Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 114

Mrs. Qi was dissatisfied after hearing this, and said: "After all, don't you just want us to pay money? I don't know about these people? Where is the ancestral hall built? It's jealousy that we live a better life and want One point, the ancestral hall has not been managed for 800 years, but now it is raised!"

Mr. Du said: "Don't say a few words. Now that you are loyal, you can raise people and have fame. It is imperative to build an ancestral hall. Otherwise, when people ask, they will say that the ancestral hall of even a member of our Du family is too big. No, what's the matter?"

The ancestral halls of ordinary rural people are not the kind of aristocratic families, neither do they need to sacrifice fields, nor do they need special people to guard them, but they need to choose a patriarch.

It is also a manifestation of family cohesion in this era.Some people who return to their hometowns like to build ancestral halls to commend their merits.

In the Du family, there is really no so-called patriarch. When everyone encounters a problem, they just find senior and famous elders to solve the problem. Promising, if he wants to be the patriarch, no one will object.

It is also a normal phenomenon for a capable person to be the patriarch.

But for Du Youzhong, he didn't want to be the patriarch either. After all, he only spends a few days in Yangliu Village all year round, so he has nothing to do with it.

"Father, what I mean is that if the ancestral hall needs to be repaired, we will also pay part of the money, and others will share some of it. What do you think?" Du Youzhong said.

The big head must be them.However, this ancestral hall cannot be overhauled. After all, Du Youzhong is just a juren, so he can't make a high profile, that would be too outrageous.

The final result of the discussion was that Du Youzhong paid the first 50 taels of silver, and the remaining 50 taels were shared equally by each family.

Using 100 taels to build an ancestral hall is neither too little nor too much, but the Qi family feels that they paid 50 taels all of a sudden, which is really blood-sucking.

Do you still want to think about something in the future, and come to ask them for money?Isn't it too bad for them?

But Mr. Du said: "You don't understand your own son? Can someone blackmail you? He will give what should be given, and he will not give what should not be given, and others dare not say anything." No one dares to be presumptuous when the old woman stands in the way. Mr. Du dare not say this, otherwise the old woman will explode again.

Du Youzhong donated the money to build the ancestral hall, but he also suggested that when the 100 taels of silver are used, an account should be kept, otherwise it will be bad if the big guy speaks out.

In addition, discuss with several elders to supervise the construction of the ancestral hall, this is also to prevent some people from taking advantage of this opportunity to make money for themselves.

Although it is 100 taels, it is quite a lot in the village.For the villagers, one tael of silver is a lot.

Of course, there must be some people in the middle who will make some money, as long as it does not exceed the range accepted by everyone, it is still possible.

The reason why Du Youzhong did this is to tell everyone that he is not being taken advantage of by taking out the money, and it is not that there is nowhere to spend the money, so everyone should not treat him as a money basket and ask for money casually.

It is too easy to take money, so it is easy to make people miss it.

It makes people feel that the money is not easy to get, and next time they will not easily find someone with good eyesight to ask for it. He is also guarding against villains and not gentlemen.

The construction of the ancestral hall has already been agreed upon, and the construction will start when the ground freezes during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Du Youzhong will be in Qingyang County.

He won't take care of everything, but no one will forget him, because he is the first Juren from the Du family, and his status is very important. Without him, the Du family's ancestral hall would not have such great significance .

Therefore, after some small-minded people understand this truth, such small-minded people will disappear.

"I don't want a servant girl to serve me. We farmers have hands and feet. Why do we need this servant girl? Not only do we have to spend money to buy it, but we also need to pay them a monthly fee. I don't care about food and drink. I'm not old enough to do it myself. , you are outside, at any rate Youzhong is a school official, if you want to buy a maid, just buy it, I don't need it!"

She herself has three other daughters-in-law, and she still gives them a hundred cash pocket money every month, what's the matter?Also buy another person to serve them?This daughter-in-law is too comfortable!

"Don't even tell me about buying people. You have been a daughter-in-law for so many years, and you work and cook every day. What's wrong? They can't do it? If anyone doesn't want to work, just tell me, I Come 'serve and serve' them!"

"Mother, look at what you said, it's not about the younger siblings. We want to buy a maid to serve you. You can do whatever you want her to do. It's no problem if you want the younger siblings to cook. " Hu explained.

"Forget it, I don't want it, the five fingers are not even, and they don't want to say that I am partial, we have this good life, and Youzhong earned it himself. You are Youzhong's daughter-in-law, and you are with him." After more than ten years of suffering, if anyone is not convinced, then he should show his ability." In the past, Youzhong was also supporting the family, and his own wife and children lived better. If anyone is jealous, it is too bad something!
The reason why the Qi family let the daughters-in-law take turns to cook every day is also to let them not feel that life at home is getting better and they will become lazy.Since I live in the country, I can't afford food and clothes to stretch out my hands.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Du's family was very sumptuous, not to mention fresh fish, which is absolutely indispensable, then chicken and duck, smoked rabbit meat, even beef, and all kinds of mountain mushrooms are indispensable.

When watching the New Year's Eve at night, the Hu family's sisters-in-law were talking about all kinds of gossip and new things.Everyone put on new clothes. In the past few years, how could one have imagined such a good day?

In the first year of junior high school, Du Yu and his brothers went to the village to pay New Year's greetings, and were warmly welcomed by all the families. Although the food from other people's homes was not as good and delicious as our own, Du Yu would not say that this food was not good, and I didn't want it. I mean, I ate a little bit.

It's their family's things. There are too many children coming, and they change one crop after another. At this time, the Qi family will not pick it up anymore, because there is a saying that on the first day of the new year, which house will the children come to the most? The popularity and good fortune will be the most prosperous, and the Qi family also wants to be like this.

Although these children are because the food of Du's family is better than that of other families, doesn't this also indirectly show that the life of Du's family is going well?
Because Zhang's nephew did such a thing, the relationship between them and Zhang's side became even worse. This time, Du Youzhong and the others just made a suit of clothes for Uncle Du alone. Old man Du's own brother only treats him well, and there is nothing to talk about. Others, they are of the same generation and juniors, and they don't have the responsibility to make things better for them.

In the past, I sent things there every year and festival, but it didn’t work out. In the end, there was the Zhang family’s sham and tiger power, which almost ruined the Du family’s reputation. No one is a soft persimmon. Send things.

Mrs. Zhang was complained by her son and daughter-in-law because of her nephew. Of course, Uncle Du definitely taught her a lesson.

It's a pity that things happened when they happened, and it can't be treated as if they didn't happen.

Does Mrs. Zhang regret it?Naturally, she regretted that she could get so many things in the past, but now she only gave things to her old man, and she lost money to death, but there was no way.

In the second year of junior high school, the eldest aunt Dulan had already married her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was going back to her natal home, so the tradition of returning to her natal home in the second year of junior high school was over.After the son and daughter-in-law come back, come here together again.

In the second day of junior high school, my second aunt, Du Mei, came over, but when Du Mei came, Li Tieniu did not come. I asked about the situation. It turned out that Li Tieniu drank too much at my house yesterday, and the next day he had a headache and couldn't get up. Du As soon as Mei got angry, she brought Li Shuisheng and Li Hua'er directly.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Qi blamed her, "You come here in such a huff, what's the matter, you're not happy, you want to make us unhappy too?" , who will like it?
Du Mei also felt aggrieved. She had been married to Li Tieniu all these years. Li Tieniu is honest, but he only knows how to farm, and his life is very tight. Now he can only rely on his natal family.

Li Tieniu would talk about herself after taking things from her natal family, but if it wasn't for his incompetence, would she be able to do this?
As a result, he was drunk yesterday, and even uttered the truth after drinking, saying that she has always looked down on him, that he has always looked down on him, and that she has looked down on his parents and brothers, which made Du Mei so angry , so today I didn't wait for Li Tieniu to wake up, and ran back with the children.

I was upset at first, but my mother said to me that Du Mei's eye circles were about to turn red, and she didn't want to quarrel with her mother because it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

After a while, Li Tieniu rushed over to wish his father-in-law and mother-in-law New Year's greetings. Du Mei looked at Li Tieniu but ignored him, so Li Tieniu had to stand and rub his hands.

Mrs. Qi said to the two of them: "Okay, how many years have you two been together? In a few years, you will be father-in-law and mother-in-law. If you are still arguing like this, it's no wonder that Shuisheng and the others don't laugh at you. Life is lived by people." Yes, you can't complain to each other. Tie Niu, Du Mei has a straight temper, so don't be as fussy as her."

"Mom, it's my fault this time. I got drunk and said some nonsense. It's all my fault. I promise, I will never do it again." I also blame him for not being able to do it, drinking and talking nonsense talk.

"Okay, you see that Tieniu has recognized you, you can't hold on to it, and Tieniu will drink less in the future, let's live a good life, this is better than anything else, if you are still like this, then don't blame me You're welcome!" Mrs. Qi is not a person who can only say good things, she has a very strong temper, and it is not easy to say things about mediation for a long time.

"Did brother and sister-in-law go to their mother's house again?" Du Mei didn't want to entangle with her husband, so she asked her brother and sister-in-law.I thought I would meet today.

"Today, on the second day of junior high school, if you can go back to your mother's house, your sister-in-law can't?" Mrs. Qi was upset. What she said was ugly!
"Mother, I just said that. I haven't seen them for a long time. It's weird. Then I won't leave today. They will come back tomorrow." Du Mei said.

The Qi family has no objection either, the daughter and son-in-law will keep it, and there is no shortage of places for them to live here.

In the evening, Li Tieniu said cautiously: "Shui Shengniang, I think it's better to forget it. I'm like this, and I'm not as capable as before, and I'm still a drag. I'm fine at home."
