my home is in the northeast

176. Running water mat

After chatting with Zhang Changgui and Sun Cuifang for a while, everyone gave the place to the couple and Zhang Yuhe with winks.

Zhang Yuhe was a little nervous.

Rong Dai took Zhang Yuhe's hand and sat down beside her, "Xiaohe, this is your father."

"...Dad." Zhang Yuhe called softly.

"Hey, hey!" Chi Haoting responded excitedly, holding Zhang Yuhe in his arms and hugging him vigorously. "finally found you."

Zhang Yuhe's uneasy heart was relieved, and he gently hugged him back.

"For the past 20 years, your mother and I have been thinking about this day and night. If it wasn't for..."

"Mom, how did I lose it back then?" This is something that Zhang Yuhe and even the Zhang family can't figure out.

Knowing that Zhang Yuhe's biological parents were coming, Sun Cuifang found out the small clothes Zhang Yuhe was wearing back then in advance, and put them on the kang.

Rong Dai touched the delicate little dress and burst into tears.

"Your mother was pregnant with your younger brother back then, and you were not yet three years old. Your mother couldn't take care of you, so the family hired a nanny to take care of you. As a result, we went for an examination that day, and when we came back, we found that both the nanny and you gone..."

"So that's the case." Zhang Yuhe nodded.

But he was even more puzzled.

Taking someone else's child away these days is nothing more than a few possibilities.

The first is that they have no children and want to have a child.

The second is to steal the child and sell it for money.

The third is to ask for a sum of money from the child's biological parents.

But none of these three things happened, and he was abandoned hundreds of kilometers away. Fortunately, it was not freezing at that time, otherwise the weather in the Northeast would have frozen to death for a child under the age of three in one night.

You don't want money, and you don't want children. Why is the nanny stealing the children?Is there a grudge?But it's obvious that his parents don't look like them.

In fact, the family of three doesn't have much to say.During the 20 years of Zhang Yuhe's growth, the husband and wife did not participate. At most, they could only ask how the past years were going, but seeing Zhang Yuhe like this, he knew that he was well-educated and did not grow crooked.

This is probably the most gratifying thing for Rong Dai and Chi Haoting.

Wiping away their tears, the three of them opened the door, but they couldn't close the door and talk non-stop.

"Yu Bao'er, take your parents to wash up, let's have dinner." Sun Cuifang yelled.

"Hey." Zhang Yuhe took the two of them to wash their faces, at least to wipe away their tears and clean their hands.

When they came back, the kang table had already been set up on the kang, and all kinds of dishes were full on the table.

During the dinner, Zhang Changgui and Sun Cuifang frequently urged Rong Dai and his wife to eat more vegetables. Seeing Rong Dai's small appetite, they were taken aback and thought it was because they couldn't eat their family's food. Only after Zhang Yuhe explained did they know that they were full after just a few mouthfuls. .

Sun Cuifang couldn't help sighing, how could she maintain such a good figure.

After eating and drinking some tea, Rong Dai and his wife left.

The Zhang family definitely couldn't accommodate them anymore, and they didn't want to disturb them, so they stayed in a hotel in the county seat.Zhang Yuhe and Rong Ziyan sent them back and sat for a while before returning.

"Yu Bao'er, your mother has such a good temperament." Sun Cuifang sighed.

"..." Looking at his mother, Zhang Yuhe always felt that these words were really weird.

After Sun Cuifang finished speaking, she also felt quite awkward. Looking at her son's expression, she knew that she felt the same way. The mother and son looked at each other, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing, Yu Baoer, you still have to get used to it quickly, after all, they are your biological parents."

"Well, I know Mom."

"Oh, by the way, the food we ate today was made by the chef we invited, and it was recommended by Yihu. What do you think?" Zhang Changgui waited for the girls to finish laughing before opening their mouths.

"I think the taste is okay, but have you ordered all the dishes?" Zhang Yuhe nodded seriously.Weddings and weddings are big events, and if they are done well, everyone will look good, but if they are not done well, they will feel awkward for several years.

"Let me see." Zhang Changgui took out a piece of paper from under the kang mat, "The names of the dishes are all written on it, you choose."

Zhang Yuhe thought that the names of the dishes were all written on the menu, so it shouldn't be difficult to understand, but when he opened it, he looked confused.

The names of these dishes all look like auspicious words, who can tell him what kind of dish it is?

She asked Sun Cuifang one by one, but she didn't know everything, so she invited the master chef over, asked them one by one, and finally ordered 24 dishes.

24 dishes are already a high standard for them.

However, not all of the 24 dishes are hot dishes. Among them, there are four kinds of dried fruit snacks on the table, all of which are their local snacks, dried fruits.

Behind the four table dishes are eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, one soup, two main courses, and the last dessert or fruit.

The rest are not important, the main thing is the sixteen dishes of eight cold and eight hot dishes, which are definitely the focus.

After discussing with his parents, and the master chef, Zhang Yuhe drew up a menu and showed it to the third sister and third brother-in-law in the evening to see if there was anything else that needed to be modified.

In fact, generally this kind of food is ignored by newcomers and young couples. After all, they can't eat a few bites. They are all made with the help of parents and family members, but they have to show them.

After two days of busy work, it's the right day.

The master chef led a professional team and brought a full set of tables, chairs, benches, plates and chopsticks, but this was obviously not enough, and he borrowed some tables and chairs from several close neighbors.

The team of master chefs is mainly responsible for cooking and seasoning, and some manual work still needs help. Fortunately, the Zhang family is willing to pay, and the money given is quite a lot. Many women in the village come to help.

Although this kind of help is said to be the last to eat, there are special dishes reserved for them, and they are all the same good things.There is also a red envelope to take, and everyone is very happy to help.

The running water banquet was held for three days. In fact, not everyone came for three days, most of them came in exchange, but the Zhang family had to accompany them for three days.

Rong Dai and the others were considered distinguished guests, and they came from a big city. The Zhang family valued them very much, and they all sat at the main table.Zhang Yuhe, his three brothers, and Sun Yong all helped with the work, busy inside and out, serving dishes and delivering food.

Originally, Zhang Changgui and Sun Cuifang were unwilling, but these were guests, so how could they ask them to help with this.

But these people are all voluntary, and they are more interesting than sitting there eating and drinking.Several people were very excited.

The four plates of dried fruit on the table should be placed on the table in advance. Melon seeds and peanuts are not rare now. The Zhang family deliberately replaced them with fresh fruits and candies. The four red, green and green ones are also pretty.The courtyard of the Zhang family is very large, and there are ten tables directly set up, and those who can sit here are all very well-connected.

There are also many tables in the courtyard of the Sun family next door, and the others are on the street outside the courtyard.

It's not a faux pas either.There are many people coming to the water table, and no one can set up so many tables. Most people set up tables on the street, but they just greeted the neighbors in advance and stopped a little at the street corner to avoid cars. I drove in and found that I couldn't get through.

The Zhang family's location is not bad, it won't get in the way, and a row of tables are set up along the street.

The stove is a shed not far away. Several large stoves have been temporarily built in the open space in the past two days, and they are continuously sending out fried dishes.

The six of Zhang Yuhe and the others held a wooden tray each, and eight dishes could be put on it at once, which happened to be cold dishes for a table, and they were delivered all at once.

Fatty Sun Yong looked at the dishes on the tray and gulped.

Although they are all cold dishes, they all look delicious.

Preserved egg in ginger sauce, big peeled skin, tomato mixed with sugar, handmade red sausage, pork elbow in sauce, cucumber, tiger skin chicken feet, roast chicken...

Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they usually look inconspicuous, but this sudden combination has a great visual impact and is very appetizing.

But now these dishes are no longer called by their original names, they all have very rich and auspicious names.Although Zhang Yuhe had read the menu, he still couldn't remember it.Anyway, it is probably some auspicious words such as the house full of gold and jade, and the dragon and the phoenix bring prosperity.

After the eight cold dishes were served, basically everyone began to eat and drink lively.

The wine is from Lang's family, and Uncle Lang's family also rushed over to attend the banquet.Zhang Yuhe went to bring back the wine in batches a few days in advance, but they were taken out in rotation in the jade bell, and these wines were not of the same year.

Everyone couldn't help but praise the wine when they drank it. Even Uncle Lang himself felt that the wine had a bit of a taste, and it was more mellow than the usual new wine.But I couldn't figure it out, and in the end it could only be attributed to the good atmosphere, good food, good drinks and fun.

Soon the hot dishes came up one after another.

Many dishes have been prepared in advance, and now it's just the last process, otherwise dozens of tables really wouldn't be able to serve.

Next to Songhua Lake, this fish and shrimp are naturally indispensable.

Although there is no Daozi fish, they are all special products of Songhua Lake. Big fish and fresh shrimp are put on the table, and there are two dishes of fish alone.There are also other mountain delicacies, such as the authentic scrambled eggs with wild black fungus in the mountains, and ginseng chicken with real wild ginseng whiskers in it.

There are Mongolian, Manchu, and Xian people here, and the dishes are also very distinctive.

After eating good wine and good food, the atmosphere became lively.

Zhang Changgui brought his uncle Hu Feng to the table to toast. Fortunately, Hu Feng is from the Northwest, and he really can drink. Otherwise, even if there are dozens of tables with a glass, most people would be drunk.But Hu Feng was just slightly drunk.

Rong Ziyan touched Zhang Yuhe, "Your brother-in-law can really drink, I guess three or five bottles of liquor are nothing."

"That is, I don't know whose brother-in-law it is." Zhang Yuhe was very proud.On their side, those who can drink are capable. Although he can also drink, compared with Hu Feng, he is obviously not at the same level.

After the hot dishes were served, Zhang Yuhe and the others basically had nothing to do. The remaining soup and staple food had to be served later, and the dessert was the last thing. Many people didn't eat it and just took it away.

Zhang Yuhe dragged his friends to his room.The places outside are basically full, and his side is specially reserved.There are not many dishes, and the summer is not afraid of the cold.

"Come on, brother, you have worked hard, let me toast you first!" Zhang Yuhe raised his head and poured a glass of white wine.

Sun Yong and others hurriedly persuaded, "You are all on your own, don't be too polite, let's drink less and eat more!"

"Yes, Xiaohe, let's eat, we can't drink too much."

"Hey, I'm so happy. Just this one. Come, let's eat!"

Sun Yong and the others couldn't bear it long ago, grabbed their chopsticks and started eating.
