When Li Yue saw Yu Wan, he quickly got up and took her to the west room.
The aunt and nephew have not seen each other for a long time, and they have a lot to say, especially Li Yue. She wants to share what her mother told her that day with her little cousin immediately.
As soon as Yu Yingjie saw Li Huai, he smiled and walked over. Although he was older than Li Huai, some people believed that Li Huai was his brother. It was not because of his size, but because of his personality. Li Huai spoke less but was eloquent, and
He has his own ideas, and Xiao Yingjie obeys his words.
"I was doing laundry at home just now, and my third brother said someone came to announce the good news. Sister-in-law, has my brother been hit?"
Seeing Wang's excited look, Cheng Xue smiled and moved inside to make some room for her.
"Seventh, the ranking is very good."
"Oh my, that means 'very good', that's pretty good. Brother, congratulations."
"Thank you." Li Hui nodded and continued to talk to Yu Huai about building the ancestral home and the cemetery.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang went to the outhouse to prepare meals.
The family got up early to rush to the village, but they definitely didn't have a good breakfast. Make soup with cucumbers and eggs, then put two drops of sesame oil on the pimples, and it will be fragrant.
Asking Li Heng and others to put the table, she put the basin on the table and said while serving it:
"Brother, sister-in-law, just take one bite at noon. Have a good sleep in the afternoon and go to my place to eat in the evening. I have bought the meat and fish. I estimate that you can come back in the next two days. They are all ready-made.
That’s good.”
Mrs. Liu was afraid that Cheng Xue would refuse, so she helped persuade and said:
"Listen to your brother's wife, let's do this for today, and then do it after you come to rest early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded with a smile and drank the pimple soup.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after I feel at home, a bowl of simple pimple soup is very delicious. Looking at a few children, they are like her, "Xili Hulu" will make a bowl and then serve it.
Yu Huai took care of several grandsons, smiling and narrowing his eyes. He handed the bowl to Li Heng and continued to discuss the repair issues with Li Hui.
This is the tradition of Liangyan. It is a major event to honor the ancestors if a person is elected in the family. It is not only necessary to widen the lintel, but also to repair the cemetery. This is the most important.
Filial piety comes first, and Liang Yan values this the most.
Some of the original tombs are moved and some are left untouched. If not, they can be expanded around, and then planted with pine, cypress, etc., which means that the pines and cypresses will be evergreen. There are other customs, and I will listen to the arrangements of my third uncle. Li Hui’s budget is
Thirty taels of silver, the upper limit can be up to fifty taels, but no more.
After hearing his plan, Yu Huai nodded slowly.
"You are doing the right thing. If you don't move the original grave, it will not destroy the earth's atmosphere. Your parents' graves are well occupied and cannot be moved easily. As you said, I will be at your house these days to help you organize it."<
/p>
"Okay." Li Hui didn't say thank you. There is no need for the family.
Liu's solution to the problem of death cannot be ignored, and the living cannot be ignored. After asking, Cheng Xue also told her own thoughts.
"My house doesn't need to be repaired. It's in good condition. I just widened the door and used two red pinewoods with red paint. This forest farm has it. We will find Brother Qinglin to make an order when the time comes. We have to save money to build the village. The village can make money, so the family
I owe three betrothal gifts and two dowries, so poor!"
Mrs. Wang was amused by her words, shook her head and said:
"Sister-in-law, if your family is poor, then our family will be even poorer. Seriously, sister-in-law, has anyone mentioned our Tangtang?"
"No, what's wrong? Let me tell you first, Tangtang, Tiantian, I plan to stay for a few more years. Tangtang is only ten years old, and there are still five years until she gets hairpins, so there is no rush."
Mrs. Liu was completely relieved after hearing this. Her nephew and daughter-in-law finally thought about it, became sensible, and grew up.
"It has to be like this. Why should our precious daughter go out early to catch up with someone else's brat? Keep her for a few more years. We will marry you when you are sixteen or seventeen, and we will go out at eighteen or nineteen."
"Isn't it a little late?" Wang was surprised by her mother-in-law's opinion and subconsciously looked at Yu Wan.
Before it was too late, Yan Yixin at the kang table lost his chopsticks when he was picking up the garlic, and it fell into the bowl, causing the soup to splash everywhere.
Li Huai has a bit of a mysophobia, but because his brother is usually very nice to him, he can only tolerate it. If it were Li Heng, he would have exploded.
No one paid attention to the little episode on the kang. Ms. Liu looked at her careless eldest daughter-in-law and smiled without saying a word. This is because she has been with her for many years and understands it. If you don't understand it, you can't misunderstand that she thinks her sister-in-law stays at home for too long.
?
Cheng Xue looked at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then at Li Heng, feeling a little sad in her heart.
I really don’t know what she will be like as a mother-in-law in ten years. No, no, no, I can’t think about it. She is still a girl and she has to keep her girlish heart.
"Mom, eat some garlic, my aunt's pickled it is really delicious."
Li Yue said as he handed it to her, which immediately made Cheng Xue's "girly heart" disappear. With such a big girl in front of her, girls and young women are all hers.
Come on, live in peace and save money is the way to go.
After lunch, Mrs. Wang and Ms. Liu cleaned up together, and went to the west room with sisters Li Yue to lie down in the evening. Cheng Xue also wanted to help, but was "driven" back to the room by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Li Hui smiled and pressed her on the kang, yawned and said:
"Go to bed quickly. Brother Dake, Brother Three, and the others will come over tonight and they will have plenty to deal with."
The Li family's side is quiet and warm, but Li Qingchun's side is anxious and frowning.
Looking at the faces of the people in front of him who were relying on their old age, he really wished that each of them would light a fire stick and let them roll as far as they could.
Why do people need to divide their rent-free share? This was the case when Li Fang was still alive?
"Dachun, you are talking, what do you mean by not talking?"
"Yes, Dachun, we are also thinking about the clan. You have a good relationship with Huizi, so it will definitely work if you say this."
"No, since Li Hui is a member of our Li clan, he should make contributions to our clan. I won't mention the past, but now..."
"Grandpa Third Uncle, why didn't you mention what Huizi did before?" Li Qingchun directly interrupted Li Youcai and asked.
The old man was confused by the question. He was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond.
The calm tone immediately silenced the ancestral hall. The remaining elders in the clan today are not the fools Li Nan was at that time. Each one is more thoughtful and calculating than the last.
Li Laosan looked at the silent crowd, cleared his throat and said:
"Even if Li Hui doesn't give one acre of his share to the clan, we can't pick others."
"Why not choose?" Li Youcai refused, "He is a member of the clan, so he has to..."
"Then you are also a member of the clan, what have you done for the clan?" Li Laosan asked.
"I..." Li Youcai's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he followed his neck and said, "I don't have the ability. As long as I have the ability..."
"If Third Uncle Grandpa had the ability, he would not do what Huizi and his wife did. People spend money to buy peace, not to buy enemies!"
"Dachun, what do you mean by this? Who is the enemy?"
