Chapter 110 Lively Days

Old man Li chose the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month to hold a house warming banquet. Mrs. Wang told her sons that when they invited the villagers, they must inform everyone that they should not bring gifts, and that they should only be used for eating and drinking.

Mrs. Wang considered that Li Mingyi's marriage was coming soon. Although the villagers had a much better life now, it was always too much to give gifts one after another.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the Li family got busy inside and out early in the morning. Almost all the villagers in the Li family village invited them, and the women in the village came to the Li family early to help with the work if they had time.

"Third Aunt, you already said you won't accept presents today, why did you take so much?" Zhao Yunlan looked helplessly at the woman in front of her.

"Hey, they're all things that don't matter, just this basket of eggs." The woman responded to Zhao Yunlan's words without handing the basket to Zhao Yunlan. The location, put down the basket and help to get back to work.

Zhao Yunlan had hired the third aunt and several women from the village to cook for the workers who built the house, so she almost participated in the construction of the house.

The village chief also brought his whole family to Li's house, each carrying bacon and sausages.

"Uncle Village Chief, go in and sit down. I told you that you are not allowed to bring gifts. Today is a lively and lively place. Tell me about this, alas!" Li Mingren stood next to Zhao Yunlan and glanced at Zhao Yunlan.

Village head Li laughed and didn't answer Li Mingren's words, but said: "Mingren, congratulations, the first scholar in our village."

Seeing that the village chief didn't agree with each other, Li Mingren could only take the village chief in and sit down, while Zhao Yunlan led the village chief's wife into the house to put things. "Auntie, oh~ I told you not to bring gifts to the door." Zhao Yunlan brought up this topic again.

The wife of the village head: "What kind of gift is this? Don't talk about it. Tell me if you have anything to do."

In this way, Zhao Yunlan collected all kinds of agricultural products in the whole morning.Zhao Yunlan went to talk to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang had no choice but to thank the villagers one by one, and asked Zhao Yunlan to write down all the things they sent.

In addition, the Wang family also invited the eldest brother's family from Dawang Village and the Zhao family.

"Little sister, it's the end of all hardships." Wang Dalong looked at the younger sister and the newly built house in front of him, choked up and said.

Wang Cuifen: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's cold and sit in the room and say, you have to stay overnight tonight."

Hu Xiu: "Shuming, Shude, give your sister-in-law something to move in."

Wang: "Sister-in-law, why did you bring so much?"

Hu Xiu: "It's all your favorite food, and I brought it here for you."

Mrs. Wang took Hu Xiu's hand: "It's still my sister-in-law who loves people."

Hu Xiu patted Wang's hand: "It's all planted by your elder brother! Everything is fine now that you are still here."

As soon as Mrs. Wang brought her eldest brother, sister-in-law and family into the house, someone from the Zhao family came.

Li Mingren saluted one by one: "Father-in-law, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, younger brother. Come in and sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

Zhao Yunlan had just been busy in the kitchen, when she heard that her mother's family had arrived, she hurried to the front hall to meet them.

Mrs. Jiang was talking politely to Mrs. Wang when she heard Zhao Yunlan yelling: "Father, mother, you are here!"

Jiang Shi: "You girl, run slowly, what are you in a hurry for?"

Zhao Yunlan said coquettishly, "I miss you guys!"

Mrs. Jiang took out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, "This is a gift for my son-in-law to be admitted as a scholar. We don't understand the ink, paper and inkstone. This was chosen by your brother."

Li Mingren: "Thank you father-in-law and mother-in-law. This pen looks good at first glance. Mother-in-law has taken care of it, and younger brother has worked hard."

Zhao Yuncheng smiled and said, "Congratulations to my brother-in-law for being admitted as a scholar."

Jiang turned her head to Wang and continued, "My mother-in-law didn't bring anything good, so Yun Song took the lead and went to the kitchen."

Wang: "Oh, mother-in-law, you're wasting money. Yuhua, the room in the backyard is also warm. Take Niuniu to the backyard. There are few people there."

Huang Yuhua nodded, and Li Mingmei took Huang Yuhua to the backyard.Xiao Bao liked this little sister very much, so he followed her to the backyard.

In the past, the banquets in the village were all gathered together to eat, drink and chat, and there was no distinction between male guests and female relatives in the front yard and back yard, so Zhao Yunlan did not make a distinction this time, and most of the places to eat were arranged in the front yard.

There were also some tables arranged in the backyard, mainly waiting for Mrs. Liu and Shopkeeper Wu to come over.

Zhao Yunlan did not expect that Liu Zhifu also came with Mrs. Liu.Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren were stunned when they stood at the door to greet them.

Prefect Liu laughed: "You can write on your invitation that my father and the whole family will come together!"

Mrs. Wang glared at Liu Yuanzhan.

Zhao Yunlan came back to her senses, and walked in with Mrs. Liu's family of three. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li also probably knew the origin of the Liu family, so they hurried out to greet them.

Old Master Liu smiled kindly: "Brother Li, I'm here for a drink today."

Old man Li looked at Li Mingren's tense tongue, which was a little knotted: "Liu, brother Liu is here to make this... what shine."

Li Mingming said from the side: "Father, it's the succulent radiance!"

Old man Li glared at Li Zhiming.

Old Master Liu laughed: "That's serious!"

Li Mingren: "Old master, old lady, go to the backyard to have a cup of tea and rest."

Li Mingren went to the backyard with him, and Mrs. Liu did not forget Li Mingren's homework during the school exam.

Li Mingren was nervous for a while.

When Mrs. Wang met Mrs. Wang, the two Mrs. Wang seemed to be familiar with each other, and they chatted more and more enthusiastically as they walked behind.

After the Liu family was arranged to go to the backyard, Wang's natal family and the Zhao family also went to the backyard together.Zhao Yunlan found that there were quite a lot of people coming today, thanks to the good weather today, otherwise it would be a mess if there were too many people.

With Li Mingmei and Zhang Xia staring at the kitchen, Zhao Yunlan can also take time to see the guests and check whether the tables and chairs are sufficient.Except when the Zhao family came to sit down and have a rest all morning, they never stopped.

Shopkeeper Wu brought Wu Yanwei and Zhu Yue to Li's house together, but Wu Yi didn't come because the wedding was approaching.From time to time, Li Mingyi went to the entrance of the village to look around for the Wu family's carriage, and finally he was relieved when someone entered the door.

Zhao Yunlan came out to meet shopkeeper Wu, Li Mingyi took the Wu family to the backyard, and the front and back yards became lively.

When the dishes in the kitchen were ready, the Li family brothers also went to the cellar to bring out the wine. Zhao Yunlan took Zhang Xia and Li Mingmei to serve the dishes. The women in the village also listened to Zhao Yunlan's instructions. Shang Yemin and Deng Yong were responsible for maintaining order, arranging for everyone to sit down and pour wine for everyone.

Li Mingzhi set off firecrackers, and the Li family began to invite everyone to eat and drink.

Zhao Yunlan prepared a full meal today, just thinking about making everyone happy.

It was the first time shopkeeper Wu ate at Li's house, and he ate several dishes prepared by Zhao Yunlan, thinking that this kind of culinary skills could not be wrong to open a restaurant.

Grandpa Liu also liked the Li family's food very much, after all, Grandpa Liu had also tasted Zhao Yunlan's cooking skills.

After drinking and eating, Mrs. Liu was the first to leave. After all, he had a son who was an official, so it was always inconvenient. He thought that he could not bring Liu Yuan to the exhibition next time, otherwise he would not have the best time. .

Liu Yuanzhan was not recognized by the villagers, but Zhao Yunlan's family was always somewhat restrained.

Shopkeeper Wu watched Liu's family leave, and didn't stay any longer. After all, the two families will marry in-laws in a few days, and there are still a lot of things to do at home.

The villagers helped the Li family clean up the tables and chairs and went home. Zhao Yunlan saw that there were still some leftovers, which were all uneaten meat, so she asked the woman who came to help in the morning to pack them and take them back.

The Li family is now leaving the Wang family and the Zhao family, and the three families sit together in the house to keep warm, eat snacks and chat.

Now that there are many houses, it is convenient to keep people.
