Even though the Liu family did not buy any vegetables or fruits at Xiao's house, the Liu family's five-day feast began. It was said that the banquet was huge and lively, with tables and chairs placed outside the courtyard gate, and the villagers ate three meals a day at Liu's house. This time, Mrs. Liu surprisingly didn’t lose her temper or make a fuss!
The distinguished guest came on the last day, and many people came. Liu Fushun, the villager Liu Jisheng, and some respectable people in the village waited at the entrance of the village to greet him early, and were led into the village by Liu Fushun and the villager Liu Jisheng.
"It must have cost a lot of money! After five days of running water, I heard that the table was covered with chicken, duck and fish meat." Wang said. In addition to reluctance, there was also envy that she didn't know she had in her words.
In the village, except for the Xiao family and the Xia family from Qiaodong, the only family in the village that did not attend the wedding banquet of Mrs. Liu's family was that their family would not set foot in the Liu family. The Wang family and Liu Yu have been together for the past few days. While helping Xiao Ming pick grapes, everyone except the two of them went to Liu's house for a feast.
Liu Fushun once personally came to invite the Xiao family and the Xia family, but they were rejected. Mrs. Liu completely hated Xiao Ming. From the day when Mrs. Liu cursed Xiao Ming's family at the entrance of the village, the whole village knew that Liu Fushun The Xiao family had been completely offended, and it was natural for Xiao Ming not to attend the Liu family's wedding banquet.
"Five days of running water banquet is quite expensive." An said with a nod. He heard that the banquet was very decent and he bought several big fat pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., which are available every day. The sales must be huge. Everyone knows that with the financial background of the Liu family, they can't even afford a day's service. This money must have come from the Zhou family.
"I haven't heard her yelling or cursing in the past few days." Mrs. Wang said curiously. The 'she' in her mouth was naturally Old Madam Liu. If in the past, Old Madam Liu would start shouting and scolding Wang Yunling and Wang Tiandong every day before dawn, and then... Wang Xiaohua knocked on the door again. If she was asked to come out with money and open a flowing mat, her voice would be heard by the whole village without jumping three feet high.
In the past, their two families would quarrel every now and then, but these days it was very peaceful, so peaceful that she was not used to it. It was amazing that Mrs. Liu could suppress her anger and not get into trouble.
There was no quarrel, she was really lonely.
Although the whole family did not go to Liu's house for dinner in the past few days, Xiao Ming did not treat her badly. Not to mention the delicious food and drinks at noon, she had never seen the food and accommodation, and the fish and shrimps from the sea in the south. Only the richest man in the city can afford it.
They also gave her separate food to take home for her family to enjoy. The wages were also increased. They were given two hundred or two hundred wages per day to their mother and daughter. According to Xiao Ming, now that there are fewer people, their work is heavier and the extra wages are Yes, we will come back when we have more manpower.
She felt happy knowing that Xiao Ming was taking care of their mother and daughter. Haha, those people who went to eat and watch the fun were not as lucky as her. The food she had here was no worse than theirs, and her wages were higher.
"The grapes are about to be picked, and we can pick peaches tomorrow." Mrs. Wang said, looking at the orchard with excitement. It only took nearly ten days to pick grapes. There are so many apples and pears. How long will it take to pick them? , the wages must be quite a lot, so she can buy a set of jewelry for her daughter.
"There's no rush. I'll help wash the grapes tomorrow." An said with some emotion. There were mountains of grapes piled up in the yard. She didn't expect that two small plots of land could produce so many grapes. They quickly washed the grapes outside. After picking the grapes, several little girls in the yard have not finished washing them and will have to help with the washing tomorrow. Lao Xia and Yi Feng helped cut a lot of bamboo and built a rack to hang the grapes to dry.
Nowadays, the family is full of old people and children. They are cleaning and hanging to dry at the same time. They are all too busy. They also have to prepare and seal the wine. However, it is relatively easy to make wine according to Sister Ming's wishes, otherwise there will be more things.
A bumper harvest and all the hard work are worth it.
She had tasted the fruit wine made by Xiao Ming and she liked it from the bottom of her heart. A jar of wine could be sold for more than ten taels of silver. She harvested so much fruit this year to make wine, which made her a lot of money. She never expected that a little girl like Xiao Ming could think of such a way to make money. Very extraordinary.
The little child not only has excellent medical skills, but also performs well in dealing with others and managing housework.
In the afternoon, after having lunch, the family was sitting under the shade of a tree to rest. Several people sat around and talked lively. Unexpectedly, the village chief Liu Jisheng led many people from the west of the bridge.
"Please, everyone, we are on the east side of the bridge after crossing the bridge. There are two families on the east side of the bridge, one is Xiao and the other is Xia." Liu Jisheng led the way home and introduced the situation of Liujia Village. After lunch, After everyone rested for a while, someone suggested taking a walk around the village, so there was a scene where Liu Jisheng accompanied the distinguished guests from the city.
In addition to Liu Jisheng, there were also several famous elders in the village accompanying the Zhou family. Liu Fushun followed Zhou's father, Zhou Zhongcheng, and several guests from the city. Zhou Zhongcheng was the main one along the way. , Zhou Lianrong held a beautiful woman's hand and the female relatives were a few steps behind, surrounded by a group of maids and women, while Mrs. Liu and Liu Erlang and Xiao Wang Xiaohua fell far behind the crowd, looking fawning.
Along the way, the houses were low and dilapidated, with potholes on the ground. Only the two houses on the east side of the bridge were passable.
"This Liujia Village is really barren." Zhou's mother Yu sighed. I was very dissatisfied and worried about my daughter.
The daughter fell in love with this poor boy from the countryside. She and the master were very reluctant to do so, but their daughter had been spoiled by them since she was a child. She set her sights on Liu Fushun and insisted on marrying him. The Liu family came to propose marriage. At that time, she said that she wanted a newly built house in the village and a yard in the city, so she reluctantly agreed.
But when I arrived at the village, I saw that the Liu family's big house was in shabby condition and had no place to stay. The newly bought house in the city was also pitifully small.
Mrs. Yu's sigh was not loud and could only be heard by her daughter who was supporting her and a few girls around her.
"Mother." Zhou Lianrong said coquettishly.
"My daughter doesn't live here. She will go back to the city to live right after the wedding banquet. She will live in the new house my father bought for me. I will let my mother-in-law and her second brother and sister-in-law build the house they bought themselves."
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the city today." Mrs. Yu laughed. The new house was opposite them, just a street away.
"Well, I don't want to be here for a moment." If she were to sleep in that room again, she would go crazy. Now she just wanted to go back and never come to this ghost place again.
"My good daughter, let's go back and live there. I've wronged you these past few days." Mrs. Yu patted her daughter to comfort her.
Liu Jisheng introduced his guests into the pavilion and sat down before knocking on the door.
"Is Miss Xiao at home?"
