Mrs. Sun hurriedly said: "No matter what other people think, since you said 'congratulations', you have to listen carefully. You can't make a mistake in saving face, otherwise others will say it even more! Call us frivolous! A Ming It’s hard to get a scholar with a bright future. I don’t know how many people are jealous. Our family has no foundation in this village. If we accidentally offend someone and ask them to say something nasty, it will damage Amin’s life. Bad reputation!"
"I know, don't worry, am I such a stupid person? As long as you know it in your heart, of course you can't make mistakes in face!" Sun Changxing said with a smile: "I also want to remind you, it's best if you know!"
"That's good!" Sun was relieved, and gave Sun Changxing another look: "How can I not know? As long as it is for the good of Ah Ming, I will think about everything!"
Sun Changxing smiled, then sneered slightly as he spoke, and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Knowing about our family's situation, many people are still trying to make a fuss and clamoring for us to treat guests to a big feast, saying that this is a big deal For a happy event, the table must be at least eight cold and eight hot, and there must be chicken and fish!"
Both chicken and fish are needed, so of course pork is a must.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Sun's heart sank, her body stiffened slightly, and she sighed softly for a moment: "Others said that...it's actually true. Isn't this a great happy event? It's time to treat someone to eat Decent table! Alas, let's take it as a waste of money and eliminate disasters!"
The connotation of "breaking money and eliminating disasters" is well known to the couple who have been carefully living in Dafang Village. It is nothing more than some people think that a son of an immigrant family who is so poor that they can't be poorer is more promising than their sons. ? If you don't spend money well and treat everyone to a meal, no one will feel comfortable! It would be best to spend all their savings on this meal! You can't ask them to take up all the good things, and you can't bear to spend this little money!
This sounds very unreasonable, and the logic is also very strange, but many people who are unbalanced think so of course!
"Why don't I know the truth!" Sun Changxing sighed, and said, "I probably figured it out, there must be at least twenty tables, there are chickens and fish, let's count twelve dishes for one table, at least we must Three renminbi silver, at least six taels for a table of twenty, this is not counting the red envelopes for helpers, asking people to help chop firewood, buying some melon seeds and peanut snacks for children, renting bowls and chopsticks, buying rice, etc. It will take more than seven taels to come down! My son will be back in two days, and after the banquet in the village is over, my son has to go to the academy to thank Mr., and classmates will also gather together... "
Money is needed everywhere!
The couple couldn't help worrying.
You know, all their belongings are only a little over six taels!
In the end, Mrs. Sun came up with an idea, frowned lightly, and said with a smile: "How about we ask Miss Lian to advance a month's wages? This is almost the same!"
Sun Changxing's eyes also lit up, and when he was about to say yes, he didn't know what he thought of, he hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This... let's think about other ways first! Otherwise, I will go to Xianteng Mountain in the next two days. Get lucky!"
Sun said angrily: "Isn't it the same as borrowing from Miss Lian? Miss Lian will definitely agree, so why bother!"
"What do you know, woman!" Sun Changxing hummed softly, but did not explain.
Mrs. Sun refused to accept it, so she had to force her to question, and the two started to argue.
However, it didn't take long for the dispute to end naturally and as a matter of course.
It was only at this moment that the two of them remembered that Lian Fangzhou hadn't taken out the silver note sealed in the red envelope sent by Lian Fangzhou. Seeing the ten tael silver note, all the disputes came to an abrupt end.
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Miss Lian is really our family's great benefactor!" Sun sighed: "The head of the family, it seems that we have really come to the end of all hardships and met a noble person!"
Sun Changxing nodded and said: "This is Miss Lian's kindness. Let's keep the money for now. You don't have to mention this to thank Miss Lian when you see her. Anyway, let's just keep it in our hearts. We will use it in the future. Ah Ming is promising, so please repay Miss Lian well!"
Sun nodded in agreement.
Lian Fangzhou prepared two copies of the same gift.
One was given to the Sun family, and the other was of course given to his cousin Lian Hai.
No matter how you say it is a great happy event for the Lian family, even if you don't wait for the etiquette, you can't go wrong, besides, Lian Hai is still good to their siblings, no matter in the past or in the future, at least for now.
However, the reactions of Lian Li, Mrs. Qiao and the Sun family's couple who received the gift were completely different.
Lian Hai, like Sun Ming, has not come back yet.
How could Lian Li be so rare about these things, even though Lian Fangzhou added two jars of Huadiao wine and a pair of beautifully embroidered ruyi head-shaped purses bought in the market than the one given to Sun Ming.
Lian Li was not concerned, so he curled his lips and "cut", but Qiao Shi quit.
She said angrily: "What do you mean by that damn girl? Send the beggar! Hmph, Ah Hai has won the prize of a scholar, and their second wife has also been rewarded for nothing. It's not like she can't afford the money, so just give it! She Is it a disgusting person or something! No, you can’t forget it like this!”
Ever since she got the official news that her son had passed the examination as a scholar, Qiao's whole body trembled, and she was elated when she saw everyone, as if she would be promoted to an official old lady immediately.
What she wanted most was to go to Lian Fangzhou's house to show off, to stimulate and humiliate Lian Fangzhou's siblings once in a while.
It's just that Lian Li warned and stopped her. She didn't understand that Lian Li was not completely confused. Knowing that her son had hit a scholar in the back, her mother-in-law went to the second room to find fault and humiliate others. It is not a good reputation!
Of course, if one of the sons is a juren or a scholar, no one would dare to spread a bad reputation even if his family did too much.
Even if he refused to let go, Mrs. Qiao could only bear it no matter how unwilling she was.
However, now that she was "bullied to the door of the house", she was told to endure that she would never do it!
Seeing Lian Li glaring over, Qiao stared back confidently, and said, "What? I can't go? If it's all over, that damn girl might laugh at us behind my back! Hmph, where is such a cheap one in this world?" Fuck! Why should their family sit back and enjoy what they get without paying anything! A joke! Don’t tell me they won’t be honored when they go out? Don’t others say that they are our cousins of Ah Hai!”
The more Qiao talked, the more he felt that his family was in a loss, and that the loss was huge, and he immediately went to talk to Lian Fangzhou.
Lian Li stopped her, and said: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, why are you in a hurry? Be careful, don't just say a few words and let others get caught in it! Also, don't stand at the door If you argue with her, you have to go into the room if you want to talk!"
In case of embarrassment and loss of big hair!
