Country banquet

The old sun was scorching the countryside, the dog was wheezing and sticking its tongue out at the bottom of the tree, and the leek lettuce hung its head. Dry, in the country. The rice field not far from my uncle's house had just planted seedlings, with a weak neck, a yellow face, a lack of water, and the water of the Qingshui River was also skinny. It took time to bring it in, slowly like an old man who could not clean his urine and was sparse, but he was already alive. So stiff like a painting.

In the morning, the third uncle asked the chef to play the trumpet. When the song in the loudspeaker came out, the sun in the country stretched out and complained, "who got married so early?" Girls are also working lives.

When the chicken woke up, the duck and goose laughed and bent down, ran out of the house and rushed all the way to the river to take a bath.

The man tidied up his belongings and didn't do any work today. The third son of the old Lin family sent Erya eggs to wash them. There was nothing to do for several years, so they got together to have a good time. If a woman cooks on a fire, she will go and spend money not eating for nothing.

So these urgent flames left behind the work in the field, gathered from all directions, the face of the joy like the Spring Festival. After a whole spring of empty stomach, I ran into a banquet and made a meal this afternoon.

The woman led the children, and the man and his wife occupied the table before 09:30. The man set up the table of the eight Immortals and held the stool to make up the count. How many people are there at your table? Five people, no. There must be a table for eight. Okay, San, you and your grandson come to our table.

Hey! Sister-in-law Xinghua, did you take the plastic bag? Apricot flower touch pocket, hey, took two, they are not enough.

The mouth of Chinese cabbage skimmed, unfortunately, didn't you go out and sit at the table without packing?

The apricot flower squatted on the ground of the third uncle's house, stirring clams and scallions in a large aluminum basin with both hands. All the spitting stars she spit on fell in the vegetable basin.

Anyone will remind you, hey! Apricot blossom, you don't need to put flavor in this cold dish, Xianling.

Apricot blossoms are not stupid. If there is grass in the trough, the donkey will not starve to death. If you don't eat, it will save me to eat.

Third uncle did not hire housekeeping, villagers and neighbors to help, women inevitably steal mouth, do not call stealing, now life can not eat the poor. Don't be afraid of the fat belly when you open a restaurant.

Just out of the pot of beef, chicken and prawns all want to try it. In the past, the owner of the red and white wedding in the village wanted to find a reliable person to watch the vegetable pot oil balls. There is no such thing to do now, isn't it? Don't buy a banquet if you don't want to give it to others.

But I really dare not compliment the dishes cooked by these women, and the mud of their fingernails is not cut off, and the unspeakable smell of some women who do not take a bath for a long time smokes people by their side.

Set the dishes, full of a few old ladies. Spitting stars don't say anything, and occasionally I take out a crotch with my boss.

The trumpet pipe hung on the low asbestos shed of my uncle's house, quarrelling. The shrill noise is also a popular song. People who send girls usually don't invite social drama.

This social opera is not written by Lu Xun, but also has strong local characteristics. It is a group formed by a group of folk entertainers. If you are invited to set up a stage, there will be no problem. There will be a total of ten or eight people, and it will be distributed to each person, but not just right. Some people have calculated that if a banquet sings well, it will not cost more than 100 yuan. sometimes, if you look at the influence of the host, if you meet an enlightened and generous master, one person can earn two to three hundred yuan per stage.

If the third uncle's house didn't invite a social play, the money was saved. The trumpet pipe, a boiler and bowls, chopsticks and plates are the belongings of Zhangnan across the river.

After my third aunt came home from the hospital last year, the person has changed and she has lost her former spirit. She worried about something inside and outside, and told me to find a table and sit down early, otherwise it would be cold if there was no table.

I chose the table near the potato plot in the yard to sit down, and when my mother came, she had already brought the selected lettuce, spinach and spring onions back to the house in two cloth bags.

There were not enough eight people, so the eldest brother of our family asked down one table at a time. We didn't have enough table. My aunt and I, as well as uncle puma, who took to the street, six of us. Okay? The eldest brother said, have you seen who it is? Qinger, you can write more manuscripts. Why don't you announce the price of our strawberries on the Internet?

Brother, I don't have that ability, besides, the network is not a god, no one can save anyone, why spend that traffic?

Then you eat less later, who told you not to help me.

Big brother is very humorous.

The scene with the ceremony is very spectacular. It can be said that the wool comes from the sheep. You spend ten thousand yuan today, and when you do the wedding, you will earn back your pocket. When I entered the account, Uncle Ren, who used to be the teaching director of Central Primary School, asked me, whose name should I write?

Do you have to ask? The man is the head of the woman, of course, write the name of the man in charge. Although times have changed, the society in which men are superior to women is gone, but in the countryside, women's names are still not mentioned, and they all like to shout: Zhang family, old horse wife, four crab brothers and sisters. Therefore, I still follow the local customs to walk.

I watched when several immediate family members of my third uncle's family entered the account. The elder sister of the third aunt spends a lot of money, with a gift of two thousand and a cousin of one thousand! In this way, the third aunt's eldest brother and second brother lost some weight and gave his cousin five hundred as a gift.

It's my turn to play some uncles and aunts. The eldest uncle shot first, offered five hundred as a gift, and gave his cousin two hundred. The eldest son is like a father, and the eldest uncle has become a role model for his three uncles and an aunt.

The neighbor is basically 100 yuan, and the one with a better relationship is 200. The third uncle has a full income of more than 20,000 yuan today. Pigs are raised in their own pen, and after deducting the cost, there are still nine thousand left.

24 tables were prepared for the upper and lower seats, and the cold dishes were arranged neatly, just waiting for our eldest brother to shout to eat.

With such a table of people, civilized diners and real relatives, they were modest and moderate to each other, my mother had bad teeth, and she ate half a piece of meat and vegetables. I advised my mother to eat slowly.

I didn't drink beer because of the hot weather. The twenty tables were silent at the moment, with the unique sound of chewing teeth and the crisscross of cups and plates. The two tables were persuading spirits and chatting at home. When the dish was over, the empty-bellied tiger was almost done eating Haisai, and even burping in the sky, several dogs farted, and three or two dogs ran around under the table to pick up bones, looked up at this not its owner, and groaned to nibble in the shade.

Uncle Biao was also stylish at first, and he also knew how to be courteous when serving the same dish. In the middle of eating, he scanned his eyeballs. At the nearby table, some people took out plastic bags and poured oil pills and cooked vegetables. They also took action and squeezed a blue plastic bag out of their pockets. If you didn't eat it, I would give it to my eldest nephew. Before we could speak, he pulled up his ass and pulled the bag, and a plate of Beef Seasoned with Soy Sauce went into the net. Then, when I reached out my chopsticks to hold a piece of chicken thigh meat, he quickly pulled the plate and buckled it into his net.

The people at the table looked at each other. Look at those tables, the scenery is the same, men pull bags and children pour, not even soup.

We were dumbfounded, and the twenty table people withdrew, and the cups and dishes were wasted by piles of rice and dishes on the ground. The woman left home with big bags and small bags with greasy mouths, and the man blushed with wine hiccups and greeted his third uncle and shook his hand. the third worked hard! Thumbs up, it's a good day! Hiccup, third, your banquet is also first-class in the village.

The third uncle sent a group of people away with a weary smile. After working for several days, he could not even have a full meal, and the chef tidied up his belongings and drove the tricycle to the next pot.

The third uncle and aunt just sat down on the sofa like a mass of mud.

It is a local custom to send a girl to marry a wife. How can a child bear to marry only once in his life? But it's no wonder you don't bend your waist by stretching your neck.

The assembly line is poor, people point and poke in the back, as long as a little bit of grade will pay for it. People who run banquets are dominated by psychological factors that make money. As a matter of fact, ordinary people can get a drop of water on top of a blade of grass in a lively scene, but these official grandchildren, such as the full moon, nine-year-old grandson, and old man and old lady, all wait on their 60th birthday, and those who are not related to each other come happily. One hundred and two hundred people are rich in their wallets and earn a hundred and eighty thousand yuan from a banquet. With the passage of time, these families have big and small feelings, and they will never go to the scene, so that the officials can make a net profit!

Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer. There is nothing wrong with simply entertaining old relatives and old neighbors. The bad habit of doing big things at the village table has exceeded the bottom line of the meaning of personality. Wantonly cutting is the scar on the monk's head. When it can be cured is also a problem, a social problem.

The dry throat of the sky is blue smoke, the sun is jumping on the earth naked, and the countryside is in urgent need of a timely rain.
