When the fish was being caught, Yang Dongxu was unable to participate and needed to hold the child. When the fish was being divided, he went down to join in the fun. Take out the big fish one by one and divide them into piles, and then add some small miscellaneous fish and so on.
Basically, the weight of each pile is similar, the difference is the individual weight of the big fish and the size of some miscellaneous fish. The old house was divided into as many piles as there were households.
If there are not enough big fish, pick some larger miscellaneous fish to replace them, and then write a number in front of each pile and everyone will draw lots. Yang Dongxu did not participate in the drawing of lots, because as soon as the fish were brought in, his family was divided into a large grass carp and a carp, and the silver carp was also divided into two pieces of about three kilograms.
Five or six crucian carp weighing half a catty were also divided, and other small miscellaneous fish were not taken. Yang Dongxu paid for the fish release in Zhaizihao this year, and no one else spent a penny to dig and widen Zhaizihao.
Including the bamboo garden outside Zhaizihao, Yang Dongxu paid real money to buy it, and the fish that were released before had already been cleared out of the pond. So these fish are nothing even if Yang Dongxu doesn't share them with them.
So the fish catcher took the initiative to pick two big fish and a few big crucian carps for Yang Dongxu's family, and the others didn't have any objections. Yang Dongxu accepted it without any refusal.
Then he kept blowing cigarettes out of his hands, so in addition to joining in the fun, he naturally smoked and entertained. After all, everyone in the village has come to your door, so it makes no sense for you not to come out and entertain them.
"Damn it, you're lucky." Da Liang couldn't help but cursed after the lot was drawn. What he drew directly was a bunch of miscellaneous fish with no big fish. Although the fish were all about the same weight, everyone definitely wanted a share of the big fish. heap.
"I have two silver carp here, you choose one?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Forget it, we eat the same size. If you really want to eat a big one, just go buy one from me on the street." Daliang waved his hand.
"The ones sold on the street are all fed with feed. The meat is too soft and mushy, like batter. The fish raised at home tastes meaty and chewy." Xiao Wu held a cigarette in his mouth with a smile on his face. Yes, he was lucky enough to catch a five-pound bighead silver carp.
"Then I'll go back and kill a chicken later. It's a native chicken with chewy meat, right? Just stay away from me now. I see you are annoying now." Daliang laughed and scolded.
In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no big fish. After all, the family is not short of money from selling this fish. The depressed look on his face just now was mainly due to his bad luck in the lottery.
"You guys get busy first. While the fish is still alive, I will send it to Nanzhuang." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Nanzhuang is the name of my grandparents' family. In rural areas, my grandparents' family is rarely mentioned by name. If the direction is over, it is called Nanzhuang, if it is north, it is called Hou, and if it is east, it is called Dongzhuang.
Of course, in addition to grandpa and grandma's family, if you marry a girl from a nearby village, the name of the girl's village will also be replaced by the direction. However, Zhou Ya was not a girl from a nearby village, so Yang Dongxu said that Nanzhuang was his grandparents' home.
The carp was given to my grandpa's house, and the big bastard grass carp was given to my little grandpa's house. As for the two chains and the crucian carp, I kept them for my own consumption.
My grandparents and uncle's family also shared fish just now. In rural areas, what we share is not based on whether we belong to the same family, but on a household basis. The Yang family and my uncle Shengli have separated from their grandparents' family, so they are considered three households, so naturally they have to be divided into three parts.
However, since there were only two grandparents, we did not draw lots but directly gave him a big grass carp to finish the job. My uncle successfully drew lots and was lucky enough to get a big fish, so there was no need for Yang Dongxu to share the fish with the two families.
"Put it in the water tank in the yard first. If you send it there in the afternoon, it won't kill you. In the morning, it's time for your little grandpa to make you drink again." Yang's mother called her son all his life.
"Okay." Yang Dongxu, who was about to thread a rope through the fish's gills to lift it, nodded.
In fact, it is not appropriate to visit relatives in the countryside in the afternoon, as it kind of looks down on the other party. The most common sentence I hear when visiting relatives in the afternoon is: "Why, your grandpa (uncle) is so poor that he can't afford to take care of your food?"
However, Yang's mother reminded her at this time, obviously not because she looked down on her mother's family, but because she was afraid that her mother's uncle would make her son drunk, and her son would have to hold his grandson at night.
Now Yang's father, who smokes, has been kicked out and is not allowed to come near his grandson. How can Yang Dongxu hold his child at night if he drinks?
So it’s just right to send it there in the afternoon after dinner. It’s great to be able to come back after just a few words and to take care of the kids without any delay!
"Are you going to cook in person today?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile as he saw Mr. Xuan packing up the crucian carp.
At first, it was said that Mr. Xuan and his father-in-law lived alone, but later Cui's mother came from Yanjing to cook for them. Mother Yang didn't have time to cook due to busy farming and pig farming, so Mother Cui cooked more for everyone to eat together.
As time went by, we originally agreed to live alone, but ended up having dinner together again. However, the cook changed from Yang Ma alone to two people cooking with Cui Ma.
In this way, Old Man Xuan and his father-in-law originally wanted to take care of their own small vegetable plot, but instead they planned to take care of the Yang family's vegetable plot, and then greened the yard and bonsai in the old house.
From time to time, two people would ride horses or play chess in the yard. A group of old men would watch the game and give various instructions, without the slightest hint of the consciousness of a true gentleman who watches the chess game without speaking. We occasionally play cards together and live a very comfortable life.
Now that the Yang family has filled in the next generation, old man Xuan and his father-in-law have smiles on their faces every day, and they seem to have become several years younger all of a sudden.
"Will you do it if I ask you to do it?" Old Man Xuan raised his eyes and glared at Yang Dongxu displeasedly.
Since the birth of his son, Old Man Xuan has become more and more displeased with the lazy Yang Dongxu. If he were not old and frail now, even if Yang Dongxu did not practice martial arts diligently, his combat effectiveness would be increasing day by day due to physical and physiological reasons. He would no longer be Yang Dongxu's opponent and would definitely catch Yang Dongxu and beat him up.
The foundation he spent so much effort to build when he was young is now almost ruined by Yang Dongxu.
"No, no, you are the professional." Yang Dongxu left immediately with a smile on his face.
The old man is just an old child. He can't afford to offend someone who wears diapers, and neither can an old child, so it's better to avoid it.
But to be honest, he has stepped up his exercise since returning to the village. Taking care of the baby every day is so tiring. He also got up in the morning and went for a morning run, and boxed with a few martial arts kids in the village. Occasionally, he would teach each other two very diligent moves.
"Mom asked Chenchen just now how many tables should be set for the full moon wine?" Zhou Ya's eyes were full of motherly love as she gently swayed her son who was sleeping in the cradle.
For most people, it would be early to prepare for their child's full moon wine a week in advance, but Yang Dongxu needs to plan half a month in advance.
No way, there are just too many guests. We haven't even held the half-moon reception yet. There is an endless stream of relatives and friends who are just giving birth in the hospital to visit. There must be a lot of people coming for the Full Moon Drinks.
"Did Mom tell me what to do?"
"I said we should keep it open for three more days, and then invite the theater troupe and acrobatic troupe to come over to make it fun. There will definitely be a lot of people coming by then, so it's better to just set up the flowing water mat. Since we have the flowing water mat, invite everyone. It won’t cost you much." Zhou Ya said.
Holding a banquet for three consecutive days is not something Yang's mother wants to show off. Normally, the Yang family is quite low-key. In terms of life, I have never seen many people who are extravagant, eating donkeys only with their lips, eating fish only with their swim bladders and so on.
However, she doesn’t live extravagantly in her daily life, but Yang’s mother is absolutely generous when it comes to spending money on her children. For example, a previous wedding, or a full moon party for my grandson. In short, it’s as lively as it gets, and spending money doesn’t matter.
"Then let's keep it busy for three days." Yang Dongxu said.
"Isn't this a bit..." Zhou Ya looked hesitant.
"It's okay. The wedding was so lively and there were so many big shots. People would think it was strange if our son's full-moon banquet wasn't so grand."
"That's okay. By the way, my little grandpa is talking about Ran Feifei again." Although she needs to call Ran Feifei Auntie according to her seniority, Zhou Ya really can't say it out loud. After all, she is still older than Ran Feifei.
Moreover, when the two of them got along in Yanjing before, they were treated as sisters. However, Ran Feifei and my grandpa's family didn't care about this, so they just called each other by their names in private.
"Um... How about sending fish to dad this afternoon." Yang Dongxu looked a little stiff.
It really has nothing to do with him that his aunt at home doesn't want to get married. He has really had a few strings attached to people of the right age around him, but if Ran Feifei doesn't agree, he can't just force her into it, right?
And when Yang Jiayan opened a store in the United States, he really had no intention of letting Ran Feifei go there. The person in charge of the foreign branch has been selected before, but what can Ran Feifei do if she insists on taking charge personally?
So now he gets a big headache when he mentions his little grandpa, because it is impossible for his little grandpa to come to him for other things, and it is 100% related to his daughter's marriage.
The atmosphere in rural areas is still a bit conservative now, so even if Ran Feifei is a big boss and goes abroad to open a restaurant, she is still a woman who is almost thirty and has not yet married, so there will definitely be people who gossip about her.
And isn’t Yang Dongxu the big boss? Isn’t Zhou Ya the big boss? They are both married, why not Ran Feifei? Things circled back to his various problems.
Ran Feifei, who was her great-aunt, must have come back once when little Chenchen was born, but she left after two days without giving her little grandma a chance to get angry.
Ran Feifei will definitely come back this time for the baby's full moon party, so the little grandma is preparing to prepare a response plan in advance and wait for her aunt Ran Feifei to come back and surround her.
"Why don't you have a good talk with Ran Feifei before she comes back this time?" Zhou Ya looked at her depressed husband with some humor.
No matter how big the business matter is, even if the investment is tens of billions, I have never seen him look so bitter.
"Don't, it will be my responsibility if this matter gets involved. It's not that I don't want to help, but this is not my marriage. What can my aunt do if she doesn't want me to do it?" Yang Dongxu waved his hands quickly.
"Do you want to get married again?"
No!
daughter in law!
This logic is a bit wrong again!
