Mu Yi gave his daughter a nickname that he thought sounded nice - Lele. He hoped that his daughter could grow up happily.

I am very happy and have been in this world for three days. According to the custom of Xigui, I rushed to pick up my father-in-law as soon as possible in the early morning, and my mother-in-law came to have a "three-chao meal". After picking up my father-in-law, my mother-in-law also came.

Lele’s grandfather, grandmother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, grandma, aunt and other relatives.

Everyone came to No. 10 Shunzhong Lane one after another. Everyone gathered together, laughed and congratulated each other, and it was so lively. The little guy was not afraid of strangers and was very popular with everyone. When everyone asked what they had named the little guy, Jin Lily answered.

I told everyone that I called her "Lele". Everyone shouted Lele's name and teased her...

Mu Yi was busy going to his uncle's house to borrow tables, benches, pots and pans. His uncle and Mu Yi went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. When they came back, his uncle helped cut vegetables and cook. His aunt and mother-in-law were also in the courtyard.

There is a lot of work going on here.

Grandpa Lele also specially went to the mountain to fetch some herbs such as bargrass roots and mugwort leaves, and boiled water for Lele to "wash three times". He also "rolled the eggs" to remove bad luck.

When eating the "three-chao meal", everyone agreed on the "auspicious day" and the day for the "full moon wine".

After dinner, everyone asked Jin Lily to "confine her child" in peace, and asked Mu Yi to take good care of Jin Lily and her daughter, and then left together. No one stayed to take care of Jin Lily and her daughter during their "confinement period".

Mu woke up early and cooked breakfast for Jin Lily, changed Lele's diaper, and then went to work. After getting off work at noon, he ran back to cook for Jin Lily, changed Lele's diaper, and then went to work.

After getting off work in the afternoon, I ran to buy groceries, came back to cook, and changed diapers. In the evening, I boiled hot water and scrubbed Jin Lily's body. Then, I washed the diapers, cooked the diapers, baked the diapers...the days went by like this.

About nine days after Lele was born, it was time to start "giving blessing rice". The three relatives and six dependents on both sides, either by themselves or by appointment, began to bring some rice, noodles, brown sugar, hens, eggs and children.

Clothes and other items came to "send blessing rice". If Mu's family could not be found, they sent them to Jinjia Road or Watang. Some colleagues and friends of Mu Yi and Jin Lily also sent some small sweaters and woolen pants that they had knitted by themselves.

, wool shoes, or just buy some children's clothes and toys, and get some red envelopes.

According to the custom of Xigui, no one takes the initiative to entertain guests during the "Full Moon Wine". Only when the day is promising, then invite the relatives and friends who have come to give "blessings" to eat nine large bowls.

At present, the life of the Mu family is because they have devoted all their efforts to achieve the goal of "owning a house". Not only do they have little money, they also owe a lot of foreign debts. There are loans from relatives and friends, loans from banks, and

The credit for decoration of floor tiles, wooden doors, kitchen and bathroom ware, etc. In addition, Lele's birth also cost some hospitalization expenses and some purchasing expenses for daily necessities. For a time, Mu Yi's family life experienced an economic crisis and fell into

Dilemma.

In this way, what to use for "Full Moon Wine" has become the most troublesome thing for Mu Yi and Jin Lily.

Faced with the crisis in Mu Yi's family, Mu Yi's parents chose to turn a blind eye and did not lend a helping hand to them. Even the chickens they had agreed to raise were caught when Jin Lily was in confinement.

I gave it to Golden Lily, but there was no movement.

Suddenly one day, Xiaojie caught a thin hen. Jin Lily was full of joy, thinking that her mother-in-law finally remembered to catch the chicken for herself to eat. However, the reality soon hit her face with pain and hurt her heart.

Thinly chopped.

When Mu Yi came back from work, he saw Xiaojie catching a small and thin hen, so he asked with some doubts.

"Xiaojie, is this chicken a little thin?"

"Brother, my mother asked me to catch this hen for my sister-in-law to eat."

"Why not catch a fat, big one?"

Hearing Mu Yi ask Xiaojie this way, Jin Lily felt something was wrong and quickly persuaded her husband: "Don't say that to Xiaojie. It would be nice to have a chicken. You are still picky about the fat ones."

Xiaojie remained silent. Muyi quickly boiled water and slaughtered the chicken.

When the chicken feathers were plucked out, Mu Yi's heart went cold. How could this chicken still look like a chicken? If you don't know what it means to be skinny and skinny, then look at this plucked chicken and you will be

You have a very intuitive feeling.

Mu Yi and Xiao Jie silently took the chicken to the fire, burned off the hair, and washed it with water. Then they opened the intestines and disembowelled the chicken. The moment they took out the chicken's internal organs, Mu Yi became angry.

This is simply a sick chicken. The internal organs are completely diseased and changed.

Mu kept staring at Xiaojie.

"Xiaojie, look, this is the chicken you brought. Don't you know that your sister-in-law is doing confinement surgery? Don't you know that if the sick chicken gets into the stomach and gets into the milk, it will

How serious is it?"

Xiaojie also looked at Mu Yi in embarrassment and hesitated: "How do I know this chicken is sick? My mother told me to catch that one, so I will catch that one."

"This chicken is like this. Don't you know it's sick? Didn't it have any symptoms before?"

Xiaojie said in a low voice: "It just doesn't eat. Who knows if it's sick?"

…

When people are pushed into a hurry, they lose their way. Looking at Jin Lily, who is getting thinner and thinner due to lack of nutrition, Mu Yi feels heartbroken. Looking at the chicken in front of him again, Mu Yi is really sad and angry, so he directly calls the phone

I called back and scolded my parents.

After scolding, the resentment accumulated in my heart was relieved. However, what good effect could it have? It had no good effect. Instead, it had some bad effects, completely tearing apart the already fragile relationship.

. It also added a new rift for everyone to get along with each other in the future.

Xiaojie was so angry with his elder brother that he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had begun to feel that his former family was gradually falling apart, but there was nothing he could do.

He was confused. He began to doubt his life. He silently asked himself: Where should my life go?

Mu Yi didn't know what relatives on his parents' side came to send "blessings", nor did he know what relatives on his parents-in-law's side came to send "blessings." Seeing that Lele was about to be full moon, he decided to do it himself

Go to your father-in-law's house and discuss the "Full Moon Wine". After all, the "Full Moon Wine" mainly involves more relatives from your mother's family.

"Mu Yi. Why did you come up here?"

The mother-in-law was a little surprised when she saw Mu Yi entering the house.

"Oh, mom and dad are at home, right?"

Mu Yi didn't see his father-in-law, so he asked.

"Your dad is feeding the pigs in the back."

Mu Yi hurried to the back of the house and saw his father-in-law feeding pigs. The pigs in the pig pen had not grown fat yet, they were just rack pigs, and they would need to be fattened for a while before they could be released.

"Dad, you are feeding the pigs." Mu Yi greeted his father-in-law uncomfortably.

"Oh, Mu Yi. Why did you come up here? Are you relieved that only mother and daughter are left in the house?"

"I came here to discuss the 'Full Moon Wine' with you."

"Oh. Let's go inside and talk."

Jin Chongming followed Mu Yi out, washed his hands, and entered the main room.

"Yaoyao, where are you going to hold the 'Full Moon Wine'?"

"Dad, I'm just here to discuss this matter with you. I plan to do it at Chengguan instead of going back to Wattang."

Jin Chongming nodded. "The Chengguan Office is fine, but it may not be as lively as the Wattang Office."

Zhang Xuefen: "It's not lively at all. The 'Full Moon Wine' is only for women and children, not many old men. Muyi and the others can do it wherever they think it's convenient. When the time comes, this

I will just pay the fare for my relatives who are going away."

In fact, my mother-in-law has a very clear view of human nature. Although it is only a small fare of one or two yuan, it can make the relatives and friends who come to eat nine bowls feel comfortable.

"Dad, if it is only held in Chengguan, I don't know how many tables should be prepared. Besides, there are, there are..."

Mu Yi was a little unable to speak.

Jin Chongming seemed to have already thought of what Mu Yi wanted to say.

"Let's see. In order to look good, you moved your house during the 'Full Moon Wine'. Otherwise, if your relatives and friends go to see Lele at Shunzhong Lane 10, there won't even be a place to stand or sit.

There is no place for it.”

"You mean to do 'moving' and 'full moon wine' together?"

"Well. This will make it more lively. In the future, relatives will come to the city gate and know that your house faces east and west. Another thing is that you can receive some gift money, so that you can do the nine

The cost of the big bowl will make up for it.”

Jin Chongming thought more carefully than Mu Yi. Mu Yi only saw the difficulties in front of him, but did not think of how to better solve the difficulties in front of him. At this time, Mu Yi sincerely admired his father-in-law. Not only because

He is considerate when dealing with problems, and he is able to put himself in Mu Yi's shoes without hurting Mu Yi's face.

"The main cost of running the Nine Bowls is pork. When the time comes, we will slaughter a pig here and give it to you. In addition, you don't have to buy rice and eggs. Relatives have brought a lot of them as 'gifts'. When the time comes,

I’ll deliver it to you all together.”

"Do you need help in advance for the 'Full Moon Wine'?"

Mu Yi was afraid that he would not be able to win by then.

"There is no need to help in advance. Early in the morning, you will light the stove, pick up a pot of water, cook a pot of rice, and bring some knife heads, fruits, scented wax paper, money, etc. Your mother-in-law knows what she is doing. Let's hold the moving ceremony first. Move over.

Then wait for them to play in the house. I also slaughtered the pigs here early. After you are done, find a car and come up with your mother. You drag the pork and rice down first. Your mother gives some away.

After the relatives and friends are organized, we will drive down. In addition, you have to invite your uncle, third uncle, and uncle. They will come to help with the cooking and make them ready to eat. When your mother and the others come down, they will make glutinous rice balls.

, rubbing red eggs. As for how many tables to prepare, I will almost know it by then. Calculate how many tables to prepare, so that your colleagues and friends will hear about it and come to collect gifts, so that you can have something to entertain others. Even if there is some left,

There’s no need to be afraid. The weather is getting cold now. It’s good for you to save some for food after finishing your errands. Don’t be afraid if you prepare more, and there won’t be any waste.”

With the strong support of his father-in-law, Mu Yi's frown finally eased.

Before going out, Mu Yi looked at the chicken coop. Zhang Xuefen ran over quickly, opened the chicken coop, grabbed two fat and big hens and let Mu Yi take them down.

"Mom, just take one. It will take several days to eat one. I took the other one, and I don't have time to feed it. It will be broken in a few days. It's better to leave it here and feed it.
