Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

The day before the wedding banquet, Chef Zhang came over with his two apprentices.Some dishes take time, and if you don't pack them today, you won't be able to make it tomorrow.

Zhang's family also followed suit. They couldn't do anything else, but they could still do things like washing vegetables and cutting meat.If it doesn't work, you can put the melon seeds on the plate first, and put them directly on the plate tomorrow.

They have a set of plates and chopsticks prepared in the village, and they will use them when the whole village has a big festival.It’s okay for someone to use it for banquets, but you have to return a good one. If you accidentally drop it, you have to pick one out of your own bowl and put it back.Now, the design and color of those bowls are not the same as when I first bought them.

The country people don't pay much attention to this, as long as there is something that can hold things, when everyone didn't pool money to buy it, they didn't have to borrow from each household, and it was even more different back then.

Tables and stools were also prepared in the village, but it seemed that there were not enough, so they found acquaintances to borrow a few sets, and then they would just give some money.

It is reasonable to say that everyone is from Shuitou Village, and it is okay to walk over if you are close, but Zhang Shu is unwilling. Even if he doesn't have a tall horse or a red sedan chair, at least he has to prepare an ox cart.Naturally, the ox cart was borrowed from the village chief's family, but Zhang Shu had already decided that he had to look for it carefully during this time, and he must buy a cow before the spring.

Most of the relatives have been notified, Zhang Shu's grandmother's two elders have passed away, and he has three uncles and two aunts alive.It's just that there are two counties in the middle, and you can't get there for two or three days by driving, unless you have a bullock cart at home.

Zhang Shu asked the merchant to notify him a month ago, and he doesn't know if they have received the letter or if they will come after receiving the letter.

His second uncle and aunt's house is not far away, so he went there in person.Both sides are faint, and he doesn't care, anyway, this is for the villagers to see, and he doesn't have any expectations in his heart, he already knew who they were in his previous life.

Zhang Huai is older and can control his emotions towards Zhang Shu, but Zhang Rong, seeing his unconcealable resentment, seems to have pushed all the sins of his family's falling into such a field on Zhang Shu.

This is the first time Zhang Shu has seen Zhang Yang since his rebirth.Tall, thin and long, he had a shy smile on his face.The entire Zhang family is just like Grandpa Zhang.

He was not very quiet when he was a child, but he was better than Zhang Shu. After going back and forth, he finally fell in love with a carpenter in his natal village. After growing up a little, he became an apprentice. Now it is only the second year.

During the three years as an apprentice, there was no salary, but the master took care of food and housing and taught you crafts, so it was worth it.So he usually doesn't go home when he has nothing to do, even if he is not too far away from his natal family, he doesn't know how to go there.

This time his master's daughter was pregnant, and the two elders went to the county to take care of her for a while, so they let him go home first.

Zhang Shu also had a rare smile, "A Yang, are you coming home?"

"Yes, big brother, congratulations, you are getting married."

"It will be your turn in a few years." Zhang Shu remembered that he married the youngest daughter of the carpenter's family, and then the whole family moved to the house of the eldest daughter of the carpenter. Not too close.But at least he didn't bully Zhang Shu even once, and Zhang Shu didn't hesitate to give him a smiling face just because of this Zhang Shu.

The two were chatting well outside the door, Zhang Rong suddenly ran over and scolded, "Who is your big brother? Big brother is sitting in the room! Did you play with wood every day and the man turned into a wood!" She scolded Zhang Yang, The corner of the eye is slanting Zhang Shu.

Zhang Yang frowned, "Rongrong, don't talk nonsense!"

"Who's talking nonsense! Cats cry and rats pretend to be merciful. My mother was so sick last time, she was kicked out when she said she was kicked out. Now I don't know who to show it to when I come to the door. Who is so lucky to drink Laoshizi wine!"

Zhang Shu lowered his face, "I informed you, it's up to you whether you go or not. A Yang, brother will leave first, and I will notify others." He turned and left without looking at Zhang Rong.

Zhang Yang looked at this younger sister and felt uncomfortable. He had heard other people say that it was indeed his parents who didn't care.In the past, they were kind to Zhang Shu in front of outsiders, but they never concealed their contempt for Zhang Shu in the house. Although he was young, he listened.Now that he hasn't been home for a long time, even this younger sister can ride on his head and scold him.

Zhang Rong still cursed at Zhang Shu's back with an unconvinced face, not caring at all whether Zhang Yang couldn't stand her.

Zhang Shu didn't have any pimples in his heart, he would only be sad if he cared. They are a little worse than strangers in his eyes now, and it's not worth being sad for their words.

……

The sound of "cracking" resounded throughout the village, and the happy children gathered around to watch.

Both families belong to the village, and the Li family is the one who married, which is the banquet at noon.Zhang's family is the married party, which is the banquet at night.

Early in the morning, Zhang Shu consciously went to the kitchen to wash his hair, took a shower, changed into a bright red wedding dress, and after drying his hair with a cloth towel, his grandma came in to help him comb his hair.

This is the first time Zhang Shu let others comb his hair after growing up. It feels like returning to his childhood, but he has grown up, but his milk is old.

The withered hand held the wooden comb and combed it for him. Zhang Shu saw from the bronze mirror that his mother seemed to be crying.

"Grandma, today is a day of great joy. Why are you crying? My grandson is marrying her husband today. Let's honor your two elders together!"

Grandma Zhang quickly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve, "Grandma is so happy! Our Shu has grown up and married a husband, and we will have another baby in the family soon. Grandma will help you comb your hair handsomely. I'm so fascinated by your little Jin'er."

Zhang Shu followed with a smile, and let his grandma pull up his hair, and then put a hairpin on it.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhang Shu put on his clothes and tied up his hair in a spirited way. He looks more than a little handsome. In the eyes of the villagers, he and the little Jin'er of the Li family are considered a natural match.

The ox cart is already outside, and a big red flower is tied on the horns on both sides, and these two big flowers are strung on a red cloth in the middle, which symbolizes that the couple will always be tightly entangled together.

The brothers he called to pick up the bride also put on the best clothes, and stood there waiting for him in a heroic manner.

This time, the people who were called were all unmarried people. You must know that the most likely to see the wrong things happen at the wedding banquet. Under the sweet and warm atmosphere, most people looked much more pleasing to the eye.

So in the eyes of these people, this errand is a good one, and even if they don't find a suitable girl or brother, Zhang Shu can still make a lot of money!

The auspicious time is coming soon, Zhang Shu and others got into the ox cart and went to pick up the bride in a big way.Although there is no trumpet and suona, the firecrackers dropped from time to time still stir up the atmosphere.

Children followed them all the way, some older children tried to pick up some "squibs" to go back to play, and younger children stared at the wedding candy in their car.Although they had dispersed a little before, they still couldn't stop the children's eyes from looking at the car.

Along the way, folks congratulated Zhang Shu, and Zhang Shu grinned, saying thank you all the way.

After finally arriving at the gate of the Li family, a bunch of relatives of the Li family stood outside. They held long benches and blocked the entrance of the courtyard. Saying something to go in, the bridegroom officer will give sugar first.

At this moment, no one will be stingy, and Zhang Shu is even more generous. He directly asked Yu Xiaoliu to go out with a sack in his arms, as long as the person blocking the door grabbed a handful of candies.The white hard caramel in winter is heavy in the hand, and it is sweet and sticky in the mouth.

The old man took the candy and gave it to the children. The happy children with cloth pockets on their chests squinted their eyes, unable to count and kept pawing in it.

After finally getting these relatives blocking the door to move the long bench, Zhang Shu and a group of young people were about to rush in.As a result, when they reached the door, the group stopped.

Zhang Shu's brother-in-law, Li Yan, was leaning against the door with his hands folded and staring at them.The cold expression and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth successfully made everyone stop.

The others stood by as if watching a good show, watching how the new brother-in-law would deal with his brother-in-law.

Zhang Shu arched his hands flatteringly and bent over to his brother-in-law, "Brother Li Yan, let us go in."

Li Yan's face darkened, and there was a burst of laughter beside him, "I can't get in if I call him wrong, what should you call him now?"

Zhang Shu hurriedly bowed again, "Brother, I was wrong, you are my dear brother, let us go in." Then he took out a brand new red cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yan.

Li Yan stuffed it into his arms with a flick of his hand, but he didn't give up his position, just pointed to the bow and arrow next to him.

Zhang Shu's forehead was covered with sweat, his uncle wouldn't let him go hunting in the mountains now, would he?

Fortunately, Li Yan is a measured person. He said to everyone, "My Li family has been hunting for generations. Now that you are the brother-in-law of the Li family, you have also learned from me for a few days. Now show it to everyone. You How are you learning?" Then he raised his eyebrows, and immediately someone hung a sweet potato on the big tree at the door, as long as Zhang Shu stood here and shot the sweet potato, he would be let in.

The door is about two feet away from the big tree, and the sweet potatoes are neither big nor small, which is difficult for those who have not learned.But Zhang Shu has been studying with them for so long. At such a short distance, he can't shoot anything that moves, and can't shoot something that doesn't move?

He drew the bow and shot the arrow full of confidence, and amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the shot missed... In fact, it was not his fault. When the arrow shot out, there was a gust of wind, and the sweet potato was blown crookedly, just avoiding it. arrow.

Zhang Shu looked at Li Yan with a bitter face, then Li Yan stretched out three fingers silently, and then curled one, which means he still has two chances.No matter what, Li Yan can't really let his younger brother hit his hands. If he can't get married and puts his family on the line every day, wouldn't it be him who suffers?

Zhang Shu looked happy again, this time he didn't waste the opportunity, and God didn't tease him, the arrow pierced straight through the middle of the sweet potato,

It also won applause from the people around.

Li Yan also smiled, and took a step back, indicating that they could go in.

A group of people from Zhang Shu hurriedly rushed inside, and then came to Li Mujin's door.

Happy characters and some paper-cuts are pasted outside the room, which makes people feel festive.His door was closed tightly, Zhang Shu stepped forward and knocked, and said affectionately, "Jin'er, I'm here to pick you up!"

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and the voice of others teasing Li Mujin could be vaguely heard.

Zhang Shu listened roughly, and heard four or five different voices, thinking that this is going to be difficult, and these girls and brothers are the most afraid of getting married.

"Brother, it's easy to come in, first send the happy money according to the number of people, and then let you see my brother Jin'er." It was Li Mujin's little cousin, his uncle's daughter, who was speaking.

"That's easy to say, tell me how many of you there are." Zhang Shu asked while taking out the happy money he had wrapped from his pocket.After asking the number of people, I stuffed it inside.

A group of people inside shared the Xiqian with a smile, and said, "Brother adds to the import, and Xiqian will have another share."

When Zhang Shu heard the word Tianding, he could not give it, so he stuffed another copy in.

"Cousins ​​and cousins, it's time to let me in."

"We wanted you to come in, but brother Jin'er said he didn't get the money, so he wouldn't let you in." This time it was a younger brother who spoke, and he sounded very lively.

"I didn't..." Li Mujin's voice came from inside, and she was quickly pushed back.

"Then you tell him, as long as he lets me in, I'll give him everything!" Zhang Shu heard his voice, his heart was already surging, and now he threw out the good words as if he didn't want money.

There was a burst of laughter inside, and then they began to make requests, such as singing a song for everyone to listen to, or imitating the sounds of small animals. The requests were strange and strange. Fortunately, this time, only Zhang Shu could do it alone. After the young men who picked up the bride went around one by one, everyone blushed with embarrassment, and then the group of girls and buddies inside showed mercy and let them in.

As soon as Zhang Shu entered, he saw Li Mujin sitting on the bed.Wearing a red dress, the white and clean Li Mujin.My brother usually doesn't like to wear makeup, so he put a red dot on his head and trimmed his eyebrows a little.But in Zhang Shu's eyes, this is already indescribably beautiful.

The two looked at each other with an indescribable sense of shame, but neither of them wanted to look away, they just stared blankly at each other.

"Look, our brother Jin'er is so good-looking, I can't take my eyes off him." The little ones were all teasing, but they didn't know that they were laughing into a ball together, and they were waiting for the couple to meet the bride. In the eyes of many people, it is also a landscape.

Zhang Shu sat next to Li Mujin, facing the teasing of relatives together, under the big wedding dress, two little fingers were tightly hooked together.
