The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 349, happy event at home

In the past few years, great changes have taken place in the entire Sanwan Village. The people who went out to work in the village earned money and returned, and built new houses with the money they earned. Many old houses have been demolished.

The head of the village and the village cadres took the lead in asking some wealthy households in the village to donate money, and every household in the village collected money, and used the money to re-correct the principles in the village.Now the roads in the village lead in all directions, whether people walk or vehicles pass by, they are relatively smooth, and large vehicles can also drive through them.

The roads in the village have been paved and the roads are flat enough for carts to pass by.

A few years ago, people in this village lived very poorly. In fact, no one could find any work in the past.In the past few years, young people have found work, men and women in the family have work, and most people's lives are getting better.Of course, there are also some lazy people in the village who are unwilling to work, so how can life be better.

To say that the families in their village that have changed the most in the past few years are the brothers Qiao Chunyuan and Qiao Chunfu.

The boys of the Qiao family made money doing business outside, and opened a factory in their town when they came back. Some young people in the village went to work in the factory. The salary may not be high when they first enter, and they can stick to it for three or two years. , the salary is less than two thousand a month.You must know that those who go out to work now only have a salary of two or three thousand yuan. If they are unlucky and meet a bad boss, they may even give them free work without even getting paid.

If they can find a good job not far from home, there are still many people who are willing to work in a place close to home, so that they can go home after work every day and take care of the elderly and children at home.

However, the old Qiao family has made money over the years, and their life seems to be not much different from before.On weekdays, Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao also sell things in the town, but now they have bought a shop in the town, and they are temporarily closed for weddings at home in the past few days.Now that Uncle Qiao is too old to go fishing in the river, he collects fish in the village instead, and all the fish collected are sent to the factory in the town for processing.

The Qiao family bought all the nearby land, built several small two-story buildings, demolished the courtyard walls and re-enclosed a large courtyard, and several families still live together.

Tomorrow, Qiao's family will hold a wedding, and Uncle Qiao's youngest son is going to get married. All the relatives and neighbors in the village will come to help with the preparations.If anyone in the village wanted to hold a wedding, they had to kill pigs and prepare vegetables one day in advance. The pig butchers in the village drove the pigs outside Qiao's compound to slaughter them early in the morning.

The sound of pigs wailing resounded through the sky. The adults were outside watching the butcher killing pigs, and the children were all driven back into the house by the adults.

Children who grew up in the countryside are not afraid of watching people butcher pigs. They just want to watch them if adults don't show them.

The white knife went in, the red knife went out, and the big white pig howled a few times before it became silent.

"The pig didn't move, it seemed to be dead." The twins were mixed in the crowd, and Qiao Xiaobao's face turned pale with fright when he saw the big white pig that had made no sound.

The courageous little sister Qiao was scared when she saw her twin brother, and she dragged him behind her back, and said with a look of disgust: "How can we eat pork if we don't die? Look at you, are you afraid? I told you to let me eat pork." Don't come here, you still have to come over with us to see."

"..." Qiao Xiaobao's face was pale, and he didn't have the energy to argue with his twin sister right now.

"Oh, what are you people doing out here? What's so interesting about killing pigs? Go back to the yard." As soon as Aunt Qiao turned her head, she saw a group of grandchildren and nephews of her family running out to watch. He drove the boys and girls back to the yard like an old hen.

Seeing a few girls from their family mixed in, Aunt Qiao's face darkened, the boy was so stubborn, why did the girls go crazy?

The pigs and sheep will be slaughtered early in the morning, and the chef will save the meat for the wedding tomorrow, and the leftovers will be fried tonight for everyone to eat.When someone in the village holds a wedding banquet, they will warm up the banquet one day in advance, invite relatives and friends to come over for a meal, and invite people to come over for a meal tomorrow.

"Take this dish over there to the chef."

"okay."

From morning to afternoon, the chef has already prepared some dishes for tomorrow, and started to fry the dishes for tonight in the hot pot.

It is not an easy task to prepare ten tables and eight tables of dishes at once, and it is not because they have a lot of work in their hands that they dare not take on such a job.There are chefs in the village who specialize in organizing weddings and weddings. The dishes are delicious, and any wedding in the village will invite them to cook.

The chef who is cooking at Qiao's house today is from Sanwan Village. He is quite famous for cooking. People from neighboring villages often come to invite this chef to cook for their weddings.

"Didn't you say that the boss and Minglang are coming back today? Why hasn't anyone come back yet? Do you want to call and ask?" Seeing that the table is almost open for dinner, the eldest son and nephew have not yet returned, Aunt Qiao I asked a little worried.

Uncle Qiao stopped him, "Earlier, the boss called back and said that he was going to go out. He should be on the road now, and he will be there in a while. Don't call, so as not to affect his driving. "

"Oh, that's right, why did I forget, then let's wait. You can see that this is the point, should we let someone set the table first?" Aunt Qiao saw that it was getting late , I have to eat early tonight, let everyone go back to rest early, otherwise I will start working early tomorrow morning.

"Let people set it up first, and then serve the food first for everyone to eat. Just leave one or two tables of food for them to eat when they come back." Uncle Qiao asked someone to set up tables and chairs, ready to eat.

Fortunately, there are many people who come to help with the work today, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to do so much work themselves.Arranging a wedding banquet is the most tiring thing, but they are willing to do it no matter how tired they are when they hold a wedding at home.

The cooking chef was invited, and the chef also brought a few helpers.

Basically, the chefs can take over the work of cooking, and the rest of the work is done by themselves.

"There are stools here, take them out." Brother Qiao Mingliang and Qiao Mingzhong will be getting married tomorrow. Brothers Qiao Mingliang and Qiao Mingzhong came back two days earlier. They are young lads with great strength, and a group of lads can carry all the physical work. up.

Fortunately, they have a lot of tables and chairs, and it is not a problem to set up twenty or thirty tables, but if it is not enough, you have to ask the acquaintances in the village to borrow them.

"Mom, how many tables do you want to set up? Is ten enough?" Qiao Mingliang looked at the tables and counted ten of them. There were still people helping to carry the chairs out and set them down, and they were all set up in a while up.

Aunt Qiao looked at so many tables, and replied: "Okay, okay, it's ok, it won't be long enough to set it up, there are too many places in the way. I'll go and see if the dishes are ready. It's ready to serve and eat. You go Invite everyone to come over for dinner."

"Yes." Seeing that his mother said it was ok, Qiao Mingliang went to tell everyone not to move any more, and then went to inform everyone to come and prepare for dinner.

The sun sets quickly in winter, and there is no sun after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Qiao's family held a wedding, and half of the village came. The adults brought their children, and the old people of the same clan were also invited. The women were helping with work and serving dishes.

The weather in winter is cold, and the dishes will be cold soon after being served, so the dishes are served as soon as the table is full, and everyone grabs the chopsticks to pick up the dishes.Now everyone in the village is living a better life, not as hungry as before, and everyone at the dinner table will not be too ugly.

"Ma'am has eaten."

"We still have a seat here, sit by our side for dinner."

The people who were eating saw Mrs. Qiao passing by, and they all called her to come over for dinner.

Aunt Qiao greeted everyone, and said with a smile: "It's not a good dish, everyone, don't be disgusted, there is food on the table over there, and those who eat can go there to pretend."

"Okay, we have seen it, we will pretend by ourselves."

"That's fine."

"Why didn't you see our group of children? I went to see where they went, and called them to come over for dinner. Eat what you eat." Aunt Qiao looked around, but she didn't see the group of young grandchildren in their family. He turned around and looked into the house.

Before entering the door, I heard the sound of overturning the sky in the house. As soon as I walked in, I saw a group of children running in the house. The big one and the young ones were about to knock the roof off her. Aunt Qiao put her hands on her hips and shouted : "Qiao Conglin, Qiao Mingyu, do you two deserve a beating?"

Qiao Conglin is her eldest grandson, and Qiao Mingyu is her young niece.

The two children are seven or eight years old, leading a group of five, six, three or four year olds to make a fuss, really...

"Grandma~" As soon as Qiao Conglin saw his grandma coming, he immediately turned into a cute face, completely different from that of Brother Hou going down the mountain just now.If he could take off a long coat that he didn't know where to get at this time, this well-behaved look would look a little more similar.

"Ma'am, hehe." The thing Qiao Xiaomei is most afraid of is that someone will call her name. Whenever this happens, it means that she is going to die. Her eyes are rolling around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Just now a group of people were playing havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the house, Qiao Conglin was the monkey brother, and she was directing a group of immortals to suppress the monkey brother in front of the queen mother. The group of people were playing vigorously when they saw her aunt coming, and they didn't even have a chance to hide No, caught straight.

How can this be good~

If there is anyone that Miss Qiao fears the most, the first is her second sister, and the second is her aunt.

They had no parents since they were young. She and her twin brother were almost brought up by her second sister. She had to fight mischievously since she was a child, and when her second sister picked her up, she would be spanked.

For this aunt who looks kindly, but actually acts like a tigress when she loses her temper, the group of children are also very scary.
