Chapter 187 Hothouse Wine
Wang quickly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to go to the field and call the man back.
Li Dachuan took down all his things, and the table in the courtyard was no longer able to accommodate them.
Wang was so shocked that she was stunned: "Dachuan, this is too much, we can't waste it like this, quickly take some back to the car."
"Aunt, this is nothing. Your family helps us a lot every day. This is not a lot. Besides, my parents asked me to take these. If I take them back, they will say that I don't know how to do things."
After saying that, Li Dachuan saw two little girls about six or seven years old staring at the things on the table. He opened the candies he bought and handed them to them.
The two girls' eyes lit up, but they didn't dare to take it. They looked at Wang, who said, "Keep it. Thank your uncle."
"Thank you, cousin." The two girls took the candies and put them in their mouths. The sweet candies made them smile.
Not long after, Zhao Mancang returned with his sons and grandsons one after another.
Li Dachuan felt that not only his aunt looked old, but his uncle also looked several years older than before. His cousin and several children all looked pale and sallow.
Zhao Mancang put the hoe next to the wall and said with a smile, "Dachuan is here."
When I saw the table full of things, my eyelids jumped. Is this not going to last forever?
He asked, "Why do you carry so many things?"
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are doing well."
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I haven't been able to visit you guys since the New Year. How is your father's recovery going?"
"It's all right now, don't worry, uncle."
"Then we are relieved. We have everything we need at home. You took too much. Take some back with you when you leave."
"Uncle, you can keep it. Our family is doing business now, so we are not short of money." Li Dachuan took a quick look and asked, "By the way, why don't you see my cousin Wenhu?"
The Zhao family was silent for a moment. Wang forced a smile and said, "He went out to work with his friends."
"Oh. By the way, uncle, our family has built a new house, and we are going to hold a housewarming party in four days. You, my aunt, and my cousins can come over and have a seat."
"Well, your family's life is finally getting better."
The eldest daughter-in-law was surprised when she saw the soap and shampoo on the table. She knew what they were. Even if she had never used them, she must have seen someone in the village use them.
This shampoo is used to wash hair and it is very smooth. The soap is used to wash face and it is also very clean and fragrant.
This is a lot of money.
There were also snacks and crispy candies. She hadn't had snacks for a long time.
Li Dachuan began to introduce the things he brought, and told them how to eat and use them.
Finally, take out a few beads and wrapped flowers from the small wooden box.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the two little girls' eyes lit up. They had never seen such a beautiful head flower before. In the past, if a girl in the village wore a silk flower, she would be envied.
Now they have them too, and they are prettier than silk flowers.
Li Dachuan said, "Uncle, I'll go to Uncle Two first and tell him."
"Okay, go ahead and come over for dinner later."
The eldest brother Zhao Wensong helped Li Dachuan carry the things to Zhao Manliang's house. The two families were only three households apart.
Zhao Manliang and his son had just returned home from the fields. When they saw Li Dachuan carrying so many things, their eyelids jumped.
Li Dachuan repeated the same statement again.
Zhao Manliang nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go then, and have lunch at my second uncle's house at noon."
Zhao Wensong said, "Second Uncle, my mother has prepared the meal. Dad said that you, Second Aunt and cousin should all come to my house for lunch."
"Okay. You guys go back first, we'll wipe our sweat off before we go."
The two men turned and left.
Zhao Manliang's wife, He, sighed, "My eldest sister's family has finally found happiness after all the hardships they have endured."
"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met. Let's go in a few days."
"But what about Wenliang and my eldest brother's Wenhu? Where can we go to inform them?"
The smile on Zhao Manliang's face suddenly faded: "Why do you still mention them? Even if they are at home, my brother and I can't let them go. They are having a housewarming party and it's a happy event. What if we take them there and they cause trouble? It's better for them to die outside to avoid dragging down the family."
When Mrs. He thought of her good-for-nothing son, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
－－－－
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the housewarming wine.
People from the village came to help early in the morning. This time there were ten dishes and two soups, four meat dishes and six vegetable dishes.
The large courtyard is spacious enough to accommodate dozens of tables.
The sun was high in the sky, and villagers and relatives arrived one after another.
Old man Li, old lady Li and Li Youfu's family in the old house.
Following behind her were Li Chunyan, her husband and their children.
The second wife's daughter Li Xiumei and her family, Li Xiangyu and his wife also came
This was their first time entering this yard and their eyes were wide open.
My God, they could only see from the outside that the house was huge, they didn’t know it was so well built inside.
Even the ground is paved with blue bricks. How much does this cost?
Many people made the same exclamation and looked envious.
At the same time, many people decided in their hearts that they must protect the Li family. With them around, they could also make money.
This year, just by working for the Li family, I earned three to five taels of silver without much effort, and some even earned seven to eight taels.
Several families who lived in thatched houses were also planning to convert them into adobe and tiled houses.
When I have nothing to do, I make mud bricks. After the autumn harvest, the bricks are dried and I can rebuild the house.
Even those families whose tiles are originally damaged need to replace them with new tiles.
Zhao Dafa also wanted to build a blue brick house when he became rich.
Yang Lian'er also came here with her parents.
Seeing such a big house, I couldn't stop feeling regretful.
If she had known that the Li family was doing so well now, she would never have broken off the engagement.
When I turned around and saw Li Sandong walking down the corridor, I almost didn't recognize him.
He had his black hair tied up high, wore new clothes, and had his back straight. Compared to before, his temperament was completely different, and his words and actions were like the son of a wealthy family.
Look at what Wang Guixiang and Sun Xiuqin are wearing, including the hairpins on their heads. Even Xiaolan and the other girls are wearing pearl flowers and embroidered silk clothes.
She looked down at the woolen and cotton clothes on her body. This was the set Cao Wenxing bought for her because she took care of the concubine.
She subconsciously touched her increasingly haggard face.
Since getting married, the concubine has been feeling unwell every other day, and the time Cao Wenxing has stayed in her room can be counted on one hand.
Later, she couldn't stand it anymore and went to complain to her mother-in-law. Only then did Cao Wenxing restrain himself and stay away for a day.
A few days ago, the concubine accidentally fell, but unfortunately the child was not lost. She had a miscarriage and had to stay in bed to rest, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the room.
It was impossible for her mother-in-law and Cao Wenxing to serve, so she had to come.
The humiliation in her heart made her want to strangle the concubine to death, but she couldn't.
The mother-in-law was smart enough to know her grievances, so she bought her a set of ready-made clothes.
Want to soothe the resentment in her heart.
Today she finally got some free time to go back to her parents' home, and when she learned that Li Sandong's family was going to hold a house-warming party, she came along.
But seeing these, she felt uncomfortable. Why did God treat her like this?
