Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11542

Xiao Hei's transformation was not only seen by Yang Huazhong and others, but also by Liu and many people in the village.

At first, the neighbors around him were shocked, but as Xiao Hei continued to behave in the next few days, everyone found that this black boy was not as enthusiastic as they had expected, and seemed to be serious about it.

So, the whole village was watching his every move.

Liu had somewhere to go these days. After breakfast every day, she would call on the loudspeakers of her "radio station" and several women would gather together to squat near Lao Wang's house, wandering around the front and back yards, observing Xiao Hei's every move. Some women even ran into Lao Wang's old house to chat with Xiao Hei.

But I'm sorry, although Xiao Hei has changed, it doesn't mean that he has completely changed.

Faced with various curious inquiries from Liu and other women, Xiao Hei did not have a good expression and did not say a word the whole time.

When he saw Wang Hongquan, the old man picked up a broom and drove Liu and several other women who liked to watch the fun out of the yard. The women were so scared that they screamed and scolded Wang Hongquan.

Now, after suffering a setback at Old Wang's side, Liu came to visit the village entrance again and brought over what happened at Old Wang's side.

"That old man Wang Hongquan has a mean face and won't let us get close to him," Liu said angrily. "Humph, when Mei'er was still at Old Wang's house, he would smile like an old dog and call her aunt from a distance. Now that Mei'er has remarried, he has changed his attitude. Ugh!"

Liu's condemnation of Wang Hongquan was heard by Sun, Bao Suyun and others nearby, leaving them stunned and not knowing what to say.

Yang Ruoqing was also here and was amused by Liu's words.

"Aunt Si, please don't force me. You just said that when my Aunt Mei'er was still at Old Wang's house..."

"Everyone is gone, and you've turned your face. Do you still expect Wang Hongquan to call you fourth aunt? And be warm to you? My God, you are so shameless!"

Yang Ruoqing kept shaking her head as she spoke. Although old man Wang Hongquan was a little awkward, the old man was in a weird mood when she accompanied Yang Huazhong there that day.

However, Fourth Aunt Liu is also a typical example of double standards, a super female boxer.

"Fourth Aunt, just take a break. It's a good thing that old man Wang Hongquan didn't throw manure on you..." Cao Bamei was eating melon seeds on the side. She was in a good mood and teased Liu.

"This is what our Yang family is talking about behind closed doors. No one has ever thought about how undignified it was for Aunt to remarry!"

Cao Bamei's words directly hit the core of the problem.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded slightly.

It was not uncommon for a widow to remarry, or for an ex-wife to remarry, in the State of Qi.

After leaving the Great Qi and arriving at the Great Liao or other small border countries, people were even more relaxed about this.

What's the point of remarrying?

The father died and the concubine was left to his son.

The elder brother died and his sister-in-law was left to his younger brother.

There are even some grassland tribes that are not interested in leaving anything for their grandchildren.

The purpose of everyone doing this is very simple, and that is reproduction.

This was an era of cold weapons, with wars breaking out frequently. Also, due to diseases, natural disasters, etc., the average human life expectancy was generally low, and the annual population loss was still very large.

Therefore, to encourage childbirth, people in any country should have more children to expand the base number. If you say that widows cannot remarry and divorced women cannot remarry, then the army of children cannot keep up!

Therefore, Yang Huamei's remarriage as a widow was within the scope permitted by law. However, the way she remarried was not very fair.

Others are going through a serious life and are still together, but you are getting married because you are pregnant, so you can't blame public opinion for leaning in your favor, nor can you blame Wang Hongquan for being unhappy...

"Okay, let's not discuss this topic anymore. No matter whether it's right or wrong, it's all in the past." Yang Ruoqing said.

Not only were Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming condemned by public opinion, they were also kicked out of their homes and paid a heavy price for their actions.

"Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, let's talk about the first birthday party for your two eldest grandsons?" Yang Ruoqing changed the subject directly.

Last year, Jiang Guilin and Liu Jinchuan both gave birth to babies, both boys, within two months of each other.

If a year has passed and the two children are almost one year old, according to the customs and habits at home, we should hold a one-year-old party for them.

At that time, relatives and friends will be invited to a banquet to celebrate. Those who can afford it will also prepare a variety of things for the children and let the children draw lots to maximize the sense of ceremony.

Because Yang Ruoqing brought up the topic, and Sun happened to be paying attention to this matter, so Sun quickly asked about their respective arrangements.

Bao Suyun's face was filled with a gentle but proud smile, and she said, "I also asked a few questions when Dabao came back last time during the Qingming Festival."

"Dabao means that it will definitely be done, around this time. Whether it will be held in the county town or in the village, we need to discuss it with his father and Guiling."

Go to the county seat?

Yang Ruoqing and Sun looked at each other in bewilderment. The Yang family and the relatives from Jiangjia Village were all going to the county town? This was a big scene...

Liu couldn't help but question: "What? You still want to go to the county town? Why do you want to go to the county town? It's not a big deal for everyone to go there for a banquet, right?"

Bao Suyun smiled at Liu and explained in a very good-tempered manner, "I also think it would be more convenient for relatives and friends to come over if we hold a lively party in the village."

"But Dabao also said that going to the county seat has two advantages."

"Which two benefits?" Liu asked.

"First, let's go to Tianxianglou and book a private room. There are many dishes and variety, so everyone can enjoy the meal."

"The dishes... well, that's true. If you can't finish them, you can pack them up. Then can you tell me what the second benefit is?" Liu asked again.

"The second one, I can't say it's a benefit. Dabao means that it's more convenient for his father to come from Qing'an County. Mianmian is also in the county town, so it's also convenient."

"This is really not a good thing," Liu said, clapping her hands together, "It makes things easier for the father and daughter, but it's hard work for all of us, Third Sister-in-law, Qing'er, Eighth Sister, don't you agree with this?"

Sun had always been good friends with Bao Suyun, and the third and fifth wives were close, so even though Liu pointed out the shortcomings of the decision made by the fifth wife, Sun's personality did not allow her to object to it in person.

Therefore, Sun just smiled awkwardly and said, "Hasn't this really been decided yet? It's just a consideration. Don't be impatient, Fourth Brother's wife!"

Cao Bamei's eyes flickered. She understood what Sun meant. She smiled and said, "No matter where we go for the banquet, we should just follow the host's wishes. Besides, if Dabao and Guiling have made up their minds, they will definitely arrange the carriages and horses for the trip in advance."

"There are dozens of people in our Yang family, young and old. Dabao and Guiling will definitely make arrangements in advance. We just need to provide food and drink, right, Aunt Wu?"
