Chapter 447 Holding a Child
The locals knew this, and when they saw that only a few of the people came with food, they couldn't help but smack their lips and whispered, "Look at these families, every family has money, and everyone brings money, food, meat, etc., but only three or two people come."
"Didn't I tell you that they encountered a miracle on their way north? They got help from God. It really doesn't make sense. Why can't I have such a miracle?"
The local villagers are whispering.
The old village head and his group began to reminisce about the past, talking about what they had seen and heard after they separated, and when they talked about the emotional parts, the old village head even wiped away tears.
The old man also came with Zhou Su and others. When they saw such old acquaintances, they were very happy and the group of old guys talked non-stop.
Zhou Guo held the dog in his arms to show the visitor, and chatted naturally, "Ah, haha, yes, I came to help Uncle Fugui and Aunt Fugui, I'm very strong... yes, I'm not very good at holding it, it's too small, I didn't dare to touch it at the beginning... ah, her name? She...she, her father named her Gougou, ah? Pretty good, huh? Yes, yes... sounds good, haha, it's pretty good..."
For most of the day, except for feeding and changing diapers, the little guy was in her arms most of the time. Even if others took him away for a while out of curiosity, they would give him back to her after a while.
When she first held this skinny and fragile little person, she really didn't dare to hold him, with her arms stretched straight out. But after holding him for a while, she became more and more skilled and could even turn the person's head around in mid-air as if she were holding a rag doll.
At this time, the baby would eat and sleep, and even if he opened his eyes, it would only be for a short while. She felt comfortable holding him.
When everyone saw this, they laughed and said, "You should learn how to hold the baby now. When your eldest brother marries his younger sister-in-law soon, you will help hold your nephew."
Zhou Guo chuckled. In fact, it was quite fun to just hold it like this. It was soft and sticky, with a milky fragrance, and it would make "oh" sounds from time to time. It was much better than a rag doll.
Lao Lizheng and his group were not in a hurry to go back after their meal. It was not easy for them to get a chance to get together, so they wanted to have a good chat no matter what. Anyway, there was nothing wrong in the fields now.
I heard that except for Wang Fugui and the Qian family, all other families have built new houses, and they all clamor to go and see them, especially Zhou Guo's family. I heard that it has a big courtyard and is the most imposing house in the entire village. It can be compared with Zheng Xiucai's house in the village. They are determined to go and see it.
The meal starts at noon.
The table was already full and the dishes were served one after another.
There were fish stewed with tofu, chicken stewed with pine mushrooms, and stewed meat. There were pieces of pork belly, and there were indeed some pine mushrooms in them, but not much. There were also stir-fried offal, stir-fried meat slices, stir-fried melon, and stewed soup. There were a total of eight dishes. Although there were not many dishes, the quantity was large, and most of them were meat.
The guests were amazed when they saw the feast. It was a banquet for a newborn baby, a girl at that. But they didn't expect it to be so grand, with so much meat. They didn't even eat such good food during the Chinese New Year. How much money would it cost? Could they get back the gift money?
But then they remembered that Wang Fugui himself was a butcher and naturally had no shortage of meat, and it must be much cheaper than if they bought it. As a result, everyone started eating without any worries, eating with big mouthfuls until their mouths were full of oil.
If you want to eat so many delicious foods under normal circumstances, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year. Even during the festival, there is only meat at most. There is no fish, meat, or chicken.
But among so many meat dishes, everyone particularly liked the stewed meat, which contained some unknown fungi. No one knew what it was. It didn’t look like pine mushrooms or goat mushrooms, but it tasted delicious. They had never eaten goat mushrooms, but they imagined that this was how delicious it must be.
Everyone was talking about it, "What kind of fungus is this? Why does it taste so good?"
"Hmm, I always feel that this smell is somewhat familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere before, very familiar!"
Wang Fugui walked around the table, asking everyone to eat and have fun.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Fugui, what kind of fungus did you put in this piece of meat? I don't recognize it. Where did you buy it from?"
After hearing this, guests from ten tables couldn't help but look over, wanting to know what this fungus was.
Wang Fugui looked at Zhou Guo who was holding the baby and said with a smile, "This is the wild mushroom we picked from the mountains, called pine mushroom. I went there with Zhou Guo a few days ago, and we only picked up a basket or so in a few days. They are all in here. If you like to eat them, you can go back to the mountains to pick them. But there are not many, and it is not easy to find them."
When everyone heard that they were picked up in the mountains, they all said they would go to the mountains tomorrow. If they picked up a lot, they could take them to the county town to sell them.
Zhou Guo could only watch the delicious food on the tables while holding the child and swallow her saliva. She watched everyone eat one round, then two rounds. The little one in her arms slept soundly, occasionally raising his eyelids to look at her, and then fell asleep peacefully again.
Fortunately, Wang Fugui came to take over soon and took her to the kitchen to eat.
She went to the kitchen and saw eight large bowls on the stove. All the dishes on the table were there, and they were full of the best.
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "These are all prepared for you alone, eat as much as you want."
He pointed to another small wooden barrel and whispered, "This is all rice, cooked for you alone. You can eat here. I will take the child to her mother first."
After saying that, she left, and she was the only one left in the kitchen.
Zhou Guo opened the lid of the wooden barrel and saw a barrel of white rice inside. She felt flattered. Everyone at the table was eating steamed buns, but only white rice was prepared for her, and so much of it!
She found a large bowl for serving food, scooped a bowl of rice, and started to eat the delicious food. She helped hold the baby for the whole morning and walked around in the crowd. Holding a baby was really a tiring job, more tiring than working, and she was already hungry.
She occupied the kitchen alone, no one came to disturb her, and she didn't have to worry about other people's eyes. She ate half a bucket of rice and there was still some left, and there were still quite a few dishes left.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief. She never liked eating out because it didn't fill her up. Today was the most satisfying meal she had ever had. It was not in vain to work on this for the whole morning.
Wang Fugui came in after finishing his meal and said with a smile on his face, "How is it, are you full?"
Zhou Guo said, "I'm full, Uncle Fugui. You asked me to hold your baby for the whole morning and prepared so much food for me. Aren't you losing out?"
Wang Fugui said with a smile: "How can it be counted like this? I asked you to come to my house to help, so shouldn't I let you eat your fill? I know you like to eat rice, so I steamed it specially for you. Since you have done the work, you should eat well. I will give you enough rice and meat!"
He said it very generously, and handed over a red envelope, "This is for you."
Zhou Guo was stunned and waved his hand, "No, no, I didn't do anything."
Wang Fugui stuffed it into her hand without further ado, "Here, everyone who came to help today will get a red envelope. You helped so much, so of course you'll leave too."
When Zhou Guo heard that they had everything, he took them and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Fugui."
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "No thanks, you must be tired after holding the dog for a whole day."
