At the flowing table, Li Hui saw that Jiang Jianye and Li Qingchun were full and put down his chopsticks. He also put them down. He had already eaten and was afraid that they would be restrained, so he kept holding them.
During the dinner, Li Qingchun and Li Qingchun had already finalized the matter of opening a temple to worship ancestors tomorrow morning. At the same time, they also determined the number of acres of free land in their share, one hundred per clan. The number was consistent with what Li Qingchun had guessed, so things went smoothly.
.
The three of them left the yard side by side without returning home, and just wandered around the village.
I haven’t been back to the village for more than half a year, and the village has changed a lot. The houses that were repaired due to the snowstorm were all completed before spring plowing this year.
Seen from such a distance, it feels extremely down-to-earth.
Jiang Jianye patted his shoulder with emotion and said:
"If it weren't for your efforts, our village wouldn't be where it is now."
"Looking at what Uncle Jiang said, I didn't do anything. The main reason is that the people in our village are motivated. Brother Qingchun also contributed a lot, and the whole clan relies on him to be at the helm."
Li Qingchun, who suddenly quit the cue, shook his head and waved his hands in a hurry, not daring to take credit.
"Don't praise me so much. If Uncle Jiang hadn't stood in front of me, the clan wouldn't be able to control it like it is now."
It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Those clan elders who were dismissed in the early stage made a lot of noise after Li Hui left the village. Jiang Jianye said "Hey" and smiled and said nothing. There is still a limit to what he can do, and he still has to use Li Qingchun's thunderous power
.
People started to come to the village. They must have received the news and came to eat on the flowing water table. This is the case in all places, and it is an old tradition.
The cost of this day is not only 80 taels of silver, but also 50 taels. After all, meat and fish are hard goods. Although I can collect some eggs, woolen cloth and so on, compared with the Li family's return gift, it is simply
A small witch can make a big witch appear. In short, the purpose of the Li family is very clear. They focus on one thing and do not take advantage of others.
Time flies so fast, and it’s sunset in the blink of an eye. Candles have been lit in the west of the village, and you can see the smoke filling the air from a distance, and the fairy spirit floating in the air.
Li Hui and Li Qingchun sent Jiang Jianye home and then went to the ancestral hall to do what they could in advance so that they could leave early tomorrow.
"Huizi, you can check the accounts first, and then you can name the children of the clan who are over seven years old. I will trace the tablets later, and you can drag them back in to rest. You have to visit the graves of the uncle and the others tomorrow."
"Sure." Li Hui agreed, picked up the account book and looked through it.
The account books that can be given to him must be clean and have no problems, but he also believes that the current Li Qingchun will not have other thoughts.
I randomly selected five account books, and after reading them, I got up and picked up the genealogy book to fill in my name.
"Hui...Huizi doesn't want to look at it anymore?"
"I don't want to watch anymore. It's okay. It seems like a waste of time. I'm anxious to go home and lie down for a while. I've been busy since I left early in the morning and I'm really tired."
Li Qingchun pursed his lips tightly and said "Ah" in frustration.
He didn't have a single penny from the greedy clan, but he started lighting lamps and boiling oil a month in advance to do the accounting. People would stop looking at it after a long time, which made him feel... really uncomfortable.
After filling in the names of the seven children, Li Hui stretched his waist and said:
"Brother Qingchun, I'm leaving. I won't come here tomorrow morning after burning the incense. We will set off early the day after tomorrow. You should be busy with the autumn harvest and don't pay attention to us."
The implication is that after burning the incense tomorrow morning, don't look for him again. Li Qingchun didn't insist and sent him out of the ancestral hall with a smile. That's all. Even if he was invited to come to his house for dinner, at most he would only express gratitude and not come over. It's better to keep his distance.
, he doesn’t covet other people’s things, and he can do things with a straight back.
He can't do what Li Fang did, licking his face to ask for something.
As soon as he walked out of the ancestral hall, Shunxi came over, bowed his hands and said:
"Master, Tiandong is back."
Li Hui nodded when he heard this and asked as he walked:
"How are the two children doing? Are they all okay?"
"Sir, Jia Ning is fine. Jia An's face looks bad. My wife checked his pulse and said he is weak and should not travel or travel."
While talking, I went home and happened to see Yu Niang coming from behind, so I simply stopped and waited for her.
Jade Lady walked up to her, bowed her knees and saluted——
"Master."
"Where's Madam?"
"Back to the master, my wife is in Songhe Courtyard with my uncle, the old man, and my wife is talking."
"You can help take care of the two children Tiandong brought back. They won't come with us this time."
"Yes."
After explaining, Li Hui strode to Songhe Courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Cheng Xue sitting on the kang with Yu Huai and his wife. None of the children were there, not even the two brothers Yu Zhao and Yu Huan. p>
"What are you doing? What happened?"
"What happened? Can't we hope for something better?" Cheng Xue smiled and shook her head, "My uncle and aunt are planning my sister's marriage."
"Sister-in-law is looking for you so soon?"
Li Hui's words made all three people in the room stunned, and then Liu Shi returned to God and said:
"What, Zhuzhu Daddy is looking for you too?"
"They were looking for me last night, but I didn't get involved. After all, my cousin's marriage has to be decided by my uncle and aunt."
After speaking, Li Hui sat down next to Cheng Xue, and his big hands naturally hugged her slender waist. He didn't get a chance to be alone all day long, and returning to the village was actually more busy than rushing on the road.
"Uncle, what do you and your aunt think of this marriage? I think it's okay. Dong Cheng knows everything, and Zhu Zhu is stable and down-to-earth. The third brother said, let's get engaged first. I know you want to keep my sister Wan for a few more years.
, everyone has taken it into consideration."
Mrs. Liu was overjoyed when she heard what her nephew said. She turned to look at her husband and saw that he still had a gloomy face, so she did not let go and said:
"I will discuss it with your uncle tonight. If possible, we can settle the matter while you are at home. If not, you can also help us with a message and we will not show up."
"Okay, then uncle and aunt will chat first, and we will go back."
Hearing this, Yu Huai hurriedly spoke:
"What? Don't you want to sit down for a while?"
"No, I'm a little tired. Go back and lie down." Li Hui declined the old man's invitation.
After a day of hard work, he had an idea at the moment: take a bath, get on the kang, and hug his wife.
When Cheng Xue saw this, she also went to the ground to put on her shoes. She smiled at Yu Huai and said:
"Uncle, the issue of underclassmen is fine, let's discuss it on its own. Every village has this situation. Zhu Zhu is considered a promising young man in the village, so he can be considered. Besides, Yu Zhao's family is also here, and he has a biological eldest brother to help her.
Support me, Sister Wan will definitely not be bullied."
After saying that, without waiting for the old man to reply, he took Li Hui's arm and went out.
The two elders kept their original sitting posture, and it took a while before Yu Huai spoke:
"Daughter-in-law, do you think this marriage is okay?"
Mrs. Liu nodded without thinking and said:
"I think it's okay. The seniority you are worried about...just like Xue Niang said, everyone has their own issues. We know the Dong family very well. You also know what Dong Cheng is to our Huizi. If someone can take the initiative to mention the engagement first,
If we wait two years to do things, we are not trying to find someone else. We don’t rely on our daughter to make money. We just need to find a young person with a well-off family and a down-to-earth person so that she can live a peaceful life."
Although Yu Huai didn't speak, Mrs. Liu knew that they were loose after being married for many years...
