Chapter 183: Celebration

Seeing the changes before and after Chen's life, although Chen Jitang felt that Chen's eyes, the "aunt passing by and begging for water", looked at him a little too eagerly, but he still followed the etiquette and sent Chen out of the door, while he continued to feed the pigs.

He felt like he had to hurry.

The road in the village has been paved for more than two months, and it will be completed in a few days. He couldn't miss such an important moment.

Chen put the basket on his back, and when he came out, he pulled Li Sanjin, who was peeking behind the big tree and was now a little blushing, and strode forward.

After walking out of a distance, Chen covered his chest and said, "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless", and then pulled Li Sanjin and said excitedly: "I guess you saw it just now, although this person is not outstanding, but he has all the beards and tails, and he is really a neat person." Don't you see that he raised those pigs, which were oily and slippery, and it was estimated that they would be slaughtered before the year. With this condition, it can definitely be sold for a good price. ”

After taking a breath, he continued: "In the future, when you get married, you will build a place to live by yourself." Learn to do this, raise ten pigs, and you don't have to worry about your livelihood for a year. ”

Saying that, regardless of Li Sanjin, whose face was even redder, continued: "If you want to say that this kid is also very polite to people, he is definitely not that bastard." It's really a bodhisattva's blessing, you have a good home, even if your mother dies immediately, you can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Li Sanjin hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say anything about whether you will die or not, I will go out in a while, and you will be tired again by then." It's just that you must be optimistic about your younger brothers and sisters, and don't let your father have those thoughts again. There are twenty taels of silver at home, which is enough for him to toss for a few years. Besides, anyway, the two of us are not far away, and this person's house is said to be only two acres of land. When we are free, call him over to help, and I think he will be willing. ”

While walking and chatting, the mother and daughter returned home happily.

I have to say that although Li Cripple did evil, this time he was crooked and found a good family for Li Sanjin. However, a routine like this is simply not replicable.

It's no wonder that Chan keeps saying that the Bodhisattva blesses.

After feeding the pigs, Chen Jitang locked the door, picked up the apricot tree dug on the mountain, and walked towards the entrance of the village. Such a day is a real day. Tired is indeed tired, but there is a rush.

Just a few days ago, according to the rules of marriage, he and the Li family went through all the procedures, and they also knew that the girl of the Li family, that is, his wife who had not passed through the door, was now living in dire straits.

Now, she's his mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, he wanted to cut a few catties of meat to send to the Li family after planting the tree. Although he may not be able to eat much of these meat Li Sanjin, it is always his heart.

Looking at the flat and spacious stone road, Fan Shi said to Da Niu Ma while drinking water: "How else do you say that people have to look forward." You said that if you go back a few years, I would never have imagined that our Chenjia Village would be where it is today. On this day, it can be regarded as being in the city. ”

The big cow mother led the people in the duck and duck village kitchen to cook in full swing.

Of course, there was a separate pot next to it, and a few large stick bones were put in the pot early in the morning, and after the soup was boiled, a few more slices of chopped cabbage were thrown in, and a fire was hung below.

If anyone is thirsty, he should take a bowl and drink it.

This soup has a pure taste, and there is oil and meat, and Da Niu Ma only puts a little Maomao salt, so it is both thirst-quenching and delicious, and it is very popular.

The villagers also knew that it was not easy for the people in Yaya Township to cook, so they all spontaneously took the family's bowl and marked it aside. After eating, they also washed themselves, which greatly reduced their burden.

Hearing this, Da Niu's mother echoed and said, "Yes, as long as people are not lazy, they will never starve to death." When the shops in the village are repaired, then it will be applauded. ”

Speaking of which, this is already very face-saving for Fan's.

Since the Stone Table incident, Da Niu's mother discovered Fan's hypocrisy after a little thought. It's just that everyone doesn't look up and look down after all, so it's not good to tear their faces.

In addition, Fan is not strictly annoying, but he is scheming. As long as you take precautions, it's actually very worry-free to get along. At least unlike Aunt Zha and Huang, they can't communicate and can only be blacklisted.

Anyway, everyone doesn't eat in the same pot as her, so just pay attention to it.

After lunch, Chen Jitang finished eating, and while everyone was resting, he hurried to the city to buy meat with the silver.

When I arrived at the place where Da Niu's mother said, I reported my name, and the butcher really said: "Well, they are all acquaintances, don't worry, I will keep some good ones for you." ”

As he spoke, he slashed with his knife, and cut off a strip of meat that was fat and thin, with more fat. When I passed the scale, it was just four catties.

That's a good deal.

Chen Jitang paid the silver, and went to the shop that sold baked cakes to buy a few catties of cheap sorghum sugar, thinking that the children of the Li family would not be disgusted. After tidying up again, I hurried back.

Everyone felt sorry for him that he was about to get married, but he didn't have a place to live, so they all agreed that he would no longer participate in planting apricot trees, but would pay his own money to hire craftsmen to build a house.

The land was specially approved by the village, not far from Chen Jixing's pigsty. Since Chen Jitang was willing to give the silver, the craftsmen had already transported the bricks and stones one after another, and they were waiting for the start of work this afternoon.

It's strange to say, some people have opinions on Chen Wumei's share of money, but Chen Jitang got these benefits, but no one objected. Ye Feng was puzzled, but Chen Qianshan solved his doubts.

said a thousand things, but it is not that she dislikes the identity of Chen Wumei's abandoned wife.

It's no wonder that so many women, even if they are not happy, would rather die than be abandoned. In the final analysis, this time and space is still a little unfair to women.

Chen Jitang was windy at his feet, and when he walked to the entrance of Lijia Village, he was a little restrained. I thought that if I blatantly came to the door like this, it would be bad if the other party was not happy.

After thinking about it, he took out four or five pieces from one of the packets of sorghum candy, found a half-grown child with a runny nose and said, "Come, uncle will give you candy to eat, but you also have to do one thing for your uncle, okay?" ”

Seeing that there was candy to eat, the child had already reassured himself of all his vigilance and nodded hurriedly. In these years, it would be good not to starve to death, and it is naturally a good thing to have sugar to eat.

Chen Jitang asked, "Is there a girl named Li Sanjin in this village?" ”

The boy took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth, and as he ate it, he said, "Yes, yes." That's right in front of you, and that's the room. ”

Chen Jitang looked in the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a thatch not far away, and it seemed that he had not taken the wrong path. In order not to send the wrong person, Chen Jitang had a little more heart and continued to ask: "Then what is the name of this Miss Li's father?" ”

"Her father, her name is Li Cripple."

Chen Jitang saw that the information was correct, so he put the meat into his hand and said, "You go and send these meat and sugar to them now, just say that Chen Jitang from Chenjia Village sent them." Then, all these pieces of sugar are yours. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few more chunks from one of the packets of sorghum sugar.

The child was as happy as something, and ran to Li's house with meat and candy in his arms.

When I arrived at Li Cripple's house, Li Cripple was sitting on a bamboo chair under the eaves basking in the sun. Recently, the work in the field has been completed, and he has received twenty taels of dowry silver, and his heart is beautiful.

Seeing Li Yong, the son of Li Ergou's family, carrying a large piece of meat and three packs of paper-wrapped things into the yard, Li Lizi stood up suddenly and asked, "Yongwa, who asked you to send this?" ”

That's not a light gift.

However, on second thought, his family did not have such generous relatives. Don't send it to the wrong place, right?

Li Ergou's family is also so poor, it is absolutely impossible to be so kind to send food to his family. That piece of meat is so long, looking at at least three or four catties, it is worth a lot of money.

Hearing this, Li Yong said, "Just now an uncle gave me a few pieces of candy and asked me to send these to you." ”

Chen was washing dishes in the kitchen, and when he heard someone sending something, he hurriedly came out and asked, "Yongwa, tell your aunt, who asked you to send this?" ”

"He said he was from Chenjia Village, and his name was Chen Jitang." Li Yong replied honestly.

"Chen, Chen Jitang? Ah, this, isn't this our future uncle? Chen was shocked, and hurriedly went out of the yard to take a look, but there was still Chen Jitang's shadow, so he had to go to the kitchen with the meat.

But Li Lame smiled proudly: "This kid has a conscience and knows how to honor us." Dick, come out quickly, there is sugar to eat. ”

After a while, all the children of the Li family came out, and the sons were all okay, at least dressed warmly. The daughters are a little weak, and their clothes are patched.

Seeing that it was both sugar and meat, the family was very happy. It's been a long time since they've seen a piece of meat this big.

Even if it's the New Year, it's just a meaning. After all, it is to worship God, and you can't do it without meat. But there is no more. This meat is enough for them to eat a few meals.

The fourth sister of the Li family said while eating sugar: "Mother, when I grow up, I will also marry in Chenjia Village." The words made Li Cripple and Chen laugh for a while, and Li Cripple even praised her for her ambition.

However, she turned out to be a prophecy. Later, after Li Sanjin's introduction, she did marry into Chenjia Village and became neighbors with her sister.

In the evening, Chen boldly made a comeback and cut half of the four catties of meat sent by Chen Jitang. Of course, there are more fat ones, less thin ones, and they are cut into large pieces. I also fished some pickled celery and pickled ginger and pepper from the pickle jar.

Li Sanjin went to the back of the house and took a Chinese cabbage, added a handful of sweet potato vermicelli, and stewed a big pot.

The family gathered around the table, eating meat and vermicelli, and felt very happy.

Li Sanjin even cried quietly while eating, she Li Sanjin has lived a hard life for more than ten years, and she has suffered a lot in the past few years, which can be regarded as bitter.

On the other side, Chen Jitang was not idle, and returned home to rush to direct the workers to start work. Because time was too tight, he said to the craftsmen: "I am a rough man, and I don't want anything to look good or bad." Except that the exterior should be built according to the house next door, the interior of the house should be affordable. ”

Although the Ye family paid the silver in advance after learning that he was married, the twenty taels had now gone into Li Cripple's pocket, that is, his savings were only forty taels. After thinking about it, Chen Jitang decided to build a two-story small building first, a floor with three rooms, and a large courtyard.

Because it is a brick structure, Chen Jitang only needs to be strong and durable, so it is not complicated. In addition, the craftsmen knew that he was in a hurry to marry, and saw that he was an honest man, so they all began to work wholeheartedly.

If you want to say that there are many recent projects in Chenjia Village, they don't dare to be sloppy. If the quality is not good and there is a bad reputation, Chenjiacun will definitely not invite them again in the future. They have heard that many houses will be built next year in Chenjia Village by the big lake.

Chen Jitang knew in his heart that his house was just supporting the scene of marriage, but in fact, he didn't want to build a house in such a hurry. But the matchmaker and many neighboring aunts said that women have a good face. No matter how virtuous a woman is, she is not willing to live in a pigsty as soon as she gets married.

That's when he got the idea of building a house.

But also, when the time comes, the wedding wine will not be placed in the pigsty.

In this way, the villagers spontaneously paved the road, Chen Jitang asked craftsmen to build houses, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Until this day, the road was still a few meters away from connecting to the official road, and Ye Ermei, who was burning the fire, suddenly felt that her stomach hurt, and she screamed out as soon as she twitched it.

"I, my stomach hurts......"

When the big cow mother who was stir-frying heard this, she hurriedly put down the spatula, wiped her hand on the apron, walked up to Ye Ermei to check it, and said quite experiencedly: "Ah, this is going to be born!" But it doesn't matter, I guess there will be some time, so let's go back and rest first. ”

Supporting Ye Ermei to lie on the firewood, Da Niu's mother yelled in her voice: "Chen Qianshan, Chen Qianshan, come here, push your carriage over, your mother-in-law is going to give birth to a baby, hurry up." ”

Ye was playing with a few children over there, and since Qianyu had lost it before, she was extra careful when she was taking her son now.

The villagers saw that Ye's children were very delicate, and they ate snacks from time to time, so they sent their children over to Ye's to watch.

Ye saw that he couldn't help, so he agreed.

When he heard that his sister-in-law was about to give birth, he hurriedly called Chen Qianshan, who was still paving the road seriously.

Chen Qianshan originally wanted to carry Ye Ermei all the way home, but Ye refused, only saying that he was afraid of falling the fetus. Hearing this, Chen Qianshan didn't dare to be careless, so he put Ye Ermei in the carriage and rushed back.

As for his mother, Liu, she had already run away and asked Wen Po to go. In the end, it was her first grandchild.

And Ye Ermei's two sisters-in-law have some bad feelings in their hearts. If you want to say how people have this luck, it is typical to go ashore first late.

Ye Ermei, who was lying on the mattress, said while pinching Chen Qianshan's hand: "Sister, I'm in so much pain." Here, it's like it's going to crack. Why hasn't my mother come back yet, ah, it's painful for me, ah......"

Listening to Ye Ermei's cry of pain, Chen Qianshan was sweating profusely, but he was at a loss. Seeing this, Ye pushed him out and asked him to prepare boiling water and boil a few eggs for Ye Ermei to eat by the way.

Here, Second Sister Ye just ate the eggs, and Wen Po came over there, which shows how fast Liu's speed is. After thinking about it, it was actually prepared a long time ago.

She washed her hands, then walked straight in, looked at Ye Ermei's stomach quite experienced, touched it a few more times, and said to Liu with a smile: "Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is very good." Well, the kid's head is downward, and it's nothing but a little bigger. With this appearance, he looks like a kid. ”

These words made Liu happy, his face was smiling, and he said with a smile: "Ouch, then I will borrow your auspicious words, and I will trouble you more for a while, and I will give you a big seal at the end." ”

However, Ye Shi was very uneasy when he heard it.

Wen Po's words obviously mean that this child is too big, and it will not be easy to give birth later. Thinking that his sister-in-law was going to suffer, Ye's eyes turned red.

Think about Ye's family, Ye Ermei had a surprisingly good appetite during pregnancy, she ate everything, and she couldn't stop eating it. For this reason, Ye also joked with her if she wanted to make up for everything she hadn't eaten before.

Knowing this, she would have stopped her a little in the first place, and she would have suffered less in the end.

Sure enough, when the attack came, Ye Ermei couldn't give birth to the child with a lot of effort, and Chen Qianshan was so frightened that his feet were weak. For the first time, he felt that it was not easy to have a baby.

Chen Jiqin was even more nervous to the point where he pinched his hand and got bleeding marks. To say that this is his daughter-in-law's birth, and not his mother-in-law's birth, there is no need to be so nervous. However, the thought that this was his first grandson kept going back and forth.

Fortunately, Ye Ermei is usually idle, and she often works during pregnancy. Today, for example, she's still helping with the fire. Therefore, her physical strength is still very good.

In addition, Wen Po just said that she was pregnant with a son, so she was very sober.

Every time she hurts, she thinks of her mother Lin, and her eldest sister has worked hard to give birth to a son. Now, she has her first child, which means that there will be almost no pressure in the future.

I wish that the heavens would obey the wishes of the people.

Thinking of this, Ye Ermei obediently cooperated with Wen Po to adjust her breathing, and thought about her future life and the cuteness of the baby. I tossed it like this for most of the day, at ten o'clock in the evening, when the sunset was full. With a loud cry, she finally succeeded.

Maybe she was too tired, Ye Ermei fell asleep after giving birth. Wen Po and Ye helped clean up again until the evening.

After doing this, Liu Shi took the place of his superiors and went out with his cleaned grandson to show the two men who were waiting outside and were almost collapsing.

That night, the Liu family did not go home, and lived directly at Ye Ermei's house, which was called helping, but in fact, it was to see his grandson. Her first two daughters-in-law were not angry, and they have not moved yet.

However, Ye Ermei came from behind, not only was she the first to get pregnant, but now she also gave birth to a son. Holding the child, Liu only felt that she couldn't see enough, she now has a grandson, and she will have the capital to chat with everyone in the future.

Chen Jiqin and Chen Qianshan were even more happy and smirked all the time, even Wen Po's money was given by the Ye family. The family's attention is all on the children.

Seeing this, Ye Shi felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Until now, no one has asked how the mother is doing.

During Ye Ermei's confinement, the road in Chenjia Village was completely completed.

Originally, it had already been paved, but at Ye Feng's suggestion, they found a few experienced old craftsmen to polish and maintain the road surface, and reinforced those flaws that were easy to break first.

Now the stone road in the entire Chenjia Village is clear, and the apricot trees on both sides of Rao are not yet grown, but they are already a landscape.

During this period, Chen Jitang's new house was also built as scheduled, a beautiful two-story building, with the same appearance as the newly repaired houses in the village, with the same white walls and tiles, which looked very beautiful.

Chen Jitang hurriedly went to the city to buy beds, tables, chairs, pots and pans, and did not buy the rest. The villagers knew that his savings were almost spent, so they didn't laugh at her.

On the first day of marriage, according to custom, Li Sanjin's mother's family came to see each other. After the introduction, it turned out to be Li Sanjin's aunt and brother in the lobby. Da Niu's mother took pity on Chen Jitang and had no relatives at home, so she acted as Chen Jitang's eldest sister to help receive him.

Li Sanjin's aunt and cousin were already very surprised when they walked on the newly paved stone road, until they saw Chen Jitang's newly built two-story building, and they were even more shocked and speechless.

Li Sanjin's aunt is okay, but her cousin is a little jealous in his heart, thinking that Li Sanjin's dead girl is just an old girl, and she is not worthy of Chen Jitang at all, if only his sister-in-law married.

The second day was the big day for Chen Jitang to get married, but Chen Jifa came up with a way to save money for Chen Jitang, that is, the village also held a flowing water banquet on this day to celebrate the construction of the ancestral hall and school hall in the village, and paved the road.

In the end, Ye Ermei's family also agreed to hold the full moon wine on this day.

Considering that Chen Jitang's house did not have a venue, Ye Feng proposed: "Since it is a flowing water seat, then we will do it on this stone road, which is spacious and beautiful." On this road, as many people can sit, you can sit down. ”

Everyone thought that this was also the case, and the people who wanted to do happy events happened to live together, so each household sent someone to help move out all their tables, chairs and benches, and set them up one by one.

The people in the Yaya Township Kitchen are even more busy with their feet on the ground, busy making delicious food. Because there are too many people this time, so at the suggestion of the big cow's mother, the people of the Yaya Township Kitchen are automatically dispersed, and a stove is set up every few tens of meters, mainly with the help of the little daughters-in-law of each family, and the people of the Yaya Township Kitchen are just doing technical guidance. In particular, there are some big dishes that are ultimately made by them.

Since the road has been repaired, it is so convenient to drive the ox cart to the city to buy it, which not only shortens the time, but also does not have to be bumpy. Therefore, it did not take much time to buy

The whole village came, and they sat for a mile, and from a distance, it looked like a long flowing dragon.

Looking at this beautiful scene, Ye Feng said to Chen Jifa: "Village Chief, don't you think this is good?" When we are fully prepared, when there are many people who come to play, we can make a banquet like this and invite visitors to try it, and of course, everyone needs to pay a certain amount of silver. We calculated in advance, and there is absolutely only one profit and no loss. ”

When Chen Jifa heard this, his eyes lit up.

In fact, it didn't cost much money to pave the road this time, and if you want to talk about the expenses, it is to eat, drink and spend money on stone slabs. The rest were all villagers who volunteered to help, and there was no overhead. He can't wait to hurry up to the next year, when the spring flowers are blooming, so that he can build a house by the lake.

The representative sent by Li's cripple family was also completely fascinated by this scene, and at the same time felt that it was incredible. Speaking of which, this Chenjia Village is similar to them, and there is one more big lake and a big mountain.

I haven't heard of any difference in the past few years, so why did you become so rich all of a sudden.

On this flowing water feast, their mouths are full of oil, and the taste is almost the same as that of the restaurants in the city. There is also a Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan, who sent someone to deliver a few dishes and snacks halfway, although they didn't taste it, they heard a news that made them excited.

It turned out that the expensive longevity fruit sold in the city was actually produced in Chenjia Village!

Now, they are in-laws with Chenjiacun, does it mean that they also have the opportunity to get seeds?

Thinking of this, Li Sanjin's cousin began to get excited.
