"Second uncle." Yang Xiaoxiao shouted happily. Liu Wubin looked at Yang Xiaoxiao with a grin, and then gave a thumbs up to Liu Huaxing: "Yes, the wife is pretty. When will you get married? Your second uncle is waiting. Eat your wedding wine."
"Let's wait for college graduation first." Liu Huaxing said with a wry smile.
"Have you heard!?" Liu Wubin unearthed his son from the crowd at this time, "Don't be overtaken by your brother. Get married early and let your old man and I hug your grandson earlier!"
After speaking, Liu Wubin made a grimace from Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao, smiled and said, "Go for a walk, go in and sit!"
After a while, Liu Xuebin's eldest brother, Liu Wenbin, also came back. The three brothers were almost carved out of the same mold, with only the slight differences in face and body. Walking on the street, you can tell that they are three brothers without introduction.
It's just that Liu Wenbin, his eldest brother, is more calm and quiet, and he doesn't laugh like Liu Wubin.
After greeting the family for a while, he visited the elders in the family again, and came to his second uncle's house to prepare the family to have lunch.But because too many people came to eat, I couldn't sit down in the living room, so I put four or five tables in the backyard. Fortunately, the house is big.
"A lot of people, are these all relatives in your family?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise before the meal.
Liu Huaxing gently touched her ear and said, "Yes, there are about 20 people who are directly related by blood. Then their husbands, wives, father-in-laws, and some distant relatives, add up to There are so many. Basically half of the entire Liujiawan is our family."
This is the truth. There are only three to four hundred people in this bay, and half of them are caused by relatives.The people in the old family are like this. After one person gets rich, he drives the others, so everyone slowly gathers in this area.
"Are you still used to it?" Liu Huaxing asked Yang Xiaoxiao gently by her ears and asked her to look at herself. Yang Xiaoxiao smiled: "Get used to it, I'm still worried that you are not used to it. You don't usually like the excitement. Place?"
"But these are all family members." Liu Huaxing explained with a smile. At this time, firecrackers were released suddenly outside, which was considered by the old family to celebrate his entrance to university.
After setting off the firecrackers, everyone officially went to the table for dinner.
This meal seems to be home-cooked food, but in the restaurant outside, there are no two or three thousand dishes on this table.All the rice and vegetables on the table, every grain of rice, every egg, every chicken, every fish, and even every green onion, are grown by the family themselves, and they are not grown with chemical fertilizers. They are sold, but planted to pass the time when they have nothing to do.
Because the second uncle's family conditions are relatively good, it has driven the relatives and neighbors around to get rich together, so the women in the family stay idle, grow vegetables at home to take care of children and so on, and take care of the house.
Although the dishes are very simple, the fish is particularly fishy, the meat is particularly meaty, and the dishes are particularly vegetable. This is the kind of taste that you can't eat in many places in the city, and it tastes delicious no matter what.
"Xiaoxiao, are you accustomed to eating?" Lu Jing asked caringly, and Yang Xiaoxiao nodded her head repeatedly: "Well! It's delicious!"
"Why, you are not used to eating?" Liu Huaxing's second mother asked quickly, and Lu Jing explained: "This kid, likes spicy food..."
"Come on, eat spicy chicken! Come on, eat more, this spicy!" All of the relatives on the dining table all started to pick up dishes for Yang Xiaoxiao, wishing to stuff all the spicy dishes on the table into her bowl. The little girl is anxious: "Enough is enough, uncles and aunts, please eat, I can't eat so much by myself! I know how to eat..."
Liu Huaxing held back his laughter and did not speak. At this time, his second uncle put a chicken leg for him: "Eat more, men must be strong!"
"Hey, good!" Liu Huaxing responded with a smile, bowed his head and ate, there was a lot of laughter on the table.
Eating in my hometown is not so restrictive. Children eat children’s food, and adults eat adults’ food. I just stand on the side without a seat. I can go to any table I want to eat.The old family likes to pick up vegetables and go to the door to squat to eat, so every noon you can see a few big old men outside this row of small western-style houses squatting on the side of the road, eating and talking.
But after the table, men usually drink a little wine to brag, and the table is also full of noise.Naturally, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao didn't drink, so they said hello after dinner and left the table early.
"Oh, it's hard for me..." After the meal, Yang Xiaoxiao sat down on the sofa and exclaimed.
"Let me touch it, little belly." Liu Huaxing rubbed her belly and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, it's really bulging!"
This was the first time that Liu Huaxing was able to touch Yang Xiaoxiao's stomach with a noticeable bulge, and he burst out laughing.
"You hate it, don't laugh!" Yang Xiaoxiao frowned and groaned, "What should I do! I am not good to not eat the one that someone gave me!"
"You can give it to me, fool." Liu Huaxing squeezed her little nose and smiled, and Yang Xiaoxiao murmured: "But the dishes are more spicy, I'm afraid you will not be able to stand it if you eat it. Now I am moving. No more."
"Then, do you like my old family?" Liu Huaxing asked her while rubbing her belly. Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Well! Everyone likes how I feel, even though they don't understand me, it's just because I am your girlfriend, so I like me very much. It feels good to be liked. And everyone is very enthusiastic. Although most of the dialects they speak I don’t understand, but..."
Yang Xiaoxiao tilted her little head for a while and thought: "They just say what they are, and they don't mean anything. And I think the most powerful thing is that everyone knows, obviously there are thirty or forty people! To be honest, I even have 100 relatives in my family. 80% of their full names are unknown, which shows how good their relationship is. This kind of close family taste... I like it very much."
"You will also join this big family in the future." Liu Huaxing touched her hair and said with a smile. Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at him irritably: "It depends on your performance. I told you. Don't think I'm already locked in by you. You have to spoil me, and I won't marry you easily if you don't spoil me, you know?"
"I see, my baby strawberry." Liu Huaxing took her little hand and kissed it.
However, there are no "modern" entertainment activities in my hometown other than watching TV, but there are a lot of rural entertainment activities.
In the afternoon, the people in the old family also set up a few tables of mahjong and started playing. Grandma followed the aunt and the second mother and went to the door. Everyone said that Liu Huaxing was admitted to college, and his second uncle Liu Wubin caught him at this time. Smiled on his shoulder and said: "Go, go fishing with your second uncle, and your father will go too. Your uncle's own fish pond, just fish."
"I don't like fishing..." Liu Huaxing said with a wry smile.
"Let's go, take a look at the fish pond." Lu Jing also instigated, "If you don't like fishing, go and feed the fish."
After thinking about it, Liu Huaxing had nothing to do here, so he turned to Yang Xiaoxiao: "Little Strawberry, do you want to go?"
"Whatever I want." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled while holding his arm, "I will go wherever you go."
"After catching the fish, I will take you to pick strawberries in your second mother's field later! Pick as many as you want!" Liu Wubin greeted enthusiastically. After thinking about it, Liu Huaxing agreed, in order to let his own little strawberry eat. Serve her favorite strawberry.
So, they came to the fish pond, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao wandered around the fish pond boredly, Liu Huaxing’s father leisurely sat with Liu Wubin on the pond fishing, smoking and drinking beer. It was very uncomfortable, and Liu Huaxing’s uncle He took him, Yang Xiaoxiao, and Lu Jing around the ponds and introduced them to the creatures raised in the ponds.
"Inside, there are crayfish in this pond. The crayfish in this season are not big anymore. If you come on May 1st, that one...so big!" Liu Wenbin gestured to them with his hands, then shook his head regretfully Said: "This season, what a delicious thing. You can go to your aunt's field to chop some sugar cane later. From now on, come in July and August and eat the most..."
Liu Wenbin introduced to them all kinds of delicious food in his old home, and asked them to come back in July and August next time.
Then, his second uncle saw that they were bored here, so he took them to pick strawberries in the second mother's field.
The little girl was so happy to see so many strawberries, they were flying around in the field, very cute.
"Oh, my Xiaoxiao is so cute." Seeing Yang Xiaoxiao picking strawberries, Liu Huaxing couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Come, come, this, this is big!" Seeing that they were squeezing, Liu Wubin couldn't help but ended up personally, plucking the biggest and reddest strawberries and putting them in the bag.
Lu Jing couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Second brother, you made a mess of the second sister-in-law's field, do you think she will not scold you when she goes back!?"
"Well, what's the curse of this? Give it to my star daughter-in-law, she is very happy!" Liu Wubin said with no anger, and continued to search the field like a bandit, finally collecting a large bag of strawberries.
"Go! Go back and wash and you can eat." Liu Wubin stood up and greeted, and then took the lead and walked back.
What Liu Huaxing likes the most about his old family is that they will give them the best things without hesitation. There is no sense of distress, and they are very happy to see that they like to eat.This is probably the love of the family, giving unconditionally and asking for nothing in return.
"It's so sweet, the strawberry tastes so authentic..." Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help sighing after taking a bite of the strawberry.
Indeed, Liu Huaxing is not particularly cold with strawberries, but this strawberry is really...especially strawberry flavor.As soon as I eat it, the sweet and sour fragrance rushes from the mouth to the nasal cavity, and then the unique sweet and sour taste of strawberry.It's obviously not the best season for strawberries.
"I still prefer this strawberry." Liu Huaxing said and kissed Yang Xiaoxiao on the face.
Yang Xiaoxiao squinted at him and smiled, then looked around, taking advantage of no one, pouting a strawberry and pouting.
Liu Huaxing leaned over and ate the strawberries without saying anything, and then gently poked her forehead: "This is a foul?"
