Kapitel 34: Chapter 33 Sending Wedding Invitations
Early the next morning, the two of them had dinner, settled their two children, and then packed up their things and headed to the village.
The first home was of course Zhao Lizheng's. When the two arrived, Zhao Le was playing top with Shitou in the yard.
Shitou used a small whip to spin the wooden top while Zhao Le kept counting. The two of them were competing to see who could spin the top longer.
Seeing Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu coming, Zhao Le stood up and said, "Come as you please. Why are you bringing something else?"
"You have to accept this gift," Jiang Zhu said, handing over the things in his hand, "An Nian and I are going to get married in a few days. Here are the wedding candies and the wedding invitation."
"Your family must go." Ye Anian also said.
"That's a must." Zhao Le took the candy wrapped in red paper, folded it neatly, and wrote the word "double happiness" neatly on the paper package.
He opened the wedding invitation and looked at it. The date was July 25th, which would be in five days.
"When the time comes, will there be a wedding ceremony? Brother Nian has to go back to the Ye family, right?"
Ye Annian frowned, but he didn't even consider this.
"No need." Jiang Zhu refused, "I am living outside and have no parents or relatives. When the time comes, I will ask Li Zheng to marry me. If Ye Chenghe is willing to come, we should give him face. If he doesn't come, we will just pray to heaven and earth. "
His tone was sincere, and Ye Anyian felt inexplicably relieved.
However, Zhao Le still felt that there was an oversight: "You are married, but Brother Nian has left the Ye family. What will happen to Brother Fu?"
Although it was Ye Chenghe who didn't want Ye Anfu in the first place and brought him out to Ye Annian, if one day Ye Chenghe commits suicide and threatens Brother Fu...
"Then after the ceremony is completed, ask Li Zheng to be a witness and let Ye Chenghe sign the book of divorce." Ye Annian said.
Strike while the iron is hot and cut the knot with a sharp knife. While Ye Chenghe still feels that Fu Zai is a burden, he must quickly settle this matter to avoid long nights and nightmares.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhu also nodded.
"That's fine." Seeing that they both knew what was going on, Zhao Le didn't ask any more questions.
There were still many people to send to, so the two of them didn't delay any more. They left Zhao Lizheng's house and went to Aunt Li's house next door.
The two of them were very fast. After chatting for a while or two at each house, they immediately moved on to the next house. They had delivered almost half of the goods in one morning.
There are a total of fifty households in this village. They discussed and wrote twenty-three wedding invitations last night. They are all from families who usually move around a lot and have good relationships. Others are not specially invited. If someone comes to follow the gift, Just receive them as usual.
Seeing that it was noon, the two of them went home to eat.
Passing by the door of Carpenter Ge's house, he saw Carpenter Ge's husband Feng Ci standing at the door talking to his two aunts.
It happened that the wedding invitations from the Ge family had not yet been sent, so the two of them came forward with their things to say hello to Feng Ci.
"You two are getting married." Feng Ci knew what they were doing as soon as he saw what Jiang Zhu was carrying.
"Yes," Jiang Zhu said with a smile, "You and Carpenter Ge will have a drink at that time."
"Okay, I've prepared all the gifts." He said and went to pick up the candy and wedding invitations handed to him by Jiang Zhu.
Looking at the regular and neat characters written on it, I couldn't help but praise: "This Jiang Langzhong's handwriting is just beautiful, unlike us rough people who can't even read a few big characters and can't do all these things even if they want to."
"Write whatever you want, that's what you like, Mr. Ge Fu." Jiang Zhu was modest.
Feng Ci smiled: "Okay, it's almost noon now. You two haven't eaten yet. Go home quickly. Both children are probably starving."
Jiang Zhu nodded, took Ye Annian to say goodbye and left.
The two walked back side by side, but Ye Anyian remained silent. Jiang Zhu noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Anyian shook his head: "I don't know if I'm overthinking it."
"Let's talk about it," Jiang Zhu said, "Two people have more ideas than one."
"They are the two aunts just now. One of them looks familiar to me, a bit like... the grandma who married me before."
Ye Annian frowned. When he and Jiang Zhu came over here, they noticed an aunt wearing a headscarf who kept moving back. She had a headscarf covering her face, so she couldn't see clearly.
"Maybe she's here to marry someone's child in the village." Jiang Zhu asked, "Is there something wrong with her?"
"It's okay." Ye Anian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not that we are getting married soon. I'm afraid she will become a monster."
Jiang Zhu held the unfinished wedding candies in one hand and held Ye Anyian in the other hand: "Don't worry, she can't do it."
"Yes." Ye Annian looked at the swaying branches of the big locust tree in the distance, and his expression calmed down again.
The two of them walked hand in hand for a while. Jiang Zhu suddenly looked at Ye Anyian's expression: "Let me see?"
"You shouldn't be nervous about the wedding, right?"
Ye Anian was startled by him and his face turned red. He stopped talking and said, "No."
"It's fine if you don't," Jiang Zhu stopped teasing him, "Then let's go home and have dinner."
…
The two of them held hands and left. On the other hand, Mrs. Sun said goodbye to Feng Ci smoothly, patted her butt and walked towards Beigou Village.
She did come to Yueya Village today to be a matchmaker, but she didn't expect to meet Brother Nian and get married.
That day, she and the bearer abandoned the person in the middle of the road. She felt really guilty, especially since she took Brother Nian's baggage and ran away.
But she didn't run far that day when she was stopped by Wang Hu. She panicked and made up a lie.
He said it was Ye Chenghe's fault. He gave Nian brother medicine and Nian suddenly became ill. Ye Chenghe just wanted to catch the wolf with nothing.
This statement was actually full of loopholes, but Wang Hu had a hot temper and a simple mind. He believed it as soon as he heard it. He immediately called his elder brother and took several men from Beigou Village to settle the score with Ye Chenghe.
After this incident, there has been no movement in the Wang family, and her heart gradually dropped into her stomach, but she didn't want to go to Yueya Village today and run into Brother Nian getting married.
"Everyone was coughing like that that day, but they weren't dead yet?" Mrs. Sun was very puzzled.
But when the confusion was over, I felt happy again.
The words she arranged for Ye Chenghe not only deceived the Wang family, but Wang Hu also brought people to Ye Chenghe to settle accounts that day and gave her a lot of money, asking her to report to Ye Chenghe as soon as there was any news about the Ye family or Ye Anyian. Come deliver the message.
Then wouldn't there be money made again this time?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun beamed with joy and went straight to the Wang family to deliver the letter.
…
When the two returned home, Ding Qiu and Fu Zai were choosing vegetables in the yard. Copper Coin was wagging its tail and running around the yard chasing the cloth balls sewn by Ye Annian.
"Brother! Doctor Jiang!"
Fuzai had some difficulty with his legs and feet, so he sat on a small stool and called someone: "Brother Qiu and I have chosen coriander. Can we eat fried coriander?"
"Cilantro is a seasoning and cannot be fried and eaten alone, Fu Zai." Ye Annian was helpless.
"Sir, Brother Ye, Grandma Li brought us half a winter melon." Ding Qiu said from the side.
Jiang Zhu walked over and saw half a winter melon that Ding Qiu was washing. It was quite big, enough for them to eat.
Thinking of the pork that he went to town to buy and marinated in well water yesterday, he said, "Let's have winter melon ball soup at noon."
"Okay!" Fuzai was the first to respond, very positive.
Ye Annian touched his head and said, "Okay."
As soon as he turned around, he saw the large pot of apricots he had placed under the shade of the tree, and he suddenly felt worried.
"How can we finish eating so many apricots? I'm afraid we have to make them into cans quickly to be able to store them."
Jiang Zhu heard him talking to himself and came over: "What canned food? If you can't finish the apricots, why don't I make you some sugar water?"
"Sugar water?" Ye Anyian asked, not realizing for a moment what the relationship between sugar water and apricots was.
"Wash these apricots, cut them into pieces, and boil them with rock sugar. After they cool down, they will become sugar water. If you can't finish them, you can put them in a jar and store them so they won't go bad."
After listening to Jiang Zhu's words, Ye Annian understood that this should be the modern canned fruit.
"That's fine." He nodded happily. Anyway, he originally planned to make canned sugar water.
Now that it was agreed, Jiang Zhu started to prepare lunch, with Ye Anyian helping him from the side.
The two of them were much faster. In less than half an hour, they had two dishes and one soup ready. The staple food was mixed rice.
The dishes are fried pork with chili and fried eggs with garlic sprouts, and the soup is winter melon and meatball soup.
The meat stuffing is minced very finely, and the meatballs are all round and firm. The meat is stewed together with the winter melon, and then sprinkled with a handful of coriander, which gives it a special flavor.
Ye Anyian served rice to the two children, then poured the meatball soup into it, and put four or five meatballs in each bowl. Not to mention how delicious it was.
Fu Zai took a small spoon and put the rice into his mouth. As he ate, he said inarticulately: "Guo Guo, rice, the rice is so delicious! It's all leaking, leaking fragrance!"
It made Ding Qiu cover his mouth and laugh.
Ye Annian stretched out his hand to wipe away the rice particles on his mouth: "Eat slowly, you will become a little cat."
Jiang Zhu held his chin and looked at the three of them: "I love eating meatballs so much, I will make lion heads for you another day."
"Brother, can you eat a lion's head?" Fu Zai held the spoon in his hand and stared at Ye Anyian with his bright black eyes.
Ye Annian smiled: "The lion's head is not a lion's head, it is a big meatball with a lot of meat."
"Wow!" Fu Zai suddenly became interested, "That must be delicious."
"Of course what I cook is delicious." Jiang Zhu said, "Eat quickly, it will get cold later."
The four of them stopped talking and concentrated on cooking.
In the afternoon, Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu carried the remaining wedding candies and wedding invitations and went out.
Since there were not many people left, they were almost given away soon.
The two of them were in no hurry to go back, so Jiang Zhu took Ye Anian to Chen's house again.
Chen Maoyan of the Chen family is the only scholar in Crescent Village. Now he teaches in a book school in the town. He has one day off every seven days and only stays at home for two days during breaks.
The door of the Chen family was not closed tightly, leaving a small crack. Jiang Zhu did not push the door rashly and went in. He knocked on the door with his hand and asked loudly: "Is anyone home?"
No one in the courtyard answered, but a little melon with two little claws sticking out of its head poked out from the crack in the door.
"Well..."
The snow-white dumpling clinging to the door blinked his big dark eyes and looked up at Jiang Zhu and Ye Annian.
The little girl, who was no more than three or four years old, stared blankly for a while, then said vaguely to Ye Anyian: "Pretty... pretty hot pot pot!"
Ye Anyian:...
Jiang Zhu laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and gently scratched the little girl's nose and said, "You are so young, you have such good taste."
The little girl laughed heartily, turned around and shouted into the yard: "Guo Guo! Guo Guo! Here come the Piao Piao Guo Guo! Two!"
