Chapter 106 Notice
But they also have many other things to deal with.
Finally, after some discussion, it was decided to let the young men in the family go to help harvest the crops. After all, there is strength in numbers, and the key is to bring all the mature crops in the fields home as soon as possible.
"Okay, please let them come and help."
There are many young and strong people in the Zhao family. If everyone works together, they can easily finish all the work on these pieces of land within a day.
The work of harvesting in autumn is quite arduous. Not only does one have to race against time but one also has to consider the uncertainty factors brought about by weather changes.
In order to ensure the safe storage of food, it is of utmost importance to dry and preserve it as quickly as possible.
"Well, I will invite everyone to come and give support then."
Zhao Yunfeng also holds the same opinion.
After all, there are ten young men in the Zhao family, and they are strong enough. With the help of the four brothers, it won’t take too much time to take over Zhao Chunhua’s territory first.
Such division of labor and cooperation can greatly improve efficiency, with everyone doing their part and achieving twice the result with half the effort.
In the main hall, the older generation of elders sat leisurely chatting, discussing the big and small matters at home and some good memories of the past.
The younger generation is busy outside, preparing for today's dinner.
Everyone is contributing their own efforts in the hope of presenting a warm and rich family gathering for everyone.
Little Stone is now being held by an adult and playing with a group of children of similar age.
Unless he is hungry or needs a diaper changed, the child is usually very well-behaved and rarely makes a fuss about looking for his mother, Zhao Chunhua.
This was the first time for him to come into contact with so many children of the same age. Even though he could not speak any coherent words and could only babble, the happy atmosphere among the children infected everyone present.
Starting from three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered together to have dinner.
The whole yard looked even more lively after a simple decoration. Five large round tables were arranged in order, and were already filled with all the relatives who came to attend the banquet.
First came the host Zhao couple and a team of nine people including Zhao Yunfeng; next came the next cousins in the family. Except for Zhao Yiyue who was too young to attend the event and Zhao Yichen who came alone, the other eight married men and their spouses all attended. In this way, the number of guests from these two groups alone reached 27.
In addition, four members from Ni Qianyu's family also joined the feast.
Regrettably, although good friends Shu Yixian and Shen Mai, who had originally planned to attend the event, arrived as scheduled, another important guest, Tang Jianxi, who was pregnant, was unable to attend the event because the doctor specifically instructed that the baby's condition was not ideal and she needed to rest and not travel far.
However, out of courtesy and to express her best wishes for her and the future newborn, although she was unable to attend in person, she asked her friend to bring a carefully selected gift to express her apology.
In addition to the main participants mentioned above, some family members from more distant branches were also invited to participate, especially those nephews and nieces who had grown up but were still in their teenage years.
However, for those children who are too young to participate in the formal dining program, their parents will prepare food for them in advance at home or on site to prevent them from going hungry and affecting their healthy development and growth.
Eight special dishes are carefully prepared on each table for the guests to taste and enjoy, including a freshly baked fragrant whole fish, half a roast duck with attractive color, spicy and mouth-watering stir-fried pork strips, juicy and delicious beef sauce with eggplant shreds, crisp and refreshing with a hint of spicy green pepper stir-fried potato shreds, golden and delicious braised tofu cubes, steaming and attractive soup with high nutritional value of pakchoy and pork, and the last dish is refreshing cold cucumber strips to regulate appetite and increase taste diversity.
Chen Mai, who had just arrived at the destination and had not had time to sit down and take a breath, hurriedly approached Zhao Chunhua and took the initiative to explain the specific circumstances of why Tang Jianxi could not come with them.
In fact, she had taken time out to visit the other party's home earlier this morning and wanted to pick up Tang Jianxi to go here together to celebrate this family event... Just as they were about to leave, a small accident suddenly happened.
Tang Jianxi, who was originally standing well, accidentally swayed forward and almost fell down, perhaps because he was too excited or for other reasons. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and no more serious consequences were caused.
Shen Mai noticed that her complexion was not very good, so he asked Shu Yixian to go to the village to ask an old Chinese doctor to come and help.
After carefully taking her pulse, they discovered that Tang Jianxi was more than two months pregnant.
Perhaps because there were too many and complicated things happening during this period, the child's condition became somewhat unstable.
Therefore, from that moment on, Tang Jianxi had to rest and recuperate at home and temporarily put aside all housework.
After carefully calculating the time, it was found that the little life in the belly was present when Shu Changqi was still alive, but no one noticed it at that time.
Later, the family went through a series of busy affairs dealing with the funeral of Shu Changqi and his son Shu Zhenglian; then Zhao Chunhua also fell ill and needed care and attention; then it was the day that Zhao Chunhua moved out of the old house.
That period was particularly difficult for Tang Jianxi, because she had to take care of the daily affairs of the entire family by herself - including the family's food, clothing, housing and other issues, which were previously taken care of by Zhao Chunhua and she didn't have to worry about them.
Despite this, deep down Zhao Chunhua decided that after returning home she would prepare some special things to visit Tang Jianxi who was pregnant.
To be honest, she didn't have a very good impression of their first meeting, and this feeling hasn't changed much until now.
But out of the kindness and compassion that is inherent in human nature, she always tries to show more tolerance and understanding, especially towards pregnant women, children and the elderly.
After lunch, Shen Mai took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes to reduce the burden on other family members.
At the same time, Shu Yixian was not idle either. He followed other family members to distribute tables and chairs to each neighbor's home.
