After leaving the house, there was Fourth Uncle's house on the left, Mrs. Fan's house on the upper right. Uncle Jin's house was behind the house, and he had to pass in front of Fifth Uncle's house. Mu Yi was a little afraid of being rejected, so he thought about it and went through it first.

Mrs. Fan’s family invited her. Because the relationship between the two families was good, Xiao Linyin was also very helpful to her.

Mu Yi knocked on the door of Mrs. Fan's house and explained her intention. Mrs. Fan happily agreed. Xiao Linyin also said: "Brother Mu, if you need any help, just let me know. If you need tables and benches,

Just come here and lift it."

Mu Yi thanked them and went to Uncle Jin's house. After explaining his intention, Aunt Jin happily agreed. She also told Mu Yi that not only could she borrow tables and benches, but there would also be many cooks here when she got married.

You can take the household items and use them. Aunt Jin also asked Mu Yi with concern if she had invited her grandma. Mu Yi told her that she was preparing to invite her. He also told Aunt Jin about his mother's attitude.

Because Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin’s family are the benefactors of Mu Yi’s family. They gave them a lot of help during Mu Yi’s most difficult time. They were much better to them than their own grandparents and father-in-law’s family. So.

Mu Yi's family is very grateful and trusts Uncle Jin's family.

Aunt Jin encouraged Mu Yi and said that he was doing the right thing. If he didn’t come to invite him, it was Mu Yi’s fault. If he went to invite them, and they didn’t come, it was because they were doing something wrong. No matter what grievances and conflicts the previous generation had.

, we should not continue to pass on these grievances and conflicts.

After getting comfort and encouragement from Aunt Jin, as soon as Mu left the door, he knocked on the door of Yao Shu's house.

Uncle Yao heard someone knocking on the door and thought it was a friend calling him to play cards. He opened the door and was surprised to see it was Mu Yi.

"Oh. Young man, why are you here? Come and sit inside, it's cold outside."

As soon as Mu Yi entered the house, he told Uncle Yao and Yao Shen about the engagement tomorrow. Because Aunt Yao was a little hard of hearing, she couldn't hear clearly what Mu Yi said. Uncle Yao told her loudly that Mu Yi

Tomorrow it was time to "get the horoscope". So uncle was very happy when he heard it and quickly congratulated Mu Yi.

Uncle Yao said happily: "The fact that you, young man, can walk into Uncle Yao's house still shows that you have this Uncle Yao in your eyes. This is a good thing and everyone is happy. I will call your Aunt Yao to come over early tomorrow to help with the work."

Muyi thanked my uncle and aunt.

Uncle Yao then asked, "Have you invited your grandma or the others?"

"I'm going to invite them, and I'll start with you first. I don't know if they will agree yet. I'm afraid I'll open my mouth and invite them. If they don't come, it will be a bit embarrassing."

"Go and invite her. Your grandma should probably come. As for some people, it doesn't matter whether they come or not. Your young man has followed your footsteps, so you respect him. If he is not respected, that is his own business.

I don’t blame you anymore.”

Yao Shu's words strengthened Mu Yi's thoughts. Mu Yi still thought so in his heart. After leaving Yao Shu's house, Mu Yi thought about it and felt that it would not be good to invite grandma empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. So he turned around and walked to the street.

I bought some noodles, pastries and milk. Then I arrived at the gate of my fourth uncle's house.

Because the courtyard door and the hall door are about twelve or three meters apart, and it was already dark and cold. Muyi saw through the gap in the courtyard door that the door of the hall of the fourth uncle's house was closed, but there were still some lights.

It leaked from inside. When he knew they were at home, he shouted loudly and banged on the courtyard door, causing the fourth uncle's dog to bark non-stop. The dog's barking finally alerted the people in the house.

The fourth uncle then walked out of the main room and opened the courtyard door. He was also surprised to see Mu Yi.

"Hello, fourth uncle!" Mu Yi greeted him warmly.

He asked coldly: "What's the matter with you?"

Mu Yi said: "Uncle Fourth, I'm here to wish grandma a happy new year. I'm getting engaged tomorrow, so I invite you to come over for a meal."

The fourth uncle did not speak, but hesitated for a moment, then blocked the dog. Seeing this, Mu Yi stepped into the yard of the fourth uncle's house. Walking on the yard of the fourth uncle's house, Mu Yi felt filled with emotions. Although

It's only separated by a wall, but I haven't been here for many years.

When he came to the main room, Mu Yi saw his grandma, fourth aunt, and cousins ​​sitting around the stove watching TV. He quickly greeted them one by one.

Grandma: "Mu Yi, do you still remember that there is a grandma here?"

Such a simple sentence made Mu Yi feel really uncomfortable in his heart. If he hadn't come to invite grandma and the others to his engagement party today, to be honest, Mu Yi would not have had the courage to go there.

Come here. It doesn't take a day to freeze three feet of ice. If you want to break the ice and thaw it, it doesn't take a day.

Seeing that no one came to take over the things, Mu Yi tried his best to keep smiling and put the things on the table. Then he walked to the stove and sat down to warm himself. While doing so, he smiled and said, "My grandson is not here to wish you a happy new year."

ah."

Grandma: "I'm afraid you just don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason."

"Grandma, I really made it right for you. My grandson is getting engaged tomorrow. I'm going to invite you, my fourth uncle and your aunt, and your family to come over and have fun tomorrow."

When grandma heard this, she was very happy and asked, "Whose girl is she from?"

"Grandma, she is a girl from Jin Chongming's family on Jin's main road."

Grandma asked with some confusion: "That Jin Chongming, I've never heard of it."

The fourth uncle took over and said, "That's Dr. Jin. His family runs a winery, right?"

Mu Yi quickly nodded and replied: "My fourth uncle is right, it's his home."

Grandma said thoughtfully: "Oh, Dr. Jin, this man is very kind-hearted. One year he came to look after pigs for us, but when he saw that we were in trouble, he didn't even accept the money. Well, well, well, you have found a good father-in-law.

After I got my horoscopes, I chose a good day to finish the nine bowls and let me become an old lady as soon as possible."

Mu Yi smiled sheepishly: "Okay. Grandma, I'd like to lend you some good advice. I'll ask you to come over early tomorrow to have some fun."

"Okay. Grandma is coming."

When Mu saw that his fourth aunt had been pretending to watch TV and ignoring his existence since he entered the main room, he felt a little unhappy. However, there was nothing he could do. After all, the relationship between the two families was like this. He said to his fourth uncle: "

Then I’ll invite my four uncles, four aunts, and my younger brothers and sisters to come over and play early tomorrow.”

The fourth uncle did not speak, but nodded.

Seeing that everyone accepted the invitation, Mu Yi said goodbye.

When I got home, my mother was so angry that she went to bed. My father and his brothers were still fighting landlords. Seeing this scene, Mu Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

When Father saw Mu Yi coming back, he turned around and asked, "What did they say?"

"Everyone agreed. Mrs. Fan's family and Uncle Jin's family also said that if there are not enough tables and benches, they can borrow them. This is really not easy. Most people will not lend things to others during the Chinese New Year."

"Yes. There is such a thing. What did the two families say?"

"Uncle Yao's family is very happy. Uncle Yao also said to call Aunt Yao to come over early tomorrow to help."

"That's good. Where is your fourth uncle's house?"

"The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt didn't say anything. Only the fourth uncle nodded when I came out. But judging from the fourth aunt's attitude, it might be one thing whether she comes or not."

"Where's your grandma?"

"Grandma promised to come."

"Oh. That's good. Come on, the four of us will play fourteen."

"Dad, forget it. Let's stop fighting. Let's calculate how many people will come to eat tomorrow and see how much rice we need to cook and how much vegetables we need to buy."

"What's the point of this? People will come tomorrow and go out to the street to buy, cook, and win."

When his father said this, Mu Yi panicked. "You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, who sells vegetables to you until noon? I'm so thankful to have someone selling vegetables in the morning. This is not Chengdu."

My father smiled and said, "That's right. I'm already used to Chengdu. I thought I could buy everything when I went out. I didn't realize it was in Datang. Well, tomorrow morning you and that matchmaker Tian Sanjie will go

Pick up the Bazi and bring it back. The three of you brothers will go to the street to buy groceries. It’s up to you to buy whatever you want. Let’s take five hundred yuan to see if it’s enough for the groceries.”

Although he still didn’t know how much food he would buy and how much it would cost, Mu Yi thought that even if it wasn’t enough, he still had some money. He said nothing more and said, “Dad, have you prepared the gift money for me?”

?”

"It's ready. Should I give it to you tomorrow morning? Or should I give it to you now?"

"I'll get it tomorrow. By the way, I heard there's also a piece of meat. Where can I buy meat now?"

Brother Jun said quickly: "When you went out to treat guests, one of dad's friends brought pork."

The father looked at Mu Yi with some pride: "Well, these friends of mine are still upright. I have already prepared the money for the eight-character fortune. On the way back from your mother-in-law's house, I was thinking about what else was missing. I thought.

It took me a long time to remember that according to the old rules, there was still a piece of meat missing. When I got to the street, I took a special look and found that there was no meat seller on the street. I quickly called my friend and called him

You tried your best to find me a piece of pork. I am still upright. I found the meat. Tomorrow you can carry the meat with confidence and go with the money."

Brother Jun: "Brother, you don't know. That piece of meat is so long. It looks like it was cut from the belly to the spine with one knife."

Mu Yi set the alarm clock to 5:30 in the morning and went to bed.

With things on his mind, Mu Yi didn't sleep well. He woke up early in the morning before the alarm clock went off. After getting dressed, he looked out the big window into darkness. Mu Yi went downstairs anyway.

Hearing the movement in the house, his father also got up. He gave Mu Yi eight thousand yuan. The two sat by the stove and waited for Third Sister Tian. Mu Yi was afraid that Third Sister Tian would be late from bed and unable to get up, so he wanted to fight.

I called to ask, but after dialing all the phone numbers, I felt it was inappropriate. I didn’t call. I was afraid that Third Sister Tian would come and Black Tiger would bark, so Mu opened the door of the living room, went out, took Black Tiger home, and locked him in the kitchen.
