Chapter 176: Early Check-In
rother, please pick two baskets of fruit and deliver them to the courtyard. Tell the village head, and charge it to our family account.”"Okay! Don't worry, sir, I'll send them over as soon as I pick t...Jia Yin rushed to the door and saw Madam Cui getting out of the carriage. She was a little disappointed, but still smiled and rushed up, calling softly, "Auntie!"
"Did Fu Niu miss Auntie" Madam Cui hugged Jia Yin tightly and kissed her forehead softly, whispering, "Auntie brought you some delicious food. Eat it secretly tonight."
"Well, well! Thank you, Master Aunt. You're the best!" 。< "Jia Yin's smiling eyes narrowed." > 。She was fatter than other children in the village, and there was a reason for that. 。Whether it was Shigu, Wen, Young Master Ye, or even Liu Ziheng, whoever saw her would secretly slip her some delicious food. They were very enthusiastic about feeding her; it would be difficult for her not to gain weight. 。Li Laotai came out of the door and, hearing Jia Yin's thanks, guessed what had happened and smiled, "Jinerou, if you keep feeding her like this, she'll be as round as a ball. " 。Mrs. Cui didn't mind. “The little girl is even cuter being chubby, she used to share her food with me in the mountains before. Now that we are doing well, I'll send her some gifts back.” 。Upon hearing this, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yur, who had just come out, both laughed. “Come in quickly, everyone, and sit down.” 。"No, I'm busy with other things." 。Mrs. Cui waved her hand and pointed to a line of carriages behind her. 。I brought the wooden furniture and utensils. Didn't I say before that we were leaving the old set from the Jiaojiazhuang to you It's all in the car. 。 。" As she spoke, Aunt Qiao had already brought ten or so maidservants and started carrying things down. " 。Today, half the men in the village are working on the mountain, and the other half are finishing up with Master Yan in the valley. 。For a while, there was nobody around, but when the women heard the commotion, they all rushed over to help. 。I have to say, the Li family really got a good deal. 。The Jiao family was overjoyed to marry their daughter into the Marquis's mansion, and everything they prepared for her was of the finest quality. 。Though not made of rosewood or yellow flower pear, which are precious woods, the wooden furniture brought out from this estate is still made of red sandalwood. The color is bright and lustrous, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. 。An eight-immortal table, an official hat chair, a desk with a single raised panel, drum stools, antique shelves, four-cornered chests inlaid with gold and so on. It truly has everything, each piece is both beautiful and practical. 。The Li family didn't understand the intricacies of woodworking, but they could tell that this set of furniture must be very expensive, at least a few hundred taels. 。Li Laotai then felt a little regretful, "Jinerou ah, these things are too precious. You should take them back. Our family just uses some ordinary tables and chairs." 。Mrs. Cui, of course, refused. She stepped forward and took hold of Old Mrs. Li's arm, mimicking Jia Yin's voice and acting coquettishly 。"Aunt mustn't go back on her word, she promised beforehand that the Jiao family used Hu Lao San to scheme against our family, and even made Fu Niu and her parents suffer." 。"This set of wooden furniture is the apology gift from the Jiao family!"
She pointed to the distance, "Besides, I also got a piece of farmland. My aunt didn't even want this old set of wooden furniture, wouldn't that make my farmland even more suspicious" 。Everyone burst into laughter. Before anyone could say another word, Jia Yin had already scrambled onto the Eight Immortals table with all her might, pushing off the stool with her legs and sitting firmly. She smiled, revealing a row of white teeth that glistened in the sunlight. 。In her past life, although she had a small fortune, she couldn't afford such fine wood. 。Now I actually have the whole set, I'm even happier than finding gold! "Funiu this little money lover, she got the best spot!" Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and playfully slapped her on the butt. 。The crowd laughed even more, and the old woman no longer refused. 。This is a gift from the Jiao family, but also Mrs. Cui's heartfelt wish. And our household does need it, so we'll gladly accept it. In the future, we will take good care of Mrs. Cui. 。She has no parents, here she only has some old friends, also lonely, it makes people feel sorry for her. 。At that moment, the gate opened and everyone moved inside to carry things. 。Everyone in the village envied and loved them, surrounding these wooden objects, touching this one here, looking at that one there. 。Old Lady Li asked Madam Cui, "Jiner, have you arranged the wooden furniture in your courtyard"Madam Cui nodded, and Old Lady Li said, "Then I'll divide some of these pieces for Young Master Ye." 。He is fighting outside and has no time to attend to these matters. 。As soon as she finished speaking, Dongmei, who was helping to wipe the wooden furniture with water, spoke up. 。"Don't worry, madam. My eldest son Da Shan has already gone back to get things." 。I was originally thinking of waiting a few days, until our home is settled, before tidying up our courtyard. But today, I might as well just get it all done at once. 。Okay, okay, let's get to work together today. 。"The old woman nodded. 'The village head has settled with Wang from the neighboring village. Five days later will be a good day for relocation. We'll have a nice feast then, to celebrate.'" 。" Ah, when the time comes, Redying will surely show off her skills!" 。"Yeah, the last time I ate red braised pork stewed by Hongying was in Junyang. I didn't expect that less than a year later, we would be here guarding the hot springs and living our lives." 。"So, when you encounter difficulties, don't be afraid. Just grit your teeth and persevere, put all your strength into it, and you can get through anything." 。" Isn't that right The other day, people at the big locust tree even asked how old my son is. They must see that our family will be prosperous in the future and want to marry their daughter into our family." 。"Don't worry, just wait a little longer. What if she's a bad-tempered girl and causes trouble in our village" 。Wait until things settle down, let the village head and the others get used to it, then we can talk about this. 。" I think so too. 。The women chatted as they worked, their smiles brighter than the finest flowers blooming on this spring day. 。Mrs. Cui sat on the steps holding Jiayin, her eyes and ears watching and listening, a smile never leaving her face. 。She was willing to come to Li's house and move around the village, not only because of the life-saving grace she owed them, but also because of this lively atmosphere, this human fireworks. 。Jia Yin was also watching with great interest. This is what life is all about, a happy life!At noon, Ye Shan also brought four carriages over. There were wooden utensils, pots and pans, food and oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, everything you could need. 。There were several members of Li's family, including his wife and daughter-in-law, who brought Dongmei. They had another busy meal together. 。When it got dark, the three houses finally had a general shape. 。Both the main room and the east and west rooms had their kang beds burning, making them warm and cozy. Lying on them, you wouldn't want to get up. 。Especially Li Laosan and Li Laosi, those brothers of theirs, after a day's worth of strenuous labor, were now lying on the kang, feeling the warmth radiating from it on their aching backs. It felt like half the fatigue of the day had vanished. 。Old Lady Li couldn't bear to be separated from her son, so she brought the food here and they all ate together. In the evening, they slept here instead of going back home. 。On the day of moving, they moved out the iron pot and placed it on the stove in the kitchen. That officially marked the move. 。It's not a bad idea to stay here for a few nights, even if it's simple. 。The Cui family's place wasn't as neat as the Li family's, and Mrs. Cui also enjoyed lively gatherings. So she decided to join the Li family matriarch and her daughters-in-law for a night on the kang. 。 Qiong Sao sent over a box, inside were two roasted chickens. They were the kind with crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. 。The dim oil lamp shone on the two roasted chickens, making them seem to glow. 。Even Li Laotai couldn't help but swallow her saliva, let alone Jia Yin. Her saliva flowed like a spring, unstoppable. 。She scrambled into Lady Cui's arms in a few moves, hugging Lady Cui's neck, "Auntie Teacher, I want to eat, I want to eat!"Lady Cui didn't say a word, she pulled a large chicken leg and shoved it into her hand. 。Just as Jia Yin was about to take a bite, her hand slipped and sent the drumstick to Mrs. Cui's mouth first. 。 face contorted in pleading as he said, “In the future, could Miss perhaps visit the Marquis’s mansion more often Even twice a month would be great! The Marquis is frequently away from home. Although...
