Chapter 182: Warming House
The Yuan family came to the new house early in the morning, and first the four uncles of the Yuan family surrounded the hundred-meter-long firecrackers in a circle, and then lit a fire, and the entire Liuli Village was awakened by the crackling sound of the firecrackers.
Old man Yuan took his children and grandchildren to the front yard to help move the table and set the stools, and Yuan Xu took the female relatives of the family to the kitchen to help.
The Qin family came earlier than the Yuan family, and they were already washing rice and vegetables in the kitchen at this time.
Twenty tables of seats, this is not for fun, Qin Lao Neng, Qin Ergouzi, Qiusheng and a few people have been borrowing tables and chopsticks since yesterday, if anyone in the village has a banquet, relying on their own tables and chopsticks will definitely not be enough, they are all borrowed from various families in the village.
Liu Xiaoshu also borrowed people from the kitchen of the Houshan house with Liu's father-in-law, and asked them to go down the mountain to help Tong Shuangxi's family prepare the banquet.
Steward Cai is naturally willing, not for anything else, but for Tong Shuangxi, she also wants to help.
Steward Cai has already led people to prepare for a day yesterday, and now all the meat and vegetables needed for the banquet have been cut and matched, and it only takes the time to burn the six pots together, and the twenty tables of the table will not be a problem.
Mrs. Wang, Qin Wu and others washed rice and vegetables at this time, and made breakfast for their own families.
The Yuan family and the Qin family came to help early in the morning, and they didn't have time to eat breakfast at all, and the three of Wang Pozi and Tong Shuangxi, Tong Shuangshuang's mother-in-law and grandson came over before dawn, and they didn't eat breakfast, and those who came to help had to pad their stomachs when the time came, after all, the banquet was not finished, and they couldn't eat.
When Mrs. Wang, Qin Wu and the others had made breakfast, Steward Cai also brought someone to help.
The three of Wang's mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandson, the Yuan family, and the Qin family, waited for Cai to have breakfast before they started to eat breakfast.
"Everything at the table has to rely on Cai to manage these people, so what's the matter with us people eating late."
These are the words of Yuan Xu.
Mrs. Wang originally felt sorry for the Yuan family, but when she saw the Yuan family say this, she couldn't help but feel more down-to-earth.
After everyone had eaten and drunk, the guests began to come to the door.
Today, Mrs. Wang, Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang, as the main family, have to welcome guests in front of the gate of the new house.
Several uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters-in-law of the Yuan family also followed behind Tong Shuangxi's mother-in-law and grandson, and after Tong Shuangxi's mother-in-law and grandson welcomed the guests, they took the guests to the courtyard and sat down.
The table in the courtyard is already full of melon seeds, tea and snacks, which will not make the guests feel bored.
Most of the guests who came to the door first were workers from the Double Happiness Workshop in the village, and these people had more or less brought some things with them.
The custom of Liuli Village, whoever builds a house and moves to a new house, the person who comes to the door cannot be empty-handed, and brings something more or less, commonly known as "warm house".
"Granny Wang, Xiaoxi Dongjia, Xiaoshuang Young Master, congratulations, happy moving!"
The people in the village didn't pay attention to the three of Wang's mother-in-law and grandson before, but at this time, the three of them became their owners and became the first in the village.
Mrs. Wang, Tong Shuangxi, and Tong Shuangshuang warmly greeted everyone into the courtyard, and the people in the village couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the three of them in their hearts.
It's no wonder that people can get rich, look at other people's minds, if you put yourself aside, you must not treat people who once looked down on you like this......
When the people in the village were almost there, Li Zheng and the village chief also brought the whole family over.
"Hey, I've heard that your family has a new house, and I haven't had time to take a look, so I'm here to take a look!" The village chief's wife pulled Mrs. Wang with a smile and said.
Mrs. Wang smiled and invited the village chief's wife to sit inside, and her face was not half unhappy because of the village chief's wife's words.
The matter of the three of the mother-in-law's mother-in-law and grandson building a house, the more they went to the back, the more gossip was aroused, and the village chief's wife came over a few times, watching the house get bigger and bigger, and the more generous it became, the words in her mouth began to be unpleasant.
It's just that Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi are very busy, and they don't have time to worry about these people, let alone spoil their mood because of these sour words.
Mrs. Lizheng was very kind, took Tong Shuangxi's hand, and introduced her two daughters to her, and then the family was greeted by Old Man Yuan and Yuan Xu.
The next ones to come to the door are the shopkeepers who have business dealings with the Double Happiness Workshop.
Tong Shuangxi asked Qin Ergouzi and Qiusheng to invite these shopkeepers to the specially prepared room one by one, and asked the eldest uncle of the Yuan family and the third uncle of the Yuan family to accompany these shopkeepers to talk.
These shopkeepers heard that these two people were Tong Shuangxi's own uncles, and they thought a little higher in their hearts, and they heard that the prey in the Shuangxi workshop was bought from their family, and they didn't dare to underestimate these two people in their hearts.
When Liu Xiaoshu came over, Tong Shuangxi was startled.
Behind Liu Xiaoshu stood a one-person-high glass mirror, and Liu Xiaoshu's handsome and straight back was clearly reflected in the mirror!
The mirror was carried by two little men, and under the sun, the mirror dazzled people's eyes.
Soon, the people in the courtyard heard the movement and ran over to look at the mirror.
"Tsk! In the end, it is a glass mirror, and the person who looks at it is exactly the same as the real person, you see, you see, even the human hair looks clear. ”
From time to time, the people around let out exclamatory sounds.
Some children in the village felt strange and ran over to look at themselves in the mirror, but their parents were frightened, and they hurriedly encircled the child in their arms and said in a thrilling manner.
"Come back quickly, come back quickly, if it is broken, our family will not be able to afford to smash the pot and sell iron!"
Most of the people in the village use copper mirrors, like this glass mirror has only seen a palm-sized in the shop, like such a one-person high glass mirror is unimaginable!
"You...... What are you? ”
After the surprise, Tong Shuangxi looked at the people who surrounded the door, and couldn't help but feel a little ...... After all, his new house has already aroused jealousy, and coupled with the "limelight" brought by Liu Xiaoshu, Tong Shuangxi's mother-in-law and grandson will not be drowned by people in the village in the future!
Liu Xiaoshu didn't care about this, he pointed to the glass mirror and said: "This is the glass mirror I specially ordered for you from Persia, and in the carriage behind, it is a warm house gift I gave to your family." ”
As soon as Liu Xiaoshu's words were finished, the people around couldn't help but look towards the carriage behind.
The door of the carriage was immediately opened by a servant, revealing a variety of delicate and shiny objects, including a blue and white porcelain vase, and a screen embroidered with the pattern of a lady with twelve golden hairpins...... Even the spittoon jar was inlaid with gold wire coils......
Everyone in the village knew that Liu Xiaogonggong was the other owner of the Double Happiness Workshop, but they didn't expect this Liu Xiaogonggong to be like this to the three of them......
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xiaogonggong was a eunuch, the people in the village would have misunderstood.
