Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1309 The Intention of the Clan

The person who came out behind the village chief was Fang Zhizhong. He hurried out and yelled: "It's almost time, let's start setting up the banquet!"

At this time, another donkey cart drove in at the entrance of the village. When it came close, Fang Zhizhong couldn't help but look at the people on the donkey cart with his eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "Uncle? Uncle?"

"Ah, you are the boss? Why do you only call your uncle and don't know your aunt?" An old lady with slightly gray hair said with a warm smile on her face.

"Zhizhong has seen uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, cousin Jishi!" Fang Zhizhong put away his thoughts and hurriedly bowed to welcome the guests.

Fang Xiaofu couldn't help being curious when he saw the movement outside in the corner of the courtyard.Where did this relative come from?

Soon, the old lady and Fang Yang got the letter and hurried out to greet her.It was only then that Fang Xiaofu knew that this was the elder brother of the old lady's natal family who had never visited her in her memory, so the uncle was called uncle and second uncle.

It's just that I haven't seen the old lady visit relatives, and I haven't heard anyone mention it, so she has no impression at all.Or, she just lost this part of the host's memory after time travelling...

Not long after, Fang Zijian also came in from the outside, presumably he also got the letter and came to salute.

The sisters-in-law of the two old ladies first went to the new house to see the bride and said some blessings, and then they were welcomed by the old lady and Fang Yang to sit in the room of the little sisters.

Because the matter in the main room hadn't been finished yet, and the old man and the second master hadn't believed him yet, Fang Zhizhong asked his two uncles and cousin to sit in the yard first, and then turned his head quickly to call someone for tea.

It happened that the sisters had all gone away, Fang Xiaofu immediately took over the job: "Uncle, wait a moment."

As a result, Fang Xiaofu hadn't gone far when he heard the displeased voice of his cousin Wang Jishi behind him.

"Cousin Zhizhong, does this mean that this relative doesn't want to kiss if he hasn't left all year round? It's really not easy for us to come here, but you treat him like a neighbor and let people sit in the yard, isn't it a little rude?"

"Cousin misunderstood." Fang Zhizhong looked embarrassed, and quickly apologized.

He explained: "Actually, two clan elders have also come from the Er clan today. They are discussing matters with my father, second uncle, the village head, and the elders of the Fang clan. Just wait a moment."

Fang Xiaofu curled his lips helplessly when he heard this, no matter if it's from the clan or from this old uncle's family, it's nothing to wake up...

Fang Xiaofu came to serve tea, he saluted very politely, called someone, served tea, put snacks and then left.She was young, and the uncle and cousin didn't look at her directly.

Fang Xiaofu went to serve tea to the two aunts and uncles.The two aunts and aunts took a look at her after receiving the tea, and asked the old lady, "Sister, which girl is this? They are so big!"

It seems that it has been a long time since we have contacted each other, and what Fang Zhizhong said just now was not intentional.

"This is San Lang's daughter-in-law. She entered the house early and has been raising her as a daughter." The old lady explained.

"Sanlang?" I didn't know whether it was the first uncle or the second uncle, so I muttered in amazement.

"The son of the second room, Mrs. Liu, married this little daughter-in-law ten years ago." The old lady's reaction was relatively flat, neither very happy nor very unhappy, just an ordinary courtesy.

Fang Xiaofu didn't know if it was his own delusion, but the guest mentioned her, and the old lady didn't say anything, so it was too late for her to leave, so she had to stand beside the old lady with a tray.

"Oh! It seems that I heard that your family picked a child bride back then, is she?" The other aunt suddenly realized, and looked at Fang Xiaofu specially as she spoke, "You look pretty good."

"..." Fang Xiaofu really couldn't bring himself to socialize with relatives who felt strange, so he pretended to be obedient and silent.

"Little Qi'er, go out and do some work outside. After a while, you'll finish your work in the main room, so come and tell me." Fang Yang noticed the little girl's displeasure, and said immediately.

"Yes, auntie." Fang Xiaofu quickly replied, saluted the two aunts and uncles, and left immediately.I also heard the two old ladies muttering that she looked very well-behaved, but her mouth was not sweet, and she didn't know how to shout.

Fang Xiaofu almost stroked his forehead, did these two old ladies have bad ears or something?When she entered the room, she yelled, "Eldest aunt, second aunt, please have some tea"!I don't know how to call someone!
Fang Xiaofu finally saw Fang Zizhan and the others. The brothers and the younger generations in the village were all setting up a banquet. Eight tables and chairs were placed side by side in the main courtyard, and two tables and chairs could be placed side by side in the small side courtyard. table.

After the round table is used in the main room, only four tables can be placed loosely.The rest had to be placed on the road outside the yard.Twelve tables can also be set up in the main room and yard of the second master.

In addition, on the road connecting Erye’s house, [-] tables can be placed by reasonable use of space, and four more tables can be placed on the other side to the east. Therefore, the first row of running water seats can hold a total of [-] tables.

But the second row of running water seats can’t accommodate so many. Some people eat fast, while others drink slowly. It depends on which table is vacant, and a new table is set up.

Moreover, if there is no room to entertain guests, the main rooms on both sides will have seats in the first row, and there will be no more seats in the back after eating, and they have to be seated for close relatives and senior guests.

Today, the people in my aunt's room also came from behind.

Today is the second wife of the Shi family who is marrying a daughter, but it is also the wife of the grandnephew of the aunt's family, so their eldest family has come to visit.But it's all on the second master's side.

Fang Xiaofu pulled Fang Zizhan out of the yard and walked a little further, then pouted and said, "Two groups of guests came today, they are all quite strange."

"Two batches? Isn't it just that there are two elders in the family? I heard that the family tree is going to be overhauled. Everyone on the tree is required to pay one tael of silver as the cost of repairing the tree. If there is any more, the ancestral hall will be repaired."

"In addition, the clan knew from where that our family has become rich and asked us to donate 1 taels to support the clan." Fang Zizhan explained.

"Also, there are so many juren in Fangshan Village. We want us to donate rice to help the poor family members in the clan. It is said that we have accumulated merits and virtues. When we become officials in the future, the clan will send letters to the clan members who are officials outside. They take care of one or two."

This is the reason of the clan's visit, not knowing that Fang Zijian is getting married today, so he made a special trip to drink the wedding wine.

"Except for 1 taels of silver, we can't give it casually, and the other conditions are not difficult. Why did it take so long to discuss in the main room?" Fang Xiaofu tilted his head and looked at Fang Zizhan, a little puzzled.

"Xiao Qi'er, one tael of silver per person is not much, but that is our family now. If you give it too readily, the family will think that we have dug up mountains of gold and silver." Fang Zizhan reminded.

"Also, we are a side branch of the fifth server. We don't have much contact with the clan on weekdays, and we don't know a few people. It's because the clan has been unwilling to let us set up another branch."
