Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

There were a total of thirteen tables occupied at noon. It was not considered a big event. For a large event, thirty tables would be seated, and they were divided into two rounds.

We invited relatives who were close friends and relatives, and people from the village who used to hold wedding banquets to express their favors also came. It happened to be another Sunday, and the people who came were all bringing their families. If there were many people in the family, one table could only Two families sat down.

There are three tables in the main room, and the others are placed in the yard. There are not so many tables and chairs at home, so they are all borrowed from the village. This is also a tradition. When someone is doing something, everyone will take the initiative to prepare the tables and chairs without asking. Being a very particular person, he would clean it in advance and take the initiative to move it over.

Lin Chengcai sat at the main table with the elders in the village, exchanging glasses with others. The younger ones all held wine glasses to toast him, and drank a lot of wine in one sip, until his face was red and his voice was louder. If you don't, there's no need to shout. That's called excitement.

Zhang Simin and her wives were sitting outside. From time to time, she would turn her head to take a look. The aunt at the same table said, "You should sit inside too."

Zhang Simin smiled and waved her hand, "I don't drink. Why sit here? Let them drink slowly."

Shen Xiaojun hadn't eaten at home for a long time, and she thought about this very much. When someone spoke to her, she would just reply and focus on eating.

The Lin family's banquet was well organized, with whole chickens and fishes served on the table, steamed pork belly, red-wrapped elbows, roasted white stuffed with sand, fried and steamed crispy pork and tiger eggs, etc.

Cold dishes are served first, then steamed dishes, then stir-fried dishes and soups, and the last dish is sweet white fungus soup.

Children get full quickly and get off the table before the dishes are served. Only adults wait for the last dish.

At the banquet, Shen Xiaojun loved steamed crispy pork and braised pork. When she was pregnant with Yaoyao, she went back to her parents' house and was very greedy. She could finish ten slices of braised pork in a bowl by herself, and her mother specially gave it to her. Set aside a bowl.

Of course, now that there is enough oil and water, she will feel tired if she eats too much, but that doesn't stop her from loving it.

The noodles made in my hometown are delicious, but the dishes I order from restaurants outside don’t taste like this, and I can’t make them taste like this myself. It’s just so weird.

After all the tables outside were dispersed, the tables in the main room were still eating and chatting animatedly.

Lin Zhe's face was red from drinking, and Yaoyao went to find his father, who held him in his arms and kissed him sweetly. He looked like a good son, but he disliked this little person so much that he almost cried.

The three tables in the main room ate for more than an hour. The dishes on the tables were brought into the kitchen and heated twice before being scattered.

After all the guests had left and the house was tidied up inside and outside, Lin Chengcai called everyone over to sit down and hold a family meeting.

He first went into his bedroom, took out a bag, opened the bag and took out a small notebook and handed it to Lin Zhe.

"How much this house cost is written down here. You two can take a look."

Lin Zhe didn't answer, "No need to look, I know it well."

"Let's see, there's still some money left."

As he said this, Lin Chengcai took out a pile of money wrapped in a red plastic bag from his bag, "Here's what's left, here you go."

Lin Zhe didn't want it and pushed it back. There was no reason to take back what was given. "We had a banquet at home and spent money on it. This money should be regarded as the money for the banquet."

Lin Chengcai said: "I accepted the favor. I did the math and found that the money spent on the banquet is just enough. There is no need to spend extra money."

"Favors must be repaid."

Lin Chengcai smiled and said: "Your mother and I have given you a lot of gifts over the years. The last time we had a banquet was when you got married. How many years has it been? This time it's time for them to pay us back."

Sun Hui twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Oh dad, the youngest is not bad at all, just take it! Isn't this house still short of furniture? It might not be enough to buy furniture with this money. !”

Then he turned to Lin Zhe and said, "You are all used to living in good houses. I heard that we are moving to a bigger yard, right? Even though we don't live in the house very often, we can't arrange it carelessly. We can't build such a good house. The furniture in the room is sparsely arranged, so it’s easy to confuse.”

After she finished speaking, she went to talk to Yuan Fenfang, "Do you think she is the sister-in-law?"

Yuan Fangfang seemed to have just reacted: "Ah! What did you say?"

Sun Hui repeated it again.

Yuan Fenfang: "It's okay. My parents live at home. It mainly depends on what my parents think."

Sun Hui pursed her lips, feeling that Yuan Fenfang was cunning. Knowing that the youngest family was rich, she always favored the youngest in everything.

Lin Chengcai waved his hand, "There is no need to buy furniture. I didn't hire a carpenter to make any furniture. I hired a carpenter to make it slowly." Then he pushed the money directly in front of Shen Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, take it, the youngest gave a total of 350 , there are still six thousand, three hundred and fifty eight dollars left, and they are all here."

Shen Xiaojun glanced at Lin Zhe, smiled and pushed the money over: "Just keep it, think of it as filial piety money that we gave to our parents in advance for the New Year, and we won't give it back after the New Year."

The old couple looked at each other, and Zhang Simin said: "That's okay, you don't have to give me any money in the past two years. We have everything in our hometown and can't spend anything."

Shen Xiaojun nodded.

Sun Hui said to Lin Xu in private: "The youngest and his wife are so rich, they only give three thousand a year!"

Lin Xu said impatiently: "How many thousand do we give each year?"

Sun Hui stopped talking. She gave her five hundred during the Chinese New Year last year, and even less in previous years.

He muttered: "We are not as rich as them..."

She knew that Lin Xu didn't like hearing this, so she spoke very quietly.

Lin Xu was too lazy to pay attention to her, thinking that his mother was criticizing him by saying this, because he thought he had given her less filial piety money during the New Year.

Isn’t it just three thousand?Give it to them this year!

Tomorrow is Monday, those who go to school have to go to school, and those who work have to go to work, so they didn’t stay much and left in the afternoon.

There was a lot of food left over from the banquet. Shen Xiaojun took an elbow and a bowl of pork back and gave them to her parents to try. The couple asked Shen Xiaojun to bring a gift, but they didn't go back.

Yuan Fenfang and Lin Ru also brought some steaming bowls, and Sun Hui took away almost all the rest. If Lin Ru hadn't seen it and asked her to leave some for her parents, she could have finished it by herself.

On the way back, Lin Ru chatted with Shen Xiaojun, "Have you seen the clothes Lin Lan and Lin Ning are wearing? None of the pants or clothes fit, and the clothes are as short as the elbows. I think they are all clothes from several years ago, kid." He's already growing up very fast, so he didn't even mention buying two pairs for his children, and those shoes with holes in his toes. They said that the second son has made a lot of money in the past two years, and has bought a lot of houses, but he just can't bear to give them to his children. flower."

Lin Ru shook her head as she spoke, "I saw several children playing together today. The two sisters were the worst dressed and looked timid. I asked Lin Lan if her father had beaten her and her sister. She said she was beaten, and last semester she said it was because the teacher visited her home."
