Chapter 54 What a pity!
The head of the village obviously wanted to win her over, and Lu Jinnian could see it.
Since everyone was getting what they needed, she didn't mind making friends with the head of the village. It was nothing more than contributing some game, and they wouldn't take it for free, so why not?
After she left, Li Changqing returned to the house, "Dad, Xiao Lu called you to have dinner."
The whole family was sitting at the dinner table waiting to eat. Upon hearing the news, the head of the village was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then you guys eat, I'll go over there."
"Dad, what do they have to eat? There's no need to give face and go over there, right?" The youngest son Li Changgeng was not very happy.
After all, with the conditions at home, there was no need for his father to make friends with others.
Upon hearing this, the head of the village slammed the table, shocking everyone in the family.
"Nonsense!" He said with a serious expression on his face: "I, Li Sanzhou, have lived to such an old age and have never given face to anyone. It is others who give me face!"
"If you still have the idea of being self-righteous, don't go out with my name! You can't afford to lose that person."
After that, he turned and left.
It's not that he is too strict, but that everyone in Lijiazhuang is related to each other. In his eyes, it is shameful to show off to relatives.
What's more, he has never bullied others in his life, otherwise how could he get to this family today?
Seeing that he was angry, Li Changqing glared at his younger brother. This younger brother didn't know how to read the face. He was like this every time. This mouth was too bad.
Li Changgeng didn't dare to say anything. Now Li Sanzhou has the final say in the family, and then Li Changqing. He is just a lazy person. After
the people left, Li Changgeng's wife Wang said: "You! How many times have I told you not to make Dad angry? Do you listen to me?"
She didn't care about the presence of the eldest sister-in-law and the mother-in-law. Anyway, everyone knew what kind of person Li Changgeng was.
As expected, the others didn't look at the couple. They just ate and did what they were supposed to do.
Li Changgeng was a man after all. He glared at her and told her to stop talking. They were all family and they had to save face.
On the other side, Lu Jinnian saw the head of the village and his friends coming, and hurried over to greet them warmly.
She had set up three tables today. In addition to the people working, there was the head of the village table.
The dishes and meals on the table were the same as everyone else's. There was no difference.
"Don't be polite, everyone, please sit down." The head of the village signaled that the people who came to greet him should leave, and then asked a few familiar juniors to come over.
There was Li Changhu, and in addition to these two people, there was the head of the village and Li Changqing, and then Lu Jinnian.
Because the younger brother and sister didn't want to sit at the table, they ate in the shack and could help add dishes.
"Head of the village, thank you for helping me find a bricklayer to build the house this time." Lu Jinnian picked up the wine glass.
Because it was over, she bought three catties of white wine so that everyone could drink a little. It was impossible to drink well.
The white wine in ancient times was really expensive. One or two catties of wine cost seven cents!
She was thinking about making her own wine and selling it in the future. Corn wine can still be made.
"You're welcome." The head of the village smiled and said, "You will also be a member of Lijia Village in the future. Although we have different surnames, we are all from the same village. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
His coming here today also showed his attitude. In the future, the Lu family will not be treated like other families with different surnames. This Lu family is different!
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, elders." The
head of the village was surprised and delighted by this meal. He just liked to eat and drink, but he didn't expect Lu Jinnian's cooking skills to be so good.
"Xiao Lu, how do you make this dish? It's so delicious!" The head of the village stared at her with wide eyes, still savoring the taste in his mouth.
Apart from other things, there is no smell of game at all. You know, game has a very strong smell.
If the smell can be removed, game can also be a very good delicacy.
Lu Jinnian thought for a while and said, "It is not convenient to disclose this method, but I can tell you how to deal with game, how to make it not have too much smell."
Although the others were curious, they couldn't eavesdrop. They watched the two people muttering for a while, and the head of the village went back with satisfaction.
There was a lot of food this time, and Lu Jinnian shared the unfinished food with everyone, almost everyone had some.
She didn't want her brothers and sisters to eat leftovers, so she packed them all for others.
"Brother, it's a pity, there are so many dishes." Lu Jinxin watched them each carry a small pot of food and leave, and the expression on her face was so painful.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian said, "With so many people eating together, the saliva will mix together. Let's not eat that."
This is the truth, but everyone thinks it's a pity, after all, it's all meat.
"Brother, I want to say a few words to you." Lu Jincheng looked at her.
"Let's go." Lu Jinnian handed the dishwashing task to Lu Jinxin, and then the two of them went to the new house.
The house still needs to be ventilated for a few days. When it is almost dry, they will light a fire and move in in a few days.
"What's wrong, Xiaocheng?" Seeing that he looked worried, Lu Jinnian was a little curious.
Lu Jincheng hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Brother, you are not young anymore, don't you consider getting married?"
Although everyone calls her brother, but the brother is a woman, women always have to get married and have children.
"Why do you mention this suddenly?" Lu Jinnian looked at him puzzled.
Not to mention that because her younger brothers and sisters have not started a family, she will not get married. Even if they have a family, she will live alone.
Getting married will only delay her speed of drawing a sword. Of course, she will not refuse if there is a suitable one, but this is too difficult.
"My study adds a lot of burden to the family, and you don't have time to go on a blind date now." Lu Jincheng's voice became smaller and smaller.
They have talked about this matter more than once or twice, and now he is talking about it again, he is afraid that Lu Jinnian will be angry.
But they are all family, how can he not worry?
Lu Jinnian looked at him, with guilt and grievance on her young face.
"You think too much." She sighed and said, "I just want to be free and alone. Can't you support me when you are successful? Who says you have to get married?"
After thinking about it, she could only use this method to encourage her brother.
"Support you?" Lu Jincheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "I can support you, if you want."
Lu Jinnian pays now, and he will pay in the future!
The two talked for a long time, and didn't go back to bed until very late.
Lu Jincheng also knew in his heart that any more worries now were unnecessary. It would be better to study more and repay his family in the future.
Lu Jinnian started to build the courtyard wall with adobe these two days, but it was quite strenuous.
The house was almost done, and they moved in. Now the children have one more job, which is to collect firewood.
The four kangs must be burned at least once, and everyone has a clear division of labor. Lu Jinnian builds the wall, and they go to collect firewood.
