Chapter 793 The banquet begins

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the banquet officially began.

The dishes are served like flowing water, and they are richer than Chinese New Year. There are chicken, duck, fish, and meat. They are all home-cooked dishes in the countryside, and they are full of the taste of home.

These dishes are made by the villagers, and they are a part of their hearts. For them, today is an even more important day than the Chinese New Year.

The old patriarch first raised his wine glass and said to Li Xiucai, "Sir, the children in the village will trouble you from now on. If they are disobedient, you can beat and scold them."

Li Xiucai quickly picked up his wine glass, "The old patriarch is serious, I will do my best to teach the children well."

Li Zheng followed closely behind and also toasted a glass of wine, and then it was Li Shou.

He raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "The children in the village are honest and ignorant, so I will trouble the husband to worry about it in the future. We don't want the children to have a lot of future, as long as they can read a few words, the governor is sensible, and they will do well." Just someone who understands."

Most people study for the purpose of taking the imperial examinations and career. This is the first time for Li Xiucai to hear such an unambitious reason for studying, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Li Shou had clinked glasses with him on his own, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Then, one after another, villagers came to the main table to toast Li Xiucai.

He doesn't have the airs of a scholar, he always refuses anyone, no matter who comes to toast, he will drink a full glass.

The villagers felt that this gentleman was easy to get along with without putting on airs, and toasted more often, and the scene was very lively.

Not long after, Li Xiucai blushed from drinking. The old patriarch saw that he was a little overwhelmed, and when the juniors came to toast, he smiled and scolded, "Go, go, come back later, let the gentleman eat a few mouthfuls of food, and put the bar on the table." Let's talk about it later."

The villagers were not annoyed, and turned to toast to Li Zheng, Li Shou and the others, as if they would not stop getting drunk.

A feast that lasts until the sun goes down.

Li Xiucai also managed to get himself drunk. Fortunately, the small courtyard has been tidied up and can be occupied at any time.

They had just returned to the small courtyard when someone brought over hangover soup and hot water, very thoughtful and appropriate.

Pan shook her drunken husband awake, poured him sober soup, and wiped his face and body with a hot towel.

"I think the people in this village are very kind and easy to get along with. We really met a noble person this time, and we got lucky.

You have to work hard and secure this job. "

Li Xiucai was very drunk, and I don't know if I heard it, but he kept muttering, "I want to be a good teacher, I want to teach the children well, I want to be a good teacher, and I can't live up to everyone's love... "

Sitting on the kang, Li Bingnian looked at the room curiously, touching here and there.

"Mother, this room is really clean, the quilt is soft, and there is a scent, it smells really good. I like it here."

Pan patted his little head lovingly, "Well, Mother likes this place too, and this will be our new home from now on."

Li Bingnian happily jumped up and down on the kang, "Really? Great! We have a new house to live in."

That night, the family of three lived in this strange small courtyard, but they slept very comfortably and had sweet dreams.

The next day, Li Shou drove them back to the rental house in the county to pack their things in a special carriage, and then the family of three officially moved to Lijia Village with their luggage.
