Almost the whole village of Liujia Village moves in, and the moving banquet is also very particular. The more people who go, the more lively it is, which means it is prosperous and people are prosperous.
Early in the morning, Wang, Wang and others went to Xiao's house early to help.
"Yesterday, Butcher Li from Lijia Village brought a whole pig. Did you see it?" Li said. His family lives in the middle of the village. The entrance is the only way to enter the village. On weekdays, you have to pass through it. The road passed by her door.
"I know, the Xiao family has made the reservation a long time ago." The woman holding the child next to her said, "The Xiao family is really prosperous this time. The three courtyards at home are fully furnished, plus the wages for repairing the house. , I don’t know how much they spent. Where did they get so much money?”
"How do I know this?" Mrs. Li muttered. She and Xiao Ming were not as close as the Wang family. Xiao Ming didn't even let her help when he asked the cook.
Now that the threshold of the Xiao family is high, it is even more difficult to mention this marriage.
"The Xiao family pays high wages. Your men work hard, and you go hoeing again. Your family must have made a lot of money this time." The woman asked quietly.
"Your family is not the same." Mrs. Li said. She went to hoe weeds and earned more than 200 yuan. Her husband repaired the house. Xiao Han later increased the salary to 20 yuan. In addition, after clearing wasteland and loosening the soil, the two of their families She almost earns more than two taels of silver per month. This is her net income. She does embroidery at home and the man works in the town and only earns seven or eight taels of silver in a year.
Speaking of which, the entire Liujia Village made a lot of money.
"If you ask me, the Wang family makes a lot of money. She paid you a lot for cooking for two months. She has leftovers to take home every meal. She is so beautiful. The man can dig wells. In the village, Only her family and the village chief's family earn more." The woman said, with a look of envy and jealousy on her face.
Ms. Li felt frustrated for a while after hearing this. She went to Xiao Ming and offered to help. Originally, she wanted to cook so that she could bring some steamed buns home for dinner every day. It's a pity that Xiao Ming actually asked her to weed.
"No, there is also his uncle. It took him more than a month to make a complete set of furniture. I don't know how much money I made. He actually refused to let my brother-in-law do it for someone from another village." Wang Xiaohua next to him With an angry look on her face, her brother-in-law was a carpenter. She approached Xiao Ming but was rejected. She also tried to talk to Xiao Ming several times, but Xiao Ming refused them all on the grounds that they could arrange it.
Mrs. Liu went to the village chief specifically for this matter and asked him to help intercede. Unexpectedly, the village chief was angry because of Xiao Anzi's matter and refused to help. Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't eat for two days.
Although she was angry, it did not affect Mrs. Liu and her family to go to the Xiao family for a moving banquet today.
Xiao Ming and the others had already changed into new clothes to welcome the guests. People in the village didn't give many gifts. They were just a basket of eggs from the East family, a bag of rice from the West family, etc. However, the courtesy was light and the affection was heavy, so Xiao Ming and the other three did not refuse.
Village chief Liu Jisheng and all the elders in the village came. Xiao Han greeted them from afar, and invited them into the east chamber living room to serve hot tea. Xiao Han greeted the male guests, and Xiao Han greeted the female guests. Ming led them to the west wing to talk. They were all from the village, and the banquet was held in the outer courtyard.
Many women in the village knew that Xiao Ming's family was busy today, so they spontaneously went to the kitchen to help. Most of the women left behind were unmarried girls drinking tea and eating snacks and fruits in the house. They were about the same age as Xiao Ming and were very interested in Xiao Ming. He was very curious and pulled Xiao Ming to ask questions. After a while, the room became lively.
"Sister Ming, look at how dark my skin is. Do you have any ointment to apply on me?" Liu Lin, the village chief's daughter, twelve or thirteen years old, pointed to her dark face with a sad look on her face.
"Yes, Aunt Xiao, Lin'er's face is very dark. She is the only one in the village with dark skin." The girl who spoke was Liu Xiaofang, the second granddaughter of the third grandmother's family. She was the same age as Liu Lin'er. She was holding a pear in her hand and eating it. say.
"Liu Xiaofang, if you call me a scumbag again, I won't play with you anymore." Liu Lin was unhappy. People in the village usually laughed at her for this, which made Xiao Ming laugh out loud.
"I'll make some for you when I'm free, but you have to take good care of it and don't expose it to the sun." Xiao Ming said.
"I know, thank you Sister Ming." Liu Linke was happy. She knew how good Xiao Ming's medicine was. The wound on her nephew's forehead did not leave any scars after using the medicine given by Xiao Ming.
"Aunt Xiao, you see I have acne on my face, please give me some medicine." Liu Yu, the daughter of the Wang family, saw that Liu Lin had successfully obtained the medicine and begged Xiao Ming to give her some.
Xiao Ming looked at her face. She was two years older than Liu Lin and Liu Xiaofang. Maybe it was because of her usual care. The little girl's skin was white, tender, smooth, and well-maintained. There were only a few like stars popping out between her forehead. Small pimples like strawberry dots ruin the beauty.
"You are suffering from internal heat. You don't need any medicine. Just drink more heat-clearing chrysanthemum tea and it will go away naturally."
"Really, thank you Aunt Xiao." Liu Yu was overjoyed. She took a big sip from the tea cup. She drank so eagerly that she choked and couldn't help coughing.
The people in the room burst into laughter.
Xiao Ming patted her back gently and said with a smile: "No need to be in such a hurry, you can take a few packets back home and drink slowly."
While they were talking, Grandma San, Mrs. Liu, Wang Xiaohua and several women walked in, and Xiao Ming hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Grandma Three, Aunt Liu, you are here, please take a seat."
"Little girl Xiao, this house is in good repair. It's beautiful and spacious." The third grandma and the others just went to walk around the yard, and they were very pleased to see this beautiful brick house.
Mrs. Liu and Wang Xiaohua were even more so, looking here and there, touching here and there, touching here and there. Wang Xiaohua's eyes were moving around, and she was praising her constantly. She wanted to take away the good things when she saw them, but she was stopped by the third grandma. .
Wang Xiaohua sat down and looked at the snacks and fruits on the table. She grabbed them and ate them regardless of the appearance. She moved her mouth very quickly and ate what was in her mouth. She held it in her hand and stared at the table. The little girl was shocked when she saw this. This was a rhythm that was about to refresh her outlook on life.
"You're flattered." Xiao Mingdao looked at the chaos at the table and hurriedly asked a few girls to go to the next room to play.
"Girl Xiao, you have spent a lot of money on this, right?" Old Mrs. Liu asked. In her heart, she wanted to know how much money the Xiao family had. She also had a son who was not married, and Xiao Ming had two parents. The elder brother has no relatives, he only has a little brother, who is very easy to control.
Xiao Ming also has medical skills to earn money. If this is allocated to his son, then she will move in with the talented Xiao Ming as the head, and let Xiao Ming hand over all the money in the family to her to take care of.
Thinking about living in such a nice house and having endless money, Mrs. Liu felt excited.
"These are all arranged by my younger brother. I don't know either." Xiao Ming replied. She had already expected that someone would ask, so she had already discussed with her younger brother how to answer. If she asked Xiao Han, she would ask him to say it was Xiao Ming. When I asked Xiao Ming about the arrangements, she said that Xiao Han was arranging them.
"Now there is no food left at home. After eating this meal, I don't know if I will have another meal." Xiao Ming looked at Mrs. Liu's bright eyes and started crying after thinking about it.
"What you said is true. Aren't you good at medicine? You are still practicing in the town's medical clinic. How much money can you earn in a month? How come you don't have it?" Mrs. Liu didn't believe it.
