Chapter 483 Xiaoma
“Let’s do it, I’ll start preparations when I get back tonight.”
Zhang An had originally decided not to bother, but since Zhang Jianwen said so, let’s do it A lively event for everyone.
After leaving Zhang Jianwen’s house, Zhang An went to Zhou Yang’s house.
"You will have nothing to do later, Yoko. If nothing happens, come with me to help. I have something to discuss with you later."
Wait until the red eggs and Baijiaqian As soon as the transaction was completed, Zhang An directly requisitioned Zhou Yang.
Allowing him to go to the village with him would give him one more person to talk to, and Xiao Siqi's Full Moon Wine Zhang An planned to let Zhou Yang take charge of the kitchen, so he would definitely call him over to discuss everything later.
Instead of coming over later, it is better to call him away now.
“It’s already late at night, how can anything else happen?”
Zhou Yang didn’t even ask Zhang An what business he had with him, he just stood up and left with Zhang An .
Jumping from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, Zhang An had finished scattering the red eggs he brought from home.
At this moment, Zhang An was not just Zhou Yang alone, but also Zhang Laosan, Huang Ming and several other people in the village.
They all asked about Zhang An’s Full Moon Wine. When they learned that Zhang An would go to Zhou Yang to discuss the matter later, they took the initiative to follow him.
Coming over to help is the second most important thing. There are so many people and we don’t have much to do. The main reason is to come over and join in the fun.
There are very few banquets in the village these days, and there are basically no banquets throughout the year. Unlike later generations, there were banquets day after day.
So now as long as someone has a banquet, everyone likes to go there and join in the fun, instead of being afraid of eating one after another like in later generations.
Besides celebrating the New Year, the furry children in the village also like to eat feasts the most.
At this time, Zhou Yang also knew why Zhang An came to him.
Back home, Wang Fang looked at the people who came back with Zhang An and thought they were just coming to play at home as usual.
There are many young people in the village now, and there is not much entertainment at night, so as long as a group of people agree, they can just find one of them and set up a venue.
Generally, as long as you don't do this every day, no matter whose house you go to, the adults in his family won't say anything.
After all, in the future, my family will often leave, and I will rely on this group of people to help send them out, so they will treat them warmly.
Most people will prepare tea and melon seeds and peanuts for the reception. These are grown at home and are not worth much, but they are often liked by everyone.
Of course, in the past, in addition to these foods, the most basic thing was wine.
The most popular thing at that time was a few kilograms of loose wine and a plate of fried peanuts. This was simply the highest level of treatment.
But last year, a few drunkards in the village set up a scene and had a lot of fun. On the way home from drinking, they fell into a ditch and fell asleep.
His family was very worried and asked the villagers to get up in the middle of the night to help find him.
Everyone searched many places but could not find him. Finally, they found him sleeping soundly in the ditch in the village, which made everyone worry in vain.
After Zhang Jianwen asked about the reason, he got angry on the spot and scolded all of them.
Finally, everyone was ordered to get rid of this habit. If anyone couldn't get rid of this habit, their share of the village's money distribution at the end of the year would be cancelled.
Of course, everyone has no objections. After all, the money distributed to everyone by the village is earned by the village through various means, and everyone rarely contributes.
From then on, no matter whose house the village set up the venue, it also No one dared to mention a word of wine.
After all, the amount of money the village distributes to everyone every year is not a small amount. Even when the village first started distributing it a few years ago, it was several hundred per family.
And everyone knows that Zhang Jianwen always does what he says, he means what he says, and he doesn't joke with you at all.
Zhang An brought a pot of tea, and everyone gathered around the table to discuss. Wang Fang didn't care about them. After taking out the snacks, he went to play with little Siqi.
Zhou Yang was the perfect choice to be the chef, so after a few discussions with Zhang An, we started making arrangements.
There is no need to go out to buy vegetables this time, because there are many kinds of vegetables grown in Zhang An’s vegetable field.
As for meat, there is no shortage of it. After all, Zhang An’s family raises several big fat pigs, as well as chickens, ducks, geese, and fish.
Let him directly use local materials, and he can make many dishes.
As for the arrangements, they are just some other chores.
After hearing this, Wang Fang realized that everyone came here to organize the full moon banquet for Xiao Siqi.
She didn’t understand. The family had obviously decided not to do anything, so why did Zhang An call everyone here again?
But even though she had many questions in her heart, she did not speak at this time. Ask out.
Full Moon Wine is different from weddings, weddings, weddings, weddings, and funerals. It usually only takes a day to do it. Some people even only have one meal, so it won't be too much trouble.
There are still four days until Xiao Siqi's full moon. You only need to prepare one day in advance. You can start a few days later in the evening.
Zhang An has always been most afraid of this kind of trouble, but with Zhou Yang helping to take care of it, he was like a normal person.
It doesn't matter to Zhou Yang. He has helped many families in countless nearby villages hold many banquets. This set of procedures is familiar to him, but it is just a casual thing.
“By the way, third brother, how many kilograms of kiwi fruits did you pick this year?”
After talking about the main business, everyone started to set up the dragon gate array, and then someone mentioned it The kiwis were just harvested this year because everyone here has grown them at home.
The reason why I chose Zhang Laosan is because their family is the one that grows the most kiwi fruit among all the people here.
In this village, apart from Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye, Zhang Laosan is the one who grows the most kiwifruit, so everyone asks him directly.
"Hey, there are not many this year, only less than 10,000 jins."
Speaking of this, Zhang Laosan was very happy. Their family sold nine pounds this year. For more than a thousand kilograms of kiwi fruit, Lu Cheng earned almost 10,000 yuan.
This is because of the impact of the flood. Otherwise, this number could have doubled again, because he used all the land at home to grow kiwi fruit.
In fact, at first he thought that his work this year was in vain. First despair and then hope appeared, which was the reason why he was happiest.
“What about your family, Lao Liu?”
Lao Liu is not really Lao Liu, his name is Yang Lao Liu.
Like Chen Laoliu's family, they have many children and the adults are not very good at naming them, so they simply arrange them in order of one, two, three, four, five and six, and whoever comes first is the oldest.
"Hey, our family doesn't weigh more than 10,000 pounds."
When Yang Laoliu heard Zhang Laosan ask him in turn, he smiled and answered.
"Go, go, listen to his nonsense. The few acres of land my family owns can't even harvest 10,000 kilograms without disaster." At this time, Yang Laoliu's brother Yang Laowu exposed him mercilessly.
Although one walks five and the other walks six, they are actually twins. Yang Laowu is only a few minutes older than Yang Laoliu, so usually the two are completely different. He doesn't look like a brother.
"Why am I talking nonsense? Although our family only harvested three thousand catties this year, do you think it is less than ten thousand catties?"
Although it was revealed by Yang Laowu Although Yang Laoliu didn't care at all, he became even more proud.
Now it was everyone's turn to be speechless. Three thousand catties is indeed less than ten thousand catties. No one can refute this.
It’s just that his weight of less than 10,000 kilograms is not a little bigger than Zhang Laosan’s less than 10,000 kilograms.
After the date was decided and everything was probably arranged, everyone had a great time bragging. When they came to their senses, they realized that it was already getting late, so they got up and went back to their respective homes.
At this time, the little guy had already been carried to bed by Su Ying, and Wang Fang was still downstairs.
In normal times, she would have fallen asleep a long time ago, but she is still awake now, just waiting for everyone to leave before she can ask Zhang An again.
"Xiao An, didn't our family agree not to do it before? Why are you suddenly thinking about it again?"
In fact, the happiest person in the family to be able to organize a full-moon banquet for Xiao Siqi is Wang Fang'er. Not Su Ying as a mother.
After all, Su Ying grew up in the city, so she didn't really care about this aspect.
“Actually, I didn’t think about it, but when I went to my uncle’s house, he told me that if our family could afford it, we would put on a show to make the village lively, so I called them over. "
After Zhang An repeated Zhang Jianwen's words of persuasion to his mother, Wang Fang probably understood it.
"Then, on the day when our family will be together for the full moon, let's go and pick up your grandparents."
When Wang Fang said this, he was a little intermittent, and he kept saying it. Looking at Zhang An, he was afraid that he would be unhappy because of this matter.
In fact, she knew that if she just picked up Zhang An's grandmother, Zhang An would definitely not say anything, but would be very happy.
But this time she also brought Zhang An’s grandfather with her. Zhang An had never had a good relationship with his grandfather, and she was still very reluctant to associate with him there. Wang Fang was worried. The place is here.
"Okay, I'll pick her up the day after tomorrow. Grandma hasn't seen little Siqi yet."
Zhang An agreed very readily, which made Wang Fang a little unbelievable, but then she heard that the words only mentioned the old lady, but did not mention a word about the old man. She thought that Zhang An just went to pick up the old lady. It’s no wonder Zhang An’s reaction.
"And your grandpa, please take him over too, otherwise he will be alone at home, and he also wants to come over and take a look at little Siqi."
So, Wang Fang added another sentence.
Zhang An did not speak this time and just nodded to his mother.
Wang Fang thought that Zhang An didn’t know anything about her secret phone call to Old Man Wang, but in fact, Zhang An had known about it for a long time.
It’s not that he didn’t hear clearly just now, it’s just that he is not so disgusted with Old Man Wang now.
Because he knows that Old Man Wang's temperament has changed a lot in the past two years compared to before. Although it is due to external material factors, it has indeed changed.
However, it is basically impossible in this life for Zhang An to respect him as much as he respects his second grandfather or grandmother.
After all, when he was a child, the shadow left by Old Man Wang's face on him was so profound that even time could not fade it away.
On the other hand, he was able to forgive Old Man Wang because he took Wang Fang's thoughts into consideration.
No matter how bad it was before, he was his mother's biological father after all.
Maybe it doesn’t matter when you are young, but when you get older, obsession will appear.
That’s why Zhang An didn’t want his mother to have any unresolved problems in the future, so he chose to forgive Old Man Wang. After all, he didn’t have much time left.
Afterwards, Zhang An did not go to bed directly, but went to the circle to add some night grass to the Dahei couple.
In the past, Zhang Jianguo did this because he could do it easily when feeding the sheep.
But it can’t be done now. The Dahei couple except Zhang An will not let anyone else near the horse pen.
Because the white horse at home has been raising cubs for a year, I calculated the time and estimated that Ponyboy was born in the past few days.
It is also for this reason that the tempers of the Dahei couple became more and more violent, so they seemed to avoid strangers.
But because he brought the cubs with him, he could not let them starve, so Zhang An could only do this by himself.
When Zhang An came to the horse pen with an armful of grass in his arms, he found that Ta Xue was no longer standing as usual, but was lying on his side on the ground.
As soon as he saw this, Zhang An knew that Ta Xue was going to give birth tonight.
But he was not panic at all, because he had already delivered babies to many animals in his family, and he was already considered an experienced obstetrician among veterinarians.
Zhang An just watched quietly in the horse pen, because animals can give birth without human intervention, so he tried not to interfere, so that the babies would not be born with any defects.
For example, in Zhang An’s sheep flock, the lambs that Zhang An pulled out due to dystocia survived, but when they grew up, they were not as good as the other lambs. Their endurance was the most obvious. place.
Dahei, who used to look like a scumbag, is now lowering his head and licking his wife.
Zhang An felt happy, it turned out that there was something in this world that this guy cared about.
After Zhang An waited for more than half an hour, the pony cub in Texue's belly was finally born smoothly.
There was no problem at all during the whole process, and there wasn’t even anything unusual when walking in the snow.
After a long time, under the licking of the two horses, Dahei and Taxue, the wet pony was licked dry.
At this moment, he slowly lifted himself up from the ground with four tiny hooves, looking trembling and frightened.
The little guy has green and black fur, which is very similar to Dahei. He must have inherited many of his genes.
Only a little bit of white remains among the tens of thousands of black spots on his forehead. This should be inherited from Texue.
But Zhang An felt it was a pity, because what he most hoped the pony could inherit was the white hair on its four hooves.
"Xiao An, why have you been feeding a horse for so long?"
Wang Fang, who had been in the room, saw Zhang An came out and didn't go back for a long time, so he ran over .
"Our mare just gave birth, so I stayed here for a while."
Wang Fang pointed to the pony and said to her mother. When Wang Fang saw the little guy, he immediately jumped up I became very happy, after all, who wouldn’t like the prosperity of the six animals?
