Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"He wanted to go pick up your grandma and your aunt and bring them back to the village to drink wine, but your aunt's children had a stomachache recently and were afraid to go out, so your grandma said she would not come back and stayed to help take care of the children."

Although Yang Huamei and Tan were unable to return to the village, Xu Yuanming came early in the morning to congratulate the fourth family on their new home.

The third girl understood now.

"After I finish taking care of things at home and with my eldest sister, I should go to the town to visit my aunt." The third girl thought silently in her heart. She will ask her second sister if she wants to go. If she does, they will go together.

Because we moved to a new house, the meals we used to entertain relatives and friends today were all cooked using the brand new stove in the fourth room.

Liu, Liu Jinchuan and Juer were the three chefs, while Yang Huaming and Kang Xiaozi were responsible for entertaining everyone.

The renovated west room now has four rooms. The one at the end on the left is the kitchen. Next to the kitchen is the main room. The two rooms to the right of the main room are where Yang Huaming and Liu sleep, and there is a separate guest room.

That guest room is reserved for the daughters and grandchildren of the fourth room. When they come back to their parents' home during the holidays, they can stay in the old Sifang house if there are few people. If there is no room for too many people, they can move to the new house.

The relatives and friends who came today, not counting the children, had nearly three tables for adults, and one more table would be needed if the children were included.

So, two tables were set up in the main room of the fourth room, and two more tables were set up in the yard.

The fourth room has three brand new round tables, and the fourth one was moved out from the east room where Old Yang and Mrs. Tan lived and was borrowed temporarily.

Old Yang was in a good mood today. He was sitting at the main seat at the eight-immortal table moved out from the east room in the yard, chatting with Old Sun, Old Jiang, Blacksmith Luo, the cattle dealer and several other old men who came to the banquet about all sorts of things.

There is a table in the main hall, where young men, such as Yang Yongqing and his friends, are playing a popular game of Pai Gow in the village. It has some gambling elements, but the bets are not big, and they just gamble for fun.

Although the women also had special tables and chairs for entertaining guests, they mostly spent their time looking around and touring the several new rooms in the four-bedroom apartment, wandering around the front and back yards, and chatting in groups of three or five.

As for the children, there is no need to say anything. On days like this, eating and drinking are secondary to them. The main thing is to have more friends to play happily together.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan from Yang Ruoqing's family were also among them. Because their parents were not around, the two little ones really broke free from the last restraint and played until they were sweating all over. Wang Cuilian and Sun could not keep up with them.

Fortunately, Shaoyao and Lily of the Valley were young and agile enough to follow. Otherwise, having a banquet on such an occasion today would have been a real torture in disguise for Sun and Wang Cuilian.

The luncheon banquet was very sumptuous.

Yang Huaming held up a wine glass and toasted every table. Liu also acted like a true hostess and sat at the women's table, inviting everyone to eat.

Relatives and friends send all kinds of blessings, and this atmosphere really gives people an illusion.

The third girl couldn't help but whisper to Ju'er, "Second sister, the atmosphere is so good today. If we stick a few big red wedding characters on the windows, it will be like our parents are getting married!"

Juer glanced at the third girl and saw that there was no mockery in her eyes, but that she was truly expressing her feelings.

Ju'er looked for Yang Huaming and Liu in the crowd, and couldn't help but sigh, "Although I didn't agree with my mother's family splitting up before, I hope that my parents can live with my brother and his wife, live in a big house, and take care of each other."

"But now, seeing that my parents have reconciled, I have changed my mind."

The third girl nodded and patted Juer's arm gently: "I think the same thing. I believe that big sister thinks the same thing."

"Compared to living under one roof for three generations, having parents living in harmony is better than anything else!"

Three generations live together in the same yard, but they quarrel and fight every day. Dad and mom haven't slept in the same room for several years.

Such family relationships are suffocating and may collapse at any time, so that these married daughters feel very restrained when they return to their parents' home, and gradually they don't want to come back.

Things were different afterwards. Dad and Mom reconciled and lived separately. They could come back at any time, not only to visit Dad and Mom, but also to avoid adding burden to their younger brother and sister-in-law. They tried their best not to disturb the young couple.

After the banquet ended that day, relatives and friends dispersed.

Yang Yongqing and a few others still stayed in the new house playing cards, drinking and snoring, and continued to help warm the house.

Juer, the third girl stayed to help Liu clean up the yard and the house.

Liu Jinchuan rushed over and tried to take over the work in their hands: "Two sisters, you finally came back to your parents' home, you go and rest, I will do these chores."

The third girl held Liu Jinchuan's shoulders and said gently, "Jinchuan, you are busy all day long, and you also have to take care of Liangliang. You must be tired enough."

"Now that we are back, don't treat us as outsiders. We will do the work and you can stay with Liangliang."

Juer also said, "Yes, I saw Liangliang yawned several times before. The little guy might be sleepy. I'm afraid it won't work for us aunts to coax him to sleep. You have to go."

Liu didn't say anything, but she had already taken the initiative to shake off her apron and was ready to wash the pots and dishes.

This is also a practical action to tell Liu Jinchuan that they are responsible for these things!

"Okay, then I'll take Liangliang back to take a nap first, and then come over when it's time to light a fire at night."

Liu Jinchuan left with Liangliang, and Kang Xiaozi came over right after.

He came to convey Yang Huaming's instructions to his mother and sisters.

"Dad said there will be a dinner tonight, and he will invite Uncle San, Uncle Luo, and the Sun family."

"Mother, two sisters, can you help Jinchuan take care of things at night?"

Juer smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely help you share these when we come back."

The third girl also nodded readily.

Liu curled her lips and muttered, "It's bad enough that you forgot your mother after marrying a wife, but you also forgot your sisters. Don't you even think about who carried you to grow up on your back?"

Kang Xiaozi was startled, then looked at the third girl.

As far as he could remember, it was his third sister who took care of him. She took him wherever she went, and he was almost her little follower.

So much so that when his third sister got married a few years ago, he hid himself and cried for a long time.

"Third sister, then you should go and rest. It's rare for you to come back from so far away..."

As soon as these words came out, Juer laughed.

"Brother, this is really offensive. What about me? It's not easy for me, the second sister, to come back. You care about the third sister, but you don't care about me, the second sister?"

Kang Xiaozi scratched his head in embarrassment, and then he realized how inconsiderate his words were.

"Second sister, I, I didn't mean that." He quickly explained, "I'm so happy that the two sisters can come back to visit. Well, second sister will also rest at night. Jinchuan and I will cook dinner then. You just need to help take care of Liangliang!" (End of this chapter)
