Chapter 683
August 18th is the day for everything.
On this day, there was a constant flow of traffic and horses at the gate of the second room of the Qin family, and there was an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate the house. There were people sitting inside and outside the house. Near noon, all the guests arrived.
However, Zhao Cao'er found that the number of people was wrong, and more than half of the people she wanted to invite did not show up.
She thought that these people were not giving face and were reluctant to pay for the gift. She complained angrily to Lin Qiuniang: "That Zhu Yidao on the street and the pretty widow in the grocery store are really not good things. I will never buy pork or needlework from them again."
.”
This time when Dabao got married, she didn't interfere with the betrothal gift, but she paid for the banquet. She just wanted to make a fortune from the guests at the banquet, but now more than half of the people she wanted to invite didn't come, so she became angry.
Lin Qiuniang was busy washing and chopping vegetables, and said casually: "If you don't want to come, just don't come. There are a lot of guests here today."
Zhao Cao'er still felt uncomfortable and said in a nonchalant manner: "Sambo won the top prize and has a bright future. I invited them to give them face. No wonder I have been killing pigs and doing small business for most of my life.
, I set up a ladder for them and they don’t even know how to climb up, they deserve to be hopeless in this life!”
Lin Qiuniang felt that these words were offensive and reminded: "Please keep your voice down, don't spread it to Zhu Yidao and Qiao Widow."
Zhao Cao'er said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Isn't what I said the truth? Huh, if you miss this village, there won't be that store. They will regret it in the future."
Lin Qiuniang thought to herself: I have a lot of hands and feet, and I am living a good life. I am afraid I have never thought about having a relationship with your family. Why bother to come and give gifts, and listen to you talk about showing off, making myself uncomfortable?
However, she knew Zhao Cao'er's temperament, so she didn't say these words directly, and just made a few casual remarks.
At this time, the twins came running up and down. They quietly tugged on Lin Qiuniang's clothes and said with joy, "Grandma, grandma, I have a lot of candies!"
As he said that, he opened his little pocket, which contained more than a dozen pieces of candy, as did Nao Nao's pocket.
Just now, a group of children came to the door to ask for sweets. Dabao took out the sweet-scented osmanthus candies and each grabbed a handful. When the brothers saw it, they felt it was very novel, and they also joined the group of children to ask for candies from their uncle.
Dabao was naturally not stingy, so he grabbed a handful each, which made the two brothers happy, like little mice falling into a rice vat.
When Lin Qiuniang saw it, she knew where the candy came from, and said with a smile: "Hide it quickly, don't let your mother see it."
Momo said happily: "My mother doesn't know, my brother and I can't finish all these candies at once, so grandma can hide them for us."
Although the brothers love to eat sweets and can eat up so much sugar in one day, eating too much sugar is not good for their teeth, so they will resist the urge to eat them all and only eat one piece a day at most.
Even so, they did not dare to let Qin Xiaoxiao see it, otherwise she would confiscate all the candies, and they could only taste one piece every three days.
"Okay, you put it in the room, and grandma will help you hide it later." Lin Qiuniang couldn't bear to refuse her two grandchildren. She couldn't free her hands at the moment, so she asked them to take it home first.
"Yeah, thank you, grandma~" She thanked her silently and sweetly, and generously took out a piece of osmanthus candy, peeled off the thin layer of oil paper on it, stood on tiptoes and handed it to Lin Qiuniang: "Here it is for you."
Lin Qiuniang was so moved that she quickly said, "Eat it yourself, grandma doesn't like sweet things."
Momo said in a mature tone: "Grandma, don't be polite to me. There are so many candies, so don't be reluctant to part with them."
When Lin Qiuniang heard this, she couldn't bear to disappoint her grandson. She leaned down and took the sweet-scented osmanthus candy into her mouth: "Well, it's so sweet!"
"Hee hee, I picked the sweetest piece of candy!" Momo said proudly, not forgetting to give her a thumbs up: "Grandma is so good, better than my mother. My mother only knows how to eat delicious things.
Fight with me and my brother!"
"Pfft!" Lin Qiuniang was happy, and she had no doubt in her grandson's words that this was indeed something her daughter would do.
Looking at the three grandparents and grandchildren making love, Zhao Cao'er couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and deliberately said: "Momo, Second Grandma treats you well, why don't you give Second Grandma a piece of this osmanthus candy?"
Mo Mo was stunned. Before he could react, Er Bao took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Cao'er without saying a word: "For Grandma Er to eat."
He said quietly: "Brother, this is my candy."
Nao Nao blinked and said righteously: "Brother, you can't be so stingy. Grandma is so good to us. Eating a piece of candy is nothing."
My mother said something, she was reluctant to give up her children, so she gave Second Grandma a piece of candy today, and he and his brother will get countless pieces of candy in the future. Anyway, this candy was originally given by the uncle, so giving one to Second Grandma would not be a loss for them.
.
It was rare for him to say such a long thing in one breath, and he was successfully blinded by him. He no longer felt sorry for the candy he gave out, and said openly: "Second grandma, do you want me to help you peel it?"
Zhao Cao'er just wanted to tease them, but she felt a little embarrassed when she got the candy, and quickly stuffed it back into Mo Mo's pocket: "No, no, you will be very happy to have this filial grandma."
Silently he took out the piece of candy, skillfully peeled off the oil paper and stood on tiptoes and handed it to her: "You want it if you want it, Grandma, you're welcome, the osmanthus candy is delicious!"
The little guy was so sincere that Zhao Cao'er couldn't refuse anymore. He smiled and bit the candy: "They are two good and filial children!"
I was praised silently, and felt happy, and in the end, the little bit of heartache was gone.
The backyard is full of people helping with the cooking. The water for washing vegetables will inevitably flow everywhere, and it will look dirty if you step on it. It is not a place where children should stay.
The twins chatted with the two adults for a while, then left with the candies in their pockets. They planned to put the candies in their grandparents' room first, and then go outside to play with the children.
The two brothers ran excitedly into the yard, but they didn't want to bump into Qin Xiaoxiao at the corner who was about to go out to the next door. His little body fell back uncontrollably, and he subconsciously exclaimed: "Oh!"
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed one of them with one hand to avoid the fate of their little butts falling to the ground. As a result, by accident, she tore open the small bag and the osmanthus candies were instantly scattered on the floor.
Seeing the two little bastards looking panicked, she raised her eyebrows and asked with a straight face: "Why is there so much candy? Are you planning to hide it secretly and eat it?"
The two brothers looked at each other guiltily and said in unison: "No, this is the candy given by my uncle. We took it back and gave it to my mother."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe a word she said, and said, "It turns out that my mother wrongly blamed you. Then you pick up the candies and put them in the room. I will come back later to put them away and keep them for later."
Silently unable to control her emotions, she bargained with a mournful face: "Mom, these candies were given to us by our eldest uncle. They are the wedding candies of our third uncle and third aunt. My brother and I have to eat them. You let us keep them for ourselves."
Is half good?"
Qin Xiaoxiao suppressed her laughter and shook her head seriously: "No, don't think I don't know that grandpa and grandma have secretly given you sweets for more than a month. If you continue to eat like this, all your teeth will rot."
The twins never expected that their mother would discover this secret. For a moment, their fear overwhelmed their desire for candy and they did not dare to say that they would keep half of the candy.
This little appearance was really pitiful. Qin Xiaoxiao stopped teasing them and said cheerfully: "Today is your third uncle's wedding. You are allowed to eat two pieces of candy each, but remember to rinse your mouth after eating, otherwise your teeth will be damaged."
There are really going to be worms.”
He originally thought he wouldn't get a piece of candy, but he actually got two pieces. This was a surprise for Mo Mo. He threw himself into his mother's arms and rubbed his head vigorously: "Thank you, mother, you are so sweet."
alright!"
Nao Nao was much more awake than his brother and didn't show any particular excitement, because these candies were originally his, and if his mother hadn't stepped in to ask for them, he would have been able to eat at least one piece every day for the next half month.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care what the little ones thought, and gave them two pieces of candy each, then casually put the remaining candies in the desk drawer, not worried that they would steal them.
I still have some trust in the children I raised by myself.
As soon as she left, the twins looked at the desk across the threshold, and then at the two pitiful pieces of candy in their hands. For the first time, they experienced the huge gap between sudden wealth and extreme poverty.
"Brother, just now you said that you can't trap the wolf if you don't want to let go of the child. Now that most of the 'children' are gone, the 'wolf' can't be trapped either." Silently and slowly, he peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly he felt that the osmanthus candy had no
So sweet.
Naonao said with a cold face: "The wolf is too cruel. No matter how much sugar you have, it will still be 'sugar like a wolf's mouth'!"
He scratched his head silently, suspecting that his brother was saying that his mother was a ferocious wolf, but there was no evidence.
In the afternoon, Sanbao and his party who went to pick up the bride successfully picked up the bride and returned to Qingshan Village before sunset.
Someone was waiting on the village road and saw a patch of red coming this way from a distance, so he shouted: "I'm back, I'm back, the bride is here, let's set off the firecrackers!"
Immediately afterwards, a loud burst of firecrackers resounded throughout the mountain village. As the green smoke curled up, against the backdrop of the setting sun, the entire Qin family was enveloped in a layer of golden-red light.
The guests all knew the bride's identity and couldn't wait to come outside the courtyard. Even though they couldn't see the bride's face through the red hijab, they still enjoyed it.
With a high-pitched singing and shouting, the bright red wedding sedan landed smoothly on the ground.
At the reminder of the matchmaker, Sanbao handed one end of the red silk to Xu Yan. His fingertips accidentally touched her cold fingertips, and he subconsciously wrapped her hand in his palm: "Don't be afraid, I'll hold it."
you go."
