Chapter 307 Family Reunion
Shen Congrong didn't have a deep impression of Shen Yi, but he had always treasured the toys Shen Yi made for him. Now that he was held in Shen Yi's arms, he was as happy as a kitten, and he hugged Shen Yi tightly like his sister.
The twins didn't have much affection for Shen Yi, but they had a good relationship with their older brother and sister. Seeing that their older brother and sister were holding Shen Yi all the time, they also climbed on their older brother and sister's backs and did not struggle to get off the ground.
Han's eyes were hot, she wiped her tears, stepped forward and said, "Okay, let's go back first. It's so cold, don't stay outside for too long."
The villagers nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, hurry back to reunite with your family, congratulations."
Su Tai smiled and said, "The New Year is coming in a few days. This year, our family makes sticky rice cakes, which are not available in Langya. I will send some to everyone in a few days for them to try."
"Okay, okay, your cooking skills are definitely impeccable!"
The villagers are looking forward to it.
On the way back, Han asked Shen Yi to put the child down, but Shen Yi kept shaking his head and just walked away holding the child.
Su Tai smiled and joked, "You don't mind the weight!"
The four kids in their family are not light, weighing more than 100 pounds together.
"No! I've practiced in the military camp. I used to be able to carry wild boars weighing hundreds of pounds. It's easy for me to hold them." Shen Yi said with a proud look on his face.
Han felt helpless when she heard this. She looked at the luggage on the carriage and couldn't help but frown, "Why did you bring so many things back? We don't need any at home!"
Su Chunlin was so shocked that his body froze, his expression exaggerated, "Mother, I dare not throw away the things here even if it means my death! That is a gift from the emperor to our son-in-law. Look at this, it is an imperial plaque, inscribed by the emperor himself, it brings honor to our family! If you hang it up at home, everyone who sees it will kowtow before leaving!"
"Ah? So powerful!" Han covered her mouth in shock, not daring to look directly at those things.
Su Tai was also a little surprised.
Shen Yi explained briefly and said, "I'll buy another piece of land and build a yard to house the plaques and ancestral tablets. How about that?"
"Okay! I'll listen to you!"
Su Tai was so happy that she wanted to jump and sing a song. With these treasures bestowed by the emperor, their family was unique in the village, even more powerful than the Ma family in the town.
As soon as the family arrived at the door of their house, they found that the Chen Zhuang family had all arrived. Everyone sat and talked, and Han boasted about the emperor's reward.
Chen Zhuang was surprised and delighted, "Chen Yi! This is a great honor for our family! No, we have to find the village chief and tell him about what you and Da Gou did. This is the glory of our Shen Family Village!"
He was in a hurry, very anxious, and didn't want to delay for a moment, so he turned around and ran out of the yard.
Su Tai asked Han and the others to help her look after the children while she went to get food for Shen Yi.
Wei Daya and Qi Yan wanted to help, but she sent them away.
When she was the only one left in the kitchen, she immediately went to the Fire Time and Space Food Street and ordered a large table of beef hotpot and mutton hotpot, and five trays of large meat buns.
Then I went to the Earth Time and Space and picked four durians, a plate of cherries, a basket of mangoes, six coconuts and four papayas.
Papaya is mainly used to cook papaya, white fungus, red dates and milk soup. After the durian is peeled, the white flesh can be used to cook chicken. Use coconut water and add some wolfberries. It tastes sweet and nourishing.
You can bake durian cakes by adding durian meat and cheese bought from a bakery.
She was busy in the kitchen when the village chief Shen Ying and a group of clansmen also came.
Everyone came to see the imperial treasure.
Shen Yi was not stingy either. He got a few large tables and put them together, and then placed a thousand taels of gold bestowed by the emperor, a pair of jade ruyi, a dragon-protecting sword, a night-shining pearl, eight pieces of brocade, and a personally inscribed plaque on them.
These things really opened the villagers' eyes.
"Chen Yi, you are now completely rich!" The villagers were amazed and envious, and some were jealous.
Shen Yi picked up the gold and pointed to the words below for everyone to see, "This gold is given by the emperor. It is different from the gold circulated by the government. It cannot be used. It is a serious crime to circulate it privately."
"Ah? Then it can only be a decoration." The villagers widened their eyes, confused and anxious.
You can only look at it but not use it, isn't this bullying!
Chen Yi nodded, "The things bestowed by the emperor are a kind of honor, how can they be really used! Only these materials can be used, and the others must be kept for worship. I have already registered them at the county government on the way back. These things are all noted in the government."
Now the jealous villagers gave up their thoughts. Although the things were good, they could only be displayed for worship and nothing could go wrong. They could not enjoy such a blessing.
When Shen Ying learned that Shen Yi wanted to build another yard to provide these things, he agreed deeply, "We will come to help after the busy farming season is over."
Shen Yi accepted everyone's kindness and thanked them one by one.
Su Tai brought out the freshly baked durian cakes and said, "Come on, eat some while it's hot, so that everyone can share in the good fortune."
"It smells so good! Wife, what delicious food have you made?" Shen Yi was eager to try.
Su Chunlin declined the offer and said, "Why are you dealing with that stinky durian again? Get it away from here. It smells worse than a cesspool!"
"You are the one who is always bothering me!" Han glared at Su Chunlin and stepped forward to help Su Tai.
Most people like durian cakes and can’t stop eating them.
Chen Yi looked like he hadn't eaten good food for hundreds of years. In the blink of an eye, he had already killed seven or eight of them.
Su Tai quickly took the durian cake in front of him, "Even if it tastes good, you can't keep eating it. We will have hot pot and big meat buns later. Don't overeat."
Shen Yi put down the durian cake in his hand angrily.
Su Tai hurried to the kitchen and brought out the papaya, tremella, red dates and milk soup so that everyone could enjoy it while it was hot.
After such a meal, the villagers who came to visit were all fed and left satisfied.
Han was surprised. "Xiaotai, how did you know so many people would come? You prepared everything so well!"
"What? There's still some in the kitchen! It's just right that mother and second aunt can help me send some to other families. We can't finish them if we keep them. Xiaoxi from Mrs. Zhang's family likes the snacks I make, so bring more for them." Su Tai reminded.
Shen Yi looked at her suspiciously.
Su Tai explained in a low voice: "The child is the treasure of Mrs. Zhang and Shen Quezi. They have brought her up very well. She is well-behaved and sensible at a young age. She has learned a few words in the school with the other children before. She plays well with our children. Adults' affairs should not involve children. Besides, the child has nothing to do with them now. Shen Quezi will not let the other side snatch the child away. You have also forgotten her life experience and pretend that you know nothing."
"Okay! I'll listen to my wife!" Chen Yi grinned and looked at Su Tai with a burning look in his eyes.
Su Tai bashfully hit him and said, "The hot water and toiletries in the bathroom are ready. Take a moment to digest your food and go in for a comfortable bath. We'll have hotpot when you come out."
"good!"
Shen Yi found that since returning home, the word he said most was "good".
While the couple was being affectionate with each other, Han was knocking on Shen Quezi's door with a basket.
Xiong Kai hid in the dark and observed secretly. When he saw Han, he locked his eyes on her.
