Chapter 87 Dragon Boat Festival Reunion

A whole family, except Zhixiang and Wenhan, were all together. Chen looked at the Sun Man and Di in front of him, and was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth and kept smiling. Needless to say, the old man was just as happy, chatting with his sons happily.

When Mrs. Xue saw this situation, she hurried into the house to cook. It was almost noon. These people could not just be happy and not eat. When Mrs. Zhu saw that her sister-in-law came into the house to cook, she also went into the house to help. Fortunately, there were still a few side dishes in the field at this time. Her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law worked hard for a while and then prepared all the food.

"Mom, let's have a meal first. It's nothing to do anyway. Let's talk slowly after dinner." Xue finished the meal and said.

"Okay, let's have a meal first. After lunch, we will make rice dumplings together. If I had known you could come back, I would have soaked more rice." The old lady muttered.

The table was placed outside, and everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting. "Huixin, you come to the mountain, didn't you go to the other end of the Tao family's old house to take a look?" Chen thought of this and asked quickly.

"I went there, Qingnian bought some things and took them, but didn't enter the door, so I gave them to Qingyu directly." Huixin replied. It has been more than a year and a half, and Qingnian and the other end of the old house have always had a bad relationship. When Huixin was born in Jinghui, she went to the other end of the old house to report the good news, but no one came to the other end of the old house. After that, Qingnian was very annoyed, but even so, Qingnian did not miss the gift. Every time during the holidays, I would buy some things to deliver them, and I would not enter the yard. It would be fine if anyone opened the door. It wasn't that Qingnian was unfilial, but it was really that the other end of the old house had no attitude at all. What should I do if someone did?

"Oh, the old man and the old lady of the Tao family are really good. Since they have already talked about it, they can get along well in the future. Where can they not interact? Qingnian did the right thing, and we sent things to the other end, which means that you have not forgotten your parents, and whether they accept them is their business. Qingnian is not wrong in the whole thing, why should he treat him like this? Qingnian is the most innocent person." After hearing the situation of the Tao family, the old lady couldn't help but say a few words.

"I don't think about those things anymore. We don't have anything to do to them. Just do whatever you like. I'm just thinking about looking at Jinghui and taking good care of Jinghui." Huixin hugged Jinghui and was feeding him food.

Jinghan and the others were watching Jinghe and Wenxing gnawing birds. The birds they caught were all roasted and exuded an attractive fragrance. Jinghan and the others have eaten them often these days, and they are not so greedy. Jinghe and Wenxing have never eaten them. Now they are so delicious. Wenxuan, although Wenchang has not been at home often, he has eaten wild game in the mountains before, so everyone took one and ate it there, leaving the rest to Wenxing brothers and sisters.

"Jinghe, be slower, be careful." Jinghan reminded. Jinghe has always been eating by himself, but his eating style is very good and will not fall to the ground at all. Wenxing is bigger than Jinghe, but he has eaten a lot of it. "Wenxing, you have to eat more slowly. Look at you, these fallen on the ground can be fed a chick." Jinghan teased.

Wen Xing felt a little embarrassed after hearing Jinghan's words, so he slowly chewed on it, careful not to drop things into the ground.

After lunch, Chen asked the children to go to bed, and then Chen led Xue and his sister-in-law to make rice dumplings. Jinghan and the others woke up very early in the morning just to see the tusserole silkworms. After dinner, they were really tired, so everyone went back to the house to sleep. The tusserole silkworms usually just came out to find food in the morning, and when the sun was too poisonous, they all hid under the leaves, so they usually didn't have to watch them in the afternoon.

When the children woke up, Chen and the others had already wrapped all the rice dumplings and put them in a large basin.

Taking advantage of the sunshine, Chen went into the house and found five colors of silk threads, which were matched into colorful threads, and then slapped them out. These colorful threads are a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, used to tie them around the hands and necks and ankles of children. This thing needs to be prepared in advance. Put them outside on the fourth night of the lunar month and let the dew be beaten, and then tie them to the children on the fifth morning of the lunar month. This colorful thread is naturally a spiritual sustenance for people, hoping that children can suppress evil and avoid poison and live a long life.

After dinner, Chen put the rice dumplings into the pot and then filled them with water. Press a stone slab on the rice dumplings to prevent the rice dumplings from floating upwards, so that they can cook quickly. Boil the fire under the pot, and after two quarters of an hour, you can slowly stop the fire. Stew the rice dumplings in the pot for one night, and the next morning, you can eat the delicious rice dumplings.

On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Wencheng brought these younger brothers and sisters from home to the river to wash their faces. There was no high mountain here, so everyone didn't go up the mountain to watch the sunrise. When they got home, the rice dumplings were out of the pot, and of course the eggs were also simmered in the pot for a long time.

"That's all this morning, there are enough zongzi and egg tubes." Chen said, and brought the large pot of eggs to the table. Of course, not only eggs were included, but also a lot of goose eggs. The Xu family hatched 200 little gooses this year, and last year's, there are nearly 300 gooses in the yard, so Xue didn't feel sorry for eating some goose eggs or something.

Everyone ate eggs and rice dumplings together, but they didn't eat those goose eggs, but stayed. "Second sister, let's touch the eggs. The goose eggs have thick skin and should be even more powerful." Wen Xuan said. He was still a child, and the first thing he thought of was to play.

"You guys play first, Jingwan and I are going to work. At this time, the tusseria silkworms are preparing to eat the leaves of the oak tree, and they must go over and take a look." Jinghan didn't have that time to play with them, so he led Jingwan out.

When Wenxuan heard that he was going to see the tussaurus, he quickly ran out. Wenchang and Wenxuan were always together, and he also wanted to see what the tussaurus was like, so he followed closely behind and ran out. Everyone came to the forest to the north.

I saw some insects crawling densely on the several oak trees in the forest. The insects were small and black. They were all gnawing on the leaves. The trees chosen by Jinghan were not too tall, less than two meters, and Jinghan was now more than one meter and four meters tall, so it was easy to reach the branches on the tree. Jinghan took a handful of big scissors and cut some branches down. These branches were the densest type of tusser silkworms. Carrying the branches, he walked to the oak tree that did not have tusser silkworms not far away, and then put the branches on the tree, and saw the small silkworms slowly climbing onto the tree.

Jinghan kept cutting some branches and moved the silkworms to many trees. During the growth of the tussalis silkworms, the most important thing is to move the silkworms. If they are not in time, it will cause the silkworms to survive without food. By the time all these crops were moved, it was already the beginning of the silence, and everyone quickly returned to the venue to join.

As soon as Jinghan entered the venue, he heard many people talking inside. When they went in, they found that it was the eldest brother who had returned. Wenhan sat on the edge of the kang, looking excited and joyful.

"Brother, you are back, and our nanny talks about you every day." Jinghan saw the eldest brother and jumped to Wen Han's side. "Brother, how are you doing the exam?"

Wen Han looked at Jinghan and found that his sister had turned black. "Jinghan, what are you busy with? Look at you, you are all tanned." Wen Han said with some distress. "Brother is doing well in the exam. Zixuan and Pengcheng, both of me passed the examination in the palace, and now they can be considered a child." Wen Han told this good news.

Jinghan looked at his brother, a fifteen-year-old boy, who had grown up handsome and tall, and had completely inherited the advantages of the Xu family. His brother had grown up and became a handsome and elegant young man. Jinghan was very proud to think. Jinghan was not surprised that Wen Han could pass the mansion exam. Although Wen Han had been delayed for a year in the mountain, he did not give up studying in this year. He still took time to study every day and did some questions that Zixuan had made. Later, he went to study in the town. Wenhan also worked very hard. If he failed this exam, he really didn't know what to do to pass the exam.

"Brother, do you still have to take the hospital examination in autumn?" Jinghan asked softly.

Wen Han nodded, "Well, there is a college entrance examination this year. I want to try it. No matter whether I can pass the exam or not, it is ultimately a training. Even if I fail, I can accumulate some experience. I am still young. If I don't do this year, I will wait for the next time." Wen Han's eyes were calm and firm, just like his mood at the moment.

"Okay, we're back. Let's celebrate today. Let's make some good dishes tonight, and everyone has a meal." The old man was addicted to alcohol and yelled to celebrate.

Of course, everyone did not object to this. "Okay, today is a holiday, so we should make something delicious. There is meat and fish at home. Let's have a good meal in the evening." Chen said. "Merry Lin, isn't there a hen at home that doesn't like laying eggs? Kill it and let's satisfy our cravings."

Chen said that chicken was sentenced to death. In the evening, everyone had a lively reunion dinner together. The food on the table was very rich, and the children ate a lot, and they all ate a lot, and their stomachs were round.

The old man was very happy today, so he drank a little too much, "Okay, Wenhan is a good person, much better than his fifth uncle. Come on, boss, you have a good son, let's have a drink for two of us." The old man had another drink with Zhixin.

When Chen saw it, he knew that the old man was a little too much. He was happy today and it was hard to avoid his interest. So Chen pretended that he didn't see it, and turned his head and talked to his daughter-in-law next to him.

Fortunately, the old man understood it himself. After drinking that glass, he stopped drinking. "I am old and can't do it. I'm too poor in alcohol. I won't drink anymore. My buddy drink more, I'll have a meal." The old man picked up his bowl and ate.
