Chapter 245 Warming House Banquet

Seeing Chu Xue's expression, Xia Qiu understood her thoughts: "Alright, let's stop worrying. If Yan Cheng is sincere in proposing to Chu Xue, he will definitely mediate. Besides, our Chu Xue is not bad either."

Chunxiao overheard their conversation from the kitchen doorway: "That's right, my second sister is so beautiful, if they're still picky, then they have no taste. They might as well not accept this marriage."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Chunxiao. No one expected Chunxiao to say such a thing.

Chu Xue laughed first: "See, our Chunxiao has good taste."

At this moment, Qiu Shaofeng walked over and said, "Dad, you've been busy all day. There's nothing much to do here. I'll stay and watch the place tonight. You can go back and rest first."

Father Liu chimed in, "I'll stay tonight too. We still need to lower the processed meat into the well later. We can't leave anyone behind. With all the commotion today, there's bound to be some unscrupulous people around."

Chu Xue glanced at Zhui Feng, who was huddled at the entrance of the main house: "Dad, you should all go back. Zhui Feng and I are fine here."

Before Liu's father could speak, Qiu Shaofeng refused: "No need, no need. With me here, there's no need for a young lady like you to stay up all night."

Chu Xue turned and walked outside, picked up half a brick from the makeshift stove, and broke it in half in front of everyone, immediately putting an end to their attempts to persuade her: "Alright, Chunxiao has to go to school tomorrow, Dad hasn't recovered yet, and Mom has been busy these past few days. As for my sister, she's pregnant, so she should rest. Brother-in-law, you should go back and take care of her. It's best for me to stay here. With Zhuifeng by my side, nothing will happen."

After Qiu Shaofeng helped lower the ingredients into the well, they left together.

Once they left, Chu Xue directly put the items from the well into her spatial storage. After returning to the courtyard, she closed the gate, took Zhui Feng back to the room she had chosen, closed the doors and windows, and then went directly into her spatial storage.

Nowadays, there's nothing to harvest except vegetables.

She used her spiritual power to collect some of the wild eggs from the mountain and store them in the warehouse, leaving the rest for them to hatch. She then took a bath in the space before leaving.

Before dawn the next day, Chu Xue lowered the collected items back into the well and pointed at the well to Zhui Feng, who had followed her, saying, "Stand guard here, understand?"

After walking a few steps, still feeling uneasy, he simply walked a short distance away, picked up a large rock, placed it on the well opening, clapped his hands, and then left.

After entering the courtyard, the gate was not closed again, probably because family members and villagers who were helping out would be coming soon.

Sure enough, not long after she finished washing up and getting ready, the aunties and uncles from various households in the village who were helping to sprout beans arrived with their own large earthenware pots. Later, the aunties and uncles who were helping to make dough also came over together.

Soon after, Mr. and Mrs. Liu arrived.

Liu's mother led several women to the back plot of land to pick the vegetables they would need for the day. After they had picked most of them, the family that had previously arranged to exchange vegetables with other families also brought over their freshly picked vegetables.

Because the housewarming banquet was in the evening, at noon only a mixed vegetable soup was made for the helpers, along with the steamed buns made from the mixed flour that had been prepared in the morning. Therefore, Aunt Wu, who was in charge of the banquet, did not arrive too early.

In the morning, the village aunties and uncles mainly helped steam the mixed flour buns for dinner and washed the vegetables for the banquet.

The men went door-to-door borrowing tables, chairs, benches, bowls, plates, and chopsticks.

The new house was bustling with activity for a while.
