Is the eldest uncle reminding him that he didn't ask his cousin to come forward?
Thinking of this, Baiyunxi directly waved his hand.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The child's father has passed away. I am the elder and the head of the family. This yard will be our family's residence from now on. It is most reasonable for me to come forward."
As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, the old patriarch was stunned, then nodded again,
"You are right if you really think so. You are the backbone of the children. With you in charge, there will be no difference."
The old patriarch said and stood up directly, "You are busy at home, so I won't bother you much and will go back first."
"Uncle, please go slowly. When you turn back and wait for the pot to be warmed, please invite uncle over again."
Baiyunxi didn't keep him either, mainly because he was really busy, the house was in a mess, and the old man was quite old, so it would be bad if he bumped into him again.
Send the person to the door and watch him walking away slowly and hobblingly on crutches. Baiyunxi paused for a while, then turned back. When he turned around, he saw Du Shi staring at him with a little worry.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Du looked outside the door and helped her mother-in-law sit on the chair.
"Mom, why do I feel that grandpa is angry?"
Aunt Song and Aunt Hua, who are close friends, came to congratulate them. Even Third Grandpa came over with a cane to take a look and asked if they had any needs. Only Grandpa and his family did not come forward.
"Okay, don't think about it, put away the pastries on the altar table, wait until the masters have a break, share a portion with everyone, and let everyone taste it, so that everyone can feel happy together."
Now that I meet a mother-in-law who doesn't pay much attention to rules, it's normal to feel uncomfortable.
Listening to Du's tone, Bai Yunxi looked at her in surprise. As expected of the most sensitive person, she found that the old man was unhappy.
She didn't invite her cousin to preside over the ceremony, which made her uncle feel unhappy, but so what?
She knew this. Whether it was the eldest grandpa or the eldest uncle, he had been in the family for a long time. Whenever someone's family had something to do, they would go and ask him to come forward. She was used to it.
Bai Yunsong's series of actions made her feel that she had long lost her qualifications as a clan leader.
"Hey~,"
Listening to her mother-in-law's comfort, Mrs. Du was a little bit dumbfounded. Life can be both bitter and sweet. How can anyone evaluate it in terms of profit and loss?
Only my mother-in-law would suddenly come up with such a theory.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
She built a house to benefit her own family, and it was not her style to trouble others. But if the uncle thought that his cousin, as the patriarch, must preside over the ceremony of her family's beam-raising ceremony, then he would have overestimated his son.
"You can live your life as comfortably as you want. Don't force yourself to do anything that makes you unhappy. Life passes by for decades. If you live in frustration every day, then you will have lost everything in your life."
After listening to her mother-in-law's reminder, Mrs. Du thought about it and found it reasonable. From the time their family started construction until now, everyone in the village knew about it, and people came to watch the excitement every day.
"Don't worry about these chores, as long as our family is fine."
Bai Yunxi saw Du Shi distracted and reached out to pat her hand.
Mrs. Du looked at the cakes on the offering table and started to clear them away with a bucket.
Mrs. Li came back from the backyard, washed her hands, leaned over with a smile, pinched a piece of sugar cake and stuffed it into her mouth, then pinched another piece and stuffed it into Mrs. Du's mouth. Mrs. Du looked helpless.
Before she could speak, Li squeezed another piece and ran to Baiyunxi.
"Mom, try it too, this is sweet, soft and delicious."
Bai Yunxi looked at Li's bulging cheeks, smiled and waved her hands, "Eat it yourself, this is too sweet, my tooth hurts after eating it."
