There is a second reason that makes the villagers even more excited, that is, Sun Dajie passed the exam, and the Sun family will definitely have a banquet to celebrate.
The Sun family runs a pig farm and is not short of money.
And with a rich granddaughter like Yang Ruoqing to help, when the time comes, the whole village will set up running water mats, and everyone can go there to eat and have a good meal!
Therefore, the entire villagers in Changping Village were very excited, and everyone craned their necks in anticipation.
Sun family.
Yang Ruoqing smiled at Lao Suntou and Da Sunshi and said: "Gong Ga, aunt, uncle, now the whole village is asking when you will hold a flowing banquet. Everyone has prepared chopsticks and empty stomachs. Just waiting.”
Hearing this, the eldest Sun was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Qing'er, go and tell the villagers that we will definitely treat them to meat and wine," Dasun said.
Dajie's father, an honest and humble little man who has never had any sense of presence, also grinned with an honest smile.
"Dajie's mother is right. We, Dajie, have passed the exam, and our family is willing to hold a running banquet!" the man also said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, then turned her gaze to Lao Suntou.
The old man was smoking a dry cigarette there, but it was different from the stuffy cigarette he had smoked some time ago in memory of Mrs. Gapo Sun. Old Sun's head was squinted, and his wrinkled face was full of joy and pleasure.
The old man sat there, his back straightened a bit.
"Gong Gong, my uncle and aunt have expressed their opinions. It's up to you to make the final decision! Whether the people in our village can eat meat and drink wine depends on your old saying!" Yang Ruoqing joked.
Old Sun Tou pulled out the tobacco stick from his mouth and said with a smile: "Our ancestors in the Old Sun family have never produced a famous person in so many generations."
"It's up to our generation, the Great Master, to have a successful candidate. It's great. This is the blessing of our ancestors, and it's also the blessing of Qing'er and your grandmother in heaven!"
At the mention of the deceased Mrs. Sun, everyone's mood became a little more solemn.
The eldest Sun sighed: "Hey, if Dajie's grandma hadn't left, I don't know how happy she would be when she saw her eldest grandson passing the exam!"
Mrs. Sun also said: "Yes, if my mother were here, it would be perfect..."
Seeing that the great atmosphere was about to cool down again, Yang Ruoqing hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "I know Ga Poquan, and I will definitely be happy."
"Mom, eldest aunt, let's talk about the banquet for now."
"The government documents should arrive in our village in the next two days, and we should make preparations."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mrs. Sun quickly came to her senses and her eyes lit up again.
"Yes, yes, it's time to make preparations. Dad, you are the head of our family. You have the final say on how to organize the banquet. I will just follow your instructions and run errands..."
…
Because there was an example from Da'an, the Sun family's criteria for deciding banquets were based on the one from Da'an.
They held a banquet in the village to entertain relatives and friends.
Then go over to Sunjiagou and send the invitations.
At that time, enthusiastic villagers in the village, or those who have some friendship with them, will come to congratulate them. Regardless of the size of the congratulatory gifts, all the other people's families, from the elderly to the children, will be invited to come over for a banquet.
In addition, Lao Yang's family also plans to invite a theater troupe to come over and perform a big opera, and also provide three days of fried dough sticks and twists.
This proposal was politely rejected by Yang Ruoqing.
"This festival is not like the one in Da'an back then, where the weather was smooth, everyone had enough to eat, and it happened to coincide with the first lunar month, so they could sing big plays to add to the excitement."
"It's not peaceful outside right now. There's a war going on in Lanzhou, which borders the river with us. There are refugees everywhere. In addition, there are a lot of people in our eight villages who don't have enough to eat."
"If you hear that we are singing a big show here and selling fried dough sticks and twists for three days, then everyone will come, including those ruffians, and there will be a lot of looting, and there may be a big trouble. We do bad things with good intentions, and happy things turn into troubles. ." Yang Ruoqing analyzed it carefully.
Da Sun was the first to nod: "Well, what Qing'er said makes sense, and I think so too. When the time comes, someone will take the lead in making noise, and bring a group of hungry refugees with hoes to rush into our home. We come here to rob things, but the law doesn’t punish everyone, and the government doesn’t know who to turn to, so we’re at a loss and can’t say anything!”
Old Suntou frowned and said: "It's hard for our Sun family to have a successful candidate. This is the honor of our ancestors for eighteen generations. Why do we have to do something to benefit the people!"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to sing in a big opera. We'll leave it until the first month of the year and invite the opera troupe to come over and sing."
"By then, maybe the rebellion will be over and the relief food will be smoothly distributed to everyone. Then we will make up for the big drama and make it even better for the villagers."
Lao Suntou thought about it for a while and finally made a decision: "Okay, then we will do as Qing'er said. The world is in chaos right now, so we'd better keep a low profile as much as possible!"
…
Dajie passed the exam. In addition to the Sun and Yang families who were happy, there was another family in Changping Village who was also honored.
That's right, that family is Dajie's father-in-law's family, Daniu and Dayun.
After dinner, Daniel and Dayun came to Yang Huazhong's house to talk to Yang Huazhong and Sun about this matter.
Yang Ruoqing was also here, pouring tea for Daniel and Dayun, and then sat back next to Sun.
There, two men, Daniu and Yang Huazhong, talked about the banquet to be held in the next few days and who the relatives and friends would be at the banquet.
Dayun was sitting here with Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruoqing. Dayun helped Mr. Sun divide the cotton threads in the pineapple for needlework, while pulling the family.
"... Not to mention that my in-laws' family has never produced a famous person for several generations, and the same goes for our family. I really didn't expect that our son-in-law is still a civil servant, and Huang Mao can be a civil servant's wife one day, hahaha..."
As Dayun spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
She and Daniel had been talking about this at home every day for the past two days, and the couple became happier and happier because their daughter married into a good family.
"Mother Qing'er, you were the one who pulled the red thread back then. You are really a blessed person. Look, how lucky my yellow hair is now!" Dayun said again.
"When I talked about this with Daniel, we both said that I am most grateful to you!"
Hearing Dayun's words, Mrs. Sun also stopped what she was doing and said to Dayun angrily: "Why do you thank me? This is mainly because their two children are destined! I am just, Xiaoxiao After some matchmaking, it was done, hehehe..."
Dayun smiled from ear to ear and said to Mrs. Sun: "No matter what, you are Huang Mao of our family and the benefactor of our whole family. If you had not pulled the red thread, Huang Mao would not have been able to marry." So good."
"Huang Mao's younger brother has reached the age to say goodbye after the Chinese New Year. He has a brother-in-law who is a civil servant, so he should be a girl from a pretty good family! Qing'er, do you think so?" Dayun asked by name. .
Yang Ruoqing raised her lips and smiled, saying: "Yes, it must be."
Whether in ancient times or modern times, everyone pays attention to nepotism.
To put it bluntly, this is a kind of resource sharing and strong alliance.
