Chapter 90 Greetings
The main hall of Patriarch Li's house is spacious and bright, and is also decorated with a set of chairs and tables. It is also divided into two halls by a screen. This side is for entertaining guests, and the other side is a place for eating. At this moment, in the main hall , Patriarch Li took the upper seat, while Old Mrs. Chen took the old lady Ding to sit at the bottom right.

Ding Rongguang, Wang and Ding Fengye sat at the bottom left in turn.

Brothers Li Jizu and Li Jizong also sat in the last seat on the right.

Everyone in the room watched and listened to Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mrs. Ding holding hands and talking about old times.

After listening to it, Patriarch Li finally understood what the relationship was.

It turns out that Mrs. Ding’s mother is her father-in-law’s cousin, and they have a grandfather.

His father-in-law had helped Mrs. Ding and her son back then. Later, Mr. Ding became rich and his father-in-law was no longer here. However, it was his brother-in-law who received this kindness in return.

He finally remembered that his brother-in-law came to the house before and said that his nephew had found a good job in the city with the help of some relatives, and he would get his wages back home every month. It was very safe. The daughter-in-law can earn two ounces of money a month by working as a wet nurse for a wealthy family in the city!
It turns out that relative was referring to the Ding family.

It turns out that there is such a connection. Come to think of it, the other party's family came to visit today, is it really a visit to reminisce about old times, right?

Thinking like this, Patriarch Li's concern disappeared and he spoke to Ding Fuguang enthusiastically.

When relatives come to the house, they naturally have to be warmly entertained. The Li family are all hospitable people.

After reminiscing and exchanging pleasantries, it was natural to introduce their children to each other.

Mrs. Ding first pointed out her son and daughter-in-law to Old Chen, and then her grandson. The three of them all greeted Old Chen and Patriarch Li one by one, and then greeted the brothers Li Jizu.

Mrs. Chen then called her daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter in and introduced them one by one.

"This is the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law. This is their eldest son, named Rong Zhen. Their granddaughter-in-law, Tong, is already married. This is the second daughter, Caifeng. They also have a younger son, Rong, who is in school and not at home. This is the second child and his daughter-in-law, their eldest son Rongchuan, and their granddaughter-in-law Mengshi - the second daughter Caiyu and the third daughter Caiyun.

I also have a daughter, Chunmei, who is married in Changqing Village. I will introduce her to you Daxiang later!
It's been a few decades. At that time, I heard my father say that you were not doing well, and I felt a little worried for you. Unfortunately, you were too far away, and I was useless and couldn't do anything for you. No matter what, they say good things come to good people. Fortunately, Daxiang, you gave birth to a good son, so all the hardships are finally over! It sounds like I’m very happy for you too! "

Speaking of youth, Old Mrs. Ding couldn't help but blush. The man she married was an inhumane person. Fortunately, that beast was a short-lived ghost. She and her son had to suffer so many looks at them and it took so much effort to get out of that quagmire. !

"It was all thanks to my cousin back then. Otherwise, how could we, mother and son, be where we are today? I should have come and walked with you a long time ago! I'm just afraid, cousin, that you would be concerned about me, an unknown person!"

This man is getting older, and his body and bones are getting worse day by day. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to wake up when I close my eyes. No, I'm shameless and don't care if you dislike me or not, cousin, I'm here! "

"Why do you say that, Daxiang? Why would I dislike you? Let's move around more from now on!" Old Chen said.

"Hey!" Old Mrs. Ding happily responded. She was also open-hearted. She turned around and praised Old Chen's son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter, praising the prosperity of this person. She was really envious of it!
Then he asked the maid to bring out the greeting gifts and gave them to Fan and others.

When Old Chen saw this, he was about to stop him, "Why do you have to spend money on this?"

Old Mrs. Ding only said: "It is appropriate for me to give my nephew, nephew and daughter-in-law a meeting gift! Cousin, please don't see me outside!"

Old Chen couldn't stop him, and he couldn't come up with any kind of greeting gift, so he just thought that he would have a good meal at noon to entertain him. That was the greatest sincerity.

She wanted to accompany and greet Daxiang, but she couldn't move away. She immediately winked and asked her daughter-in-law to go to the house of killing chickens and ducks, and there were also the coachman's servants who came with them. There were quite a lot of people, and they were too busy! Hurry, go to the clan and call some wives to help!
Several carriages stopped in front of Patriarch Li's house, and distinguished guests came. The clansmen living on the left and right had already paid attention to it. When Mrs. Lu came out and shouted, many of the wives of the clan put on aprons and rolled up their sleeves. They came over to help. They also brought the eggs they had saved, helped kill chickens and ducks, and helped pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

There were also younger members of the clan who helped run errands to Shanghe Village across the street and Changqing Village in Qiantou to see if there was any mutton, pork, and fish on sale today and buy some back.

Seeing this heated scene, Ding Fuguang also nodded secretly, turned around and started talking to Chief Li, and the conversation was always directed towards the clan members.

Patriarch Li was also proud of the fact that his Li family had a prosperous population. He didn’t think much about it when he spoke, “The one who lives in the room closest to ours has two rooms, both of which came from the same grandfather——”

Ding Fuguang immediately smiled and said: "There are so many tribesmen, it's hard to recognize them all, but the close relatives of this tribe are all your cousins, why don't we call them over and recognize them all?" If you recognize someone, you can become famous if you meet them at the market or in the city, right?"

It was impossible for him to call Pomegranate's family directly, so he could only take a roundabout way, but thinking that the people Chief Li would call would be all the men, he was thinking about how to make the conversation less abrupt so that he could see Pomegranate smoothly. .

Unexpectedly, when Patriarch Li heard what he said, he thought he was smart and played into his hands.

Patriarch Li had found out before that he was the shopkeeper of Datong Warehouse, so he thought it would be fine if they all knew each other, especially since Jihe's family was engaged in wooden box business and often went to the city, so there was someone like him who could be acquainted with him. My relatives are out there, and they can help me if I have something to do!
And pomegranates are indispensable for the affairs of Jihe's family——

Therefore, he immediately nodded in agreement, and even asked his eldest grandsons Rongzhen and Rongchuanma to take a break, and went separately to call Father Li, Li Yishan, and the others, but he did not forget to tell him to remember to call Pomegranate too.

It doesn't look like just calling Pomegranate, call all the old Yuan family and old Yang family, just in time to chat with old Mrs. Ding.

Ding Fuguang listened secretly and couldn't help but smile. It was so good that he didn't need to think about what he was saying!

This also allowed him to see that this girl Shiliu is very capable and can gain face in front of the clan leader.

Mrs. Wang on the side was secretly paying attention to his expression. She had just taken a close look at the three granddaughters of her cousin's family, and judging from her husband's reaction, it was not that girl.

Okay, her husband wanted to know her cousin's third cousins, so she knew that the girl must be in these families.

And what kind of pomegranate did her cousin mention? With the way her husband was sitting as firm as a pine tree, she was sure that the girl was called pomegranate!
At that moment, she felt motivated. She took a trip today just to see what this girl was like. Just hearing the name, she secretly murmured, it is a good and blessed name!

There are three families in the same tribe as the patriarch. They are all divided into families, and some of them work in Shiliu's carpentry. It will not be a short time to support them all.

Here, Ding Fuguang and Patriarch Li chatted for a long time before waiting for people to arrive one after another.

Li Yishan and his two sons and grandsons, Father Li and his three sons and grandsons, and his third uncle Li Xinguang’s sons and grandsons.

As soon as they came in, there was no room for them to stand in the main room, and the juniors all stood outside.

Pomegranate, who was extremely curious in her heart, also followed her grandmother and uncle into the main room with the mentality of watching the excitement. She stood at the threshold of the main room, took a quick look inside, and was stunned.

What the hell?
A relative of the patriarch’s grandfather’s family is Shopkeeper Ding?
