Chapter 9 The Orchid Heart
The elders are very particular about this. You may not be very happy when you send off the old man, but if you send the coffin and shroud, the old man will be very happy. This is great filial piety.

The old man wiped his coffin almost every day, and took a look at the shroud. The old man cared about this.

Li Hui is so smart. She herself is a rich and beautiful woman. After marrying Wang Yi, she is a person who has been socializing all the year round. She has also experienced the cruelty of the end times. It can be said that she has experienced a lot.

"You are a filial person. When you have money, you will think of us old guys for the first time. Then I will not refuse. At my age, this is the only thing I care about."

When you die, you can be buried properly and sleep in a good coffin, which is better than anything else.

"Mother, look at what you said. I haven't made any money outside these years, and I have been tossing around. Thanks to you for helping me take Wenwen with me, I am very grateful.

In the past, it was fine if we had no money, but now that we have some money in hand, we discussed repairing the tomb of our ancestors, which is also our filial piety as juniors. "

Wang Yi is the top of the rich, and their circle can trust these things. It is not surprising to think of this.

"Well, Brother Yi, you should discuss it with your second uncle. I have an idea in my heart. Listen, it doesn't matter if it's not suitable."

"You say."

Wang Yi lowered his head and helped the old lady to sit down. He used to be filial to the old mother at home, and his family has a long history.

"Thanks to the patriarch and relatives for taking care of our family after your father left.

You are in the county town, and the villagers helped our grandparents and grandchildren. I see that you have a lot of money left. Why don’t you repair the ethnology and ancestral hall in your clan? I remember that the last time it cost less than 100 taels.

Brother Yi, Wangjia Village is your root. No matter how far you go, you can’t forget this root. A single tree can’t make a forest. After all, there are still two seventh-rank county magistrates in our Wangjia Village, and you are still far behind. "

The old lady educated her son earnestly.

There are two seventh-rank county magistrates in Wangjia Village, and they are both released outside. One of them is the second son of the patriarch, and the couple are both released outside.

A county magistrate is the third son of the Lizheng family, and his wife is also the daughter of the county magistrate next door.

Because the Wang family has talents, it is possible to marry with a big family. Even ordinary girls from a big family are better than others. Only by marriage can they take care of each other, especially in the officialdom.

A letter from someone is more useful than your thousand taels of gold. Otherwise, the road to becoming an official in the imperial examination for the descendants of rich businessmen will be many times more difficult than that of poor families, and even the money may not be given out.

Wang Yi secretly praised the old lady's excellent tutoring in his heart, and bowed his head more respectfully to listen to the training.

"Yes, I listen to you. That's what I think. The ethnology of the ancestral hall must be repaired. I repaired the cemetery of my ancestors. I don't understand the rules and regulations. I have to ask the patriarch to come out."

The old lady nodded, with a pleasant face, "How do you know this when you are young, you have to come to the old man, this matter will not be urgent for a while, it will be done after the spring plowing is over.

I turned around to discuss with the patriarch, you should breathe first, let's go to the tea garden first, where is the shop. "

"Leave the shop to the housekeeper, I bought a housekeeper, old man, do you know the Zhang family in the tea garden?"

The old lady rubbed her forehead and suddenly realized, "I remember, that Zhang Dashan, he built the road out of our village. He has a son, I heard that he doesn't learn well and has no future. Is it his family?"

"Yes, it's his family's son, that prodigal son. After the old man died, he was hooked and taught to learn to gamble. In fact, he took a fancy to his family's little property. He probably even cheated and coaxed him to carve up all of it."

"Hey! His family has no official status, his children are worthless, and his wealth touches people's hearts. It's normal that he can't keep it when the old man is gone.

Otherwise, when your father left, why did you give that bit of land to the clan school, because you expect the clan to take care of our family, so you cannibalism. "

The old lady is also teaching her son and daughter-in-law.

"My father-in-law still thinks long-term. This time, we can repair the ancestral hall and the ethnology better, which can be regarded as a reward. Is there any reciprocity?"

Li Hui opened the back basket, and there were some snacks and candies inside, "Mom, I bought some snacks and candies. We were sick before and were helped by big guys. I thought about giving some gifts to each household. Say thanks."

"It's easy to say, you have done a good job in this matter, and you are thoughtful, so you can take Wenwen with you and learn to keep your eyebrows high and your eyes low."

Mrs. Wang nodded happily and glanced at her daughter-in-law Li Hui appreciatively.

"Okay, I'll have dinner at noon tomorrow."

"can."

People in rural areas pay attention to the time of giving gifts, it is best to go after eating, so as not to eat other people's meals.

People in the village are not rich, you go before you eat, they want to keep food, the family is so poor, it’s not polite to let you eat, so it’s not polite to let you eat, so it’s best to go after dinner, and we’re not embarrassed by each other .

After saying this, Wenwen tugged at the old lady's sleeves, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

"My dear, let's have a snack first."

The old lady didn't care whether the things were expensive or not, so she took a piece of dim sum and put it in her granddaughter's mouth.

"You and Wenwen keep these two bags for eating, I specially bought soft ones for you and Wenwen to eat."

Li Hui is very efficient in handling things. She has been Wang Yi's good helper for many years, and she is a husband and wife who cooperate with each other tacitly.

Wenwen ate snacks and drank water, and went to play while sitting.

"Do you want to go to the tea garden tomorrow?"

"Go, mother, let's go in a donkey cart. I bought a donkey and a frame for the cart. It won't be cold in the county town in winter, and the donkey can pull the mill, so you can save some effort."

"Come on, I'm going to cook."

"I'll go as well."

Li Hui quickly rolled up her sleeves and followed to the kitchen.

Wang Wenwen took an empty glass and put a glass of water for the old man.

"Drink water, I'll treat you."

"Okay, don't cure them all, as long as it doesn't hurt."

Wang Yi must take into account the eyes of those around him.

Wenwen gave her father a little treatment, and the big bump on her head stopped hurting, but it still looked swollen.

Let mother do the rest, it's not appropriate to do it yourself.

"Wenwen, I'm going to study after I settle things in the tea garden. Your mother has to visit the tea garden often. Can you stay at home and be with grandma?"

"Okay."

"Hey, if you want to go to the tea garden, go with the villagers. You can't be alone, you know?"

"understood."

In the evening, I ate steamed buns with glutinous rice noodles, white porridge, and stir-fried vegetables with bacon. The bacon was saved by my grandma, and there was only the last piece left. It was originally a gift for my wife.

Isn't this rich? Just improve your life. You can prepare some gifts for the master.

"Mother, let's go buy some meat tomorrow. Your granddaughter is asking for meat. I ate shredded pork noodles in the city. It's delicious."

Seeing that the old lady was reluctant to eat meat, Li Hui used her daughter as an excuse. She could see that the old lady loved her granddaughter as if her eyes were hurting.

The old lady didn't even touch the dim sum after buying it, but she was willing to give it to her granddaughter.

"Oh, let me ask, there is indeed no meat."

"Mother, you save these silver and copper coins to buy meat for your children, and I will take the rest of the silver bills to the tea garden, which is not enough for you to ask me."

Li Hui was also a housekeeper before. The old lady treated her very well and taught her how to be a housekeeper.
