At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Xie Chunxi stepped on the shovel with his foot, used his strength to shovel up a large pile of soil, and shook the soil into the pit.

Xie Chunxi wiped his sweat and said: "This didn't exist before, but doesn't it exist now?"

Amid everyone's laughter, Xie Chunxi finally filled the hole. Meng also changed into clean clothes and came back, taking over Xiao Yuheng from the Qian family's sister-in-law.

Returning to the east wing, I bathed and changed the little guy's clothes, and put on the tiger head hat, shoes and socks given by the Qian family. It was supposed to be a gift from Meng's natal family, but Meng's family has no natal family, so the Qian family simply paid for it, which is commonly known as "taking the full moon".

When he came out again, the villagers had already arrived at Xie's house with the gifts they had prepared. The yard was bustling with people.

The villagers talked loudly about today's protagonist. Some said, "The Qian family really treats Meng Wanning's children as their own grandchildren."

"That's not true. No other grandson is treated like this."

"I just met that kid in the backyard, and he looks like a lucky kid!"

Some people also asked people around them in a low voice: "Is no one from the Xie Wu family coming?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at him and rubbed the pastry off the peanuts. He said slowly and leisurely: "I didn't even invite you. I just buried Zhuangyuanjiu with the soil filled by Chunxi alone."

The man took a deep breath and thought of the recent rumors in the village. On the day when smoke came out of the ancestral graves, someone saw Xie Qilin hurriedly walking up the mountain from the path, and he couldn't help but believe it a little more.

The crackling of firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard, it was about to start.

Xie Yuheng was held in Meng's arms and his head rested on Meng's shoulder. The breath is filled with Meng's unique breath, which is reassuring. Xie Tingjiang covered her little ears with his rough hands to avoid being disturbed by the sound of firecrackers.

The shadow that hung over my heart in my previous life slowly dissipated with the careful care of my family in this life.

Is this what home feels like?

……

Men shuttled through the crowd carrying dishes to each table, including braised fish, braised lion's head, duck and lotus seed soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled fresh vegetables, stir-fried seasonal vegetables...

There were gasping sounds from time to time, and half of the ten bowls were filled with meat and vegetables. It was probably the first of its kind in this place in a long time.

Here Xie Tingjiang took out a porcelain bowl from the stove, which contained three chicken drumsticks and a plate of sauced pork ribs. He led Meng towards the table at Xie Laifu's house.

"Uncle Tingjiang, Aunt Meng." Xie Zhuqing was the first to greet them, and he was responsible for serving the dishes at their table.

Xie Tingjiang smiled and exchanged greetings with Xie Zhuqing, then put the dishes in his hands on the table. "These are the chicken drumsticks that were promised to Yunhua and his sister. Zhuqing also has them."

After saying that, he took the wine jar and bowl from the table and filled a large bowl. He bowed deeply to Mrs. Gu and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law, for saving my wife and I. If my sister-in-law is in need, just ask Ting Jiang."

Gu hurriedly stood up and returned the gift, "I couldn't help at all." Moreover, Xie Tinghai had already come to thank you with a heavy gift that day.

Xie Tingjiang only smiled slightly, raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

Xie Yuheng rolled her eyes, she knew a little bit about what her father meant.

The brothers Xie Laifu and Xie Lagui also stood up and toasted, saying auspicious words to wish Xiao Yuheng good health, happiness and longevity.

For a time, those who drank and drank each other, stood up and made noise, all the guests were happy.

Suddenly, a person ran in hastily from the gate, not knowing who he was looking for among the guests.

Xie Yuheng watched her father drink the wine in the bowl in one gulp again, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm on his lips.

Xie Tingjiang greeted the people who came to toast and said: "Brother, I must not get drunk today. Our Xie family has enough wine!"

"Brother Tingjiang, please come and do it." Xie Hong laughed boldly.

After a while, Xie Yuheng knew who the man who ran in was looking for, Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu didn't want to come, but he heard that there was a cook from Yangzhou who could make authentic pickled fresh food.

He also felt that at least he could check Meng's pulse, but he was too anxious, and it seemed that it would be okay to have another meal.

At this moment, he felt like vomiting. Because the man asked him to see a man who had fallen into a manure pit.

The doctor was kind-hearted, so he could only carry the medicine box for one trip.

Doctor Wu left, and the other people at the table lost their appetites when they looked at the dishes on the table, and the speed of taking down their chopsticks was much slower.

The people at the next table were curious and asked what was going on. In a moment, everyone there basically knew that Xie Qilin, who had planned to go to the county today to take the county examination, fell into the cesspit.

"His grandma's will fall off sooner or later. I was having a good time eating, and Xie Qilin fell into the manure pit. It's really disgusting." Someone in the crowd complained angrily.

Now, everyone who comes to eat will know.

Even Mrs. Guo, who was always known for her shamelessness, felt a little unable to eat, as if she suddenly smelled a stench.

"Then can Xie Qilin still catch up with the county examination the day after tomorrow?"

"Who cares if he can catch up? It's so damn unlucky. This lion's head doesn't taste good anymore."

"I heard, I heard, that on the day of Meng's accident, someone saw Xie Qilin going up the mountain from the path."

"Would not it be……"

"So, the Xie family's children are really blessed by their ancestors. Isn't this the fifth Xie family's retribution?"

"You can't say that. After all, they all belong to the Xie family. How can our ancestors treat one another favorably? Let me tell you, our little Yuheng is lucky." Xie Ding broke off a small section from the big bamboo broom and used it directly as a toothpick. .

"Not necessarily. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, so the palms of the hands are thicker than the backs of the hands."

Xie Ding used his tongue to push out the meat between his teeth and swallowed it into his throat. He nodded and felt that what he said made sense.

"Bah, ah, ah, ah, ah." Xie Yuheng looked at her father, babbling non-stop. Judging from her father's expression, it seemed like her father had done this.

How did her father do it? Even if he knew in advance the time when Xie Qilin was going to take the county exam, how could he predict that Xie Qilin would fall into the trap?

……

Here, after Doctor Wu finished the consultation, he rushed out of Xie Wu's house like a gust of wind, and then squatted on the roadside and retched. It's hard to make money in this world.

Inside the house, Xie Qilin was lying on the bed like a dead body, staring at the beams blankly.

Even though he had taken many showers, he still felt extremely smelly. He felt sick at the thought of falling into the cesspool and having the yellow and white stuff pouring into his mouth.

Outside the house, Dafang’s family of five were washing away the poop in the yard. Xie Zhaodi's clear and smart eyes moved slightly, and then changed to a timid look.

More than half a month ago, the whole family went out to work, and she delivered firewood home on the way.

I heard my second uncle Xie Yongkang telling his grandfather and grandmother in the hall that he had found a way for Xie Qilin to "pass the exam" as a criminal, but he still needed more than two hundred taels of silver.

There was still a long way to go before the silver that Xie Yongkang wanted, so the second uncle and his grandmother discussed selling the three sisters to such a place.

Because the Holy One used girls to cultivate immortality, many people among the people followed suit. Films about little girls that were originally worthless are more valuable than those about teenage girls who can pick up customers. The younger they are, the more valuable they are.

Her little sister Yingdi is only three years old.

Her parents were like mud and had no temper, no matter how much Ms. Lu kneaded her, she would accept it. The only one she could rely on was herself.

Their family has two thatched rooms. The second room is too dirty and has its own thatched room. On weekdays, the second uncle and second aunt live with their little cousin in the county, and only Xie Qilin uses the toilet in the second room.
