Thirty miles away, but it will arrive in half an hour.

In the new village, almost every household was empty, men, women and children gathered at Li's house.

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

The milky white mutton soup boiled in the big pot was put into the vat together with the haggis and mutton bones, and a hundred steamed buns were also put into the baskets.

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

The family is busy today, and I don't have time to cook for them. The lack of manpower is also the lack of hospitality. Treating the guests to a bowl of mutton soup to make them feel happy is an apology.

There are also two small pots, filled with fried pork belly, cabbage, fungus and minced meat eggplant.

This is for female customers who don't like the fishy smell of mutton soup, so they can change the dishes so that they won't be hungry.

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

Today is an excellent weather, the autumn wind seems to have lost the coolness of the past, only the sun is left to make people warm.

There are three tables placed under the eaves, where distinguished guests and elders sit.

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

Originally, the family slaughtered pigs and sheep, but Mrs. Cui and others gave away so many chicken, fish, meat and eggs.

Therefore, today's banquet is extraordinarily rich.

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

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

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

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

There were sixteen dishes in total, plates on plates, bowls on bowls, the table almost collapsed.

The staple food is also white flour steamed buns, five or six baskets full, more than 100 people can eat casually!

The wine jars squatted in rows under the wall, waiting to be opened to drink.

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

"Mr. Er is back, just waiting for you to drink."

Li's second child responded with a smile, then went up the steps, and said to his wife and elder brother, "The yard has been sold, and the household register has been changed. Everything is going well."

"Okay, that's good, our family is finally together, and we're all back!"

The old lady's eyes were red, and she tried her best to hold back her tears. Li Zhensheng also turned his head and dared not speak, for fear that tears would fall when he opened his mouth.

Everyone quickly changed the subject, Liu Zhiheng was joking with the old lady.

"Auntie, today's meal is too rich, and all the delicious food has been brought out for us. Will the family have a hard time in the future?"

The old lady laughed when she heard that, and waved her hand, extremely generous.

"Our family has been in the family for more than ten years, and today is the happiest day. Of course, we should celebrate it well. Everyone eat and drink well, don't be too polite. After a year, we will eat bran swallowed vegetables, and our family will be happy too!"

Everyone laughed and shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to my aunt's family reunion!"

"Congratulations Zhensheng coming home!"

"From now on, it will be smooth sailing!"

The villagers have not read any books, so naturally they can't say any congratulatory speeches, but every word is sincere.

Li Zhensheng got up, took his two sons, walked down the steps, and knelt down on the ground facing his wife and the door of the main house.

"Mother, above all the ancestors of the Li family, the unfilial son Zhensheng has returned with his second son Jiali and Jiakang."

Mrs. Li held back her tears and answered loudly.

"It's good to be back. From now on, we must worship our ancestors, love our brothers, and honor the lintel of the Li family. Don't slack off!"

"Yes, remember mother's teaching!" Li Zhensheng led his sons to kowtow, officially recognizing their ancestors.

Li Laoer and Li Laosan hurried to help the eldest brother up, and Li Laosi also held the two nephews in his arms one by one.

The village head and others looked happy, "It's such a good day, we need to drink a few more glasses!"

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Wait a minute, all the folks are here today, Mrs. Cui, Mr. Wen and Mr. Liu also came to congratulate, just take this opportunity to be a witness for our family. "

Fu Niu?What testimonies?

Most people in the village didn't know about it, so they were very curious.

Not to mention them, even Li Laosan and Jiaren don't know.

At this moment, Mr. Ye took Jiayin's hand, walked up to the steps, and said with a smile, "I want to recognize Fu Niu as a righteous daughter. Today, I invite the fathers and villagers to be witnesses."

Everyone was surprised and delighted, although they also knew that Mr. Ye was close and trusting to the Li family, and he was good to the children of the Li family.

But I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so partial to Fu Niu.

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

Fu Niu has become the adopted daughter of Lord Hou, and it can be said that she has reached the sky in one step.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at Fu Niu, wanting to see how this child was different, which was so valued by Lord Hou.

Fu Niuer is also well-dressed today. She is wearing a red slanted skirt with butterflies embroidered on the skirt and a yellow and white kitten embroidered on the skirt. She looks like she is about to catch butterflies at any time. She is really lifelike, playful and charming. cute.

Sparse little hair, not braided today, tied with golden bells.Instead, she combed two little claws, tied a silk ribbon with pearls on it, and hung a shining gold collar on her chest, which was shining against her eyes.

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

Jiaren also took the 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 Ye Gongzi's eyes was even stronger, he reached out to touch Jiayin's little head, and said, "Although I was born in a wealthy family, I was lonely for half my life, and I often felt that the world was cold. But I was lucky enough to meet the Li family and Fu Niu, and finally understood what is family.

"Today, I would like to invite my fellow villagers to witness that I, Ye Chengyi, Marquis of Xinting, Tianwu, would like to accept Li Jiayin as a righteous daughter, and protect her for a lifetime of food and clothing, joy and peace! Nephew. If there is any violation, the heaven and the earth will be punished together, and the gods will be angry together!"

This is not a righteous girl, she is obviously going to be the half son of the Li family, or the son of a different surname of the Li family!

A dignified military lord who has no dislike for the Li family, can even be said to yearn for it in his heart, now he has clearly stated that he wants to be tied to the Li family and share weal and woe, it is really surprising!

The Li family didn't expect that, when they were about to stop, Jiayin spoke softly.

She was also alone in her previous life, longing for family affection to the extreme, and 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 hell, when they see a ray of light, they must catch it no matter what.

People in the deep winter will definitely be desperate when they encounter warmth.

"Father, Fu Niuer welcomes you on behalf of the Li family. Fu Niu will treat you as filial as her own father in the future! Make clothes for you, make delicious food, earn money for you to spend, and give you a pension!"

After Jiayin finished speaking, she kowtowed three times respectfully, then took the tea bowl on one side and raised it high above her head.
