Farm family group treasure little fox wife

Chapter 158 New Year's Eve Dinner

157
Wu Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is there anyone who boasts like you?"

Huanhuan rolled her eyes: "I'm telling the truth!"

Wu Chao shook his head helplessly, not taking his sister's words at ease.

Huanhuan said so casually, but Wu Xingbang had other ideas.

As a grandfather, he certainly hoped that his eldest grandson would be able to achieve something in the future. If Chao'er could really achieve great things in the future, he couldn't just find him a wife who was just for raising children.

Wu Xingbang thought for a while, and said: "Chao'er's relatives aside, but today the village head of my Anping Village secured a matchmaker for Huanhuan, who is the grandson of an old master in Tongyuan Town, the son and daughter-in-law of that old master. He died young, and there is only such a grandson in front of him, the old master put all his energy on this grandson, I heard that he is very knowledgeable, and he plans to end his life next year."

People are often like this, they want what they lack.

The old Wu family has not been able to become an official for generations. When Wu Xingbang heard that the village head of Anping Village said that the child had great hopes of passing the exam next year, he was a little tempted.

His descendants cannot become officials, and it would be nice to have a grandson-in-law who is a scholar.

Huanhuan's small face wrinkled.

After talking about my brother just now, why did it involve her again?

Wu Xingbang probably saw Huanhuan's reluctance, and said with a smile, "I told the head of Anping Village that we will discuss this matter after the Lantern Festival."

The woman should be more reserved. If she is too eager, it will be looked down upon.

When Huanhuan heard that the matter was mentioned after the Lantern Festival, she immediately bent her eyes and laughed.

After half a month, she still doesn't know where she is?
The next day was New Year's Eve, and the villagers changed the peach charms at the door after lunch.

Wu Zhongming and Wu Chao were also not in the village on weekdays. They exchanged the peach charms early and took Bo'er to visit the villagers to make friends with the villagers, while the Miao family and the Zeng family began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Because there are ready-made radishes, Mrs. Miao went to the butcher yesterday to buy some big bones, and prepared to make big-bone radish soup.

In addition to soup, there are several hot dishes: chicken in soy sauce, steamed fish, braised pork, stir-fried tripe shreds and green vegetables; cold dishes include shredded chicken mixed with radish and shredded radish in vinegar, and several pastries.

Miao and Zeng finished the New Year's Eve dinner, and Wu Zhongming and the others also came back.

As soon as Wu Chao filled the wine for Wu Xingbang and Wu Zhongming, there was a knock at the door.

"It seems to be Mr. Mo!" Wu Chao's eyes lit up, and he walked out quickly.

When Wu Chao opened the door, he found that not only Mo Zhanshu, but also Shi Cunzhi had come.

Surprised and delighted, Wu Chao turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Shi, it's better to come early than coincidentally. The New Year's Eve dinner has just been prepared, please come in!"

When Shi Mo walked to the entrance of the hall, he cupped his hands and said to the people inside: "I'm bothering everyone."

"You two gentlemen, don't say that," Wu Xingbang stood up and greeted the two of them to their seats: "You two gentlemen can come to think highly of us."

Mrs. Miao and Mrs. Zeng hurriedly added bowls and chopsticks for them.

After drinking for three rounds, Huanhuan asked: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Shi, aren't you going out to play, why are you back so soon?"

"We came here today to tell the girl about this." Mo Zhanshu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Lao Shi and I were just wandering around Zhuwei County at first, and we decided to go to Taizhou to have a look the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, I heard a piece of news not far from Zhuwei County."

Seeing Shi Mo's expressions, it didn't look like a bad thing, but thinking that his parents were in Taizhou, Wu Chao still asked anxiously: "What news?"
