Chapter 429 Dinner
They couldn't explain why, after all, the whole village got a little rich.
Those poor days are a thing of the past. Now we can enjoy the best food and clothing and have no worries about food and clothing.
Even the girls and boys in Lianglin Village are overwhelmed by the heat...
It’s just after the New Year, and I’ve seen matchmakers come to the village many times.
Some people came to see girls, while others came to introduce partners to boys. Every household had some happy events.
In January, the weather was still cold, but Zhou Mingzhi and Xu Lingshan's wedding room was so warm that they would sweat if they wore anything thicker.
Because she was afraid that the bride would catch a cold, Liu lit two braziers in the house.
Their wedding room is still the same house, but the interior decoration has been completely new, and all the furniture and beds are new.
Zhou Mingjie's bed had been moved to the small courtyard by Boss Zhou and his men, along with Zhou Mingyuan's bed.
When the two little guys learned about this, they were very excited. Not only did they have a new house to live in, but the two buddies could live in the same room and could play or study together.
Zhou Laoer and Zhu tidied up their son's clothes and smelly shoes, and their room instantly became much cleaner.
"You know what, Sandan has quite a lot of clothes and toys. Once we clear them out, we'll have somewhere to put our things. Next time the guys from the porcelain shop send us porcelain vases, we'll ask them to bring a few good ones so we can grow flowers and other things."
Zhou Laoer leaned sweetly on his wife's shoulder, imagining their bright future.
"Okay, do whatever you want. Once the bad boy's stuff is moved away, the air in the room smells better, haha."
"That's right. I'll ask my daughter to bring some spices. When we come back from work, we can smell the fragrance as soon as we lie down in the house. It will make us feel comfortable."
"Haha, okay, go ahead."
When Zhou Mingshu heard his mother ask for some flower residue, he quickly packed some for her.
A Niang is already 30 years old, but her current lifestyle is still like that of a little girl. She is getting younger and younger.
After seeing off the guests who came to congratulate him, Zhou Mingzhi came out from the inner room with his bride Xu Lingshan.
Liu asked her to go into the house and rest, after all, she was tired after a whole day, but Xu Lingshan was unwilling to do so, saying that she wanted to help clean up the table.
There are quite a lot of guests today, so there are many tables.
Although a few close neighbors and relatives stayed behind to help clean up.
But it was still too cold in winter and it got dark quickly. It wasn’t long after we started cleaning up that it was dark.
Old Mrs. Zhou put some leftovers in a basin and asked the children to take them home and stew them. After sending everyone away, she closed the door.
"Xiao Lian Cui Fen, don't rush to wash the dishes. Hurry up and heat up the dinner so that the children can eat some first so that they can go back to bed early."
"Oh, okay, let's go now."
The two sisters-in-law put down their work and hurried to the kitchen to light a fire and heat up the meal.
Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu worked together to move the round tables and leaned them against the wall. After cleaning up, they started to move the stools.
Zhou Mingzhi and Xu Lingshan also helped to move the stools, their little hands were frozen red.
"Brother, you should take my sister-in-law to the kitchen for a while. It's warm in the kitchen and too cold in the yard. My sister-in-law's coat is too thin. What if she gets frozen?"
The two girls pushed Xu Lingshan and stopped her from working, and coaxed her into the kitchen.
"If you really can't stay idle, help Auntie and the others cook."
It was warm during the day, and the wind started to blow at night, carrying some broken snowflakes.
"I think it may snow tonight. Third brother, take Dazhi to the vegetable garden to dig up more radishes and cabbages to prevent them from being buried by the snow and being difficult to get when the time comes."
"Okay, we'll go now." The door that had just been closed was opened again.
Zhou Laosan and Zhou Mingzhi, one carrying a shovel and the other carrying a basket, went to the vegetable garden next door.
The eldest brother-in-law and Zhou Mingqin took their three younger brothers and sisters to wash chopsticks and wine glasses. They washed them three times before moving the clean utensils to the woodshed.
"When you're done, go inside. It's too cold outside. You'd better avoid getting frostbite."
Shen Yang held Zhou Mingqin's arm and said something. Zhou Mingqin, smiling, took her younger brother and sister to the main room.
He stayed in the yard and continued washing dishes with Boss Zhou and the others.
"Dad, Uncle, let me help you wash the dishes. Let's finish them earlier so we can eat earlier."
"Haha, okay. Then please add some more hot water for us. This water feels a little cold."
Boss Zhou was very pleased and asked Shen Yang to add some hot water.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi were also very quick in their movements. The tabletops were leaning against several walls, and the chairs were stacked one on top of another, forming quite a few piles.
The two were very cold, so after finishing their work they hurried back to the house to warm up.
"If it snows, we won't be able to go out for four or five days. We will have to wait until the snow melts before anyone can come and pick up these things."
"That's right. We chose a really good day today. The sun is so bright during the day that it warms people up all over. Who would have known that the weather would change at night? If my sister-in-law came over tomorrow, who knows how difficult it would be."
"That's right, this shows that God is satisfied with our marriage."
The two girls were chattering in the room, and soon someone started calling for dinner.
Because we were afraid that Lingshan would feel embarrassed, we divided the meal into two tables, with the adults sitting at one table and the children at another. This way they would be more comfortable.
Everyone no longer has to squeeze together, which is quite convenient.
Xu Lingshan has been to Zhou's home many times, but this is the first time she has sat down to eat as the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. She was quite reserved and even ate from the two plates in front of her, not taking anything from the dishes further away.
Zhou Mingshu saw this and considerately picked up some food for her.
"Sister-in-law, please eat more. You are too thin. There is no flesh on your face. Look at us, we all have plump faces. Grandma and the others say we are little piglets that love to eat."
When Zhou Mingshu said this, everyone at the table started laughing.
"That's right, sister-in-law, you are too thin. This is not good. You won't have the strength to walk in the future. If someone bullies you, you won't have the strength to fight back."
As soon as Zhou Mingjie opened his mouth, he was hit hard by Zhou Mingqi.
"You think your sister-in-law is you, and you always fight with others. Just eat your meal."
In short, their table is just like feeding pigs.
Three large pots of stew and four or five small plates were not enough to eat. After a few chopsticks per person, only the juice was left in the pot.
Zhou Mingqin shook her head, took the empty bowl and continued to serve food to the pot.
Xu Lingshan, who was sitting nearby, opened her eyes wide. She really didn't expect that there was still something in the pot.
