The next day, several female dolls came to the school to sign up, and Li Mingmei was responsible for registering everyone.

There are also a few female dolls of the same age as Mingmei, looking at Li Mingmei's current generosity, she is no longer the black, thin and thin girl she was before, and there was a burst of envy in her eyes.

"Mingmei, write down my name and my sister's name." It was the daughter of Li Qingnian's family at the head of the village, Li Dahua, who spoke.

I think that Li Dahua's family was much richer than Mingmei's family, but in just a few years, the two of them have taken a turn, and it is not so easy to catch up with Mingmei.

"Okay, Dahua, I wrote it to you, Xiaoling, just hand it over to Xia Xiang."

Li Dahua handed over the bundle, turned his head and asked, "Mingmei, are you the gentleman for us?" ”

Li Mingmei smiled and shook her head: "No! It's my Mama Cui, and Mama Cui used to be my husband at home. Hey~ I still want to come to the school to play with you, but my mother has been in a tight position lately. ”

Li Dahua knew in her heart that now Li Mingmei is also an official lady, and there are naturally many rules. Besides, everyone is a big girl, so it's not good to hang out outside.

"Also, I also begged my father and mother to study in this school for a long time, and finally yesterday the village chief uncle had a meeting, and I took this opportunity to fight again, I~ I want to recognize some words and read some books before I get married.

My brother came to study in the school I was very envious, and when he came home from school, he pestered him to teach me every day, but this kid couldn't learn well, but he wanted to kill me. Now that I can go to school, I will definitely study hard.

My sister sent her to study together, because I really envy her for being young now and being able to study for a few more years. ”

Li Dahua sighed at this hard-won opportunity to read, and there seemed to be a light flickering in her eyes.

Except for the girls of Li Bao and Zhang Mei's family, the other girls all talked about their parents because of the big flowers to study.

Everyone sighed with emotion, and kept talking around Li Mingmei, Li Mingmei was not impatient, and talked about getting married.

"Big flower, have you started to look at each other?" Li Mingmei asked curiously, now that she is detained at home by the Wang family, she doesn't know much about these little friends in the village.

Li Dahua was shy by this straightforward question, lowered her head and said, "Not yet!" But my mother told me every day. ”

Li Mingmei: "My sister-in-law wrote to say that women don't have to rush to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, most of those official ladies in the capital are married after eighteen years, my sister-in-law said, this is good for women's health." ”

Li Dahua heard this, and his mind changed: "If that's the case, then I can study for a few more years!" ”

Li Mingmei blinked her eyes: "That's right! ”

Li Dahua suddenly became excited, Li Mingmei always felt as if something was wrong, but she didn't know where the problem was.

Sure enough, as soon as Dahua went back to tell her mother that the woman would marry after eighteen, she was almost escorted by her father and mother to find Li Mingmei to retreat, but fortunately, Li Dahua quickly admitted her mistake to her parents, and then she got the matter over.

The girls' class was opened, and although there were only seven girls, the brothers and sisters Mingli and Mingmei, who were in charge of it, were very happy.

"Hello Mr. Cui!" Several girls stood up and saluted Mama Cui, this was taught by Li Mingmei before, as long as they were teaching in the school, both men and women were uniformly called Mr.

Mama Cui felt for a while, looking at the few students in the seat, and there was an indescribable emotion in her heart.

"Everyone sit down, from today onwards, I will teach you to read and write, of course, you are willing to listen to some other etiquette, I will also teach you."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the gentleman."

The women's class has started, and the boys have been making a fuss, and Mr. He knocked the ring ruler twice.

"It seems that everyone wants to write a few more big characters today, in this case, I will add five more big characters to today's homework, and I will ask for neat writing."

Now the class was quiet, and the boys listened honestly to Mr. He to continue the lecture.

There is an empty space between the men's classroom and the women's classroom, which Zhao Yunlan plans to use as a playground, but this playground has not been used yet, so a garden is built in the middle, which can be regarded as the dividing line between male and female students.

On the Li family's mansion, the Wang family plans to go to Zhaojiagou, and this time they will go to the Jiang family to help talk about the matter with the third child and the daughter of the Zhao family.

"Mother, I ......" Li Mingli hesitated.

Wang: "What are you, let me stay at home, I'll come back as soon as I go." ”

Li Mingli knew that this was the rule, so he could only nod obediently and wait for news from the Wang family at home.

After Wang left, Old Man Li came over to find Li Mingli.

"Third brother, the ancestral hall of our village has also been built, your uncle Chunsheng said that he wanted to invite the ranking of his ancestors back to worship, originally thinking that your eldest brother would come back to handle this matter, but your eldest brother is not coming back now, I mean, you write to your second brother and ask him to come back and do this with you."

Li Mingli nodded: "Okay, then I'll write a letter to ask the second brother to come back." ”

"Hmm."

"Eh, Dad, otherwise I'll let the fourth child come back together, he is also a child now, the eldest brother is not here, the fourth child can do the same, let him come back to show the ancestors that our Li family also has a scholar."

Old man Li: "Okay, let him come back." ”

Li Mingli nodded: "Then I'll pick them up and bring Ruiwen back." ”

"Okay!"

The day of the sacrifice was set for five days later, and Li Mingli asked the big head to go to Fucheng to deliver the message, and he went to the county to pick up the uncle and nephew who were studying.

After the Wang family came back from Zhaojiagou, they waited for news from the Jiang family, and in a blink of an eye, the time for the sacrifice to ask for a ranking was also up.

The village chief called the third grandfather, the oldest in the village, to preside over the ceremony, and the offerings for the sacrifice were purchased with the money left over from the ancestral hall built in the village.

Some famous people in the village were arranged in various positions of the sacrifice, and under the leadership of Li Zongping, the sacrifice ceremony began in an orderly manner.

Men, young and old, are dressed in solemn clothes, standing in rows and rows, and before the sacrifice, they must first invite the rank to the ancestral hall, which has to be done by the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest performed a ritual, and then each family sent people to place the ancestors of the family in the ancestral hall one by one according to their generation. After the ranking, under the leadership of Li Zongping, the sacrificial ceremony began, and the children and grandchildren of each family lined up in the back, performing three bows and nine kowtows, and even Xiao Ruiwen was arranged to kowtow together in the back.

The ancestral hall is solemn and solemn, and the outside of the ancestral hall is lively, and the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village are busy preparing today's meals. Today's sacrifice is a big day in the village, and it must be a good meal for the whole village. Each family brought rice, noodles, meat and vegetables from home, and when they couldn't get too much, they volunteered to help with the cooking.

Although people with foreign surnames in the village were not allowed to participate in the sacrifice, the village chief still invited them to eat and celebrate.

Wang not only sent a few baskets of meat and vegetables, but also sent a fat sister-in-law to be the chef to make overall arrangements for today's meals.

After the men of the sacrifice came out, the food began to be served outside, and the table was placed on the road outside the ancestral hall until it was lined up, looking at a long dragon, the third grandfather Li Zongping was full of tears, and he had been holding back tears when he bowed inside, and now he came out but couldn't hold it back.

The village chief helped Li Zongping to sit at the main table, and called the old man Li's family to sit together, and everyone said some happy words around Li Zongping, and the elder slowly stopped his tears.

"It's time to eat~" The village chief shouted, and the village shouted and shouted, Li Zongping felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
