Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 35 Celebrating

Maintaining a good mood along the way, we soon arrived at Zhuxi Village without knowing it. After entering the village, Tu Xinmei went back to Zhao's house first.

The newborn baby Shuang Zhuang Zhuang is only a few months old and has not been weaned yet, and is weak and prone to illness due to premature birth. She went to help Tu Lin move this time, and she left for more than two hours. Although she only fed once before leaving, but now that she is back, she has to go back and have a look before she can feel at ease.

Tu Lin and the others drove directly to Ruan's house, and met two young people in the village who were about the same age as Ruan Tang, one was Qiu Cheng and the other was Li Li. The two of them looked very familiar with Ruan Tang. It was only after Ruan Tang introduced them to Tu Lin that they had been friends with Ruan Tang for the past two days, and they had a very good relationship.

When Qiu Cheng and Li Li heard that Ruan Tang had moved back to Zhuxi Village, they were very happy, and followed Tu Lin and the others to Ruan's house to help move things.

Tu Lin wanted to make friends with the villagers, and he was Ruan Tang's friend, so he naturally had nothing to be unhappy about. The gate of the Ruan family was very wide and there was no threshold, so the cart was pulled in directly, and then several people started unloading things from the cart.

With the help of two more people, the unloading was soon finished. Zhao Changping went to return the two borrowed cars, while Tu Lin and Ruan Tang began to arrange the things. Food was put into the wing room, pots and pans were put into the kitchen, Clothes and bedding were put into the bedrooms, and the animals were driven to the pens in the backyard. Qiu Cheng and Li Li didn't leave either, and continued to help Ruan Tang and the others.

Tu Lin had been to Ruan's house before, and knew that Ruan's house was not much different from ordinary small farmyards. There were three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. However, because it was close to the back mountain, in order to prevent wild animals After ruining things, a stone wall nearly two meters high was built to enclose the front yard and the entire backyard.

As for Tu Lin in the backyard, this is the first time I have seen it, and it is indeed as Ruan Tang said, the area is not small. Except for the space occupied by the latrines and livestock pens, the remaining open space is enough for Tu Lin to dig two charcoal kilns. Can leave a lot of places to grow some vegetables or something.

The Ruan family's Ruan hall has been cleaned once before, so the house and the front yard don't need to be cleaned anymore, but the back yard needs to be tidied up. The pens need to be repaired and strengthened, the vegetable field has not been plowed for a long time, and it is full of weeds, and the charcoal kiln that Tulin needs to dig, because the charcoal will be sent again in three days, so there is no delay.

Fortunately, with the help of Qiu Cheng and Li Li, as well as Tu Lin and Zhao Changping who returned the car, the four young and strong men who were used to farm work were also proficient in doing it.

A few men did these rough jobs in the backyard, and Tu Xinmei, who came back after watching the children, helped Ruan Tang clean up the front yard and house. When the cleaning was almost done, Tu Xinmei went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Today is also the joy of Tu Lin and the others' housewarming, so Tu Xinmei wanted to cook a table of good dishes, and the family had a good meal to celebrate together, while Ruan Tang was helping Tu Xinmei from the sidelines, and an hour passed quickly after being

busy , before Tu Xinmei's dinner was cooked in the kitchen, Tu Lin and the others had already cleaned up the backyard.

The vegetable fields have been plowed, and seasonal vegetables have been planted. Two charcoal kilns have also been built. We only need to wait for the firewood to be made before we can start burning. It's just that it's getting late at this time, and everyone is inevitably tired after working for a long time, so they rest for the time being, everything will be discussed tomorrow.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Qiu Cheng and Li Li planned to go back, but they helped a lot. Although Tu Lin and Ruan Tang thanked them, they couldn't just let people leave like this, so they kept them busy. eat. But the two said that there are still people waiting at home, and they will live in the same village in the future, and sometimes get together, so Tu Lin and Ruan Tang don't have to be so polite.

Seeing that the two insisted on leaving, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang couldn't force them to stay. In the end, Tu Xinmei brought out two bowls of cooked braised pork from the kitchen and stuffed them with them, and asked them to take them home to eat.

Not long after Qiu Cheng and Li Li left, dinner was ready, and Tu Lin lifted the table, put chairs and placed the dishes and chopsticks. After a while, the food was served, and because they were all from the same family, there were not so many taboos, so everyone sat around the table.

Even for celebration, wine is indispensable. There are two altars of high-quality Jinhua wine, the color is as clear as amber, and the taste is sweet and mellow. Since the alcohol content is not high, it is suitable for both men and women.

It's just that this wine was not bought by Tu Lin, but a thank-you gift from Zhou Yan when he came to thank him a few days ago, and there were several jars. In addition to drinks, those thank you gifts also included the Four Treasures of the Study, supplements and medicinal materials, silk and satin, and some special local products. As for gold and silver, there was nothing there, which was in line with the style of the Zhou family's scholarly and aristocratic family.

Tu Xinmei was still breastfeeding the child and could not drink, so she asked Zhao Changping to pour herself a bowl of tea, and then she picked up the tea bowl and said sincerely to Ruan Tang, "Ah Tang, thanks to you helping me take care of Tu Lin and Xiaoan in the past few years , otherwise I don't know what they will look like today, today I will replace wine with tea, thank you." After finishing speaking, he brought a tea bowl to his lips.

"Sister, this is what I should do, you don't need to do this." Ruan Tang hurriedly tried to stop him, but he couldn't. Tu Xinmei has a very straightforward personality, and even though she drank tea, she also looked a bit feminine Rarely bold, she raised her head slightly, and drank the full bowl of tea in one gulp.

Ruan Tang couldn't stop him, and felt a little ashamed, so he raised the wine bowl in front of him and said to Tu Xinmei, "Sister, I should be the one to thank you. If you and Brother Zhao hadn't been generous enough to help me out of my predicament, Now I don't even know what situation I will fall into, so I should toast you and Brother Zhao." After speaking, Ruan Tang also raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

This drink can't be compared with tea. Although Jinhua alcohol has a low alcohol content, drinking a whole glass at once, even on an empty stomach, will make people feel a little uncomfortable. Sure enough, Ruan Tang frowned as soon as he finished drinking, but he didn't put down the wine bowl, but went to fetch the wine bottle and pour it again.

Seeing this, Tu Lin hurriedly snatched it down, and said, "Okay, okay, we are all one family, so thank you for whatever you say."

Zhao Changping also persuaded with a smile on the side: "Yes, Ah Lin is right, they are all a family, Ruan Tang, you really don't need to be so alien, besides, I also watched you grow up, your father also helped you What Amei and I have done is nothing."

Tu Xinmei didn't expect that her thanks would cause Ruan Tang to bring up the past, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't say it anymore. By the way, let's eat vegetables, I've cooked a lot of specialty dishes today, Ruan Tang must eat more and try my cooking skills." Then he gave Ruan Tang some dishes with chopsticks.

Ruan Tang's uncomfortable energy had passed, and Tu Lin took away the wine glass and bottle, and he couldn't drink it even if he wanted to, so he didn't insist anymore, thanked Tu Xinmei with a smile, and took it away. He picked up his chopsticks and ate the food that Tu Xinmei gave him.

Seeing that Ruan Tang ate it, Tu Xinmei didn't eat it herself, so she smiled and said to Ruan Tang, "I heard A Lin said that you like lighter food, so I made this vegetarian dish, how about it?" As I said before, Tu

Lin His grandfather had good cooking skills, and he only had two children, Tu Lin's mother and sister-in-law, so he passed on the cooking skills to his two daughters.

As the daughter of Tu Mu, Tu Xinmei was naturally taught by Tu Mu. Only when Tu Xinmei was eight years old, Tu's mother passed away, and Tu Xinmei was taught the skill of cooking.

Although she didn't learn all of Tu's mother's culinary skills, it has benefited Tu Xinmei a lot. She is much better than ordinary peasant women, and she is often invited by families who want to hold weddings, weddings, and full-moon birthday banquets to cook for her, earning a lot of money. Some money to supplement the family, so the craftsmanship is not bad,

sure enough, Ruan Tang swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, my sister has such a good craftsmanship, I eat it, and the big ones in the county restaurant The master did nothing worse than that."

Ruan Tang liked it, and Tu Xinmei was naturally happy, so she held another chopstick for Ruan Tang, but she was a little ashamed to accept Ruan Tang's compliment, shaking her head and laughing: "It's fine if you like it, but I'm alone Country people, how can you compare with the master masters in the city, don't talk about it, you won't laugh at me if you let others hear it." "

How could that be?" Ruan Tang smiled, but seeing Tu Xinmei's embarrassment, he stopped. What more to say, but Tu Lin who was on the side said: "My sister is too modest. If you want me to say that Ruan Tang is right, if my sister has such a good craftsmanship, if you open a restaurant in the county, the business will be good. If someone really laughs at you, That must be because that person's cooking skills are not as good as yours, and he is jealous of you."

Tu Xinmei cooked dishes, and Tu Lin naturally ate them, although Tu Lin also ate a lot of good things in the original world, but I also have to admit that Tu Xinmei's cooking is indeed good, so the praise is somewhat sincere.

"Is it jealous or not? It's just a few home-cooked dishes. It's not that exaggerated. You are still jealous of me. You guys will talk nicely to coax me." Tu Xinmei was even more embarrassed by the words.

Although she did hear a lot of people other than Tu Lin praise her cooking skills, but she didn't take it too seriously, she always felt that it was just some common dishes in the countryside, and she would make a lot of them, so it was really nothing What, so when I heard what Tu Lin and Ruan Tang said at this time, I just thought they were trying to make her happy, and didn't take it too seriously.

Tu Lin also heard Tu Xinmei's indifference, he smiled, and just about to say something, he heard Zhao Changping on the other side ask him: "By the way, second brother, you have moved to Zhuxi Village now. But what are your plans? After all, this charcoal business will be better in winter, and it may not be easy to sell after winter. I think it will be safer to buy some fields." After Zhao Changping finished speaking, Tu Lin's expression remained the same

. , but after a pause, he smiled and said: "Brother-in-law is right, I do have plans to buy some fields, but I don't have much money right now, so I plan to save up first, and now it's winter, so I don't rush to farm. , talk about it later."

Tu Lin's reason was reasonable, Zhao Changping didn't think too much, nodded and said: "That's fine, even if you buy it now, you can only put it on hold, why don't you wait for another two months, when the weather gets colder, and when the year comes At the time, land prices were the cheapest at that time, so it was the most suitable to buy."

"Brother-in-law is right, I thought so too." Tu Lindao, after speaking, he glanced at Ruan Tang indistinctly, only to see that he was with Tu Xinmei Talking, as if he didn't hear the conversation between him and Zhao Changping, he couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart, in two months, he wondered if he could continue to stay in Ruan's house?

Thinking of this, Tu Lin couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. He picked up the wine bowl and drank the remaining wine in one gulp, and then took the wine bottle to pour it for himself again, but he didn't want to press his hand suddenly on the arm.

Tu Lin raised his head, met Ruan Tang's eyes, and saw Ruan Tang frowned slightly, and said to him, "Drink less, you won't be afraid of getting drunk." Then he took the wine bottle, not allowing Tu Lin to pour it again .

In fact, Tu Lin hadn't drunk much yet, but he felt as if he suddenly became a little drunk, so he let Ruan Tang move, and smiled obediently to Ruan Tang: "Okay, listen to you, I won't drink anymore." , and put the wine bowl aside.

Seeing Tu Lin's 'cute' appearance, Ruan Tang suddenly didn't know what to say, so he lowered his eyes and looked away.

Eating, drinking, talking, laughing, and laughing, the time passed unknowingly, and when everyone was gradually full, the sky had turned from bright to dark, and it was time to leave the banquet. After dinner, because it was getting late, Zhao Changping and Tu Xinmei couldn't stay longer, so Tu Lin and Ruan Tang sent them out together.
