Chapter 583 Happy Event
"He certainly won't feel wronged. When he came back yesterday, he couldn't wait to take me to the new house to have a look. It's not far from where we used to live. The house has been renovated and some of the furniture has been put in. They're all brand new. He also asked me what I wanted and asked me to buy it for me."
Now it was Lin Chuxia's turn to be surprised.
"Sure, Jia Liang, is this fast enough?"
If I remember correctly, he proposed buying a house when the two families were discussing the marriage before the Spring Festival.
"I bought it after I came back from my hometown," Qin Juan confirmed her thoughts.
Jia Liang was a man of quick hands and feet. After going to the Qin family to propose marriage that day, he came back and started arranging for buying a house.
I don’t know if he had planned this in advance, but he quickly bought a small courtyard with four rooms. Although the restaurant was not renovated yet, he renovated his small courtyard first.
"Okay, then I will concentrate on preparing the dowry for my eldest sister."
Lin Chuxia clapped her hands and felt relieved.
Jia Liang is someone she recognizes, and her eldest sister is Qin Yang's relative.
Compared with the two of them, she certainly sides with her elder sister and doesn't want her to suffer any grievances.
There were few construction projects started in the first month of the year, which allowed Jia Liang to find a lot of decoration workers.
The renovation of the restaurant progressed very quickly. By the 20th of the first lunar month, the renovation was basically completed, and the lobby and kitchen utensils were also in place step by step.
After the decoration is completed, it will take a few days to air it out, so Lin Chuxia simply gave Jia Liang a vacation so that he can concentrate on preparing for the wedding.
At the end of the month, Lin Chuxia gave Qin Juan a vacation and transferred Qin Jianjun back to Qin's Restaurant to take full charge of the restaurant's affairs so that the two previous managers could have a perfect wedding.
After Qin Juan went on vacation, Lin Chuxia accompanied her to the city to buy a lot of dowry clothes, and these things were placed in her residence.
The Jia family and the Qin family had discussed before that the journey from Qinjia Village was too far, so Qin Juan would marry from Yan City.
Everything here was almost ready, so Qin Juan went back to Qinjia Village.
Her family also prepared a lot of dowry for her, and according to their local customs, a banquet must be held at home when marrying a daughter.
On the 30th day of the first lunar month, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia returned to Qinjia Village, and the house had become bustling with activity.
Several large stoves were set up in the yard, some of which were stewing meat, some of which were burning oil, and the chef was frying tofu and steamed buns in pots.
There are also two large stoves with steamers more than half a person's height on them. One steamer contains steamed buns, and the other contains stewed buns.
Don’t ask how Lin Chuxia knew it. As soon as she passed by the steamer, she smelled the aroma of the stew.
Lin Chuxia suddenly couldn't walk anymore.
Ever since she had morning sickness last time, she doesn't like to eat greasy food.
This stewed food is something she has loved since she was a child. It is not common and is only available when there are banquets in the village.
It’s not that it can’t be made normally, but the taste of the food I make at home doesn’t resemble the food steamed in the steamer at a banquet.
Qin Yang saw her eyes staring at the steamer with longing, and he knew what was going on.
His wife used to like tinkering with food, but she was not greedy for food.
At most, I regard making delicious food as a hobby.
After getting pregnant, I became a little glutton. Once I wanted to eat something, I couldn't wait to have it in my mouth.
If I can’t eat, I really can’t sleep.
"What do you want to eat?"
Qin Yang glanced around at the busy chefs and then looked at the big pots.
"Would you like to eat the stewed meat or the fried tofu?"
Lin Chuxia stretched out a finger that looked like a green onion and pointed at the large steamer next to her. "I want to eat what's in here."
"Steamed bun?"
Has my wife's taste suddenly become so simple and unpretentious?
The scallion-white fingertips waved, "No, there's stewed meat in here."
An old lady came over and laughed, "Yangyang's wife has a very good nose. This pot is stewed rice, which will be a cold dish for tomorrow's banquet. But stewed rice is still delicious when it's hot. You can never get enough of it when it's just out of the pot."
Lin Chuxia swallowed hard, and looked at the old lady with sparkling eyes, "Isn't that right? Do you think so too, old lady?"
The aunt was a close relative of the Qin family. She glanced at Lin Chuxia's belly calmly and asked her with a smile, "Are you craving for this? The pot will be cooked soon. Go back to your room and rest. I'll let Yangyang bring it to you later."
Lin Chuxia rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly, "Since it's almost cooked, I'll wait here for a while."
The old lady was amused by her appearance and laughed. She pointed at her and said to Qin Yang, "Your wife is the same as me when I was pregnant. She wanted to eat anything she wanted. She was like this all the time. She was very picky. But you are living a good life now. You can have whatever you want to eat. It's not like us when we couldn't have anything we wanted to eat."
After the old lady finished speaking, she asked the master in the distance through a few people whether the steamer had enough time.
The chef glanced at his watch and shouted to the old lady, "Okay, put it in the pot."
The old lady immediately waved her hand at Qin Yang, "Yangyang, give me a hand. Let's put the two trays of food aside to dry. It's just right for your wife to eat first. Pregnant women are prone to hunger."
Qin Yang called Xiao Zhuangzhuang, handed him the things in his hand, and asked him to take them into the house first.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked forward to help the old lady carry the steamer.
This kind of large steamer is only used when there are banquets in the village.
It is something that is used almost throughout the village.
The steamer is as big as a ten-yin pot, and there are handles on both sides of the steamer. Just lift the handles.
The old lady directed Qin Yang to lift down the top two layers first.
He didn't rush to lift the rest, and smiled at Lin Chuxia, "Go over there and get a bowl and chopsticks, these two baskets are delicious."
Lin Chuxia responded briskly and ran to the side to get the bowl and chopsticks.
The old lady took this opportunity to praise: "Yangyang, you have married a good wife. This is not just marrying a wife, it is like marrying a golden phoenix for our Qinjia Village. You are the phoenix tree in our Qinjia Village."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded, accepting the old lady's compliment without any modesty.
When Lin Chuxia came back, the old lady opened the lid of the steamer and the aroma filled the air.
It turned out to be Lin Chuxia’s favorite stewed noodle rolls.
This kind of stewed food is rolled in dough and steamed. It is delicious and easy to hold.
The old lady picked up a whole strip for Lin Chuxia.
After handing the bowl to Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang helped her put the other steamers into the pot.
By the time Qin Yang and the aunt were done, Lin Chuxia had already eaten half of it.
The stew was very hot right out of the pot, but luckily the weather cooled down quickly.
She ate while blowing on it with her little mouth.
Qin Yang pulled her arm helplessly and said, "Let's go back to the house to eat."
Qin's mother and Zhang Guilan were helping Qin Juan prepare her dowry.
I had made new bedding for her early, four pieces in total, one red, one thin, and one thick.
There were also various small items that were bought for Qin Juan long before she returned from the city.
