The arrival of Yu Huai's family gave Li Hui a legitimate reason to "refuse the invitation".
The departure is about to begin, there are many things to prepare, and I really don’t have the energy to socialize. What’s more, there are few contacts in the town, so we still keep a distance. As for Chen Laosi and Mrs. Wei in the village, it is like a "Hongmen Banquet". Their families were
If you send it to build roads, you won’t be able to come back in two or three years.
If you want to use his method to bring people back in advance, that will definitely not work.
When they came to the Li family, Yu Huai and his wife were very busy every day. Sometimes they would check the boxes and cages, and sometimes they would take inventory of the items. Otherwise, they would prepare some things they thought were necessary as a precaution.
It is said that one elder in a family is like having one treasure. Now there are three elders in the family. Cheng Xue joked that they are the "three treasures of the Li family".
Comparatively speaking, Mr. Pang was much more relaxed. After all, he was going to the capital with him. It was different for Yu Huai and his wife. With only such an eldest nephew, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried when he walked so far away. No matter how Li Hui,
No matter how Cheng Xue explained or persuaded, it was of no use.
In the blink of an eye, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at dawn, several carriages entered the village and stopped in front of Li Hui's house. Don't look too early, such a large formation could not stop the villagers from watching.
When everyone saw the things carried out from the courtyard, they were all surprised.
First came the grain, then the wooden boxes, and those with good letters counted "one, two, three, four...".
"Why so many things? Are you moving or rushing for exams?"
"I've heard that his family has a lot of background, but I didn't expect there to be so many."
"What's so hard to guess! Think about how Li Fang and his wife looked at their virtues when they were alive. How could they not be blindly looking at their flesh?"
"Yes, yes, I remembered what you said. It is indeed similar."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... No wonder he is like a blind man, anyone else would be greedy..."
"..."
Everyone was talking in low voices.
Soon, all the things were loaded into the car, and Cheng Xue personally escorted Ma out. He specially hired a carriage for the three of them. The car was very big, more than enough for three people.
"Mrs. Li, please go back. I will take good care of Gastrodia and Shunxi. When I get to the capital, I will ask Gastrodia to write to you."
Cheng Xue held her hand tightly, nodded and said:
"Mom, thank you for your trouble. If you need any errands, just tell the two of them. Shunxi, Tianma, this trip to Beijing will all be under the arrangement of Mama Ma. Do you understand?"
"Yes, ma'am." They both said in unison.
Mr. Ma knelt down and saluted, smiled and said:
"Mrs. Li, please rest assured that the three of us will live up to your and Master Li's trust and will keep the capital in good order for you to come over."
"Okay, get in the car quickly." Cheng Xue said while helping her.
Compared with Bai Shao, she feels more at ease with Ma. After all, her age and experience are all there. Although Bai Shao is also very comprehensive, she still needs training.
The coachmen of the large convoy have been trained, and the ropes tied are fast and strong. Li Zhong handed the prepared bag of silver to the leader of the coachman, handed it over and said "Thank you", and the carriages left one after another. When the last carriage was gone,
Cheng Xue takes the children back to the hospital.
The two red-lacquered doors were closed, and the villagers looked at each other and left in groups. But the news about the convoy hired by the Li family soon spread in the village, especially the things they were hauling away.
, that is definitely the focus of discussion.
After Jiang Jianye listened to Jiang Lihong's words, he smiled and waved his hands and said:
"It's nothing to just talk in the village. It's gone in a few days. It's almost time, do you still want to change clothes? What did your wife prepare?"
"I made a few Yuboshi condoms, made of gold velvet material. I bought them specially. I don't want to change clothes anymore, this is what I'm wearing."
"Gold velvet? Ouch, that's quite expensive." After Jiang Jianye finished speaking, he quickly took out a piece of silver from his small treasury, "Bring it to your wife, and dad will help support the family."
Although he is not a business owner, he is responsible for all the subsidies he gets from doing business. Gold velvet material is very expensive, and some businessmen are too poor to afford it, let alone old farmers like them who rely on the land for their livelihood.
Jiang Lihong shook his head hurriedly when he heard this and declined, saying:
"No, Dad, you can keep the money for yourself. If our family has enough money to buy a piece of material, we can all make money. Besides, we take care of the fields, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., so we have money."
The couple gets wages every month, and they don’t have much to buy food for the family on weekdays, so they have accumulated a lot. Especially this year, they didn’t have much to buy for the New Year, and the workshop made enough.
Jiang Jianye couldn't help but give him the money and said:
"I don't know there is one yet, so just take it. The things I saved will all be yours from now on. It doesn't matter if you give them early or later. Take them back and let your wife be happy. You go back to the house and prepare some things with your wife."
, let’s set off and call Hongzi and his wife along the way.”
I thought they would leave without saying hello, but I didn’t expect that Li Hui came over in person yesterday and told them to set up a table at home this afternoon for them all to go over. Naturally, you can’t go empty-handed. Although the gift is very particular, it is within what you can afford.
.
When Jiang Jianye and the other five arrived at Li's house, Guo Dake, Dong Cheng, and Li Qingshan were all present in the house. The female family members were led to the main courtyard by Yu Niang, and Cheng Xue accompanied them there.
The content of the men's chats was too concise, and they had something to talk about, or the two old guys Jiang Jianye and Dong Lisong were talking a few words. Li Qingchun couldn't get a seat, so he just listened from the side.
Compared with the boring chat among the men, the women chatted and laughed here.
Let’s talk about the workshops, talk about each family, and then talk about the marriage of Nianzi and Zhuzhu.
Zhuzi is still a little worse, but he is still studying in a school. Nianzi is really remembered, just like when Li Yue was in the county or the city.
Mrs. Fang mentioned her niece again, Ms. Yang slowly shook her head after listening.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, Nianzi is still young and uncertain. I want to keep him for a few more years to temper his temper. Thank you, sister-in-law, for your kindness."
Fang understood this as soon as she heard this, waved her hand and said:
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Good women are everywhere, and so are good men. Nianzi and Manager Li are not just hanging around, they will definitely be successful in the future."
"Thank you for your good wishes, sister-in-law."
"Easy to say."
Cheng Xue looked at the state of the two of them and suddenly thought of Luo Shi. If she could know how to advance and retreat like Fang Shi...she quickly gave up the idea and didn't want to think about it anymore.
Don’t let her ruin your wonderful day.
When the banquet started, Li Qingchun's daughter-in-law, who had always been steady, suddenly mentioned that she wanted to drink. Seeing this, the other daughters-in-law also agreed and were eager to try.
There was wine prepared at home, but she didn't expect to be asked to drink it. Seeing Cheng Xue nod, Bai Shao turned around and went out to make some preparations. She didn't dare to take more, as each table had a small jar, which was only a pound and a half.
After a few glasses of wine, if you can't drink it, it will go directly to your face, but if you can drink it, your face will not change.
Cheng Xue can still drink in modern times, but she hasn't tried it before coming here. She doesn't feel hot when she touches her face, and her head doesn't feel dizzy. I think this body can drink...
