Chapter 168 Full Moon Wine
“You’re back just in time, come on, take a full moon photo with us.”
Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling took their daughter to get vaccinated today, and they just returned The Kang family was invited by the big boss and the two to take pictures together. Ever since Kang Qirui scolded them that day, they hadn't spoken to Kang Qirui for several days, but they had indeed changed a lot.
The boss simply removed the "See BB first, take medicine" paper on his door, and no longer had any comments when Mom and Xianglan took care of Tianyou. The second brother and second sister-in-law also care a lot about Tianxiu. Not to mention that a bowl of water is even, at least they no longer ignore Tianxiu's feelings.
“The full moon is coming so soon?” Kang Qirui asked doubtfully, isn’t it the day after tomorrow? No one informed me that I would have the full moon party in advance.
Boss Guang also knew that Kang Qirui had misunderstood, and clarified: "No, today we will take the full moon wine first, and then we will put the full moon wine the day after tomorrow. Isn't this God Blessing Siyu doing it together? I was too busy that day, so I took the photo in advance."
That’s it! Kang Qirui refused to admit that he was wrong. He said stiffly: "I thought you didn't serve full moon wine."
"Haha, the boss will never save this amount no matter how much he saves." Azu held the camera and smiled: "And if he doesn't want to do it, how could Lao Dou agree?"
"Of course, a child only has one full moon in his life, and parents have to do it no matter what. "The boss responded with a smile, Kang Qirui hugged Kang Siqi, and the three brothers took a photo together holding their children.
Here we are taking full moon photos, and over there Lao Dou is writing invitations for full moon wine. Tiantu, who was bored, picked up one and read it. He looked at it for a while but didn't understand it. Then he asked: "Liang Shengguan? Who is it?"
"What Liang Shengguan?" Old Dou thought for a while before reacting: "Oh, Liang Shenghuan!"
"Arrived at Yuyu Hotel? Grandpa wrote it wrong. Uncle Old Dou booked this hotel not Ah." Tianxiu thought that Lao Dou had written the wrong hotel name and quickly reminded him.
"What? There is no mistake. I will read it to you." Lao Dou took the invitation from Tianxiu's hand and said, "I invite Mr. Liang Shenghuan to Xingxing Hotel, No. 58 Reputation Street Congratulations to my legitimate grandson Tianyou and granddaughter Siyu on their first full moon. You are so confused, you don’t know traditional Chinese characters, and you are uneducated.”
Tianxiu frowned, half of what he said was missing. He couldn't even recognize the characters. He said: "Our teacher said we are not allowed to write traditional Chinese characters. Now we all use simplified Chinese characters. How can we do this if we haven't learned it at all?"
"Uncle Gongqian is the same, no. You're just writing invitations to invite neighbors, why are you so formal?" Mom also felt that Lao Dou was a bit too pretentious.
"What are you talking about? This is called literary talent. Now it's my eldest son's grandson's full moon, or my grandson and grandson are all full moon together. Of course, the writing must be more educated and classy." Lao Dou has his own reasons and persistence.
My mother said helplessly: "Then you have to let others understand you. How will they know where to go to congratulate you if they can't understand?"
Old Dou waved his hand: "If you can't even understand traditional Chinese characters, it doesn't matter whether you come or not. The cultural level is different."
"My grandma doesn't understand it, and my grandma doesn't use it either?" Tianxiu will grasp the key points. , Lao Dou was so angry that he grabbed a bunch of invitations and went back to his room to write them.
On the day of the Full Moon Wine, before ten o'clock in the morning, Lao Dou summoned everyone to the hotel. The mother was so urged by him that she wore her shoes backwards. She complained: "The party doesn't start until five o'clock in the evening. What time is it now? Do you want it so early?"
"We are the host's family. In case those relatives who are far away arrive early. Go and ask Xianglan Achan to come out." Lao Dou felt that people who traveled far away may arrive early if they leave early. If the guests arrive, the host If there is no one to receive you at home, it would be a shame.
After an hour of dilly-dallying, everyone was ready to set off at 11 o'clock. Xianglan's mother came out with a piece of Baijia clothes and said: "Xianglan, help the child put on this clothes. "
"What is this?" Mom, I have never seen Bai Jiayi. The custom of wearing Baijiayi is more popular in the four provinces of Shanhe and Shanhe, but is rare in the south. Even Boss Guang, the son-in-law of southern Henan, didn't know what it was. He asked: "Where can I find such a lousy dress?"
"What a lousy dress." "This is Baijiayi. Your brother-in-law came to me from door to door," Xianglan's mother explained.
"Mom, why are you doing this? Guangfu doesn't like this." Xianglan stopped her mother from putting her clothes on Tianyou.
Old Dou was also advising beside him and said: "My mother-in-law, today is my grandson's full moon feast, so we have to dress nicer. If we wear this dress, others will think we are shabby." He doesn't know Bai Jiayi either, so of course he doesn't want Tianyou to wear him.
Xianglan’s mother still insisted on putting it on Tianyou: “What a shabby thing, I tell you, my in-laws, if you are setting up this Hundred Days Wine, you must wear this Baijiayi. This is the rule.”< br>
“It can’t be changed. If I had gone over and brought Baijiayi, I would have had to take him to Baijia Dinner.”
Azu can’t do anything else, and his understanding ability is very strong. , he said: "Food for hundreds of families? Don't you go door to door begging for food?"
"Yes." Xianglan's mother nodded, "Just go door to door to eat."
"How can this be done, Mom, don't do this. Even in the old society, our Kang family didn't ask for anything. Just have food." The boss shook his head and firmly objected.
“Boss, let alone give this dress to Tianyou. If anyone wears this dress, let alone begging for food, he can live comfortably just sitting under the overpass. "Azu knows how to joke.
"Mom, please don't make it difficult for me." Xianglan said helplessly: "I'll be embarrassed when Brother Niu and the others come." Xianglan was also not happy to let her child wear white clothes. Home clothes.
“It’s just the fellows from southern Henan who have to wear them even more when they come. Not wearing them will make them laugh. They know better.” Xianglan’s mother still insisted.
Kang Qirui looked at the time and saw that half an hour had passed. He thought for a while and persuaded: "Mom Xianglan, do you think this is okay? When the Hundred Days Banquet comes, let's treat our relatives in southern Henan to a special meal, okay? Then we can wear this Baijiayi. Today is the full moon. There is no such custom for wine, okay?"
"Okay." Xianglan's mother nodded and agreed. She felt that what Kang Qirui said was reasonable. Today is the full moon wine according to Guangfu custom. , then I won’t wear it. It’s time to dress again for the 100-day banquet.
Everyone finally went out to the hotel smoothly, but no one came. It was not until the dinner time that the first guest, cousin Bing, was welcomed.
"Cousin, why are you here just now? The banquet is about to start." Kang Qirui looked at his cousin Bing who came with two chickens.
“Oh, I can’t help it. It was last night when I received the invitation. I asked many people who didn’t know the words in it, so I went to school early this morning to ask for advice. Teacher, I just realized that you are here to serve drinks." Cousin Bingye said with a look of pain and helplessness
"It's all your uncle's fault. He wrote traditional Chinese characters to reflect his literary talent." The old woman said dissatisfiedly. When she wrote the invitation before, she had already been very opposed to it. Now it's fine. There is only one guest.
Many people in this era are illiterate. They may not be able to understand simplified Chinese characters, and there are still many illiterate people. Even if they study, many people stop studying after primary school and junior high school.
"Cousin, please go in and sit down first." Kang Qirui stretched out his hand to call cousin Bing in. You have to entertain even a guest.
"By the way, these two chickens are for the two cousins' wives." Cousin Bing picked up the chicken and handed it to Kang Qirui.
