Early in the morning of the 25th, Zhao came early with his two daughters-in-law, and brought a basket of woad and water spinach.

After a whole day yesterday, the Zhao family already understood why the guild asked him to bring his daughter-in-law to help, but it was really beyond the reach of Wang's step-mother-in-law and concubine.

The Zhao family is not good at talking about the elders of the Chen family, after all, they are the aunts in the next room. However, this did not prevent Zhao from making his own choice: "Bring you some woad and water spinach, you have a lot of them today, and if you can't finish eating, you can eat them at home tomorrow." ”

Wang's vegetable field has not grown for more than a month, and the vegetables have not grown much, so the green vegetables are really tight at this banquet, or there are so many dishes, just two green vegetables. Zhao's arrival helped a lot.

"Hey, sister-in-law, thank you." Wang said gratefully.

"Thank you, this thing is worthless, it's a pity that the elders in the vegetable field use it to feed the chickens and pigs." Zhao said disappreciably, "Come, I'll give you a hand." ”

Zhao took his daughter-in-law and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

In the afternoon, the clansmen who came to the banquet came one after another, and Li Xiandong's house gradually became lively.

The last finale was Li Zheng, who brought his eldest son and congratulated him as soon as he entered the door.

Li Xiandong saw Li Zheng and hurriedly brought Li Zheng to the main table, where the patriarch, the third uncle, the eighth uncle, his father, his second uncle and several elders of the clan were seated.

As for Li Zheng's son, he was led to a table next to Li Xinhe, Xiannan and others.

When everyone is together, the food is served.

First up was a large plate of oily bone broth, full of oily bone marrow and all kinds of dried mushrooms soaked in oil.

Then there is the steamed sauce meat that is steamed until it is soft and rotten, and the sauce is thick and shiny.

This is followed by braised fish in thick soup, braised fish with sauerkraut and golden crispiness...... Even the greens have more oil residue than other people's.

Someone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The adults clung to their children, but they were afraid that the children couldn't help it, so they moved the chopsticks first, which was rude.

Today's Li Shengli is excited, he originally thought that his eldest son's house was not built well, so he didn't bother much. Unexpectedly, today, this house is much more decent than he imagined. Li Shengli immediately became happy, this son is doing well, which means that he is not the stepfather - he broke up the family, but for the good of his son, he didn't see how well his son's house was built.

Just now, Li Shengli has been sitting on the chairman and telling people how happy he is for this eldest son, and said that he wants to start eating.

It stands to reason that Li Xiandong needs to say some decent words to open the banquet, but it took a long time for Xiandong to hold back a sentence, "Thank you for giving face to the banquet." Chopsticks are up, and everyone eats to their heart's content. ”

Li Shengli couldn't wait to do it himself.

It's just that as Li Xiandong's words fell, there was already a pandering voice below, "Congratulations." ”

Then the chopsticks fell one after another, and almost only the afterimage was seen.

This meal is so fragrant that people can't stand it for a long time, but for the sake of etiquette, the main family hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, so I'm embarrassed to start, and now there is nothing to say.

Li Xiaohan sandwiched a piece of steamed meat, helpless in her heart, her father was still like this, working hard and frustrated. Honest people suffer on this occasion.

However, although Li Xiandong didn't say anything about it, there is still a person with a bright eye.

For example, the third uncle at the main table admires Li Xiandong very much, a young man, who is capable, willing to work, open-minded and does not care about temporary grievances, and over time, he is bound to live a good life.

As an elder in the clan, the third uncle likes such young people in the clan, so he took the initiative to raise the wine bowl and said, "Xiandong, do a good job, the third uncle is optimistic about you." ”

Li Xiandong was flattered, stood up in a panic, and said again and again, "Third uncle, third uncle, I respect you." After saying that, he drank it all.

Those who can sit at the main table either live longer than Li Xiandong, or live better than Li Xiandong, seeing this, they naturally understand that although Li Xiandong lacks a tactfulness, he is willing to work and competent, such a person is more than enough to live his own life, and he may not have any great interest to bring his relatives and friends, but once you are in trouble, he will definitely not step on you.

There are many ups and downs in life, and in the future, who can say.

Of course, there are also some people who are just polite, but Li Xiandong, who has been suppressed for a long time, has obtained unprecedented satisfaction.

Not long after, Li Xinhe below, brought a group of nephews to toast, all of whom called Uncle Xiandong.

Li Xiaohan observed the Li clan people around him while eating, the main table was the highest level of the Li clan, with the third uncle and the patriarch leading the way, and the atmosphere between the tables was harmonious.

At the second table, Li Xiaohan first paid attention to the son brought by the lieutenant chief, and there was no disgust on his face, a pure sense of congratulations.

Either Li Zheng's son is cultivating and growing, so that people can't see what they think in their hearts; Either they really came with a congratulatory mentality, and the Li family should not be underestimated in the eyes of the chief.

Why does the Li family not talk about his father, it is naturally that Li Xiaohan knows his father, and he can't make the chief look at him differently, it is through the light of the Li family.

The people of the Li clan who came below, most of the clansmen were thin, but they were not too hungry, they ate meat and vegetables, and there were no rudeness such as grabbing vegetables.

There are children with them, and the children are also very well raised.

Li Xiaohan remembered that the Li family had a family study, and his father and cousins, no matter what their talents, more or less knew a few words in the family studies.

The Li family, although it has declined in recent years, is still there from the outside to the inside.

Living in such a clan, it is best not to easily break the rules of the clan before you have enough strength.

Li Xiaohan secretly came to a conclusion in his heart, and his eyes returned to the main table: At the main table, in the face of everyone who came to toast, Li Xiandong did not refuse, he didn't eat two bites of food, and poured a lot of wine.

It can be seen that even if it is her father's home field, her father does not take the initiative.

Her father, she didn't know what to do.

Li Xiaohan sighed in his heart, and decided to help his father, what could make Mu Na's restrained person speak, that is, what he was most familiar with and proud of.

"Dad, Brother Xinhe said they wanted to visit the new house, don't be overjoyed and forget the customs."

When you enter the house, you can visit the new house room by room, at this time, there are no taboos for any uncles, aunts, girls, and young men, one is to show off the main family, and the other is that everyone can also learn the construction method of the new house.

"That's exactly what happened," said the third uncle.

He listened to his grandson Li Deyou all day long say that Li Xiandong's house was built well, and the master built it in the style of the city, "I heard that there are several great places in your house, let me tell you." ”

The topic came to Lee Hyun-dong's proudest house, and he could speak.

"Come, third uncle, let me show you, my house, first of all, the underground of this house, you see, clean and flat, specially let the master paint Sanhe soil, rain or snow or anything is not afraid of mud."

Everyone bowed their heads and exclaimed, "No wonder, I've long felt that this floor is different." So it was. ”

"And my corridor, in the future, the snowman will not get wet when it rains, drying vegetables, drying bacon, drying clothes and hanging under the corridor, no one in the family is not afraid of disaster." Lee Hyun-dong is a pragmatist.

Everyone raised their heads again, and they all became pragmatists like Li Xiandong, "This is good, this is good, practical, it seems that it is a matter of adding some wood and tiles, and it is not expensive." ”

"And my room, which is equipped with both a kang and a fire wall, and the whole room is warm in winter."

What Li Xiandong was embarrassed to say was that Master Ren said that this room with a fire wall is most suitable for children's activities, and it will not be like the fire kang, which is hot on the kang and cold all around.

Everyone followed Li Xiandong and visited the two main rooms with fire walls - fortunately, Li Xiaohan already knew this custom, put away his things, and visited the side rooms, even the kitchen and firewood room.

When I saw the pile of firewood in the firewood room, someone asked, "Uncle Xiandong, why is there this kind of firewood in your firewood room?" What kind of firewood is this? ”

"Oh, it's a fake silkworm tree, it's scented. I cut down several trees in the field to make furniture, and the useless twigs were used for fire. ”

"Oh, this fake silkworm tree is the tree that Mrs. Zhang smoked bacon, some people like this taste." The crowd of onlookers suddenly realized.

"Yes, our family also likes the smell of this fake silkworm tree." Li Xiaohan said with a smile, a pair of almond eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

The fine decoration of the house depends on this batch of fake silkworm trees.
