Chapter 21 Thinking back to Yao Xiangbei

It's fine to waste their land. It was agreed to water the land for five families, but now they have to spare an inch of land for digging ditches.

Every penny is family property, who would be willing to cut flesh?
The Yao family didn't talk too much, and each family gave [-] copper coins to buy that piece of land, which always made people feel like they were being taken advantage of.

However, each of the five families earned nearly two taels of silver from the Yao family, and it was not a big deal to be taken advantage of a little bit, so they hoped that the Yao family would still have work.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Yao family is really digging a well. Although digging a well takes longer than building a house, and you have to dig out water many times before you can drink it, the master who dug the well said that it is a good well.

Although the Yao family built a wall around the well, they opened a door on the side. As long as the relationship between the few families does not become tense, they will be willing to thank the ancestors of the Yao family if they can drink water at that time.

Therefore, even if he felt that there was something wrong with the Yao family, as long as he didn't hurt his own interests, he wouldn't say anything wrong. The original family of bullies who were feared by everyone seemed to have become his own prejudice.

Satisfied with the completion of the house, Liu San hired a mason from the city to plaster the walls inside and outside for the Yao family, and hired a stonemason to chisel some stone slabs and lay them as walkways in the yard.

Li Yang repeatedly confirmed that the horizontally pushed sliding windows were available, and pasted the window paper properly.

Paper is expensive. Few people in the village stick window paper. Most of them make the windows smaller. It’s okay to have no window paper. Don’t say it’s cold in winter, it’s cold.

The Yao family's house is not well-built, but it looks top-notch from the outside.

Many people in the village originally thought that Yao Xiangbei's bully's house would not be able to be built with the help of Yao Laosan when they came to the village.

Most of the courtyards in the village are surrounded by bamboo fences, but even the walls of the Yao family's courtyard are made of mud bricks.

God really has no eyes, let Yao Xiangbei pick up such a good son-in-law.

Everyone in the village has heard that the tiles and stones that cost the most to build a house are given by others, and the wood and furniture are made at a discount.

Some people regret that their family did not find such a profitable son-in-law. Of course, this can only be a verbal regret. Who can be like the Yao family, who can buy a son-in-law for the fat girl in the family instead of buying land and building a house when they have money?Also bought it twice.

So at the end of the discussion, the regret became that the Yao family invited them to work, but they didn't come.

The Yao family didn't miss a penny of twenty Wen a day's wages. It was real money. It made people feel like they missed hundreds of millions.

The second son of the Yao family is getting better every day, and if they build up a good relationship in the future, maybe they will hire him for work?
On the appointed day, the Li family delivered brand-new furniture, delivered by Li family apprentices, who arranged the rooms one by one, and the house instantly felt liveable.

Then the custom-made sheets, bedding, new clothes, door curtains, etc. were also delivered, and they were put away room by room, and the popularity of the house increased a bit.

The lady of the Yao family, who spends money like water, bought brand new daily necessities such as bowls, chopsticks, pans, rice jars, and sauce jars, and placed them in the new home.

After Yao Xiangbei pasted the big red Monroe money on the door lintel, the day of moving came.

In the past, the customs were different from place to place, and each family in Tangjia Village has different customs, but the selection of the day and time is the same, and when the day comes, you have to choose an auspicious time.

Yao Xiangbei carried the iron pot and money box on his back, Yao Sanwa carried the grain on his back, Yao Lan carried her husband on his back, and the whole family went to the new home together.

Yao Xiangbei is very happy today, today is the most exciting day in his life.

He is 37 this year, and he still has a little memory of the time when he fled famine with his parents, and more of the downfall of being kicked out of the house by his elder brother.

He also wanted to stand out and glorify his family, but there were many children in the family, and his wife ran away with others. He had no money, no land, no right to be looked down upon by the villagers, and he felt that he was a little twisted.

The last time his daughter got married, he forced the guests to come, but today's people came voluntarily. To him, the meaning is naturally very different.

The banquet this time is completely different from the last time. Not to mention that the wine and meat are eaten open, but the portion is definitely the first in the village.

His family's mansion, his family's restaurant, his family's guests, his peers called him "Boss Yao" and "Brother Yao", and some of the younger generations were called uncle, uncle, and even grandpa.

The congratulations were both sincere and false, but they were all pleasant to hear. It was completely different from the situation where I wished to close the door and block the bolt immediately when I saw him approaching from a distance.

The wine was water wine, and the concentration was not high. People in the village drank from bowls and toasted with bowls. Yao Xiangbei's face was even redder when he drank it.

The big guy suddenly felt that this drunken red-faced man was still the second child of the Yao family who led them to fight against bandits 16 years ago. The soldiers and horses who survived the government arrived, saving the money and lives of the villagers.

At that time, I didn't know how many people admired him as a hero.

Things are different, and today's Yao Xiangbei seems to have returned to the past.

In short, now that the Yao family has money and life is better, they will be able to harm the village less in the future. After all, it is a great joy.

The Yao family was happy, and so were the people in the village. Many people seldom drank alcohol, and could feel refreshed even with a little wine.

As for someone saying that chef Yao Sanshun is the chef for today's meal, no one believes it at all.

Today, many people saw two strangers at Yao's house, a man and a woman. They heard that they were servants bought from the exile village. If there were servants, who would cook for themselves?

The drinks for guests are given by the shopkeeper in the city. Even if it is water wine, it is not of the same level as that made by the village itself.

The Yao family has picked a good son-in-law and is about to turn over.

Yao Lan didn't talk to shopkeeper Huang about moving. After the last time, she didn't go to Yunshan Restaurant again except for sending wild ginger once more.

But Liu San was introduced to her by shopkeeper Huang. He wanted to know where their house was and when they would move. It was a breeze, so he specially brought drinks to congratulate her today.

It's just that he originally thought that Yao Lan was a good cook, but he didn't expect Yao Sanshun to be the real one.

The good player Yao Sanshun is the kind who pours a glass of wine. At the moment, he is already dizzy before finishing a bowl of wine at the banquet. As for the compliments from shopkeeper Huang and others, they go in the left ear and go out the right ear without thinking.

After the banquet, the wives of the Wu family and several other families asked their children to pack up their own dishes, tables and chairs and take them away. The countrymen borrowed these things from each other for serving wine.
