Chapter 463 Uninvited Guests
She didn't want the Qiao family to know anything produced at home.
Live chickens and eggs are fine, because people in the countryside raise chickens.
Fang already knew that Qiao Xuan was not having a good time in her parents' home, and subconsciously developed some aversion to Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao. When Qiao Xuan said this, she nodded in agreement.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you twenty taels of silver as I did last time, and you can buy whatever you want."
Qiao Xuan thanked him with a smile, and then said, "If you can't use it all, I'll return it to mother later."
Fang laughed: "You can keep it for yourself. Yunduan has daily expenses too! This should all be counted in the public account. After all, Yunduan will take care of his brothers when he becomes successful in the future. It is only natural that his brothers are supporting him in his studies now."
After listening to this, Qiao Xuan had no idea to refute, so she smiled and agreed.
Mother-in-law, this is well-intentioned.
So Xu and Fang prepared to pack up.
They brought some cured meat, cured sausage, cured fish and cured duck, 20 kilograms of wild boar meat per person, two jars of wine, and Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao picked two baskets of fresh mushrooms.
I also packed some melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, candied fruits, peanut candy, walnut candy, osmanthus cake, etc. sent by Lezheng's family.
If anyone wants to add anything else, they can pay for it themselves.
Xu then picked out three pieces of cloth, a few silk flowers, and two packages of needle and thread, and gave her mother four taels of silver when the time came.
On the day of going out, Xu dressed her two children very beautifully, put on silver hairpins and thick new clothes, and went out with Fang, Uncle Shao, and Taotao.
Now that we have a donkey cart at home, we don’t have to walk anymore.
Shao Sanlang drove the carriage, first sending Xu and Shao Dalang to Xu's parents' home, and then sending Fang and her family.
Donkey carts cannot directly enter the village where Xu's mother's family lives. One has to walk for about four or five miles, but it is much more convenient.
Shao Sanlang stayed with Fang at her maternal grandparents' house for one night. He came back the next day and made an appointment with Xu and others to pick them up, and then they all went home together.
With their departure, the house suddenly became quieter and more empty as there were several fewer people.
Especially since the two children are not at home, it becomes much less lively.
When I have nothing to do, I have to think about food.
Yang Xiaoni and Qiao Xuan discussed that they wanted to eat clay pot rice, so Qiao Xuan planned to make it in the evening.
Shao Xiaoqi also looked excited with bright eyes.
Yang Xiaoni soaked the rice in a familiar manner, washed the pot for making clay pot rice, and Xiaoqi prepared the charcoal fire and the stove.
Qiao Xuan went to the vegetable garden and picked some lettuce and garlic sprouts.
When the clay pot rice is almost cooked, put the sliced sausage and cured duck on it, pour the prepared sauce on it, add the blanched lettuce, and when it is almost done, sprinkle the chopped garlic leaves on it. A fragrant and colorful clay pot rice is ready.
The clay pot rice had just started cooking, and the side dishes were cut and placed on the chopping board waiting to be put into the pot. Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni were sitting in the spacious and bright kitchen chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard a female voice in a hoarse voice: "Where are the people? Where did they go?"
Shao Xiaoqi shouted, "Big cousin, my third and fifth sisters-in-law are cooking in the kitchen!"
You can tell that Xiao Qi's voice sounds a little unhappy.
The eldest cousin? Yang Xiaoni and Qiao Xuan looked at each other. Qiao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It must be Third Uncle's eldest daughter Shao Meizhi, right? She must have also returned to her parents' home to give New Year gifts."
Yang Xiaoni curled her lips: "I can tell this person is not a good person. By the way, I didn't see her come back to the wedding when I got married. Did she come when my fifth brother's wife came home?"
