Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 672 Changes (Yesterday's update)

Although the Song family has become more and more prestigious in the village in recent years, in Li's heart, Mr. He's family is still out of their reach.

Mrs. Li was very flattered that Mr. He called her "Grandma Li" so affectionately and treated her so considerately.

She was immediately happy, thinking that her eldest grandson was indeed an official and very knowledgeable, so she insisted on accompanying her to the He family.

The relationship between relatives on the Yang family is just like that. Even if he comes, it won't make any difference. But it's different on the He family's side.

After this incident, if I can use this relationship to get closer to the He family, it will be of great benefit to my eldest grandson's promotion.

Soon, they arrived at the He family, and Mr. He led Song Tian to meet Mr. Wang.

As soon as Song Tian saw Mr. Wang sitting at the head of the table, he trotted forward and bowed deeply, "I am your student, Song Tian, and I am honored to meet you, Mr. Wang."

Looking at Song Tian who was respectful in front of him, Mr. Wang felt very complicated.

Once upon a time, Song Tian was one of the most troublesome children he taught. He was not enterprising, mischievous, and had a dull mind. Even after he was taught an article over and over again, he still didn't learn anything.

Most importantly, he likes to be clever and does a lot of sneaky things, which is a shame in his teaching career.

I thought that he would either be a shrewd farmer or a street thug in his lifetime, but I never expected that he would become something like him.

It seems that he respects his teachers more now than when he was in school.

Mr. Wang nodded slightly and gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table. "Did you come here with your grandmother?"

"Yes, grandma is old and has difficulty walking, and it's snowing recently, so I'm worried." Song Tian said respectfully, "Besides, we can learn to read and write thanks to Mr. He who invited teachers to teach and built the community school. Miss He is getting married today, so I have to come and ask for a glass of wedding wine in person."

Mr. Wang sighed again and said, "Look, now you can speak so beautifully."

Mr. He on the side smiled and said, "You were able to learn it all thanks to your own ability. I didn't do anything, so I don't deserve your thanks."

He paused, pinched his beard again, and patted Song Tian's shoulder cheerfully: "We will be relatives in the future. I have to ask for a favor. What should I call you in the future?"

Song Tian bowed with a smile, "Uncle He."

"Hey~" Master He responded exaggeratedly, took off the ring on his thumb and put it on Song Tian, "Here, this is a gift from Uncle He."

"Thank you, Uncle He." Song Tian smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he greeted the other elderly people at the table one by one.

They are the village chief of Wutong Village, and Yuan Qing's grandfather and second grandfather.

Except for the village chief, everyone at this table is related to him. Song Tian's attitude is very friendly and does not make people feel overbearing. Seeing this, several elders praised him and said that the Li family had raised a good grandson.

The scene where Song Tianyu and the others were having a great time talking together was seen by others with envy.

An elderly woman from Wutong Village who was talking to Li said enviously, "Sister Li, you're truly blessed these days. Your granddaughter is a renowned doctor, your eldest grandson is an official, and your youngest grandson is also a good student. I hear he's a talented scholar too. I'm sure he'll pass the imperial examination someday."

Li smiled so hard that her teeth showed. "Silly official, he's just a clerk, copying and writing for the real officials."

"Oh, Aunt Li, don't be so modest. Who in our surrounding villages doesn't envy you?" Aunt Meihua brought over a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, handed them to several people one by one, and motioned them to grab some.

When Mr. He's family holds a wedding, they naturally won't ask all the women in the village, young and old, to help like ordinary villagers would. Today, all the villagers are here to enjoy the banquet.

Except for the Song family who couldn't leave because they needed both families, the other families who came were basically male guests. Among the female guests, except for two elderly women from Wutong Village, the rest were relatives of the He family.

Among the villagers, the only young female guest was Aunt Meihua.

The female guests of the He family were received by Mrs. He inside, so there were only a few female guests outside.

Li grabbed a handful and said with a smile, "Hey, you are so lucky. You can always find food wherever you go."

Aunt Meihua smiled and said, "I am really grateful to you, old man. We have been here for quite a while now, but no maid or old woman has come to add tea or water.

As soon as you sat down, someone came over with the food. I intercepted it on the way."

Li's smile deepened, but she tried to explain for the He family, "It's a big wedding day, so everyone's busy and it's normal that they can't take care of everything. You've also married a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law before, so you should be very familiar with this kind of thing."

At this time, Madam He came over with her maid. Upon hearing this, she said to the maid in a stern voice, "Go and call the housekeeper. Tell him which maids are in charge of serving here, and ask him to teach them the rules!"

After giving the order, she stepped forward with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm so sorry, my maid didn't know the rules and neglected our distinguished guests."

Aunt Meihua was caught gossiping by the host and was very embarrassed. She also felt that Mrs. He was hypocritical. They had been there for such a long time, but she, the host, had not shown up.

Isn't it because she is negligent that the servants below are so perfunctory?

She smiled awkwardly, "Madam He, we were just joking. Your hospitality is very thoughtful."

Madam He said sincerely, "We are all from the same hometown, so don't be polite. If you need anything, just tell the maid."

As they were talking, Mrs. Tao came down, supported by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fang. Mrs. He, as the host, hurried over to greet her and supported Mrs. Tao on the other side. "Aunt Tao, we've been waiting for you to come. Come and sit down! Xiao Cui, bring the tea!"

The women also greeted Tao and Fang enthusiastically.

Fang helped Tao sit down, handed her the baking basket, and held her in the chair.

The old woman from Wutong Village sighed: "This is also a blessed old lady. Whose daughter-in-law is as caring as hers? They are almost as close as mother and daughter."

Mrs. Tao placed her hands on the handles of the baking basket and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, it is indeed my blessing to have met such a good daughter-in-law."

Fang smiled shyly, "You are a kind person, mother-in-law."

The harmony between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the envy of everyone.

Of course, what I envy even more is the Yuan family’s current status.

When Mr. He married off his daughter, other families in the village only had one person come to the banquet. The Yuan family was different. Mr. He invited the whole family, but he had not yet invited Yuan Qing, the person he wanted to invite the most.

Aunt Meihua secretly sighed that people of the same background have different fates, and said, "Aunt Li, Aunt Tao, when will your two families have their weddings? We are all looking forward to the wedding wine."

Madam He also said, "Yes, when will you two families hold the wedding? Speaking of which, Yuan Qing and Song Ying are of age now. If they get married soon, Aunt Tao, you can have a great-grandson."
