Ji Jingbai continued: "This basket is a gift for my uncle and my third uncle's family." As he said that, he looked at Ye Guoguo, "My uncle was in charge of your marriage to me, and my third uncle also helped a lot.

." Looking at Ji Daya again, "You have been taken care of by your uncle and third uncle for so many years, you should thank them."

After a pause, he added: "When we come back from worshiping, we will go and thank them."

After going to the mountain to worship his grandparents and parents, Ji Jingbai took Ye Guoguo and Ji Daya, and brought gifts to his uncle and third uncle's house to express his gratitude.

The gifts prepared for both families are the same: a small jar of wine, a bag of sugar, two kilograms of pork, five kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of polished rice, and ten feet of cloth of the same color.

Such a gift is already considered very, very important in the eyes of farmers.

This time we went to Uncle Jishan’s house first.

Ji Shan was shocked when he saw the gift and asked Ji Jingbai to take it back quickly, but Ji Jingbai naturally refused. Ji Daya even kowtowed to Ji Shan and Ji Shan's wife.

Ji Shan's face collapsed, but Ji Shan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gu, immediately became red-eyed, and together with her 14-year-old daughter Ji Mingyue, hurriedly helped Ji Daya up.

"Okay, okay, good boy, get up quickly, your brother is back, and you will have a good life in the future." It was so hard in the past, and Mrs. Gu, the eldest uncle, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help it.

I'm happy for Ji Daya's future.

Ji Daya's eyes were red as a result.

Ye Guoguo didn't say anything, but just stood beside her husband-in-law obediently.

When Ji Shan saw his wife and daughter pulling Ji Daya to sit down again, he turned to Ji Jingbai and said, "I went to your house this morning and wanted to ask you to come for dinner tonight, but you and your wife went to town."

I picked up Da Ya, but I didn’t tell you, and it’s the same now. I saw you busy in and out of the house before, so I delayed asking you to eat until now. It’s so rare for you to come back. After so many years, you must have this face.

I want to give it to my uncle."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I must come for dinner tonight. It just so happens that Minghui will be back today. Then you brothers will have a good chat in the evening."

In addition to their daughter Ji Mingyue, Ji Shan and Gu also have a son named Ji Minghui.

Ji Minghui is one year younger than Ji Jingbai. He is studying in a school in the town. He can come back once a month and stay for two days. He has been admitted to the scholar examination and is preparing to take the judicial examination in August this year.

The reason why Ji Shan became the village chief has a lot to do with his son Ji Minghui's admission into the scholar program.

Among these eight villages in ten miles, Ji Minghui is the only scholar.

However, because Ji Minghui focused on studying and wanted to serve as an official, he had no intention of marrying a wife. In addition, Ji Shan also hoped that he would be able to honor his ancestors even more. Therefore, Ji Shan has not made arrangements for him to marry a wife yet.

Studying was very expensive, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were all expensive. Jishan's family had a hard time.

But because the son is the only scholar in the ten miles and eight villages, there are many people supporting his family, so although the family's life is not easy, they can still get by.

"Brother often exaggerates that my cousin is good at studying, but it's a pity..." Ji Mingyue started talking, but quickly stopped.

Ye Guoguo blinked and said nothing.

Ji Shan sighed and said, "I'm shocked. If you hadn't joined the army, let alone a scholar, you would have passed the imperial examination. I think back then, all the teachers in the school who didn't praise you said you were the top scholar.

You must have passed three yuan, and then you didn't even need to pay for repairs. They gave you a separate room to live in, and they all devoted themselves to cultivating you. I still remember that when you first joined the army, there were teachers from the school who came to your home to see you.
