Chapter 310 Gifts
Mrs. Cheng was busy preparing lunch. It was rare for everyone to come back and gather together, so the lunch was naturally very sumptuous.
Lao Wangtou looked at the sumptuous dishes and wanted to drink two cups.
My wife and I always eat simply when we are at home.
Finally, we have good food, and we have children and grandchildren to look after. What’s wrong with having a drink?
Mrs. Zhao was not happy, and the old couple even quarreled.
Li Qiuyan was busy smoothing things over: "Grandpa, I brought you some good wine. Let's drink it when we have nothing to do in the evening. We have something else to do in the afternoon."
For the sake of his granddaughter, Lao Wangtou reluctantly agreed.
Sure enough, as Li Qiuyan said, I have something to do in the afternoon.
Not long after lunch, the chef came over.
Along with him came several women from the same village.
The family has a small staff, and Lao Wangtou is too lazy to put in so much thought. It is the chef's job to find people to buy ingredients for the chef who is paid directly according to the table price.
My family doesn't need to worry.
Just provide the venue.
Generally, the chef of this kind of banquet will come a day in advance to prepare all the ingredients that will be used tomorrow.
Boil what should be boiled, and fry what should be fried.
Then tomorrow we will only have to cook and stew.
Just by looking at the chef's posture, you can tell that the meal this time is quite tough.
Still six tables.
Although they don't have to take care of the main family, there are always things and places that these people can't touch when they are new here.
Therefore, the Wang family is really in a hurry.
At first, the children were running around playing.
When the chef put on the frying pan, the children were reluctant to move in even though it was hot.
The chef is very experienced in hosting this kind of banquet, and he has already brought food to these kids who are joining in the fun.
There are plenty of big fish and meat, but the fried meatballs are just a matter of adding more fillings.
When a bowl of meatballs came out, Mrs. Cheng picked up a bowl and handed it to Shitou. Shitou was very sensible and gave one to Mr. Cheng first.
This caused the chef and the woman who was helping the cook to praise the stone.
Shitou was a little embarrassed and returned to the house with the bowl in hand.
Awang took two meatballs from the bowl and handed them to Li Qiuyan to taste first.
Not to mention, the meatballs are fragrant and fresh out of the pan, and they taste really good.
Li Qiuyan took one bite and praised it. Awang narrowed his eyes with a smile and put the other one into his mouth.
Looking at Xianzhuan, he drooled a lot. He already had a lot of teeth. Zhao took a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.
Shitou is sensible, and the adults will not eat when they are full. After a symbolic taste, Shitou went out with the bowl and shared it with his friends.
Li Qiuyan touched Awang's head and asked Awang to go out and play with him.
She didn't have time to go out and run around. She and Wang Congcong were listening to Mrs. Zhao talk about the rules of hairpin etiquette.
Needless to say, this was the first time Li Qiuyan knew many things.
She had already heard about this from Du Zhaoyang's mother, saying that hairpins should be inserted into hairpins.
Looking at Wang Congcong's somewhat shy expression, one knew that Zhou Xiao should have gotten over it with her.
Regardless of whether Zhou Xiao is preparing it or Shopkeeper Hu is preparing it, the hairpin she will wear tomorrow is the hairpin brought by the Zhou family.
The afternoon was spent in a busy manner.
In the evening, when the Wang family and others came back, the courtyard had returned to calm.
The food is sitting in the pot, waiting for them to come back and eat together.
Lao Wangtou has been waiting all afternoon to drink the good wine Li Qiuyan brought.
Li Xiangnan, Wang Daniu, Wang Erniu and Jiang Zhe drank a lot with Lao Wangtou.
Not to mention that Lao Wangtou was happy.
After having enough wine and food, the table was cleared and everyone sat together chatting.
Li Qiuyan and Wang Congcong are rehearsing tomorrow's hair-raising ceremony under the guidance of Mrs. Cheng.
Wang Congcong prepared two sets of clothes. He heard that wealthy families have to change their clothes three times before hairdo ceremony.
Each time is more difficult than the last.
Once you arrive at the farm, the process is much simplified.
Wang Congcong only prepared two sets.
Just changing clothes once is enough.
When the process was almost smooth, Li Qiuyan sat down on the kang: "I'm so tired."
Mr. Cheng laughed at Li Qiuyan: "Are you tired now? When you get your haircut, it will be more grand than this."
Li Qiuyan looked different from the peasants. He couldn't believe that he would have to change his clothes three times in a row according to the rules.
I don’t know who will prepare the hairpin for her then?
Cheng was a little thoughtful as he thought about it.
Li Qiuyan felt frightened just thinking about it and quickly changed the topic.
He took out a small purse from his arms.
He handed it directly to Wang Congcong: "Sister, this is my haircut gift for you."
"How can I use you to give gifts?" Wang Congcong scolded Li Qiuyan while opening his purse. A large yellow twisted gold bracelet lay quietly in the purse.
Wang Congcong was almost dazzled: "This..."
Mrs. Cheng also came over to look at it: "Isn't it necessary to have one or two of these bracelets? Yanyan, the silver one is fine, the big gold bracelet is too expensive for you. I am still a child, and your mother is the one who gives the gift, so you don't need to give the gift. ."
With that said, he put the bracelet into his purse and gave it back to Li Qiuyan.
Li Qiuyan was helpless: "How can there be any reason to give a gift and not accept it?"
With that said, Li Qiuyan told the origin of this bracelet.
"If it wasn't you, how would anyone know someone like Congcong? Isn't it because of you? You can keep this bracelet and wear it." Who knew that after saying this, Cheng was even more unwilling to accept it.
"Auntie, this is the only hairpin gift in my life. Even if my wife doesn't mention it, I still want to buy it. But fortunately, I don't know the rules. If I buy a hairpin, it will be a joke. When the time comes, my sister will wear mine or my brother-in-law's. ?" Li Qiuyan joked.
Cheng and Wang Congcong were happy to hear this.
No matter how hard it was, Cheng couldn't keep giving in, so Wang Congcong finally accepted.
Looking at the expressions of Wang Congcong and Cheng, one can tell that they are extremely happy.
Sometimes a gift is not about the value, but about the thought.
When Li Qiuyan went to Fucheng, he didn't forget to mention Wang Congcong.
How can people not be moved?
Li Qiuyan smiled and shook his head. Seeing the two of them looking happy, he took out the gilt bracelet and said, "This is for grandma, how about it?"
