The news of Li Hui's return was known to everyone in the village during Jiang Jianye's "unintentional" chat.
The Li family has not received any letters in recent days, so rumors about "safety" have begun to spread on a small scale. Jiang Jianye seized this opportunity to make the rumors self-defeating.
The farthest place for most people in the village is Shushan Town. Occasionally, some go to Pingyang County, but they are all in the minority. Those like Li Hui who have been to the south are really unique to Scorpion Baba.
Someone from the Li clan who had good news wanted to visit and ask what they had seen along the way. But when they saw the majestic double-leaf red doors, they fully understood that the current Li family was really beyond their reach. Coupled with Li Qingchun's ruthless methods,
The clan no longer has the custom of loving others and taking advantage of others.
At dusk, the front yard of Li's house is very lively and prosperous.
After Li Hui returned home after studying for half a year, naturally the richer the first meal, the better. Yu Niang used her special skills and set up four tables with ten dishes on each table, which meant perfection and reunion.
Mr. Pang was enthroned as the chief, with Li Hui and Yu Zhao on the left and right, followed by Guo Dake, Dong Cheng, Jiang Jianye, etc. The female family members were accompanied by Cheng Xue and Wang, and the children's table was headed by Li Heng.
, with bolts, rollers, pillars, rollers, etc.
The liveliness is comparable to the Chinese New Year. As the head of the family, Li Hui is not busy with major events such as building a house or moving. The first person to thank is his wife. Then there are Jiang Jianye, Dong Cheng and others.
Xu smiled with an ambiguous look on her face, lightly touched Cheng Xue with her elbow, and said in a low voice:
"Not bad, Xiaoni. Seeing how much Huizi has praised you, I just need to make a plan to get you."
Normally, Cheng Xue would have retorted, but today she was extremely shy and covered her face with her tea cup. For some reason, she didn't dare to look at him after they confirmed their relationship. Even a brief look at each other made her feel uncomfortable.
Caught off guard.
Seeing that she didn't refute, Mrs. Xu was puzzled and said:
"What's wrong, why are you so shy? Could it be that Huizi came back in the afternoon and directly..."
"Oh, please shut up. Pay attention to the child in your belly and don't say anything outside." Cheng Xue couldn't listen and quickly put a piece of fish belly in her bowl.
Mrs. Xu disagreed, smiled and touched her belly and said:
"What are you afraid of? This is just a piece of meat and there is no reaction yet."
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a rush of crickets in my stomach, as if there was a burst of air.
Okay, now you are honest, don’t dare to say anything, just eat the fish obediently.
Dong Lisong looked at the well-rounded Li Hui and couldn't help but nodded:
"It's a good thing that you know how to appreciate your wife. To be honest, your family owes a lot to your family."
"Yes, it's not easy for Tiedan Niang." Guo Dake also nodded.
Whether it is Cheng Xue now or Yu Xue in the past, all the people in the village see the contribution they have made to the Li family, but they don't know that this person's heart has changed.
I have always thought that people are being bullied so hard that they have to resist.
Everyone was chatting while eating, and the boys' table dispersed the fastest. Shuanzi and Luozi wanted to keep company with the boys. They had eaten early and went to play on the rockery in the backyard early. The girls' table was quite elegant.
Especially under the leadership of Li Yue and Pang Yao, the children are very well-behaved.
Cheng Xue didn’t drink at this table, and went for a walk in the backyard after eating.
Far away, she heard the sound of Shuanzi "oooo...ouch...". Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly and said:
"After reading the book for so long, I have no sense of stability at all."
"Who is to blame? Shuanzi just followed you like this, just like you did when you were a child." Cheng Xue took the opportunity to joke.
I just made fun of her, now I'm taking the opportunity to "retaliate".
As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed softly along with "Haha...". Geng laughed the most, and Xu gave up the resistance immediately.
In the pavilion, Yu Niang has placed tea, milk, etc., and several small cups with lids are placed in order according to the seats.
Everyone looked at the things on the stone table by candlelight and waved their hands.
"I'm already full, where is the place to eat?"
"Yes, put it away quickly and keep it for the next time you have guests at home." Mr. Geng also hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Yu Niang carefully helped Mrs. Xu sit down, opened the lid of the cup, and said:
"This is a bird's nest steamed egg specially ordered by our wife. It is good for the children to eat it while pregnant."
Although the peasant woman had no chance to eat bird's nest, she was familiar with the name. Mrs. Xu was about to refuse when she heard it, but was held down by Cheng Xue.
"It's rare that I'm free today. The table won't be cleared for a while. Let's sit down together and eat some snacks. These things don't occupy your stomach, so you can play with them."
Take the bird's nest and put it in your teeth?
Yang twitched the corner of her mouth twice and swallowed the words again. She knew that she sincerely invited them to eat, otherwise it would be fine if they didn't take it out.
Everyone did not refuse, they opened the lids of the cups one after another and took a sip.
I also added goat milk as last time, and the milk flavor is very strong.
Mrs. Xu has passed the stage of being a mouth-stinger, and it’s time to eat the delicious food. After finishing half of it in twos and twos, Mrs. Geng exchanged the untouched bird’s nest with her daughter, and then ate it with a spoon.
Mother and daughter have such a deep love that anyone who sees it will envy them.
As the saying goes: It's good to have a family and a mother when you are 100 years old. The Xu family did not marry far away, so it would be a lie to say that she is not jealous.
Xu happily ate up the bird's nest steamed eggs in the bowl, rubbed Cheng Xue's arm affectionately, and said:
"I used to hear people say that bird's nest has a fishy smell and is not delicious. Now I tasted it and realized that it is not the case at all. It is delicious."
Guo Yang nodded after hearing this and said:
"Yes, that's why the old saying is that seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times. Tasting it once is worse than hearing it a hundred times."
"Yes, yes, you have to taste it before you can speak with confidence." Mrs. Zhang agreed.
A cup of bird's nest steamed eggs sparked a conversation among several women, gossiping about recent events in the village. Most of them were told by Mrs. Xu, because the others were in the workshop and could not hear much.
Since she became pregnant, she has not gone to the forest farm to cook. Every day when she has nothing to do, she goes to sit under the willow tree at the end of the village. Today his little daughter-in-law is crying, and tomorrow his sisters-in-law are making trouble...
Mrs. Xu was talking enthusiastically, while Mrs. Guo Yang gently tugged on Cheng Xue's sleeve and whispered:
"Sister, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I still want to mention it to you."
"What's up, sister-in-law, have you encountered any difficulties at home? Don't be in a hurry to pay me back the bricks, I'm not short of them here."
Seeing her attitude like this, Ms. Yang was heartbroken.
"There's nothing going on at home. It's my kid who doesn't want to study anymore. He says he's too old to be a scholar no matter how much he studies. It's better to come down and work early to make money and supplement the family income."
Basically, the eldest son of each family in Wanghe Village, regardless of gender, is equivalent to half a father and mother. He always thinks about the family and thinks about the family.
Nianzi is 16 years old this year and is a well-known youngster in the village. This fame does not refer to studying, but to working. It is said that he has no effort at all. He has been in school for more than two years, and his literacy must be no problem. But he wants to find a lighter job.
