Chapter 375
The Kang table in the house is filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries and preserves that are pleasing to the eye.

Cheng Xue was pouring tea. When she saw them coming in, she hurriedly waved and said:
"Come here, sit down, drink some tea, and relieve your tiredness. How is the banquet? Are you enjoying the food?"

"It's so enjoyable, so enjoyable." Mrs. Xu said as she took off her shoes and got on the kang, "Actually, just prepare tea. I can't eat these snacks and preserves at all."

"Yes, Tiedan Niang, we won't pretend to you, we are full." Yang said and patted his belly, as if to confirm that he had eaten well.

"It's not that good. I only heard about and never had the opportunity to see the Erba big meat banquet before. Now I not only see it, but also eat it. Thinking about it, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Seeing what Xu said, Cheng Xue smiled, pinched the back of her hand, and asked jokingly:

"Does it hurt? Are you dreaming?"

Xu, who was in pain, withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"You are so annoying. You have eaten so much meat and fish. How could this be a dream! I just said that. Listen to me, why are you pinching me?"

"Look, you really don't understand good people. I'm here to help you make sure." Cheng Xue continued to joke.

"Are you making sure for me? You just want to pinch me, and you are blushing." Xu refused.

Ever since they got married one after another, there has never been such a fuss as now.Xu missed it, and Cheng Xue also found it interesting.No matter what the current status of the Li family is, they can be arrogant to outsiders, but they must not forget their roots when facing the people who once provided help in times of need.

Yang, who was watching the show on the side, chuckled lightly and said to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, I was thinking all kinds of things when we were separated. We finally got together to chat, and we got into each other again? Let's seize the time to chat, and let Tiedan Niang have a good rest later. They have to go on their way after resting."

After her reminder, Mrs. Xu stopped making trouble, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said:

"After receiving the news that Huizi was going to take office in the north, I and my mother, as well as Dake's sister-in-law, Shanzi's wife, fourth brother and sister-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, etc., rushed to make cotton-padded clothes, sun-dried vegetables, and sun-dried vegetables for you. Ura grass. It’s cold over there, so don’t be careless about keeping warm, otherwise you’ll suffer when you get old.”

"Yes, Tiedan Niang, don't dislike it, this is all from our heart. I gave you fifty kilograms of fungus alone, not counting other people's."

"I have thirty kilograms of it, but there are a lot of sun-dried hazelnut mushrooms, as well as dried potatoes, shredded beans and so on. You can eat it over there. If you don't have enough left at home, I will get it for you. I won't be able to harvest the vegetables this year. Not much."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you. Yu Niang and aunt have limited preparations. You can bring me whatever you have. If you can't finish it, I will ask people to exchange it for leather goods in the north. Then we will share it equally. The north Although the Qi people are rough and good at fighting, their leather goods are still very good." Cheng Xue agreed.

Now that they have decided to go into officialdom, they will not take the people's efforts one by one, and they will not take the people's bricks and tiles. This is the bottom line they must stick to.

"Yes, yes, the leather goods over there are very good, and we are not polite to you. Then I will give you all the ones at home, and you can help change the leather."

"And me, and me."

They both demanded it.They have been together for a long time and understand each other well. No one likes to take advantage of others. They just appreciate it if others make other arrangements.Otherwise these things cannot be sent out.

The exchange of leather goods aroused the topic, and soon the two of them talked about the events in the village for more than half a year in detail.Many of them were just a rough idea at Yu Niang's place, but now they are pieced together, but they are now completely put together. "...Generally speaking, everything is fine in the village, except for those scheming and annoying ones in your clan. But don't worry, Li Qingchun has warned them. I don't think anyone will dare to fool around in front of you and your wife."

There is a saying that "a dog can't change its habit." If you want people to change their habits, it can't be done in a day or two, or in a year or two.

Cheng Xue understood this truth, smiled and played with the teacup in her hand, and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, the few fresh faces in my family were all rewarded by the Imperial Household Office, and they all have unique skills. They can come if they dare, it just depends on whether they can resist the beating."

"Oh, it's a gift from the palace? Hui Zi really has face!" Yang said sincerely.

Mrs. Xu couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear with joy after hearing this, thinking about what she would say when she went out.It's best to say something sinister so that those people don't dare to come forward.I just stayed in the village for three days. I was so busy with my family that I had no time to pay attention to them.

The three of them chatted for a long time. Xu suddenly looked at Cheng Xue seriously and said:

"Hey, how about being a matchmaker?"

"What? Do you want me to help with matchmaking?"

"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded, smiled and said, "What do you think of my pillars? Although he is not as good as Dake's sister-in-law's nianzi, he does the accounting carefully. Now he does all the accounts compiled by the workshops on both sides. Just now. My salary has been increased to [-] cash per month, and my family still has land, so the young couple will definitely have no problem living."

"I can't tell you the conditions, but whose daughter are you talking about?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.

It's definitely not my two daughters, I still have this little bit of confidence.As for the woman in the village, it seems that no matchmaker can find her.Seeing Mrs. Xu's deflated appearance, an idea suddenly occurred to her. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Are you sure? We need a backup!"

Yang couldn't help laughing, chuckled, and said:
"If it weren't for her seniority, she would have found someone to mention it. How can she wait for you to come back? I mentioned it to you just to see your attitude."

Xu, who was told the central issue, immediately lowered his head and gave an awkward "hmm" as confirmation.

Although Yu Wan is of the same generation as Cheng Xue, she is Yu Huai's daughter, only two years older than Li Yue.We are only one year apart from Zhu Zhu, so this is the best marriage choice after much thought.With the lessons learned from her two sisters-in-law, she did not dare to be careless or unthinking.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xue. If Zhuzi and Sister Wan get married, we will build a house immediately. I promise you that in the future, Sister Wan will control Zhuzhu's wages, and we don't want it. When Shuanzi grows up and separates the family, the family will I will divide it equally into three parts and never let any child lose."

"Yes, Tiedan Niang, their house was bought together with us, so we built it as soon as we were told."

Seeing Yang's help again, Cheng Xue smiled and waved her hands and said:
"Don't worry, I won't stop the marriage of the two children because of seniority issues. But I can't guarantee this. After all, it depends on Sister Wan's own wishes, as well as the thoughts of my uncle and aunt. Not to mention Sister Wan and Ji It will take another year, and based on my understanding of my uncle and aunt, I estimate that I will have to keep her for another two years."

"That's okay, let's wait. Don't say stay for two years, just stay for four years. Help me ask Aunt Yu to see what she means."

Okay, now I’ve changed my tune!
