What the Yan family father and son didn't expect was that the first to come to the Yan family today were Liu Butcher and his son.

Just finished breakfast, Yan Liqiang, Yan Dechang, and Steward Lu and Zhou Tiezhu were chatting in the house, and heard someone knocking on the door, and the Lu family guards outside the courtyard opened the door, and the guards of the Lu family didn't know who Liu Butcher's father and son were, but Liu Butcher's father and son drove the ox cart, and the ox cart was still pulling things, plus Liu Butcher smiled heaps, saying that they were neighbors in Liuhe Town, and they came to say hello to the Yan family, and the Lu family guards also let Liu Butcher's father and son come in, and brought the two people to the house.

"Is it you?" Seeing Liu Butcher's father and son walking in, Yan Liqiang thought that their father and son had gone to the wrong door, and Yan Dechang, who was originally in a good mood with a smile on his face, slowly retracted the expression on his face.

The smile on Liu Butcher's face was so sweet that he could almost attract all the flies flying in the yard outside, and he took his son and nodded and greeted the people in the house, " Yesterday, I heard that Liqiang won the first place in the top three in the Guoshu County Examination this time, I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night, early this morning, I took my son, received a good pig, slaughtered it early, washed it clean, and sent it to the house, it is a little heart, our father and son used to eat too much candle oil and were blindfolded, even the eyes were confused, if there is something offended, please also ask Brother Yan and Liqiang not to take it to heart, the neighborhood in this street, if Brother Yan has something in the future, just call it!"

The so-called killing is not a nod to the ground, Yan Dechang was not the kind of person who was cautious, at this time, seeing Liu Butcher's father and son coming to the door to deliver things, Yan Dechang was very happy, the original contradiction with Liu Butcher had dissipated most of it, and his face eased down, but Yan Dechang had a straightforward personality, and for a while, although his anger disappeared a lot, he couldn't change his face immediately, and Liu Butcher's smiling face.

Yan Liqiang glanced at Yan Dechang, who was speechless, and knew that his father was a little unaccustomed to dealing with such a scene, so he laughed and said to Liu Butcher, "Uncle Liu is polite, Dafu and I have been playmates since childhood, a little festival when I was a child, a little conflict between neighbors, how many years have this been, who will take it to heart, I can't remember, you say yes, Dafu!"

Liu Dafu, the son of Liu Butcher, also entered the house and drooped his head, looking at the people in the room timidly, he didn't expect Yan Liqiang to take the initiative to talk to him, and suddenly stammered a little nervously, nodding vigorously, "Yes...... Be...... Be...... Don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart......"

"Uncle Liu, sit down, sit down......"

At this time, if Yan Liqiang was arrogant and even gave him two slaps, Liu Butcher would feel relaxed in his heart, and the more polite Yan Liqiang was, the more nervous Liu Butcher was in his heart, I don't know why, he looked at Yan Liqiang with a smile on his face at this time, and always felt that Yan Liqiang was more in awe and fear than when he sent meat to Hong's house before and saw the staring old man Hong.

Although Yan Liqiang called him Uncle Liu in his mouth, Liu Butcher didn't dare to really regard himself as Yan Liqiang's uncle, he still understood the proportions of this, and he also knew that this biting dog didn't bark, and the man-eating tiger didn't look more fierce than a cat before he didn't eat people.

"Don't sit, don't sit, the things I pulled are still on the ox cart outside, I'll move the things in......" As he spoke, Liu Butcher pulled him out of the room and was about to move things.

Yan Liqiang, Yan Dechang and others also walked out of the room.

The gate of the Yan family's yard was opened, and Liu Butcher walked in directly with the ox cart, on which a whole big fat pig was pulled, and there were some bottles and cans, which seemed to be just made by Liu Butcher early in the morning.

"There are too many pigs, and we can't eat them all, if Uncle Liu has a heart, just keep a pork leg!"

"Not much, not much, some meat is kept first, eat fresh, and the rest is pickled first, I also went to buy salt, wine, and chili noodles, peppercorns, and fragrant powder this morning, and I and Dafu will get it in a while, and I will have this bit of craftsmanship!" Liu Butcher said while hurriedly moving things under the car, and Zhou Hongda and his wife hurriedly went over to help.

In addition to killing pigs, the cured meat he made is also very famous in Liuhe Town, it can be placed for a longer time, and it tastes good.

Seeing that Butcher Liu had indeed prepared all the things, and even bought new hooks for hanging the cured meat, Yan Liqiang didn't say anything anymore and let him and his son get it.

Seeing that Yan Liqiang no longer shirked, Liu Butcher and his son came to their senses, and after carrying the pork to the back kitchen, they worked hard in the kitchen.

Lu Wenbin is a good person, old-fashioned, just now Liu Butcher and Yan family father and son said a few words, he basically guessed the relationship between Liu Butcher and Yan family father and son, when Liu Butcher and father and son were making cured meat in the kitchen, he also deliberately stayed in the kitchen for a while, and then came out of the kitchen, came to Yan Liqiang, and whispered, "I have checked the meat and raw materials, tasted them, there is no problem, I have asked Zhou Hongda to watch them in the kitchen!"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "When they leave in a while, except for one leg, how much should the rest be paid, counting the labor, Steward Lu, you can estimate it, and pay the money to their father and son......"

"It's still Yan Gongzi who thinks thoughtfully!" Steward Lu also laughed, the Yan family at this moment, there is indeed no need to leave people with the root of chewing their tongues for such a little thing, "Yesterday, after knowing that Yan Gongzi won the first place in the top three in the national arts examination, I have already asked people to go to the Lu family to inform him, and it is estimated that after a while, the sixth master will personally bring a congratulatory gift to Yan Gongzi to say hello!"

"Old Man Lu and Sixth Master are too polite!"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that yesterday Old Man Lu knew that Yan Gongzi won the top three, and he was even happier than Yan Gongzi himself, but yesterday Yan Gongzi's reputation spread in Qinghe County, knowing that Yan Gongzi has not yet been engaged to marry, I think the matchmaker who came to the door in the past few days is afraid to break through the threshold of the Yan family!" Steward Lu seemed to be joking, but what was hinting in his words.

"Matchmaker or something, just send them away when you come to Steward Lu, I think this kind of thing depends on fate, the words of the matchmaker are too forceful...... "Yan Liqiang smiled, and Steward Lu glanced at each other, both of them were a little tacit, the meaning of the Lu family, at this time, if Yan Liqiang still didn't understand, it would be too dull, and for Yan Liqiang's answer, Steward Lu was also very satisfied, this is the attitude that the aunt of the Lu family should have.

Liu Tuhu and his son were still busy in the kitchen, and other neighbors who came to the door, big families in Liuhe Town, and big families with heads and faces in neighboring towns came in waves.

In the neighborhoods here, many Yan family fathers and sons usually know each other, but there are also unfamiliar ones, and they still sent things to the Yan family at this time.

Some neighbors sent fresh vegetables from the field and their yards, some sent a bottle of old wine, and some sent a few feet of fabric, or fresh chickens and ducks, or a basket of eggs, some dried fruits, and a few villagers, and sent Yan Liqiang a few written auspicious and joyful words, all of which were the top three first, glorious township and the like.

As for those large families with good conditions and abundant family resources, they directly sent the sealed money, either silver or gold, which is not small.

The people who gave gifts in front of them hadn't left, and the people who gave gifts in the back came, and when they got to the back, there were more and more people gathered in Yan's house, and they couldn't sit in the living room, so everyone came to the courtyard, and the whole courtyard was very lively.

In this case, where can Yan Liqiang cultivate, he can only be in the courtyard with Yan Dechang, chatting with the neighbors and sitting together.

Before noon, the Shen family in Qinghe County actually sent a steward to Yan Liqiang to send a congratulatory gift of fifty taels of gold and two high-grade silk of different colors.

Knowing that it was a congratulatory gift from the Shen family in Qinghe County, the blind date neighbors gathered in the courtyard of Yan Liqiang's house couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation, and looked at the beautiful silk and money envelopes wrapped in red paper sent to the Yan family by the Shen family's family with envy.

But everyone's amazement was not over, at noon, Lu Peien and Qian Su of the Lu family in Huanglong County came, and the Lu family's gift was heavier, it was a full hundred taels of gold, a high-grade sword, and ten horses of various colors of silk.

The gift that Qian Su brought to Yan Liqiang was a large gun more than three meters long that was delicately used by a group of craftsmen in the craftsman battalion to use xenomorph ash wood.

This cadre is together, and the excitement behind it naturally goes without saying......

As for the so-called matchmakers from all walks of life, in the afternoon, they also came, but Yan Liqiang did not come forward, and directly asked Steward Lu to send those matchmakers away.

For a whole day, the Yan family was like a city, and the cars and horses and all kinds of people who came and went to the Yan family blocked the road outside the Yan family, Yan Liqiang felt like a welcome, and his whole face was about to smile sourly.

After a busy day, at night, it came to an end, and Yan Liqiang could finally take a breath, after such a day, Yan Liqiang felt more tired than he was participating in the national arts exam.

And Yan Dechang, in the end, looked at the various congratulatory gifts piled up like a hill in a side room at home, and was stunned for a while.

Yan Dechang didn't come back to his senses for a while, "Why are there so many?"

"Many chickens and ducks are not placed here!" Yan Liqiang handed Yan Dechang a list, "This is the congratulatory gift received by the family today, not to mention the cloth, silk, sword, armor, and other things, just talk about money, today I received a total of 1,800 taels of silver and 220 taels of gold......

"There are so many things, how can they be piled up at home, just pile up here, I don't worry, this is a thief, it seems that I have to find someone to make a few cabinets tomorrow......" Yan Dechang said happily and worriedly.

Hearing Yan Dechang say that he wanted to find someone to make a cabinet, Yan Liqiang's long-brewing words finally came out, "I think it's not just about making cabinets, but also about the yard of this house, it's time to renovate it, if you wait for the Lu steward to leave in a few days, the money is not safe at home, and it's easy to be remembered, it's best to buy land in the town, and then buy two shops in the county, then no one can take it away......"
