Chapter 104

The Bai family's house was soon completed. At noon on the day of completion, Manbao and the others did not eat in the school, but ran behind Bai Shanbao into the new house to eat.

Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Liu, was very generous. She went to the county town to invite a chef, and she also invited many people in the village to help them, especially for a day of running water.

All guests who come can eat at the table, no need to bring gifts.

As the number one person of Qili Village, Mr. Zhuang was of course invited. Of course, Manbao and the others were also called.

There is one person in the village, ranging from a 60-year-old woman who can walk to a child who can eat complementary food in August and September. Everyone came.

Of course, the villagers were embarrassed and came empty-handed and brought more or less things. The Xiao Qian and others who came to help also declined the wages offered by the Bai family. The village chief's daughter-in-law represented everyone and the servants who came to give the money. : "Every family has to help each other on weddings and weddings in the village, and they have never given money to anyone. Since your old lady lives in the village, she is from Qili Village, and the villagers help each other out. It should be."

Everyone hurriedly responded, and Mrs. Qian replied: "That is, the house built by your old lady is not ordinary. It took so many days to build it, and we men are embarrassed to take the money. Before my sister-in-law came home, she was arguing to build it for your house. The house was supposed to be built in a few days.”

"Yeah, folks in the village, who doesn't have a hand in building a house? Just take care of your food. It was embarrassing for men to ask for wages before, so we'll help with two meals, washing, and everything. You don’t need to be in charge, where do you need wages, take it back quickly, take it back quickly.”

The servants obviously did not expect this, it was beyond their knowledge, and they could only go back to the old lady and wife with the reward.

Zheng Shi obviously didn't expect it, and said: "The villagers of Qili Village are simple, mother, will this money be returned?"

Liu shi thought about it and said: "Since it is a custom in their village, then they will not give it. If you give it hard, it will not only fail, but it will also look good."

Zheng was amazed, "There are people in this world who don't need money for help. My daughter-in-law remembers that when she used to be in the clan, even if a distant relative came to help at home, she also had to pay wages."

"Customs vary from place to place. We follow the local customs and instruct the kitchen to sort and collect the decent leftovers and bring them back to the ladies who help us."

The next person should get down.

At this time, Man Bao was climbing on a high chair, sitting next to Bai Shanbao with his feet in the air, looking around curiously, she saw a lot of familiar people, but did not find the fifth brother and the others, just like little adults Sighed.

Before the dishes were served, everyone could only drink the water from the cups, so Bai Shanbao chatted with her, "What are you sighing, is it because the husband said that we can't write articles yet?"

"no."

"What's that for?"

Man Bao gave a "sigh" and said, "My fifth and sixth brothers didn't come, they must have gone to do business, it seems that they are not lucky to eat delicious food today, I heard my sister-in-law say, you guys The family also makes goose meat, and the goose is so big."

Man Bao made a big circle, and Bai Shanbao said, "Impossible, I've never seen a goose in my house."

"You can't be wrong, my sister-in-law never lies." Man Bao said, "If you don't believe it, wait a while and see if the goose is that big."

Hearing them talking, Bai Erlang distorted the topic, and couldn't help correcting them, saying, "Aren't you talking about your fifth brother and sixth brother doing business? We have been going to school for several days. Why are they still going?"

"What does this have to do with us going to school? My third brother is serving there. He must be there. Otherwise, my third brother eats cold buns and drinks cold water. How pitiful."

Bai Erlang also tried drinking cold water in the winter, and said with a shiver, "It's better to spend money on behalf of you to suffer this crime."

If it was before, Bai Erlang would definitely not understand this kind of thing, but he followed Man Bao and the others for a while, and when he came back, he was worried that he would also have to work with Laoding in the future.

Although it was fun there, he was very reluctant to keep digging soil all day long, so he asked his father as soon as he came back, and learned that his father used money to serve, otherwise he would be serving now Dad, when his eldest brother is an adult, it is estimated that it will be his eldest brother's turn.

Knowing that money can be used instead, Bai Erlang became proud. Although he was young and didn't know much, he also knew that their family was the richest in the whole village, even the richest in the nearby villages!

It's not that Man Bao didn't mention it to her family, so she knew the reason, and shook her head decisively: "My family doesn't have enough money, and for five taels of silver, I can marry my fifth brother a wife."

Bai Erlang's eyes widened, "Can you marry a daughter-in-law in five taels?"

"Yeah, your father used the money from your eldest brother's daughter-in-law's marriage to serve as a substitute this year, and next year it will be your turn to take your daughter-in-law's money to serve as a substitute," Man Bao was very worried for him, "what if you can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future? Do it."

Bai Shanbao covered his mouth happily.

Bai Erlang was frightened and frightened. Although he was young, he also knew that his daughter-in-law was a good thing.

He immediately got up from the chair and ran to his father. It happened that the kitchen started serving food, and a group of children immediately picked up chopsticks and waited.

After investigating and serving his team, Bai Shanbao became less picky eaters, and now he wants to eat everything he sees.

It happened to be the second sister-in-law Feng Shi who came to serve the food. When she saw the young aunt, she immediately smiled at her, and put the meat in her hand near Man Bao.

A group of children snorted and drooled while watching the meat in the pot, but the dishes were not ready, and no one moved.

Before coming, Mr. Zhuang gave everyone a etiquette class and knew what the correct rules for dining as a guest are.

Mr. Zhuang sat at the first table in the main hall, glanced out, saw that the students were very good, and nodded with satisfaction.

Just when he was satisfied, Bai Erlang ran up and asked angrily at Master Bai who was sitting beside him, that is, Bai Erlang's father, "Dad, did you take the money for me to marry a daughter-in-law to serve as a substitute?"

Master Bai: "..."

Man Bao stared at the meat tightly, in order to divert her attention, she stared at the meat while whispering to Bai Shanbao next to her: "My fifth brother and the others are amazing, they made a lot of money the day before yesterday and yesterday. money."

Bai Shanbao was never short of food, so he was still reserved at this time, but seeing Manbao like this made him feel greedy, so he looked away with difficulty and just looked at Manbao and asked, "How much is a lot?"

"My fifth brother and sixth brother made three hundred and sixty-eight cents, and more than half a bag of wheat. My second brother was almost a little bit, but he also earned two hundred and eighty-nine cents, and there were many, many wheat and Rice, do you think they are powerful?" Man Bao said, "I'll buy geese to eat after I've divided the money."
