Changping Village.
After learning about the sugar noodles, when little Yaya washed the Nine Dynasties, Yang Huazhong didn't even go to the old house to invite Mr. Tan, but only invited Lao Yangtou.
As a result, Lao Yangtou drank a few cups of wine, and as a result, he showed disrespect for Tan by making insinuations in front of everyone at the dinner table.
Soon, they arrived at Xiaoyaya Banyue Wine, and after receiving the profound lessons from the previous two times, Yang Huazhong did not go to the old house to invite him at all this time, and asked Yang Yongzhi to send a message to Lao Yangtou.
The meaning is obvious. If the old man wants to come, he can come by himself. If he doesn't want to come, just don't expect him to pick him up.
Yang Huazhong was completely disappointed with the two elders. In the past, a big hat of filial piety was heavy on his head. Now, he has seen through it and seen it away. He no longer wants to restrain himself for these false names and other things, nor can he Tie the family down.
Old house, east room.
When Lao Yangtou and Mr. Tan heard the news from Yang Yongzhi, they were very angry.
Tan jumped up from the bed like an irritable lion on the spot, and sternly questioned Yang Yongzhi who came to deliver the message: "Forget it if you don't call me, I just pretend that I didn't raise him, a white-eyed bastard like him, and now he even asks your father He is not even welcome? He is a disabled person in a wheelchair. He is giving such an insincere invitation just because he doesn’t want your father to go! Yongzhi, go and tell your third uncle that we are not rare and that his family is missing. We won’t starve to death even after a banquet!”
Yang Yongzhi scratched his head and said, "Nai, I'm only responsible for bringing the message to you, not for sending it back. My errand is done, so I'll leave first."
After saying these words, he slipped away with oil on his feet.
In the east room behind her, Tan's hysterical roar erupted, and everything within reach of her fingers was thrown to the ground. During this period, there were also sighs from Old Yangtou.
"Okay, even the third child doesn't recognize us. Now we are really helpless. Old lady, don't cry. It's easy to find relief. Let's go to the back of the village together sometime. By the river, something about a fierce man..."
Maybe it was an angry remark out of anger, or maybe it was an inflammatory remark out of anger but without loss of reason. In short, after Old Yangtou finished speaking, he found an excuse to push the wheelchair out of the east room and went Relax in the village.
I plan to tell the other old men in the village about Yang Huazhong's attitude in an exaggerated way, so as to show that "the road is uneven and others will trample on it".
Unknowingly, I arrived under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village. From a distance, I saw the courtyard door of Yang Huazhong's house open, with an endless stream of guests, and children playing on the road outside the door.
The aroma of vegetables mixed with the aroma of wine drifted across the pond, penetrated into the old Yangtou's nose, and aroused his greed.
The thief wanted to go to the third room to have a drink, but he was too embarrassed to save face, so he sat in a wheelchair and rolled around under the old maple tree.
Suddenly someone called him: "Dad, why are you here?"
It was Yang Huamei. She came from the road of Lao Wang's house, followed by Dabai and Xiaohei.
Little Yaya was born on July 16th, and there was a full moon celebration on August 16th. The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school in the town had a holiday, so Xiaohei also returned to the village.
Now I am going with Yang Huamei to my third uncle's house to give full moon gifts and eat full moon wine.
At Yang Huamei's signal, Big White and Little Black stepped forward to say hello to Lao Yangtou, shouting "Gah Gong" and "Gah Gong".
Out of curiosity, the two boys rubbed Lao Yang's wheelchair with a look of novelty on their faces.
Old Yang Tou was talking to Yang Huamei: "I'm going to your third brother's house, Mei'er, are you going too?"
Yang Huamei nodded happily: "Da'an is a father again. My grandniece is one month old today. As an aunt, I naturally want to go and see her. Dad, let's go there together!"
Old Yangtou nodded quickly.
Xiao Hei and Da Bai rushed to push the wheelchair. Yang Huamei saw that Da Bai was lame and was a little worried that he pushed Lao Yang's head into the pond, so she told Da Bai: "Let Xiao Hei push it."
Dabai was unhappy and said, "Why can't my brother push me if he can push me?"
Yang Huamei said: "Mom is afraid that you will be tired. Your brother is dark and strong. How can we let him do these strenuous tasks and be so gentle and polite?"
"A gentle man is a handsome man, right?" Dabai asked again. The twelve-year-old boy's height has reached Yang Huamei's ears, and his voice is also changing, but his brain is still like that of a seven or eight-year-old boy.
Yang Huamei knew that this was what she heard in the play, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her hand and stroked Dabai's head, "Yes, Siwen is a handsome man."
The four people, old and young, arrived at the entrance of Yang Huazhong's yard together. It happened that brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou were attending to guests in the yard. There were several tables in the middle of the yard, and the guests who arrived early had already taken their seats.
Seeing Old Yangtou and Yang Huamei coming in together, especially Old Yangtou's face as usual, smiling and looking very happy, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou looked at each other.
Yang Huazhou said in a low voice: "Our father is a camel, so we can't be too nice to him. If you are too nice to him, then take Qiao and show him off, and everything will be fine."
Yang Huazhong said: "You go over and receive the reception for me. Please remind me if you have something to say. Don't go back and drink a few glasses of wine and use the strength of the wine to curse others. No one can stand it!"
Yang Huazhou grinned: "Third brother, don't worry, I will make it clear to our father. If he wants to scold my unfilial mother again in front of relatives and friends like last time, I will beat him face to face and let him go." He can’t even get off the stage!”
…
The banquet was finally about to begin, and with the precedent of the fifth-room daughter-in-law coming over last time, Yang Huazhong specifically asked Yang Huazhou to bring seafood back from Qing'an County to replenish the food for Xiao Yaya's full moon wine.
Some local squires and petty officials found out that the daughter of Mr. Yang's family in Hanlin Academy, Yang Da'an, was celebrating her first birthday. In addition, the daughter was the niece of the general and his wife, so they sent congratulatory gifts one after another.
Therefore, today's full moon banquet was extremely sumptuous. The people in Yang Huazhong's courtyard were entertaining relatives and friends from this side of the family, and they borrowed the large courtyard of the Luo family next door to set up a few tables to entertain those who came from outside to congratulate them.
Yang Yongxian originally arranged to have a drink in the yard of his home, but when the banquet started, he discovered that he had sneaked to the Luo family's yard next door to have a drink.
"It seems that our eldest brother is suitable for taking the merit test to become an official. Look, he didn't even win the exam, but he already went to the next door yard..."
Yang Yongqing laughed and joked with Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi.
Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi just laughed. Everyone knew what Yang Yongxian was thinking.
However, even though everyone has not studied much, they understand a truth.
The help and support between people in this world is, to put it bluntly, an exchange of benefits. If someone helps you get a convenience in the yamen, they have to weigh the benefits they can get from you.
For a scholar, no matter how hard he scratches his head, it is useless. He must first pass the Juren exam. If he cannot pass the Juren exam, he will not be able to cross this threshold. It is useless even if he scratches his head!
