After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 133 Top beam

In the following time, Jiang Xiaohe either stayed at home or at Aunt Hua's house. If they had any questions about the furniture she was going to make, they would discuss it with each other.

Another ten days or half a month passed, and the weather was getting colder and colder. I was so tired in the morning that I had to do some housework. It was finally time to put up the beams of the house.

Raising the beam is a big event for farmers. They have to ask the villagers for help and treat them to a meal.

Jiang Xiaohe went to the town earlier and ordered half a piece of pork and bought a lot of flour.

We invited a Taoist priest to calculate an auspicious day and then prepared to put up the beam.

The family started preparing it a day in advance.

Wang Qiuxia held a basket of borrowed bowls and asked Jiang Xiaohe, "Have you invited everyone in this village?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "No, I didn't invite anyone who doesn't get along with our family."

"Wouldn't this be good?"

"What's wrong with that, mother? Don't forget that Li Taohua and Zhang Long didn't invite us to their wedding."

"If they invite me, I still won't go."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled: "That's it."

Wang Qiuxia thought about it and said: "Okay, as you say, go to your Aunt Hua's house and get a stool."

Jiang Xiaohe passed the card in her hand to Wang Xiaoya and left.

When I went out, I ran into Wang Dayi.

"Uncle, you're here. Where are my grandparents?"

Wang Dayi smiled and said, "Your grandparents have difficulty walking, so they won't come."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded and turned to leave. Wang Dayi quickly asked, "What can I do to help?"

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but smile: "You just arrived, take a rest. I'll tell you to do something later!" After that, she went to Aunt Hua's house.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the yard, she heard a quarrel in Aunt Hua's house. Jiang Xiaohe frowned slightly. She didn't want to listen to gossip in other people's families, but when she heard a few words from Sister Jiang, she immediately leaned against the gate and listened.

I could only hear Zhang Chuntao crying and saying, "Sister Jiang can go out and do business, why can't I?"

Then Aunt Hua said, "What business can a little girl like you run? Besides, you are almost reaching marriage age, it's not good to always be in the spotlight!"

But then the sound of Zhang Chuntao crying was heard again, and then nothing happened.

Jiang Xiaohe sighed and knocked on the door. She heard Aunt Hua's voice from inside: "Someone is coming. Hurry up and wipe your tears. It will be embarrassing if others see you."

After waiting for a while, the gate of the courtyard opened.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Aunt Hua, I'm here to borrow a stool. We're going to put up the beams at home tomorrow, and we need to set up several tables."

Aunt Hua quickly stepped aside and said, "Your mother has already told me that everything is ready for you. I will help you move it."

"Thank you Aunt Hua."

That night, the yard was busy until very late. Jiang Xiaohe felt as if she had just fallen asleep and had to get up again. Zhang Chuan, on the other hand, was still sleeping soundly.

Jiang Xiaohe rubbed his face and got up.

The yard was bustling with activity. Everyone in the family except Zhang Chuan had gotten up. Wang Xiaoya was helping to wash the vegetables. Jiang Xiaohe said, "Wash them with hot water. Don't let them get cold."

"Don't worry, aunt, my aunt has made some hot water."

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Hua and Li Cuihong from next door came to help.

After Jiang Xiaohe simply washed up, she also helped with some chores and washed the borrowed bowls with wood ash.

Li Cuihong almost laughed her face off when she saw how much pork, chicken, and fish they had prepared.

"Whose beams are as generous as yours? All meat and vegetables."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "The only thing here is the pork that was bought. The chickens are from her second aunt's house, and the fish were all caught by Xiaohe herself in the river, so it didn't cost much."

"Sister Wang, you can't say that. It looks like a lot of effort has been put into this. Don't you agree?"

Everyone laughed.

Aunt Hua continued, "Look at the house they built. It looks like it was built by a wealthy family in town. I'm afraid it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It was all earned by Xiao He. She said that if it was going to be repaired, it should be repaired all at once, so as to avoid having to repair it again later."

Having said this, everyone present would envy her family for marrying Jiang Xiaohe.

Although the mountain was gone, she, a little widow, managed to hold on through the day.

Aunt Hua couldn't help but say, "Your Xiao He is really capable."

In the yard, tables and chairs were set out, and in the house, basket after basket of meat buns were steamed.

Jiang Xiaohe carried two baskets and went to the next door, and Wang Daya followed her with hot water.

As soon as they arrived at the construction site, Jiang Xiaohe shouted, "Baozi is here!"

As soon as these words were shouted, the crowd gathered immediately.

When you bite into this big bun, it is full of stuffing. The villagers who came to help were amazed.

"Hey, this is a big meat bun!"

"Oh, that's right!"

"The Zhang family is spending a lot of money."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's been a long time since daybreak. Everyone came to help."

As he said this, he took out a bowl and scooped water for everyone.

After finishing two baskets of buns, everyone still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Jiang Xiaohe said: "Thank you for your hard work, there will be delicious food at noon later."

Everyone smiled and nodded, and worked harder.

When it came to the middle beam, Jiang Xiaohe specially invited Zhang Shunchang to come, which was considered to be giving enough face to the village chief.

It was finally time for lunch at noon, and the fragrance from next door had already wafted in.

Everyone put down their work and went to Zeng Hua's house. Surprisingly, there were some uninvited guests among them.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the families of Wu Youhua and Li Taohua in the crowd, frowned slightly, and was about to walk forward.

Wang Qiuxia held her back and said, "Xiao He, forget it. We've cooked a lot today anyway. It's a great day. There's no need to get angry with them."

Chen Xiuqun also came up to persuade her: "That's right, it's not worth it if they make a scene on such a nice day."

Seeing that both of them were persuading her like this, Jiang Xiaohe nodded, thinking to herself that it was true. It would not be worth it if such a great day was ruined by these two families. It was just a matter of giving the two families a meal, so she said nothing more and carried the tray with Zhang Danniu to serve dishes to each table.

Zhang Shunchang was arranged to sit at the host's house, accompanied by Zhang Fu, Zhang Quan and others, and wine had already been poured.

Jiang Xiaohe served the dishes and said to everyone, "Thank you all for coming to help today. Eat well and drink well."

As soon as she finished speaking, the meal began.

Everyone couldn't help themselves when looking at the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table. As soon as they saw they were ready to eat, they gobbled them up in no time.

Everyone at other tables was very harmonious, but the table where Wu Youhua was sitting started to quarrel.

Jiang Xiaohe and her family were eating in the kitchen. When they heard the quarrel, they ran out to see what was going on. When they saw that it was Wu Youhua's table and Wu Youhua was yelling loudly, Jiang Xiaohe instantly became angry.
