NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10, Too Fighting
He had just killed a pig today, and there were distinguished guests from the Zhang family. The dinner was quite decent, so decent that he could temporarily forget that the Zhang family was still a poor family.
There are boiled fish, three kinds of pig, and stewed radish with large pork bones. They are all made by my uncle’s chef. Three hard vegetables fill three large pots, which is comparable to the Chinese New Year.
When Zhang Xuan sat down, his eyes were green and shining, and he almost cried with joy. What a country and a beautiful woman. I don't like them all at the moment, but I just love eating meat!
While eating, Ruan Xiuqin said to Zhang Ping: "You ask Ouyang Yong's birth time tomorrow, and I will go to town to give you a horoscope."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping said excitedly: "Don't waste this money, we already had fortune telling in town yesterday."
Aunt Zhang Ru smiled and said, "Bazi is still necessary, otherwise how could I marry you?"
Zhang Ping knew that she had been stupid again. She lowered her head and ate quickly without saying anything, but her heart felt as densely sweet as drinking honey.
The next morning, Ouyang Zhu, his wife and Ouyang Yong came to Zhang's house with happy faces, and a matchmaker came with them.
Although Zhang Xuan was from the countryside, he had gone to school early in his previous life and had no idea about the wedding and funeral customs in the countryside. At this time, he could only sit in the corner of the main room, eating pumpkin seeds and listening to their conversation.
The Ouyang family was very anxious and wished they could get the wedding done before the Chinese New Year. It was obvious that the family was quite satisfied with their eldest sister.
But in a hurry, with aunt Zhang Ru here, all the wedding procedures are indispensable, such as the matchmaker's proposal, engagement and marriage, all have to go through according to the rules.
What her old man meant was: The Zhang family is in a bit of trouble now, but they must not be looked down upon, otherwise others will think it is selling their daughter.
Ouyang Zhu is the director of the village, and he naturally knows the rules when dealing with people, so he finally accepted Zhang Ru's proposal. In the end, he generously stated that the Ouyang family really liked the girl Zhang Ping and would not be looked down upon when it came to the betrothal gift.
When it came to the bride price, Ruan Xiuqin did not dare to open her mouth, but she only asked that it should not be less than 2,000 yuan, because there were no examples of less than 2,000 yuan in the surrounding areas. She couldn't cheat on her daughter by setting up a business that cost less than 2,000 yuan, otherwise she would be bitten by the tongue.
Ruan Xiuqin's requirements were extremely low, and in the final analysis, she still had no confidence.
She knew something in her mind: Lao Zhang's family was well-known as a hard-working family in the village, while Ouyang's family was not to mention top-notch in these ten miles and eight villages, but it was still considered to be an upper-middle-class family. Motorcycles costing several thousand dollars were racing across the hills. There is also only one portion of Scorpion Baba, so I buy it as soon as I want.
Ruan Xiuqin believed in a low-key manner that apart from her good-looking skin and diligent hands and feet, her eldest daughter had shortcomings in other aspects, especially compared to her younger siblings, she was not ordinary dull.
After discussing the wedding procedures, the two families got together to talk about the details of the banquet.
Hosting banquets in rural areas is easy, but not easy, because it has many rules, taboos, gossips, and petty people.
For example, if you accidentally arrange the seat of an elder in a way that you are not satisfied with, you will definitely offend a group of people. But the number of distinguished positions is limited. There are only a few, but there are so many elders. This is quite a test of the master's ability to cope with the situation.
When hosting banquets in rural areas these days, unlike later generations of country chefs who brought their own pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches, they had to borrow everything and ask for help.
Fortunately, there is a good tradition in Shangcun. Each production team has its own system. Whether it is a white matter or an official event, as long as the owner opens the door, the neighbors will spontaneously come to help.
For example, there are dedicated people who lend tables, chairs and benches, help in the kitchen, load dishes, greet guests and see off guests, wash dishes and make tea, and even burn firewood and set off firecrackers.
People in the village are used to you helping me today and I helping you tomorrow. Each family pays willingly and only gets a few meals from the main family without any wages.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Yang Ende's mother came to Zhang's house angrily after hearing some news.
The old witch had a straight face, her legs were crossed, her hands were swiveling around her waist, her eyes were staring, her chin was raised, and she opened her mouth as if she was running on a train, and she kept going on and on. Jin is a collection of harsh words, swear words and filthy words, and he deliberately picks out unpleasant curses, especially when he calls out the widow by name. Ruan Xiuqin has a foxy face, and she curses with great vigor, dancing around and thinking of messing up the marriage. .
Grandma’s legs! It is unbearable!
Being bullied so much, Zhang Xuan, who usually has a good temper, was so angry that he really thought there was no man in the house, right? Without saying a word, as soon as his brain was filled with blood, he raised his high whip leg and kicked it fiercely...
Suddenly seeing Zhang Xuan rushing over like crazy, the old witch was so frightened that she stopped shouting and cursing, she was scared! He staggered backwards, and later even hid behind the villagers watching the excitement, not daring to show his head.
Zhang Xuan rushed to the gate and was stopped by the canteen owner and hugged him tightly. Then he was pulled into the main room by Ouyang Zhu and his son who were chasing him.
Zhang Ru patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and told her to leave it to her. Then she walked straight to the old witch's row and started her magical operation, which made everyone in the village dumbfounded.
I saw Zhang Ru asking before asking: "Do you have a heart disease? Is your blood pressure high? Have you had any surgery? Have you had steel nails? Have you ever had a stillbirth?"
What's the question? The two sides are not on the same channel at all. Yang Ende's mother, the old witch, was stunned on the spot. She looked at Zhang Ru for a while and didn't know how to make a sound. She was frightened by Zhang Xuan and shook her head subconsciously.
Snapped! A slap in the face.
Snapped! Another backhand slap.
Zhang Ru raised his hand and slapped her twice, and said grimly: "You don't even have these amulets, but you dare to come out and act like a monster. You're celebrating the New Year, you're looking for death!"
The old witch was stunned by the sudden two slaps, and her ears were buzzing.
Zhang Ru is a veteran of the Vietnam War. Although she only does propaganda work in the logistics department, she has really seen blood. She has a very violent temper. She is not easy to deal with a rural shrew. She immediately takes advantage of her and nails the old witch with her fingers. forehead, said sharply:
"Today is a great day for my old Zhang family. You are ignorant! If you dare to say one more unlucky word, I will call ten or eight cars of people to smash your three tile-roofed houses tonight and kill you." I’ll break your legs and sew your mouth shut with needles. If you don’t believe it, try farting now if you dare!”
Yang Ende's mother had heard about Zhang Ru's fierceness from others, but she was disdainful at that time. The immersive feeling now made her liver tremble, just like Zhang Xuan, who didn't even have a full head of hair, he didn't even say hello before taking action, he just hit when he said it! So cruel! So combative! This aggressive one wants to eat people!
