On this day, as soon as the sun rose, people in the village rushed to Jiang's house.

The Jiang family did not specially invite anyone to the banquet. Anyone from the village could come, and there was no need for gifts, just come and join in the fun.

Anyone who has worked in the Jiang family knows that her family is the most generous in preparing food. It does not necessarily include meat and vegetables, but the dry rice will definitely satisfy you.

So most of the people in the village arrived at Jiang's house early and helped out, preparing food, borrowing tables, chairs and benches from the neighbors...

"My God, the Jiang family's new house looks even better than the houses of wealthy families in the town!"

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village entered the Jiang family's new house, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

"Such a big house, with so many walls in front and back, the total number of bricks is probably 20,000 to 30,000, how much money does it cost..."

"Tsk tsk, look at her yard. The ground is paved with tiles. It's really luxurious. Other houses have dirt yards."

"You haven't seen that her yard is not only big, but the kitchen is also big, and there is also a special place for eating." The women who went to help in the kitchen couldn't help but show off, "I don't know what the tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets are. It was made by some skilled carpenter in the town, it looks great!"

"I just went to the backyard to take a look. There are also latrines and bathhouses. The Jiang family is really particular about people, and they even built this thing specially..."

The group of people sighed and went to visit the upper room.

Once inside, I was shocked again.

The orientation of the upper room is the same as that of the main house. It also faces north and south. The door faces south and has plenty of light. There are panes on both sides of the door and they are wooden windows.

Sunlight shines in from the window and shines on the wall. The light is reflected through the white wall, making the room bright and spacious.

Everyone was amazed that this house was painted inside and out!
Raw lacquer is a milky white colloidal liquid harvested from knee-length trees. It is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, acid-resistant, and heat-resistant. It can make the wall shiny and is naturally expensive.

But painting walls with raw paint is too luxurious, and generally only wealthy families can afford it.

Most of the houses in the village use yellow mud, water and straw to make adobe walls. This kind of adobe wall is not very strong. When there is heavy snow or storm, the house may not be able to hold up and needs to be repaired frequently.

"Tsk tsk, if my family were rich, they would build a big blue brick house like hers."

A group of people looked at the new house and couldn't help but be envious.

Li Dayong's daughter-in-law was crowded in the crowd, her eyes couldn't stop looking at each other, the envy and jealousy in her eyes almost overflowed, and the words in her mouth were sour:

"This Jiang family was able to build such a nice new house because he was lucky. He made money from Nao Shizi's ice cream. If I could make this ice cream, I would definitely be able to build such a new house..."

Everyone listened to her sour words and didn't say anything.

It is common knowledge that the Jiang family made a fortune from the ice cream business, and there were many people in the village who had tried to imitate the ice cream, but without exception, they all failed, and those people gave up their efforts.

"Hey, I'm talking about Dayong's daughter-in-law. As for your ability, you can make ice cream, so don't laugh out loud!" The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family laughed, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside her and said, "I'm talking about you, big guy. Don't be stunned, go to the yard to wash your hands and get ready to eat, don't have leftovers and blame Xiao Xiaoniang for not treating her well."

"Go right now, go right now."

Hearing that dinner had already been served, a group of people didn't bother to visit the new house and hurried out of the upper room.

The yard was full of people. There were many people from the village. The yards of the new and old houses were filled with tables and chairs. It was very lively. The dishes on the table are also rich, such as mapo tofu, wild vegetable egg pancakes, cabbage and pork stew... At a glance, they are shiny and make people want to eat.

Some adults and children who often don't have enough to eat at home start eating like wolves as soon as the food is put on the table, showing no image at all.

There are also people who are concerned about their face and can still maintain a certain politeness at the dinner table, but they are impressed by the delicious food after just a few bites and can't help but gorge themselves on it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother sat at the main table, accepting congratulations from the villagers.

Everyone's faces were full of joy and they sent sincere congratulations to the Jiang family.

"Hey, I think back then Xiaoxiao was just a little girl with a sallow face and skinny muscles. She didn't even have any clothes to wear. Look how white and fair her face is now. She has put on some fat."

Many people couldn't help but sigh when they saw the cleanly dressed Jiang Xiaoxiao, "The mother and daughter have finally had their hard work. Now they have built a big brick house with tiles. Good times are still to come..."

Facing the compliments from everyone, Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing.

Today was a happy day for her family to move, and since the weather was getting colder after autumn, she specially wore an apricot-colored satin autumn sweater.

This dress has two layers, the inner layer is a white silk lining, and the outer layer is an apricot-colored outer layer. The material is fine cotton or satin, and the collar is also embroidered with exquisite embroidery. It looks very good-looking and is comfortable to wear. Very comfortable.

These days, only the clothes of rich people have embroidered dark patterns on them. The clothes of poor people are cut from a piece of coarse cloth. When they are frayed, they get some rags and mend them. A piece of clothing is often mended and worn for several years. , the eldest brother wore the second one, and it was not only full of patches, but also turned white after washing, which didn’t look good.

Some children at the dinner table looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao's new clothes with envy, then looked at Jiang Wei next to them, and sighed that it would be great if Jiang Wei was their own mother...

At this moment, a group of people broke into Jiang's yard in a furious manner.

"Hey, I asked why the village is so lively. It turns out that my sweet granddaughter's house is hosting the banquet. Why didn't anyone notify me, my dear grandma, on such a big day?"

The high-pitched high-pitched sound makes people feel uncomfortable.

Everyone looked around and saw that it was someone from Lao Li's family!

Jiang Xiaoxiao's good mood suddenly disappeared when she saw Mrs. Li's sharp and mean face.

Although her family had no restrictions on which family could not come to the banquet, the feud between her family and Lao Li's family was obvious. She thought that if Lao Li's family had any respect, they would not come.

But she didn't expect... She still underestimated the shamelessness of the old Li family.

Jiang Wei stood up and said without any mercy: "The Li family is not welcome here, please leave."

"My third daughter-in-law..." Mr. Li didn't have the shamelessness of Mrs. Li, so he could only push Li Shoude out from behind him, "You used to be considered a member of our Li family, but Shoude has now passed the exam and is a scholar. I just wanted to take advantage of this happy day to let you know..."

"My Jiang family has severed ties with your Li family a long time ago. Even if your son becomes a county master, he has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Wei said coldly without mercy.

Hearing this, Mr. Li's face suddenly became embarrassed.

He specially brought Li Shoude here today. In addition to showing off to the villagers that his son had passed the examination, he also wanted to take advantage of the Jiang family.

Li Shoude is no different now than before. He is the only person in the village who has passed the scholar examination. He thought that because Li Shoude was a scholar, Jiang Wei would at least give him some face, but he did not expect that the other party would not appreciate it at all.
