Chapter 387 - dinner, banquet
“Aiya, Tiezi, I haven’t had a good drink with you for a long time. The last time I had such a refreshing drink with you was two years ago. It’s a rare opportunity, we won’t go home tonight if we don’t get drunk.”
“It’s Tiezi, it’s rare for you to come back. Let’s have a good drink today.”
“You went to Beijing to enjoy happiness. You have been there for more than ten years at once. We fellow villagers are very envious. Come, come and drink. Today, we are all drinking you, and we must get you drunk.”
Nuan Nuan just came out of the door of Su’s yard, and before she walked to her parents’ yard, she heard the voices of many people in the yard.
Nuan Nuan suddenly understood that it was rare for her parents to come back once, especially this time her parents and her father-in-law came back together. Everyone was very happy, so they had a drink together.
Nuan Nuan looked down at the big baby who was following her and said, “How many people came to our house for drinks today? Who prepared the meals today?”
The big baby replied seriously, “It was made by the great-grandmother and grandmother, as well as the great-grandfather and grandfather.”
Nuan Nuan raised her eyebrows, “Is there no one else here to help?”
“Yes, there are others who came to help the great-grandmother and grandmother, but I don’t know them.”
Da Wa has never been back to Qianwan Village since he was born, so he doesn’t know any of these relatives in Qianwan Village. Even if he knows that someone is indeed here to help Yu and the others cook this dinner, he doesn’t actually know them. Know who is here to help.
Nuan Nuan also knew very well that her son did not know these people, so she just nodded and didn’t continue to ask her son, anyway, she knew that today’s dinner was not all about exhausting her parents.
The distance between the Su family and the Chen family is not far at all. Even though both of their houses have been expanded a lot now, the distance between the two families has only shortened rather than extended. It is not easy to walk from the door of the Su family to the door of the Chen family. It only takes a minute or two.
After Nuan Nuan asked Dawa if anyone helped her parents cook, they had already walked to the door of Chen’s house. Standing at the door, Nuan Nuan saw several tables of guests in the yard.
Even in the past ten years, Nuan Nuan can recognize that most of the guests sitting in the yard are the uncles of the Chen family, and of course some are about the same age as her father but one generation higher or lower than Chen Tiezheng. relatives.
Of course, because the third master and the seventh master are too old to drink with Chen Tiezheng, that is to say, after Chen Tiezheng has settled down, he will visit the door. In fact, several older elders did not come to this dinner today.
However, Chen Mingqin and the others, Chen Tiechui and the others, and Huang Yunhai from the Huang family, another neighbor of the Chen family, also came over to drink together.
The men were sitting at a table drinking and drinking very happily. The ladies on the other side were also in a cheerful atmosphere. The ladies also drank, and their posture was no weaker than the men next to them.
Nuan Nuan reluctantly took the big baby to her mother’s side, smiled and said hello to the elders present, “Hello, aunties, long time no see.”
“Yo, is this Nuan Nuan?” A female elder sitting across from Yu’s family said happily after seeing Nuan Nuan’s appearance, “You can see that you two are mother and daughter just by looking at them.”
“Yeah, when Nuan Nuan was only a teenager, she didn’t look so much like you from Tie Zi’s family. I didn’t expect that Nuan Nuan would not look much different from you after she became a mother?”
“But even so, your mother and daughter look so real, you can’t tell their age at all. Nuan Nuan is almost thirty years old, right? In the end, it looks like they are less than twenty years old. “
“Yeah, Nuan Nuan doesn’t look much different from what she looked like when she married Aqiao. She doesn’t look like the mother of six children at all.”
“It’s just like the Tiezi family. When the Tiezi family was born Nuan Nuan, didn’t they tell their age? They still look like a young girl. I don’t know how envious we were at the beginning.”
“Yeah, we were very envious of Tie Zi’s family back then. We had so many children, but as a result, the figure was not out of shape at all, and the face was still very good-looking, and it looks even better now.”
“Tie Zi’s family, you have really enjoyed yourself all these years. Look at your current appearance, who can tell that you are almost sixty years old? You look as good-looking as you are in your thirties or forties.”
“It’s from the Tiezi family, you’ve really enjoyed yourself all these years…”
When these elders saw Nuan Nuan, the topic naturally shifted to the issue of women’s appearance and maintenance, especially Yu’s and Nuan Nuan, who were already good-looking, but now they look older than their actual age. Young, everyone’s topic is on them.
Of course, everyone also noticed that Zhou’s face, who was sitting on the other side of Yu’s, also looked very young, but it was not as exaggerated as Yu’s.
Zhou Shi is almost seventy years old, but now she looks like she is in her fifties, she doesn’t look old at all. It looks very good-looking, and her pampered manner is also very good these years, which makes people look at it and can’t tell that she suffered a lot when she was young.
“Aunt Su is enjoying herself.”
“Yes, Aunt Su has not only raised Aqiao, but now Shishi is back. The most important thing is that Nuan Nuan has added six children to the old Su family, so many children have been added all at once.”
“The luck of the old Su family is here.”
Everyone drank and ate happily, but most people still cared about the life of Zhou and Yu in Beijing, like asking what the capital looked like.
In the past ten years, every time the Su family and the Chen family came back, everyone would ask them what Beijing was like, and they were also concerned about what their life in Beijing was like.
Everyone is very excited now, and would like to ask more about Beijing. Of course, the most important thing is to want to get some light, get lucky or something.
Nuan Nuan watched everyone chatting with Yu and Zhou. She, a house girl who has lived in a house for many years with a slight social barrier, really couldn’t talk with them.
Nuan Nuan had a polite smile on her face, and the big baby had already returned to his grandfather’s place to eat together. Now Yu’s and the others are taking two girls to eat together, and the rest of the boys were taken by their grandfather. Grandpa took it.
Because Nuan Nuan didn’t come back, the children also had to eat and no one took them, so when everyone ate and drank, they directly hugged the children and ate together.
That is to say, Erwa and Suwanwan can already eat by themselves. Even Sanwa, a two-and-a-half-year-old baby, sat beside his grandfather, eating with his own bowl and listening to the elders chatting.
The big baby who brought Nuan Nuan also went to his grandfather’s table. Nuan Nuan was sitting next to Yu and didn’t know what to talk to everyone, so she smiled all the time, bowed her head and ate seriously. .
Nuan Nuan started eating. She was really hungry, so she stopped talking to the elders and ate seriously. Occasionally, she would give Niuniu, who was in Yu’s arms, a bite to cook. Soft and sticky meat.
“By the way, from Tiezi’s family, you usually come back during Qingming or Chinese New Year. Why did you come back this time?” Madam Chen Tiechui asked in confusion while eating.
“Yeah, I was surprised when I heard that you guys came back today. I’m still wondering, it’s not Qingming or Chinese New Year, why did you guys come back? And even Nuan Nuan came back.” Another female elder Also very suspicious.
“Yeah, not to mention I didn’t react. These children from Nuan Nuan’s family also went to school, right? It’s been a month since school started, and the children of Nuan Nuan’s family haven’t gone to school yet?”
“Nuan Nuan hasn’t come back to Qianwan Village since she got married. I heard that A Qiao went to the army to become a military doctor and couldn’t come back casually, and Nuan Nuan couldn’t come back often if she wanted to accompany A Qiao. Why is Nuan Nuan this time? Nuan came back with the child? Ah Qiao doesn’t have time to come back?”
“Yes, yes, didn’t Ah Qiao want to be a military doctor? I heard that our country is fighting with Vietnam next door. Is it because of this that Ah Qiao went to the battlefield?”
“Huh? Do doctors have to go to the battlefield too?” asked an elder who didn’t understand.
“Of course, being a doctor also has to go to the battlefield. Ah Qiao is a military doctor, not an ordinary doctor, so he can go to the battlefield to save people during a war.”
“Is it true, Nuan Nuan? Yunnan is fighting with Vietnam, so Ah Qiao was transferred back to the battlefield, right?” Chen Tiechui’s mother-in-law asked with concern.
Nuan Nuan nodded helplessly and said, “Aqiao is a doctor. If he goes to the battlefield, he can save a lot of soldiers. And Aqiao’s kung fu is also very good. He can go to the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, which is the realization of his life value. .”
“Oh, we illiterate people don’t understand what you mean, but we also know that Aqiao is a hero, a good man.” Several female elders said with a smile.
“So warm, Aqiao is on the battlefield, won’t you go back to the northeast?”
“Yeah, Ah Qiao went to the battlefield and came back to our south side. Don’t you need to go back to the northeast side?”
“You follow Aqiao to the northeast, and every time you have time, you go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with your parents and your brother. Counting the time, you haven’t come back to our village for ten years. Ah. If you go back to the Northeast this time, won’t you come back for ten years again?”
Nuan Nuan shook his head and said, “No, Aqiao has been transferred back to the Southern Military Region, so we will all live on the southern side in the future.”
“But Ah Qiao is going to serve in the army after all, so our family must also live with Ah Qiao. We can’t always live in Qianwan Village, we will go to Ah Qiao’s army. Live with him.”
Several female elders nodded understandingly, “Yes, yes, yes.”
“That means you all moved back.”
“That is to move to Yunnan. During the holidays, I will often bring my children back to see my parents, as well as my grandma.” Nuan Nuan smiled.
“Huh? What do you mean, Tiezi and the others have also moved back?” Madam Chen Tiechui was surprised, then looked at Yu and asked, “Tiezi’s family, you guys have moved back too? Not going back to Beijing?”
Yu nodded and said, “Our hometown is here, we are getting older, and we know what it means to return to the roots. We have been living in the village since then, and we can’t just mess around with the younger generation.”
“Okay, it’s good for you all to go back to the village. It’s okay for young people to work hard outside, but we’re all old and living with young people can’t do anything. We might as well go back to our hometown and live here.”
“Yeah, yeah…” The elders were very experienced.
Qianwan Village has developed very well in recent years. Young people from the same generation as Nuan Nuan, or the same age as Chen Lieyang, or even a few years younger than them, are particularly promising.
For example, Jinjinbao and the others were all admitted to university, and some of them were not admitted to university but they also learned a skill. All of them went out of Qianwan Village to develop their calligraphy career.
Now most of the young people in Qianwan Village are young and promising. They are all very capable. Even the worst offenders have bought a house in Shenzhen or Guangzhou.
So these young people make money and buy a house, and they want to take their parents to live in the city, so that their parents can also become city people. In this case, they don’t have to make their parents envious of those city people. .
It turned out to be very beautiful, but Chen Tiezheng and his generation are really few people who have read books, even the Chen family in Qianwan Village once established a private school, but they really didn’t study well. several.
Everyone is almost illiterate, and they have lived in the countryside for decades, and their habits are incompatible with those in the city. All of a sudden, my sons and daughters took over to live in the city, and they still had friction with many city people.
Of course, many urbanites today don’t actually look down on country folks as much as later generations, but those who did well in Qianwan Village bought houses and the communities they bought must also live in those urbanites who did well in the city. Their living habits are really completely different from those of the country people, and they look at the country people with contempt from above.
Therefore, the elders who were taken by their children to live in the city had a lot of friction with the people in the city. Even they didn’t like to grow flowers in their own homes, but growing vegetables or something would cause the neighbors to laugh at them. .
And they have been busy all their lives, and even if they are old, they need to be busy to make themselves comfortable. As a result, when they arrived in the city, they didn’t have to do anything all of a sudden, and they had a nanny to cook, which really made them panic.
So these people lived with their children for a short time, and soon moved back to Qianwan Village.
In Qianwan Village, they can do whatever they want, and no one will laugh at them. How busy they should be, they won’t feel uncomfortable because they are too busy.
It was because they used to live with their children in the city that they understood Yu and Zhou very well, and felt that they might have been in a similar state to them when they were in Beijing.
However, in fact, Yu and Zhou also need to plant one or two acres of land in Beijing, and they also need to take care of the various fruit trees, flowers and plants in the yard. Moreover, the place where they live is still in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is also in the countryside, so there is really not that much difference, and they have not experienced the kind of collision between the city and the country.
