Super little Shennong

Chapter 576 The woman in charge

"Then how to choose a date?" Liu Qing asked.

Su Li thought about it: "I heard that Uncle Seven will choose a date. But we don't need to worry about it, uncles and aunts will choose."

"How many people are invited for the wedding, and how many tables are set?" Liu Qing asked.

"It depends on your relatives. Our company must have dinner together." Su Li said.

"Let's not have too many people, let's have a water banquet. We have the old rules here, and it also saves money. Don't be so extravagant and wasteful. It's just a water banquet. It's delicious and affordable. Make something messy and see what you can't eat. What to do. We are engaged in agriculture, we have to be realistic." Wu Xie said with a smile.

"But no one can hold such a big banquet now, right?" Su Li was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse. After all, there are too many people, even if it's a dinner party, it's not easy.

Wu Xie shook her head: "Yes, Grandma Li can do it. Don't look at her age, she should be fine. What did she do to learn from Dazhai? When the whole mountain was fought, she took care of the meals of 6 people. Go ask She can do it if she can. If she can’t, hire someone. In addition, it’s better to set up a few tables alone, entertain the leaders and so on. There are not many people, but there must be more on the second brother’s side. Me and Liu Tong... Cough cough, I guess it's not too small. Dozens of tables?"

"Then we have to invite a chef, but the chef of a star hotel may not come." Su Li said.

Gao Zhengsheng chuckled: "This matter is easy to handle, I'll look for it. I have a buddy who runs a hotel, and I'll ask some chefs for help. It's for his face."

Wu Xie frowned: "We don't need to think about these things, right? Our parents..."

"Uncles and aunts said, let's do it ourselves this time, and they will watch. They handed over the power to me." Su Li said.

Wu Xie was startled, and stared at Su Li with wide eyes: "Lili, how powerful are you? Do you know what this means?"

Su Li looked at Wu Xie wonderingly: "Isn't it just making these things up? I wonder if we make things up by ourselves, will we make outsiders laugh at us?"

Gao Zhengsheng has been here for a long time and knows the rules here. He smiled and said, "Joke? It's too late to envy! This is the old Wu family, and the power of the old Wu family's housekeeper has been handed over to you. This kind of thing, here, belongs to the family. Only a big woman, that is, the woman in charge of the family can do it."

Su Li opened her mouth wide in surprise: "No way..."

"Why not, Grandma Li, look at the big and small things in the village, whether it's a large dinner party or a small one, but has she ever been left behind when it comes to eating in the clan? It's not whether she can pull it off, but because she is The woman who is in charge of the village. Usually the man is in charge of things. But this kind of logistical matters are all in his hands. Grandma Li is old, and now Aunt Wang who follows her every day is the woman in charge of our Liushanwa in the future. In the future, if there is any matter in the family, anyone related to our family will have to come to you. This also means that you are already from our Liushanwa." Wu Xie said seriously.

Although Su Li was surprised, she was still very comfortable. After all, being recognized was a good thing.

"But don't be too annoying. There will be a lot of big and small troubles in the future. The owner is less and the Li family is more. Many things here, the cost is not based on the head, but everyone discusses it. Whoever thinks can pay more , Whoever is richer will pay more. They were poor before, but now it is very difficult. But it should be better now." Wu Xie said.

Gao Zhengsheng took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Don't think about it now, basically your family is rich."

Wu Xie smiled: "That's necessary. This is recognized by everyone in the village. It can be regarded as a characteristic of the family. Of course, there are people who don't want it. But basically it's okay."

Su Li nodded: "That's no problem, it won't be a big problem."

"It's a big problem, don't underestimate it. We are rich now, and every household has all these melons and jujubes. If it's too late, just three years ago, the cost of your family reunion, in addition to It is a headache for the part that needs to be shared by individuals. For example, Hu Dade and Uncle Hu, he has to account for [-]/[-] of the proportion every year. Because he is the richest. It is difficult for outsiders to understand, but the villagers accept it. Because of these It doesn’t look like a big thing, but it may make the life of the poor worse. This is a kind of small average and a small way of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. It’s a rule in the clan to take care of each family. Now there is no shortage of money , but the rules still have to be there. Our family must take the biggest head now. Basically, our family has to make a round, and others will take a few dollars. You know this in the future, don’t think about it because of this. In the past, our family That is to say, to take an average, Uncle Quan and Uncle Hu, the two of them get the most. Moreover, in the village, whoever gets the most, the richer families, have to compete. This shows that these families have the ability, This is a matter of face. In the future, the right to speak will also be greater. This is for sure." Wu Xie said.

Su Li nodded: "I see."

Gao Zheng laughed loudly: "Why are you talking about the rules again? Hurry up, it's serious to discuss the matter of marriage."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wu Xie thought about it: "Don't discuss it, it's useless. We don't understand many rules. I don't understand either. Those who really understand this may be the clan elders outside. Here, the clan elders understand, But I won’t tell you. The women in charge take care of it directly. So, the three of you go directly to Grandma Li. I guess Grandma Li is getting old and doesn’t care much anymore. It should be Aunt Wang now. You go to Grandma Li first. See what she means. About this matter, we guys won't go, it's useless to go, people don't greet us. I'll just tell you."

Su Li nodded, looked at Liu Qing and Qi Yun: "Then shall we go in the afternoon?"

Wu Xie looked at the time: "Sit down, we still have something to do, go to the company. The wedding, you just have to work hard for this period. We men can't get involved in this matter, it's all the women themselves Take charge. It stands to reason that the mother of the family should do it. But since my mother has given you the task, you have to run by yourself. This is also a process of learning the rules. "

Su Li nodded earnestly: "Then I will remember, we will go to find Grandma Li in the afternoon. Go and do your work."

Seeing them leaving, Liu Qing looked at Su Li wonderingly: "What kind of rule is this? Why are women busy?"

"I do know a little bit. I heard from my aunt that it was a long time ago that all the men in the family went to war or something. Too many died. There were no elders, and only women were left to support the family. Later, slowly , It’s women who are in charge of these things. In fact, behind this rule, there must be pain. I heard that there were thousands of them at that time, and there were only a few dozen people left in the whole village, and most of them were women.” Su Li was a little sad.

Liu Qing and Qi Yun also turned solemn.

"Oh, girls, I found you." At the restaurant door, Aunt Wang helped Grandma Li come over.
