"What do you mean?" Huang Xiaosi scratched his head. "Are you insulting me?"
"How could that be?" Huang Xiaosan grinned, revealing his white teeth. "I'm praising you."
"Really?" Huang Xiaosi looked skeptical. "What are you praising me for? 'Having a broad mind'?"
“Hehe,” Huang Xiaopang said, emphasizing each word, “so wide that you can ride a horse anywhere.”
It's confirmed! This guy was indeed indirectly criticizing himself for being heartless!
Huang Xiaosi was furious and shouted through gritted teeth, "Fatty, I'll fight you to the death!"
“It’s so lively,” Wang said with a smile. “Mother, the house has become much more lively since my husband came back.”
"What does this have to do with your husband? He's always making a fuss like this," Jiang Nuan thought to herself.
However, he didn't dare to say it aloud.
In the end, it was she who broke up the couple, causing them to be separated for so long.
Nodding in agreement, she finally spoke, "It's good to be lively; it makes things more vibrant."
"Yes," Wang said, barely able to contain her excitement, her voice much stronger than usual. "When my second and third brothers come back tonight, our whole family will be together."
As they talked, they prepared the food and immediately sent it to the main road.
Along the official road, most of the able-bodied men in the village came here, working and discussing things with great interest.
A: "We need to build roads and schools in Huangjiakou. I'll find some time tomorrow to burn some paper money to thank our ancestors."
Yi: "Why thank our ancestors? It has nothing to do with them. The second branch paid the money, and we benefited from it. Our ancestors are still in their coffins."
C: "How can it not be related? How can you have a second wife if you don't have ancestors?"
Ding: "That makes sense. If our ancestors hadn't been accurate enough back then and had set the target slightly off-target, we wouldn't even know where we were, let alone the second branch of the family."
A: "Yes, we must properly thank them for sparing our lives."
Yi: "Alright then, I'll prepare some incense and paper money too."
Ding: Count me in, let's go together.
Bing looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "This incident has taught me a lesson."
"What's the reasoning?" someone guessed. "To properly honor one's ancestors?"
“No,” Bing shook his finger, “it’s about perfecting your aim, making sure you never miss. Hundreds of years from now, we’ll be ancestors ourselves. If we miss even a little now, who knows which promising descendant might be gone.”
"That makes sense."
The four exchanged a glance, their eyes immediately revealing a knowing look.
Cough cough...
Huang Xiaosan, standing to the side, was nearly driven mad by the four people's nonsensical remarks.
"What's wrong?" Old Huang put down his work and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath. "Coughing like this? Have you caught a cold?"
“No,” Huang Xiaosan said, repeating what he had just heard to his second brother after he felt a little better.
"This is outrageous, this is going too far!" Huang Lao Er was furious. "How could they say such things? What does this have to do with the Huang family ancestors?"
“Exactly,” Huang Xiaosan nodded repeatedly, “It’s really unreliable.”
“That’s right,” Huang the eldest agreed. “It was clearly Mother who earned the money. If anyone should be thanked, it should be the ancestors of the Jiang family. No, I have to go and talk to them. How can people be so unreasonable? They’re thanking the wrong person.”
Cough cough...
Huang Xiaosan choked on his own saliva once again.
Can you grasp the key points one by one?
Shouldn't we be most grateful to our mother who provided the money?
Sure enough, I shouldn't have said those things to my silly second brother.
This guy's brain is about the same as the others'; you can't count on him.
This experience taught him a lesson: Don't have any illusions about the intelligence of simpletons.
