Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Seeing Banggeng walking towards her with a sad face, Huairu quickly took the lead and said, "Only adults can go to the banquet. You and your grandmother and sister can eat at home. Be good."

The story of the boy who cried wolf was well demonstrated at this moment, and Bang Geng no longer disbelieved these familiar words.

His mother told him the same thing when someone in the yard held a banquet before. As a result, he saw the children in the backyard sitting at the table and eating meat. This incident has been deeply engraved in his mind ever since.

"Mom, do you think I'm easy to deceive because I'm young? I'm young but I'm not stupid. I've been fooled by you once before, and I won't be fooled again this time."

"I don't care. I want to go to the banquet together no matter what you say today. Mom, I beg you, just take me with you."

Seeing Qin Huairu was indifferent, he turned to beg Jia Zhangshi: "Grandma, please help me say something good to my mother."

When Jia Zhang heard her eldest grandson's pleading, she thought that her daughter-in-law would have to pay for it anyway, so as long as she didn't have to pay, anything would be fine.

So he joined Bang Geng's team: "The child has begged you so much, what's the harm in taking him? Besides, our Bang Geng eats a lot, so he won't lose anything."

These words were like throwing a stone into the calm water. Qin Huairu immediately became excited: "Mom, you know what our family situation is like."

"I only get so little money every month. After paying for your retirement, how much is left after paying for the family's food and drink? You know how much is left, right?"

"To be honest, I only have fifty cents left. I plan to talk to the third uncle nicely when I present him with the gift, and ask him not to mind."

"Don't you think about it? If you take some stalks with you for this little money, will they be willing to eat it?"

Qin Huairu's words were well-reasoned, and Jia Zhang couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment, so she could only mutter:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so excited in front of the child?"

After hearing Qin Huairu's complaints, Banggeng stopped making noise. He blinked his eyes and looked at Jia Zhang, his face full of unwillingness.

After thinking about what his mother said again, an idea came to him: "Grandma~Grandma" He hugged Jia Zhang's arm and shook it:

"Just pay some money and let my mom take me to a banquet. I've never had a banquet before. Okay, okay?"

This boy is too strong. After all, Jia Zhang is an elderly person, and her arms hurt from being shaken so hard by him.

He pulled forward with all his strength and finally broke free: "Bang Geng, didn't I tell you that grandma has no money, so just listen to your mom and we'll eat at home, okay?"

"Grandma, you're talking nonsense. My mom gives you three dollars a month. What's wrong with paying me fifty cents to go to the banquet? I think you're deliberately not letting your eldest grandson have enough to eat."

"You taught me this. When I grow up, I won't have to honor you anymore, wuwuwu..."

Banggeng was so unwilling to hear her words that he sat down on the ground in anger and slapped his thigh while crying.

This scene made Qin Huairu feel familiar. After thinking about it, Banggeng looked exactly like Jia Zhang when she was making a scene in the yard. She shook her head with a wry smile.

As the old saying goes, there is always a counter for every thing. Jia Zhang, who thought she had a very hard heart, was shattered into pieces by Bang Geng's crying and making a fuss.

She stepped forward and helped her grandson up, coaxing him, "All right, all right, my dear. Stop crying and get up. Grandma promised you that I would pay fifty cents and let your mother take you with me, okay?"

Hearing this, Banggeng immediately burst into laughter, quickly got up from the ground, and threw himself into Jia Zhang's arms, wiping the snot and tears off his face.

As time passed, the preparations in the front yard were completed. Yan Bugui saw that the time was almost right and told Sha Zhu that he could start cooking.

The first thing he made was fried peanuts, which was something Yan Bugui had treasured for a long time and was reluctant to eat. He took them all out just for the wedding.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much, and after frying it, it would probably only fill two bowls, so he rummaged through the house and found five very small bowls, which he could barely fill five small bowls.

The smell of fried peanuts spread from the front yard all the way to the back yard, making adults and children drool. People at this time usually eat less oil and water, so they get hungry before noon.

Someone walked to the front yard from home and saw that Yan Bugui had already set up a set of tables and chairs and was sitting there waiting to receive gift money, so he went home to get the money, sealed the gift, and then sat down to wait for dinner.

At this time, seeing that there was nothing to do, the third aunt asked Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li to go to the gate of the courtyard together to greet Yu Li's parents and younger siblings.

When Sha Zhu saw Yu Li following Yan Jiecheng out of Yan's house, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In this moment of distraction, he almost burnt the cabbage in the pot.

If Lin Donglai hadn't come out of his house to remind him, Sha Zhu would probably have to pay the Yan family with cabbage today, which would have been a complete loss of both the wife and the vegetables.

The deaf old lady in the backyard followed the aroma of the food and walked slowly to Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle yard: "Zhonghai, whose family is having an event in our yard today? The food is so delicious."

When she learned that the wedding was held in the front yard by Yan Bugui's family and that the cook was Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled:

"No wonder this smell is so familiar, Zhong Hai, you don't have to cook for me at noon today. I want to go to the front yard to eat something delicious."

Once many people get old, they will become as willful and stubborn as children, without too many concerns.

The deaf old lady is one of these people. She can always hear clearly the words she likes to hear, but often refuses to communicate with those words that are not good for her on the grounds that she can't hear.

Hearing what the old kid said, the aunt smiled and asked, "Old lady, we need to give a gift money to eat in the front yard. How much do you plan to give?"

The deaf old lady smiled and held up five fingers: "Fifty cents, I can't eat much, fifty cents is appropriate."

After saying that, she walked slowly towards the front yard with her crutches. Seeing that everyone was surrounding Yan Bugui to pay their respects, she walked straight over as well.

Nowadays, when people go to a banquet, those who have good relations will give a little more as a gift, some giving two yuan or five yuan; but the most common thing is for an adult to give one yuan, and those who bring children will pay an extra fifty cents.

Qin Huairu asked Banggeng to go to the front yard to help keep count, one reason being to see how many gifts other families gave, and the other being to go home and call her over if there were few people around.

When the deaf old lady handed Yan Bugui fifty cents with a smile, Yan Bugui looked up and saw who was coming, then smiled and made a note, saying politely, "Please take a seat, old lady."

When he saw this, Bang Geng ran back to the middle courtyard quickly. When he got home, he said to Qin Huairu breathlessly, "Mom, someone just gave a fifty-cent gift."

"Let's go quickly. There are so many people in the front yard. If we are late, there will be no seats for us."

After Bang Geng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Jia Zhang. She reluctantly took out fifty cents and stuffed it into the boy's hand. Then he turned around and left.

Qin Huairu didn't think much about it and followed Bang Geng towards the front yard...
