My whole family is dancing

After Wang Erlai was buried, the village returned to normal, except that everyone consciously avoided the river.

Bai Lihui walked in the door and then the village chief Wang came, "Now that everyone mentioned to me about setting up a celebration altar by the river today, everyone is very happy, and they all say that they don't need money. to the whole village."

Bai Lihui nodded, "In the evening, you can help call the men from the village to Zhang's ancestral hall to talk. The celebration of the altar will start the day after tomorrow, and the county magistrate may come by then. We have to make a total calculation and do it decently."

"The county magistrate is coming?"

The village chief rubbed his hands excitedly, "That must be handled properly."

Bai Lihui reminded, "You don't have to come, the county magistrate is so busy, let's not tell everyone about this, so as not to disappoint everyone if we don't come."

The two of them talked together for a while and the village head left, he also had a lot of things on his hands.

Baijiaopu helped to move all the things on the mule cart in. Seeing the pile of things, he was a little bit tongue-tied, "Why do you buy so many things?"

Bai Fu'er helped to clean up, "It's all for your wedding, so naturally you have to buy more."

Seeing Baichangpu's smirk, Wen's mother said directly, "These things cost 51 taels in total, and they were all given by your sister, Calamus, you have to remember this."

Baichangpu happily rubbed his hands, "Sister, brother, thank you very much, I remember this matter, I will return a lot of money to you when I have money."

Well, he has to work hard and be more diligent, and prepare a decent dowry for his younger sister when she gets married.

Bai Fuer looked at him with a smile, "I've remembered what brother said."

After tidying up, Wen went to Granny Li with two pieces of material, "I should have made new clothes for my father and mother by myself, but I, a craftswoman, knew it. I'm afraid I will waste this material, so I can only work hard." .”

Li Po's needlework is very good, and she and Bailihui's clothes are also made by her own hands. Seeing that the two pieces are still made of silk, she touched them curiously, "Your father and I were half buried in the soil." I'm dead, what are you going to do with such a good material, take it back and make it for the second child and Changpu, in the future they will see people often, so they should dress decently."

Bai Fuer sat on a small stool and ate fried peas, put down the peas, got up and took the dark red silk with dark patterns and gestured to her grandma, "How beautiful, it makes grandma whiter, this color is so beautiful At home, only grandma can wear it, so I can hold it back."

"My mother and I fell in love with this piece of material as soon as we entered the cloth shop. Grandma made clothes and put them on. It must look good."

"And this piece of iron-gray material is also very suitable for grandpa. My dad looks old-fashioned when he wears it."

"Our family is considered a small landlord now. As the most honorable grandparents in the family, what's wrong with wearing satin clothes? It suits our status."

Granny Li smiled and touched the material. If she liked it immediately, she felt that this material would look good on her, but she couldn't bear it.

"According to your little mouth, grandma won't be able to wear it."

"I have to wear it. On the day my brother got married, grandma wore new clothes made of this material and the gold earrings that grandpa bought."

Wen took out a silver hairpin wrapped in red cloth, "I brought a hairpin for mother, let mother see if she likes it."

The pair of silver hairpins were bought for her by her niece, but she wanted to be filial to her mother-in-law, so she asked Baifuer for permission before taking them out.

"Fu'er bought it. I bought a pair. My mother and I each have one."

She wanted to give one of the pair of twisted silver bracelets to her mother, who had never worn a bracelet in her whole life.

Granny Li took it over to look at it and then gave it back to her, "I will benefit if you have such a heart. You must be in pairs on this big day. You will look good with a pair of silver hairpins. Mother has hairpins to wear."

Is she really polite about this? Fuer gave the old couple 20 taels of private house money. The old man was happy, and after a few days, he took the silver and bought her a gold hairpin, saying that it would go with the gold earrings.

He also said that when life gets better, he will have to buy a gold bracelet for her to wear, which makes people happy.

In Bailihui's eyes, the children and grandchildren in the family are all promising, and if they show filial piety to them, they will receive this filial piety, and they will wear jewelry on their heads, which looks good and makes people happy.

He said that he didn't want the silver hairpin, so Wen put it away, and discussed who to invite to propose marriage.

"The village chief's old lady." Li Po didn't even think about it, "Wang's wife can speak well, and her son is also the village chief, and she is blessed. I met her in the morning and told her about it. You can talk about it later. Send her a snack and talk to her again, and ask her to come."

Wen Shi agreed with a smile.

In the evening, all the men in the village gathered in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family. The old people of the Zhang family had mixed feelings. You must know that the Zhang family is the common surname in the village, and the position of the village head has always been occupied by the Zhang family. After growing up, the Wang family won this position, and now the head of the village has become a member of the Bai family, and I feel very disappointed.

"Uncle Bai, congratulations."

"That's right, Uncle Bai, what a big deal it is to be a village chief, you should have let us know earlier."

"That's right, let's all get together on a good day to cheer Uncle Bai up."

Bai Lihui met Wang Erlai when he became the head of the village, and Wang Erlai disappeared. The village was busy sending Wang Erlai to his burial, so they ignored this matter.

Bailihui said cheerfully, "It's nothing serious, everyone should do what they want in the future, just drink, and they will all come to my house to drink in a short time."

"Is the calamus good news coming soon?"

Everyone in the village knows that the Bai family is going to marry the landlord Zhang of the Liu family, and it would be a lie to say that they don't envy them.

Someone cheerfully asked: "Uncle Bai, will you take us out to make money in the future?"

This issue is what everyone cares about. After going out to earn money a few times, everyone is addicted. The money is quick and easy.

Bailihui smiled and said, "I just said, what was like before will remain the same in the future."

In this way, everyone is relieved and laughs more freely.

Next, Bailihui talked about setting up the celebration altar in the future. The celebration altar was placed by the river, and someone needed to go to the river to clean it up. All the families in the village responded positively.

Bai Erlai's old lady came here crying, she firmly believed that her Erlai's soul was still suffering at the bottom of the river, "If we build a celebration altar, wouldn't it scare Erlai, my Erlai is pitiful."

Bai Lihui once again told her that the new dead could not call back the soul within a hundred days, and that after the hundred days, he would do things for the second-hander. This time, the celebration altar would also report back to the gods of all directions and the river god at the bottom of the river, and let them protect the second-hander. Erlai is good.

In this way, Bai Erlai's old lady felt at ease, and left crying again.
