The two best friends sang in unison and made remarks that no one present had ever heard before.
But everyone listened surprisingly carefully. Although they didn't quite understand, they felt that what they said made sense.
While chatting and laughing, everyone had already prepared dinner. Today's dinner was stir-fried clams, two large pots of clams alone, as well as steamed blue crabs, steamed king crabs, braised blue shrimps, spicy stir-fried octopus, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, sweet and sour spare ribs, orange juice, and a big pot of rice.
Although the dishes don’t look like much, the portions are quite large and are more than enough for three tables of people.
Today, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were entertaining Hua'er and Xiang'er, so the four of them sat at a separate table, along with Zhao and grandmother. When the rest of the people arrived, they sat at another table.
In the end, there was still a lot of seafood left, which was given to the servants.
Zhao tasted the clams and said in surprise, "I didn't expect this thing to look so small and have so little meat, but it smells so good after being fried."
Xiang'er continued, "Yes, yes. We boiled it at home before, but it was sandy and hurt my teeth, and it also had a weird smell. Why is it so fragrant today?"
Hua'er's mouth was full of rice. "I've never eaten rice this delicious before. It's so fragrant."
Yun Ruoxi smiled and said, "Since you think it tastes good, you can eat more. Now that we are at the beach, there is no shortage of these things. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always eat them."
Mu Ruxue picked up the water glass in front of her, which contained orange juice.
However, in order not to attract other people's attention, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had already replaced the orange juice packaging with wine jars of this era.
Mu Ruxue: "Come, let's raise our glasses together. Today is the second day of our successful sea fishing trip. We also welcome Hua'er and Xiang'er to visit the Xiao family. From now on, we will be villagers of Taohua Village. We look forward to your guidance."
Huaer and Xianger were enjoying their meal, but when they heard this, they quickly put down their chopsticks and followed Mu Ruxue's example, picking up the water cups in front of them.
"Sister, you are so polite. We two sisters accompanied you to go fishing and even accepted your copper coins. Why should we be so polite?"
Yun Ruoxi: "This is the result of your hard work, don't take it too seriously."
After everyone took a sip of the orange juice, I found it delicious. Huaer and Xianger's eyes widened.
"Oh my god, what kind of water is this? Why is it so sour and sweet? It tastes so good!"
Mu Ruxue: "This is orange juice, squeezed from a certain fruit. Drinking more can replenish the vitamin C in the body. In short, it means it's good for the body."
When they heard that it was good for the body, everyone picked up their glasses and drank the orange juice in them, for fear of wasting it.
Everyone was full after dinner, and in the end Huaer and Xianger took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
At first, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue disagreed. After all, the two sisters were guests at the Xiao family. Why did they have to wash the dishes after dinner? This was against the rules everywhere.
But Hua'er and Xiang'er were too fast, even the new maid couldn't grab them.
Yun Ruoxi had no choice but to ask two maids to help out from behind to prevent the two sisters from getting too tired.
After everyone finished dinner, it was still daylight outside, but for safety reasons, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue took Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan to send the sisters back.
This was their first time to visit Huaer and Xianger's home. On the first day in Taohua Village, they already knew where the ancient village chief's home was.
But where is Hua'er's home? They really didn't know, but today they found out that it was right next door.
Although the village chief had sent all his sons away to live on their own early on, none of them went far.
The ancient village chief lives in the middle and lives with his eldest son's family, Xiang'er's parents.
The one living on the left is the second son, Huaer's parents, and the one living on the right is the third son of the ancient village chief.
However, they never knew how many people were in the family of the third son of the ancient village chief.
When everyone came to the yard of Village Chief Gu's house again, Village Chief Gu and his wife heard the noise and hurried out, just in time to see that it was the Xiao family who had arrived.
As soon as Yun Ruoxi saw the appearance of Village Chief Gu and his family, she knew that everyone was having dinner.
"The village chief is having dinner. He just happened to bring Hua'er and Xiang'er back. You guys eat first and we'll stroll back."
Village Chief Gu hurriedly invited them in to sit down, but Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue declined, saying, "Not today. We have things to do at home. Let's talk to the village chief's wife another day when we're free."
In fact, it was no big deal for the two best friends to go home, but it was indeed not nice to visit someone at dinner time. Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue thought about going back early and wait for an opportunity to make a formal visit later.
The village chief’s wife invited them several times, but when she saw that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue insisted, she stopped talking.
Before leaving, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan put down the backpacks in their hands.
Inside are the seafood I caught these two days. I cooked some of it for dinner tonight, and these are all the leftovers.
Huaer and Xianger didn't want it at first, but they couldn't have anyone accompany them for two days without any gain, and they were also afraid that Huaer and Xianger's parents would feel unhappy.
After the work was done, the four of them walked back leisurely.
There was still some distance to go from the village chief's house to the Xiao family of the village committee. Seeing that there were not many people around, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan consciously held their wives' hands.
Now the two best friends are used to it and won’t try to break free from their hands. They just walk back hand in hand naturally.
As the sun sets, the shadows of the four people become longer and longer.
After arriving home, Xiao Jingrui continued to prepare water for Yun Ruoxi to wash her feet, and Yun Ruoxi accepted it very well.
After washing her feet, Yun Ruoxi naturally leaned on the bed to read a book, while Xiao Jingrui went to take a shower.
When he came back, Yun Ruoxi was not asleep, but waiting for him.
"Madam, you slept late today. Could it be that you were waiting for your husband?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded openly, "Yes, I was waiting for you. I just happened to have something important to tell you today."
When Xiao Jingrui heard that it was serious business, his face changed to a serious look, "Madam, please speak, I'm listening!"
Yun Ruoxi: "It's like this. Tomorrow we are going to go see how the watered land is doing. If it's okay, we will start planting tomorrow. My brothers will do the planting, and I have decided to plant potatoes."
After studying for a period of time, Xiao Jingrui already knew that potatoes are a modern high-yield grain seed and have less stringent requirements for the growing environment.
They are now on the seaside, and the land is not the best. If they grow rice and wheat, it is easy to have no harvest.
