Chapter 83

Not long after Mrs. Lu left, many people came outside the courtyard.

He talked in a hurry, and the general meaning was that this year the patriarch was sick and couldn't write couplets, so let them come here.

It was expected, but Cheng Xue felt very uncomfortable.Being bound by the laws and family rules of Daozao, I really want to scold the street every minute.

Take a deep breath, adjust your mentality, and say:
"Thank you for trusting Huizi, but the couplets and the father and son need to be written one by one. He doesn't have enough hands, so each person can only order one set. The salary remains the same, five eggs, one couplet, and two blessings. .”

Most people can accept it, but there are always those who are out of the way (out of gregarious), such as Li Fang's younger brother and Lu's man - Li Nan.

"Tie Danniang, in the past, my brother could write as much as he wanted, why are there so many things at your house? My brother has been writing the couplets these years, and it's your turn this year, Huizi, right? Don't know how to report the favor?"

Yo, how dare you say it!
Cheng Xue chuckled, looked at him calmly and said:

"Uncle Nan, please help me out. What do you mean it's Huizi's turn to write couplets? What do you mean Huizi should know how to repay his kindness? You haven't looked for him all these years, and now the patriarch can't write. Hula, come here. Hui A son is a man, not an animal, he has to eat, rest, and go to the latrine."

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?" Cheng Xue didn't give him a chance to refute, "You also said that in previous years, you always asked the patriarch to write. Then in previous years, did you ask the patriarch to make couplets on the last day of the year? Ah——"

Now Li Nan was completely speechless.

On weekdays, relying on his elder brother as the patriarch, he always put on airs in the clan.Everyone knows that he is a fox and pretends to be a tiger, so it's not uncommon for him to talk to him.

Now being tough from the front, he is instantly honest.

"Uncle Nan, I originally planned to save face for you, but you don't want it, so don't blame me for speaking badly. Just now my aunt came and said that the patriarch asked Huizi to give half of the eggs earned by writing couplets to the clan."

"Ah, why, shouldn't it be?"

"Then I want to ask Uncle Nan, did the patriarch pay it before?" Cheng Xue asked.

"Pay it in, why didn't you pay it in, it's all handed in!"

"Okay! Everyone heard it. Uncle Nan said that the patriarch paid it. Then I want to see the account book. As long as it is in the account book, I will not say anything about handing over the eggs. If not, what do you think, Uncle Nan?"

Cheng Xue's step-by-step guidance finally made Li Nan shoot himself in the foot.The decision to ask for half of the eggs was made by him, but Li Qingnian ignored it, so he "falsified the imperial decree".

Now I really want to make a fuss... No, I can't make a fuss!

"Huizi's daughter-in-law, you want to rebel?! Who are you? You still look at the clan's account books. I'm not qualified to look at them. Do you want to? I'm—"

Li Nan's suddenly raised voice startled everyone.

Li Wangdeng saw the situation clearly and pretended to be impatient and said:

"Uncle Nan, why are you messing around here and delaying us all? If the patriarch said earlier that he would not write this year, we would have come here a long time ago. Do we still have to wait until now to embarrass Huizi and his wife?"

When he opened his mouth, several clansmen were not calm and complained——

"That's right, it's unreliable to do things day by day, and it's more active than anyone else to ask for family food."

"It's not that bad. Why does Li Hui's sister-in-law have no right to read the account books? All members of the Li clan have the right to read the account books. This is the rule of our Liang Yan Dynasty."

"Uncle Nan, it's Huizi's freedom to write more couplets and less couplets. Even if you don't write any of them, you can just watch! He has already done a good job, so don't pretend to be confused."

"Zhengzi's words are right, remember when we went to the patriarch to write couplets, Li Qingnian's [-] yuan, you don't forget it!
In terms of repaying gratitude, Li Hui has produced firecrackers in the clan these years; Li Hui has handed in the clan food;Where did all the money in the clan go? "

The person who said this was Li Laosan's nephew - Li Qingyu.

He suddenly dug up the old account, which immediately attracted many people to question it.There must be trust in it, but there are also truly awakened clansmen.

Li Nan saw that he couldn't handle the matter, so he said "unreasonable" and turned around and ran away.Everyone could see that he had fled in despair, but the couplet was about to be arranged, and no one had time to talk to him.

"Sister-in-law Li Hui, I ordered a set for my family. You can write whatever you want, and you don't have to pick anything. Just post a picture of the door to celebrate."

"That's right, brother and sister. My family also ordered a set. You can write whatever you want. Please trouble Huizi."

"my home……"

"..."

After Cheng Xue wrote down the name of the person to be appointed, she handed:
"Go home and wait. If you don't deliver it at night, come and pick it up tomorrow morning."

After thanking everyone, they left one after another. Cheng Xue closed the courtyard door and went back to the study.

For the written couplets, Cheng Xue matched them with two characters of blessing, tied them with hemp rope, and put them in the basket.

Li Qingshan and the others had already delivered the eggs, so let Li Heng run errands to deliver them to them first.

After a stick of incense, Li Heng came back, and Cheng Xue gave him a few pieces of candy.They are all caramel candies bought from Fucheng, soft and sweet.

"Son, you send the two older ones to the third grandfather, and say they belong to the ethnology and ancestral hall."

"Okay." Li Heng has everything he needs, so he picks it up and runs away.

He thought very simply, thinking that he would send it to the patriarch's house, and his mother was worried that he would fight with Li Wanshan.

Taking advantage of the convenience of Yan Yixin's going out, Li Hui smiled lightly and said:
"Are you instigating now?"

"Wrong, they have already started to take action." Cheng Xue defended herself, "Anyway, the other side will have to be exposed in the spring of the next year. Li Laosan will make progress slowly, and it will be a matter of course, once and for all. I just don't know if he will change if he becomes the patriarch. .”

After all, Li Laosan's character is also average.

"Don't worry, he's timid and won't kill himself for money."

If it wasn't for Li Xiang's sudden disappearance, Li Fang would probably have been arrested right now.

It can only be said that good things take time, and the more you grind, the better.

The couplets and blessing characters were written until the second quarter of Haishi. Cheng Xue cooked some dumplings for them, washed up after eating, and went back to their respective houses.

When Li Hui entered the room, seeing Cheng Xue was still lying down, he walked up to her and said:
"Cupping for me, my shoulders and neck are too uncomfortable."

"Shall I give you two needles?"

"Farewell, just cupping." Li Hui declined.

He didn't feel dizzy from the needle, but the needle felt painful and itchy, and he didn't want to try it again.

Cheng Xue went to the ground to prepare things, Li Hui took off his shirt, lay down on the kang and waited obediently.

According to the acupuncture points, five restaurants were pulled out in a row.Cheng Xue blew out the fire extinguisher, lowered her voice and said:

"I plan to go to the county to eat fine grains, your health is important."

After the tenth day, they had to leave. Xiao Qinglin helped find a teacher, and classes started on the seventeenth day.In mid-February is the hospital exam, and the time is tight.

Li Hui nodded, and also whispered:
"Qinglin came over in the third year of junior high school, and asked Bairui to help make two trips. In the second day of junior high school, we had to come back after eating at uncle's house, so we couldn't stay."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Cheng Xue said while shaking the jar.

This is to add more strength to the can, and it will be very comfortable when waiting to pick up the can...
