husband and wife

Chapter 336

Song Liangchen struggled to distribute snacks to everyone in the room, and there was another sound outside the courtyard, with an unfamiliar accent, and the voice was so loud that Su Wan heard the other party say Song Ziheng's name, Song's mother got up and went out to take a look, Su Wan also hugged her son and followed Song Ziheng to watch the fun.

There were several people standing in the courtyard of the Song family. They looked like two old couples. Mother Song was still a little puzzled and didn't know what to say to the other party, but Song Ziheng suddenly realized, and went forward to say hello: "Auntie and Auntie."

When the two women saw Song Ziheng, their faces beamed with joy: "Ziheng? The last time we met was when you and Wanwan got married. It's been five or six years. It's hard for you to remember us."

"You are elders, how can you forget." Song Ziheng smiled and bowed, then turned and introduced to Song's mother, "These are two younger sisters who are mother-in-law, and next to them are two uncles."

"So it's my in-laws. The first time I saw them, I almost didn't recognize them. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful." Mother Song greeted hurriedly.

Several people were chatting, Su Wan also felt something, and walked forward with the child in her arms, the eyes of the two aunts were already looking at her, and their eyes lit up when they saw her coming, and they stopped her without waiting for them to speak. Su Wan: "Wanwan, you child, your aunt is here, why are you dawdling behind?"

Su Wan pursed her lips, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, Song Ziheng glanced at her with a smile, and while inviting them to sit in the room, he hugged Song Liangchen and introduced them to them.

The aunt of the Su family smiled and said: "I heard that Ziheng and Wanwan came back from Beijing, and they have to come to see them no matter what. They came with eldest brother and the others, but there might not be room in the car, so we separated. The sisters came here alone, but the elder brother and the others live closer, but he hasn't come yet."

While exchanging pleasantries, the uncles of the Su family also arrived. They are considered to be Su Wan's natal family. Naturally, she entertained them all the way, and because they were rare and distinguished guests when they came back to the Song family for the first time. When meeting people, I deliberately left space for them alone so that they could catch up on the old days.

Su Wan just felt embarrassed. She didn't remember any of the things her aunts and uncles said, and she could only smile subtly when asked. Wan's memory is getting worse and worse, and she can't remember many hours of events."

The aunt of the Su family smiled and said: "It is said that the first pregnancy is stupid for three years, isn't that just right?"

Song Liangchen listened happily, and clapped his hands: "Stupid, mother is stupid, my aunt doesn't even recognize it!"

His little man can see clearly.

Su Wan patted his face: "Nonsense, mother just hasn't seen auntie and the others for a long time, and she doesn't dare to recognize each other. Do you understand that I am afraid of being close to home."

Song Liangchen was still smiling brightly, and the words "mother lied to others" seemed to be written in his clear eyes.

The guests came and went one after another, and the time passed quickly. Soon it was noon, and the banquet preparations began. The protagonists were Song Ziheng, plus a little golden boy, Song Liangchen. A few seats were reserved for the Song family man.

Before the banquet started, the village was noisy again. Song Dacai, who had been promoted to Lizheng, hurried up to greet him: "Master Zhixian, are you here too?"

The Song family village was in an uproar, and the county magistrate took the initiative to come to their village for a banquet. What an honor?

The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one. It may be that they watched Song Ziheng grow up after all. The villagers of Songjia Village treat Song Ziheng more kindly than in awe.

In fact, Wangzhi County had been to Songjia Village once, but at that time he still brought some high-ranking officials with him. He only exchanged greetings with Father Song, sat in Song's house for a quarter of an hour, and left after eating.

This time when Wang Zhixian came over, he was warm and cordial. When they saw Father Song, they called them brothers and sisters. As soon as they called Song Ziheng, Song Ziheng smiled and said, "Today's family banquet, if there is no adult, it will be a matter of seniority. Call me Ziheng." Can."

Wang Zhixian smiled all over his face, thinking that it was no wonder Song Ziheng was promoted so fast, he was talented, and he was not pedantic. Now that he is in decline and he is young, how can he not stand out after decades of immersion in the officialdom?
Thinking of this, his attitude became even more enthusiastic. He patted Song Ziheng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Ziheng is too mean. I heard that you went to the city. I wanted to invite you to the house, but I haven't seen anyone yet, so you just don't like me." out of town."

"It's true that I'm homesick, and I hope you can forgive me." Song Ziheng raised his glass and drank.

"Very good, I like generous people like Ziheng!" Wang Zhixian laughed and drank a glass. Uncle Song has already arranged for a few people who came with Wang Zhixian to be seated, and some of them met yesterday Lin Yuanwai, who also invited Song Ziheng.

Member Lin thought that he already knew why Song Ziheng was indifferent, and he was really a little apprehensive when he sat down.

Song Ziheng glanced at each other, but didn't show it. Father Song and Song You didn't want to talk at all. Seeing Song Ziheng's attitude, he knew that he must have other meanings, but he endured it and pretended he didn't know Mr. Lin.

Songjia Village has money now, so they are asked to chip in the money, and every household rushes to pay it, for fear that they will be late, how can they shirk?It is said that each family is two hundred Wen silver, so they can scrape together [-] guan, and buy a sumptuous banquet, which is really enough.

However, the villagers thought that all the villages from ten miles away would come to eat, and if they didn't have enough things, wouldn't they be ashamed and thrown to other villages?They also spontaneously collected one or two hundred coins, but the Song family didn't contribute the money, not because they were reluctant to part with the money, but because the villagers refused to let them.

Father Song was not one to take advantage, so he asked his own pig to be slaughtered. There were two hundred catties of pork, but none of it was sold, and it was all reserved for the banquet.

Pork originally accounted for a large part of the cost, but now that it is settled, the villagers only need to buy other food with the money they collect, and there is still room left. Therefore, the table is almost full of chickens, ducks and fish at the water banquet, and the food is full of oil, which is better than that of the New Year. But much richer.

It took a full hour and a half for this meal.

After finishing the banquet in a lively atmosphere, Wang Zhixian made up his mind to celebrate with the people today, drank a lot of wine, and was supported by the yamen servant when he boarded the car.

The magistrate left, people from other villages also left one after another, and the women of Songjia Village stayed to clean up the mess.

The Song family is now prosperous, and the relationship with the villagers is still as good as before. Except for the fact that the villagers want to befriend each other, it is because they have done well on their own. The Song family came from poverty. Neighbors for life.
