The ancients generally ate early, mainly to save candles, and quickly solved the dinner while the day was still bright.

Many villagers came out of their fields, carried hoes and walked to the village, and after a busy day, no matter who they were, they just wanted to go home and eat a hot meal.

Niu Dali also packed his things and went back under Erya's shouting.

Seeing Erya reluctantly looking at the river not far away, he couldn't help laughing, "Erya still wants to eat grilled fish?"

Erya's little head was a little heavier, but when she thought of going home for dinner, she shook her head again.

"When I have time in the future, Dad will bake a few more fish for you!" Niu Dali smiled.

Er Ya happily hugged his thigh.

Looking at the little girl's happy little appearance, Niu Dali suddenly carried the little girl on her shoulders, "Let's go, let's go home for dinner!"

Along the way, he met many familiar villagers, and Niu Dali greeted these villagers.

Before entering the village, I saw the smoke curling in the village, don't look at the apricot blossom village by the mountain and the water, the scenery looks particularly beautiful, especially the apricot blossom trees around the village, when it comes to the flowering season, the scenery is beautiful, placed in the first world, the most beautiful village properly, there is no shortage of tourists.

But this is ancient times, like this kind of scenery, there are not thousands, but hundreds, and the villagers can only live on a few acres of land in their hands, and every family is very poor.

When Niu Dali returned to Niu's house, in the main house, except for the sick Niu Dayong and his wife, and Niu Yongyi, who practiced martial arts in the town's martial arts hall, they were already sitting at the Eight Immortals table.

Niu Laogen sat in the middle of the table, holding a hookah pipe in his hand, smoking a cigarette with an expressionless face, and beside him sat Qian Pozi, who glanced at Niu Dali in disgust, and seemed to think that Niu Dayong and his wife were sick because of him.

On the left side of the Eight Immortals table sat Niu Dazhuang and his wife, and on the right side was generally Niu Dayong and his wife's family, but because Niu Dayong and his wife were sick, the right seat was given to the children of the big room and the third room.

Niu Yongqi is Niu Dayong's second son, fourteen years old, wearing a simple white robe, dressed as a scholar, giving people the feeling of reading sage books, I heard that reading is good, and he will be out of the exam this year.

Niu Yunru is Niu Dazhuang's eldest daughter, twelve years old, somewhat similar to Zhang's, with a pointed chin and arrogant eyes, and the second son Niu Yongli, nine years old, is also studying in a private school.

"Second uncle!" Niu Yongqi said to Niu Dali.

Niu Yunru and Niu Yongli also said in unison: "Second uncle!"

Niu nodded vigorously and sat down in his place, he knew that it was not because of how good his relationship with his nieces and nephews was, that they called him, but in this world, if he didn't want to be pointed at, if he wanted to take the imperial examination, and if he wanted to marry a good family, he had to abide by some old rules, such as respecting his elders.

At this moment, Li Xianglan was busy in the kitchen, and the eldest and second girls were holding plates and placing them on the table of the Eight Immortals.

After a while, dinner was ready, and after Li Xianglan filled a bowl of rice for everyone, she stood aside with the eldest girl and the second girl.

Everyone in the house was waiting for Niu Laogen to move the chopsticks, as long as Niu Laogen didn't move the chopsticks, no one else dared to touch the dishes on the table.

Looking at Li Xianglan's mother and daughter standing aside, Niu Dali's heart suddenly became unhappy.

In the past, Li Xianglan's mother and daughter were like this, standing aside and watching them eat, and only after all of them finished eating, did they start eating.

But what's left on the table at the end?

All the dishes were eaten to the bottom, not to mention that there was not much rice left, Li Xianglan's mother and daughter could only pour water into the rice and drink the gruel without a few grains of rice.

"Let's eat!" Niu Laogen put the hookah pipe in his hand on Table Mountain and said.

"Dad, wait a minute!" Seeing that everyone was about to move the chopsticks, Niu vigorously stopped him.

For a while, the people in the house suddenly looked at him in unison, and they didn't understand what Niu Dali was going to do at this time.

Niu Laogen also looked at Niu Dali, with an inquiring question in his eyes.

"Dad, is Xianglan the daughter-in-law of our Niu family?" Niu Dali suddenly asked.

Niu Laogen picked up the hookah pipe, smoked a cigarette, and nodded.

"Are the eldest and second girls your granddaughters?" Niu Dali asked again.

Niu Laogen frowned, "Say, what do you want to say?"

"I want Xianglan, Da Ya, and Er Ya to sit and eat with us together!" Niu Dali said directly.

Niu Laogen was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Niu Dali to ask Li Xianglan's mother and daughter to come to the table for dinner.

At this time, not only Niu Laogen, but also Niu Dazhuang's family widened their eyes.

Niu Yongqi raised his eyes and looked at Niu Dali with a surprised gaze.

Li Xianglan's mother and daughter were also stunned.

"Just by her, a maid, she deserves to eat with us?" Mrs. Qian pointed to Li Xianglan on the side, sneered, and said.

Servant girl?

Niu Dali took a deep breath, "Mother, Xianglan is not a maid, she is my daughter-in-law, and she is the daughter-in-law of our Niu family!"

"Even if she is your daughter-in-law now, she used to be a maid, and it is a blessing for her to be able to enter our Niu family for several lifetimes, and she still wants to sit and eat with us, no way!" Mrs. Qian said menacingly.

"Yes, second uncle, don't be angry, the second sister-in-law used to be a maid, who doesn't know how to be a maid, that's to serve the master, if it's a lady, a young lady will forget it, but if it's a master, a young master's maid..."

Zhang's words were halfway through, but the last words made people think about it.

But everyone present knew what the Zhang family meant, who didn't know the maids who served the old man and the young master......

Li Xianglan's face turned pale suddenly, and her body trembled.

Niu Dali's heart was cold.

When Li Xianglan was a maid in the past, he didn't know who she served, but ......
