Chapter 216 Uninvited Guest (2)
However, they were also assigned tasks. The two brothers Dalang Erlang were boys and they were older, so they were assigned the important task of helping grandpa and uncle and receiving visitors.

As for the two sisters, Lin Xiaoqiao, they are responsible for entertaining the guests today, and I leave it to them to serve the tea and water. Mrs. Li ordered that they must be courteous and considerate, and not be playful and delay things.

As for the youngest cousin Yu Lian'er, she was also assigned a task by her mother, which was to obediently follow behind the two older sisters and not to make trouble.

Everyone performed their duties, and they all received their own responsibilities. The sun rose high, and the sun shone into the small courtyard of the Li family. Everyone was busy with their work.

When it arrived at Si time, visitors had come to the door one after another. Old man Li hurriedly took Li Erhu to the door to meet them.

Only then did Mrs. Li suddenly remember that when assigning tasks just now, she forgot an important matter and did not arrange for someone to record the gifts.

This matter can be regarded as a major event, and the farmers' families have to be measured in giving gifts to each other, half of which have to be compared with the severity of other people's gifts.

Therefore, if you don't write down the gifts and things that each guest sent today, you won't know how much gifts you should give when someone else's family has something to do in the future.

So, in desperation, Mrs. Li transferred Erlang from his original post, assigned him a new task, and placed a small table for him in the courtyard, and he was responsible for sitting there and writing down all the information. Gift money and things from visitors.

The guests who came were all peasant families, and they didn't pay much attention to the gifts they gave to each other. Most of them just gave some eggs, rulers and so on, and depending on the situation, they gave them with tens of pennies of money.

Erlang earnestly wrote down the gifts from each visitor, and the aunts and aunts couldn't help but praise him when they saw that he could read and write at a young age.

What's more, seeing the handsome appearance of the two brothers, Dalang and Erlang, they even started discussing in private, and came up with the idea of ​​the two of them, and there are many people who want to be matchmakers.

However, these women also know how to measure, they just mutter a few words in private, and they don't do any exaggerated behavior.

These gossips were accidentally overheard by the two sisters, Lin Xiaoqiao, when they were serving tea and changing water among the guests. Afterwards, the two told them to Mrs. Li and the others, which annoyed Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun. Covering his mouth and laughing for a while, his son can be remembered by others, it can only show that they are indeed very good.

The guests came one after another, and it was almost time for the guests to come. The sun was shining outside, and Mrs. Sun saw that it was getting late, so she began to greet everyone to take their seats, waiting for the banquet to start.

At this moment, a few uninvited guests came, Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Lin brought Lin Jiao. When Mrs. Li heard the news, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

Lin Xiaoqiao also ran out in a hurry, today a little uncle got married, these people came to join in the fun, it's too surprising, it's said that they have been peaceful for a while, today they are very important Just don't come here to make trouble.

Lin Xiaoqiao felt that since he had already come, with so many people watching today, he must not be able to drive him out, and he should treat him politely before he figured out the purpose of his visit, so when she saw Mr. Lin He and Mrs. Zhou warmly greeted her: "Grandpa, grandma, you are here, please sit inside."

Mr. Lin looked a little embarrassed. They also learned from the folks a few days ago that the Li family is going to have a happy event today. It stands to reason that the two families are in-laws, so they should send a letter to them for such a happy event. , but the second child's family didn't disclose any news to them.

A few of them came here uninvited today. Mr. Lin also knew that such behavior would be embarrassing, but in the past six months, as long as the eldest family had some money, they used it to treat Mrs. Liu. They also refused to give them any more money, and the family of the third child was poor, so they had no money in their hands, and the standard of living in the old house fell again and again, almost to the point of eating chaff. The dishes are out of order.

When the family was not separated before, the best food in the family was for the old couple to enjoy. In addition, the old couple held the family's money in their hands, and they could buy some good supplements privately from time to time. , but in the past six months, they haven't seen any meat on their dinner table.

So, when the old woman heard that the Li family had a wedding, she thought about it for a while, and then dragged him over to fill up the oil in her stomach.

After Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Lin were greeted by Lin Xiaoqiao to a corner seat against the wall and sat down, she asked her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi to serve tea first, and then she ran to the kitchen to find Mrs. Li.

The two brothers Dalang and Erlang were also in the kitchen at this time, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Li and my aunt, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter of Mrs. Zhou coming uninvited, Lin Xiaoqiao was drawn into the discussion as soon as he came circles.

"Cut—do you know what gifts our grandparents gave when they came? You don't have to worry about losing your life when you say it. Three mouthfuls came to eat, and I brought five eggs, and there seemed to be some broken ones, and they all stink. It comes from the smell." Erlang said with a disdainful expression, with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Really? Why don't we boil all five eggs and give them to eat? It happens that the old couple will have two, and the young one will also get one." Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt was a bit wicked. joked.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun pretended to pinch her, and scolded with a smile: "You are so old, you are also talking nonsense."

At this time, Mrs. Li looked worried and puzzled: "My two father-in-law and mother-in-law are really not good at it. If there is a quarrel today, what should I do then?"

"Hey - let's not worry about it so much, I think they are probably here to eat and drink, and they probably don't have the guts to make trouble here. I will keep watching them quietly. If there is really trouble, we will Let's play by ear when the time comes." After the big guys had a discussion, Lin Xiaoqiao said.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao turned around and wanted to leave, he had to take good care of them today, no matter what happened today, he couldn't mess things up.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back after thinking about it, so she grabbed her little girl and told her: "If you can bear it, you should bear it first, your father is still here, you must hold back , don’t make your father’s face look ugly, it’s not good to put your father in a dilemma in front of so many people.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, now people are here, let's do all the etiquette, after all, they are your father's relatives."
