On the day of Tian Shao's engagement, his aunt and sister-in-law Li came over early to help. As for uncle Li, he and Li Erkui were busy cooking pig heads and tails and could not come over until they were finished.
After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Tian Erlin and Mr. and Mrs. Tian Sanlin also came over to help. Tian Shao saw that Tian Dalin and Li Guihua did not chase people away. Although he didn’t hate Tian Erlin very much, he didn’t care. Although the two families had conflicts, the elders chose to forgive them.
As a junior, she would not interfere. Li Chunhua and his wife were the last to arrive because they were far away.
At around eight o'clock, Uncle Li came over with his wife, Second Uncle Li.
When Tian Shao saw the couple, her face sank, but it was not good to argue on such a festive day as the engagement. She said nothing and turned back to the house.
After a while, my aunt came over and said, "Da Ya, it wasn't your uncle who brought them here. It was them who knew you didn't want to see you and were afraid of being driven away, so they deliberately followed your uncle here."
Tian Shao knew what the two people were planning and said: "It's okay, just come if you want. Just don't show up in front of me and Pei Yue."
"I will keep an eye on them later and not allow them to get close to Comrade Pei and his future aunt-in-law."
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Auntie, I heard Liu Ya say that they always come to your house? Is it because of the recipe?"
The eldest aunt nodded and said: "Yes, she said that the recipe was left by the old man, and our family cannot monopolize it. The old man asked him to learn it, but he didn't want to learn it himself. Now that we are making money, he is shameless and says that the recipe is from our ancestors. He also has a share in it.
.”
"What did uncle say?"
The eldest aunt sighed and said: "Your uncle is not willing to give it, but your grandma is not in good health now. She will definitely not be able to bear it if she has a falling out with the second son's family. But the family is also short of money now, so your uncle
I made an agreement with him to teach Shi Sheng in three years. They were afraid that your uncle would fall out, so they agreed."
"Will uncle really teach you in three years?"
The eldest aunt said helplessly: "What is your uncle's temperament? Do you still know? He has always been very talkative, and he promised to teach me when the time comes. Forget it, for the sake of your grandma, just teach him!"
Grandma Li has treated her eldest aunt like a daughter all these years and has never said a few serious words to her. The same is true. Even though she has always been partial to the second child and the couple in recent years, her eldest aunt has never had any resentment.
Tian Shao said: "It's just a recipe for pork head meat. It doesn't matter if you give it to them. But don't teach them the recipe you developed yourself. If you teach them, they won't be grateful."
Bad bamboo can produce good bamboo shoots, and this is true. For example, Tian Dali, the eldest son of Tian Erlin's family, would help out when he saw the children in the village bullying Sanya and the others, which was relatively good. But Uncle Li's three sons,
When I was young, I always felt that my sisters would steal their food and treat them badly.
The eldest aunt said: "Your uncle said the same thing."
After talking about her own affairs, the eldest aunt asked: "Xiao Shao, your mother said that Xiao Pei's uncle and aunt are senior cadres. I asked her what unit she was in, but she didn't know."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Uncle is mainly responsible for catching bad elements who sneak in from the outside, and aunt is in charge of film and television culture. For example, the movies we watch can only be shown after the approval of her work unit."
This unit is not very popular now, but it has become popular after more than ten years.
My eldest aunt said secretly, she is really a big cadre.
At around ten o'clock, Pei Yue accompanied Luo Yamei and the two of them. This time, Pei Yue put on a short-sleeved military uniform and looked very handsome. Tian Shao was wearing a red dress today and put on light makeup.
When Luo Yamei saw Tian Shao, she held her hand and praised her: "She's so beautiful. She's so cheap to Pei Yue."
Tian Shao showed a shy smile.
After a while, the second uncle came over supported by his son. What Tian Shao didn't expect was that the second uncle came to Luo Yamei this time. After saying hello, he said to Luo Yamei: "Leader, we
The commune had electricity the year before last, and the commune was only four miles away from our village. There was no electricity supply. I went to the commune and complained to the county many times, but no one took care of it. Comrade Luo, I also hope you can help us contact the county.
If the village leaders tell us, they can provide electricity to our village."
The room suddenly fell silent.
Luo Yamei was a little surprised, but she was very well-educated and asked softly: "Old man, there is no electricity in the village. Is there any difficulty in the commune?"
The second uncle said: "Both the county leaders and the commune said they have no money and cannot provide electricity to the village."
Li Guihua was so angry that Da Ya's engagement party was so embarrassing that her in-laws would miss them.
Although Tian Shao felt that his second uncle's behavior was inappropriate, he was not angry. His second uncle was just such a person. He always hoped that his tribe and villagers would live well. Moreover, it would be more convenient for her home to have electricity and lights.
If we want to electrify, we must not only electrify Tianjia Village, but also include the surrounding villages. The cost of such a large project is very high, and the county finance cannot afford it for the time being. Luo Yamei thinks that we should understand.
The second uncle said angrily: "If the county and the commune really have no money and can't provide electricity, I won't say anything. But I heard that originally this year, electricity was provided to our area, but in the end, I don't know why it was changed to
The commune president’s hometown. The commune president’s home is more than seven miles away from the commune, and the road is still bumpy. It’s not like our flat road where it’s more convenient to plant telephone poles.”
Why else could the president of the commune use his power to benefit his hometown first?
Tian Shao was a little surprised, no one had told her about this.
Luo Yamei frowned. If this is the case, the president is using his power for personal gain: "Old man, if this is true, I will ask the leaders of your county to give you and the villagers of Tianjia Village an explanation."
The second uncle was very happy: "With your words from the leader, I feel relieved."
Tian Dalin was afraid that he would say something shocking again that would embarrass Luo Yamei, so he immediately invited him to the table.
This time's engagement banquet consisted of eight dishes and one soup, just like Erya's day, but the dishes were more sumptuous. There were several big dishes, such as braised pork with pickled vegetables, braised pork trotters cooked by Uncle Li, pickled fish, and fried pork with fungus.
The home-cooked dishes are all cooked by my aunt, and they are all delicious.
People in Jiang Province can't eat without chili peppers, but Luo Yamei has a bland taste and can't be eaten spicy. So Tian Shao specially asked his aunt to cook a few extra dishes.
Not long after lunch, Luo Yamei went back. Before leaving, she gave Tian Shao a red envelope. She smiled and said, "This is a little thought from your uncle and I."
Tian Shao shied away: "Aunt, I can't have it."
"If you think the red envelope we gave you is too small, then I will take it back."
In terms of net worth, their family's combined property is not as much as Tian Shao's monthly manuscript fee. Fortunately, Pei Yue settled with Tian Shao early, otherwise he would never get this silly boy.
After hearing this, Tian Shao could only accept the red envelope.
Luo Yamei patted Tian Shao's hand and said, "When you return to Sijiu City, you and Pei Yue will have a meal at home."
