Chapter 374: What a shocking gossip
Tables have been set up in the main house and the side rooms, and the women and children sat down first.
The rest of the people who couldn't sit down lifted the tables and took the benches, and squeezed into the yard.
Although it was the coldest month of winter, two braziers were lit, and it didn't feel cold when there were more people. Instead, it was more convenient for everyone to chat, and it became a popular place.
Some fried melon seeds and cooked peanuts were placed on the table in advance.
Everyone chatted while enjoying their food.
The uncles talked about things in the fields, and several families who planted peach trees discussed when to prune the branches.
The women talked about the marriage of the widow Gu's sister-in-law, and they all smiled and waited for the wedding wine on the day.
Although Cuicui had tasted the forbidden fruit before the wedding night.
But the people in the north were open-minded and no one in the village laughed at her. Instead, there were more people who protected her and blamed the son-in-law for being too petty. He must have seduced Cuicui first.
Dean Wei was sitting in the inner room and talked about the gossip in the city.
"By the way, there has been a hot topic in the city recently." Dean Wei lowered his voice and whispered to Ali.
"There is a wealthy family in the south of the city. The male owner of the family, under the pretext of studying, brought in two good friends to have sex. As a result, the three of them were tangled together and could not be separated. They were carried to the clinic."
"How could they not be separated?" Ali looked up in surprise.
"I heard that it was the male owner's wife who was so angry that she ordered the servants to bring paste to help the three people when they were not paying attention. Afterwards, she did not let them wear clothes, but only took red veils to cover their faces, and carried them to the clinic with gongs and drums. Now people in the city are saying that the three of them "entered the bridal chamber" in the street." Dean Wei wanted to laugh more and more as he spoke.
Everyone at the table widened their eyes.
Entering the bridal chamber... in the street.
I dare not imagine what a shocking scene this is.
Mu Yihan immediately raised his big hands and covered Xiao Nuobao's ears, for fear that he would lead his daughter astray.
Ali listened with gusto and begged Dean Wei to say more.
Among all the people, only Feng Jing remained silent, howling in his heart.
God, he had seen that scene before, it must be that family again!
Recalling the scene of that day, Feng Jing wanted to dig his eyes out, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Soon, all the food was served.
There were eight dishes and one soup on each table, including hard dishes such as braised pork in brown sauce and fried pork ribs with green onions.
Li Qiqiao also added a new spicy rabbit dish she had learned, wanting to let the villagers try it and help her pick out the flaws for future use.
Everyone threw their arms around and ate enthusiastically, and they all felt that Li Qiqiao's cooking skills were truly divine.
Not to mention the villagers, even the little Nuobao who stayed with the second sister-in-law every day never got tired of eating.
At this moment, his little face was buried in the bowl, and he was reluctant to look up while eating.
Mu Yihan held her on his lap, wiping her greasy lips from time to time, picking the rice grains on her cheeks, and enjoying the fun of taking care of a child.
Halfway through her meal, Li Qiqiao talked about food and living with Yang Tianmei and the others.
If they were to open a restaurant there, they would definitely be short of staff, and they would have to pick two good cooks from the village.
Li Yiner sat with Wencai on her left hand and Jinniang on her right. The three of them picked up food from each other, just like a family of three.
"Second sister-in-law of the Jiang family, do you think Jinniang is any good? She used to cook some fine dishes at the Duke's Mansion. Her skills are definitely good, but it takes a little effort for her to talk to the guests." Yiner said while picking up the day lily.
Li Qiqiao looked at the pretty Jinniang and nodded with a smile.
"As long as Jinniang is willing to come, let her work in the back kitchen. She doesn't have to greet guests, and she won't be scared by them."
Widow Gu said hurriedly, holding a piece of pork chop in her mouth, "And my daughter Cuicui is getting married soon, and she also wants to earn more to support the family. This girl has a straightforward personality and is hardworking, so she won't have any problem with the work."
Li Qiqiao was very happy, so she agreed and accepted two capable people.
Jinniang is well-behaved and can cook, and Cuicui is a hardworking girl. With this combination, the work is not tiring.
So she set a salary of one and a half taels. If she can keep working, she can increase it to two taels per month after half a year.
The women were all talking and laughing, and they also talked about business.
The uncles at those tables were very excited to hear this, but it was a pity that they were not good at cooking.
But they also want to find something to do to kill their free time, so as not to stay at home all day and quarrel with their wives.
When the national teacher came, the village chief secretly organized a patrol team.
Although the patrol team has been disbanded, Old Li still thinks that the village is getting richer and richer, and someone must be dedicated to keeping watch.
"In my opinion, why don't we split into groups of two and take turns sleeping in the school to keep watch, patrolling the village twice in the first half of the night and the second half of the night." Zhang Xiucai suggested.
The school is closest to the village entrance, and with the help of Da Huang, any movement can be heard at the first time.
The village chief thought it was good, so he asked everyone to sign up.
Unexpectedly, most men in the village were willing to do this job.
Two people form a team, staying in the school at night, watching the hot stove, chatting about men's gossip, it seems like a good job.
Although the men in the village love to take care of their families, they sometimes want to hide away from their parents, wives and children and find a place to stay by themselves.
The village chief secretly glanced at his wife and wanted to join the night watch team.
"Since I am the village chief, I have to take the lead." The village chief pretended to be serious and said, "In my opinion, no one should take the night watch on the first day, let me and Lao Li take the lead."
At night, the two of them had some peanuts
and a little wine.
Isn't it wonderful?
But the village head's wife glared at him as soon as she heard him. "Why are you going to bed? You are old and your butt is loose. You fart loudly. I think you have trouble getting on the bed!"
"Stay at home and forget about your cold legs!"
The whole village burst into laughter after hearing the roar of the Hedong lion.
The village head blushed and wanted to scold him but didn't dare. Old Li was knocked to the ground by the cigarette holder, so he had to hide under the table while picking it up.
After a good meal, the villagers were all bloated and couldn't sit straight.
At this time, the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village hummed, as if someone had come to the village.
Two boys in the village were squatting at the door, playing with urine and mud. When they looked up, they ran into the yard.
"They're back!" the children shouted.
"What are they back?" The village chief didn't respond.
"It's the third brother of the Jiang family who's back!"
"And the second uncle Yang and the others, they're all back!"
What?
The villagers stood up immediately.
Feng was startled, and the chopsticks fell on the table with a click.
She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, she jumped off the ground and ran to the door.
