Mingcheng couldn't cry or laugh, "Isn't it good for you to live in the backyard?" You and your younger siblings are still young, isn't it good for you two to live your life quietly? ”

"Okay, that's why I want my second brother and sister-in-law to try it too." Mingtang has a posture of "I've already made up my mind anyway, and it's useless for you to say smallpox".

Mingcheng said that he couldn't do it, but in the end, Mingyue really couldn't stand the two brothers, so she simply and rudely folded two straw sticks for them to guess the length, "... If you get the long one, you will live in the front yard, and if you get the short one, you will obediently live in the backyard. ”

Mingtang looked nervous, Mingcheng didn't care - it all depends on luck anyway, which one to draw is not the same.

He raised his hand and wanted to pull one out, but Mingtang quickly pulled the one he wanted to draw.

Mingyue was completely speechless, she spread the remaining one in the palm of her hand and showed it, "Third uncle, your one is longer." ”

Mingtang was overjoyed, jumping and jumping in the house like a child.

Old Man Ming and Mrs. Ming didn't say anything, but the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were all relieved and joyful smiles.

The sons are rushing to live with their old couple, which is the greatest achievement and glory in this life for them as parents.

"Then the eldest and the two live in the house opposite us, the third family lives in the east wing, the second family and the eldest lang, the second family, the third lang, the third lang, the shilang, and jiayan live in the second courtyard at the back, and the third and fourth are empty first."

The old man Ming made the final decision, and the people of the Ming family began to pack up their things and transport them to the new house.

They had already opened a side door on the wall shared by the new house and the old house, so there was no need to go through the gate to move, and the family put on an ox cart and pulled all the items such as tables and chairs, cabinets, dishes and chopsticks, bedding, and farm tools, and then put them in place one by one.

The next thing is to receive guests who come to the door, after all, on the first day of moving, "burning the bottom of the pot" is essential.

Mrs. Ming took her three daughters-in-law to prepare meals in the kitchen, and Mingyue quickly cleaned up, made tea, and then put snacks, dried fruits and sugar cubes.

At the end of the morning (11 o'clock in the morning), Minghe took his son and daughter back to her parents' house, and the "burning pot bottom" gift she gave was two large pork knuckles, which were simple and rude and very affordable.

Following her came the Tao family, the Wang family, the Zheng family, the Tao family sent a pair of pine kang cabinets and two beds of muslin quilt noodles, the Wang family sent a basket of eggs, a knife of meat, two domestic old hens, Ming Ju's family sent a basket of fungus, a basket of mushrooms, two hares, two pheasants, Ming Xu's Yue family and the future, but the Ming Ming Ju family brought two jars of a total of ten catties of self-brewed sorghum wine.

The Huang family, the Xie family, and the Zhou family from the same village as the Ming family came only a little earlier than Li Zheng and Dr. Li, the Huang family sent ten catties of pork and a pair of pillowcases, the Xie family sent two catties of brown sugar and two hens, the Zhou family sent two boxes of walnut crisp and two boxes of trough cakes, and Li Zheng sent a small jar of the most expensive wine sold by the town's wine shop, and Dr. Li sent two pieces of the latest fine cloth of the county town that his daughter brought back.

The arrival of these guests was expected by the Ming family, and the only two guests who surprised them were the He Yaren in the town and the old shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant.

He Yaren came with the old shopkeeper, and the two of them each gave the Ming family two taels of silver for the bottom of the pot as a gift, which was more simple and rude than the two big pork knuckles of Ming He, and made people happy.

Of course, only Mingyue, who used to use "red envelopes" to pass through the Quartet in her previous life, was happy, and the rest of the Ming family was shocked by the two small and cute silver ingots, and the old man Ming forgot to reach out or refuse for a while.

Fortunately, He Yaren and the old shopkeeper have a pair of eight-sided exquisite, good means to make people feel like a spring breeze, the two of you said a few words such as "Come in a hurry, no time to prepare gifts, old brother (Uncle Ming) don't dislike it", "I have long wanted to come to your house to ask for a glass of wine, you must not give us a chance" and so on, the old man Ming was immediately fooled to accept the silver ingots they handed over.

"I also have a gift here, which was specially entrusted to me by our young master." The old man Ming accepted the silver, and the old shopkeeper handed over a carved lacquer box he brought.

The box was in the shape of a long strip, with two silver ingots, two boxes of tea, two pieces of fine cloth, and two boxes of delicate pastries.

The silver ingot is ten taels, and the tea leaves are not ordinary just by looking at the box, compared to the two pieces of muslin of the latest colors that are not cheap, and the exquisite pastries produced by the two time-honored brands in the county town are the most inconspicuous.

"Lao Ming's family is lucky!" Zhou Lizheng was envious and jealous, and the little bubbles in his heart popped up one after another, but he was as miserable as he was, no matter how sour his heart was, he had to hold a cute smile on his face that was not sincere.

First, he can't offend the thriving and promising Ming family, and second, he can't offend the old shopkeeper of Jufu - the famous Jiang family is standing behind the family, and he can't be offended.

Old Man Ming was also as dumbfounded as Zhou Lizheng, but he quickly came back to his senses, "This is too precious!" We have received Young Master Jiang's wishes, so you should take them back again. ”

Mingyue, who was busy choosing vegetables and washing vegetables in the hall, couldn't help but be speechless when she heard this, she beckoned Xiao Mingxue to call, "You go to find our master..."

Ming Xue said "mmmm" twice, and walked into the main landlord's house full of old men with her little short legs.

"Lord, lord." The little girl was about to climb on top of him when she hugged Old Man Ming's legs, and Old Man Ming hurriedly bent down to pick up the little granddaughter.

"Go to the outhouse and play with your eldest sister." While talking, Old Man Ming carried Xiao Mingxue into the hall.

Mingyue was waiting for him, and when she saw Old Man Ming coming out, she hurriedly came to Old Man Ming's side and whispered a few words.

Old Man Ming hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly, "Master knows." ”

Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Old Man Ming listened to persuasion, otherwise she would have to worry about this.

After a while, there were a few words in the room that the old man asked the old shopkeeper to convey his gratitude on his behalf, and the old shopkeeper, who had been trying to persuade the old man Ming, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Several people quickly changed the subject to other things, and Mingdi, Mingcheng, and Mingtang entertained their other relatives and other villagers in Wulitun in other rooms, respectively.

These people who are good friends with the Ming family but are not particularly good, such as the Yu family and Aunt Li's family, the things they send are much simpler, Aunt Li gave the Ming family two catties of brown sugar and twenty eggs, and Yu Shouyi took away a little rooster at home after a quarrel with the Feng family.

In fact, he originally wanted to send two hens, after all, the Ming family had just sent so many potatoes and sweet potatoes to his family not long ago.

But Feng felt that the Ming family was so rich, they should have helped her family, and the Ming family was not inferior to the star given by her family, so he insisted on refusing to let Yu Shouyi take the hen in the family as a favor.

Yu Shouyi saw that she was really reluctant, so he asked her if there were other things suitable for taking away. Who knew that Feng Shi searched for a long time, and finally only got him ten eggs and two radish.

Yu Shouyi almost crooked his mouth in anger, and the two had a big quarrel, and in the end, Yu Shouyi took away the only little rooster in the family under the opposition of everyone in the family.

This is still the trick he used to "never have anything to do with the Ming family again" to threaten Feng and a few children, otherwise he might not even be able to take a single chicken feather.
