Chapter 24 Full Moon Banquet

Huai City.

The sky cleared up for several days in a row, and the snow on the eaves had not yet melted, and the snow drifted down again.

The eaves on the ground were covered with snow again.

The Shen family's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and even the dead trees were glued with fake flowers with silk, and a full moon banquet was held for Shen Junshan's posthumous son in a lively manner.

The gates of the city walls, docks, temples... Just to accumulate blessings for the young master, the Shen family set up porridge sheds everywhere, and gave porridge and money for three consecutive days.

The whole Huaicheng felt sorry for Shen Junshan's death and left such a huge wealth, and also praised Mrs. Ru for her kindness and kindness.

……

On the same day, Shenshu Village.

It was snowing heavily for a hundred miles around Nanguan Mountain, but only Shenshu Village was sunny.

This surprised the villagers again and again.

The Bai family in Shenshu Village is bustling with activity, and is hosting a full moon banquet for Xiao Fuyuan.

Early in the morning, Bai Muban set off a string of firecrackers himself, and the whole village rushed to help amidst the sound of firecrackers.

The villagers of Shenshu Village farm the land for a living, and their lives are ordinary, and their families can only maintain food and clothing.Except for Chinese New Year, there is usually no condition to eat meat. The chickens, ducks and geese raised at home are not willing to kill to eat for the purpose of laying eggs for money.

Now there is a banquet of noodles to eat, and every family is happy to participate in Xiao Fuyuan's full moon banquet.

Especially the children, when they heard that there was meat and candy to eat, they happily gathered at the gate of Bai's house to pick up squibs and wander around Dalang Saburo.Dalang Saburo became the focus of the children in the village for the first time, and he was quite excited.

The villagers lamented that it was the first time in Shenshu Village to hold a full moon banquet for their daughters.Laobai's family really loves their daughter. The sons and grandsons didn't do it, but they did it for the little girl.

This is a bit unfair to Lao Bai's family. At that time, it was not that they didn't do it, but they didn't have the money to do it at all.

The villagers also found that the Bai family's full moon banquet was different. Two red lanterns were hung at the door, adding a festive touch to the white snow.

These two bright red lanterns were bought by Bai Sanzhuang in Xu's shop.

After entering the Bai family's courtyard, the villagers praised the old Bai's family's decent and generous wedding ceremony.

The yard was cleaned up, and there were two large pots set up in the southeast corner, where Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao were chopping vegetables and meat.Pots of meat and fish were piled up beside the cauldron, along with eggs and greens.

It turned out that the Bai family hunted a big wild boar and didn't distribute it to the villagers. Some villagers were still sad.Seeing this battle, I understand that it's not that Lao Bai's family doesn't distinguish between pork, but that they keep it on the table and stew it for everyone to eat.

Several large borrowed tables were set up in the yard, on which were placed tea, melon seeds and peanuts, and fruits bought from shops in the town.Under each table, there is a jar of wine.

Big money.

Really generous.

For such a big happy event as marrying a daughter-in-law in the village, no one has ever seen such a big deal.

Including when the second child of the Bai family was admitted to the scholar, there was no such fanfare, just sprinkled a few handfuls of sugar.

Lao Bai's family has ruined their entire family for a hairy girl.

Bai Muban changed into clean clothes, stood at the door, and greeted the guests with a red face
"Brother Bai, congratulations!" Village Chief Zhao came up and cupped his hands towards Bai Muban.

"Brother Zhao, you are here, let's be happy together."

Village head Zhao had been in charge before, shouldering heavy responsibilities, and after saying hello to Bai Muban, he arranged for the young men and elders in the village to chop the firewood and serve the vegetables, and instruct the young wives to cut the vegetables and steam the steamed buns.

Village head Zhao also arranged for Bai Laoer to write a book of gifts, scholar, the highest educated person in the village, this job is none other than him.

Bai Muban blocked it, and agreed not to accept the gift. The little girl, Man Yue, wanted to make everyone happy together.

Village head Zhao shook his head straight, the villagers also want face, even those who like to take advantage of it are too embarrassed to come to the wedding banquet empty-handed.Besides, the gifts they bring are not too heavy, a few catties of stick noodles from your family, and a piece of cloth from his family, and the wealthy family is only a few pennies.The gift is light, and the picture is a congratulations and blessing.

You don't accept the gift, but you hurt the face of the villagers.

After hearing this, Bai Muban nodded in agreement.

The village chief followed behind his wife, Mrs. Zhao, who was carrying two packs of crisp candies, a basket of eggs, and a piece of floral cloth. She smiled and shouted at the old lady Bai, "Congratulations, Mrs. Bai."

The old lady Bai smiled, and when she saw the gift in Aunt Zhao's hand, she said: "...I told you that no one needs to bring a gift."

"What kind of gift is this? It's for my little niece." Aunt Zhao handed the things to Old Madam Bai, rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help Chuntao chop vegetables."

The old lady Bai said with a smile: "Don't be busy, there is a job you are most suitable for, and I want to ask you to help entertain the female guests."

"Okay." Aunt Zhao readily agreed. She is good at entertaining female guests. After all, the leader of the gossip group in Shenshu Village is doing the work of communication and organization.

The whole yard was bustling with activity, and the villagers were eager to help.

Joy and laughter filled every corner of Lao Bai's house.

Sleeping Xiao Fuyuan was awakened by the bustle outside. She twisted her body on the bed, yawned, and opened her eyes.

Today is Xiao Fuyuan's full moon feast, so the whole family naturally attaches great importance to her.She was dressed up early in the morning, with a bright red padded jacket and a tiger hat on her head. Xie Chuntao also had a red dot on her forehead.

It is really picturesque, with snow-covered skin, just like the lucky baby in the New Year painting.

"Mother, my younger sister is so beautiful! The second brother and the third brother are indeed right." A clear youthful voice sounded.

who is this?

Xiaofu's eyes were full of doubts, and there was a little boy smiling at him.

"Sister, I am your fourth brother."

Seeing Xiao Fuyuan wake up, the little boy bent down and smiled at her.

Another brother!
How many brothers do you have!

This elder brother is so kind, he looks as good-looking as the third brother, and more youthful and elegant than the third brother.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Xiao Fuyuan wanted to say hello to the fourth brother, but her language system was not developed, so she could only babble and smile at the fourth brother, showing two dimples on her face like a doughnut.

"Mother, my sister is so good, she smiled at me the first time she saw me." Bai Panmei, the fourth eldest of the Bai family, said happily.

"That's right, your sister is smart enough to know that you are an elder brother." Zhen's face was full of pride.

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

That is, no matter what he is, in the eyes of his mother, he is the best.

Zhen Shi picked up Xiao Fuyuan and shook it gently.

"Mom, I also want to hug my sister." Bai Panmei looked eager.

"Okay, come on, stretch out your hand, you put your sister's head on your arm..." Mrs. Zhen taught the fourth son the essentials of holding a child, and carefully handed Xiao Fuyuan to the fourth son's hands.

"My sister is so soft." Bai Panmei carefully supported her sister, with a nervous expression on her face.

My sister is so pretty, with a small pink face, big watery eyes, and long sparkling eyelashes.

It was different from Dalang's nephews when they were young.

"Sister, my name is Panmei, just to look forward to a younger sister. I want to study hard, and I will be the number one in the exam, and the fourth brother will support you in the future..." Bai Panmei swore to her sister proudly.

Ah, this elder brother is a scholar just like the second elder brother.

No wonder it looks so elegant.

Zhen said with a smile: "You are not even a child, and you want to be the champion! Mother only hopes that you can read and understand, and you can't put so much pressure on yourself."

Is it that easy to be the champion?
Is it that easy to be the champion?

There was a look of pain in Zhen's eyes. To be honest, the second child was also placed with high hopes by the master of the private school, but he didn't expect to be dumb after being admitted as a scholar.It was a pity for others to take the place of the second child, but she was inexplicably relieved. She felt that it would be good for the second child to be a private school teacher, and being ordinary is a blessing.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Xiao Fuyuan smelled a touch of depression in the happy atmosphere, so she opened her little hands and babbled to make Zhenshi happy.

Mother, the fourth brother is right, the fourth brother wants to be the champion.

Zhen Shi nodded Xiao Fuyuan's head, how could she feel that the little girl was connected with her heart, and she knew what she was worried about.

Such a small child!

Is it an illusion?
