After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Soon it was the ninth day of June, the day when Yan Qingqing’s new house was officially built.

Because we had to serve wine, many women from the same village came to help early in the morning.

The chef was specially borrowed by Li Xiang'an from Yuelaiju. When Yuelaiju's shopkeeper Xue heard that their family was going to open Shangliang Wine, he sent over the chef who was the best at cooking without hesitation.

All the procedures were carried out according to Mr. Li's instructions. Mr. Li also felt Yan Qingqing's respect for him and had a smile on his face throughout the process.

When it came time to burn incense and offer sacrifices, Yan Qingqing asked Li Xiangping to do it.

Not to mention that Yan Qingqing is still pregnant and a widow, unless there are no men in the family, there has been no such thing as a woman officiating since ancient times.

Yan Qingqing didn't want to be blamed for such a trivial matter.

But Li Xiangping didn't care. He felt that all the family property was earned by Yan Qingqing, and no one could say anything when his mother came to offer sacrifices.

Yan Qingqing knew what Li Xiangping was thinking and said with a smile: "You are the eldest son in the family, and you will still have heavy responsibilities on your shoulders in the future. It is natural for you to do this. Mom doesn't care about these false gifts. Everything I do now is also For you brothers and sisters.

Without your mother, no matter how hard you try, there will be no point. "

At this moment, Yan Qingqing performed the image of a loving mother vividly, and many people present were in awe.

Of course, Yan Qingqing's words were sincere.

After hearing this, Li Xiangping felt even more that if he was not filial to Yan Qingqing in the future, he would be struck by thunder from heaven.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing understood justice so well, the village chief also said: "Xiang Ping, your mother is right, you are the eldest son in the family, you should do this.

It's almost noon, so don't miss the auspicious time. "

Li Xiangping nodded when he heard this. He didn't want to let down his mother's wishes.

After the sacrifice was over, the person in charge set off firecrackers, and the three entered the yard and began to load the beams at the same time. The beams weighed hundreds of kilograms and were all made of fine wood carefully selected from the mountains.

There are no cranes these days, and all the beams are raised manually. From a distance, every house is full of people. Everyone shouts slogans and moves in one place. The scene is very spectacular.

Later, when the villagers built new houses, they would think of Yan Qingqing's family's feat of building a house, which has always been talked about by the villagers.

After finishing the beam, it was time to have lunch.

The kitchen at Yan Qingqing's home was too small to accommodate so many stoves, so she set up several large pots in the yard in advance.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqing's family usually has two extra pots for making brine, plus the ones they usually use for cooking at home, three large pots are barely enough.

The master chef of Yuelaiju, plus a few helpers from the village, soon filled the yard with a burst of fragrance.

The surrounding villagers sniffed hard, and one of the older people said: "This is too fragrant. This banquet must be very grand."

Another person replied: "That's natural. I heard that they specially hired the chef of Yuelaiju. Do you know what Yuelaiju is? It's a big restaurant in the county. I heard that the county magistrate often goes there." To eat.”

The onlookers seemed to be in a state of panic, and they began to discuss it in all directions.

Some people say that a meal at Yuelaiju costs at least several taels of silver.

Some people say that Yan Qingqing's family must be very rich if they can do business with Yuelaiju. No wonder they can build such a good house.

Some people also said that if Yan Qingqing’s family makes such good noodles, it would be equivalent to having a meal at Yuelaiju.

Thinking about this, some people started to think about it. They didn't know if it was too late to prepare gifts.

But in the end, the big guys were not so shameless.

Yan Qingqing's family has a very rich wine display, including fried red pork, cold pork heart, pig ears, eight-treasure rice, mandarin duck chicken, Sixi meatballs, fungus and eggs, cold vegetables, two soups, and enough white flour steamed buns.

Li Daniu and Zhao Yumei came over to the workers before they finished work, smelling the fragrance.

Logically speaking, Li Daniu and Zhao Yumei should come to eat the Yan Qingqing family's wine.

But Yan Qingqing didn't like Li Daniu's character, and was even more annoyed by Zhao Yumei's selfishness, so she didn't tell them at all.

Zhao Yumei knew that things were different now, so when she saw Yan Qingqing, she stopped holding Qiao in her arms, and instead licked her face and said, "Oh, why didn't anyone inform me and your eldest brother about such a big thing in the second brother and sister's family?

Don't let people say you are ignorant. "

Yan Qingqing didn't want to argue with her on this great day, it would make people laugh.

So he said: "Since my eldest brother and sister-in-law are here, please wait aside. The banquet will start soon."

Li Daniu said unconvinced: "Mr. Yan, why are you so ignorant of etiquette? If you don't offer warm hospitality when we come, there is no reason to let the guests wait aside."

Yan Qingqing immediately laughed angrily at him. He was so shameless that he was invincible. It’s no wonder that this kind of person can pass the exam with this kind of brain circuit.

Yan Qingqing said unceremoniously: "Guests, I really don't know what kind of guests you two are. Can you call me a guest if you come uninvited? Can you call me a guest if you come without a feather? Master's house If you are overjoyed and do not help the host but instead seek bad luck, can you call the guests?

How can you guys, who come here to eat and drink with your meal in hand, have the nerve to say that you are guests?

Or maybe some people are used to getting something for nothing and take this behavior for granted. As a human being, it's better to have a little face. "

Li Daniu blushed at Yan Qingqing's words. He didn't know when Yan Qingqing became so eloquent.

Li Daniu murmured for a long time, pointed at Yan Qingqing and said only four words: "insulting to gentlemen".

Yan Qingqing snorted coldly and said: "It is better to humiliate a polite person than to be a polite scum."

Li Daniu really couldn't stay any longer this time and walked away angrily.

If you don't know the truth and see Li Daniu's appearance, it will really look like a scholar who is humiliated.

Li Daniu had gone, and Zhao Yumei couldn't stay with the remaining one. However, she complained in her heart that Li Daniu failed to succeed and failed, and she couldn't eat such a good meal today.

Mrs. Xu on the side witnessed Yan Qingqing's verbal battle with Li Daniu and his wife. She silently gave Yan Qingqing a thumbs up. Yan Qingqing said what she had wanted to say but dared not say for so many years.

After driving away Li Daniu and his wife, the banquet started soon.

Those who built houses for Yan Qingqing's family were very happy. They had never had such a sumptuous meal.

Everyone's mouths were full of oil as they ate. Some said that the turn red was really good and worthy of being named by the county magistrate. Some said that the Sixi meatballs were delicious and worthy of being made by the chef of Yuelaiju.

Anyway, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

The village chief was one of the people invited by Yan Qingqing to take charge. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, he came out and spoke: "Everyone, the master knows that we have worked hard to build the house during this period, so we specially spent a lot of money to prepare a banquet." noodle.

I hope that everyone will work harder after eating and drinking well, and strive to let the host family live in a new house as soon as possible.

Can everyone agree? "

"Okay! Okay!" There was a chorus of agreement below.

After eating such a good meal, everyone is grateful and will naturally work harder.
