Good luck every time

As the noise grew, the yard became more and more lively.

Weddings in the village are all held in the evening, and wedding banquets are also held at night.

The bride and groom had been busy since morning. The people in the village also knew how to slaughter pigs and sheep. However, Li Ruyi heard that the slaughter was not done here, but in a small yard in the backyard. They had to wait until everything was cleaned up before they could move the meat here.

The backyard is more lively than the front yard, some are building stoves, some are preparing food.

Tables, chairs and benches were all put up.

I heard that everyone in the village will celebrate together tonight.

Li Ruyi did not run around, but sat in the house and chatted with people who came in.

After a while, there were more and more idle people in the room.

Some people didn't say anything and just listened. There were also some who liked to show off and boasted to Li Ruyi, but they didn't say much.

Most of them are gossips about other people.

Li Ruyi would also ask about some people's livelihood issues, such as whether there were many carpenters and bricklayers in the village, how much money there was to be made from the land, and whether there were any inconveniences in daily life.

Everyone is used to saving money, and no one feels it is inconvenient. If something breaks at home, they fix it themselves. If they can't fix it themselves, they ask others to fix it. If others can't fix it either, they consider replacing it.

But when you get to this stage, you will find that some things are not so necessary...

Apart from the necessary food, water and salt, everyone can make do with anything.

Occasionally there is a spirit of competition among the villagers, but this place is too far away from the county town. Even if you take the shortest route, it will take a whole day to get there.

Two or three days passed in the return trip.

The village will only organize people to go to the county when it is necessary.

Li Ruyi listened and thought about it in his mind.

If the other party really buys salt from her, how can she operate?

However, the premise of these ideas still depends on whether the salt sale can be negotiated.

As the sun sets, the sky becomes less bright, but the bustle increases instead of decreasing.

Someone was shouting at people to hang lanterns.

Strings of red lanterns were hung up.

The aroma of the food filled the entire yard, making Li Ruyi, who had only eaten two dry biscuits at noon, drool.

The people sitting in the house chatting also began to distract themselves as the aroma spread.

The children could not resist even more. They didn't even want to listen to the hustle and bustle in the county town and ran out to coax the cook to give them some meat.

If an opening is made, there will be a circle of children around it immediately.

The table is set with dishes and chopsticks.

However, the wedding banquet had not started yet. Everyone was calculating the time, and someone asked the people in the house to go and pick up the bride.

The bride was not originally from the village, but her aunt married here.

Later, her father died, and her mother could not live with her, so she came to the village to live with her aunt and settled down in the village.

Li Ruyi didn't need to ask about these gossips, they just kept pouring them into her ears.

When the bride was picked up, everyone went out to watch the fun, and suddenly more than half of the people in the yard were gone.

Li Ruyi locked his box and placed it in an inconspicuous place in the room before getting up and walking to the door.

In her box was the money from the transaction, as well as the crossbow that Han Shian gave her. She was worried about leaving it too far away.

After a while, there was a lot of noise outside, as if the groom was passing by the door to pick up his bride, and some people were too lazy to move and just started to make a fuss.

Li Ruyi stood on tiptoe and stretched her head to look outside.

An aunt who was busy cutting vegetables saw her like this and smiled brightly.

"Hey! Little peddler, why don't you go out and take a look too!"

Li Ruyi heard her talking and shook her head.

"I won't go. It's such a happy occasion, don't do it to others."

After hearing this, the aunt looked at her with a much gentler look.

She chatted with Li Ruyi while she worked.

"How can your family be so confident that you can come out at such a young age?"

Li Ruyi couldn't see anything through the courtyard wall, so she turned her attention back to chatting with her aunt.

"Hey, there's nothing to worry about. It's just a way to make a living."

After hearing this, the aunt looked at her curiously.

"Where are your parents? Don't they care?"

Li Ruyi knew that some things could not be concealed, and the backer she created for herself was not her parents but her clan.

There are many children without parents these days, but as long as they have the protection of their clan, no one dares to bully them.

"They are all gone! I live with my elder sister and younger sister in the clan. The elders in the clan wanted to help me find a way out. They originally said they would find me a job in the county, starting as an apprentice. They said I could become a skilled worker in less than ten years. But after working for a while, I quit because I thought the money was too little!"

"It's good this way now. It's better to be helpful to others than to work for others for nothing."

Li Ruyi has said this many times. She wants to establish herself as someone who has her own ideas, brains and ambitions.

This is the only way to make people ignore her age and trust her.

When my aunt heard this, she didn't quite agree.

"It's better to have a skill. It's always good to have many skills!"

Li Ruyi smiled proudly after hearing this.

"I became an apprentice to learn a skill. Look, I made the boxes for selling goods myself!"

"He was unwilling to teach me. I worked for him from dawn to dusk every day, repeating the same thing every day, moving tables, chairs, benches, tables, chairs, benches. If I wanted to be his disciple, he told me I would need two strings of silver. When the clan heard about it, they wanted to help me pay for it, but there were so many things I could do with the two strings of silver. Why did I have to work for him for nothing?"

What Li Ruyi said was not false. In her previous life, she really wanted to find a proper disciple, but the other party did not want her.

The two strings of cash were real, and she spent them, gratefully learning the basics.

After hearing this, my aunt felt both fondness and sympathy for her.

In her impression, Li Ruyi is a pragmatic and thoughtful child.

If you put it in her home, she might find it unpleasant and worry about this and that, but if you put it in someone else's home and admire it, it will be a different story.

"That's true, but being a peddler is hard work. In the future, you will marry and have children, and you will be separated from your husband and wife every day. It's better to have a skill."

Li Ruyi did not refute. The clothes this aunt was wearing were made of the same material as the shorts worn by the boss today. It was hard to say whether they were related, but what if?

She doesn't need to offend anyone.

"I originally thought so, but the clan took care of us for the sake of my parents, so we can't just rely on others. Although I am young, I also understand the importance of affection. The less we use, the less we have."

After hearing this, the aunt stopped what she was doing, looked at Li Ruyi's little head, and felt that she liked the child even more.

"Don't think I came out alone, but you don't know how many people are jealous of my job! Although they are older than me, they are not as good as me."

"When I go back this time, the tribe will definitely treat me differently."

The aunt understood what Li Ruyi meant.

She was doing things for the clan, and the salt business was their ancestral business.

In this way, age really doesn't seem to be an issue.

She stretched her back, relaxed herself, then picked up the kitchen knife again and continued preparing the food.

"By the way, the room you live in doesn't have doors or windows, which is not convenient. The mountain breeze is cold at night, so you can go to the room at the back. The doors and windows there are locked. You can put your things there and join the others in the front yard to have some fun."
