Chapter 65

Rui'er's full moon is the first famous happy event that the Chang family encountered after getting out of the predicament and getting better.

Whether it is to show the importance of Rui'er or to take the opportunity to celebrate, the Chang family will hold a big event this time.

Father Chang announced at the time that they couldn't do it in the past, but now that life is better, whoever has children in the future, regardless of gender, will have to operate according to this scale. But even if you live a better life in the future, it can only be this standard, not more extravagant, everything must have a degree.

Chang Xile's words have touched everyone before, and now even Chang Dad is sure from the side that everyone has their own plans in their hearts.

As long as you really care about your child, where will you care about men and women, but you have to follow the way of the world, for fear of going out of line and bringing misfortune to your own children. Now that the head of the family gives the child a long face, there is naturally no unhappiness. The girl is spoiled at home, and when she gets married in the future, the husband's family will not dare to bully.

They all have daughters, so they naturally hope that the family can have more relationships with girls, so sister-in-law Wang and sister-in-law Cao are actively recruiting. The full moon is so important, so can't the child marry even more in the future?

Now the Chang family eats a lot of food every day, and it is no longer just a pot of water and hot vegetables as before. Nowadays, I like to stir-fry and eat, and I can have more patterns.

Therefore, when the full moon wine is over, the family often brings their own specialty dishes, so there is a lot of work. After all, as long as the chicken and duck are killed and cleaned up before, the dishes are washed, but the stir-fry process is much more complicated. Although the weather is not cold now, the food is still not delicious when it is cold.

The dish should not be served too slowly, otherwise it will be sluggish.

Fortunately, I also managed it during the Chinese New Year, although there was no such a big scene, but I had some experience.

And these things have nothing to do with Chang Xile, and everyone is now consciously not putting too many things on him. In the past, he couldn't do it, but now that he has some money at home, he doesn't want to let Chang Xile get involved in these mundane things, thinking that it will lower his identity.

Chang Xile also felt that there was no need for him to meddle in everything, and seeing everyone's resolute attitude, he was as good as a stream.

Early in the morning, people from other houses in the Chang family also came to help, and every kind of animal raised in the family was killed, because there were many people in Taoyuan Village, and it was very difficult to set up this table, and they had to borrow dishes and chopsticks and table straw mounds from other people.

The entire Chang family was drowned out by the cries of all kinds of livestock and poultry, and although many people came to help, they were still busy with their feet on the ground.

It's just that everyone doesn't let Chang Xile interfere, it's not a matter for him and Chang Yu to look so stupid, and they can't read because of the quarrel at home, so they simply came to Song Bangcheng early in the morning.

Wan Niang has also given birth, gave birth to a big fat boy, and listened to Song Bangcheng say that the tiger head and tiger brain are particularly cute. But Chang Xile doesn't believe it, newborn children are wrinkled like kittens, if they are really born with tiger brains, how big they have to grow, this is all when the father sees his children with their own filters.

Wan Niang heard that Ding San's sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and she felt a little sorry for her, she still knew very well how much pressure a woman had without a son. But I didn't say much on my face, I just smiled and said that I wanted to give the two dolls a doll kiss.

Song Bangcheng originally wanted to come back to Taoyuan Village after the confinement, but the old father and mother of the family and Wan Niang did not agree, and finally relied on him for more than half a month, Wan Niang kicked him out of the house on the grounds that he wanted him to go back to Taoyuan Village to participate in Rui'er's full moon wine.

Song Bangcheng rushed to Taoyuan Village with a broken face, Chang Xile thought something was wrong, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he asked.

But it's understandable to think about it, Song Bangcheng has been wandering around all these years, and finally settled down to study this time, and the people in the family naturally hope that he will work harder. Song Bangcheng was admitted to Xiucai very early, and he was very good at learning, but he felt that he should go out more to see the world and know the world, so he was not in a hurry to go up.

Now that I feel that I have seen almost everything, it is time to settle down, so I began to prepare for the scientific expedition.

The Song family has been stuck in Xiucai and can't climb up, and they really hope that Song Bangcheng can succeed. And Wan Niang has always hoped that her husband will become a Chan, so she will have to suffer the consequences of this expectation. You can't say who's right and who's wrong, everyone has a different way of living.

Chang Xile couldn't help sighing: "But now there is more than a year before the scientific expedition, it can't be like this all the time, right?" Children always have to be with their parents, and since they are boys, the father's education is also very important. ”

"Naturally, it won't work, and Brother Xi has grown up, so I have to teach him. When the children are older, they will bring the mother and son over. ”

"Will my sister-in-law come over?" Chang Xile was a little skeptical.

Newborn children are indeed noisy, and they have to get up several times at night. There are no diapers here, and once you pee, you have to get up to change them, and you have to feed or something, which really affects your sleep.

Even if you don't need Song Bangcheng to take care of it, there will be movement after all. Although the Song family is rich, they are not rich and noble, and the nurses they invite are only to take care of them, not to breastfeed, they are all their own children.

Song Bangcheng smiled slyly, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything." ”

Chang Xile later learned that Song Bangcheng hired a trustee and pretended to be a fortune teller to fool Song's mother, so after 100 days, the children's family came over.

Because there are many people invited to the banquet, the Chang family can't set so many tables. So the banquet was placed on the flat ground in the center of the village, and when Chang Xile and Song Bangcheng appeared, they were already full of black pressure and a group of people.

Chang Xile felt a little dizzy when he looked at it, to be honest, he was not too interested in holding a big banquet, mainly because he felt too troublesome. Fortunately, he only paid for it and didn't need to work, otherwise he would have wanted to cry if he was asked to do it. He likes to think about eating once in a while, but he really has no interest in stir-fried big pot rice or so many people's meals.

The banquets of the Chang family are very rich, and they are all dishes that can only be found during the New Year's Festival.

Snail and pig's trotter pot, taro button meat, glutinous rice tamale, mutton soup, stir-fried chicken with tender ginger and so on.

With so many meat dishes, people's eyes are straightened, this Chang family's three rooms are really generous! It's just a girl's full moon wine, and it's so grand.

Ding San's sister-in-law's mother's family was also very happy to see this, and was originally worried that her daughter would not be treated well if she gave birth to a girl, but it can be seen that she was served so well in the confinement, not to mention, this full moon wine is still so beautiful, this is all because of the importance of it, and it did not produce mustard.

And many people present are also active in their hearts, whether they marry such a family or marry the daughter of such a family, it must be excellent.

Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, although they were now better off than before, and often ate meat. But except for the Chinese New Year, no one usually dares to be so extravagant. I didn't expect this full moon wine to be eaten so well, not to mention the meat dishes, and it was all white rice, and I didn't need to eat for a few days after eating this meal!

And many people sneak out to go home under the pretext of going to the toilet, this full moon wine and meal is so good, I feel that the gift I brought is too thin, and the face is really not good-looking.

However, the Chang family did not accept many gifts, which was discussed by the Chang family before. If someone raises the level of gift-giving, others can't but follow, and this kind of happy event will become a burden in the future.

In fact, part of Daddy Chang's decision to do a big deal is that he feels that he has money, and he wants to invite everyone to have a good meal through happy events to repay everyone's care over the years. There are not many people in the village, although it is not impossible to open the pot, but it is still difficult to think of such a way to eat.

Song Bangcheng and Chang Xile sat down together, he came in straight, and when he left, he was sidewaysβ€”he was drunk with too much wine.

Although the people in Taoyuan Village are enthusiastic, no one will do anything if they really refuse to drink, especially if the object is Song Bangcheng. But Song Bangcheng is greedy for a cup, and he usually either doesn't drink it, and he can't stop drinking it.

Chang Xile still doesn't drink a drop of wine, although Chang Yu knows what is going on now, he still keeps his promise.

The banquet lasted until late, but fortunately, many people from the village came to help, otherwise just cleaning up those dishes and chopsticks would be enough for the family to have a headache.

At night, inside the house.

Chang Xile and Chang Yu were lying on the bed, because their hair was not dry, so half of their heads were hanging outside the bed. His hair hung long on the side of the bed, and anyone who came in would be startled at first sight.

"The second sister-in-law is also pregnant, and the sisters-in-law are still very young, and I don't know how many children there will be in the future, and the house will not be enough to live in at that time. We estimate that we will need to build a new house, and we will get you a room when the time comes. ”

Chang Yu was originally a little drowsy, but he immediately woke up when he heard this.

"I don't want to, I want to be with Lele."

Chang Xile smiled and touched his head, "But you don't mean that you are an adult, you can't always stick with me." ”

Chang Yu frowned slightly, "Why can't you grow up?" ”

"Because we are going to have our own families, you will marry and have children in the future, just like the eldest brother and them. In the future, you will have your own daughter-in-law and your own lovely children......"

Chang Yu's face was full of disgust, "I don't want it, I just want Lele." ”

Chang Xi smiled, he had mentioned similar topics more than once, but Chang Yu didn't eat at all. He couldn't imagine what kind of person Chang Yu would marry when he grew up, just like himself. Although I have integrated into this world, I am always inevitably a little estranged from the outside world in my heart, so I am very idealistic.

But because of this, he has no interest in the women here, and he has never fantasized about marrying a wife and having children here. He was almost sure that he would not marry a wife and have children in the future, and the reason why he honestly reminded Chang Yu was because he was afraid that his behavior would affect him. So instilled from a young age, it will be logical in the future.

And Chang Yu is indeed too clingy to him, and now he is almost like an ordinary person, but his sticking behavior has never been weakened. Although Chang Xile didn't care about it, and enjoyed it a little, he also knew that this was not good for Chang Yu's growth.

"We won't leave at that time, and I'll have to rely on Little Meow and Little Meow's children in the future, but I don't sleep in the same room."

"Why?"

"You have to be with your daughter-in-law, otherwise you won't be able to have children."

Chang Yu tilted his head, "Lele is a daughter-in-law, and Lele gives birth to a child." ”

Chang Xile laughed directly, and pushed his head with his hand, "You little guy even dares to take advantage of me, and you talk nonsense without understanding anything." ”

"I understand!" Chang Yu swore solemnly.

Chang Xile smiled even more happily, "What do you know, little fool, how can a man have a child." ”

Chang Yu pursed his lips and looked serious, "Then don't have children." ”

Chang Xile laughed directly, "You kid, you really want to kill me." ”

Chang Yu looked a little unhappy, flattened his mouth and did not speak.

Chang Xile took a long time to get out of his breath, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." It's my fault, what to do with you so early, you'll understand when you grow up."

"I understand now!"

Chang Xile ignored his words at all, and even told Song Bangcheng about it as a joke the next day. I think the world of children is really interesting, and any messy words can come out of my mouth.

Song Bangcheng actually felt that something was wrong at that time, but it can be seen that Chang Xile admitted it so frankly, and felt that he was thinking too much. After many years, I realized that it was not that I thought too much, but that Chang Xile was too simple-minded.

Although the river part of Daoxiang County was completed very early, the official passage of the entire river was more than a year later. At this time, the rapeseed in Taoyuan Village had been harvested, and rice had been planted, and cotton had also been planted.

Cotton is now the largest cash crop in Taoyuan Village, and now it has twice as much area as it was more than a year ago, and it is all barren mountains that are not suitable for growing rice.

After the river was passed, the clan elder chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the people of the entire Taoyuan Village put down their work, including the workshop, and went to the river to worship the river god together.

Today's Taoyuan people have a deep understanding of the significance of this river to them.

Although there have always been caravans of the Shen family coming to collect the goods produced before, because the transportation cost is too high, although the Shen family does not need the people from Taoyuan Village to directly pay this money, it will also be passed on to the purchase price, and the price will be lowered accordingly.

Especially like living creatures, the people of Taoyuan Village are now gradually exploring a more scientific breeding method, in fact, they can already increase the price, but because of the difficulty of transportation, the death of livestock is often caused by rushing, so whether it is price or quantity, it has not been able to catch up with the actual development of Taoyuan Village.

Now that the river is open, the cost of this part is greatly reduced, so the purchase price can be negotiated, and the scale of the farm can be increased accordingly.

The convenience of transportation will also allow Taoyuan Village to have more choices, even if the Shen family has a moth in the future, they are not afraid of the road being blocked.

Some of the villagers may not know about some of the deeper benefits, but they know that as long as the river is opened, their lives will be better.

Chang Xile also asked Li Zheng to organize everyone to build the ferry port of Taoyuan Village. Originally, it was only suitable for small boats, but now large ships can also dock. That's a lot of money, and most of the pockets are empty all of a sudden. And Chang Xile also bought all this piece of land, there are people in the county who are easy to do, although they also spent a lot of money, but it didn't cost much.

It's just that in this way, the Chang family has almost been hollowed out, and there is almost no activity funds on hand.

Until now, many people in the village don't understand, but they also know that this qiΔ“ is for Taoyuan Village.

Today's Changjia life has been very rich, and although the saline-alkali land has not yet been remediated, the results can now be seen. At that time, according to the previous division, the Chang family will be able to become a big landlord and not worry about food for several lifetimes. Now doing this is also for their entire Taoyuan Village.

Everyone knows this principle, and when they start working, they work harder and more seriously, and this place is very well organized.

"There's a boat, there's a boat, it's a big ship!"

As soon as the worship of the river god was finished, everyone had just gotten up from the ground when the sharp-eyed people saw a big boat coming from a distance.

"This river has only been opened for a short time, and someone is walking so fast."

I used to come and go in small boats, but I've never seen such a big one.

"Uncle, it's the ship of the Shen family's caravan! Look at the flag! Yang Zi stood on a high place and looked out, saw the flag on the ship clearly, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

The Chang family couldn't be more familiar with the signs of the Shen family's caravan, and even the youngest knew that as long as the Shen family's caravan came, their family would have money.

"Hey, it's really the Shen family caravan, they were just in time, and they happened to come when we were sacrificing to the river god." Chang Xiwang Road.

Chang Xisheng said with a smile: "Where is the coincidence, Xiao Wu handed over the letter before, and it is estimated that they deliberately pinched this point." ”

This is also for the sake of good luck, which is a good sign for both parties.

"Hey, the man at the bow of the boat looks so familiar." Chang Xile said with some uncertainty.

As the ship got closer and closer, I could faintly see the group of people standing on the bow of the boat, and the leader kept waving to them.

"It's Shen Baili." Chang Yu glanced at it and affirmed.

Now Chang Yu is fourteen or fifteen years old, and his voice is no longer as immature as before, and has begun to change his voice, becoming a little low, but it is not difficult to hear. And the size is already the same as Chang Xile, about the relationship between martial arts training, the whole person is straight and straight, and he looks very energetic. In addition, he has a good appearance, and he is very conspicuous in the crowd.

Chang Yu's eyes are very good, his eyesight is several times that of ordinary people, and he is absolutely not wrong when he says that it is Shen Baili. Sure enough, as soon as the ship approached, it was really this guy.

Chang Xile greeted him with a smile, "Why did you come here?" ”

Shen Baili got off the boat, "I must come over for the first time, then again, you are really generous, this dock is built so well, it is no worse than the house." ”

"So I'm poor now, and I'm waiting for you to send me money."

"It's easy to say, I'm going to bring the big ship over this time, I'll take as much as you have, and I'll take everything, brother, I'm righteous enough, right?"

Chang Xile was still smiling, "That's good, we've been ready for a long time." It's just that now that the ship is open, the price has to be calculated separately. ”

Because I knew that the ship was going to be opened, I didn't take too much cargo during the autumn harvest last year, so I waited for the ship to come back after the ship was opened to reduce costs.

Shen Baili was suddenly unhappy, "Look at what I said, we have been doing business together for so many years, and the price has always been like this, how can we say that it will change." Besides, our Shen family has been paying for the freight out of their own pockets, and it is not your money, so it has nothing to do with you. ”

The people of Taoyuan Village who were gathered on the side were immediately unhappy when they heard this, and they saw the God of Wealth, and now their eyes were the same as seeing the profiteers who ate human blood.

Chang Xile did not answer, but looked at Chang Xisheng.

Chang Xisheng said slowly: "The river is now officially passable, and our Taoyuan Village is a place where several branch lines must pass. Some boats even have to pass through here, but my Taoyuan Village is so big, and things are just a little bit ......."

Shen Baili directly waved his hand to interrupt, "Okay, okay, I know that your brother's advantage is not easy to take advantage of." Hmph, now that your wings have grown stiff, you won't eat my threat. ”

Chang Xisheng laughed, "It's like I've eaten it before." ”

Shen Baili snorted, "Why are you becoming more and more unkind to me, the God of Wealth!" ”

After all these years of contact, Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng understand very well what kind of character Shen Baili is, so they can joke casually.

"Why don't you see Brother Pei?" Chang Xile said curiously.

Pei Qingyun Mo looks so arrogant on the outside, but he actually likes to join in the fun, and now he hasn't come over for such a big thing, which is really a bit unexpected. Obviously, he said before that he wanted to take advantage of the boat to come over to see what the legendary Taoyuan Village looked like.

Although they have not seen each other in the past few years, they have always kept in correspondence. Because there is a caravan of the Shen family, although they can't deliver letters frequently, they can always keep in touch.

Shen Baili said impatiently: "Who knows what is wrong with him, he originally said it well, but suddenly he didn't come if he couldn't come." When I went to look for him early in the morning, I didn't even see my face, as if I begged him to come over, and it was clear that my brother was crying and shouting for him to come. ”

Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng glanced at each other, knowing that the two of them were not happy again, and the two of them were getting more and more noisy now, and they were about to stop. I was afraid that it would cause any unpleasantness, so I didn't mention it again.

Shen Baili came in person, and was naturally well entertained. Nowadays, Taoyuan Village has everything, and if you want to eat, you can just grab and pick it, which is very convenient.

Not to mention that Taoyuan Village now has a meat stall, and the business is not bad, and a pig can be consumed every day. People from nearby villages don't bother to come over to sell meat when there is a happy event at home. These are the results of these good days, otherwise most people in the village would not be able to eat meat several times a year, and the meat stalls would not be able to be put up at all.

Shen Baili ate very happily, especially he didn't expect that the pork was so good.

What braised pork, sweet and sour tenderloin, and fish-flavored shredded pork really made him eat chopsticks, not at all like what he had eaten before with an indescribable smell. When I asked, I found out that the pigs here are all castrated, so the taste is very different.

However, although Shen Baili was full of food and drink, he still did not give up in business. He and Chang Xisheng had a verbal war for nearly half a day before the new purchase price was negotiated.

After signing the contract, he began to make noise about eating and drinking, and he didn't know what politeness was.
