Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

The aunt just laughed, stretched out her hand to touch Erhong's head and said, "It's not ugly, there is no one in our family who is ugly, and Xiao Erhong looks better the longer she grows."

Mom put her arms around Erhong and smiled: "It's something I found and asked others to praise, isn't it ashamed?" Erhong laughed happily.

Mom asked: "When did you come? Are you almost ready?"

The aunt said: "Is there anything to prepare? Xiaohong has finished all the things. Come over to cook in the afternoon, and now everyone will follow around. The countryside pays attention to this, and the first three and the last three cannot be cut off. This is Now Xiaohong can do it, otherwise my brother will lose a few hairs and lose money for doing this."

Zhang Xingming said: "Can you still lose money? Can't you? Uncle Haolai is also a cadre."

The aunt smiled and reached out to touch Zhang Xingming's face and said, "This little face is so tender. Let me just say that, you can see it tomorrow, there are some for the whole family to eat for several days for five yuan and ten yuan, Some family members can’t sit down at one more table, isn’t it a loss of money?”

Zhang Xingming was dumbfounded, and turned to look at his mother, who nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's like this in the countryside. We have to set up water banquets for a few days, and all the relatives and neighbors come to eat. There must be houses with five or ten yuan. It’s not all like that, and it’s embarrassing for the family to be richer.”

It was the first time Zhang Xingming heard about it. Although he had attended a wedding in his previous life, he was only busy eating and playing at that time, so he didn't have the heart to ask these questions.

When doing business in the northeastern countryside, there were three or six seats, six cold, six hot, and six bowls of soup, also called water seats.Six bowls of soup are not really six bowls of soup. Stews with soup are also included here. There is only one real soup, which is usually vegetarian stewed soup, the same as in the city.

A group of people stood aside at the gate of the courtyard and talked a bit. There were people coming and going in the courtyard. Those in fashionable clothes, those in ragged cotton jackets, those in make-up, and those in unkempt faces were all mixed together. This is the way it is in this era, and no one looks down on them. Who, it's normal for a suit and checked shoes to squat together with a rags to smoke.

But in general, things like weddings will be cleaned up as much as possible, and those who are poorly dressed mean that the family is really poor.

"Mom." "Mom. Auntie." "Auntie."

Zhang Xingming turned his head and looked over. They were the two children of his aunt's family, Libin and Lihua. Lihua was the older sister, one year younger than Zhang Xingming.

The aunt said: "Where did you go crazy? Come on, the eldest brother and the second brother of the aunt's family and the soldier, do you still know each other?" The mother said: "Lihua is also on the rise. Why is Libin getting darker and darker? Isn't it? I think it's a little darker than the last time I saw it." Li Bin smiled shyly, and crawled towards the aunt, he was still young at this moment, only twelve.

Chapter 584 Preparation

The aunt hugged her son and said, "That's right, I've been soaking in the Taizi River every day this summer, so it won't be dark."

Libin said, "Mom, what are you talking about here? I'm hungry."

The aunt said: "These people haven't eaten yet. Wait for a while, wait for the chef from the big restaurant to cook delicious food. Go and play with your little brother and the others." She moved her son to Brother Zhang Xingming for a while .

Libin looked up at the three Zhang Xingming brothers and said, "What's so interesting, there's nothing here."

My aunt came out of the house, looked at the group of people at the door, smiled and came over to say hello: "Oh, you two sisters are standing here chattering, come in, come in. Guixin, Qingzhi, Gui Lian, all come in. Er Ming is here, Xiao Hong, call your aunt and the others to come in."

Sister Xiaohong said to her mother and father, "Why don't you go inside and sit down, it's quite cold outside." The wind was strong on the mountain, even though it was blocked by the courtyard wall, it still blew people's hair.

Mom said: "Is there room in the house?"

My aunt said: "Yes, I went into the house and put on the kang to keep warm. My parents' kang is always burning."

The mother took the aunt to the house, and the father followed behind.

Miss Xiaohong pulled Zhang Xingming back: "Go into the house."

Zhang Xingming said: "Forget it, you go into the house, I will stay outside for a while, there are too many people."

My mother said as she walked, "Don't worry about Xiaohong, let's go in." The elder sister Xiaohong dragged Erhong into the house with her mother and father.

As soon as the aunt went in, Li Bin came back to life, leaned over and said to his brother, "Can you play poker?"

The younger brother said: "Yes, do you have poker?"

Libin scratched his head and said, "I know there are some small shops selling them at the back, do you have any money?"

The little brother said: "You want me to play, but I have to buy it?"

Libin took out his pocket and said, "I don't have any money, so I only have fifty cents. I asked for one yuan for poker."

Zhang Xingming asked Lihua, "Are you in the third year of junior high school?"

Lihua said: "Well, you have graduated. Remember that you are one year older than me. I usually go to your house with my mother and you are always not at home."

Zhang Xingming nodded with a smile and said, "I have a lot of things to do. Where are you going to take the exam? High school or technical secondary school?"

Lihua said: "I'm going to take my father's factory technical school, what else can I take, and I can't pass the exam."

There was a sound of cars outside the yard, several large cars stopped at the door, and people from the restaurant arrived.

Unloading and assembling, the professional work is fast, and soon the whole yard changed its appearance, the tables and chairs were neatly placed, all the kitchen utensils were in place, and the large truck turned around and stopped on the open space under the ridge.

A group of chefs, servants and waiters in the uniforms of Hexiang Hotel began to work.

The chef and worker began to prepare the meals, and the waiters took out things from the boxes to decorate the environment. The lanterns were put on, and the colorful flags, electric lights, flowers, ornaments, and red window stickers were all arranged in place. In half an hour, the whole courtyard and room were filled with The appearance changed, and the relatives and neighbors who came and went looked at it with envious eyes. My mother said: "It looks a lot better this way, and this effort is not in vain."

Zhang Xingming walked around the room and said to his aunt, "Auntie, the east room has to be freed up for two tables. Auntie, hurry up and ask someone to tidy things up, and I'll ask the waiter outside to come in and set things up."

The aunt who was talking with her mother, aunt, and a few relatives and neighbors brushed her newly permed hair and asked, "Is there not enough space outside? Is it possible?" She leaned on the window and looked out: "One, two, three... eleven , eleven tables, one for gift writing, ten tables can be placed at once, it is enough."

Zhang Xingming said: "My uncle has to come back. Why don't people come from the county when it's over? People from the county can't come to accompany them in the town? There are two tables in the east room, and it's fine for the leaders to leave as soon as they leave. People will come in when the time comes."

My aunt said: "Then there's no need to do it now, right? The room is full of people, what do you say? It's like pushing people away?"

Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "Let's just say that the county leaders are coming, just clean up the house and receive the leaders. What if my uncle comes back in the afternoon? If the county people really come with my uncle, there will be a meeting There’s no such thing as a bad place to sit.”

My mother said: "Yes, yes, yes, the leader is here, you can make people squeeze in the yard, hurry up and clean up, let's go, let's go together."

A few people came out of the west room and entered the east room. The room was full of girls and daughters-in-law on the top and bottom of the kang. Melon seed skins, peanut skins, and candy-wrapped fruit cores, several bear children squeezed up and down, crying and shouting for candies.

Entering the house, people on and off the kang made a commotion, all saying congratulations or something.

The aunt answered a few words correctly with a smile, and said: "Come on, everyone, help me out and share the things with the children. This room needs to be tidied up and put on the table."

Older people would not like to sit in the kang, how nice it is to sit in the kang so warm and comfortable. "Is there anyone who puts the wedding table in the father's house? It's nonsense. There are more than ten tables outside. It's enough, so you don't need to bother."

The young ones have already put on shoes to get children off the kang. Of course, you must fill your pockets with melon seeds and peanut candies, and take two big apples.

My aunt said: "Didn't my old Liu go to the county? The county leaders can come here. It's not easy to show off. Just sit in this room and wait for people to leave before you come in. Hurry up, old aunt, get off the kang Put on your shoes." Standing on the edge of the kang, he smiled and tugged at the older one.

The older man grumbled reluctantly and got off the kang, grabbed a few apples and went out.A group of girls, daughters-in-law and children dispersed, and mothers and aunts went to the kang to tidy up.At that time, the quilts were all folded and placed on the box, so I hurriedly found a nice blanket to cover it, tidied up everything, and swept the kang clean.Here Zhang Xingming called a few waiters to come in and clean up the underground.

Soon the room became clean and tidy. A few waiters set up the tables, put cloths on the saucers and cups, and placed a few small flower and blue handicrafts in several places in the room for decoration, and replaced them with big light bulbs. The room feels like it's coming up.There can only be one table in the ground, but considering that there may be no room for sitting, I set up another table on the kang, and tidy it up like the underground. Also used to it.

After the house was tidied up, everyone withdrew, and the service staff decorated the doors of these bedrooms.

When I came outside, I just had dinner.Today is not a good day, lunch is relatively simple, a few plates of cold spells, three or four hot dishes and a soup, the portion is very large, mainly full.There is no need for anyone to make a fuss, so many people come and stay here just for a few meals, and soon eleven tables are full of people eating.

When the neighbors are full and leave, it is the turn of the family to eat at the table. This is also a rule, and the guests cannot eat if they have not eaten the family.

Zhang Xingming and Sister Xiaohong helped the grandparents out, and the family sat at three tables and ate while talking. The dishes were different now. The boss and the elders had to cook carefully and richly.

Chapter 585

Grandma and grandpa have a small appetite, they will be full after eating something, and they don’t need to be accompanied by others. The two of them walked around the yard a few times to digest food, looked around and went back to the house. There were too many people, and both of them thought it was noisy Panic.
