Chapter 413 I just want to ask
As the saying goes, everything prospers when the family is in harmony.
Especially for their big family.
Therefore, it is certainly a very good thing that Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others can take the initiative to show such great kindness to Luo Huijuan and others.
Soon after, when Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others were aroused, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others also quickly prepared the remaining dishes, and then greeted everyone into the house to eat.
Since there were a large number of people, two Kang tables were placed directly on the Kang.
Then, headed by Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan, they sat on the main seat.
On their left, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others sat, while on their right, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others sat, clearly distinguishing each other.
During the meal, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others kept picking up food for Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, as if they were afraid that they would be hungry.
After finishing the meal, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and did not let Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others do it at all.
This also made Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others feel embarrassed.
After all, if we really talk about it, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others didn't owe them anything. Naturally, they couldn't accept the services of Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping so easily.
In the end, it was Li Guoqiang who spoke up and handed over the cleaning work to Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, which finally eased the atmosphere.
In fact, the reason why Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others were like this was because they had no money in their stomachs, so they unconsciously felt inferior in front of Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others.
In order to consolidate their position in Li Guoqiang's heart, they poured their enthusiasm into Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others.
Another reason is that Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others are pregnant women. They are worried about any accidents, so they dare not let Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others do any work.
Li Guoqiang also saw this, so he took the initiative to share the work with Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to avoid the burden on Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others.
All in all, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
And Jianghu is all about human relations and sophistication.
If you want their big family to live happily, someone must mediate.
However, they have just started living together now, and many things cannot be rushed.
Both Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan understand this very well.
It was so noisy and busy that the time soon reached two o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Huijuan took Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping and sat on the kang, curiously asking about the New Year customs here.
Naturally, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping knew everything about this.
Among them, other things were fine, but the matter of killing the New Year pig immediately aroused the interest of Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others.
"If you want to see the New Year pig being killed, then wait until early tomorrow morning to see it."
When Qu Yinfeng saw that Luo Huijuan and others were interested in killing the New Year pig, he hurriedly smiled and said.
However, she thought of something as soon as she finished speaking, and her brows suddenly wrinkled, and then she continued to warn: "But you are all pregnant now. According to the custom here, you cannot watch killing."
Hearing this, before Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others could speak, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "It's okay. Just don't watch the pig killing. When the pig is killed, you can go over and watch." .”
"That's okay!"
After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng immediately spoke in agreement.
Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others all had a look of joy on their faces.
After all, in this winter, it’s hard to come across something interesting. If you can’t take a look, it would be too boring.
"Speaking of which, the most powerful person who kills pigs within a radius of dozens of miles around us is Hadron!"
Xu Yuping saw Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others smiling, and hurriedly said a compliment.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others immediately became more enthusiastic and looked at Li Guoqiang, as if they had seen Li Guoqiang showing off his power.
Li Guoqiang, on the other hand, looked indifferent to this.
For him, killing the New Year pig is not something worth looking forward to.
If possible, he still hopes to sit aside and eat melon seeds to watch the excitement, and wait for the pig to be killed before eating a bowl of delicious pig-killing vegetables.
However, now in the entire Jinshan Fort, apart from Xu Guangshou, he is the only one with the best pig-killing skills.
According to the rules, tomorrow Xu Guangshou will be the father-in-law and marry his daughter-in-law. As the head of the family, naturally he cannot kill pigs with a knife.
So if nothing else goes wrong, this job will really have to fall on him.
Fortunately, he is not a naughty person, and it is rare to encounter the happy event of marrying a wife during the Chinese New Year, so he should contribute.
While Luo Huijuan and others were chatting and talking about the custom of performing Yangko on the first day of the new year, Li Xiuqin suddenly came to the door with some workers from the apiary, carrying some mushrooms, fungus, vermicelli and other dry goods.
Afterwards, they didn't stay too long. They just exchanged brief greetings with Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others before putting down their things and leaving.
Obviously, they came here specifically to give gifts to Li Guoqiang, the person in charge of the apiary.
Although the gifts are all not very valuable mountain goods, they are still more or less sincere, and even if word spreads, there is no need to worry about people gossiping.
This made Li Guoqiang guess at once that it was Xu Guangfu who gave Li Xiuqin and others the idea behind his back. On the one hand, he wanted to create momentum for him as the person in charge of the apiary, and on the other hand, he also wanted to give Li Guoqiang's family a boost. , get some dry goods for the New Year.
Should he say it or not, Xu Guangfu, a cheap father-in-law, was quite fond of him.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he took out some aged wine and candies, peanuts, melon seeds, biscuits, etc. from the small world, and then took Luo Huijuan, Zhu Caixia, and Xu Dani, two little girls, to drive a red deer cart throughout the whole place. Jinshanbao went around and gave something to every household.
Although the amount of things is not very large, it is still able to express one's feelings to avoid people saying that he, the God of Wealth, is too arrogant and out of touch with the masses.
In addition, this also allows the villagers to get to know Luo Huijuan, the real lady, to avoid some people who like to gossip from talking behind their backs.
Even if he is not afraid of these gossips, it is a good thing to be able to worry less.
By the time he came back from his transfer, it was past five o'clock in the evening and the sky was getting dark.
At this time, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others had already prepared hot water and dinner at home, and also lit several kerosene lamps.
Under the orange flame of the kerosene lamp, delicate and white faces were reflected.
When they saw Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan coming back, they hurriedly said hello with a smile, and then urged Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan to take a bath.
Speaking of which, they have never tried playing on the kang in this snowy day!
Moreover, if nothing else happens, they will have more teammates this time, and finally they no longer have to worry about making Li Guoqiang angry.
Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan saw that Shang Xiuzhen and others were so interested, so naturally they would not be disappointed, and quickly went to the bathhouse with a change of clothes. Since the bathhouse here uses a large earthenware jar, someone has to be there to wait on Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others while they are taking a bath.
At this time, this task naturally fell on Li Guoqiang.
Fortunately, they are already an old married couple, so they don't have to worry about making people laugh. Instead, they feel quite warm.
While washing, Luo Huijuan stretched out her hand to caress her round belly, and then asked softly: "Qiangzi, do you think I am pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
"What?"
Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Nothing!"
Luo Huijuan shook her head, and then said playfully: "I just want to ask."
"Yeah!"
Li Guoqiang pondered for a moment, and then asked seriously: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"This"

Luo Huijuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "Can there be truth and lies in this?"
"Of course!"
Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "If you want to hear lies, then I can only say that I don't know. If you want to hear the truth."
At this point, he deliberately stopped and then looked at Luo Huijuan narrowly.
"Hey!"
When Luo Huijuan saw this, she became a little anxious and quickly asked: "You want to continue talking?"
"Ha!"
Li Guoqiang felt happy, and then he laughed and said: "The truth is that there are three boys in your belly!"
"Really?"
Luo Huijuan's eyes widened, and then she asked in disbelief: "How did you see it?"
"How else can this be seen?"
Li Guoqiang's expression became serious, and then he said seriously: "Of course I took the pulse!"
"Oh!"
When Luo Huijuan heard this, she nodded doubtfully.
Because she didn't know if taking her pulse could really tell whether she was carrying a boy or a girl.
If this is true, that's a great thing.
And if it was fake, then she would have a headache by then.
After all, there have been some fights over family inheritance since ancient times.
Especially those whose families have better conditions and more resources will fight to the death for the position of the head of the family.
Under such circumstances, if she could give birth to her eldest son, she would naturally be able to avoid a lot of trouble.
And if she gave birth to girls, it would be difficult to avoid someone being interested in her.
"Okay!"
When Li Guoqiang saw Luo Huijuan's pensive look, his mind changed and he could easily guess what she was thinking. Then he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it so much. We'll talk about the future later." br>
In my opinion, I like it equally whether you have a boy or a girl.
Moreover, you know best what our family is like.
Even if a successor to the family is to be chosen, it will have to be at least fifty or sixty years later.
By then, our children will already be in their fifties and sixties and will definitely not be suitable to be heirs, so we can only choose among our grandchildren.
As for the situation of our grandchildren, none of us knows what it will be like, so don't worry about it. ”
"Okay!"
When Luo Huijuan heard these words, thinking of Li Guoqiang's extremely strong physique and the miraculous effect of delaying aging, the entanglement in her heart disappeared in an instant.
After all, judging from this situation, if Li Guoqiang is to abdicate, it will have to wait at least seventy or eighty years.
In such a long time, no matter who it is, it is impossible to replace Li Guoqiang as the head of the family, so naturally there is no need to care whether the eldest son she gives birth to is the eldest son.
Without the pressure, her mood immediately became much more relaxed and happy, and she even had the interest to go fishing and walking birds.
When Li Guoqiang saw Luo Huijuan like this, he immediately felt funny, and not long after, he hurriedly pulled Luo Huijuan up and returned to the house.
At this time, Qu Yinfeng had already taken the two little girls Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani back to their own room. Only Xu Yuping and Zhu Caiyan were left, slightly uneasy and awkward, accompanying Shang Xiuzhen and others.
Although they had never tried to practice group gymnastics before, they all had the same statusless status at that time, but it was different now. Now in front of Luo Huijuan, a real lady, they would inevitably feel some pressure in their hearts.
What's more, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others are all carrying a ball. What if they accidentally hit it?
So when Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan came in, they immediately became excited and stared at Luo Huijuan, wondering what they should do later.
Luo Huijuan walked into the room and took a quick look, then walked straight to Xu Yuping and Zhu Caiyan and sat down. Then she put her mouth to their ears and whispered a few words.
When Xu Yuping and Zhu Caiyan heard what Luo Huijuan said, their faces turned red and warm, and then they nodded silently to express their understanding.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others all got into bed in tacit understanding.
Li Guoqiang, on the other hand, stepped forward very naturally and began to sit in rows to divide the fruits.
At the end of the day, Xu Yuping and Zhu Caiyan had to keep the rest of the juice.
Moreover, after all this busy work, it was past one o'clock in the morning before I knew it.
It can be seen that sometimes too many people participating in a competition is not a good thing.
Fortunately, Li Guoqiang was already very experienced as a referee, so he took good care of every participating team member.
Immediately afterwards, he slept for less than three hours before Qu Yinfeng woke him up.
When he quietly got up, got dressed and went out to take a look, he discovered that at some point, a large bonfire had been lit in their yard, which directly illuminated the yard.
