The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1388: Serving wine in the ancestral hall
He Shaoying's life was extremely smooth during this period. He went shopping every day, and did not return to Baijiacun until the day before his sixtieth birthday.

At this time, preparations for her birthday banquet had begun. The cook hired several helpers to kill pigs and sheep in the yard, and then cooked and stewed the meat and vegetables. The aroma from the big pots filled the whole village. .

The ancestral hall in the village was also decorated for her birthday banquet. There were red lanterns and red paper with the Chinese character "longevity" written on them everywhere. There was also a red carpet on the ground, and even the surrounding green plants were hung with red paper cutouts. Little red flower.

According to the rules of the village, daughters-in-law married from outside are not eligible to hold birthday banquets in the ancestral hall, only men from the village can.

But Bai Meixi invested a lot of money this time, not only improving the food for the people in the village, but also repairing the roof of the ancestral hall, so the village chief naturally agreed happily.

"Old Mrs. He is back. Congratulations. This is the only time in our village that your [-]th birthday is so lively."

As soon as they saw He Shaoying, the villagers came over to congratulate her. In the past two days, the broth and meat bones she had cooked at her home were reserved for cooking, and the rest was shared among the villagers. to have a good meal.

Moreover, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Bai family had explained early that they would not accept gifts from everyone at this birthday banquet. As long as the village chief came forward and sent a birthday gift on behalf of the whole village, that would be enough.

This news made everyone extremely happy. Normally, when attending other people's wedding banquets and birthday banquets, you would have to give a few dollars or pack a few snacks before you dare to take the whole family to eat.

Now it's all for nothing. They wish they could have more such activities and see more meat and fish a few times a year.

"The children insisted on doing it for me, but I had no choice but to agree. They also bought these clothes and jewelry for me, and they also said they wanted to build a new house at home. It's annoying to have all these things put together."

He Shaoying listened to the congratulations of these people and pretended to refuse. She deliberately showed off the gold jewelry on her hand. One ring alone weighed more than ten grams, which was so bright that it made people's eyes shine.

Even Bai Huli put on new clothes and fiddled with her hair from time to time, just to let people see the gold ring on her finger.

Having a piece of gold jewelry is a big deal in rural areas. Just a ring weighing two to three grams is enough to make many people look back.

Even a silver bracelet has to be shown off for a long time, saying that it is something passed down from generation to generation by one's ancestors.

He Shaoying's gold jewelry weighs at least [-] or [-] grams, and she can build two three-story buildings in the countryside.

"Sister, I think your little treasure is quite old. Does he have a partner? I have a niece who is sixteen years old. She is good-looking and has a good character. Let them meet her some other time."

"Your niece is pretty good-looking. Those two big teeth look like rabbits. My niece is beautiful. She just graduated from high school this year and she speaks in a refined manner."

Everyone in the room wanted to marry the grandson of the Bai family, hoping that their family could join this wealthy family.

Unexpectedly, He Shaoying waved his hand and directly told everyone that their eldest grandson was already known and had a master.

"That girl's family is also in business. As you know, getting married now is all about being of the same family. Naturally, my granddaughter-in-law's family background cannot be too bad. In fact, the two children may not live in her hometown. It's just the girl's parents' tradition that the children must be there. I have a house in my hometown, and that’s what I mean. No matter how good the life outside is, it’s not my roots.” He Shaoying rolled his eyes at the people around him, thinking that they were all toads who wanted to eat swan meat. As soon as he saw that his family was rich, he wanted to Of course she would not go along with their wishes if she sent her daughter in.

Unfortunately, the person Bai Xiaowei found himself was not very good. She came to Yuelou City from the countryside to work. She had several brothers and sisters in the family and had little money.

He Shaoying was naturally dissatisfied, but Bai Xiaowei was obsessed with her and refused to marry her, and even agreed to buy a house in the city.

Not only He Shaoying disagreed with this matter, but Bai Xiaowei's parents and even Bai Huli disagreed.

If they really buy a house and get married in the city, it will definitely be a huge expense. Even if they can afford the money, Bai Xiaowei cannot be allowed to go out and live alone. Otherwise, the girl's parents and brothers and sisters in the countryside will immediately If they squeeze in, their life will be difficult.

In order to stop that family from thinking about it, Bai Xiaowei's parents deliberately said that they would let their son return to his hometown to develop in the future and take care of He Shaoying. Naturally, he could only live in the old house in his hometown. Moreover, the family's business was not good, so the bride price would be waived. .

I thought they would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but when they saw that the Bai family was well off, the family tried their best to bring their daughter in. Even if they couldn't receive the betrothal gift for a while, it didn't matter. Instead, it made He Shaoying very embarrassed. In the end, in Bai Xiaowei insisted and had to swallow the uncomfortable fly.

He Shaoying's birthday banquet was served on a flowing table, which started early in the morning and lasted until dark. A stage was set up at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and people sang non-stop, making the whole village immersed in excitement and celebration. among.

The village chief delivered the prepared gift early in the morning. This birthday gift was divided into three small portions. The first portion was a roasted pig. After worshiping the ancestors, He Shaoying distributed it to everyone. This was something that only the most respected elders in the village could do. Things, He Shaoying can do this is definitely the highest honor enjoyed by a woman in the village.

The second copy was a handwritten letter written by the head of the Bai family. He recorded today's birthday banquet in the village records, so that future generations can see today's event.

The third share is a good beam for the Bai family to use in renovating the house to show that they have been there for generations.

These three gifts gave He Shaoying enough face and were more practical than giving electrical appliances.

The villagers immediately went crazy when they saw these gifts. The village chronicles here have been recorded for hundreds of years, and they are full of great people. It is unprecedented that a village woman like He Shaoying can be listed on the list. .

However, no one dared to say anything. After all, people have short mouths. Now that they had stuffed the stewed elbow into their mouths, they could not spit it out at this time, so they had no choice but to let He Shaoying's name be respected with the heads of the Bai family.

When Bai Meixi saw the scene in front of her, she felt that money could really make a difference. The only thing she asked her eldest brother to prepare for the village chief was the beam. As for the other things, Luo Bing came forward to buy them. .

He is now the God of Wealth in Baijia Village. As long as he speaks, no one in the village dares to disobey.

Bai Meixi felt that it was reasonable to include He Shaoying's birthday banquet in the village annals. After all, the village could be what it is now because of her daughter's help. Otherwise, the sideline business here would probably take ten or eight years to complete. developed.
