"Let everyone bring their own food. We can eat in the yard or on the street. It's not like we have to eat at your own homes, is it?"
Han Luoxue thought about it and realized it made sense, but she still asked, "Grandpa Han Qiang, have you inquired about their character? I'll have many opportunities to hire people in the future, and I won't hire anyone who's lazy, dishonest, or careless!"
Han Qiang nodded hurriedly: "I've inquired and asked around. I'll definitely choose a reliable person when the time comes!"
“We’ve just arrived here, and I plan to use half of the people from this village.”
Han Luoxue did not object to this, since she had plenty of other places where she needed people.
"Okay, you handle it as you see fit!"
After discussing everything, Han Luoxue also missed her two children, so she went inside first.
In the afternoon, several aunties who were on good terms with me came over to help, and several pots were also brought over.
Some people were curious and came over to ask. They heard that Han Luoxue was going to treat everyone to a good meal tonight. Some of the more enthusiastic aunties even brought their own pots and pans to help out.
Some people were even carrying firewood home. You have to understand that at this time of year, people always burn firewood, and cooking more than twenty pots of food at once requires a lot of firewood.
Han Luoxue's ingredients were very fragrant. Since she could only make one dish, Han Luoxue naturally chose stew. She also put in plenty of meat, having slaughtered two pigs!
Hearing the pig squeals, many children in the village came to watch the excitement, and Han Qiang also called on everyone to come and help. Everyone was busy and working hard.
Han Juhua looked at Han Luoxue, who was surrounded by everyone, and could hardly hide the jealousy in her eyes.
She saw that Han Kun had also come over. She had heard her mother say that Han Kun would be in charge of the farm from now on.
At the time, her father even cursed, saying that Han Luoxue was biased towards outsiders and never thought of her own uncle when there was something good.
Han Juhua felt that Han Luoxue was an ungrateful wretch who couldn't be raised properly. She always asked outsiders about everything. People who didn't know the situation would think that her family had a grudge against Han Luoxue.
However, her mother eagerly went to help, and her younger brother also often followed Han Luoxue around, calling her "sister" repeatedly.
The way she called me "sister" sounded even more affectionate than if she were calling me her own sister.
"Han Kun, you've come to help too?"
Han Juhua suppressed her resentment and ran over, but she stayed close to Han Kun.
Han Kun saw her and replied distantly, "Hmm!"
"Han Kun, would you like to work at the farm?"
"I'll get through this too. I've done it before, and I'm sure I can do it well!"
"Han Kun, my sister gave birth to twins, have you seen them? They're so cute!"
Han Juhua chattered on and on, but unfortunately Han Kun rarely paid attention to her. Eventually, she became so impatient that she turned and left.
Before I even reached the door, I saw a girl carrying a large bundle of firewood, walking in shakily.
Han Kun frowned, walked to the girl's side, and said softly, "Hold her less, don't let her fall!"
"I understand, thank you!"
Seeing that the man had taken the firewood from her hands, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly.
"You should go and start the fire!"
The girl was rather thin and timid; she was too afraid to look at men.
The girl nodded, hurriedly ran to the stove, and blushed as she began adding firewood to the fire.
Han Kun smiled, turned around, and walked out. Thinking about Han Juhua, and then about the girl from earlier, he suddenly sighed. Women, being too proactive isn't good, and being too shy is awkward too. But how many women are as good as Han Luoxue?
Needless to say, she's beautiful, and more importantly, she's poised and elegant. It's just a pity that her father spoke up a little too late. If she had acted sooner, perhaps Han Luoxue's twins would have been hers.
However, what Han Kun didn't know was that Han Juhua had seen what he had just done to that girl.
"You slut, you damned slut! How dare you seduce the man I've set my sights on!"
Han Juhua's eyes were cold and piercing as she stared intently at the girl. If she could, she would have loved to go over there right now and tear the girl apart.
Han Luoxue didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. She simply took out the seasonings and went back to her room to be with her child.
I'm still a bit tired these past couple of days, but the two little ones seem to be in much better spirits.
"Snow Girl, let's take the baby out tonight and show everyone!"
Aunt Xu was still taking care of the two little ones, and she didn't forget her responsibilities after returning home.
"Oh, isn't it a bit too much trouble?"
"Let's treat it as a full moon celebration. Xue'er, they've already reached their one-month milestone. Shouldn't we have the proper ceremonies?"
Han Luoxue overlooked this point. She had been waiting for news from Ouyang Zhen. Ouyang Zhen had said that the full moon banquet would definitely be held, but it depended on the timing.
She could easily hold one in the village first, since that wouldn't conflict with holding one in the capital!
"That works too. I remember that red eggs are given out at the full moon celebration, right?"
Aunt Xu nodded: "Usually we would give out red eggs! But that's not realistic now, with so many people coming, how many eggs would that be!"
Han Luoxue didn't mind: "It's all for good luck, I still have some eggs! But I'll need to find a few more big pots, sigh, we still don't have enough tools at home!"
Aunt Xu's lips twitched violently. "You're going to treat the whole village to a meal? How many people would that take?"
However, at this moment, she would not refute Han Luoxue, but instead suggested, "Then I'll go ask the people outside to see if anyone has any spare pots?"
Han Luoxue nodded. Aunt Xu went out and asked a few other women. The once lively courtyard suddenly became quiet.
A woman asked incredulously, "Aunt Xu, are you serious? Is Xue really going to treat the whole village to eggs?"
You have to understand that at this time, eggs were a rare commodity. There had been a famine recently, and even the adults in the family were struggling to get enough to eat, let alone raise chickens.
Many people haven't eaten eggs in a long time. They usually find it rare to see an egg, so Han Luoxue is actually going to treat the whole village to one.
This is simply too extravagant!
"Yes, we just happened to invite everyone over for dinner today, right? Xue's baby is also turning one month old, so we thought we'd celebrate together. A baby eats an egg on their one-month birthday, which is considered auspicious, so she asked me to come out and ask!"
There was a moment of silence. After a while, someone reacted and shouted, "I have some at home! I'll go home and get it right now!"
"I have one too!"
"I'll go back and get it too!"
