Chapter 1

Now that the autumn harvest is over, the golden rice has long been taken back to the granary. This year, the weather is good, and there are no pests, so it is a good harvest year.

Although most of them have paid land tax, compared with previous years, there are still more.This is enough joy for the country people.

Yangliu Village is named after a centuries-old willow tree at the entrance of the village. It is difficult for an adult to hug this willow tree.

Walking about 500 meters west from the entrance of the village, there is a farmhouse. When you open the wooden gate of this family, you can see a courtyard house with four rooms facing the gate.

There are four wing rooms on the left and right, and four wing rooms on the east and west.

There are also kitchens, cattle houses, huts, etc., next to the gate.

There are two locust trees planted in the yard, which seem to be 20 years old.

This is the old Du's house in Yangliu Village. Strictly speaking, it should be the second room of the Du family. Mr. Du has two brothers, and they separated 20 years ago. Mr. Du lives in a yard not far from Mr. Du's side.

Now Mr. Du's yard is buzzing with voices, all of whom are from the village.

It turns out that after the autumn harvest is busy, it is a good time to get married. At this time, there is no farm work in hand, and it is the time of slack, so don't waste time.And at this time, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, which is also suitable for weddings.

Also, marrying a daughter-in-law into the door is also the time of the Chinese New Year, can there be more people in the family?

For people at this time, there is no such thing as family planning. It means that as long as you can give birth, you can just give birth until you can't give birth.

So, don't look at the large yard and house of Mr. Du, but he has two daughters and five sons.

This is not counting those who died in the middle and did not grow up.Otherwise it's more.

The two daughters are already married, and among the five sons, Du Youzhong, the eldest, and Du Youliang, the second, are also married and have children.

Now this happy event is that the youngest Du Youxian is going to marry a wife.

People in a village, as long as someone has a happy event, as long as they are not enemies, they will come to help, borrow benches, tables, bowls, chopsticks and plates, as well as those who cook, wash and chop vegetables. The more people, the more lively .

Mr. Du had read books when he was young, and Mr. Du's parents also hoped that Mr. Du would become famous in one fell swoop and become an official master, but Mr. Du hadn't even passed the exam for a child until he was 20 years old. Naturally, his brother and sister-in-law did not I am willing to make offerings to Mr. Du again.

And Mr. Du lost that temper, and finally got married, marrying a girl named Qi from the neighboring village.

This Qi family is average in height, but he does farm work well. Mr. Du's parents also saw that their youngest son was studying since he was a child. He was good at farm work, so he found a daughter-in-law who was quick to do things.

The sound of chopping vegetables on the chopping board, because many guests will have a banquet tomorrow, the eldest daughter-in-law Hu and the second daughter-in-law Liu of the Du family are busy all the time, and the work of chopping vegetables will be assigned to the two sisters-in-law.

Hu's work is quick, but his temper is also stubborn, but it took a long time to cut these vegetables, and his arms are a little swollen.

After violently shaking it twice, he continued to cut.

Hu and his eldest brother Du Youzhong have three children, two sons and a daughter.The eldest son, Du Dalang, is ten years old and his name is Du Tong. The second son, Du Erlang, is seven years old, and his name is Du Yang. His daughter, Du Yu, is five years old.

On the second room side, there are also three children, two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter Du Liu is eight years old this year, the second daughter Du Tao is three years old this year, and the son Du Sanlang is six years old and his name is Juniper.

The names of the younger generation all carry a wooden character.The names of these grandchildren were all married to Mr. Du. Because they had studied, they were not like other people's names, such as big girls and dog eggs.

Although Mr. Du did not pass the examinations of Tongsheng and Xiucai, people at this time still value scholars very much. Every year at the end of the year, many people come to ask for couplets. I'm looking for Mr. Du.

So Mr. Du still has a high reputation in Yangliu Village.Although he is not engaged in production, the farm work is not doing well.

Du Yu is currently peeling garlic cloves with three-year-old Du Tao. Because of the large amount of garlic, he has to peel a lot.

She looked at Du Tao who had a runny nose, "Tao'er, go play with Erni and the others."

Du Tao is more than three years old, but no matter whether it is winter or summer, the snot has never stopped.

If this is modern, my parents must have taken it to see it. Du Yu had a relative before, who said that he had a snot all the time when he was a child, and he didn't get better until he grew up.

It's just that at this time, I feel that this is just a small problem, so why spend money to see a doctor?
Just get used to it, but Du Yu is not used to looking at it, especially this thing that is still being peeled and eaten.So, she would rather do it by herself.

"Second Sister, what if Grandma sees it?" Du Tao must want to go out and play with others, but she is afraid of Qi Shi, Qi Shi will become more powerful, it will be terrible, especially if you have been asked to work, don't you It is absolutely impossible to run to play while doing it.

The Qi family also has a problem, that is, patriarchy, being nice to grandsons, but treating granddaughters, that is normal, the same mistake, on the side of grandson, you can let it go lightly, but if it is granddaughter, she will do it.

"It's okay, that's all. I think our grandma has gone out." The point is, these few days are the days of great joy, and the Qi family will not be so confused and come to beat someone at this time.

After hearing this, Du Tao got up immediately and ran away happily.It's almost like Sun Wukong got rid of the magic spell.

Du Yu found a basin for the peeled garlic, washed it several times, and then brought it to his mother, Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu picked it up, saw that it was wet, and said to Du Yu, "What's so good about washing the garlic cloves? If Fei Shui doesn't say anything, your grandma will know about it. What should you do? Why are you so poor and particular?" Hu can't wait to put her finger on her daughter's head, this girl is so annoying.

Seeing her brother and sister Liu go to the kitchen to deliver food, she said, "You are stupid, why are you working alone? Where is Taoer?" She didn't allow her daughter to suffer, since two of them could do the job , she saw it just now, and it turned out that her daughter was doing it alone, and she couldn't suffer from anything.

Du Yu hurriedly said: "Mother, Tao'er has been peeled for a long time. I don't think there are many left. I can make it myself. The garlic cloves were all placed on the ground just now. It's better to wash them. After all, our things are also And give it to others to eat."

She didn't want to say that Tao'er's snot was going to be stained with this thing just now.

"It's okay, it's nothing to do with you, you go out and live." Although Hu's mouth is not forgiving, he still loves his daughter.

By the way, he stuffed cut lotus root strips in Du Yu's mouth, which tasted very crispy.

After a busy day, after all the helpers left at night, Mr. Du and Mrs. Qi held another family meeting. The main purpose was to ensure that Du Youxian could get married tomorrow. The main means of transportation was naturally the one in the Du family's barn. head donkey.

But the second child, Du Youliang, has something to say, "Father, mother, who will let the boys and girls who press the bed tomorrow go? When I got married, it was Dalang from the elder brother's family and Juanzi from the elder sister's family. Alright."

To be a boy and girl who presses the bed, there is a red envelope. Du Youliang is shrewd and thinks he should fight for his family, but Liu's head is lowered, not daring to speak.

Mr. Du snorted, and Mrs. Qi immediately scolded Du Youliang, "Why, you are still the master of your parents? Is this family also yours? Well, come here, your mother and I will take care of the family right now." Give it all to you, what do you think?"

"Mother, I didn't mean that. Isn't it fair?" Du Youliang said flatteringly.

"Fair? Why is it called fair? Why didn't you say that your elder brother gave you the money for marrying your daughter-in-law? At that time, why didn't you say that for the sake of fairness, you also gave the money when your third brother got married?" What? Tell me this now, do you believe I will slap you?"

When it comes to this, Du Youliang is stupefied. Their brothers have all read characters with the old man, and none of them are blind, but his eldest brother is currently working as a accountant for others, and he has an income of two taels of silver a month. When he got married, his elder brother had just started to enter the shop, but he also took out all his own money, otherwise he would have no money to marry a wife.

"Okay, let Erlang and Hua'er press the bed tomorrow." Old Man Du said.

Li Hua'er is the daughter of the second daughter of the Qi family. Du Yu's second aunt married Li Tieniu of Li's family village and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
