Chapter 433 is exaggerated
How could it be possible? It was an exaggeration. She was still snoring, but she probably wasn't fooled. It became a habit. She acted subconsciously when she heard it was freezing to death.
Observing Gu Wenxuan's expression, he didn't see any worry. Zhou Banxia thought for a while, it should be almost like this, otherwise there would be no time to joke around.
At half past six in the morning, at a quarter past midnight, the sun came up.
Without any time to talk, Zhou Banxia took Gu Wenxuan out first.
There is no sun and it is raining.
No matter how light the rain is, it is still a rainy day.
Gu Wenxuan was so happy that God allowed him to rest for a long time before he went in to clean up the two hundred square meters in the backyard and prepare enough fruits and vegetables for his wife and children.
Nowadays, there are too few types of fruits and vegetables, and even fewer fruits are suitable for consumption during pregnancy. When the season goes out, the fresh fruits and vegetables that can be stocked will be withered, so it is better to be self-reliant.
After breakfast, Gu Wenxuan took his book box to the workshop and entered the small inner courtyard on the pretext of accompanying his wife to the workshop to settle accounts and collect cash receipts, and got out of the way first.
After harvesting the fruits and vegetables early in the morning, I tidied the land that had not yet had time to sow seeds. I found the potted seeds in stock and started to raise seedlings for replanting.
Scatter flower seeds on the edges and corners, graft all the wild fruit trees that can be transplanted, and make some jam and soak it in boiling water.
When Zhou Banxia was in the hall, he "saw" Gu Wenxuan busy inside. Throughout the morning, no matter when he took a look inside, he never stopped.
Are children so important?
Gu Wenxuan proved with practical actions that his wife was still important, and the wife who cheated on him was even more important.
When we had our own tofu shop that delivered soy milk every morning, we carefully selected the soybeans and put them in a convenient location next to the soy milk machine.
Now that he has prepared calcium-supplementing dried seafood and replanted fruits and vegetables, he has not stopped. He has entrusted the Ma family to order lambs and not forget to order a few dairy goats.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Winter Solstice are also major festivals, not much worse than New Year's Eve. On this day, not only the moon but also ancestors are worshiped.
The ancestor worship ceremony was not slowed down because the renovation of the ancestral hall had not yet been completed. Work had been stopped two days in advance for cleaning, and the ceremony was still grand and solemn.
In the morning, whether it is the Gu family or the Zhou family, after breakfast, the men go out to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors as before, led by the head of each family.
In August, the autumn tiger is still very powerful, the morning and evening are slightly cooler, and it is almost noon when the whole set of ancestor worship rituals is completed.
The men worshiped their ancestors and prayed for blessings in the ancestral hall, while the women were also busy giving fruits, melons or bread to each other throughout the village.
Some flour cakes are made at home, and some are specially made by market shops for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The cakes vary in size, but they must be round, so they are collectively called moon cakes.
The sun was still shining brightly at noon, and the sun was so intense that people didn't want to move. The event of giving away fruits or bread ended before the men went home.
Although the Gu family sent out a lot of fruits and mooncakes in the morning, they received even more, among which the pomegranates and red dates that were ripe during the festival accounted for a large part.
The three people, Gu Erzhu and his son, who had just entered the house, were very happy and said in unison - This is good, no matter how much fruit mooncakes are given to each other, it is not as good as these two.
After standing all morning and eating a sumptuous lunch specially prepared for the festival, Gu Erzhu did not come to chat after dinner this time, and immediately announced that they would go back to their respective rooms.
Not to mention that he had to worship the moon at night, and he couldn't sit still for his two daughters-in-law, one of whom was not yet three months old and the other was about to give birth. Mrs. Liu also quickly waved to her two daughters-in-law to go back to their rooms to rest. Everything they needed for the evening was ready. As for the melon and fruit noodles they received?
She told her to go down and Gu Dahua's family and Yu Cai's family would make arrangements. There was really no need to accompany her. She would go back to her room to lie down later.
Ma Shan and Zhou Banxia, who were ordered to stay at home by Mrs. Liu this morning, smiled at each other, accepted the kindness of their mother-in-law and father-in-law, and went back to their rooms.
"Today's ancestor worship seems to have taken a long time. Are you exhausted?"
Watching Gu Erlang help Ma Shan, who was only about ten days away from the due date, back to the east wing safely, Zhou Banxia took the opportunity to ask.
"No, it's definitely easier to stand than to walk." As he said that, Gu Wenxuan motioned her to pay attention to the steps in front, "The main reason is that the ancestral hall has not been completed yet.
Instead of burning the paper money in the original place, I had to help move it after it was burned. After the ceremony, I chatted again, which made it seem that it took longer than usual. ”
Zhou Banxia wanted to ask what the father and son said when they met Mr. Gu and their grandparents with a small long lock in the ancestral hall.
After a moment's hesitation, I thought it would be better not to mention this wonderful holiday. Who knows if the grandparents and grandchildren might have said something unpleasant about it...
"By the way, when we gave each other melon and fruit mooncakes in the morning, did the eldest brother give me any gift in return? At first, my mother and sister-in-law talked to several families, but the eldest brother was the only one who didn't mention it.
Did our mother go to the eldest house with Bao Ya? Did Bao Ya say anything? Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't cause any trouble for my mother this time, right? ”
"Probably not." Zhou Banxia had naturally paid attention to the expressions of mother-in-law and sister-in-law before, "However, it would be easy for mother and Baoya to hide it from me and sister-in-law.
At that time, when Niang and Baoya went out, they not only visited the eldest family, but also stopped by a nearby house at the entrance of the village. Aunt Cai and the others helped to carry the return gifts.
As for the eldest family member, something was said or done that made my mother feel uncomfortable. I was afraid that after leaving, everyone in the family would have dispersed chatting and laughing.
There is one thing, my mother mentioned to my elder sister-in-law and me that the third cousin-in-law seemed to be out after her confinement, and she also asked me and my elder sister-in-law why we didn’t go together.
My mother said that my eldest sister-in-law was about to give birth and it was not good to go out and cause trouble for others. As for me, my mother said that she deliberately did not mention it. Who knew what my eldest sister-in-law would mutter about.
There is also the hall's sister-in-law, she is also at home today. When our mother went over, she was in the fourth hall's sister-in-law's room. Baoya said that the two of them are quite close. ”
"That means it's finally decided whose name the eldest son bought the shop under. In the morning at the ancestral hall, Shiro was hanging around the back of Dalang."
"What about Gu San?"
Gu Sanlang?
Gu Wenxuan burst out laughing. He stepped forward to the threshold of the small hall first and held Zhou Banxia's hand sideways. When she crossed the threshold, Fang smiled and said, "It's still the same."
"Where's my uncle?"
"What a busy man."
Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh softly, saying that smart people are smart people, and among the four brothers, her father-in-law and her father-in-law, Gu Laosi was the smartest.
Her father-in-law even told him to teach him how to make more money selling furs, but he just shook his head and refused to say anything. He just chose the vermicelli workshop at a glance.
Now I am so busy that I don’t even have time to talk to the old man. If it weren’t for today’s holiday, I would have been busy preparing for the vermicelli workshop.
"The old man is quiet this time. I haven't seen him come to your door for some time to say anything. I was worried that he would take advantage of everyone here this morning to say something to you in public."
