Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Xia Zixuan came to Aunt Wang's yard alone and shouted, "Aunt, are you home?"

"Hey, I'm home! It's Xuan! How come you have time to come to my house today? Come in and sit for a while."

Wang took her and walked into the yard.

She said quickly, "Aunt, I won't go in. I just came to tell you that you don't have to make lunch today. Let's all go to my house to eat. I'll go call the village chief and the others later. You guys have been helping me before. I thought today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's have a meal together to liven things up."

"Alas, you are such a child. We are not helping you for anything. We are all from the same village, and it is only natural for us to help each other. Don't think too much."

"Well, I know, auntie. Let's just get together and have a meal. Okay, auntie, it's settled. I'll go to the village chief's house first." After saying that, he ran away without giving Wang a chance to speak.

"Hey, why are you running, girl? Slow down!" Wang said as she looked at Xia Zixuan who was running away.

Xia Zixuan went all the way to the village chief's house and invited the village chief's family...

When I got home, I saw Aunt Wang and Little Wang helping.

"Aunt and sister-in-law are here, why don't they rest outside? The food will be ready later."

"It's so tiring to come here from our house. Your sister-in-law and I can help and it will be done faster."

"Thank you for your hard work, aunt and sister-in-law. By the way, where are my uncle and Xiaobao?"

"Your uncle and the others have something to do and will be here soon."

"Okay, I'll ask them to set the table, and when they're all here, we can have dinner."

Four tables were prepared for today's meal, and there were more than a dozen dishes on each table.

Boiled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken with potatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, spicy cabbage, etc.

The food was served on the table one by one, and everyone was asked to sit down, with men at one table and women with children at another.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Xia Zixuan said, "Le An, Le Han, go get some wine. One jar for the village chief's table and one for your side."

Then he said, "Jinghe, Yinglu, both of you go get some juice, let's drink some."

Feng stopped them and said, "Xuan girl! Don't give them this wine! Don't drink too much. There are not enough dishes for them to eat!"

"It's okay, Grandma Feng. Today's wine is in small jars. You won't get drunk."

The village chief also whispered back, "That's right, your wife is just talking nonsense. How can she get drunk with such a small amount of wine?"

Feng glared at the village chief. "Oh! You can't get drunk. Who was it that asked for wine from Miss Xuan last time? She agreed to it, but what happened? Who got drunk?"

Feng got angry when she talked about this. She was not angry that Xia Zixuan gave the old man wine, but that the old man did not keep his word. He was so old, but he still couldn't control his mouth.

The village chief glanced at Xia Zixuan guiltily and whispered, "Xuan girl! Don't believe what your grandmother Feng said. That was what your uncle Changxing drank. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Changxing was shocked to see his father lying in front of him. He shouted, "Dad is not..."

Before he could finish his words, his father glared at him and he instantly dared not speak.

"You are such an old man." Feng pointed at her.

Hu Zi and Xiao Bao said: "Grandpa (the village chief's great grandfather) is arguing with (great) grandma."

Aunt Wang patted Xiaobao and said, wanting to laugh but not daring to, "What are you talking about, kid!"

Xia Zixuan looked at the two old men bickering, patted Feng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Grandma Feng, let's not be angry! The village chief didn't keep his promise, I won't give him wine next time. Let's eat first, don't wait until all these delicious meals get cold and become unpalatable."

As she spoke, she winked at the village chief, signaling him to stop talking.

Feng looked at the village chief and snorted, "I'm not the same as that old man!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two old people stopped arguing. In fact, old people are quite easy to coax. As long as nothing is too outrageous, just go along with them in everything.

It is said that old people are like old children, and the older they are, the more childish they are. This is absolutely true, and having an old person in the family is like having a treasure!

Xia Zixuan first put a piece of pork ribs into Feng's bowl with her chopsticks, and called everyone, "Come, everyone, try today's meal and see if it's delicious and if it suits your appetite."

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "How can it not suit our taste? We have never seen such a sumptuous meal even during the Chinese New Year! Miss Xuan is really amazing."

"Yes! You should try this boiled fish. It is so tender and tasty." Wang picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and said.
