After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 89 Is there a throne to inherit? (four more)
A few days before the snowfall, Lu Daxiong quietly went to the butcher's house, put away some tanned leather, and then went to Shangliu Village.

After Lu Hehua figured out his reason for coming, she naturally agreed happily.

When Lu Daxiong came back yesterday, he took a detour and went to Shangliu Village first.

Those rabbit skins made a total of seven hand warmers. After thinking about it, Lu Daxiong left three for Lu Hehua, and brought back the remaining four.

At this time, Lu Daxiong was somewhat regretful. If he had known that his daughter-in-law was so afraid of the cold, he should have kept more leather.

It's good now, apart from a leather mattress, there are only these hand warmers in the room.

When he went back, Lu Daxiong had been thinking about hunting a few foxes in the coming year, and then making a fox fur cloak for his wife, which would be warm to wear.

Chen Xingyan was indeed afraid of the cold.

Also because of this, she seldom goes out since it got cold.

There are earth dragons in the house, no matter from the main room to the side room, the room is warm, so I don't feel too sad.

After admiring the snow for a while, Chen Xingyan suddenly said, "There is not a single footprint in the snow. The corridor he walked in today?"

"Miss Hui, my uncle almost stepped on it, but then he stopped abruptly. I saw with my own eyes that my uncle turned back again, and then walked to the east corridor."

"Well, let's go, don't keep everyone waiting, besides, the snow has not been swept, isn't it too good?"

Qi smiled and said nothing.

When Chen Xingyan reached the front yard, he realized that the snow scene in the back yard was more beautiful.

Seeing her coming, Lu Daxiong quickly took out a cotton cloak and wrapped her up.

"Put some on. I'll make you a cloak later."

Chen Xingyan shook his head, "No need, I don't go out much, it's not cold."

The more she was like this, the more Lu Daxiong felt that he had to treat his wife better.

Just after breakfast, Lu Xiaoliu came over with a shovel and a broom.

Wang said with a smile: "This child is really sensible. He came here before dawn. He heard that he wanted to keep it for you to enjoy the snow scene, so he just swept the snow out of the yard. I guess now. You have finished enjoying the scenery, so come here to sweep the snow again."

Chen Xingyan's face was slightly embarrassed, and she didn't expect that Lu Daxiong would spread the word that he wanted to enjoy the snow.

When the winter just entered earlier, she did say that she wanted to enjoy the snow, but she couldn't stop sweeping the snow just because of this!

Qi and Changpu were in charge of clearing the snow in the backyard. Chen Xingyan thought he had nothing to do, so he changed his clothes and started building snowmen with them.

Lu Daxiong prepared a pair of rabbit fur hand warmers for each of the four of them, and after breakfast, he went to the town to deliver them to Lu Xiaoniu.

Chen Xingyan was fiddling with the little snowman he had just made, and Mrs. Wang also came from the side door.

"Hey, is it cold? Come up quickly, don't freeze again later."

"It's alright, mother."

Even so, Chen Xingyan turned back to the corridor when the elder came.

After cleaning his hands, he sat next to a small stove with Mrs. Wang.

This small stove provided a wall of fire, which would only be ignited in the early afternoon in the first few days.

It was snowing today, and Lu Daxiong was worried that it would freeze her again, so he burned her early.

The two sat by the fire, and after a while their bodies became warm.

"The five-foot cloth you sent out before has helped many people, and the sets of winter clothes you made before can be regarded as a relief for those old people. After this snow, it will be easier in the future." It's getting colder every day."

"Mom, drink some water."

Wang Shi took it over with a smile, and the two chatted with each other.

"It's the patriarch's birthday in a few days, and our family has to express it. I heard what it means. This year is the patriarch's entire birthday. I want to set up a few tables. What do you think we should give?"

This really embarrassed Chen Xingyan.

The main reason is that she still doesn't understand the rules of Lujia Village very well.

Chen Xingyan said very humbly: "Just listen to your mother, we can give you whatever you think."

Mrs. Wang is very pleased that she knows so much, but she is not that kind of wicked mother-in-law, so she still has to speak clearly.

"Our branch is closer to the village head. The patriarch is our uncle and your grandfather. He is old and has a lot of prestige in the village over the years. I listen to his family The meaning seems to be thinking of re-electing a new patriarch."

Chen Xingyan nodded indifferently, this kind of thing has nothing to do with her.

"It stands to reason that the patriarch should be inherited by his sons. It is generally such an unwritten rule. It's just that the sons of the patriarch are dead, injured, and sick. I'm afraid they can't bear the burden. The post of patriarch."

Only then did Chen Xingyan understand her mother-in-law's meaning. It's because the patriarch's family members are not prosperous.

"The eldest grandson of the patriarch's family is not bad, but he is too young to suppress the scene. Youcai's father came to visit last night. Although I didn't listen carefully, your father said that he wanted us to support the village chief's work. Patriarch."

"village head?"

Chen Xingyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "The village chief is indeed qualified."

"I have the qualifications, but the problem is that the village chief cannot be regarded as someone from the main branch, so there must be many people who oppose it."

Chen Xingyan probably understood some power struggles within the clan.

In fact, he doesn't have much power, the main thing is to be the head of the clan, so he can naturally have a higher status among the clan.

In addition, things like rent collection and tax payment every year should be able to be done with a little mastery.

"There are clan rules in the clan. Regardless of the annual harvest of the fields in our Lujia Village, we have to collect a certain amount of clan food. On the one hand, there are people looking after the ancestral hall and some food is given. In winter, there will be people who can’t survive and will borrow food from the clan.”

Chen Xingyan nodded. She had heard this from Lu Daxiong before.

Borrowing food from the clan does not require interest, as long as you borrow, you will pay back when the next year's harvest is harvested.

Strictly speaking, this family of grain still has the meaning of a kind of reserve grain.

And it is also a kind of hope for those who have a hard time at home.

"The person who wants to be the head of the clan this time is not just the village head. The village head is far away from the main branch, and your two clan uncles are both from the main branch. They think they are the heirs of the main branch. The bloodline is more pure, so I think I have the advantage, so I have to trip up your village head uncle."

Chen Xingyan burst out laughing, is his blood pure?
Does Lujia Village have a throne to inherit?

It's such a small place, if it wasn't for the fact that she just wanted to live a stable life, she wouldn't be willing to marry in!

There is nothing left in the poor land, so why fight for the patriarch?
