In front of Ye Wuye's house, there is an old elm tree in the center of the tunzi, and the trunk is so big that three or four adult men can barely hold it.

How old is it?

According to Ye Siye, who started telling stories under the tree at this moment, it has been more than 200 years. Their ancestors planted saplings when they occupied the land.

Guan Ping'an quietly counted the period of the previous dynasty, and then ...... The foundation of the Ye family was all understood by her curiosity as soon as she first heard it.

Tonight, her fourth grandfather began to tell the story again. This time it's not about the generals riding horses to fight, but about the foresight of the ancestors.

What are you?

Elm Money.

It's the most difficult time for every family. There is no food to eat, and the "elm money" and elm leaves in early spring and early summer are food substitutes.

Throughout the year, there are many people under this old elm tree. Especially in the summer nights, the trees are bustling with activity. This place became a meeting place.

As soon as a group of old ladies are busy with their work in the house, they will definitely come out and sit on the side of the big tree—or take the soles of their shoes, or mend their clothes, or knead twine...... In short, while busy with the work in hand, they whispered and laughed at homely things.

And on the back of the tree on this side, under the tree facing the entrance of the village, there is a large stone table with the vicissitudes of time, and stone piers of different sizes.

This treasure land is the youngest doll in Yejiabao, and he also knows that this place is the throne of the ancestors of the clan who are still alive in the world.

These old men are around the big stone table, and the winter cats are holding long cigarette pouches in their mouths to warm up, and the rare rest time when they are busy with spring sowing, autumn harvest and summer work, basically all of them are consumed here.

The people in Yejiabao still retain many ancestral customs in their lives: such as drinking strong tea and drinking spirits.

It is said that in the past, both men and women, young and old, were good at singing and dancing. At night, the clearing in front of the old elm tree will be filled with wine, singing and dancing.

But in Guan Ping'an's memory, it seems that except for a team that can win the first place every year, other dances seem to have never been seen.

It's wine, and it's indispensable.

And the song, hey~hey~

It's still the old rules.

After getting out of the carriage, before she could "complain" to her grandmother, her grandfather held a case of wine and called them to go under the old tree.

Guan Tianyou pinched Qi Jingnian's hand: Look at it~

Qi Jingnian didn't understand very well.

But soon, he understood.

The servants greeted the elders.

Here comes the main event~

"Come, come, pour wine, pour wine. What do you old guys want to hear at this time? Our aunt and grandmother don't move their throats easily. ”

"Haha......"

Ye Siye's words caused everyone to laugh.

People are crazy and giggling, shouting and drums? What about drums? She will sing and dance to all the grandparents, grandmothers, uncles and aunts today.

Her dad was right!

She is a good girl with the measure of all rivers!

Her father's good daughter can't have a narrow mind that is partial and comprehensive. It's like peeking at a leopard in a tube, seeing a stain and denying a person entirely.

How's that going to work?

Absolute!

You must not hold on to a person's shortcomings. You know, people are very complicated, and this kind of narrow prejudice can make her unable to make the right judgment about a person.

As for filing a complaint with her grandmother?

That's a must!

"Hey~~Brother and sisters, jump up~, my grandfather said let's dance well, everyone has sugar~Ye Wuye is going to charter a venue today~"

Hmph~ Don't think she doesn't know, her grandfather actually hid a big bag of candy to coax his daughter-in-law. I'll let you coax my grandma to see if she pinches you.

Ye Wuye, who was cheated, said: He has no sugar! Yes, he also has to find a moldy old man for reimbursement. Didn't you look at who his old man was for?

The breeze is gentle and the sky is full of stars.

The old tree heard the roar of laughter again. The little girl who watered it from time to time began to pull back again, but who cares?

Just be happy.

Just like at this moment, Mei Baiding, who was in the capital, watched Qi Lao suddenly come to visit in the middle of the night, and insisted on letting him accompany him to have a glass of wine.

It's good if you're happy!

"My little Jingnian has arrived at that Malutun at noon today. I heard Xiao Wang say that the fifth uncle's uncle is very good, and sure enough, my eldest grandson has a good eye. ”

If the old man remembers correctly, your eldest grandson hasn't seen his friend yet, has he?" Mei Lao raised his glass and touched his wine glass.

And then......

"You're so boring, you're almost dry!"

Mei Lao shook his head with a smile.

"You said you don't smoke, and I can understand that. But you don't even drink wine, what's the point of being a man? Look at Lao Tzu, two catties of liquor are no different from drinking water. ”

"Blow in front of your old Tan (Mrs. Qi), I count you as capable!"

"Cut~ Do you think Lao Tzu is Lao Jiang? When the old boy saw his family frowning, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to hide the wine at home. I said that he was cowardly, and he actually said that he was respectful. ”

Mei Lao glanced at him speechlessly. Don't think that the old man doesn't know that you are worse than the old man Jiang, as soon as the little handkerchief in your house is taken out, you are even more cowardly.

"No, just before dark today, before I talked a few words at my house, as soon as the one in his house called him, he put down the phone and ran away without saying a word. ”

Mei Lao pointed at him angrily, "Don't go around in circles for me." ”

"Haha......" Qi Lao laughed heartily, "Happy! I'll just say you're a happy person! Xiaomei, the fifth child has been in the county for a long time and hasn't returned." ”

"Since he said it, he will never go to his eldest niece to report it. The fifth man, you don't know his virtue. ”

"Then what do you say Lao Jiang is doing in a hurry? When I came over, his second family was in the compound, was it Old Man Xia...... Huh?"

Why didn't he find out that Old Man Qi still had a gossip heart, could it be that he had covered it up too perfectly before? Old Mei was silent and hooked his finger at him.

Qi Lao raised his hips and moved the chair to his side.

"Lao Wu just wants to smash stones, why doesn't he just smash Jiang Xiaoer, right? Whose trouser belt is loose is very important. Can he do it?"

Qi Lao glanced left and right, and whispered, "No wonder you keep using a belt." ”

“......”

"Haha......"

"Lao Tan knows that you are a lot old, and you still don't cultivate, right?"

"Fuck off!

Mei Lao decisively scolded him with his little granddaughter's words, "Ka Cha Cha, one, two, three, hey! ”

"What does that mean?"

Mei Lao raised his eyebrows, "You think about it yourself." ”

"......" Qi Lao squinted at him, "Ballroom dancing is a task, I don't believe you didn't dance." ”

"Hey, I really haven't. ”

"It's all nonsense! Come, analyze and analyze what happened to the Xia family this time, how will Lao Jiang choose? There is a commotion outside, and Lao Tzu is really annoyed to hear it. ”

"I know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown. ”

"Where's the storytelling?"

Mei Lao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "The Xia family is not important. You'd better pay attention to Ming'er Newspaper. ”
