The Kang table in the house is filled with all kinds of delicious pastries and preserves.
Cheng Xue was pouring tea. When she saw them coming in, she hurriedly waved and said:
"Come here and sit down, drink some tea, and relieve your tiredness. How is the banquet? Is it enjoyable?"
"It's so enjoyable, it's so enjoyable." Mrs. Xu said as she took off her shoes and got on the Kang, "Actually, just prepare tea. I can't eat these snacks and candied fruits at all."
"Yes, Tiedan Niang, we won't pretend to you, we are full after eating." Yang said and patted his belly, as if to confirm that he had eaten well.
"It's not that good. I only heard about the Erba Big Meat Banquet before, but never had the chance to see it. Now I not only see it, but also eat it. Thinking about it, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Seeing Mrs. Xu say this, Cheng Xue smiled, pinched the back of her hand, and asked jokingly:
"Does it hurt? Are you dreaming?"
Xu, who was in pain, withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"You are so annoying. You have eaten so much meat and fish. How could this be a dream! When I said that, you heard, why are you pinching me?"
"Look, you really don't understand good people. I'm here to help you make sure." Cheng Xue continued to joke.
"Are you making sure for me? You just want to pinch me, and you are blushing." Xu refused.
Ever since they got married one after another, they have never been as noisy as they are now. The Xu family misses it, and Cheng Xue also finds it interesting. No matter what status the Li family has now, they can be arrogant to outsiders, but facing this group of people who once provided help in times of need,
We must never forget our roots.
Yang, who was watching the show on the side, chuckled lightly and said:
"Okay, okay, I was thinking about everything when we were separated. We finally got together to chat, but we got into trouble again? Let's seize the time to chat, and let Tiedan Niang have a good rest later. They have to rush on after resting." p>
After her reminder, Mrs. Xu stopped making trouble, drank some tea to moisten her throat, and said:
"After receiving the news that Huizi was going to take office in the north, I and my mother, as well as Dake's sister-in-law, Shanzi's wife, the fourth brother and the fifth brother, etc., rushed to make cotton-padded clothes, dry vegetables, and sun-dried food for you.
It’s cold over there, so you must not be careless about keeping warm, otherwise you will suffer when you get old.”
"Yes, Tiedan Niang, don't dislike it, this is all our intention. I gave you fifty kilograms of fungus alone, and that doesn't count other people's."
"I have thirty kilograms of it, but there are a lot of sun-dried hazelnut mushrooms, dried potatoes, shredded beans and so on. You can eat it when you go over there. If you don't have enough left at home, I will get it for you. I won't be able to harvest the vegetables this year."
Not much."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you. Yu Niang and aunt have limited preparations. You can bring me whatever you have. If you can't finish it, I will ask someone to exchange it for leather goods in the north. Then we will share the north equally.
Although the Qi people are rough and good at fighting, their leather goods are still very good." Cheng Xue agreed.
Since they have decided to go into officialdom, they will not take the people's efforts one by one, and they will not take the people's bricks and tiles. This is the bottom line they must stick to.
"Yes, yes, the leather goods over there are very good, and we are not polite to you. Then I will give you all the ones at home, and you can help change the leather."
"And me, and me."
The two of them asked for everything. They have known each other for a long time and they understand each other. No one likes to take advantage of others. They appreciate it if they make other arrangements. Otherwise, these things will not be given away.
The exchange of leather goods aroused the topic, and soon the two of them talked about what happened in the village for more than half a year in detail. Many people at Yu Niang only heard about it in general, and now they piece it together.
It's quite complete.
"...Generally speaking, everything is fine in the village, except for those scheming and annoying ones in your clan. But don't worry, Li Qingchun has warned them. I don't think anyone will dare to fool around in front of you and your wife." p>
There is a saying that "a dog can't change its habit." If you want people to change their habits, it can't be done in a day or two, or in a year or two.
Cheng Xue understood this truth, smiled and played with the tea cup in her hand, saying:
"I'll tell you the truth, the few fresh faces in my family were all rewarded by the Imperial Household Office, and they all have unique skills. They can come if they dare. It just depends on whether they can resist the beating."
"Oh, it's a gift from the palace? Hui Zi really has face!" Yang said sincerely.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu opened her mouth from ear to ear with joy, and thought about what she would say when she went out. It would be better to say something sinister so that those people would not dare to come forward. After staying in the village for three days, she was so busy with everything at home that she hit the back of her head.
, how can I have time to deal with them?
The three of them chatted for a long time. Xu suddenly looked at Cheng Xue seriously and said:
"Hey, how about being a matchmaker?"
"What? Do you want me to help with matchmaking?"
"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded, smiled and said, "What do you think of my pillars? Although he is not as good as Dake's sister-in-law's nianzi, he is meticulous in keeping accounts, and now he is doing all the accounts compiled by the workshops on both sides. Just now.
My salary has been increased to 300 cash per month, and my family still has land, so the young couple will definitely have no problem living together."
"I can't tell you the conditions, but whose daughter are you talking about?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.
I am definitely not my two daughters, I still have this confidence. As for the girl in the village, it seems that even the matchmaker can't find her. Seeing Mrs. Xu's slumped belly, I suddenly had an idea and my eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you sure? We need a backup!"
Yang couldn't help laughing, chuckled and said:
"If it weren't for her seniority, she would have found someone to mention it herself. How can she wait for you to come back? I mentioned it to you just to see your attitude."
When Xu was told the central issue, she lowered her head instantly and gave an awkward "hmm" as a confirmation.
Although Yu Wan is of the same generation as Cheng Xue, she is Yu Huai's daughter, only two years older than Li Yue. She and Zhu Zhu are only one year apart, so this is the best marriage choice after much thought.
With the lessons learned from her two sisters-in-law, she did not dare to be careless or unthinking.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Xue. If Zhuzi and Sister Wan get married, we will build a house immediately. I promise you that in the future, Sister Wan will control Zhuzhu's wages. We don't want it. When Shuanzi grows up, we will separate the family and the family will
I will divide it equally into three parts and never let any child lose."
"Yes, Tiedan Niang, their house was bought together with us, so we built it as soon as we were told."
Seeing Yang's help again, Cheng Xue smiled and waved her hand and said:
"Don't worry, I won't stop the marriage of the two children because of seniority issues. But I can't guarantee this. After all, it depends on Sister Wan's own wishes, as well as the thoughts of my uncle and aunt. Not to mention Sister Wan and Ji
It will take another year. Based on my understanding of my uncle and aunt, I estimate that I will have to keep her for another two years."
"That's okay, let's wait. Don't say stay for two years, just stay for four years. Please ask Aunt Yu's family to see what she means."
