Ji Jingbai continued: "In this basket is a gift for the uncle and the third uncle's family. As he spoke, he looked at Ye Guoguo, "The matter of you marrying me is handled by the uncle, and the third uncle has also helped a lot." Look at Ji Daya again, "You have been taken care of by the uncle and the third uncle for so many years, and you should thank them." ”

After a pause, he said, "When we come back from worship, we will go and thank them." ”

After going to the mountain to worship his grandparents and father, Ji Jingbai took Ye Guoguo and Ji Daya, and brought gifts to the uncle and third uncle's house to express his gratitude.

The gifts for the two families are the same, a small jar of wine, a bag of sugar, two catties of pork, five catties of white flour, five catties of polished rice, and ten feet of cloth of one color.

This kind of ceremony, in the eyes of the peasant family, is already very, very heavy.

This time, I went to Da Bo Ji Mountain's house first.

When Ji Shan saw the ceremony, he was taken aback and asked Ji Jingbai to take it back quickly, but Ji Jingbai naturally refused, and Ji Daya also kowtowed to Ji Shan and Ji Shan's daughter-in-law.

Ji Shan's old face collapsed, but Ji Shan's daughter-in-law, Gu Shi, immediately turned red, and together with her 14-year-old daughter Ji Mingyue, she quickly helped Ji Daya up.

"Okay, good, good boy, get up, your brother is back, and you will have a good life in the future." It was so bitter before, Gu's eldest aunt couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help but be happy for Ji Daya in the future.

Ji Daya's eyes were also red when she was made.

Ye Guoguo didn't speak, just stood obediently next to her father-in-law.

Ji Shan saw that his daughter-in-law and daughter pulled Ji Daya and sat down again, so he said to Ji in surprise: "I went to your house in the morning and wanted you to come to dinner tonight, but you and your daughter-in-law went to the town to pick up the big girl, and I didn't tell you, and now it's the same." I saw you busy at home and outside the house before, and only now I call you to eat, how rare it is for you to come back, so many years, you must give this face to your uncle. ”

Gu Shi smiled: "Yes, yes, you must come to dinner tonight, it just so happens that Minghui will come back today, and then your brothers will have a good chat in the evening." ”

In addition to Ji Mingyue's daughter, Ji Shan and Gu's also have a son named Ji Minghui.

Ji Minghui is one year younger than Ji Jingbai, he is studying in the town school, he can come back once a month, stay for two days, he has been admitted to Xiucai, and he is preparing to take the exam in August this year.

The reason why Ji Shan became the head of the village has a lot to do with his son Ji Minghui's admission to Xiucai.

These ten miles and eight villages are also Ji Minghui's talent.

However, because Ji Minghui is dedicated to studying, wants to be an official, and has no intention of marrying a wife, and Ji Shan also hopes that he can be more glorious, so Ji Shan has not yet married a wife for him.

Reading is very expensive, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and everything is expensive, and Ji Shan's family has not had a good time.

But because his son is the only talent in Shili Eight Village, there are many people who help his family, so although the family is not having a good time, they can get by.

"My brother often exaggerates that Brother Tang is a material for reading, it's a pity......" Ji Mingyue just started talking, but quickly stopped talking.

Ye Guoguo blinked and didn't speak.

Ji Shan sighed and said: "Surprised, if you didn't go to the army, let alone show your talents, you must have been admitted to the exam, I think back then, the gentlemen in the school who didn't praise you, all said that you are the best talent, you will be three yuan and the first, and then you don't even want to pay the bundle, and give you a room to live in, all of them have the heart to cultivate you." I still remember that when you first went to join the army, there was a gentleman in the school who came to look for you at home, and they all scolded me and your third uncle for being confused, why did you go. ”
