Chapter 41
At noon, the Suzhai courtyard was full of people.

There were so many people who could feed the whole family for half a month, so they brought the whole family and even called the family dog ​​to eat at the table.

I deliberately didn't eat breakfast. I was hungry all morning. After a while, I had to eat more. The whole family and the dog tried to make back their money.

There are ten tables in Suzhai, with five people sitting at each table. It is planned that one person from each family will come.

Right now, only a small number of people are sitting and more are standing.Those who were sitting did not dare to go to the latrine easily, fearing that they would lose their seats and never sit down again. They had to call family members to come and occupy the seats before going to the latrine with their legs crossed.

The seats were full of men, laughing loudly, punching each other, and drinking.

It looked like they were drunk, but in fact the wine given to each table was only a small pot, and everyone licked their mouths and drank it. They were just happy and excited.

Su Zhai is a big landowner in Xiaochong Village. The big landowner's family has always been rich and popular.Do not believe?Then take a look at the fat-headed and big-eared Su Laoer and the three chubby brothers. They are all very handsome.

As for the second daughter-in-law, she is not fat by nature, and she will remain slim no matter how much good food she eats.

Although the wine here was not as good as expected, they were still looking forward to the lunch meal.

The man who didn't take a seat squatted under the wall, listening to the elderly man talking about how rich Mr. Su's banquet was, making everyone "chichi" and sip their saliva.

They arrived late and didn't get a seat, so they had to wait for the first group of people to leave before eating the second round, maybe the third or fourth round.

In any case, they just hope that the people who eat first will be merciful and give them more leftovers.

The women sat around chatting about household chores, and their hands were always busy, either sewing or mending clothes, twisting hemp rope, or knitting straw sandals.

There are also elderly women among the women. They still remember how they worked as maids in Su's house when they were young. They talk happily about how beautiful and grand the house was when Mr. Su was still here, how many servants there were, and what kind of delicacies they eat every day. .
The old woman who spoke glowed with the grace of her youth, and the women were filled with envy.

The richest person they could imagine was Mrs. Su, and they all wanted to work as servants or maids in such a wealthy family.Needless to say, the wages are high, and you can also benefit from it, eat well and use it well.

Unlike now, even if you want to eat at a banquet, you have to wait until the men have finished eating before you can go to the banquet.

The boys were chasing and beating each other in the courtyard, playing with the chickens and petting the dogs.

They all knew that today they would have an extraordinarily sumptuous meal and fight with their friends. Both the one who beat and the one who was beaten would have tears of joy flowing from their mouths.

The girl dolls are not as crazy as the boys. They sit together in twos and threes with their besties, picking wild grasses and wild flowers to make necklaces and garlands to dress themselves up. They dance happily and happily welcome the delicious food that is about to come.

They are too poor to have anything good to eat all year round, so they are naturally looking forward to having a good meal after a long time.

There are many people and it is very noisy.

Xiao Qianxi leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He really didn't want to talk about dumb things with the mute old lady.

Su Suisui also pretended to sleep, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, his arms were empty. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Aunt Shen who had taken Su Suisui away.

Aunt Shen had a gloomy face and looked very unhappy. She cursed in a low voice, "You're so stingy!"

Xiao Qianxi yawned and suddenly saw that the old man from before was back and helping the mute old lady to leave.

Seeing that he was awake, Shen Biyu sent him to look for Wei Jiao and Jiao Jiao, "Come on, I will kill rabbits for you when you get back."

Don't want to eat?

Xiao Qianxi walked among the crowd, and from time to time he heard people sighing and complaining that the banquet had not yet started, and the children were so hungry that they collapsed in the arms of adults.

Three chubby children each held an arm-long piece of bacon and gnawed on the pork ribs. Under the watchful eyes of adults and children, they gnawed openly and slowly.

They even tear off the meat and beat the dogs. They watch the dogs fight and clap their hands.

The adults held on to their children to prevent them from competing with the dogs for food.They hated these three children from the bottom of their hearts, not only because they were the children of big landowners, but also because they deliberately aroused the greed of adults and children, and even more because they were beaten with meat in front of a group of people who could only eat meat once a year. dog.

They couldn't help but remember that last year, their rice was wet with rain, and Mr. Su's daughter-in-law went to deliver pork from door to door.

Both have the surname Su, so why are there such big differences?

They comforted the greedy children and said that there would be all kinds of delicious food at the party, so the children calmed down.

Xiao Qianxi also hated these three children. He could not remember their faces, but he remembered their laughter deeply.

He left for the last time. After walking for a long time, he actually circled back to the village. Just when he felt like shit, he went to squat in the hut.

There was no roof in the latrine, and a big stone came crashing in, hitting the pit. Urine splashed all over him, and he fell down.

Footsteps and laughter could be heard on the board.

He would never forget that schadenfreude laugh.

Xiao Qianxi was furious, pushed aside the people and children in front of him, and strode in.

Halfway through, his arm was pulled, "Wang Ba Xian, go home."

Shen Biyu found her two daughters first, and then asked her two daughters to find Xiao Qianxi.

"Let's go." Su Jiaojiao couldn't pull Xiao Qianqi, so Su Jiaojiao helped to pull him.

Xiao Qian was pulled back after the attack, and was shocked again.

Su Yujie is worthy of being Aunt Shen's biological daughter. She looks gentle and gentle, but she actually inherited Aunt Shen's strength.

At this time, Su Changbai lazily walked out and lit firecrackers at the courtyard gate.

The villagers fell silent, and the men sitting in the seats raised their lips crazily, gearing up and preparing to show off their skills.

Men who have no place around the table are happy to see the food and smell its aroma.

The children covered their ears and threw themselves into the arms of their father who was sitting in the seat. They looked at their friends standing by the wall under the eaves, their eyes full of pride and pride.

Those unfortunate children had tears and runny noses. The bold ones complained that their father couldn't grab a seat and got a fresh big-eared baby. The timid ones slumped on their mothers' laps dejectedly, envious of their friends who could sit on the table.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Everyone exclaimed and even the firecrackers couldn't cover it up.

As soon as the door curtain opened, two women came out one after another carrying dustpans.

As I got closer, I realized that what was in the dustpan was not vegetables, but chopsticks.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but even more excited. What would we eat without giving out chopsticks?Catch it with your hands?

There are several enthusiastic people at each table helping to hand out chopsticks. It happens to be unique every week. If there is no one who can add a seat by himself, he fumbles for a stick from the ground and breaks it off, which is ready-made chopsticks.

The chopsticks had just been washed, they were wet and smelled of mold.

"Fellows of Xiaochong Village!" After the firecrackers were set off, Su Changbai began to speak.

"My mother passed away last night, please be quiet - just be quiet -" Su Changbai took a sip of ginseng tea to moisten his throat.

"I'll serve the food after I finish speaking!"

As soon as these words came out, everything fell silent. Su Changbai then spoke slowly, with excitement and joy in his tone.
