The Zhou Ping family came to Li Qiu Sui and handed over a brochure, "Girl, all the guests who came to the door today have sent congratulatory gifts. My wife and concubine are talking at the moment. I want you to watch and deal with it."
Li Sanzhu went to return tables, chairs and benches to others. For banquets in the village, the tables, chairs and benches were borrowed from other people. When they were used, they had to return them from house to house.
Logically speaking, after registering a gift from someone, it should be shown to the host's family first, so that they can repay the gift if something happens in the future. After that, it will be seen whether it is piled in the warehouse or something else.
The house was completed today, and the room planned to be used as a warehouse has not yet been tidied up properly. There are baskets of peace fruits piled up!
There are all kinds of congratulatory gifts received at the top of the beam.
For example, the Zheng family, the Cheng family, and the Hu family all received gifts of calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and porcelain. The gift lists were clearly written on them, and they could be placed anywhere they wanted. It wouldn't be a problem.
What was embarrassing were the congratulatory gifts from the Murakami people.
The one from Zhou Ping's family looked like a pig butcher - Liu Yidao's family would bring a large piece of pork belly to their door. Look at the meat, it's such a big piece, and it's of excellent quality. They've put their heart and soul into it. Even though it's August, it's not that cool yet, but it won't be fresh tomorrow!
And the one who gave away a basket of eggs and a handful of green onions...
No matter how knowledgeable the Zhou Ping family is, she used to be just a rough lady from a wealthy family, but now she will be caught blind...
It was just the gift book in their hands. How could the couple have thought of getting this if not for Zhao Da’s reminder!
Sisters Daliu and Liu had a rare opportunity to sit together and talk.
Li Qiusui took the book and flipped through it. The congratulatory gift from the villagers was written on a separate piece of paper, and he said: "...Whether it is a piece of meat or a handful of green onions, you have carefully made the book. Eat directly. Take it to the stove and let Hongying watch and handle it. Show the paintings and calligraphy to my eldest brother and fourth brother. As for the porcelain... let my sister see it first. If she likes it, she can keep it and put it in her room first. .”
The house had just been built, and it only had practical furniture such as simple beds, cabinets, tables and chairs. I didn't even have time to buy the rest. The gifts were brought over and they were used immediately.
The Zhou Ping family got the right word and went to work in a hurry.
Li Qiusui went to the kitchen again and saw that Hongying and Cuiping were still working there. There was a lot of meat and vegetables left over from the banquet, which were all prepared and no one had touched them.
"Wait a minute and take half of it to the old house. Send Cuizhu there, and ask my eldest aunt to send some to my aunt's house."
I specially bought some more meat. There are so many people in the family who are very tired during this period and they always need to eat. And over at the old house, my grandma is getting older. She has been busy with her life and has been accustomed to saving all her life. She always likes to pick out the bits of food in her mouth.
Li Qiusui was very weak and was too lazy to talk. He quietly felt the old man's pulse, and then secretly gave him some health-preserving pills. After three or four months, his health was good.
It was completely dark outside. After a busy day, Li Sanzhu's family could finally take a breather.
Over at the old house, Mr. and Mrs. Li Guangmao are elderly and have little sleep. After arguing all day, they still have little sleepiness.
Li Guangmao coughed and said in a deep voice: "Ahem! Old lady, after August and a half, let's... divide the house among their brothers!"
As parents, we always hope that our children will live well and that our brothers will live in harmony...
The old lady was silent, "Then let's divide it!"
Li Guangmao didn't expect the old lady to figure it out so quickly. How much time did he think it would take? He was still thinking about what was going on in his mind. Hearing this, he didn't react for a long time.
The old lady snorted, turned her back and said: "You have to tell the boss about this first. We two old bones will eventually live with the boss's family. Boss, although he is weaker, Changhe will marry him soon." The daughter-in-law has established a family. Although the eldest daughter-in-law is not very thoughtful, she is quick at work and does not care about her temper. With us watching from the side, life will not be bad. As for Erzhu, among the brothers, it turns out that she is watching He is the most capable, and his wife is also a capable person, so we don’t need to worry about our daily life... He is the fourth child, he is too lazy to work, and he also likes to play tricks. As for his wife, she doesn’t take good care of the children. I want to go to my mother’s house to have sex... I feel so angry just talking about it!"
Li Guangmao comforted his old wife, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! After we separate the families, we can live our own lives. No matter how we live, each can live according to his own ability. It is better than waiting until the brotherhood is exhausted and no one wants to take care of him. We can still hold on for a few more years, but we won’t let the fourth family starve to death..."
…
In Lijiacun, not only Li Guangmao and his wife couldn't sleep, there were many people who couldn't sleep, and the topic of conversation also revolved around Li Sanzhu's family.
As the head of the Li clan, Li Guangping and Li Sanzhu's family were crowned emperor, which was considered a great joy in the Li clan. He thought he was worthy of others' praise, so he left naturally.
At the banquet, he sat at the same table as Li Guangmao, but he was angry and didn't want to add luster to Li Guangmao's face, so he didn't say a few words from beginning to end.
Li Zhenzhen made an excuse to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts and hazelnuts with Shen Yao. She didn't go to the banquet at Li Qiusui's house, but she didn't expect to meet him on the way.
Li Qiusui's current appearance almost coincides with her impression.
Ever since he said that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, Li Zhenzhen never went to Li Qiu Sui again, and naturally she didn't say a word.
Unexpectedly, they were face to face this time. Li Xiuer was talking to Li Qiu Sui. Li Zhenzhen intuitively meant that she was talking about her. At that time, Shen Yao was standing next to her, feeling both expectant and anxious. His heart jumped into his throat...
Unexpectedly, Li Qiu Sui passed by them and just glanced at them lightly!
When Li Zhenzhen came back from the mountain, everyone in the village was talking about the guests who came to Li Qiusui's house today. They heard that in addition to the members of the town, their wives, young masters and young ladies came to the house.
And the Zheng family in Fucheng... I told them not to have any contact with their family, but they couldn't listen...
Are you really waiting for Li Sanzhu's family to become trapped in a cocoon and bring down the entire Li family?
Li Zhenzhen took a long breath and let go of some of the depression in her heart.
She took a look at the sky outside and walked towards Li Guangping's house.
Li Zhenzhen stopped and said, "Grandma, are you all asleep? I'm coming in!"
When Li Guangping came back from Li Sanzhu's house, his expression was not good and he didn't say much about the banquet.
You heard Li Zhenzhen’s voice. You’re still not sleeping at this late hour?
Li Guangping put on his clothes and urged his old lady to open the door, "If you want to come in, come in and talk!"
As soon as Li Zhenzhen walked in, Li Guangping asked, "Did you go to the mountains with that boy from the Shen family today?"
Without waiting for Li Zhenzhen to nod, she added, "Although we have decided to get married, you still belong to my daughter's family. It would be better to go less to the Shen family..."
