These days, Ye Yun is looking forward to it, hoping that when she wakes up, she will see a familiar car at the door. When the door opens, Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia will get out.
Unfortunately, hope always fails.
Until the day of the birthday party on the seventh day of the lunar month, relatives and friends came from all walks of life, but no car was seen.
A hanging heart finally hangs to death.
Relatives came one after another to see Little Chuqi. Seeing Little Chuqi's thin state, the rumors that she was not born prematurely were dispelled.
Bags of eggs and brown sugar filled the table, and clothes for Little Chuqi were also piled on the kang.
But she couldn't be happy.
Compared to the quiet inner room, the yard outside the window was bustling with activity——
Several chefs who came to prepare the banquet prepared the ingredients with a clatter, and set up several large pots. The fire was simmering in the stove, and the fish cooked in the pot gave off an alluring aroma.
Qin Xiang'e also boiled a large pot of hot water. In the steaming mist, Aunt Hotan was talking loudly while cooking eggs.
At a banquet for giving birth, the host will hand out eggs before eating.
Those who want to eat eat it on the spot, and those who don’t want to eat put it in their pockets first. There are eight people in a table, and each person is given two, which means that good things come in pairs, which is auspicious.
When hosting banquets locally, we buy the ingredients ourselves and ask a nearby chef who knows how to cook a spoon.
For his daughter's birth banquet, Qin Zheng was rigorous and careful. He booked twelve tables and did everything by himself. He and Gu Jin personally ordered all the ingredients, and even got a dozen or so animals that were bigger than an adult's hand. turtle.
Good ingredients also make the chef happy, and he works with great enthusiasm.
The old chef was in charge of cooking, and the two young men ordered one to prepare the dishes and the other to make simple fried foods. There was a clear division of labor.
As soon as the fried meatballs came out of the pan, they attracted a group of drooling little gluttons.
The mountains were poor, and the children had never had anything good to eat since they were young. Not to mention how greedy they were when they saw this food, the tears dripped down one by one and wet their cotton-padded jackets.
Qin Zheng picked up a plate of fried meatballs and put them on the table next to him expressionlessly.
"Eat."
Several young children looked up at him, swallowing in fear, but did not dare to say a word.
Qin Zheng turned and left.
As soon as he left, the children rushed forward, and their little black hands rushed to reach for the fried meatballs on the plate!
"My mine!"
"Give me one! Give me one!"
"Don't grab, don't grab!"
Gu Jin is also busy entertaining relatives.
Naturally, he is indispensable for such an important occasion. He was not able to attend when his brother got married. If his children don't contribute to the banquet, how can they still be called brothers?
"Qin Zheng, I'll give you a big guy later, how about two hundred?"
Qin Zheng was slightly stunned, "You only paid twenty when I got married. Why did you spend so much money on my child's birth?"
Gu Jin shrugged his shoulders and said mysteriously: "You can think about it yourself?"
Qin Zheng: "What am I thinking about?"
Gu Jin clicked his tongue, stretched out two fingers and said, "I will give you twenty when you get married, and I will give you two hundred when your child holds a banquet. You taste it, you taste it carefully!"
"What do I taste?"
Qin Zheng frowned, a little impatient with his pretentiousness.
well! Gu Jin felt that he was really stupid, so she simply walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice: "That must be because your daughter looks like me. Of course I will spend all my money on my own daughter!"
"..."
Qin Zheng locked his wrist, gritted his teeth and pulled him towards the corner. His tone was calm and very calm: "Come on, come on... Come with me, I promise not to hit you."
"Huh? We won't pick up relatives anymore?"
Bang!
He kicked Gu Jin down the slope.
"I can't kill you!"
…
…
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
As the lively excitement outside spread into the room, Ye Yun quietly looked at the sleeping little Chu Qi, her calm mood not wavering at all.
The house was now empty.
Relatives who came to visit her and their children took a quick look and went outside to find a seat to wait for the dinner to begin.
This aunt, that aunt, and some relatives from her natal family that she didn't know about. Even she herself didn't know that she had so many relatives in Yejiagou.
There are even people she has never met, who call her like a girl and kiss her when they see her.
After the extreme excitement, there is emptiness.
Unfortunately, her mother was not present at the moment when everyone knew she had become a mother.
"young married woman."
The door curtain was lifted, and Qin Zheng walked in with a plate of dishes.
On the plate were the vegetables and fish he carefully selected, with a large white steamed bun on top, just like the plate of food he specially selected for Ye Yun from the banquet on the wedding day.
When Ye Yun saw the plate of dishes, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve.
"Are you hungry? This is what I just picked out. You can eat it first." Qin Zheng bent down and put the food on the kang, and did not forget to tell him: "I still have to go out to entertain relatives. I will come back to accompany you later. When I arrive, Then tell me what you want to eat."
Ye Yun nodded, "Yeah."
Qin Zheng did not get up immediately after putting the dishes away. He glanced at the sleeping Xiao Chuqi, turned around and kissed Ye Yun's forehead gratefully.
He looked deeply at Ye Yun and said with great solemnity: "Daughter-in-law, thank you."
At the end of the day, many people were saying congratulations to him, which made him truly feel the joy of becoming a father.
But he knew that Ye Yun had paid for all of this with half his life.
Ye Yun couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, you poor man, go out and entertain people." She gently pushed Qin Zheng and wanted to stay by herself.
The loneliness hidden in her eyes did not escape Qin Zheng's eyes. Qin Zheng stood by the kang and looked at her with a slightly complicated look.
What do you want to say, but you stop talking.
Finally, he stretched out his hand and gently touched Ye Yun's head. His voice, which had been busy all morning, was now slightly hoarse. He comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be sad. My parents may have been delayed by something important. If they have Kong, I must be reluctant to come see you."
Ye Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "You are overthinking, I have nothing to be sad about."
Qin Zheng: "..."
Can you believe her expression?
"Zhengzi, your friends from the county are here, come out quickly!"
Qin Xiang'e's joyful shouts came from outside.
Ye Yun raised her eyebrows and signaled to Qin Zheng to go out and take a look.
After Qin Zheng lifted his feet and left, she opened the window and saw Chen Zhenxing, Bald Lin and others carrying things into the yard with smiles.
Seeing this, Gu Jin, who had been busy with Qin Zheng early in the morning, chewed a cigarette and shouted at them angrily: "You bastards, you came so late! Why are you slacking off at home? Hurry up and take care of the kids. Come and work!”
Bald Lin and the others laughed.
Behind them were Lin Jiao and Jiang Yuan.
The atmosphere between the two people was a bit strange. Lin Jiao was walking in front, while Jiang Yuan was one step behind her. He was carrying two bags of heavy things and wanted to reach out to help Lin Jiao get something.
As a result, Lin Jiao was very far away from him while carrying her things, as if she was afraid of getting involved with him.
Jiang Yuan was not embarrassed after being rejected. Instead, he pouted and complained to Lin Jiao, with an aggrieved expression on his face like an angry little daughter-in-law.
The distance was too far, and Ye Yun did not hear clearly what Jiang Yuan and Lin Jiao complained about.
But Lin Jiao's reaction of rolling her eyes was so obvious and clear that she made a guess in her mind.
Soon Qin Zheng led them into the house.
Five or six men, Yan Huan, were fat and thin, of different heights. As soon as they entered the house, they crowded the small space.
After all, there was a difference between men and women, so they didn't stay long. They said congratulations to Ye Yun and saw what the sleeping little Chuqi looked like. After a few heartfelt compliments, they consciously put down their things and left the room.
They are all smart people, and they helped Qin Zheng prepare the banquet after going out.
Originally, they thought that they were just guests. Just like their relatives, they could just get out after eating. Bald Lin walked to the door and asked Qin Zheng with a smile which table they were sitting at.
As a result, Qin Zheng kicked him over.
"Which table are you sitting at? Didn't you notice that our family is so busy? Go to work! Go with your relatives!"
Hey guys, one for each table.
Fortunately, Bald Lin and the others were in business and could speak well, so they managed to coax those relatives who didn't even recognize Qin Zheng into laughing.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yun closed the window helplessly, thinking that Qin Zheng really knew how to exploit people.
However, he does not treat Bald Lin and the others as outsiders at all. This is good, as it is conducive to the relationship between their brothers. The appearance of her and the child will not reduce them to Qin Zheng's place where they can only come to give gifts and eat dinner. outsider.
"How are you?"
Lin Jiao stayed in the house.
She was not familiar with this place and didn't know anyone. She couldn't help much if she went out, so she simply stayed in the house with Ye Yun.
Ye Yun turned her head and met Lin Jiao's eyes full of concern.
Lin Jiao had a deep sense of guilt in her eyes. She bit her lip and said with a hint of embarrassment in her tone: "When something happened to you, I went to the provincial capital next door for business and was not in the county. I heard that you almost had a dystocia..."
If she were here, she could help Ye Yun with her own ability.
Ye Yun felt that she felt guilty for no reason, and said calmly: "Why are you sad? This has nothing to do with you. You have no obligation to do anything for me."
Lin Jiao was stunned.
From what she said, it seemed like her friend was acting a little pretentious.
She curled her lips and said dissatisfied: "Okay, okay, it's all my own fault. I just want to make it up to you because I've hurt you before. If you don't appreciate it, forget it."
Yo, I'm still angry.
Ye Yun felt funny in her heart, shook her head, and said helplessly: "Okay, I know what you mean, as long as you have this heart."
Lin Jiao crossed her arms and hummed.
Ye Yun was amused by her angry look. Ye Yun tugged at the corner of her clothes and coaxed softly: "Okay, little miracle doctor Lin, don't be angry with me. I really need to ask you something."
"Oh?" Lin Jiao became interested when she heard what she said.
Soon her face became solemn, perhaps because she thought that the thing that made Ye Yun speak was extraordinary, and her tone became darker: "What big thing do you want to do again?"
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yun gave her a gentle look, stretched out his wrist in front of her, and smiled sweetly: "Can I ask the little miracle doctor to take a look at my body's current recovery status, can it withstand the long journey?"
"..."
