It was dusk before I knew it. Niu Dali saw that it was getting late. The ancients usually ate early, mainly to save candlelight, and he quickly solved the dinner while it was still dawn.
Many villagers came out of their fields and walked into the village with hoes. They worked hard all day. No matter who they were, they just wanted to go home and have a good bite of hot rice.
Niu Dali also packed up his things and went back to squeak out Erya.
Seeing Erya looking at the river not far away reluctantly, he couldn't help laughing, "Eya still wants to eat grilled fish?"
Erya's little head focused a little, but when she thought of going home for dinner, she shook her head again.
"When I have time in the future, my dad will cook a few more fish and bake it for you to eat!" Niu Dali smiled.
Erya immediately hugged his thighs with joy.
Looking at the little girl's joyful appearance, Niu Dali suddenly carried the little girl on her shoulders, "Let's go, let's go home for dinner!"
Along the way, I met many familiar villagers, and Niu Daliyi said hello to these villagers.
Before entering the village, I saw smoke rising in the village. Although Xinghua Village is surrounded by the mountains and waters, the scenery looks particularly beautiful, especially the apricot blossom trees surrounding the village. When the flower season comes, the scenery is so beautiful. In the first life, it is the most beautiful village and there is no shortage of tourists.
But this place was ancient times. There were not thousands or hundreds of scenery like this. Moreover, the villagers could only live on a few acres of land in their hands, and every household lived a very difficult life.
When Niu Dali returned to Niu's house, in the main house, except for the sick Niu Dayong and his wife, and Niu Yongyi who was practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall in the town, the others were already sitting at the Eight Immortals table.
Niu Laogen sat in the middle of the table, holding a hookah in his hand, smoking a cigarette expressionlessly. Qian Pozi sat next to him. Qian Pozi glanced at Niu Dali in disgust. It seemed that he believed that Niu Dayong and his wife were sick because of him.
On the left side of the Eight Immortals table were Niu Dazhuang and his wife, while on the right side were usually seated by Niu Dayong and his wife. However, because Niu Dayong and his wife were sick, the seat on the right was given to the children of the big room and the third room.
Niu Yongqi is Niu Dayong's second son. He was fourteen years old. He was wearing a simple white robe and dressed in a scholarly manner. He gave people the feeling of reading a sage. I heard that reading is good, so I will be taking the exam this year.
Niu Yunru is Niu Dazhuang's eldest daughter, twelve years old, somewhat similar to Zhang. She has a pointed chin and arrogant eyes. Her second son Niu Yongli, who is nine years old, is also studying in a private school.
"Second uncle!" Niu Yongqi bowed to Niu Dali.
Niu Yunru and Niu Yongli also said in unison: "Second uncle!"
Niu Dali nodded and walked into his position to sit down. He knew that it was not because of how good his relationship with his nieces and nephews were. They called him this way, but in this world, they did not want to be pointed at by others. If you want to be given imperial examinations or marry a good family, you must abide by some old rules, such as respecting your elders.
At this moment, Li Xianglan was busy working in the kitchen, and Da Ya and Er Ya held the plates on the Eight Immortals table.
After a while, dinner was ready. After Li Xianglan filled a bowl of rice for each person, she stood aside with Da Ya and Er Ya.
Everyone in the house was waiting for Niu Laogen to move the chopsticks. As long as Niu Laogen didn't move the chopsticks, no one else dared to touch the dishes on the table.
Looking at Li Xianglan and her daughter standing aside, Niu Dali felt unhappy.
In the past, Li Xianglan and her daughter were like this. They stood by and watched them eat, and only then did they start eating after they all finished their meal.
But what can be left on the table in the end?
Not only did all the dishes be eaten, but not even much rice was left. Li Xianglan and his daughter could only pour water into the rice and drink the porridge without a few grains of rice.
"Let's have a meal!" Niu Laogen put the hookah in his hand on Table Mountain and said.
"Dad, wait a moment!" Seeing that everyone was about to move their chopsticks, Niu Dali spoke out and stopped him.
For a moment, the people in the room immediately looked at him, and they didn't understand what Niu Dali was going to do at this time.
Niu Laogen also looked at Niu Dali with inquiry in his eyes.
"Dad, is Xianglan the wife of our Niu family?" Niu Dali asked suddenly.
Niu Laogen picked up the hookah pipe, smoked, and nodded.
"Are Da Ya and Er Ya your granddaughters?" Niu Dali asked again.
Niu Laogen frowned, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"
"I want Xianglan, Daya, Erya and the others to sit together for dinner!" Niu Dali said directly.
Niu Laogen was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Niu Dali would ask Li Xianglan and his daughter to serve for dinner.
At this time, it was not only Niu Laogen, but also Niu Dazhuang's family, who were wide open their eyes.
Niu Yongqi raised his eyes and looked at Niu Dali with a surprised look.
Li Xianglan and her daughter were also stunned.
"Just because of her, a maid, is worthy of having dinner with us?" Qian Pozi pointed at Li Xianglan beside him, sneered, and said.
Maid?
Niu Dali took a deep breath, "Mom, Xianglan is not a maid, she is my wife, the wife of our Niu family!"
"Even if she is your wife now, she is not good enough. She has been a maid before. It was a blessing she had cultivated in her Niu family for several lifetimes. She still wanted to sit with us for dinner, but she had no way!" Qian Ma Zi said fiercely.
"Yes, second uncle! Don't be angry. Second sister-in-law once was a maid. Who doesn't know how to be a maid? She is the one who serves the master. If it's a wife, it's fine, but if it's a master, the master's maid."
Zhang said half of the words, but the last words made people think of it.
But everyone present knew what Zhang meant, and who didn't know the maid who served the master and the young master...
Li Xianglan's face suddenly turned pale and her body trembled.
Niu Dali felt cold.
