Chapter 245 Warming House Banquet
Xia Qiu saw Chuxue's expression and understood her thoughts: "Okay, let's not worry about it. If Yancheng really wants to marry Chuxue, he will definitely help. Besides, our Chuxue is not bad either."
Chunxiao also heard their conversation at the door of the kitchen: "That's right, my second sister is so beautiful. If they are still picky, then they have no taste. It's better not to have such a marriage."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on Chunxiao. No one expected Chunxiao to say such a thing.
Chuxue laughed first: "Look, our Chunxiao is still the one with good taste."
At this time, Qiu Shaofeng came over and said, "Dad, you guys have been busy all day, and there's nothing to do here. I'll stay here tonight to look after the place, and you guys go back and rest first."
Father Liu continued, "I'll stay tonight, too. We have to hang the processed meat into the well later, so we have to keep someone here. With so much noise today, there must be someone with bad intentions."
Chuxue glanced at Zhuifeng who was hiding at the door of the main room and said, "Dad, you all should go back. Zhuifeng and I are the only ones left here."
Before Father Liu could say anything, Qiu Shaofeng refused: "No, no, I'm here, why would you, a girl, need to stay up here all night?"
Chuxue turned and walked outside, picked up half a brick from the makeshift stove, and broke it in half in front of everyone, which stopped everyone from trying to persuade her. "Okay, Chunxiao has to go to school tomorrow, Dad hasn't recovered yet, and Mom has been busy these days. As for me, a pregnant woman, I'll naturally have a good rest. Brother-in-law, you go back and take care of me. It's best for me to stay. I'll be fine with Zhuifeng by my side."
Only after Qiu Shaofeng helped to hoist the ingredients into the well did they leave together.
As soon as they left, Chuxue directly put the things from the well into the space. After returning to the yard, she closed the door, took Zhuifeng back to the room she had chosen, closed the doors and windows, and then went directly into the space.
There is nothing to harvest now except vegetables.
She released her mental power, collected some of the pheasant eggs on the mountain and put them in the warehouse, and left the rest for them to hatch.
I took a shower in the space and then left it.
Before dawn the next day, Chuxue hoisted the collected things back into the well, pointed at the well and said to Zhuifeng who followed him: "Stay here, understand?"
After walking a few steps, he was still a little worried, so he simply walked to a nearby place, picked up a big stone, and pressed it on the wellhead, clapped his hands, and then left.
After entering the yard, he did not close the gate again, fearing that his family members and people from the village who came to help would come over soon.
Sure enough, not long after she had washed and packed up, the aunts and sisters-in-law from each family in the village who were helping to sprout bean sprouts came with their own large clay pots. Later, the aunts and sisters-in-law who were helping to make dough also came over.
After a while, Mr. and Mrs. Liu also arrived.
Liu's mother took a few women to the private plot in the back to pick the vegetables to be used today. When they had picked almost all, the families who had previously contacted other families to exchange vegetables also sent over their freshly picked vegetables.
Because the house-warming banquet was in the evening, at noon only vegetable soup was made for the helpers, which was served with the steamed three-grain flour buns made in the morning, so Aunt Wu, who was in charge of the banquet, did not come too early.
In the morning, it was mainly the aunts and uncles in the village who helped to steam the steamed buns made of three-grain flour for dinner, and also helped to wash the vegetables for the banquet.
The men went door to door to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls, plates and chopsticks.
For a while, the new house was very lively.
