Chapter 153: Village Head Marries His Daughter (Part 1)
After dinner, Qiao Qiqi and the young men in the village paid them their wages in full.
Because tomorrow is the day when the village headman marries his daughter, Qiao Qiqi decides to hold a big banquet the day after tomorrow and invite all the villagers of Yandong Village to join in the feast.
As for the craftsmen, Qiao Qiqi gave them another big red envelope.
As for the second and third branches of the Zhao and Pei families, they wanted the head craftsman to use the remaining materials to help them build two houses.
But they are so stingy that they don’t want to pay, so why would anyone pay attention to them?
Finally, they managed to scrape together some money to pay for the subsidy!
However, it was only enough money for them to build two wooden houses.
After seeing the money, the craftsman told them that he would help them build a wooden house after the banquet.
That night, Qiao Qiqi and the others were not in a hurry to move into the stone house.
Because the newly repaired house still needs to dry, and some furniture is still missing.
"Husband, the village is getting married tomorrow. How are we going to pay the tribute?"
Qiao Qiqi lay in Pei Shaoling's arms and asked softly.
"Just give me two rolls of red cloth wrapped with two taels of silver."
Pei Shaoling hugged Qiao Qiqi tighter, "My dear, after we have a feast with the people from Yandong Village, I will go back to the capital!"
"Huh? So fast?"
Qiao Qiqi had actually been prepared for this, but she was still a little reluctant.
After sharing weal and woe these days, she has completely put the man in front of her into her heart.
"Well, this trip will take at least three months, and at most half a year. I will definitely take care of the affairs in the capital and welcome you back. This Yandong Village is remote, and you will be very safe here. I can rest assured."
Pei Shaoling placed his chin on Qiao Qiqi's hair and gently stroked it. "I will take half of the people from Yanyu Tower and leave the other half to you. Between An Dian and An Lei, who do you want to keep?"
"Take them both with you. You'll definitely need help to do your business in the capital. I'll feel more at ease with them around."
Qiao Qiqi said while hugging his strong waist.
"Well, this place is not far from the main hall of Yanyu Tower. If anything happens, let them take you and your mother directly to the main hall for refuge."
Pei Shaoling had already considered every aspect.
Only when Qiao Qiqi and the others stayed here safely could he let go and deal with those things in the capital.
"Okay, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom and the others! I will also wait for you to pick us up!"
Qiao Qiqi nodded gently, "Are you planning to clear the Pei family's grievances first before going on to do something big?"
Pei Shaoling sighed softly, "Actually, I've been thinking about this for the past two days. Before, I planned to make you the most noble woman in the world. But I can see that your heart isn't in it."
Qiao Qiqi blushed slightly. "Did you find out? Actually, I don't think being the most honored person is important. I only wish for a lifelong companionship. If you were the ruler of the world, you would definitely establish a harem for various reasons in the future..."
Although she didn't show it these days, she was actually feeling very upset.
"Well, so, I plan to wait until the Pei family's injustice is cleared, and then we'll find a quiet place to live out our lives, okay? Then, we'll raise a pair of children. I'll teach the boy martial arts and literacy, and the girl..."
Pei Shaoling was looking forward to it.
"Girls should also be taught martial arts and how to read, so they can protect themselves."
Qiao Qiqi took over the topic.
"But if it were our daughter, she would definitely be as white and tender as a glutinous rice dumpling. I can't bear to let her suffer like that."
Pei Shaoling frowned slightly, "My daughter, I want her to live happily all her life and not be hurt in any way."
"In this way, she becomes a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain!"
Qiao Qiqi disagreed, "Husband, do you know what? In our world, equality between men and women is important. Girls can't be dodders, relying on others. They need to have their own independent lives, only then can they live happily."
"Well, I'll do as you say."
Pei Shaoling curled his lips, "When will my wife let me hold those children?"
Qiao Qiqi blushed even more when she heard this. "You, you're not planning to..."
"How is that possible?"
Pei Shaoling couldn't help but laugh, "Although I really want to, I can't do that now. This wooden house is not soundproof. I don't want others to hear my wife's beautiful voice."
Forehead.
Qiao Qiqi's ears turned red, and she turned over, "Stop talking, go to bed early!"
"My dear, you must wait for me to come pick you up! I will make you the happiest bride in the world!"
Pei Shaoling whispered in Qiao Qiqi's ear.
Qiao Qiqi smiled faintly, moved closer to Pei Shaoling's arms, and fell asleep with a full sense of happiness.
Early the next morning, the faint sound of gongs and drums was heard.
The foot of the mountain where Qiao Qiqi and the others were was quite a distance away from the village where the headman lived, and was located on the edge of the village.
But here, they can hear it very clearly.
This shows that the wedding of a daughter in the village head’s family is still a very lively occasion.
The custom of marrying off daughters in Yandong Village is to have two big meals at noon and in the evening. Only those who go to help with the work will be provided with breakfast.
So Mrs. Zhou had already prepared breakfast early in the morning.
Since there is no shortage of water now, breakfast is much richer.
There are meat buns, porridge, meat patties and the like.
Although this is a big banquet in Yandong Village, everyone in the village can bring their families to eat.
However, since the Pei family had just arrived, Pei Shaoling decided to go with Qiao Qiqi alone.
After all, the food at their home is not particularly bad, and the food made by Mrs. Zhou is definitely as tasty as that made by the chef.
After all, Mrs. Zhou is a cook from a wealthy family in Beijing.
The second and third branches of the Pei family and the Zhao family planned for everyone to attend.
These days, they watched as the Qiao Qiqi family next door prepared delicious food every day to entertain those who built the house, while they and others could only go to the nearby mountains to pick some wild vegetables.
Their stomachs have been rumbling for a long time.
Hearing that the feast here was open to the whole family, they were all excitedly calculating the time.
In the wooden house, Qiao Qiqi was combing her hair on a simple dressing table and looking at Pei Shaoling in the mirror.
"Husband, now that we're here, do you think that Heavenly Dao has given up?"
These days, everything has become quiet.
No natural disasters, no strange animals.
"It's failed time and time again. Now that we've come this far, we haven't even been able to get the system it created. It must have given up!"
Pei Shaoling said softly, "But we still can't let our guard down. Maybe it has already prepared a backup plan for us! After I leave, you must be extra careful!"
"Well, I know, don't worry!"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the time and said, "Let's go, it's almost time to go to the headman's house!"
