The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

The next day, several female dolls came to the school to register, and Li Mingmei was responsible for registering everyone.

There were also a few girl dolls of the same age as Mingmei. Seeing Li Mingmei's appearance now, she was no longer the black and thin girl before, and she felt a burst of envy in her eyes.

"Mingmei, write down the names of me and my sister too." It was Li Dahua, the daughter of Li Qingnian's family in the village who spoke.

Back then, Li Dahua's family was much richer than Mingmei's family. In just a few short years, the two of them have made a turn, and it is not so easy to catch up with Mingmei's pace.

"Okay, Dahua, Xiaoling, I have written them all for you, and Shu Xiu can just hand it over to Xia Xiang."

Li Dahua handed over Shu Xiu, turned around and asked, "Mingmei, are you the husband for us?"

Li Mingmei shook her head with a smile: "No! It's my Nanny Cui, who used to be my teacher at home. Hey~ I still want to come to the school to play with you, but my mother has been very tight lately."

Li Dahua knew in her heart that now Li Mingmei was considered an official lady, so there were naturally many rules.Besides, everyone is a big girl now, so it's not easy to hang around outside.

"That's right. I also begged my parents for a long time to come to this school to study. Finally, yesterday the village chief had a meeting. I took this opportunity to fight for it again. I~ I want to recognize you before I get married. Some words, some reading.

I was so envious of my younger brother who came to study in the school. When he came home from school, he pestered him to teach me every day. As a result, this kid couldn't learn well by himself, but he was anxious to death.Now that I can go to school, I must study hard.

Li Dahua lamented this hard-won opportunity to study, as if there was a light shining in his eyes.

Some well-known families in the village were arranged in various positions for the sacrificial ceremony. Under the leadership of Li Zongping, the sacrificial ceremony began in an orderly manner.

The old Taoist priest performed a ceremony, and then each family sent people to arrange the ancestors of the family in the ancestral hall one by one according to their seniority.After the ranking was finished, the sacrificial ceremony began under the leadership of Li Zongping. The children and grandchildren of each family lined up and performed three worships and nine kowtows. Even Xiao Ruiwen was arranged to kowtow together at the back.

"Mother, I..." Li Mingli faltered.

Li Mingli nodded: "Then I'll pick them up and bring Rui Wen back."

"Sit down, everyone. From today on, I will teach you how to read and write. Of course, if you are willing to listen more, I will also teach you other etiquettes."

Sure enough, when Dahua went back and told her mother that she would marry after the age of [-], she was almost escorted by her parents to find Li Mingmei to retreat. It's over.

After returning from Zhaojiagou, Wang waited for news from Jiang's side. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the priests to ask for a ranking.

"Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of the master."

"Third son, the ancestral hall in our village has also been built. Your Uncle Chunsheng said that he wanted to invite your ancestors back to enshrine. He originally wanted your elder brother to come back to handle the matter, but your elder brother is not coming back now, what I mean Yes, you write to your second brother and ask him to come back and do this with you."

Li Dahua changed her mind after hearing this: "If this is the case, then I can still study for a few more years!"

"Hey, Dad, otherwise I'll let the fourth child come back with him. He is still a child now. The eldest brother is not here, so the fourth child is fine. Let him come back to show our ancestors that our Li family has also produced a scholar."

Wang: "What are you, stay at home for me, and I will come back as soon as I go."

The village head called the oldest third grandfather in the village to preside over the ceremony. The offerings for the sacrifice were purchased from the money left over from the village’s previous ancestral hall. Old man Li decided to pull a whole sheep and a pig from his home as the main offerings.

Old man Li: "Okay, let him come back."

The ancestral hall is going on solemnly and solemnly, and the outside of the ancestral hall is very lively. The aunts and sisters-in-law in the village are busy preparing today's meals.Today's sacrifice is a big day in the village, and the whole village must have a good meal.Every household took out rice, noodles, meat and vegetables from home, and volunteered to help cook if they couldn't get too much.

The day of the sacrifice was set to be five days later, Li Mingli asked Datou to go to Fucheng to pass the message, and he went to the county to pick up the uncle and nephew who were studying.

"It seems that everyone wants to write a few more big characters today. In this case, five more big characters are required for today's homework, and the writing is required to be neat."

"Row!"

My sister sent me to study together. I really envy her now that she is young and can study for a few more years. "

At the Li family's mansion, Mrs. Wang planned to go to Zhaojiagou, this time to ask Mrs. Jiang to help talk about the matter with the third child and the daughter of the Zhao family.

"Ah."

Everyone was emotional, talking non-stop around Li Mingmei, Li Mingmei was not impatient, and talked about getting married while talking.

The girls' class started, and the boys' side kept making noises. Mr. He knocked on the ruler twice.

Li Mingli nodded: "Okay, then I'll write a letter to ask my second brother to come back."

There is an empty field between the men's classroom and the girls' classroom, which Zhao Yunlan planned to use as a playground, but this playground is not used yet, so a garden was built in the middle, which can be regarded as the dividing line between male and female students.

Except for the girls from Li Bao and Zhang Mei's family, the other girls persuaded their parents because Da Hua came to study.

Li Dahua was completely shy by this straightforward question, she lowered her head and said, "Not yet! But my mother keeps talking to me every day."

The women's class was started, although there were only seven girls, Mingli and Mingmei, who were in charge of it, were very happy.

The class was quiet now, and the boys listened to Mr. He's lecture honestly.

Mammy Cui was heartbroken, looking at the students sitting on the seats, she was always moved indescribably.

Li Mingmei: "My sister-in-law wrote a letter saying that women don't need to rush to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Most of the official ladies in the capital get married after they are eighteen. My sister-in-law said that it is good for women's health."

The men, old and young, all dressed up and stood in a row. Before offering sacrifices, they had to invite their ranks to the ancestral hall. This work had to be done by old Taoist priests.

"Hello, Mr. Cui!" Several girls stood up and saluted Madam Cui. This was taught by Li Mingmei before. In the school, anyone who teaches, regardless of gender, is called Mr.

"Dahua, have you started to see each other?" Li Mingmei asked curiously, now that she is detained at home by Mrs. Wang, she doesn't know much about these little friends in the village.

After Mrs. Wang left, old man Li came to find Li Mingli.

Li Dahua suddenly became excited, and Li Mingmei always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know where the problem was.

Li Mingli knew that this was the rule, so he could only nod his head obediently and wait at home for news from Mrs. Wang.

Li Mingmei blinked and blinked: "Yes!"

Although people with foreign surnames in the village cannot participate in the sacrifice, the village head still invited them to have a meal and celebrate.

Mrs. Wang not only delivered a few baskets of meat and vegetables, but also sent her fat sister-in-law to be the chef to make overall arrangements for today's meals.

After the sacrificial men came out, the food began to be served outside, and the tables were placed on the road outside the ancestral hall until they were lined up inside. Looking at a long queue, the third grandfather Li Zongping burst into tears. Holding back the tears, now that I'm out, I can't hold back anymore.

The village head helped Li Zongping to sit at the main table, and called the old man Li's family to sit with him. Everyone surrounded Li Zongping and said some happy words, and the elder slowly stopped crying.

"Dinner is ready~" the village chief yelled, and the village shouted loudly, and Li Zongping was filled with emotion.
