Chapter 478
Xia Mingfu knelt in the ancestral hall, and babbled a lot to the ancestors of the Xia family. When it came to the emotional part, he almost burst into tears, but Qing Zhu was a little at a loss.

After a while, Xia Zhengyuan came in, and after burning a stick of incense, he looked at Xia Mingfu and the others and said, "Third Uncle, Qingzhu, Qingshan, let's all go out, everyone is waiting for dinner, or the food will be cold soon." .”

"Well, let's go, Qingzhu Qingshan, you must be hungry, blame the third uncle, this man is old, he just talks about everything, always wants to tell the ancestors, don't laugh at the third uncle " Xia Mingfu stood up from the futon, looked at the green bamboo and green shirt and said.

"Don't dare, third uncle is also happy, we all understand."

The green bamboo and the green shirt shook their heads together, and while talking, helped Xia Mingfu out from left to right.

When he got outside, Xia Mingfu actually said that he wanted Qing Zhu to sit at the top of the chief seat, and he frightened Qing Zhu severely, shaking his head like a rattle, and said: "Third Uncle, don't do this, there are so many elders, you Letting me come to this ancestral hall is already an exception."

"I'm young, how can I be able to sit in the first place? If you want to sit, you still have to sit. Your old man is highly respected. You don't need to worry about the things in this clan. Don't worry about us. junior."

Xia Mingfu said: "Now, your status is different. You are a member of the imperial court. Now in our place, you are the biggest. Sit down, don't be embarrassed."

Qingzhu naturally evaded again and again.

Seeing Qingzhu's firm attitude, Xia Mingfu asked the county magistrate Lu Jinfu to be the chief, but Lu Jinfu also politely declined with a quick shake of his head and hands.Just kidding, neither the Lord Renhui nor Lord Xia dared to sit down, even if he was the chief official of Yongning County, he would not dare to make a mistake.

In the end, it was Xia Mingfu who took the first seat, and a clan elder took the second seat. Lu Jinfu and another clan elder took the first seat. The green bamboo and green shirt sat on the left side, and Xia Zhengyuan and another clan elder sat on the right side. , the chief position can be regarded as settled.

After the chief is seated, there are two second tables.

The seating for the second seats was simple. One of the tables was for several other elderly people in the village. Everyone sat in accordance with their seniority and age, and they didn't give way.

At the other table, the guards who brought Qingzhu back were directly invited to sit, and even because they couldn't sit down, a bench was added for them.Just because what Qingzhu said before, these guards are all officials, so they dare not neglect them no matter what.

The chief and second seats in the courtyard of the ancestral hall all sat down, and then someone called everyone to sit down in the dam outside.

Qingzhu has never seen Qi Shugong Xia Mingfu since she came back, before she picked up the chopsticks, she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Third Uncle, why don't you see Qi Uncle?"

Xia Mingfu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "Let's eat first, if there is anything else, let's talk about it later."

"Oh." Qingzhu knew that he had said the wrong thing, a little panicked, nodded cautiously, and responded.

Xia Mingfu patted Qingzhu's arm, then picked up a piece of stewed meat that was solemnly placed on the table with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and ate it, and then said: "Everyone, let's eat."

After hearing his words again, no matter the person in the chief seat or the second seat, they all picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Of course, it's the same outside.

This is the rule, the chief person does not move his chopsticks, and no one else can.

Apart from the green shirts and green bamboos and Lu Mingfu, the people sitting above the chief are all people with status and reputation in the village. Everyone is more reserved when eating, and the people on the second seat are a bit turbulent. posture.

At the table of the elders in the village, everyone has similar identities, and their family backgrounds are actually very ordinary. They are not the kind of people who can talk and have a lot of face on weekdays, so everyone is too lazy to be polite, and first fish for themselves. Let's talk about some good stuff.

As for the table of the guards, everyone used to eat fast when they were in the army, but now they basically haven't changed that habit, so they eat very fast, almost by grabbing.Of course, after grabbing and grabbing, they always eat what they get, and they are not picky at all.

Inside the dam outside, it was a different scene.

The men are okay, sitting together, we all ate for a while, and then chatted about the things in the field, while eating vegetables and meals slowly.

As for the children, they were playing and fighting, grabbing those big meat slices, and they had a great time grabbing them.

But women are different.They all brought out their bowls, and when they could move their chopsticks, the first thing they did was to share all the meat, pork liver, etc. that could be seen on the table, as long as they were considered meaty. , Divided up everything, and put it all in the bowl I brought.

At the end, when there was no piece of meat left, everyone brought white rice and ate with the vegetables left on the table.

This is the most common sight during feasts in Xiajia Village and many farmhouses. These women want to save the meat and take it home, and then feed it to the elderly, children, and men in the family.

Although they also want to eat meat, they still think that the elderly, children and men are more important. They eat some dishes with oil and meat, and the dry rice steamed with white rice, which is also very good.

After all, even during the busy farming season, everyone can cook at most two dry meals at home, not to mention meat, even stir-fried vegetables, which rarely use oil.

Looking back at the ancestral hall, although the people sitting on the chief seat are much more reserved, everyone's chopsticks also have eyes, and they stretch out onto the big meat slices.

Qingzhu's chopsticks also have eyes, but her chopsticks are not aimed at the meat dishes on the table, but on the vegetable dishes which can be said to be very few.

The people at the same table except Qingshan knew Qingzhu, so they didn't open their mouths, and Lu Jinfu felt that he was a guest, so he was embarrassed to speak. Everyone else urged Qingzhu to eat more, and they even directly put the big meat slices Go to the green bamboo bowl, let the green bamboo eat quickly, eat more, the green bamboo wants to frown.

Of course, it doesn't mean that she dislikes these elders who drool on her vegetables, although she doesn't like it very much, but dislike is not enough, just looking at those fatty slices of fat meat, it is really unbearable go down.

Seeing Qingzhu, who was obviously very conflicted but not easy to wear on her face, she could only thank her with a 'forced smile' while suppressing her boredom to eat those fat slices, the green shirt could only give her a sympathy mark. Helpless expression.
