fficult to find information about them.”Guo Qing was already sweating nervously, racking her brain for a way to stop the mud-legged man from inquiring. However, Mr. Wen casually uttered a single sent...Soon, the festive gifts were packed up, along with a half basket of salted fish that had been rubbed with salt, and loaded onto the carriage.

The old woman was a practical person, instructing her grandson, "Have your mother air-dry that salted fish properly. Later, slice it up and fry it in oil. Stew it with some tofu, and you'll have a delicious dish."

"Understood, Grandma," Jia Huan waved goodbye and left. The carriage was bumpy, and the oiled paper package in his arms felt a little uncomfortable.

He reached out, opened it up, and inside was not a snack at all, but a pair of silver bangles made of twisted threads. They were intricately woven together, quite beautiful to behold.

But it's bouncy, and yet very solid.

He suddenly turned his head back, and his chubby little sister was lying on grandma's back, waving a zongzi at him.

He reddened his eyes and reached out, waving his hand again and again!

He gave her a few taels of silver, originally intending to buy Wenjuan a good wooden hairpin.

But the result was that sister "switched" a pair of bangles here. These bangles couldn't be bought for less than seven or eight ounces.

Everyone in the family knows that my younger sister loves money.

But she always made a loss with her dealings at home....

Mr. Chiang arrived at Sui Jintan and felt completely at ease, like a fish in water.

Within two or three days, everyone in the village and the surrounding area, men, women and children, knew him.

The elderly liked his enthusiasm and lack of the pedantry of scholars.

Young people enjoy hearing him talk about the places he's traveled to while studying abroad, the different cultures and customs, and the new experiences he's had.

Of course, many come from travel blogs.

But that didn't stop him from longing, dreaming alongside the young people.

He even went to the hot springs every day on the other side of the valley, and taught himself "dog paddling" by sheer practice. He was a real handful, and all the guests knew that Suijintan had a new playful master.

On the contrary, there was Gu Li, a young schoolboy from the village, who, at only ten years old, was surprisingly calm and collected.

Perhaps having been a wanderer for too many years, he cherishes this stable haven all the more.

Even though classes weren't in session, he kept the schoolyard inside and out spotless every day.

The villagers, seeing this, truly felt that the temperament of the gentleman and the book boy should be swapped.

After all, wouldn't a too lively gentleman play more wildly with the children

What about reading...

But soon, they had no such concerns.

On the morning of school reopening, the children were lined up inside the house. Outside, the courtyard was crowded with parents and curious onlookers who had come to witness the excitement.

The village chief crouched by the wall, straining to listen with all his might.

Seeing this, everyone else followed suit. They pressed their faces against the cracks in the door and climbed over the walls...

In the house, Mr. Chiang told his children about his own life story, which moved the children to sympathy. They then inquired about the children's experience of fleeing their homes.

The children, all eight or nine years old, still remembered the days of crossing mountains and rivers, being pursued by barbarians. They chattered excitedly about it.

Then Mr. Jiang asked them, how did these good days come about

Some children said it was the emperor's vast grace, others said it was the protection of the marquis, and still others said the valley had been carved out by a spring.

Therefore, Mr. Jiang summarized for the children that Lord Hou and Master Bo, etc., were all literate, could calculate, knowledgeable, and capable.

It was through the collective effort of everyone that we built such a wonderful home and enjoyed such a good life.

And the children are the future of Suijintan. For Suijintan to continue to prosper, they must study hard and strive to become the backbone of Suijintan, safeguarding its future.

The children were given a heavy responsibility, each standing tall with chests puffed out, their excited little faces flushed red, almost shouting while reading!

The village head, squatting at the foot of the wall, was overjoyed. He tapped his empty pipe twice and shouted to the villagers.

"I've got to get going, what are you all crowding around for Mr. Wen has chosen his son-in-law, surely he wouldn't make a mistake"

Everyone laughed and no one argued with the village head. They all smiled and dispersed to go about their busy lives.

The peanuts in the field need to be harvested, and the fruit on the mountain has been picked. We still need to tidy them up and prepare for winter.

In general, as long as one is not lazy, a farmer's life is always busy.

But even when busy, everyone is happy!

Walking on such a broad avenue, they were full of energy and didn't feel tired at all!

Dinner time each day is when the most people gather at home, and the Li family is no exception.

People of all ages gathered together, having a meal and sharing about their busy day.

It's rare, tonight there's actually no Jia Yin, that little glutton, at the dinner table.

Then, everyone couldn't help but ask, "What about Funiu Isn't her hand sore"

The old woman shook her head, "Rest assured, Zhang Shenyi came to see today. The wound is recovering well and the medicine has been changed. The medicinal soup is even more effective. Fu Nier not only doesn't have a fever, but the pain in her hand has also lessened."

"How come Fu Niu'er isn't eating" Everyone felt relieved and also became more curious.

Li Laotai glared at her sons and laughed, "It's all your fault for spoiling them! Each one of you is afraid of the bitterness of medicine, so you all go back to buy snacks and candies. "

"Fu Niu'er has always been a glutton, eating too much of everything. Just now she complained of a stomachache and whimpered. After I rubbed her belly for a while, she fell asleep."

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er were scolded until they had to retreat, feeling a little ashamed.

Just thinking about my niece, I didn't expect that a little child would suffer from indigestion.

Fortunately, my little niece wasn't seriously hurt. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just getting scolded.

Tao Hongying quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, smiling and saying, "Mother, there's nothing wrong with Big Brother and Second Brother spoiling their niece. It's just that this little one has a sweet tooth. We've told her countless times, but she never listens. She hides snacks and candied fruits away, and then when it's time for medicine, we just give her a couple of pieces."

Li Laotai nodded, "Alright, let's hide her for a few days first. I'll take care of her at night. When Funiu wakes up, we'll give her some water."

Then everyone continued eating. Li Zhensheng said, “Hongying, if things go well at Shan Gu, could you come to the restaurant and help out for a few days The master we invited from the south is good at making seafood, but Jia Huan can't handle cooking.”

Beyond the valley, there were two women who learned to cook quite well. Their simple stew meals were more than enough to get by, and Tao Hongying could manage for several days without any problems even if she wasn't around.

Moreover, she found the bustling kitchen of a large restaurant intriguing and eager to try her hand at stir-frying and deep-frying.

But she still looked at her mother-in-law, somewhat hesitant.

After all, there are only two daughters-in-law in the family. San Sao is already in Los Angeles, so if she goes to the wine shop again, wouldn't she leave all the chores for her mother-in-law

The old woman guessed her thoughts and patted her hand, saying, "You want to go, just go! There are still Nanny, Shuiling, Shuiyun at home now, and Dongmei and Yishan from next door are also there. Where would it be short of one person to do chores"

Besides, Fu Niuer is sensible, and Jia'an, Jiaxi, and Mao Ge'er can all lend me a hand. Just rest assured!

Tao Hongying was delighted and readily agreed. She immediately told her eldest uncle about the new dish she had been pondering, planning to prepare the ingredients tomorrow and cook a portion for everyone to try first.

If everyone finds it good, you can add it to the menu and give the restaurant more popularity and buzz.

Li Zhensheng meant that all along, of course he agreed.

After dinner, everyone discussed for a long time.

Until late at night, the old woman drove them away, and they finally dispersed.

Li Zhensheng went back to the west room. His son Jixi, his son Ji'an, and his grandson Maoguer were all asleep.

Li Zhensheng patted his children's bellies, then sat down at the kang table and planned to look over the list again, counting the stickers and seeing if anyone had been missed.

These are all relatives and friends who came to support the opening.

As a result, as soon as he opened the list, a palm-sized piece of paper fell out.aying simply: "Break her arm, let her learn a lesson."Winter Plum immediately found a stick and walked over. Without saying a word, she hit Mrs. Chen Chuan's arm twice.Chen Chuan's wife screamed repea...
