Tian Chunyan thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, the banquet will be held tomorrow, and I will take some time to go there with the boss."
Seeing that everyone's chat had come to an end, Zhang Zheng hurriedly said, "When you eat, the soup must be hot, otherwise it will be cold."
Kuroki has been ignoring the content of the chat between several people.
All his attention now was on the pork belly chicken in the bowl.
After one bite, your mouth is filled with soup, which makes you extremely satisfied.
But after all, he started too late. It felt like the food on the table had been swept away just after he had eaten something.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal, and after finishing the meal, they went home.
…
On the second day, because there was a banquet to be held, the whole family got up very early.
The first thing Yun Cuihe did after getting up was to make breakfast for the whole family.
Heimu followed Chu Yue to the county town some time ago. Although the brothers Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan did not have a master to guide them, they did not stop practicing all at once.
Therefore, the two brothers started practicing in the courtyard early. Lu Xinghe also got up very early and watched the brothers practice.
I didn't pay attention last time when I came back. This time I took a closer look and found that the two younger brothers actually had a lot of heads.
After practicing every day for several months, my skin became darker, but my body became much stronger.
This is a good sign.
Usually when Chu Yue was at home, when the brothers were halfway through practicing, she would join in the fun and ask Heimu to teach her some self-defense techniques.
Because she had something to do at home today, she got dressed and went to the kitchen to help.
After the family had breakfast, the eldest uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle all came to help.
Since I have a large family, I don’t need to ask outsiders for help when hosting a banquet at home, and my family can all arrange it properly.
Although Zhao Guiqin and Tian Chunyan usually make trouble for the family, they are good at directing things at critical times.
Who chops firewood, who lights the fire, who chops vegetables, who does the cooking, who boils water and makes tea, the arrangements are clear, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.
With two sisters-in-law arranging things, and Jiang Xiuqin and three brothers helping out, Yun Cuihe had some free time and went to arrange things in the courtyard.
Because the yard at home could only accommodate five sets of tables and chairs, she arranged for Hei Mu and Lu Dagui to use the borrowed tables and chairs to set up five tables on the flat ground in front of the house, and also placed some melon seeds and peanuts on the tables.
These were all bought from the town yesterday so that the guests could have fun before the meal.
Not long after, people from the village came over one after another to pay their respects, and then they were eating melon seeds and chatting in groups inside and outside the courtyard, which was very lively.
Lu Tiesheng no longer pestered Zhang Zheng to play chess today, but stood at the door, accepting the compliments of several old brothers. Zhang Zheng couldn't bear to look at the intoxicated look on his face.
Wang Xuelan was also pestered by several old sisters asking questions, mostly asking what Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan were doing now, whether the marriage had been arranged, and some even had their thoughts on Chu Wenzhu, who was six years old this year.
Wang Xuelan's answer was usually that the child was still young, so there was no need to worry, and she couldn't be the head of the third family's family, so she was excused one by one.
Those old ladies didn't care how old she was, and kept recommending her grandchildren of the same age.
Brothers Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan were not idle either. They had to take back the cups from which the guests drank tea and wash them before using them again. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough teacups at home.
Lu Xinghe was chatting wordlessly with several prominent elders in the clan. Although his expression showed nothing, in his heart he was extremely reluctant to participate in such an activity.
Chu Yue saw Lu Xinghe's displeasure, so she brought Zhang Zheng's chessboard to help him out.
"Do any of the elders know chess?"
Those people shook their heads.
"Won't."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "My master and my father both know how to play. How about letting them show off their skills to some elders?"
There is no entertainment here. Even though I don’t understand chess, I still feel fresh after watching a game. Several people nodded.
"become."
Chu Yue placed the chessboard on the table and looked up outside the courtyard.
"Master, master, it's not lunch time yet, come on to the next round."
Zhang Zheng wanted to refuse, but how could Lu Tiesheng let go of such a good opportunity to perform? Now Chu Yue has set the stage for him and is just waiting for him to come on stage.
Lu Tiesheng laughed, took his arm and entered the yard.
"Doctor Zhang, let's play the next round." He raised his index finger, "Just one round."
Zhang Zheng had no choice but to follow him and sit down at the table.
The two sat opposite each other and began to fight on the chessboard.
Chu Yue glanced in the direction of Lu Xinghe and saw Lu Xinghe quietly giving a thumbs up in her direction.
Yesterday, he watched Lu Xinghe and Zhang Zheng play chess, and in the evening he drew a chess game and studied it for a long time. Lu Tiesheng still gained something. At least he was not as passive in the chess game today as he was yesterday.
Zhang Zheng looked at him in surprise.
"Brother, you have made great progress."
Lu Tiesheng's face was full of pride.
"That's right, I put a lot of thought into it."
"It's not just a matter of thought." Wang Xuelan, who was chatting with everyone, stretched her neck and interjected in Lu Tiesheng's direction, "Last night, in order to study this thing, I lit an oil lamp and muttered for half a night, and I almost fell asleep. I can't even sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Lu Tiesheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Am I not thinking that my poor chess skills will lead to the stupid bird flying first?"
Several clan elders around said with a smile, "You are much better than us. We can't even recognize all the words above. At least you can compete with Doctor Zhang."
After listening to the words of these clan elders, Lu Tiesheng suddenly felt that he was capable again.
This time, although he still ended in defeat, he was obviously much better than before.
At least Zhang Zheng didn't have to rack his brains to defeat him and narrowly won.
When it was almost time to eat, Yun Cuihe's brother-in-law and parents came. Because the mules were placed on the farm, the Yun Dabao brothers had been busy with things in the village for the past two days, so they left their own homes for the time being. My parents took me to Zhuangzi to stay for a while.
Nowadays, although Zhuangzi is not busy, he can't stay away from her. They are only in their thirties or forties now, and they can't be separated from each other for a long time. It is most suitable to take the father, mother and daughter-in-law to live together during the slack season every year.
From Shuiyue Village to Banpo Village, it takes less than half an hour to harness a mule to a cart.
"Dad, mother, eldest and second brothers, eldest and second sisters-in-law, why are you all here?" Yun Cuihe was surprised at first, and then quickly stepped forward to help Li Qiulian, "Are your legs and feet still comfortable?"
Li Qiulian smiled and patted her hand.
"Mom is fine. Thanks to you, I came here by mule cart. Now that the weather is warm, I can still walk a few steps with my legs."
The family has been treating Lao Han's legs according to Chu Yue's method. Although her walking is not as good as ordinary people's now, it is much easier than before.
