Chapter 72 72. In the Engagement Banquet
After Xiang Yijing washed the drawer and brought it into the kitchen, Lin Qingxi had already brought out three clean white cloths from the storeroom. She spread the white cloths in the drawer, and then put Xu Lin's steamed buns on the white cloths.

"Yijing, help your sister-in-law, first fill the three-layer cage with steamed buns and steam them," Lin Qingxi said, ready to ask Xiang Yikang to visit the old Zhou's house and ask Jin Dahua to bring his two daughters-in-law over to help , and saw Zhou Jinshi walking towards the kitchen with Jin Dahua, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Girl Xi, look at what work you haven't done yet. Let your eldest sister-in-law and your two sister-in-laws help you. Your sister-in-law has to come to the main room to entertain guests. Later, the Zhou family will come to the house," Zhou Jin said. The voice arrived before the family arrived. Hearing her words, Xu Lin quickly put down her work, washed her hands with water, and went to the main room.

"Just in time, my sister-in-law and sisters-in-law came in time, and the steamed buns haven't been steamed yet, so you can help me make steamed buns and ask my uncle and second uncle to set up a temporary stove in the yard. Big sister-in-law, please go to the second sister-in-law's house to help me Bring over Erjinzi's steamed rice tent, I'll use this to warm steamed steamed buns, and there will be steamed fish in the cage later," Lin Qingxi said while rubbing the steamed buns with her hands, busy non-stop.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Jin Dahua was not polite, and just as soon as she answered, she immediately turned her head to do what Lin Qingxi ordered.

With the help of Sun Yumei and Zhang Cuilan, Lin Qingxi and the others quickly filled the three cages with steamed buns, and Lin Qingxi steamed them directly in the back pot. She specially asked Xiang Yikang to put some firewood in it.

"Two sisters-in-law, please go to the private plot in the backyard to pick some peppers and scallions and come back. I will use them for cooking later. After a while, you can go to the main room to rest! It is enough to have your two sister-in-laws here to help. "Lin Qingxi looked at Xiang Yijing, who was busy and sweating profusely, and still felt a little distressed.

"Okay, let's go now," Sun Yumei readily agreed. She was very grateful to Lin Qingxi for giving her herbal medicine to everyone, and even more grateful to her for finding a job for her family.

Lin Qingxi lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the radish bone soup. It was almost stewed. She quickly threw the chopped sauerkraut into the pot, then put two handfuls of unsoaked vermicelli into the pot, covered the pot and stewed. In a few minutes, she took out the pot and put it in a wooden barrel on the ground, and covered it with a wooden cover.

Lin Qingxi cleaned the pot and started to stir-fry the air-dried chicken. Just as she was throwing potatoes into the pot to stew with the chicken, Sun Yumei and the others came back, and the two of them washed and chopped the vegetables. Just make a stove to help light the fire.

In the yard, Zhou Guijiang and Zhou Guihe built a temporary stove with stones and yellow mud, and then turned on the fire to make sure that the stove would not collapse. Zhou Guijiang put the big iron pot brought by himself on it, and handed over the rest I gave it to Jin Dahua, and I took Zhou Guihe to the main room.

"Girl Xi, the temporary stove in the yard has also been set up. I brought over the iron pot at home. What are you going to do next? My concubine will help you." Jin Dahua watched the raging fire in the temporary stove, and for a while I didn't pay attention, so I could only add some cold water to the pot and go to the kitchen.

"Eldest sister-in-law, please help me clean the tent I brought over from the second sister-in-law's house. I'll put these steamed buns in the tent to steam. I'm going to use a steamer to steam fish next." Lin Qingxi was busy with the work in hand, He said without raising his head.

"Okay, my sister-in-law will take care of it for you right away," Jin Dahua said with a smile on her face.

Lin Qingxi didn't care about her anymore, and continued to do what she was doing. The stewed chicken with potatoes was ready. She put the vegetables in the wooden barrel, cleaned the pot, and poured the fish sauce on the fish. On the body, the rabbit has been dried, first stir-fry it with high heat, and then boil it with some water.

While cooking, Jin Dahua happened to move the steamed buns in the cage to the tent in the yard to continue steaming. Although the steamed buns were already cooked, it was cold. Put it on the fire and keep warm.

After the drawer was emptied, Lin Qingxi steamed the fish drenched in sauce in the drawer. Of the eight fish, only six were steamed, and the remaining two fish were left untouched in the cabinet.

These six fish occupy two layers of cage drawers, steamed a dozen or twenty and steamed buns in the vacant space, and put all the steamed buns in the third layer of cage drawers, and steamed the cage drawers in the back pot. The rabbit meat was also cooked. Lin Qingxi hurriedly put half a pot of chopped peppers into the pot, added some salt and soy sauce and stir-fried for a few minutes. into the barrel.

Lin Qingxi cleaned the pot, added half a pot of cold water to the pot, put bamboo slices on it, rubbed out the remaining steamed buns and steamed them on the bamboo slices, leaving Sun Yumei to watch the fire, and told her to wait for the steamed buns in the pot to come out Then the cabbage could be fried, and she was called to the main room by Xu Lin.

In the main room, while Lin Qingxi was stewing the bones, the Zhou family brought their elders to the door to present the engagement gift. The gifts were not considered rich, including two fish, two big geese, a watch, and a bicycle. As well as two pairs of leather shoes, a woolen coat, and the rest are scattered things. The most important thing is that the Zhou family gave 68 yuan as an engagement gift, which is very considerate.

The Zhou family took out the things one by one and put them on the kang in the main room. Lin Qingping didn't make things difficult for Zhou Mingming and the Zhou family. They faced the Zhou family with a smile on their faces, and with the old Zhou family as companions, the atmosphere was still very harmonious. of.

The relatives from the Lin family are from the old Zhou family, the relatives from the Zhou family are Zhou Guitang's family and the Sun family, and then several elders from the Zhou family. Everyone more or less brought something to the door.

After everyone was almost ready, Zhou Daye asked Xu Lin to go to the kitchen and called Lin Qingxi over. In the presence of Lin Qingxi and Zhou Mingming, Zhou Daye decided to book their marriage. The witnesses were relatives of the two families.

Lin Qingping asked Lin Qingxi to take the things given by the Zhou family to her house, and the bicycle was parked in the yard.

At the same time, Lin Qingxi also took out the things she had prepared for Zhou Mingming, which were a sweater and woolen trousers, four large cotton underpants and socks, and made a cotton coat for Aunt Sun and Zhou Guilin. Mingmin and the three younger ones also did it, but it was not suitable to take it out, so as not to be too conspicuous.

"Okay, you two need to support each other in the future, understand boy, my girl Xi will be taken care of by you in the future, the specific date of marriage depends on when you come back next time, after you make a report, you will come back when you have a holiday Just get married."

As the elder with the highest seniority, Zhou Daye directly spoke to sum up their marriage. No one else had any objections. The main reason was that what Zhou Daye said was right. The date of the marriage of the protagonists would depend on when Zhou Ming would have a holiday.

"Understood, grandpa, I will report when I get back," Zhou Mingming smiled like a fool, which made everyone laugh.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's serve dinner!" Zhou Jinshi glanced at Zhou Mingming angrily, then turned to look at Lin Qingping and said, he is the head of the family, so naturally he has to arrange the dinner.
