The Bai family's house was completed quickly. At noon on the day of completion, Man Bao and the others did not eat in the school. Instead, they followed Bai Shanbao and ran into the new house to eat.

Mrs. Bai's Mrs. Liu was very generous. She went to the county town to hire a chef, and also hired many people in the village to help them. She specially planned to hold a flowing feast for one day.

All guests who come can sit down and have a meal without bringing any gifts.

As the number one person in Qili Village, Mr. Zhuang was of course invited, and of course, Man Bao and the others were also invited.

Everyone in the village, from a sixty-year-old woman who can walk to a child in August or September who can eat solid food, everyone comes.

Of course, the villagers were too embarrassed to come empty-handed and brought more or less something. Xiao Qian and others who came to help also declined the wages offered by the Bai family. The village chief's wife spoke on behalf of everyone to the servants who came to distribute the rewards.

: "Every family has to help with weddings and funerals in the village, and I never give money to anyone I see. Since your old lady lives in the village, she is a member of Qili Village, and fellow villagers help each other.

It’s as it should be.”

Everyone hurriedly responded, and Xiao Qian also said: "That is to say, the house built by your old lady is extraordinary. It took so many days to build it, and we men have the nerve to take the money. My sister-in-law came home earlier and made a fuss about building it for your house."

I thought the house would be built in a few days."

"Yes, fellow villagers, who doesn't have a hand in building a house? Just take care of the food. Before, the men were embarrassed to ask for wages. We just helped to make two meals, wash and brush, etc.

You don’t need to hold a spoon. If you need wages, get them back quickly. Get them back quickly.”

The servants obviously did not expect this, as it was beyond their knowledge, so they could only go back to the old lady and his wife with the reward.

Mrs. Zheng obviously didn't expect it, and said: "The villagers in Qili Village are quite simple. Mom, will you give me back the money?"

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "Since it is the custom in their village, I won't give it to you. Giving it to me forcefully will not only fail to satisfy you, but will also appear unreasonable."

Mrs. Zheng was amazed, "There are actually people in this world who do free work. My daughter-in-law remembers that in the clan, even distant relatives who came to help at home were paid."

"Customs vary from place to place. We follow the local customs and tell the kitchen to sort out the leftovers that look decent and take them back to the ladies who help."

Servants should get off.

At this time, Man Bao was climbing up a high chair and sitting next to Bai Shanbao with her feet dangling in the air. She looked around curiously. She saw many familiar people, but she didn't find Fifth Brother and the others, they were just like little adults.

Sighed.

The food hadn't been served yet, so everyone could only drink water from the cups, so Bai Shanbao chatted with her, "Why are you sighing? Is it because your husband said we can't write articles yet?"

"no."

"What's that for?"

Manbao let out a sigh and said: "My fifth brother and sixth brother are not here. They must have gone to do business. It seems that they are not lucky enough to eat delicious food today. I heard my sister-in-law say, you guys

My family also made goose meat, and the goose was so big.”

Man Bao made a big circle gesture, and Bai Shanbao said: "Impossible, I have never seen geese in my house."

"It's not wrong. My sister-in-law never lies." Man Bao said, "If you don't believe it, wait until the food is served and see if the goose is that big."

Bai Erlang heard them distort the topic while they were talking, and couldn't help but correct them uncomfortably, saying: "Aren't you talking about your fifth brother and sixth brother's business? We have been at school for several days.

Why are they still going?"

"What does this have to do with our schooling? My third brother is serving there. He must go there. Otherwise, my third brother will eat cold steamed buns and drink cold water while you eat. How pitiful it would be."

Bai Erlang also tried drinking cold water in the winter. He shuddered and said, "It would be better to spend money to do the work instead of suffering this."

In the past, Bai Erlang would definitely not have understood this kind of thing, but after following Man Bao and the others, he was worried that he would have to work as a laborer in the future as soon as he came back.

Although it was quite fun there, he was still very unwilling to have to dig soil all day long, so he asked his father as soon as he came back and learned that his father paid for the service, otherwise he would be the one serving at the moment.

Dad, when his eldest brother reaches adulthood, it will probably be his eldest brother's turn.

Knowing that money could be used as a substitute, Bai Erlang became proud. Although he was young and didn't know much, he also knew that his family was the richest in the village, and even the richest in several nearby villages!

It was not like Man Bao had never mentioned it to her family, so she knew the reason and shook her head decisively: "My family doesn't have enough money. Even with five taels of silver, I can marry my fifth brother a wife."

Bai Erlang's eyes widened, "You can get a wife for five taels?"

"That's right, your father used the money your eldest brother spent to get a wife this year to serve as a substitute. Next year it will be your turn to use the money you spent to get a wife to work as a substitute." Man Bao was very worried for him, "What will happen if you can't get a wife in the future?"

Let’s do it.”

Bai Shanbao covered his mouth in joy.

Bai Erlang was frightened and frightened. Although he was young, he knew that his wife was a good thing.

He immediately got up from the chair and ran towards his father. Just as the food was starting to be served in the kitchen, a group of children immediately picked up their chopsticks and stood ready.

After investigating and serving in the field, Bai Shanbao is no longer picky about food. Now he wants to eat everything he sees.

The person who came to serve the food happened to be the second sister-in-law Feng. When she saw her sister-in-law, she immediately smiled at her and placed the meat in her hand close to Manbao.

A group of children screamed and drooled secretly as they looked at the meat in the basin, but the dishes were not served and no one moved.

Before coming here, Mr. Zhuang gave everyone an etiquette lesson so that everyone knew the correct rules for dining as guests.

Mr. Zhuang sat at the head table in the main hall. He glanced outside and saw that the students were all well-behaved, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Just when he was satisfied, Bai Erlang ran up and asked angrily at Mr. Bai, Bai Erlang's father, who was sitting next to him, "Dad, did you use the money you gave me to marry my wife to work on my behalf?"

Mr. Bai: "..."

Manbao's eyes were fixed on the meat. In order to divert her attention, she stared at the meat and whispered to Bai Shanbao beside her: "My fifth brother and the others are very powerful. They made a lot of money the day before yesterday and yesterday."

money."

Bai Shanbao was never short of food, and he was still quite reserved at this time. But seeing Man Bao like this, he felt greedy, so he looked away with difficulty, and just looked at Man Bao and asked, "How many, many, many, many?"

"My fifth brother and sixth brother earned 368 cash, and more than half a bag of wheat. My second brother was a little less, but he still made 289 cash, and there were a lot of wheat and a lot of wheat.
