Chapter 176 Early Check-in

Jiayin rushed to the door and happened to see Mrs. Cui getting off the carriage. She was a little disappointed, but she still rushed forward with a smile and sweetly shouted, "Senior Sister!"

"Fu Niu misses Senior Aunt?" Mrs. Cui hugged Jiayin, happily kissed her on the forehead, and whispered, "Senior Aunt has brought you delicious food. Let's eat secretly at night."

"Yeah, um! Thank you, aunt, aunt, she's the best." Jiayin's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

There is a reason why she is fatter than other children in the village.

Whether it was Senior Sister, Mr. Wen, Mr. Ye, or even Liu Zhiheng, everyone who saw her would secretly feed her some delicious food and feed her very actively. It was difficult for her not to gain weight.

Old Mrs. Li came out of the door and thanked her for the good news. She guessed it and smiled, "Jinrou, if you keep feeding her like this, this girl will be as fat as a ball."

Mrs. Cui didn't take it seriously, "The little girl is chubby and cuter. Before in the mountains, this child shared my food. Now that our life is better, I will give more gifts in return."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, who were greeted by these words, both laughed and said, "Quick, everyone come inside and sit down."

“No, I still have things to do.” Mrs. Cui waved her hand and pointed to the carriage behind her.

"I have brought the wooden utensils and supplies. Didn't I tell you before that I would leave you the old ones from Jiaojiazhuangzi? They are all in the car. Auntie, let's see if there is anything missing. I will ask the carpenter to make them."

While she was talking, Sister-in-law Qiong had already brought a dozen servant girls and boys to start moving things down.

Today, half of the men in the village are working in the mountains, and the other half are finishing up in the valley with Mr. Yan.

There was no manpower for a while, but when women from various families heard the noise, they all ran to help.

I have to say that the Li family really took advantage.

The Jiao family was happy to marry their daughter into the Marquis's mansion, and all the things prepared for her daughter were of the best quality.

 with with bright colors and exquisite workmanship.

Eight Immortals tables, official hat chairs, tea tables, drum stools, ancient racks, suitcases with gold corners, etc., are all available, and each one is beautiful and practical.

The Li family is not knowledgeable, but they can also see that this set of wooden utensils must be very expensive, at least a few hundred taels.

Mrs. Li regretted a little, "Jinrou, these things are too expensive. You should take them back. We can just use ordinary tables and chairs at home."

Of course Mrs. Cui refused. She stepped forward and hugged Old Mrs. Li's arm, imitating Jiayin's coquettishness.

"Auntie, please don't go back on your word. We made it as we agreed at the beginning. The Jiao family sent Hu Laosan to scheme against our family, and Fu Niu and her parents suffered injustice. This set of wooden utensils is the Jiao family's apology!"

She pointed in the distance, "Besides, I got a village. My aunt doesn't even want a set of old wooden utensils. I'm even more guilty of getting the village."

Everyone started laughing, and if there was anything else to say, Jiayin was already kicking her legs hard, stepping on the drum stool, and climbed onto the Eight Immortals table. She was sitting squarely, smiling with her little white teeth shining brightly in the sun.

In her previous life, although she had a small fortune, she could not afford such fine woodware.

Now that I actually got the complete set, I am even happier than finding gold!

“Fu Niu, a little money-lover, has taken a position now!” Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and slapped her on the butt.

Everyone laughed even more, and the old lady stopped refusing.

This is an apology from the Jiao family, and it is also Mrs. Cui's wish. If the family really needs it, then accept it generously and take more care of Mrs. Cui in the future.

She has no parents, only some old friends here, and she is also lonely, which makes people feel sad.

Suddenly, the door opened and everyone moved in.

The whole village is envious and fond of these wooden utensils, touching them here and looking at them there.

Old Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Cui, "Jinrou, have you arranged all the woodware in your yard?" Mrs. Cui nodded, and Old Mrs. Li said, "Then let me divide these woodenware into Young Master Ye. He is fighting outside. , I don’t have time to take care of this.”

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Dongmei, who was helping to fetch water and wipe the wood, spoke.

“Don’t worry, old lady, my Dashan has already gone back to pull things. I originally thought that we would tidy up our yard after our family has settled down in a few days, but today we have finished all the work.”

"Okay, okay, let's work together today." The old lady nodded, "The village chief is going to find the blind man in Xiaowang Village. It will be a good day to move in five days. Let's have a good meal and have fun."

The women all laughed, "Oh, Hongying will have to show off her skills when the time comes."

“Yes, the last time I ate Hongying’s braised pork was in Junyang. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, we are living here guarding the hot springs.”

“So, don’t be afraid when encountering difficulties. As long as you grit your teeth and hold on, use your strength in one place, you can get through anything.”

“Isn’t it true? The day before yesterday, someone asked me how old my boy was at the big locust tree. This is because we can’t go wrong in the future and want to marry our daughter over.”

"Don't be anxious. Just wait. If it is a girl with a bad personality, our village will be disturbed. We will wait until we settle down and let the village chief and others pass by before we talk about this matter."

"I think so too."

The women were working and talking at the same time, and the smiles on their faces were brighter than the best flowers in bloom on such a spring day.

Mrs. Cui sat on the steps holding the good news in her arms, listening with her eyes and ears, and couldn't help but keep smiling on her face.

She is willing to come to Li's house and walk around the village, not only because of the life-saving grace, but also because of the excitement and the atmosphere of the world.

The good news was also watched with great interest. This is life, a happy life!

At noon, Ye Shan also brought four carriages, including wooden utensils, pots and pans, grain, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family brought Dongmei and had a busy meal again.

When it got dark, the three families finally had a rough idea.

The big kangs in the east and west rooms of the main house were all set on fire. It was so warm that people would not want to get up even if they lay down on it.

Especially brothers Li Laosan and Li Laosi, who had been doing physical work for a day, and now being burned by the big kang on their backs, it seemed that half of the day's fatigue had been eliminated.

Old Mrs. Li was reluctant to part with her son, so she simply brought the food here. The whole family ate and slept here at night.

On the day of moving, if you take out the iron pot and put it in the stove, it will be considered as a formal move. Nowadays, simply staying for a few nights does not break the rules.

The Cui family is not as tidy as the Li family. Mrs. Cui also likes the excitement, so she simply came to sleep on the kang with the old lady Li and her daughters-in-law.

Sister-in-law Qiong brought over a box, which contained two roast chickens. The skin was crispy, but the chicken was well cooked and fragrant.

When the dim oil lamp shone on it, the two roast chickens seemed to be glowing.

Even Mrs. Li couldn't help but swallow her saliva, let alone the good news, her saliva was gurgling like spring water and couldn't stop.

She climbed into Mrs. Cui's arms in a few seconds, hugging Mrs. Cui's neck, "Sister, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Without saying a word, Mrs. Cui pulled out a big chicken drumstick and stuffed it into her hand.

Just when Jiayin was about to take a bite, he turned around and brought the drumstick to Mrs. Cui's mouth first.
