Chapter 371 The appearance of the prosperous family
The village chief and Uncle Zhao's eyes were red when they heard this, and they were too excited to speak.
They are just disabled and wounded soldiers lingering outside Kyoto. Everyone despises and looks down on them. How could they have imagined that they would be so respected by so many noble people today.
Thinking about the hard work of lying on the ice and sleeping in the snow guarding the frontier when they were young, the poverty after being discharged from the army, the anxiety of fleeing south, and the glory today, the two of them had more and more mixed feelings.
The village chief uncle kept waving his hands, "Should we do it, we should do it, we should do it!"
Uncle Zhao also nodded vigorously, "We didn't do much, we just ran away together to survive. They are all young. We have lived for a few more years, so we have to protect them more."
Everyone was amused by these two simple old men. Li Laoer took the initiative to use his chopsticks, and everyone started to eat.
Naturally, everyone started talking about escaping from famine. The village chief and Uncle Zhao also started chatting after drinking a bowl of wine.
The villagers worked together to drive away the wolves, spent the winter in a cave, killed the robbers to save the children, and unexpectedly got the news that the Guo family had been murdered...
Uncle Zhao even wiped tears when he thought of that journey.
These old brothers were either handless or lame. They were like burdens. They were carried step by step by the young and old of the Li family and dragged on stretchers before they walked out of the mountain.
Mr. Liu kept nodding his head, and Mr. Peng was even more excited.
In such difficult circumstances, the Li family refused to abandon even a few disabled veterans.
There are probably not many people in Tianwu who value love and justice and have such excellent conduct.
His daughter will definitely not be wronged when she gets married. The Peng family will have a strong backer if they have such an in-law in the future!
In the east wing, a table was also opened.
Mrs. Li accompanied Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui to bring good news. The two boys from the Liu family, Jia'an Jiaxi, Brother Li and Brother Mao were also enjoying the meal.
A few boys especially liked the boiled fish, their mouths turned red because of the spicy food, and they refused to stop using their chopsticks.
Jiayin then grabbed two pieces of fish and was suppressed by grandma.
The old lady was afraid that she was too young and had a bad gastrointestinal condition, and eating spicy food would easily upset her stomach.
Mrs. Cui asked for a bowl of warm water, rinsed off the spicy oil on the fish, picked out the spines, and put it into the bowl of good news.
Jiayin was so happy that she even kissed her sister-in-law with her oily mouth, which made Mrs. Cui dodge quickly and everyone kept laughing.
Five tables were also opened in the yard. Li Laosan, Third Uncle Wu, Fourth Uncle Wang and others accompanied the three Li Zhengs, and a dozen villagers who followed them occupied two tables.
Li Laosi and Li Yong accompanied the Marquis's soldiers and sat at three other tables.
In fact, they live together through life and death, and it is a life-long brotherhood. Li Laosi and Li Yong are not accompanied by anyone, and no one cares about them. However, everyone is happier when the brothers get together, drink wine and eat meat.
Tables and chairs were also set up in the empty space outside the yard, and all the people in the village, old and young, gathered together to eat and drink.
Although the dishes are not as comprehensive as those at the banquet, they are still enough for white steamed buns and stewed meat.
If there are people at home who are inconvenient to come, you can also bring earthenware bowls and take the food back.
The three brothers Jiaren, Jiahuan and Jiayi had a quick bite in the kitchen, then took the wine flask and went to each table to pour wine for everyone.
Those who came to celebrate today are all close friends and relatives. It is also the etiquette for a nephew and younger brother to pour the wine himself.
Sure enough, everyone was happy when they took the wine bowl and praised the three boys one after another. Jia Huan poured wine for Mr. Peng with a blushing face. The more Mr. Peng looked at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he became, and told him: "You and Wenjuan have decided to get married. Don't be afraid of outsiders talking about it. Come to the house often when you have nothing to do."
Jia Huan quickly nodded in agreement, but Li Zhensheng smiled and said: "Mr. Peng likes Jia Huan, and our family is happy, but I am afraid that this child will not have much free time in the future!
“The big restaurant I have in the city is about to reopen. I want to transfer this kid to be the chef, and let him learn how to cook seafood from the chef invited back from the south.”
“Oh? That’s a good thing!” Mr. Peng’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
Although the Li family is prosperous, the family still works at the snack shop, and being his son-in-law is not that honorable after all.
If you can manage a big restaurant in the future, you will be more successful than you are now!
Li Zhensheng added: "I have formed a small fleet in the south, and fresh seafood will be shipped back in a few days. By then, if it has a good reputation in Xindu, it will also open branches in other state capitals.
"I can't finish the work alone. There are many children in the house, so Jia Huan can help me. When the time comes, Mr. Peng, please don't complain that this child is too busy and can't always fulfill his filial piety in front of you."
"No, no, we are just joking. As elders, we are only happier when our children are successful. There is no reason to keep the children close to us!" Mr. Peng smiled brightly and patted Jia Huan's arm, "Study hard then. Too many arts don’t overwhelm the body.”
"Yes, sir." Jia Huan responded respectfully, his face even redder.
Li Laoer remembered my mother’s plan and asked when the academy would enroll students again.
Mr. Peng heard that the Li family wanted to send three children to the academy, so he immediately agreed.
He was worried that he could not take a step further with the Li family. This was a good opportunity. What’s more, if the Li family’s children achieved success in their studies, it was also his son-in-law’s help!
Li Laoer then said: "It will be difficult for me to teach in the school in the future, but the children in the village cannot be delayed. Does Mr. Wen have any acquaintances? Can you introduce one to the village?"
The village chief echoed: "It's best to find someone who is strict. A strict teacher will produce a good disciple! These brats in the village can't be too relaxed, otherwise they will easily cause trouble."
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll help you when I get back. Recently, Broken Gold Beach has become famous far and wide, so many people must be willing to come."
Li Zhensheng reminded: "It's best to find an enlightened gentleman. Children in the village, both male and female, need to be educated and sensible. It's not good for girls to be treated differently and hurt the children's hearts."
"Okay, don't worry." Mr. Wen nodded, "Actually, I have always thought that girls should study. Even if they can't pass the scientific examination, when they get married and run the family, they can take care of the house and raise their children, and they will be much better than others."
"Sir, you are right," the village chief and others also responded happily, "Both girls and boys in our village are the same, they are all treasures."
As he was talking, Liu Yang suddenly ran in from outside the yard and shouted: "Dad, come home quickly, my mother has given birth!"
"What?"
Liu Biaotou was startled. He had no time to say hello to everyone, so he turned around and ran away. As a result, he turned around and came back to carry the miracle doctor Zhang on his back.
Magic Doctor Zhang grabbed a chicken drumstick in his hand and lay on Liu Biao's head and back very calmly. He continued to eat it with gusto without panicking at all.
He is really used to it. He is just a brick, moving wherever there is trouble!
And every time you don’t have to walk by yourself, there is always someone carrying you!
Everyone was startled, and Li Laoer quickly comforted him: "Let's continue eating, don't worry, once Miracle Doctor Zhang comes over, mother and son will definitely be safe. Moreover, the Liu family's sister-in-law has already figured it out, and is not as dangerous as Dayong's wife. "
When talking about Li Yong, we must talk about the Yan family. Old Mrs. Liu shook his head and said: "Those people in the Yan family are also confused. Only such a son can make a difference, and they were forced to separate the clan."
