle Tang said: As of now, it has to be like this.
Shitou walked into the living room and shouted: Dear relatives and friends, we are holding this family banquet mainly to invite everyone to come and witness me and Sister Erfeng. The reason why I call her Sister Erfeng is because he is two years older than me. I am used to it. Sexually calling her sister...
"It doesn't matter what you and your wife are called!"
"Thank you everyone for coming to our wedding banquet! The sky is very cold today, but the atmosphere in our house is very warm. To express our apology, we set up two family banquets and cooked some home-cooked meals... "
"The two of them are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven."
"If you all sit here a little longer, the banquet will begin."
"Brother Tang is so lucky! He gave birth to such a beautiful daughter, and his son-in-law is even more..."
"Brother Tang's son-in-law is a well-rounded man. He is not an ordinary person..."
"jump jump jump······"
Shitou led Erfeng and ran straight to the door.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Erfeng and Shitou on their happy wedding and a hundred years together."
Shitou smiled and said: Uncle Jiang, please come to your room!
Erfeng asked: "Uncle Jiang, please!"
Uncle Jiang took a step forward and praised: Shitou, Erfeng, you two are a "golden boy and a beautiful girl".
Shitou giggled and said: Uncle Jiang, you are covered with snowflakes.
Erfeng quickly went to pat the snowflakes on Uncle Jiang's body.
Uncle Jiang took out a red envelope and called out: Shitou, today is the day for you and Erfeng to have a happy new year. I also gave a piece of red paper to express my feelings and wish "you and your husband will love each other and stay together for a lifetime."
Shitou took the red envelope and thanked him: Thank you Uncle Jiang for your blessing! I also wish Uncle Jiang "good health and everything goes well".
Uncle Jiang smiled and said: OK! We rejoice together! Congratulations!
"Uncle Jiang, sit over there, there's something else going on over there with Shitou..." Shitou walked to the living room and called:
"The stone will help itself, the stone will help itself." Uncle Jiang replied:
Shitou squeezed in front of the recipient (Jin Bo), handed the red envelope in his pocket to Jin Bo, and said: This is the red envelope sent by Brother Jiang.
Uncle Jin glanced at Uncle Jiang and memorized it slowly.
Shitou glanced at the ledger, which read 50, 20, 10, 15, 4...
Shitou asked: Jinbo, how much money is recorded in the book?
Jin Bo stood up and said: Shitou, you are full of blessings. This is the first time I have received gift money from you for half my life. I initially estimate that the money in the account book must be at least over a hundred, over a hundred pieces of silver.
Shitou replied: Everyone is blessed.
"Shitou's greatest blessing is meeting Erfeng..." Shitou commented:
"Yes, yes! Everyone is blessed." Jin Bo smiled and said:
"You guys give way, you guys give way, we need to put a steamer here." The two uncles carried the rice and said:
Then, several boys came out holding dishes.
"Crackling!" A string of firecrackers sounded outside the door again.
Shitou asked: "Jin Bo, please sit down!"
Jin Bo responded: I'll sit here and eat.
"Brother Jin, please! Brother Jin, please!" Tang Bo pushed Jin Bo and asked:
Jin Bo turned his head and said with a smile: Tang Jin, brother Jin, please tell me where you can find such a son-in-law!
Shitou pulled Jin Bo and called: Jin Bo, sit down here, I will let my dad accompany you here...
"Shitou, you're having a big day today, go and accompany the other guests..." Jin Bo interrupted:
"Uncle Jin, I'm leaving then." Shitou took Erfeng to toast them table by table.
After two glasses of wine, Shi Shi's face was already red.
He raised the cup and shouted: "Today is the wedding day of Sister Erfeng and I. Shitou's joy is beyond words. Shitou and Erfeng prepared some wine and light vegetables to thank you all. What a shame!" The stone is too strong to drink, just drink a little! It’s better if you don’t get weird! Don't be cautious! Let go and drink.
Uncle Chu shouted: "Shitou, I'll give you a toast."
Shi Shi leaned over and drank heavily.
Officer Wang said: My dear master, today is your happy day, our brothers would like to toast you...
Shitou replied: Me!
The bailiff then said: My dear sir, our brothers have offended many times before. After you drink this glass of wine, we can forget our grudges with a smile and start over again...
"I forgot what happened before. We will still be friends in the future." Shitou replied:
"Brother Fa, let's toast the young master together." Officer Wang called:
The bailiff and the others raised their glasses and swallowed the wine in one gulp.
Min'er pulled Erfeng's sleeve and whispered: Sister Erfeng, be happy today!
Erfeng looked over and said with a smile: Little girl.
Min'er joked: Sister Erfeng, your happiness is written on your face, and you can't even hide it.
Erfeng smiled and said: In two years, you will also get married.
Min'er replied: I won't marry.
Officer Wang replied: You have no choice but not to marry.
Erfeng responded: Did you hear that?
"Brother, let's toast my mistress again." The judicial police officer looked in a daze and shouted:
Shitou waved his hand and said: I can't drink anymore, you drink.
The old man called out: Shitou, today is a happy day, I will have a drink with you too.
Shitou then said: Just have a drink.
Min'er shouted: Grandpa, don't drink too much! Be careful!
The old man replied: Min'er, don't persuade me! Grandpa is happy!
"Stone, come and have a drink with me."
"Shitou, come over here."
After a quarter of an hour, Shitou was lying on the wall "dancing" and muttering: Drink, drink.
Erfeng carried the stone and said: People are so drunk, and they still drink...
