Chapter 262 Family Banquet
In the afternoon, Zhang An and Su Ying chatted with the two elders for a long time in Mr. Su's small yard.
Originally, the old lady did not plan to let her granddaughter and grandson-in-law go home today, and planned to keep them at home for dinner in the evening.
But the old lady is in her seventies, and Zhang An doesn’t want her to be troubled or tired.
So in the afternoon, I worked with Su Ying and abducted the old lady and the old man back home.
Mr. Su and the old lady were very tough when talking to each other, but after Su Ying said a few words, they got in the car obediently.
After it was time to get off work, Su Shaowen called the homes of several of Su Ying's uncles.
The new son-in-law brought his married daughter back home because he needed to visit his relatives.
But today is not a holiday, it happens to be a working day, and Su Ying's uncles and aunts are all busy at work.
Even if Zhang An wanted to come and walk around, he would not find anyone at home.
Su Ying and Zhang An happened to go to see the old man and the old lady, and brought them back.
So Su Shaowen thought about it and called several brothers’ homes when they got off work and asked them all to come over.
This way, the younger daughter and son-in-law don’t have to run here and there, just go around and treat it as a family dinner.
Because there were a lot of people eating in the evening, Zhang An went to the kitchen and took the initiative to help.
It is indeed difficult to cook food for so many people, so Wu Qiuping did not refuse Zhang An this time.
When washing vegetables, Su Ying also wanted to help, but there was no room for anyone in the kitchen, so Zhang An asked Su Ying to go out and rest.
Although she learned a few tricks from Wang Fang during this period, she could only eat it.
And Zhang An was not willing to let her be smoked here.
The old lady has been watching Zhang An since he started changing knives, cutting vegetables, and making preparations.
Finally, when I saw Zhang An playing tricks very skillfully, I couldn't help but sigh that my little granddaughter was lucky enough to marry into a good family.
"Oh, Xiao An just came to the door, how can I keep him busy."
Su Ying's second aunt and second uncle just came in and saw Zhang An busy in the kitchen.
I quickly put down my things, grabbed an apron and tied it on, then went into the kitchen and changed Zhang An out.
“What’s the point of this, Aunt Second, it’s not enough to stir-fry.”
Zhang An smiled and talked to Second Aunt Su, then put the freshly fried fish-flavored shredded pork on a plate and took it out pot.
However, the last few dishes were still taken over by Aunt Su.
Zhang An just wanted to show off his cooking skills, but there was no place to do so.
When the dishes were almost ready, several of Su Ying's uncles' houses came to visit.
Mr. Su has four sons in total, but no daughters, so the two elders dote on Su Ying and Su Xuan a little.
Although from Su Ying's engagement to her wedding, several of her uncles and aunts came here.
But from these few times, Zhang An could clearly feel that the relationship between Su Shaowen and the other brothers was not that good.
For example, tonight, it was said to be a family dinner, but in fact, only one person came to the house of Su Ying's third uncle and fourth uncle.
Such a thing, not even in Zhang An’s house, even in the village, the whole family would go there.
Even if there are a few brothers whose relationship is not very harmonious on weekdays, there will be some quarrels.
But as long as it’s not too much, usually at times like this, everyone will try their best to liven up the scene.
Show it to people outside, how the brothers are united.
Even if there is any dissatisfaction between brothers, it will not be shown in front of outsiders.
Because even if there are any quarrels, in front of outsiders, you brothers are all a unit, so others don't dare to bully the family.
If everyone has some dissatisfaction and spreads it everywhere, then they really become enemies.
I am very sorry for this situation. If an outsider really wanted to bully this family, it would be very easy.
Soon, Wu Qiuping and her two sisters-in-law put away all the dishes.
Because other relatives were there, the dishes were not as outrageous as lunch.
"Hey, brother is willing to take out your treasure today."
Su Shaowen was very happy today, so he took out the jar of ginseng that Zhang An gave him before , greeting everyone.
Looking at the wine jar Su Shaowen brought out, several people at the table, including the old man, were quite surprised.
The ginseng used in this jar of wine is the old wild ginseng grown in Zhang An's space, and the effect is much better than that of outside.
Su Shaowen only drank twice since he brought it over.
Once was when I first got it, and once was when Zhang An and Su Ying were engaged.
He hid it like a treasure later, for fear that others would steal it from him.
But don’t tell me, if someone knows about it, someone might actually have an idea.
After all, such a big old mallet would cost tens of thousands to put out there, so you might not be able to buy it even if you give it money.
“Hey, if you’re happy today, drink some. You can’t just keep it at the bottom of the box.”
Just by opening the cork, you can already smell a fragrant and rich smell of wine. .
“Hey, I really wanted to drink this wine when I didn’t drink it, but now I feel it’s a pity to drink it.”
Su Shaowu, the second son of the Su family, held the golden wine in the cup He put the wine to his nose and took a long sniff and said.
“That mallet costs tens of thousands of yuan at least outside. After it is soaked into wine, just this small cup is worth two months of my salary. It is really a pity.”
Su Shaowu's words were recognized by the brothers and the old man next to him.
Although he said it was a pity, he raised the glass without hesitation at all.
This was not the first time they drank this stuff, so they just took a small sip and slowly savored it in their mouths.
The last time Zhang An came over to get engaged to Su Ying, Su Shaowen also shared it with everyone.
But they didn't know it at that time, so they ate it up in one bite just like the second senior brother ate the ginseng fruit.
When he was about to pour the wine again, Su Shaowen had already hidden the wine jar.
After finally finding out that Lao Bangchui made it, everyone regretted not tasting it slowly.
Of course, I’m not embarrassed to have another drink.
The main reason is that it is too scary. A cup costs hundreds of dollars, which is at least two months’ salary. No one will be scared after hearing this.
After dinner, Su Ying followed Wu Qiuping to make tea for everyone.
And Zhang An was chatting with the old man and several uncles in the living room.
At this time, the Su family brothers took out the red envelopes they had prepared and handed them to Zhang An.
Zhang An did not refuse. This was the rule for the new son-in-law to come to the house. All their close relatives would give red envelopes.
Mr. Su also took something out of his pocket, but it was not a red envelope, but a small object.
"Xiao An, the ancients often said that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. You can keep this small pendant. Wear it if you want to wear it, and keep it if you don't want to wear it."
The object the old man took out was a piece of white jade Guanyin. Pendant.
Zhang An didn't know much about jade, but when he took a look at the white jade Guanyin, he felt very comfortable just by the luster. It should not be an ordinary jade.
"Grandpa, this pendant is too valuable, I can't accept it." Although Zhang An didn't understand, he could still feel that it was a valuable item.
So Zhang An shook his head without thinking. He had no intention of accepting it.
Besides, this is in front of the old man’s sons. If he really takes the old man under his wing, he will definitely be complained about.
"Expensive or not, these are some small items passed down from home. Every child in our family has them."
Mr. Su looked at Zhang An's refusal and said sternly Face said.
"Yes, Xiao An, this is the old man's wish, just accept it."
Several of Su Ying's uncles and aunts also helped to persuade her, as if they didn't care at all.
When the old man took out the pendant just now, they all seemed to know it.
"Thank you, grandparents."
Finally, Zhang An saw Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping nodding towards him, then he accepted the pendant and hung it around his neck.
Seeing Zhang An put on the pendant, the old man and the old lady were very happy.
When the White Jade Guanyin was just worn around his neck, Zhang An felt a strange feeling in his mind.
This feeling is very familiar, just like the feeling before the last space change.
It’s just that Zhang An didn’t feel anything strange about his body this time.
Although Zhang Anting wanted to go into the space immediately to check it out, neither the time nor the location was suitable.
So Zhang An could only put aside his fear and curiosity and wait until he had an opportunity to talk about it later.
Until the end, it was getting late, and several of Su Ying's uncles and aunts also started to get up and prepare to go home.
Zhang An originally wanted to drive them off. Although he drank tonight, he didn't drink much, and a long time passed.
But as soon as Zhang An opened his mouth, they rejected him.
Because Su Ying’s brother-in-law, Su Shaolun, also drove over and could take everyone to home.
He runs his own business and just bought a van last year, which is quite convenient.
"Xiaoying, I asked for this talisman in the Guanyin Hall of Baiyun Temple. You put it on."
Before going out, the old lady took out a piece of blue cloth and wrapped it The good talisman is ready to be hung up by Su Ying.
“The Guanyin Bodhisattva in this temple is very spiritual. When Xiaoxuan got married, I also asked for one for her, and she got pregnant within a few months, so you have to work hard.”
Originally, Zhang An thought it was some kind of safety talisman for protection, but what he didn’t think of was that it was used to pray for a child.
When Su Ying heard the old lady speaking, what else could she say, so she could only obediently stretch her head over and put it on.
After all, this whole family is hoping that she and Zhang An will have a child soon.
After seeing everyone off, it was getting late. Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen didn't even watch TV today.
After cleaning up early, I urged the two of them to have a rest early, and then returned to the room.
At night, Zhang An was lying on the bed with his wife in his arms, doing nothing to get ready for bed.
After all, this is at the mother-in-law's house. No matter how hardworking Zhang An is, he should rest.
When they got up the next day, Zhang An and Su Ying were ready to go back.
On the one hand, the family is harvesting crops, and Zhang An must go back to help.
The second is that if they were here, Wu Qiuping would definitely have to ask for leave.
It’s close anyway, so you can come back anytime you want, so after breakfast, the two of them went back to Changqing.
When I got home in the afternoon, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo were not at home. They must have gone to the fields.
Zhang An wanted to help, but he didn't know where his parents were today.
But when I walked to the next room, it was already filled with rice harvested yesterday.
For the same few acres of land, Zhang An could tell that this year there was not as much rice recovered as last year.
But this is normal. After all, the yield of this blood rice is still somewhat different from the national hybrid rice.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon and the weather was good, so Zhang An cleaned the yard and took out the newly harvested rice to dry in the sun.
Although Zhang An’s yard is quite large, it is still not enough to dry the rice. If it is completely covered, only half of the rice will be drying.
But there is nothing we can do. It is already late in the afternoon, and it is impossible to grab a piece of land on the grain drying field.
Moreover, during this period, every household was harvesting rice and corn, and the old ladies had already taken over the grain drying fields in the village.
But Zhang An is not in a hurry, half of it is half as good as he can be.
And when you are sunbathing in the yard, you don’t have to worry about anything else except that you need to pay attention to the weather and fear of rain.
With Huatou's family here, any blind bird would dare to cause trouble in this yard.
Let alone eating millet, even if they fly, they have to fly around Zhang An’s yard, otherwise the white feathers with white heads will not be able to spare them.
So by drying the millet, Zhang An saves the time of taking care of it.
With only the young couple at home, Su Ying showed off her cuteness as a young daughter-in-law and had fun with Zhang An.
“Hey, husband, our rice is really red when peeled off.”
Su Ying looked at the blood-red rice on the ground, even though Zhang An had explained it to her before.
But she was still very curious at this moment. She grabbed a few grains of rice and peeled off the husks with her nails.
Looking at the rice as red as blood, Su Ying said excitedly.
"Of course, the rice husks are all red, so the rice can't be white."
The blood rice of Zhang An's family is different from the blood rice of other places. In many places The blood rice is all red and black, and the processed rice cannot even be seen to be red.
As for the blood rice grown by Zhang An's family, although it is blood red, it does not look black at all.
The rice cooked by then will be the same as the red sorghum rice cooked at home, but the color will be darker.
"Our family will all eat this kind of rice from now on. You should also eat more, it will help your body."
This blood rice not only looks blood red in color, but also after eating it It also replenishes qi and blood.
Especially for women’s bodies, it is even more helpful.
After all, women have a hard time. There are only a few days every month, and how much blood is lost.
The blood-replenishing effect of blood rice is definitely a good thing for women.
In the afternoon, Wang Fang, who went to the fields, led two horses on Wuyun Taxue and came back carrying fresh corn.
In other people's homes, a horse needs to be greeted and led by someone, otherwise it will easily become disobedient.
But in Zhang An’s house, don’t be too obedient when dark clouds are treading on snow.
As long as Wang Fang holds Wu Yun in front, Ta Xue will naturally follow her husband obediently.
Wuyun is as strong as ever, and still carries a lot of pockets.
It weighs at least five to six hundred kilograms, but it is just like a normal horse, so this weight is nothing to it.
