The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 296

Lai's natal family is in the next-door village, one mile away, and it's not in the same town, and it's actually not far from their town.

Li's family is in the same town, two miles away from the edge of the town.

Hongji drove the ox cart to the town, passing by the second sister and her in-law's shop, only to see the two women guarding two shops here.

The two men in the family may have gone to buy goods. As for the little doll, it may be placed in the inner room, and they are also receiving guests.

Instead of going to their house today, Hongji didn't choose to stop, and stopped the car after passing by a place where pork was sold.

When I went to my mother’s house, my daughter-in-law prepared gifts and chickens, and pork was another important point. It’s not that there is no pork in the village. When every family has a festival, the ones sold are more expensive, and there is no choice.

"Boss, come to buy pork!"

Hongji parked the cart in front of the pork stall. The pork seller was neat and knew Hongji.

The pork boss is a man of a different gender in Li's village, who sells pork with his wife.

Both of them were too busy during this festival, so they killed a few more pigs to sell more pork for the festival, and the whole family came out to sell pork.

A glamorous boss like Acer knows that a big client is coming as soon as he shows up.

"Weigh ten and a half catties of fat and thin, ten catties of fat plate, and five catties of this pork belly."

When the boss heard that Hongji wanted to buy tens of catties of pork at once, his smile grew wider. While selling the pork without hesitation, the price was not too expensive, and he also gave him some pork bones without hesitation.

When Hongji saw the trotters, he asked the boss to name the two trotters as well.

For this transaction, Hongji spent a lot of money, and it was within his tolerance, but it only cost a dozen or so taels.

These dozens of catties of pork can go back to her natal family in a good way, and her natal family has relatives, so they can cook several tables of feasts.

Hongji prepared for the daughter-in-law's natal elder sister and brother-in-law's family to come, as well as some other relatives, so there must be some tables on the second day of the new year.

What kind of melons and vegetables are not in his consideration, and his wife's family has also planted a few acres of land to grow vegetables, and they sell vegetables all year round, so how can they be short of vegetables to eat.

Hongji paid, and the pork shop owner put the pork in sacks next to the bullock cart he was sitting on.

The bullock cart stopped, and the people in the cart only heard the sound.

Ye Shiqi started the bullock cart again, and vaguely heard the voice of the boss who sold pork before.

"Hey, there are a few more big customers like this today, and the pigs that were killed will be sold out in one morning."

Then I heard a female voice say: "Who was that person just now? Why did he make such a generous move?"

Then I heard a woman's voice: "Guest, you don't know, do you? That's a rich man buying meat to go to his mother's house, then the Li family in the same village as us in the village ahead."

The female voice just now realized again:

"Oh, now that I think about it, is it the Li family I've heard about, whose son-in-law is a rich man in Bushen Village who just made a fortune in the past few years?"

A female voice said: "That's right!"

Ye Shiqi... Hearing the sound from here, she glanced at her mother and smiled.

"Fifth sister, are you happy to see that we have entered the village of grandpa and grandma?"

Ye Fengqi hugged Ye Shiqi and said with a smile, the five sisters have been sitting in a row hugging each other since they got in the car, and they won't fall when they walk around in the car.

"Well, I'm laughing too, my father has been upgraded to a rich man, and our mother has become a rich man's wife!"

Hearing what Ye Shiqi said, everyone in the bullock cart laughed.

"Hey Hey!"

"This child is very lively today!"

Li Shi smiled shyly.

"Our Fifth Sister is actually quite lively, ordinary people don't have the same knowledge as him!"

Ye Xinqi commented.

The other sisters also nodded.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ye Shiqi asked again.

The sisters shook their heads together!

Hongji, who was sitting in front of the ox cart, also said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, my daughter is praising us, we must bear the praise, and we will work harder this year."

"Well, what my husband said is true!"

Li's answer is:

"Daughter-in-law, my mother's house is here!"

After Acer said this, he was already slowly moving around the world.

Mrs. Li followed with a hum.

They heard the sound of someone walking. It was someone who came out of a nearby room and came to pick them up in their ox cart.

Hongji saw his first brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, their daughter-in-law and children, and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law all came out of the house.

He greeted with a smile: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Happy New Year, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, this year's New Year's dress is more energetic."

"Haha, good to be here!" said Grandpa Li's voice.

Grandma Li ran over to pick her up in an ox cart.

Hongji handed over the sack of pork to his brother-in-law by the way.

"It's pork!"

"Brother-in-law, what a great gift!" Li Zhihao didn't choose to say expensive and auspicious words for the new year as usual, and then very rudely carried these dozens of catties of things into the house with one hand.

Neighbors and family members also ran out to watch the excitement, and their eyes were envious when they saw the gift.

Then more envious behind.

Grandma Li went to pick up people in the back compartment of the bullock cart, and her eldest son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and Grandpa Li also followed.

"Grandma, grandpa! Uncle, aunt, little aunt, cousin, cousin, cousin.

Opening the carriage, the first thing the five sisters saw was grandma, and then a group of relatives shouted.

"Oh, good grandson, good granddaughter is here!"

"Father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, younger siblings." Li Shi also called out.

The little maid just didn't know how to call her next time, and everyone didn't mind.

Everyone who was called answered and helped them off the bullock cart one by one.

After helping the man out of the bullock cart, everyone helped move the gifts into the house, and the hands of those who came to pick him up were full of things.

What outsiders saw was that there was a chicken coop containing several hens, which looked like big and fat chickens.

It was packed in boxes and cartons, full of gifts that I don't know what they are.

In other people's minds, it must be food and drink, as well as clothing, such a heavy gift, their family does not have such relatives, and they are not so generous.

Grandpa Li and grandma are used to such heavy gifts when their son-in-law and daughter come.

In the past two years, they received gifts and didn't get much in return. In the past two years, their family has become a little richer, and they have been much more generous in making New Year's goods.

Hongji drove the ox cart to the yard of his father-in-law's house, and went in for a cup of tea under the warm hospitality of his father-in-law's family.

Mrs. Li hugged her son, and when a group of them went inside, her mother took the son in her hands.

The half-year-old baby chose to keep her eyes open at this time. Maybe she remembered Grandma Li's appearance in her little head, and she didn't cry in her arms. She stared at her cute eyes and looked around curiously.

The eldest aunt served food to the dolls who came, Ye Shiqi and her sisters, accompanied by cousins, cousins, and cousins, drank tea and ate food.

With more houses, their family is much more lively.

Ye Shiqi looked at the dim sum in her hands, it should be a kind of rice cake made of glutinous rice, she didn't think it was a rice cake sold in a shop outside, it should be a food made by relatives and family members.

She took a bite of the pastry, and it tasted soft and glutinous with the sweetness of sesame seeds in her mouth. It felt good, but she only tasted a piece, and she also tasted a little bit of other food, and she resolutely refused to touch those fried ones. food.

The adults chatted for a while after meeting, and then welcomed the aunt, the uncle's family, and other relatives.

After some hospitality, those who want to work and cook must go to work.

Although Hongji and Li's family has become much richer in the past two years, they have cooks, maids and workers. When they came to Li's house, the couple could not be guests, and they helped cook a big meal.

Mrs. Li handed over the youngest son to his mother, and asked several daughters to help him take a look.

A few adults go to cook a few tables of meals together, and they don't need the help of the juniors.

Ye Shiqi listened to the chatting of her cousins, and the older ones had already entered private schools. In the past two years, only when their families were better could they go to school, and their parents were willing to buy them pens and inks.

The sallow and thin appearance of my aunt's child in the past has improved a lot in the past two years. According to their tone, that cousin has also gone to a private school.

The private school where they study is not in the county seat, but a private school established in the town.

There are several scholar teachers in it, and the person who founded the private school is also a scholar.

There are several gentlemen's private schools, and several classrooms have been established, but they are actually just ordinary mud-and-tiled houses, and each room accommodates more than a dozen students.

These students are from better families in this town, and they go to school so that their children can read and write.

I heard from my cousins ​​that they only read the Four Books and Five Classics. As for the courses for all-round talents in civil and military affairs, only Xinghe Academy in the county can teach them.

As students, of course, they also hope to make progress, but the county is so far away from home, and the tuition fees are more expensive. It is their greatest happiness to be able to study in a private school.

Being close to home and being able to eat at home, living at home saves a lot of money compared to going out.

It seems that people have realized that there are thousands of roads, and only reading is good!

The cousins ​​began to talk about their clothes, and they all praised the beautiful clothes their sisters wore. The beautiful colors of pink and red are what girls like.

I am also quite envious of the silver hairpins on the heads of their sisters. They are all just head flowers made of leftover rags from making clothes, and they are reluctant to spend money to buy hair ties outside.

In addition to the silver hairpins, the Ye family sisters also had beautiful head flowers bought outside, which were not bought by their sisters or their parents.

It was Tang Shunyan who asked people to buy and give them away. Seeing the beautiful headwear used by the sisters in the family, he asked people to buy them. Not only did they give Ye Shiqi a gift, but they also gave beautiful headwear to other sisters in the Ye family.

There are also unused headgears in Ye Shiqi's space, these are all made of beautiful rags, and many things Tang Shunyan sent were not completely placed in the room.

She took out a small cloth bag from the pocket of her coat. Others saw that she took it out of the outer pocket, but it was actually taken out in the space.

"Little cousin, what is this?"

Ye Shiqi wanted to give presents to her cousins, but she didn't tell her sisters. At this time, her sisters just watched and didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

Be cautious with your words, and you can't make casual promises between relatives!

The sisters heard that their cousins ​​appreciated the tiaras on their heads, but it was a pity that they had no idea to give gifts to the sisters before.

Ye Shiqi opened the small cloth bag, and immediately attracted voices of admiration from her cousins:
"Wow, what a beautiful tiara!"

The girls were so happy that they couldn't help touching it with their hands, or picking up a tiara to look at.

When the boys heard the laughter of the girls, they turned their heads and saw the headgear that the girls like. In fact, the boys also need to tie their hair with cloth, and they will also wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Items will come with admiring eyes.

Ye Shiqi's older sisters smiled, their headdresses were beautiful, and the younger sister's items were even more beautiful. Sometimes they also wanted Fifth Sister's items, but they could only think in their hearts that they were given to Fifth Sister by someone else.

They can use appreciative eyes and envy, but they can't snatch possession. This is not something a sister can do.

The headgear in front of them is not expensive, but they rarely go to the county seat. It can be said that the sisters only go to the county seat once, and they didn't buy anything in the county seat that time, let alone go shopping outside.

"Isn't she pretty?" Ye Shiqi asked her cousins ​​proudly.

"Mmmmmmm beautiful!" the girls said in more or less unison, nodding to show they really liked it.

"Then do you want it?" Ye Shiqi asked again seductively.

"Want...but..."

"Cousin, we can't take your things."

The cousins ​​looked at each other with reluctance, but they knew the rules. After all, it was someone else's property, and they didn't say to give it away. Even if they gave it away, they had to weigh whether to accept it or not.

"Hey, I have a lot of beautiful jewelry, and these are for you."

Ye Shiqi's words are so generous.

The cousins ​​looked at her with a happy smile and looked forward to it. They felt that it was not good to receive a gift and not give it away, and their expressions were a little shy.

They looked at Ye Shiqi, embarrassed to express her opinion.

"Seeing that you like it so much, each of you chooses a headgear from here, which is my New Year's gift to you."

"Really?" Uncle's eldest daughter asked a little uncertainly, she was afraid that the younger cousin would cry after giving the gift.

"Of course, what you say is like pouring water, if you don't like it, you don't have to!"

At this time, the girls could not help but choose their favorite headgear one after another, and they always felt that they liked every headgear.

Every headgear is different. It would be great if each one belonged to them. They can wear different ones every day. This can only be thought secretly. It is already very happy to have a beautiful headgear.

Ye Shiqi chose a headdress among her cousins, and there was still a little left, but she didn't continue to give it away, and put away the cloth bag.

The cousins ​​happily found the mirror and tied the gifts they received on their heads. Looking at the beautiful headdresses on their heads in the mirror, they laughed even more happily.

"Cousin, why do you just give gifts to cousins, we don't!"

Uncle's eldest son is already twelve or thirteen years old, so he is joking. How can they ask for gifts from girls?

"Hee, hee hee, my little cousin also gave us presents!"

My aunt's son, my uncle's eldest son, and my uncle's youngest son all talked one after another.

"You want gifts? But do you have gifts in return?"

Ye Shiqi's adult soul and doll's body can be seen clearly at a glance, they are laughing at her.
