After the big fool gets married

What happened at the uncle's house that afternoon, Wu Xuan did not see it with his own eyes.

Three days later, Wu Wentao came to his house to deliver pickles and told him that Wu Dacheng had been persuaded.

Wu Xuan punched him appreciatively, "I knew I was right about you! Sure enough, you are reliable! Come on, tell me, how did you convince uncle?"

Wu Wentao said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, mainly relying on my mother."

Wu Dacheng was born when the two dynasties alternated, witnessed the fall of the previous dynasty and the establishment of the new dynasty, and suffered a lot because of his birth.So I developed a very frugal temperament, and I was reluctant to use too expensive things.

"My mother praised you well, saying that you are filial and considerate of my father's hard work in winter. My mother also said that if my father does not agree to accept this horse, next time you will definitely send it with the horse and cart. In order to prevent you from spending any more money, he'd better accept it." Wu Wentao said.

Wu Xuan laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Auntie is amazing."

Wu Wentao continued: "My father actually understands it in his heart. He just wants us to save some money and save it for future use, not to spend it on him."

"You really should save some money, after all you still have to save money to marry a wife." Wu Xuan picked up the pickles and walked to the kitchen, "But I don't need it, I already have a wife."

Wu Wentao was used to Wu Xuan's showing off from time to time, he had already calmed down and didn't want to hit him at all.

Wu Wentao patted his chest to comfort himself, and then chased him to the kitchen, "Brother lobby, I have one more thing to do this time. The daughter-in-law of the third bedroom, Wenxiang, gave birth to another son. Tomorrow, the full moon will serve wine. My father asked me to ask you going or not?"

"What do you think, uncle? Is he going?"

Wu Wentao said: "My father said that importing children is a big deal. Although Sanfang doesn't behave properly, the children are still our children."

"Oh." Wu Xuan's tone was rather cold.He doesn't have the concept of a big family like an uncle. In his eyes, Wu Wenxiang's children are just Wu Wenxiang's children. What does it have to do with him?

"My father said that he used to come back after eating with a member. If you don't want to go, he will give you the member's money for you." Wu Wentao said.

"No need, I'll go too." Wu Xuan said.The uncle has a good temper, and if he goes alone, he will be controlled by the old lady, so he can help a little if he goes along.

"Well, you go to my house first tomorrow morning, and we go there together."

-

The next day, Wu Xuan took a purse full of copper coins, and took Doudou, who was tightly wrapped in a cloak, to the uncle's house.

Doudou said: "Brother Xuan, I remember that the full moon wine is not only accompanied by money, but also a gift."

"What kind of gift?"

"Brown sugar, eggs, cloth, etc., put them in baskets." Doudou has seen other people in the village serve full moon wine, and the guests all carry baskets.

"It's okay if you don't bring it." Wu Xuan didn't care about these details. He didn't really want to go at first, so it would be nice if he could give money.

Arrived at the uncle's house.

Seeing that their hands were empty, Sun Guihua handed over the basket in her hand and said, "I knew you were too lazy to prepare gifts."

Wu Xuan took the basket and said, "Auntie Lao is worrying."

Sun Guihua said again: "Is the money ready?"

Wu Xuan took out a heavy purse full of copper coins from his arms, "Get ready."

"Yo ho, so many!" Sun Guihua exclaimed, "How much money is in it?"

"It should be five hundred words." Wu Xuan looked at Doudou.These purses containing copper coins were prepared by Doudou, and they are specially used to give lucky money when visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

Doudou nodded.These purses contained a total of [-] Wen.

"Oh, how can you get so much money?" Sun Guihua's face was full of pain.She hurried to the bedroom, took out a much smaller empty purse, counted two hundred coins and stuffed it into it.Then put this purse into Wu Xuan's basket.

She handed back the remaining [-] Wen in the purse to Wu Xuan, and instructed: "Put the money away, and don't let anyone in the third room see it."

-

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, except for Wu Datian who runs a shop in the city, most people have already returned to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, Wu Sancheng's full moon wine has many guests.

Wu Dacheng and Wu Xuan handed over money at the entrance, and the person in charge of recording sang loudly: "Wu Dacheng, two hundred Wen, a basket of eggs. Wu Wenxuan, two hundred Wen, a basket of eggs."

After writing the names, Sun Guihua lifted two baskets and said, "I'll go to the house to see the children, you go and sit down."

The men eat directly in the front yard, and the women have to take the basket to the house to see the baby, and then go to the backyard to have a banquet.

Wu San was originally entertaining Xiao Xue's parents and elders, when he saw Wu Xuan and his party, he immediately greeted them very enthusiastically, "The two scholars are here, come, come, please take a seat."

Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao were confused by his overly attentive attitude.

Wu Dacheng said: "Third brother, go greet the guests, we can sit wherever we want."

"That won't work. The two nephews are both scholars and distinguished guests. How could they be so negligent." He led Wu Xuan and the others to the main table in the room, "Please sit down."

Wu Dacheng was a little hesitant. His younger brother knew it himself. The third brother must be so enthusiastic about them, there must be something tricky.

Wu Sancheng said: "If you don't sit here, you can only go to the yard. It's freezing outside, we are not afraid of being strong, but Doudou is so small, I am afraid that I can't help freezing."

Wu Xuan glanced at him, "Okay, we'll just sit here."

It is true that the house is much warmer than the yard, so he is naturally happy to make Doudou a little more comfortable.As for Wu Sancheng's purpose for doing this, he was not worried.there is always a solution to a problem.

Wu Sancheng personally served them two plates of candied fruit, and said a lot of compliments to Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao, even Doudou praised them, before going to the yard to greet other guests.

Wu Wentao wondered, "Why did third uncle change his sex all of a sudden?"

Wu Xuan looked at Wu Sancheng who was busy in the yard. There was only tea on the other tables, but no fruit plate and candied fruit. It seemed that they were indeed treated with dignity.

Wu Dacheng said: "I also think that something is wrong with your third uncle."

"Whatever happened to him, anyway, we will know later." Wu Xuan said.Wu Sancheng must have a plan for this, just wait for him to say it himself.

-

The four drank a few cups of tea, chatted for a while, and saw Wu Sancheng leading the third grandfather over.

"Third Uncle, you sit inside, the room is warm." Wu Sancheng said courteously.

The third grandfather was very helpful, he entered the house with a walking stick, and saw the four people in the house at a glance, "Oh, Dacheng, you guys came so early!"

Wu Dacheng got up, "Third Uncle, sit down."

The juniors also got up and called out the third grandpa.

The third grandfather happily sat down, and greeted everyone, "Everyone sits down, we are all a family, why are you being polite to me!"

Wu Sancheng said: "Third Uncle, the child will be dressed later, I will carry it over to show you."

"Don't worry! Show the guests first, we're not in a hurry!" The third grandfather waved his hand and asked about Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao's homework.

Wu Sancheng suppressed his expression, said nothing, and went outside to prepare for the banquet.

I don't know if it's because Wu Sancheng has really become generous, or because Wu Xuan's table has been given special care.Anyway, the food in front of Wu Xuan and the others was much richer than the food and wine for banquets held in ordinary villages.

Wu Xuan helped Doudou take off his cloak, and picked out a few dishes for him to put in a bowl.The third grandpa didn't have any expression on his face when he saw it, and turned his head to talk to Wu Dacheng.

Halfway through a meal, Wu Sancheng came over with the child in his arms.

"The new clothes have been changed, and all the guests outside have seen them, so I'll wait for Uncle San to take a look." Wu Sancheng handed the child wrapped in red swaddling clothes to Grandpa Third.

The third grandpa took it over, and said to Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao, "Wen Xiang has two sons, you also have to treat your heirs with treats."

Wu Xuan looked puzzled, Shangxin?How to care?He and Doudou can't have children.

"No matter whose family it belongs to, they are all descendants of our old Wu family!" Wu Sancheng said with a smile on his face, "It happens that the two scholars are here, let's give the child a name, and let the child have some style."

"Okay!" Wu Wentao was eager to try, he hadn't given anyone a name yet!He said: "The child is from the generation of 'You', his brother is called Youying, right, so the younger brother also has to—"

Seeing that Wu Wentao was really about to decide on a name, Wu Sancheng quickly interrupted him, "Wenxuan is better at learning, why not let him take it."
