After everyone discussed it for a while, they still shamelessly knocked on the door of the village chief's house. Li stood at the front and asked her to apologize for what she had just said.
Ms. Li was very reluctant. She didn't have a child studying in her family, and she didn't have to worry about affecting her child's future. They simply didn't want to spend money on building roads, but it was really impossible if the roads were not repaired. A trip to town would be too difficult.
It’s frustrating.
Not every household is willing to spend money to build an ox cart, and not every household can afford an ox cart. Most of the time, they still walk. If the road is not repaired, it will really delay things.
So, Mrs. Li could only hold her breath, apologize to the village chief amidst the accusations from everyone, and promise that she would never do this again.
The village chief also felt that a pot of soup could not be spoiled by a rat droppings, so he agreed to raise money and take everyone to build roads after the New Year, and then everyone went back to their homes.
Zhao Huanyu's family didn't know about Li's trip to the village chief's house. They had already started to use their chopsticks. There were so many people eating today that they couldn't even sit in the kitchen, so they had to move the tables and stools into the main room to eat.
The table is still a bit small for so many people, but it does not affect their enjoyment of eating and chatting.
Zhao Dafu and Zhao Dagui took Yuan Baoshan to drink and talked about the changes in their family during this period. They also said that after the New Year, they could take Yuan Baoshan's family to work together. As long as they are honest and diligent, life will definitely get better and better.
.
Yuan Baoshan was speechless. From the moment he entered this courtyard, he knew that the Zhao family was really developed. There were twenty or thirty dishes on the table, more than a dozen of which were meat dishes, all delicious and delicious.
Even if the remaining dishes are vegetarian, they taste no worse than meat dishes.
Even if it is a very simple dish of boiled cabbage, the soup is made from large bones, with a faint sheen of oil floating on top, and the aroma of meat permeates the cabbage, making your mouth full of oil when you take a bite.
The Zhao family’s meal was better than what he had eaten during the Chinese New Year in recent years!
At first, he was a little afraid to use chopsticks, but his second brother-in-law took good care of him and kept adding vegetables to his bowl. In addition, after drinking a lot of wine, he gradually became more courageous, and he also imitated Zhao Dafu's behavior at the dinner table.
He laughed loudly.
He held up the small glass drunkenly, looked at his sister Yuanshi and said: "Second sister, I feel relieved to see that your life is so easy now! You and your brother-in-law had a good eye before, and the family was worried that the brother-in-law's family had a small population.
The foundation is unstable and you are implicated. Now it seems that we have overthought it. Your brother-in-law is good to you, and your in-laws are also good to you. This is your blessing, and your parents will be very happy if they know it!"
With that said, he looked at Zhao Dagui and said: "Brother-in-law, I want to apologize to you. On the day you married my second sister, I hid your shoes..."
When Zhao Dagui married the Yuan family, he was still young and only thought about what his parents said. He felt that his second sister was going to marry into a family with not very good conditions. He was worried that his second sister would be wronged, so he married the Yuan family before Zhao Dagui.
He made a mischief on the way, causing Zhao Dagui to fall down, and even stole his shoes, so that Zhao Dagui went barefoot to pick up his second sister at home.
This happened more than ten years ago, and everyone had forgotten about it, but when Yuan Baoshan suddenly mentioned it, everyone burst into laughter.
At that time, Yuan Baoshan was still a child, at most as old as Tieshan. Naturally, he did not want his second sister to marry into another family and suffer injustice. Although it seems a little childish now, it is true that he has a sincere heart for his sister.
"Actually, I know."
Zhao Dagui smiled and said: "Before I got married to your sister, I saw you twice, and you stared at me with your eyes open every time. I knew that your kid didn't like me as my brother-in-law, but you could marry me at that time.
Your sister, it’s true that I’ve climbed a high tree, so after marriage I will make up for my debt to your sister, but life has been difficult these past years, and she has really suffered by following me.”
Maybe because he drank too much, Zhao Dagui acted like a man tonight and kept grabbing Yuanshi's hand while talking, as if he was deliberately angry at Yuan Baoshan.
Yuanshi blushed at his action, slapped his hand and said, "What are you talking about? They are an old couple, why don't they look serious!"
Zhao Huanyu sat not far away and was secretly happy. She knew that the relationship between her uncle and aunt had always been very good, otherwise her aunt would not have asked her if she could still have children. She still wanted to have three sons after giving birth to three sons. It was not true love.
What?
Zhao Dafu looked at his brother and sister-in-law and was happy for them, but when he thought about his marriage, he sighed again. If he hadn't been deceived by Mrs. Liu, he wouldn't have forced Xiaoyu, a girl, to show up outside every day.
to earn money to support the family.
After finally making some money, she still had to be remembered. She always hoped that her family would be as poor as before, and the pink eye could not be cured no matter what.
That's what people who drink are like this. They talk without meaning. They change the topic with one sentence, and now they start talking about how to make money.
They didn't quite understand how to make money, so they all turned their attention to Zhao Huanyu. Seeing that she only cared about eating her own food, they were instantly dissatisfied.
"Xiaoyu, tell me how you got such a smart head. Aren't you studying medicine now? Do you think you can make my uncle's head smarter so that he can tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law loudly in front of them?
It won’t be a loss if their daughter marries me!”
With that said, he reached for Yuanshi's hand again. This time Yuanshi learned the lesson and hid far away, not wanting to sit with him at all.
Everyone laughed, and Duan Kuo said: "Uncle Dagui, this brain can't be replaced just by changing it!"
Zhao Huanyu also said: "Uncle, changing your head is not something that ordinary people can do. At least I can't. I don't have the ability! This person only has one head. If he changes his head to another, will you still be the same person?"
These words successfully distracted Zhao Dagui, and everyone's conversation began to revolve around the matter of changing heads.
Zhao Huanyu and Ji Mingxuan looked at each other and smiled. How great would it be if they could live happily like this forever?
But they all know that things will not be that simple. Under the current calm, there may be countless waves and undercurrents hidden.
I was enjoying myself freely when suddenly there was a commotion outside, as if someone was quarreling or fighting.
Several children had almost eaten, and quickly ran out to watch the fun. Zhao Huanyu also had almost eaten, got up and went out together.
It turned out to be the Wan Erniu family, the third family next door, and it was the mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, who was beating and scolding her eldest daughter-in-law.
The scolding was harsh and the beating was even harder. The eldest daughter-in-law was beaten until she cried. Especially after knowing that there were people watching around her, she lay down on the ground and acted rogue without any scruples.
