Chapter 136: You are the daughter-in-law of my Li family
Of course, the most important thing is to invite the village chief, with him in charge, things in Shangliang must go smoothly, and it also seems to be more face-saving.
Even the village chief looked down on them a few points, and saw that other people dared to chew their tongues behind their backs, did they come to find trouble?
After dinner, Wang Xiao said: "All the people in the village who should be invited have been invited, only the village chief's house, we have to go in person!" ”
Li Shuren nodded and agreed: "I'll go there myself in a while!" ”
"I'll just go with Brother Baoping, Uncle Li, you have bad legs and feet, just rest at home."
Wang Daoren is rarely with his daughter, he will do whatever his daughter does, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, your brother has bad legs and feet, so I will rest at home." ”
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and looked at him helplessly: "Dad, you don't have to go, you also have a wound on your leg, think I don't know?" ”
"How do you know?"
Wang Xiao glanced at Li Baoping: "You live in the same room with him, can he find out that you have old injuries?" ”
Wang Daoren reacted at this time, no wonder he felt that the old injury had improved a lot after that night, and he felt that someone had pressed it for him in a daze, he only thought he was dreaming before, it turned out that it was really Li Baoping, this kid pressed him.
Although I was a little satisfied with him in my heart, this kid talked too much, why should I tell Xiaoxiao about this kind of thing, and let her worry in vain?
"It's all ** sick, it's not in the way, and besides, I haven't seen Lao Gu for a long time, go and see."
Wang Xiao knew that he was worried about the two young men going, and the village chief didn't buy it, so she was moved in her heart for a while, and she couldn't bear to caress him.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the village chief's house together, the village chief's family had just eaten dinner and cleaned up.
Seeing them coming, Aunt Gu immediately greeted her: "Why are you here, come into the house and sit!" ”
Since picking up the herbs at Wang Xiao's place, the situation in their family has improved a lot, and the grandson can eat a few more bites of meat, so she naturally treats Wang Xiao kindly.
Xiao An also came around, and a pair of clear eyes flickered at Wang Xiao: "Sister Xiaoxiao, are you here to find my grandfather?" ”
Wang Xiao touched his head, touched a handful of sugar from his purse and handed it to him: "Take it and eat it, where is your grandfather?" ”
She is greedy herself, and she always carries nuts and sugar on her body, and she will give some when she sees the children in the village, and the children in the village like her.
Xiao An happily took the candy and pointed to the room: "I'm looking at things, laughing, you guys go in!" ”
Lan Village is not big, the village is poor, and although he is the village chief, the situation at home is not much better than that of other villagers.
Every time he went to the county government to report routinely, he was always ridiculed by other village chiefs.
Now that the county government has received news, it turned out to be a compliment to him, how could he not be happy.
It is said that he is a good ruler, leading the whole village to earn money and reduce the burden on the court.
All this is not because Wang Xiao's workshop and Li Baoping led the villagers up the mountain to pick mountain goods.
Seeing them come in now, the village chief naturally smiled: "Sit down, sit down, why did you come here at this time?" I had long wanted to go to Brother Wang's chatter, but I haven't been idle yet! ”
"I haven't seen you for so many years, Brother Gu is still so energetic!"
"I'm getting old, but you went to the barracks, and your body is a lot stronger."
……
The two talked for a while, and then they talked about the matter of going to Liang tomorrow, and the village chief smiled "haha": "I should be a big deal, don't worry, I will definitely go tomorrow." ”
Aunt Gu also said that she would take her daughter-in-law to help early tomorrow, and now that her eldest son is back, she followed Li Baoping up the mountain to pick mountain goods, and her two sons were by her side, she didn't know how happy she was.
On the way back for the three of them, Wang Daoren looked puzzled: "This village chief is much easier to talk than many years ago, I remember that when I was at home, I asked him to buy a piece of land, and it took a lot of effort to write a paperwork." ”
Wang Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, a little proud, she didn't expect that in order to make money for herself, she would help Lan Village so much, and even the village chief would think highly of them.
But Li Baoping said very seriously: "The village chief has always been like this!" ”
Early the next morning, many aunts and sisters in the village came to help, picking vegetables and scrubbing.
There are common tables, chairs, benches and chopsticks in the village, all of which are used to hold banquets for people in the village.
In the main hall of the new house, there is an offering table, and the offerings on the table are just placed, including a pig's head, a pig's tail, a whole pig, and a red lacquer sacrificial plate containing fish, goose, tofu, eggs, etc., in addition, there are 24 bowls of other dishes, and 12 kinds of fruits.
There are couplets pasted on the pillars on both sides, which read, "Shangliang Xin coincides with the Zodiac Day, and the column meets the purple microstar," the couplet was written by Li Baoping, and those who knew and did not know how to read in the village praised the good writing.
As the sun gradually rose, more and more people came to the Li family, they ate melon seeds, chatted, and sighed about the earth-shaking changes in the Li family.
"The things on the sacrificial table are all meaningful, only his family is real!"
"The Li family now has Wang Xiao's help, and some of them are money, and they will care about this thing, so naturally they want to do it perfectly."
"To marry a daughter-in-law like Wang Xiao, Daddy Li will wake up laughing in his dreams!"
"Who would have thought that the little girl who was so submissive before would be so capable now."
……
Wang Daoren listened to these words, and was very relieved, without his father by his side, and his mother was like that, Wang Xiao could still look so good and capable, and he was also very face-saving as a father!
After arriving at the auspicious time, there are highly respected people in the village who preside over the sacrifice, first chanting "Shangliang Wen", which means begging for a solid foundation and peace for a long time.
Then there is the worship of the ancestors, this is the place of the Li family, and naturally the people of the Li family come to worship.
Li Baozhen was not there, so Li Shuren took Li Baoping to worship.
As soon as the two of them knelt down, Li Baoping shouted: "Wait a minute!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, everything was ready, just wait for the ancestors to worship the ancestors and then go to the beam, which one is Li Xiaofuzi playing?
I saw him stand up, stride out of the hall with his head held high, and come to Wang Xiao: "You are also together!" ”
Everyone's eyes immediately looked over, in Lan Village, there has never been a precedent for women to worship their ancestors.
Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed: "This is not very good!" ”
Li Baoping's expression was firm: "You are the daughter-in-law of my Li family, why can't you worship the ancestors of the Li family?" ”
