Chapter 90 Going Home to Prepare for the Festival (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Chapter 90: Go home and prepare for the festival (please vote for me)
When it was time for dinner, Wang Qi, who had been active for a long time, immediately became wilted.
He originally picked up the food box from Hutou's house, and he was still looking forward to it. After all, Hutou's family was having a wedding banquet today, and chicken, duck, and fish should be indispensable. On the way, he couldn't help but want to open it, but he was afraid of being laughed at by everyone, so he thought
Went back to the temple to see what delicious food there was.
After he came back and played with Hu Tou, he forgot about the food box.
When dinner was served, Wang Qi's face turned green. Water-milled rice cake and Dingsheng cake with two pigments; smoked dried, steamed candied lotus root, fried radish balls, salted peanuts, and four vegetable vegetables. It is really vegetarian. This is
For the wedding banquet? Where’s the chicken, where’s the duck, where’s the fish?
The staple food was still porridge. Wang Qi regretted it deeply and secretly scolded Hutou's family for being unkind and why they didn't keep guests.
I went there with my group. Since I had a wedding, I also took out ten taels of silver as gifts for my brothers. I found a good restaurant in the city, and the best banquet was only five or six taels. Hutoujia
You must be stingy, you don't even have a table for the guests, and you only give them these.
The food Sanlang ate was sweet. For the same dishes, the ones cooked in the countryside were naturally rough and not as delicate as those cooked in the house. But because of this, the food tasted more authentic.
The tiger's head kept staring at the plate of sugared lotus roots, one piece, two pieces, three pieces...he drank several bowls of porridge.
Of course Dao Chi saw Wang Qi's reaction, and was thinking about persuading Wang Qi to go back early. Although he decided to take Hutou into the city, he had not yet told Wang Ning that it was not good to just take people back like this.
The prophet called the old lady.
After finishing dinner, Wang Qi was in a dilemma, wondering whether to go down the mountain to look for meat tomorrow or find a way back to the city first, when she heard the "request" from the Taoist Chi.
For Wang Qi, such a request is not a trouble, but a sound of nature.
Wang Qi immediately became energetic, patted her chest and said, "Just leave it to my brother. I'll talk to my uncle and grandma. Erlang doesn't have to worry about the bed. Isn't it just a wooden bed in your outhouse? Brother will take care of it!"
"
The Taoist Chi said: "Well, thank you Seventh Brother. Third Brother, Hutou and I will go down the mountain at thirteen as originally planned."
Wang Qi remembered something and said: "Erlang, His Highness had promised to come to see Hu Tou in person after the funeral. Will His Highness be annoyed if you take Hu Tou down the mountain directly and disturb His Highness's 'Li Xian Corporal' drama?"
Dao Chi said: "His Royal Highness has been busy attending to funerals these days and is exhausted. He has taken a month off to study and have a good rest. I can't leave the tiger head alone just to wait for His Highness, 'Corporal Courtesy and Xian'."
On the mountain. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to the palace and inform His Highness."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "It's better if you take the initiative to speak, it is better than reacting when His Highness asks."
Wang Sanlang was a little surprised when he heard what the two said: "The prince also knows about Tiger Head?"
Mentioning this, Wang Qi was proud and said with a smile: "It was recommended by my brother. Sanlang, Hutou has the power of a bear. It will not be easy for him to get promoted when he joins the guards in the future. It's ridiculous that Hutou's family regards this treasure as grass."
, instead he regarded his idiot younger brother as his best friend.
Huh, don’t try to take advantage of Hutou in the future.”
Wang Sanlang said happily: "That's great!"
Although he didn't hate the tiger head, people's hearts were biased. Although he didn't show it at all on his face, Wang Sanlang was quite dissatisfied with the old monk for leaving the tiger head to the care of a Taoist. In his opinion, his brother was the
How can I let him take care of others when he is a child? The life of Waijiufang is not rich, and Hutou is an unusual child. He needs more care and attention, and his younger brother will be more and more burdened in the future.
Now that Hutou has the capital to settle down and make a living, there is no need for Taoist idiots to worry about it. Wang Sanlang is really happy.
Hutou sat next to him, looking at this and that, still looking confused.
The next day, everyone accompanied Wang Qi down the mountain and went to Wangjiayao to hire a car to see Wang Qi off.
Another day later, Uncle Wang went up the mountain and brought a bag of clothes and a box of homemade mooncakes. The clothes were for Hutou, and the mooncakes were newly made to make snacks for the young masters.
On August 13th, not only the carriage from the clan came, but also Wang Qi himself.
"Everything is fine, my brother will come to pick you up." Wang Qi smiled and said to everyone, and then began to show off his merits to the Taoist: "My uncle and aunt's place, my brother can tell; my brother also made the tiger's head bed.
appropriate."
The Taoist idiot bowed and said, "Thank you, seventh brother!"
Wang Qi accepted it with a smile, supported Dao Chi's arm, and said: "Who calls me the elder brother? If I don't bother, who will?"
Wang Sanlang also had a look of gratitude on his face. Even though Wang Qi acted childishly, he had nothing to say about spending more time with the two brothers this year.
Hu Tou looked at Wang Qi with a smile, his face still close, as if he hadn't left for the past two days. Wang Qi smiled "hehe", took out a piece of meat the size of red dates from his purse, and stuffed it into Hu Tou.
He put his head in his hands and said: "Eat."
Hutou looked at it curiously, and after Wang Qi demonstrated it, he followed it and put it in his mouth.
Wang Qi asked Sanlang again, and Sanlang took it and ate it.
Although he is not as ecstatic as Wang Qi, he still feels dull after being a vegetarian for seven days.
The brothers talked and laughed, and time flew by.
When the carriage entered the city, they went straight to the outer nine rooms.
Mrs. Wang Ning had prepared a table of food since the morning and was waiting for the children to come back. Not only was she not dissatisfied at all about Dao Chi going to Xishan to mourn the old monk, but she was quite pleased.
She could see that her grandson said little, but in his heart he valued affection. But this kind of affection had to be divided among people. Whoever treated him well would be treated well; if he treated him badly, he would do the same.
Cool your heart.
Regardless of whether there are adopted children or grandchildren within the clan or outside the family, no matter how much the adoptive parents love them, when they grow up and become the masters of the family, they will often seek out their biological parents, reunite them with their flesh and blood, support them openly or covertly, and treat their adoptive parents as enemies.
Family relationships between flesh and blood are important, but such ungratefulness is nothing.
Mrs. Wang Ning is fortunate to have the late blessing of adopting a loving grandson.
As for bringing Hutou's family here, she had no objection in her heart. Wang Qi didn't know that she had actually seen Hutou and was deeply impressed by the boy. Maybe others would think Hutou was stupid; but in her case
From the perspective of the elderly, Hutou is just a more childish child. It is better to be as pure as a child than to have evil intentions.
Wang Qi was afraid that the old man would dislike Hu Tou, so he exaggerated the injustice suffered by Hu Tou and talked about Hu Tou's future arrangements.
The old man felt that Hu Tou might join the army, but he didn't say anything. However, Wang Ning felt aggrieved that Hu Tou's parents despised their own flesh and blood, and she felt more pity for Hu Tou in her heart.
No matter whether the grandson regards Hu Tou as a friend or a brother, the old man supports it. In fact, his family is too thin. Now the grandson is still young. When he is older, he will support the family and have many brothers and friends to help.
Shun Niang heard that her brother would bring a child back today, and she was a little curious.
When Dao Chi and his brothers came back with the tiger head, Wang Ning and his grandson both looked at the tiger head. The tiger head was a little embarrassed to see it, so he hid behind Dao Chi, but couldn't help but poke his head out and look.
With Wang Ning and Shun Niang.
Seeing such childishness made Wang Ning and Shun Niang laugh.
He also thought that this child had grown so big in vain and had burned out his head. Now he was not very good, but when he grew up, he would be more miserable than others. Both the grandfather and the grandson felt pity in their hearts.
Seeing that the old lady accepted the tiger head without any displeasure on her face, Wang Qi said goodbye to Saburo.
Sanlang has been out for many days, and his family has been urging him several times...
"Grandma!" The Taoist idiot pointed at Wang Ning and taught Hutou Tao.
"Grandma." Hutou followed the old monk to Nanchang Mansion for a year, and his tongue is much better than in the past. Now he can speak short sentences of two or three words, not only slower, but also fluently.
"Sister." Dao Chi pointed at Shun Niang again.
"Sister." Hutou said honestly.
Wang Ning and Shun Niang are very soft-hearted people. Seeing Hu Tou's quiet and well-behaved appearance, they just feel cute and cute. They can only say that Dao Chi is too experienced, and the grandfather and grandson cannot find the care in Dao Chi.
It feels like a child, now that the tiger head is here, it's like there is an extra child in the family.
The Taoist idiot took out the baggage that Uncle Wang had brought up the mountain. He had seen the contents yesterday. They were two sets of autumn sweaters and a set of cotton-padded clothes.
The autumn shirt is newly cut, and the cotton coat is 80% new. It is obviously an adult size. Although Uncle Wang didn't say it, looking at the size, it should be Uncle Wang's clothes.
These clothes couldn't be worn by Hutou without changing them, so Dao Chi took them away for fear of being seen by Shun Niang. When Shun Niang went to the kitchen to see the food, he took out the bundle and handed it to Wang Ning.
Wang Ning heard that even the clothes were prepared by Hutou's second uncle. Hutou's parents didn't have any reaction, so they couldn't help but sigh a few times.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival, and it is Shun Niang's last time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at her parents' home. Dao Chi discussed with Wang Ning to go shopping tomorrow and have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Ning was worried that her grandson would be too sad for the old monk's death, so seeing that he was interested, she naturally did not want to go against his wishes.
Early the next morning, Daoist Chi sent Jingzhe to go out and hire a carriage. He took Hutou and two Jingzhe and went to Xicheng with Wang Ning's family.
Taoist idiots visited the three bustling streets in Xicheng one by one, mainly looking for a business that would save them worries and "launder money". During this period, he accompanied the old lady to buy mooncakes, candied fruits, fruits and grapes, etc., and returned them to
Hu Tou bought two sets of ready-made clothes and two pairs of new shoes.
When passing by the silver building, Dao Chi glanced at it a few more times, but did not stop.
He remembered that there was one thing he had not done, and that was that the jewelry in Shun Niang's dowry had not yet been worn. However, he did not mention this in front of Wang Ning, because he knew it would be useless to mention it, and he had already decided to "cut it off first and show it later".
The furniture for Shun Niang's dowry was ordered from a carpentry shop owned by the third room of the Wang family. It was completed at the end of August and was made of high-quality chicken wing wood. This complete set of furniture cost only one hundred and sixty taels of silver. Of course,
When the price was reported to Wang Ning, he said it was sixty taels.
Counting the days, Zhang Qinghe is taking his third exam at the provincial government, and he doesn’t know if he can pass this exam...
Chapter completed!
