Chapter 376
At the flowing water table, Li Hui saw Jiang Jianye and Li Qingchun put down their chopsticks after eating enough, so he put them down as well.I had eaten it a long time ago, and I was afraid that they would be constrained, so I kept holding it.

During the dinner, he and Li Qingchun had already finalized the matter of opening a temple to worship ancestors tomorrow morning. At the same time, he also divided the number of acres of free land in his share into [-] per clan.The quantity was consistent with Li Qingchun's guess, so things went smoothly.

The three of them left the yard side by side without returning home, and just wandered around the village.

I haven’t returned to the village for more than half a year, and the village has changed a lot.The houses that were repaired due to the snowstorm were all completed before spring plowing this year.

Seen from a distance, it looks extremely down-to-earth.

Jiang Jianye patted his shoulder with emotion and said:

"If it weren't for your efforts, our village wouldn't be where it is now."

"Looking at what Uncle Jiang said, I didn't do anything. The main reason is that the people in our village are motivated. Brother Qingchun also plays a major role. The whole clan relies on him to be at the helm."

Li Qingchun, who suddenly took off the cue, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, not daring to take credit.

"Don't praise me like that. If Uncle Jiang hadn't stood in front of me, the clan wouldn't be able to control what it is now."

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.Those clan elders who had been dismissed in the early stage made a lot of noise after Li Hui left the village.Jiang Jianye said "Hey" and smiled without saying a word.There is still a limit to what he can do, and he still needs Li Qingchun's thunderous power.

People started to gather at the entrance of the village. They must have received the news and came to eat on the flowing water table. This is the case in all places, and it is an old tradition.

The cost of this day is not only 80 taels of silver, but also 50 taels. After all, meat and fish are hard goods.Although I could collect some eggs, woolen cloth, etc., they were nothing compared to the Li family's return gifts.In short, the purpose of the Li family is very clear. It is to focus on one thing and not take advantage of others.

Time flies so fast, and the sun sets in the blink of an eye. Candles have been lit in the west of the village. From a distance, you can see the smoke and fairy spirit floating in the air.

Li Hui and Li Qingchun sent Jiang Jianye home and went to the ancestral hall to do what they could in advance so that they could leave early tomorrow.

"Huizi, you can check the accounts first, and then you can name all the children in the clan who are over seven years old. I will trace the tablets later, and you can drag them in and rest. Tomorrow you have to visit the graves of uncle and the others."

"Sure." Li Hui agreed, picked up the account book and looked through it.

The account books that can be given to him must be clean and have no problems, but he also believes that Li Qingchun will not have other thoughts at present.

I randomly selected five account books, and after reading them, I got up to get the genealogy and prepared to fill in my names.

"Hui...Huizi doesn't want to look at it anymore?"

"I don't want to read it anymore. It's no problem. It seems like a waste of time. I'm anxious to go home and lie down for a while. I've been busy since I left home early in the morning. I'm really tired."

Li Qingchun pursed his lips tightly and said "Ah" in frustration.

He didn't have a penny from the greedy clan, but he started lighting lamps and boiling oil a month in advance to do the accounting. People would stop looking at it after a long time, which made him feel... really uncomfortable.

After filling in the names of the seven children, Li Hui stretched his waist and said:
"Brother Qingchun, I'm leaving. I won't come here tomorrow morning after burning the incense. We'll set off early the day after tomorrow. You should be busy with the autumn harvest and don't pay attention to us."

The implication is, after burning the incense tomorrow morning, don’t look for him again.Li Qingchun didn't insist and sent him out of the ancestral hall with a smile.That's all, even if you invite him to your house for dinner, at most you'll just pay lip service to him and won't come over.It doesn't matter if he keeps a distance, he doesn't covet other people's things, and he can keep his back straight when doing things.

He couldn't do what Li Fang did, licking his face to ask for something.

As soon as he walked out of the ancestral hall, Shunxi came over, bowed his hands and said:

"Master, Tiandong is back."

Li Hui nodded when he heard this and asked as he walked:
"How are the two children doing? Are they all okay?"

"Sir, Jia Ning is fine. Jia An's face looks bad. My wife checked his pulse and said he is weak and should not be tired from traveling." As he was talking, he went home and saw Yu Niang coming from behind, so he simply said Stop and wait for her.

Jade Lady walked up to her, bowed her knees and saluted——

"master."

"Where's Madame?"

"Back to the master, my wife is in Songhe Courtyard talking to my uncle and his wife."

"You can help take care of the two children Tiandong brought back. They won't come with us this time."

"Yes."

After explaining, Li Hui strode towards Songhe Courtyard.As soon as he entered the house, he saw Cheng Xue sitting on the kang with Yu Huai and his wife. None of the children were there, not even the two brothers Yu Zhao and Yu Hao.

"What are you doing? What happened?"

"What happened? Can't we hope for something better?" Cheng Xue smiled and shook her head, "My uncle and aunt and I are planning my sister's wedding."

"Sister-in-law is looking for you so soon?"

Li Hui's words made all three people in the room stunned. Then Liu came back to his senses and said:
"Why, Zhuzhu's dad is looking for you too?"

"They were looking for me last night, but I didn't get involved. After all, my cousin's marriage has to be decided by my uncle and aunt."

After speaking, Li Hui sat down next to Cheng Xue, and his big hands naturally hugged her slender waist.I didn't get a chance to be alone all day long, so going back to the village was even busier than traveling.

"Uncle, what do you and aunt think of this marriage? I think it's okay. Dong Cheng knows everything, and Zhu Zhu is stable and down-to-earth. The third brother said, let's get engaged first. I know you want to keep my sister Wan for a few more years. , everyone has taken it into consideration.”

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed when she heard what her nephew said.She turned to look at her husband and saw that he still had a gloomy face, so he did not let go and said:
"I will discuss it with your uncle tonight. If possible, we can settle the matter while you are at home. If not, you can also help us say a word and we will not show up."

"Okay, let's talk with uncle and aunt first, then we'll go back."

When Yu Huai heard this, he hurriedly said:
"What? Don't you want to sit down for a while?"

"No, I'm a little tired, go back and lie down." Li Hui declined the old man's invitation.

After a day of hard work, he had an idea at the moment: take a bath, get on the kang, and hug his wife.

When Cheng Xue saw this, she also went to the ground to put on her shoes. She smiled at Yu Huai and said:
"Uncle, the issue of inferiority is nothing, let's discuss it on its own. Every village has this situation. Zhu Zhu is considered a promising young man in the village, so he can be considered. Besides, Yu Zhao's family is also here, and he has a biological eldest brother to help her. Support me, Sister Wan will definitely not be bullied."

After saying that, without waiting for the old man to reply, he took Li Hui's arm and went out.

The two elders kept their original sitting posture, and it took a while before Yu Huai spoke:
"Daughter-in-law, do you think this marriage is okay?"

Mrs. Liu nodded without thinking and said:

"I think it's okay. The seniority you are worried about...just like Xue Niang said, everyone has their own opinion. We know the Dong family very well. You also know what Dong Cheng thinks of our Huizi. Can someone take the initiative to mention getting engaged first? Doing things two years later is not trying to pick someone up. We don't rely on our daughter to make money. We just need to find a young person with a well-off family and a down-to-earth person so that she can live a peaceful life."

Although Yu Huai didn't speak, Mrs. Liu knew that they were loose after being married for many years...
