Luo Ling poked him lightly on the waist and gestured towards the house.
Ling Xiao suddenly realized and lowered his voice a bit, "Uncle Yang won't be in our house for a day, right?"
Meng Qidi winked at him, "Are my dad and the others back? It's time to eat."
Ling Xiao nodded, "I'm going to go back and take a shower. By the way, how do you think I should talk about this now?"
Meng Qidi glanced at him and said, "You decide for yourself. You can't just let them be like this."
Ling Xiao had a headache. "After dinner, I'll talk to Uncle Yang about the wall at home."
"It will probably be ready tomorrow morning. I'll go in and help. When my dad comes, remember to call me. I have something to talk to him about."
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao asked suspiciously. What was it that no longer needed him?
"Writing, I'll go in first." Meng Qidi waved at him, "It's okay, you go take a shower too."
Abandoned by his wife, Ling Xiao smelled his body. Although he didn't sweat, he greeted the other bricklayers in the yard and went into the house to take a shower.
There were many people eating at night, with a whole family and several chefs, eating together in a lively atmosphere.
After the meal, several masters went back. Yi Bo sent them to the village entrance, Wang Jinhua went to wash the dishes, and Ling Xiao took Master Yang to the next hill.
"What do you want from me?" In the yard, Mr. Qiu looked at his daughter suspiciously.
"Write an inscription. Write something here." Meng Qidi moved the stone slab erected in the yard and took out the brush and ink.
"What words?" As Mr. Qiu San said this, he had already rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work.
"Qiyuan."
"The Qi in your name? Are you going to hang it at the entrance?"
Meng Qidi nodded quickly.
When Yi Bo came back, the father and daughter were carving together.
"Hang it by the door? That's a good name, with a deep meaning."
Meng Qidi twitched her lips. What could be the deep meaning of this...
The title was ready and the carving was done very quickly. All that could be seen was the tools in Meng Qidi's hands knocking against each other and raising dust.
"When did you learn this?" Yi Bo was watching with great interest and couldn't help asking.
Mr. Qiu sneered, "She said she figured it out herself. The tools are really complete."
He didn't know when this girl became omnipotent. If Meng Daqiang wasn't here, he would have to have a good talk with him!
Yi Bo didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile, "Our Xiao Qi is really capable, it's a good thing for Ling Xiao."
Yi Bo sighed. If Xiao Qi had grown up in Beijing, to be honest, he would be the first one to disagree with marrying to such a remote place, unless Ling Xiao became the son-in-law. Life here is too hard...
The two people who were talking on the western hill have already come down. When Master Yang came down, his steps were brisk. He didn't even bother to greet the three people in the yard and quickly went into the house.
After a while, Master Yang came out with a smile on his face, said hello to a few people, and left quickly with a flashlight.
Yi Bo asked suspiciously, "What's going on? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with him? He seems to be particularly happy, as if, it's like..."
Yi Bo was stuck on the word and couldn't find a suitable adjective for a long time.
"I guess good things are coming." Mr. Qiu glanced at Ling Xiao, somewhat surprised that he would take the initiative to do this.
According to the local customs, although there is no requirement for a widow to remain a widow for life, it is unlikely that a son would personally marry off his mother...
Ling Xiao squatted down beside Meng Qidi and lowered his voice, "Uncle Yang went back to see the date. He said that his family only has a small yard in the town. He can move here and the yard in the town can be sold."
Marry into the wife's family? This surprised the two men next to him even more. However, looking at the environment of this house, it is estimated that anyone would be willing to live here.
"No, tell Uncle Yang not to sell it. If you don't live in it, it will be empty. We can use it as a warehouse when we have more stuff in the future."
Meng Qidi hurriedly tried to stop her. She still wanted to buy a house in the town. However, Master Yang’s carpentry yard was really big.
"Lao Yang and Jinhua? Oh, I knew there was something wrong with them." Yi Bo smiled.
"But, we have to treat this happy day well and buy all the furniture for your mother."
Ling Xiao nodded. This matter must be made up for. His mother has suffered all her life.
He glanced at his wife's work and asked, "How about I do it?"
"I'm afraid you'll break my things. By the way, remember to bring me some firecrackers and candies when you come back tomorrow. We need to set off firecrackers when we build the front door, some in the air."
Mr. Qiu glanced at the young couple and said, "Then let your mother pick another date. Since we want to make it more grand, why not just wait for the documents from above to come down and hold a grand opening ceremony directly."
Meng Qidi was silent. She had originally just set up the shop on a whim, but now it had completely turned into a grand opening...
Okay, when I make the door tomorrow, I'll tell the master to leave a space for the stone slab.
Wang Jinhua came out after washing the dishes and wiped her hands, not feeling embarrassed at all. "There's no need to make a big deal about what happened between me and Old Yang. We don't need to spend that money. We can just pick a date and have your Uncle Yang move in."
"That won't do!"
Meng Qidi handed the tools in her hand to Ling Xiao, leaving only the final finishing touches on the engraving.
"We don't do this a big deal, but we have to wait for the day, buy new clothes, and buy home appliances. We can't do without."
Wang Jinhua said unhappily, "We don't have anything at home, why are you buying it? It's a waste of money. If you insist on buying it, then Lao Yang and I should just forget it."
She didn't feel embarrassed about living with Lao Yang, but she had to let the villagers know, otherwise they would be confused and unable to explain themselves.
But, to be honest, she was a little worried that the villagers would look down on Old Yang if he moved in. This was not what it meant to be a live-in son-in-law...
Sighing, she didn't know how to describe her feelings...
Unable to persuade the old lady, everyone had to compromise. Meng Qidi said, "Instead of buying furniture, how about buying gold? Jade bracelets are also OK. Also, we have to have a wedding banquet. In addition to getting a marriage certificate, we also have to go through a formality."
She had to help the old lady stand up for herself. She couldn't let people point fingers at her and scold her for marrying as a widow.
so……
Meng Qidi looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Let's go find the clan master later."
After all, the old lady and Uncle Yang are not the kind of people who marry on their own, but rather marry in their husband's family. They are afraid that the people in the house will not accept it and cause trouble.
Ling Xiao lowered his head and tapped his head gently, nodding, "I'll go alone. It's getting dark, so don't go over there."
"You go? Can you convince the old man?" Meng Qidi said disdainfully, "Come with me later, I promise to convince the clan leader and make him stand on our side."
Ling Xiao thought of his wife's eloquence and sighed, "Okay, let's go together and visit Uncle's house."
He was not afraid of others, but he was afraid that his uncle would not be able to distinguish between good and evil and would take the lead in making trouble.
The couple took the initiative to take on the task, and Wang Jinhua let them do whatever they wanted.
When Meng Qidi and her partner went out, Wang Jinhua took Xiao Chengzi and Chujiu to bed, and Yi Bo also pushed Uncle Qiu Sanye back home.
