Yang Lihua noticed that she was always glancing towards the corner of the wall, and vaguely guessed something, so she asked, "Mrs. Wu, please feel free to speak up. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Sure enough, Mrs. Wu immediately pointed to the wild orchid in the corner and said, "I really like this orchid. You have a lot of them planted at home. Can you give me one?"
Without waiting for Yang Lihua to respond, Madam Min clapped her hands and laughed, "Ah, Madam Wu, you hit the nail on the head. I've been thinking about this too. The flowers are blooming so beautifully that I can hardly move. Can you give me one too?"
Mrs. Wu joked and scolded, "How dare you snatch flowers from me!"
"Of course everyone likes good things!" Mrs. Min took her arm and acted like a naughty little girl, making everyone laugh.
Yang Lihua thought for a moment and replied, "Zhuzhu brought this flower back from the mountain. I'll ask the girl. If she's willing to give it to me, that would be even better. If not, I'll send someone up the mountain to look for it tomorrow."
After saying that, she called Chunhong to find Zhuzhu.
Zhuzhu was taking Miss Min and the young master of the Wu family to choose gifts. Miss Min asked for a small wooden house that could be disassembled. The young master of the Wu family, being young, grabbed a wooden whistle that could be blown and refused to let go.
Hearing their mother's call, the three of them left the house.
Yang Lihua bent down and hugged her daughter, saying softly, "Zhuzhu, your Aunt Min and Madam Wu have taken a liking to those orchids and really like them. Do you think it would be possible to give them two plants and take them home to grow?"
Madam Wu quickly chimed in, "Zhuzhu, Master's wife has some pearls from the south. How about exchanging them for your orchids?"
"I have a piece of good material. Can I use it to make a new dress for Zhuzhu?" Mrs. Min also held Zhuzhu's chubby little hand.
Zhuzhu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied in a baby voice, "These flowers were found by Zhimaqiu with her help. Master's wife and aunt-in-law shouldn't give Zhuzhu nice things. Buy Zhimaqiu a roast chicken. Zhuzhu can have one chicken leg, and Zhimaqiu can have one!"
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Min laughed out loud when they heard this. They really loved the fat girl.
She didn't think about asking for good things for herself, but was thinking about the puppy. She would be satisfied if she could get a chicken leg.
What kind of fairy girl is this? It makes me feel heartbroken!
"Okay, okay, I'll give you my aunt's good ingredients. I'll also buy two roast chickens! One for you and one for the puppy!" Mrs. Min quickly promised.
Mrs. Wu followed suit, "Yes, give Pearl to Zhuzhu, and there's plenty of roast chicken!"
In the front yard, Mr. Wu waited for a long time and felt a little confused.
After finally seeing his wife and son come out, with a maid behind them holding a pot of orchids, he asked, "Where did this orchid come from? It looks quite extraordinary!"
Mrs. Wu was very proud and replied, "This is a gift from Zhuzhu. It's a treasure she dug up from the mountains! Don't try to snatch it from me when we get back. I'm going to put it by my bedroom window."
Mr. Wu was helpless and said with a smile, "Okay, okay."
After a few more laughs, they said goodbye to the Tai family.
One after another, the village heads and villagers also began to say goodbye.
Mr. Tai apologized to everyone for not having a drink with them earlier. Of course, no one could blame him, and they all started to congratulate him again.
Tai Yongning followed behind his grandfather and saw the guests off with a slight smile, which made everyone feel even more regretful.
Especially for those who have daughters at home, why didn’t they get such a good son-in-law before? Otherwise, they would be the father-in-law of the scholar now!
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world!
Yang Lihua gave the hired chef two taels of silver as wages and a piece of pork. The chef was very happy and returned with Min the steward.
Old Master Tai asked Banxian to stay for two more days, but Banxian refused and went back to the city in Manager Min's car as usual.
The Tai family yard didn't become quiet until the sun had completely set in the west and dusk had enveloped the earth.
The family gathered together to talk and take stock of the day's gains and losses.
After all, it was my first time hosting a banquet, so there were bound to be some shortcomings, but fortunately they were all minor problems.
Speaking of going to the city for a banquet the day after tomorrow, Zhuzhu hugged her grandfather's neck and begged, "Grandpa, Zhuzhu wants to go to the city too. Can you take Zhuzhu with you?"
The old man was in a dilemma because he had to drink at the banquet. Even if Yongning was there, he would have to socialize with his fellow apprentices and could not bring Zhuzhu with him.
Finally, Yongyue stepped forward and begged with a smile, "Grandpa, I'd love to come too. You guys go to the banquet, and I'll take my sister to Uncle Min's dim sum shop! And Grandpa Banxianer, he promised to take us to eat the best wontons in the county!"
This is a good idea, and the old man agreed after thinking about it.
"Then have He Shan assign two other people to follow. Be careful that bad guys may steal your sister away! You must also stay by your sister's side at all times!"
"Of course, Grandpa, don't worry! The bad guys would steal me but they would never steal my sister!" Tai Yongyue patted his chest, making everyone laugh.
"No one wants you, you stinky boy!"
"That's right, I can't even afford to eat if I steal it home!"
Tai Yongyue was not angry, and protested, "I haven't eaten enough, the one who eats the most is Third Brother!"
Mentioning Yonglu, everyone thought of Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan. It was a pity that they were not there for such a big family event. And Chen Ruiyang...
Yang Lihua sighed and said, "I don't know if Ruiyang can find his uncle this time. This child is pitiful. His mother passed away, his house was burned down, and his father is such a beast. If he can't find his uncle, he's likely to get sick."
Tai Jizu advised, "God will not let things go to the extreme. He will definitely leave some hope for this child. Maybe he has already seen his uncle by now."
Zhuzhu was discussing with her fourth brother how to act in the city. She listened to her parents' words and replied casually, "Brother Ruiyang will definitely find uncle!"
After saying that, she pulled her brother to look through her precious little box, intending to use the money to buy something delicious.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy.
Although she didn't know the reason, Zhuzhu never said anything wrong. She said that if Ruiyang could find his uncle, he would definitely find him!
At this moment, on the distant grassland, the night wind was so cold that people had to put on more thick clothes.
The annoying mosquitoes also gathered in a black mass, flying around. If they encountered someone who couldn't hold their urine or feces, they would find their target and pounce on them until they had enough blood.
This forced everyone to hold a handful of burning wormwood in their hands, smoking and quickly ending the battle...
The Tai family's convoy had just set up camp when Tai Jicai ran into the makeshift tent, clutching his buttocks. He gnashed his teeth in hatred, "The grassland is great in every way. We can eat meat and ride horses, but these mosquitoes are so annoying! I almost lost my butt in one just to take a shit!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh and scratched their butts subconsciously. They really felt the same way.
Tai Jiye was talking to Hengqi when he heard the noise and called out, "Brother Jicai, you and everyone else should be alert at night. I'm taking Ruiyang out for a while."
