It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 197 Arrangement
After Hua finished talking about the things in the shop, she always felt that she still had something to say. She raised her head inadvertently, saw the eaves of Su Rui's house, and slapped her thigh fiercely.

"Oh, look at my memory, I'm not in my [-]s and [-]s, I actually forgot such a big thing!!!"

Su Rui was taken aback, her heart was beating wildly.

"Auntie, what's the matter? What's the big deal?"

Mrs. Hua pointed to the beam in the hall of Su Rui's house, "The beam in our ancestral hall will be erected in two days."

Su Rui thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be a matter of going up the beam, so she asked in a relaxed tone.

"Have the beams been transported back?"

Mrs. Hua nodded and said happily: "It has been transported to the city. The lumber store in the city sent someone over today and said that they will arrange for someone to deliver it tomorrow. Let us send a few people to pick it up at the entrance of the village."

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "By the way, the patriarch also said today that five days later will be a good day for raising the beam."

Su Rui nodded, "Well, I see."

Compared to Su Rui's plainness, Wang was excited. Although she reconciled with Su Changhai, she was no longer qualified to witness the scene of going to Liang Ri. Although women couldn't watch the ceremony, her son could!
And for her, the stronger the clan, the better for the descendants of the Su clan.

Su Rui wasn't excited, firstly because the ancestral hall was built before the wheat harvest, she had seen it long ago, and secondly, what buildings hadn't been seen in modern times?It's just that buildings that are less than ten meters away really can't attract her curiosity.

Originally, the ancestral hall had prepared beams, but various suggestions were added and changed continuously during the construction of the house.

As a result, the larger the ancestral hall was built, the taller it was, the beams bought earlier were not suitable, and there were no suitable ones nearby.

Su Changle found out that the merchants in the county had ordered larger and better beams from the south before, so he found the merchant and ordered a suitable beam from his house, but because of the long distance and slow transportation, no, no It took two months before it was shipped back.

Three days before going up to the beam, Su Zheng and the head of the Su clan gathered the whole clan for a meeting at the gate of the old ancestral hall in the afternoon.

Su Zheng stood on the stage and shouted loudly: "The second day of August is a good day, that day is the day when our clan, the new ancestral hall will be erected..."

Before the patriarch could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Wow, it's finally going to be on the beam, that's great."

"Yeah, how long has it been? How many months?"

"Isn't it? I thought I wouldn't be on the beam this year."

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the big beam brought back from outside the day before yesterday? How could it be possible that the beam won't be installed this year?"

"I went back to my mother's house with the guy in my family that day, and I didn't know it!"

"Oh, oh, that's right!"

Su Zheng looked at the people below the stage who hadn't stopped whispering, frowned, and hit the ground several times heavily with his crutches.

"Be quiet, be quiet for me, and let me finish talking."

Everyone closed their mouths, and Su Zheng continued to speak with satisfaction.

"On the second day of August, the morning is the day of raising the beam. My family decided to donate a pig and a hundred catties of cornmeal to the family. As for other people's families, whether to donate food or manpower, it depends on the individual. Those who donate food, tonight Send it here to register before, so as not to delay the preparation of ingredients tomorrow."

"Wow!"

"The patriarch is really generous!"

After Su Zheng finished speaking, there was another commotion from the crowd, a pig, that is not cheap, it costs several taels of silver!
Su Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Zheng on the stage, thinking about what she would donate?Meat, the patriarch's family has already donated, food... how much is appropriate to donate?
After Su Zheng finished speaking, he carefully observed the people in the audience, and saw that some people had excited expressions, while others were a little bit reluctant.

However, Su Zheng understands that last year was a drought. Although there is no drought this year, there has been no rain for a month. Everyone is worried that this year will reduce production and there is not enough food. , There is no food to contribute."

"Okay, I've finished notifying everything, I'll go back to discuss it, donate food, or contribute energy, come and register in the afternoon."

"It's gone, it's gone, everyone is gone."

Su Rui led her younger siblings to her home, and Hua Shi and Lin Shi rushed up, "Rui girl, Rui girl! Stop!"

Su Rui stopped when she heard the voice, and waited for the two to come to her before asking, "Aunt Hua, Aunt Lin, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

Lin waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, what is your family planning to donate?"

Su Rui shook her head, "I don't know, what do the two aunts want to donate?"

Mrs. Hua answered, "Your Uncle Chang Le said to donate some flour, but you don't want to donate too much. Just donate [-] catties. You can mix it with the cornmeal donated by the patriarch and make steamed buns or pancakes."

Mrs. Lin also echoed, "Your Uncle Chang Ying also said to donate fifty catties of flour."

Su Rui nodded, "Okay, fifty catties of flour is more than one or two taels of silver. This amount is just right. The total value does not exceed that of the patriarch's family, nor is it much higher than that of the clansmen!"

Hua smiled, "Your Uncle Chang Le also said the same."

Lin asked: "Girl Rui, what is your family going to donate?"

Before Su Rui opened her mouth, Hua said: "Actually, I think that the entire ancestral hall and family history are covered with wild ginseng donated by Rui girl, so Rui girl should not donate anything."

Lin nodded in agreement, then sighed and said: "Hey...I think so too, but Chang Ying said that the whole Sujia village thinks that Rui girl has money, even if the ancestral hall and ethnology are donated by Rui girl, if Going to Liang Rirui's house doesn't pay a penny, so I have to help with the work, otherwise I won't say anything in person, but I will definitely discuss it behind my back, and after a long time, there will be bad reputation for Rui girl... ..."

Su Rui "..."

Knowing that it's not easy for women, Hua sighed, "Hey...yes."

Then he said bitterly: "It must be those gossiping women, who are having a strange mood every day."

"???"

Su Rui blinked her eyes, looked at Hua Shi in a daze, and asked her what she meant by this? ?

Mrs. Hua sighed, "You seldom come to the village. I don't know that those gossiping women like to sit on the well platform when they have nothing to do during the day, washing things and chatting nonsense at the same time! In the whole village, without them, they dare not arrange thing!"

Su Rui was speechless, "...So, are they talking about me?"

Su Rui thought for a moment, suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked Hua in an incredible way.
