Chapter 230 Jia Zhang eats and drinks

Xu Qing stood at the door of his house, smoking cigarettes with Ma Jiefang and chatting with Er Mazi.

Er Mazi was considered to be a person who had already decided on the major events in his life. He reached out and held his eldest son who was standing beside him and could run, and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, can you also get married? Brother, I have been waiting to drink your wedding wine for a long time!"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Wait, when I get married, I will definitely not be able to leave you behind!"

Xu Qing saw Xu Damao getting married in the courtyard today, and he really wanted to seize the time with Ma Jinghong to get things done.

However, the second brother and the third brother have not yet graduated from high school. As the eldest brother, if he gets married, let alone other things, he will live in the two houses at home.

This is troublesome.

It would be okay to rent another house in the compound.

The problem is that renting a house costs money. Although the rent is not high, it is relatively cheaper than renting outside.

But there are a lot of miscellaneous expenses involved in getting married. It costs money for everything, and it adds up to a big sum.

Of course, Xu Qing has saved some money in the past few years, and his grandparents in the countryside, who live frugally every year, will also give him a dozen or twenty yuan.

With this kind of money, it is barely enough to get married.

It's just that getting married is easy, but things after marriage are not.

From now on, he and Ma Jinghong will live their own lives together, and they will no longer be able to take care of their second brother, third brother and sister.

Although the three of them have grown up, they are still studying and have no ability to make money. The future expenses will eventually fall on him, the eldest brother.

You can't get married on your own, so just let your brothers and sisters just leave it alone.

Even Sha Zhu knows that if he wants to get married, he must wait until his sister Yu Yu comes out of school.

Xu Qing naturally understands this better.

Therefore, Xu Qing sighed inwardly, secretly feeling that he could only wait for another year or two, after his second brother and third brother graduated from high school, before talking about getting married.

By then, whether it is the second brother or the third brother, they can earn money to support themselves, and Xu Qing will no longer have to worry about them.

As for my sister, she is the only one left, so everything will be fine.

Even if you move out of the compound and rent a house outside, it doesn't matter.

But right now, we really can’t rush into getting married.

Ma Jiefang, who was on the side, suddenly interjected: "Brother Qingzi, you and my fifth sister really need to hold on tight."

Xu Qing was speechless for this brother-in-law who had almost no suspense. He looked up and saw the first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, shouting loudly to start the banquet. He took the opportunity to change the topic and said:

"Let's go, let's take a seat quickly."

As Yi Zhonghai's words came to light, the noisy crowd all sat at the banquet table placed in the courtyard.

Ma Jiefang and Er Mazi's family of four, as well as Xu Qing's brother and sister, together with Qin Huairu, Banggan and Xiaodang, sat at a table for twelve people.

But Er Mazi's little daughter didn't occupy a seat. Speaking of which, there were actually eleven people sitting there.

But Yan Jiedifei from the first uncle's family squeezed in, and in the end there were still twelve people.

The three brothers Yan Jiecheng and the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were sitting at the next table.

Xu Damao's father arranged for the first aunt, second aunt, third aunt and Jia Zhang to help Shazhu in cooking.

The wedding banquet was held in the courtyard, which was enough for four people.

As for the old lady with handicapped legs and feet, she had been seated early in the morning, but she couldn't help with anything. Besides, she was a senior in the compound and was considered an ancestor, so no one dared to ask her to do anything.

Xu Damao's father was still afraid of getting into trouble if something happened.

The weather was sunny and the sun was blazing. Everyone in the courtyard was chatting and laughing while eating the wedding banquet. No one cared about the heat.

When Xu Qing saw the eldest mother bringing the food, he quickly stood up, took it, and put it on the table.

Ma Jiefang had already opened the cigarettes and wine on the table and was pouring them one by one.

There were only three people at the table, Xu Qing, Er Mazi and himself drinking.

So Ma Jiefang tried to persuade Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming to drink some too.

Xu Aiguo waved his hand directly and said: "Brother Jiefang, I have to go to school in the afternoon and I don't dare to drink."

Xu Fengming secretly glanced at Ma Jiefang and gestured to pour him a drink.

The little girl turned her head and shook her black braids, glanced at her third brother, and reached out to grab the elder brother Xu Qing's arm. Xu Fengming was frightened and quickly covered the wine cup in front of him with his hand.

When Ma Jiefang saw this, he had to give up, sit on the stool again, pick up the wine cup, and start drinking with Xu Qing and Er Mazi.

The two women, Qin Huairu and Chen Xiaojuan, did not drink.

Chen Xiaojuan wants to breastfeed her little daughter and must not drink alcohol.

Qin Huairu, on the other hand, was embarrassed. There were so many people in the courtyard, and there were only two adult women at the table, she and Chen Xiaojuan. She was the only woman drinking along with her, so she didn't drink at all.

Xu Fengming, his second brother, his sister, Qin Huairu, Banggan, and Xiaodang were drinking soda with a look of reluctance, eager to try the taste of today's wedding wine.

At this moment, Sha Zhu, the master chef of the ladle, finally finished his work. He sat on the edge of the Kang in Xu Qing's room, wiping the sweat on his body with a towel while smoking a cigarette from the corner of his mouth.<

/p>

He was a cook, and he had been tired and exhausted all morning. He was really sleepy. Fortunately, he was in his own courtyard, so he lay down on the Kang of Xu Qing's house and fell asleep.

When Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e toasted to everyone, they couldn't find Si Zhu and didn't know where he had gone.

Yan Jiecheng also helped search around, but couldn't find him.

In the end, Xu Fengming told Xu Damao:

"Brother Damao, I seem to have seen Brother Yuzhu go to my house before."

After Xu Damao heard this, he ran into Xu Qing's house and saw Sha Zhu snoring in his sleep. He raised his hand and shook his head to wake up. He turned and walked outside the house and called Lou Xiao'e over so that they could toast Sha Zhu with a glass of wine.

After all, Silly Zhu worked hard today. No matter what happened in the past, Xu Damao must respect this wine today.

Although Xu Damao wanted to avenge him a long time ago, Silly Zhu took advantage of him and hit him on the soles of his feet with a feather duster while he was sleeping.

But Xu Damao is a smart man, and he doesn’t speak and act regardless of the occasion. Today is his happy day, so he gave up.

Silly Zhu sat on the edge of the kang with a tired look on his face. He took the wine toasted by Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. After drinking three glasses in a row, he didn't say anything disappointing.

Even though the words came to my lips, they were still swallowed into my stomach along with the wine.

And just when Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were toasting to Sha Zhu in Xu Qing's house.

Sitting in the courtyard having a wedding banquet, Mrs. Jia Zhang had half eaten her meal. Taking advantage of the crowd, she secretly made a bowl of braised pork. After covering it with her clothes, she quietly took it back to her room in the middle courtyard.

Because Jia Dongxu was paralyzed and couldn't come out, Jia Zhang placed braised pork, steamed buns, and chopsticks directly in front of him.

Jia Dongxu looked at the braised pork and asked in a low voice: "Mom, tell me first, did Xu Damao ask someone to bring this bowl of braised pork back, or did you secretly bring it yourself?"

Jia Zhang didn't expect that her son would ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Xu Damao is getting married today, what do you think?"

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left the room, continuing to sit in her previous seat and eating, pretending that she had done nothing.

Three or four minutes later, Mrs. Jia Zhang repeated her old trick and made two bowls of meat and vegetables and brought them back to her house.
