Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 275 Double Happiness

  Thirty miles away, we arrived in less than half an hour.

 Nearly every house in the new village was empty, and men, women, old and young all gathered at Li's house.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru led a group of women, sweating profusely from their work.

 The milky-white mutton soup was boiled in a big pot, and then put into the big bucket along with the haggis, mutton and mutton bones, and hundreds of steamed buns were also put into baskets.

 This is to be carried to the hot spring valley and given to the guests.

Today, the family is busy, and there is no time to cook specially for them. The lack of manpower also means that the hospitality is not good. Treating the guests to a bowl of mutton soup makes me feel happy, so I should apologize.

There are two additional small pots, filled with stir-fried pork belly, cabbage, fungus and minced eggplant.

This is in case there are female guests who don’t like the fishy mutton soup, so they can change the dishes so that they won’t go hungry.

 After finishing these tasks, tables began to be set up in the house and yard.

Today is an excellent day. The autumn wind seems to have lost the coolness of the past, leaving only the sun to warm us.

 Three tables were placed under the eaves of the corridor, where distinguished guests and elders were seated.

 There are eight tables in the yard, enough for all the men, women and children in the village to sit down.

Originally, the family was killing pigs and slaughtering sheep, and Mrs. Cui and others gave so many chickens, fish, meat and eggs.

 So, today’s meal is extraordinarily rich.

 The four main dishes are chicken stewed with mushrooms, iron pot braised fish stewed with tofu, braised lamb chops, and white meat with garlic paste.

 The four stir-fried dishes are fried fungus with cabbage, minced meat and eggplant, sweet and sour short ribs, and fried eggplant box.

 The four cold dishes are spinach with nuts, cowpeas with garlic paste, hand-shredded vegetables, and homemade jelly.

In addition, there are also two sweet potatoes and pumpkin baked with egg yolk that women and children love to eat. The two soups are winter melon meatball soup and stick bone radish soup.

Sixteen dishes in total, plates piled on top of plates, big bowls piled on top of big bowls, the table almost collapsed.

The staple food is also large white-flour steamed buns, which can be eaten in five or six baskets by more than a hundred people!

 The wine jars were squatting in rows under the wall, waiting to be opened and drank.

Seeing Li Laoer come back, everyone greeted him with a smile.

 “The second gentleman is back and is waiting for you to drink.”

Li Laoer smiled and responded with a few words, then went up the steps and said to his mother and brother, "The yard has been sold and the household registration list has been changed. Everything is going well."

“Okay, that’s good, our family is finally together and we are all back!”

The old lady's eyes were red and she was trying her best to hold back tears. Li Zhensheng also turned his head and did not dare to speak, for fear that tears would fall as soon as he opened his mouth.

Everyone quickly changed their conversation, and Liu Zhiheng joked with the old lady.

“Auntie, today’s feast is too rich. All the delicious food is served to us. Will the family be unable to survive in the future?”

 The old lady laughed when she heard this and waved her hand, extremely generously.

"Our family has been together for more than ten years, and today is the happiest day. Of course we have to celebrate it. Everyone is welcome to eat and drink well. After that, we will have to eat rice bran for a year, and our family is also happy!"

Everyone laughed and shouted loudly.

 “Congratulations to my aunt on the family reunion!”

 “Congratulations to Zhensheng for returning home!”

 “From now on, the road to prosperity will be smooth sailing!”

The villagers have not read many books, so naturally they cannot say any elegant congratulations, but every word is sincere. Li Zhensheng stood up, took his two sons with him, walked to the bottom of the steps, and knelt on the ground facing his mother and the door of the main house.

“Mother, the ancestors of the Li family are here, and the unfilial son Zhensheng has returned with his second son Jia Li and Jia Kang.”

Old Mrs. Li held back her tears and responded loudly.

"It's good to come back. From now on, you must serve your ancestors, be friendly to your brothers, and shine the lintel of the Li family. Don't slack off!"

“Yes, remember your mother’s teachings!” Li Zhensheng led his sons to kowtow, officially recognizing their ancestors.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao San quickly went to help their eldest brother up, and Li Lao Si also held his two nephews in his arms.

The village chief and others looked happy and said, "On such a good day, I need to drink a few more drinks!"

But Mrs. Li waved her hand, "We have to wait a moment. All the folks are here today. Mrs. Cui, Mr. Wen and Mr. Liu also came to celebrate. It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to bear witness to our Fu Niu'er. "

 Fu Niu? What kind of testimony?

Most people in the village don’t know about it and are very curious.

 Don’t talk about them, even Li Laosan and Jiaren don’t know.

At this moment, Young Master Ye took Jiayin’s hand, walked to the steps, and said with a smile, “I want to accept Fu Niu as my adopted daughter, and I will ask all my fellow villagers to bear witness today.”

Everyone was surprised and happy, even though they usually knew that Mr. Ye was close and trusting to the Li family and was good to the children of the Li family.

But I didn’t expect that Mr. Ye was so partial to Fu Niu.

 You must know that Mr. Ye is a marquis, a military marquis with military exploits and military power, while the Li family is just an ordinary farmer.

 Fu Niu became the adopted daughter of the Marquis, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Fu Niu, wanting to see what was so different about this child that the Marquis valued her so much.

Fu Niuer also dressed up specially today. She was wearing a red dress with a slanted skirt, butterflies embroidered on the skirt, and a yellow and white kitten embroidered on the skirt. She looked like she was about to pounce on the butterflies at any time. It was really lifelike, playful and cute.

 The sparse little hair is not tied into sky braids or gold bells today. Instead, she combed her hair with two small hairpins, tied it with a silk ribbon with pearls, and hung a bright gold necklace on her chest, which made her eyes sparkle. She looked so noble, completely different from the naughty look of the past.

Jiayi moved a chair and put it down, and Young Master Ye slowly sat down.

Jiaren also took a cushion and put it in front of the chair, but Jiayin moved the cushion aside and knelt directly on the bluestone floor.

The warmth in Mr. Ye's eyes became even greater. He reached out to touch Jiayin's little head and said, "Although I was born into a wealthy family, I have been alone for half my life and often feel that the world is cold. However, I was lucky enough to meet the Li family and Fu Niu, and I finally understood what it is. family.

"Today I invite all my fellow villagers to witness that I, Ye Chengyi, the Marquis of Xinting in Tianwu, am willing to accept Li Jiayin as my adopted daughter and protect her for a lifetime of food and clothing, happiness and peace! I am even more willing to be the son-in-law of the Li family, to be filial to my mother, and to take care of my brothers as one. Nephew. If there is any violation, heaven and earth will punish each other, and humans and gods will be angry!"

This is not about adopting an adopted daughter. She is obviously going to be half a son of the Li family, or a son with a different surname from the Li family!

 A dignified military prince has no dislike for the Li family. It can even be said that he yearns for it. Now he has clearly stated that he will be tied to the Li family and share weal and woe. It is really surprising!

The Li family didn't expect it either. Just when they were about to stop him, Jiayin spoke softly and softly.

 She was also alone in her previous life, and she longed for family affection to the extreme, even pretending not to care on the surface.

If there is only one person present who understands why Mr. Ye is like this, it is her.

People in the depths of **** will catch a beam of light no matter what.

 People who live in the depths of winter will definitely risk their lives when encountering warmth.

"Father, Fu Niu'er welcomes you on behalf of the Li family. Fu Niu will treat you as a filial father from now on! I will make you clothes, make delicious food, earn money to spend on you, and provide for you in your old age!"

After saying the good news, he kowtowed three times respectfully, then took the tea bowl on one side and raised it high above his head.
