284. Banquet in the village
"white!"
Mo Xuan looked at the fields ahead and called affectionately.
Bai Jiu: "What's the matter?"
"It's time to go to the banquet." Mo Xuan took a step forward and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Bai Jiu followed Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan took Bai Jiu to the uneven road on the surface and walked down.
While walking down the small road and observing the scenery of the fields on the roadside, Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Bai, do you still remember where our village usually holds banquets?"
Bai Jiu nodded and replied, "Remember, it is usually in the red tiled square in front of the Taoist temple."
"Bai, you have a really good memory! I haven't been back for so long, I still remember these things!" Mo Xuan glanced at the red tiled square on the road in front of him, and saw that there was no one on it, and smiled: "It seems that this banquet was actually held in front of the Taoist temple! What kind of banquet is coming this time?"
Bai Jiu: "Birthday banquet."
"Why is there a birthday party every year?" Mo Xuan frowned and said in confusion: "Are there so many people in our village??"
Bai Jiu explained: "It's not the birthday of 60 or 70 years old, but to celebrate the 96-year-old man in the village who lived another year of life. As long as the old man is not dead, it will be held every year."
"What's the name of the oldest old man in that village?" Mo Xuan tilted his head and thought.
Bai Jiu: "Su Lanying."
"Oh!" Mo Xuan exaggeratedly "Oh", revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.
Bai Jiu glanced at Mo Xuan who was pretending to behave and said lightly: "A Xuan, you don't understand, do you?"
"Haha..." Mo Xuan touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly for a few times, and honestly said: "That's right, I don't know that Su Lanying, so I have no impression at all."
"By the way!" Mo Xuan changed the topic and said, "I remember how many birthday banquets are held in the village every year? Are there so many elderly people in their 90s in the village?"
"No." Bai Jiu shook his head and explained: "Su Lanying is the longest-lived person in the village and is the birthday star in the village. Every year the village holds a birthday banquet for her. As for other birthday banquets, they are held by their children to show their filial piety to their elderly parents."
"I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in it!" Mo Xuan felt so eye-opening and said in admiration: "Bai, you know so much! My impression of the banquet was to eat, Na Na Na! I had no idea what the meaning behind this, and I really learned about it today!"
After turning around, the stones blocking the view built a tree planting platform disappeared. Seeing the lively crowd, Mo Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah, we're here!"
There were more than a dozen round tables covered with red plastic in the small square in front of the Taoist temple and the empty places around. At this time, most of the round tables were full of people, and there were people shuttled and crossing during the banquet. The entire small square seemed very lively.
"Bai, let's find out where my parents are!" Mo Xuan said with a smile.
My parents have already come to the banquet first and have already taken a good position for themselves and Bai, so now we have to find my parents first.
Mo Xuan and Bai Jiu searched in the small square with their eyes, and soon Bai Jiu found his parents.
"A Xuan, found it." Bai Jiu spoke out and saw Mo Xuan looking at him. Bai Jiu stretched out his hand to point out where Mo Bufan and others were, "Where is it."
"My mom, and the fourth uncle and aunt are all here!" Mo Xuan looked in the direction of Bai Jiuzhi. When he saw four acquaintances, he couldn't help but smile: "Most of the table are acquaintances, it's great!"
Mo Xuan took Bai Jiu over and found two seats at the table where his father and others were. Bai Jiu and Liu Fang sat next to each other, while Mo Xuan sat next to Bai Jiu.
Liu Fang smiled and said, "Xuan Yi, Bai, you two are here!"
Mo Xuan swept around and asked, "Have the banquet not started yet?"
Liu Fang smiled and said, "I have to wait a little longer."
"Haha! Xuan Yi, you haven't seen each other for a while, you've grown taller again!"
In addition to Mo Bufan, Mo Feifan, Liu Fang and aunt, there were three people who were not known to Mo Xuan. At this time, one of the slightly fat middle-aged and elderly people looked at Mo Xuan and smiled.
Who? Mo Xuan looked at the slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man, and his eyes showed a look of confusion.
Seeing Mo Xuan showing confusion, Liu Fang repeatedly introduced: "Xuanyi, this is your second uncle! Say hello!"
What the hell is the second uncle?!
Mo Xuan looked at the slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man carefully and confirmed that he had no impression at all. However, after his mother said everything, Mo Xuan could only say hello dryly: "Hello, second uncle! Happy New Year!"
"Haha!" The slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man couldn't help but laugh calmly when he saw Mo Xuan's appearance: "It seems that Xuan Yi doesn't know me!"
"Yes, this child is very introverted and likes to stay at home all day, and he doesn't know many relatives!" Liu Fang complained a little.
"That's right, Xuan Yi is very introverted. I used to worry that this child is so introverted and has no future in the future. Now I don't have to worry about seeing him!" Mo Bufan couldn't help but look at Bai Jiu several times while talking with a smile.
Mo Feifan also nodded and echoed: "This child Xuanyi is much more promising than my child!"
Mo Xuan looked at the adults who seemed excited and curled his lips speechlessly. These adults regard me as a topic again, which is really hateful!
"By the way, Xuan Yi, I'll give you this pack of cigarettes!" The slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man put the Zhonghua cigarette in front of Mo Xuan and smiled and said, "Take it for some money and buy snacks!"
"It was posted at the banquet?" Mo Xuan picked up the cigarette and looked at it.
As a veteran of "reselling cigarettes", Mo Xuan recognized at a glance that the pack of cigarettes in his hand was the best Zhonghua cigarette. The packaging was intact. If you buy a pack, it would cost more than 20 yuan. The recycling price of the small shop in the village was about 13-15 yuan.
The slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man nodded and said, "Well, that's right. No one smokes at our table, so I'll give you this pack of cigarettes!"
"Then I'm not polite!" Mo Xuan took away the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes without hesitation and received the cigarettes at the banquet. This is not the first time Mo Xuan has encountered such a thing, and he is already very accustomed to this kind of scene.
It is not the first time Mo Xuan has done the matter of collecting cigarettes and buying cigarettes at the banquet, and he is very familiar with it! So now Mo Xuan is thinking about taking this pack of cigarettes to a small shop in the village after the banquet.
The slightly fat middle-aged and elderly man looked at Bai Jiu, and his eyes were filled with surprise and then he stayed on Bai Jiu's white hair for a while, and asked, "Who is this?"
As soon as the slightly fat middle-aged and elderly people finished speaking, Liu Fang immediately replied: "My future daughter-in-law!"
When Mo Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel black in his forehead!
Mom, you are too impatient!? Do you want to label our family as a brand, motivate me! The abacus is so loud!
"Xuanyi, are you going to get married?" The slightly fat middle-aged and elderly person was a little surprised. The other two people Mo Xuan didn't know at the same table showed surprise when they heard this.
Liu Fang smiled and said, "It's so soon!"
Mo Bufan looked at Liu Fang's happy smile and sighed without saying anything. After all, he also recognized Bai Jiu's daughter-in-law. As for Mo Feifan, his aunt and the two are Liu Fang's relatives, of course, Liu Fang said whatever they said! He would not say anything to Liu Fang's face.
"I got married at such a young age, and my future is unlimited!" A slightly fat middle-aged and elderly person showed the kind smile of his elders on his face, and looked at Mo Xuan and congratulated him: "I'll mention it here to congratulate you on your happy son as soon as possible! There are many children and grandchildren!"
Happy to have a noble son!? The family is full of descendants?! This is what...
Mo Xuan carefully peeked at Bai Jiu. After seeing that Bai Jiu had no reaction, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart!
Fortunately, I didn’t get angry. If I got angry... Who should I help? Is this the origin of the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Fortunately, I don’t care about gossip!
Bai's mind should have been refined since childhood. It's really sad to think about it like this!
