Ever since Song Xiaoni found her family and returned to Songjia Village, Zhu Yushan had never seen her again. When he saw her again, he was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.
The Zhu family members who were following Zhu Yushan to move stools saw him standing there and talking, and they all moved forward curiously.
When they saw Song Xiaoni, the Zhu family couldn't remember for a moment which family this girl came from.
Zhu Yushan's mother, Mrs. Wu, looked at Song Xiaoni's red face, then looked at her silly son who was laughing like a fool. She quickly walked over to Song Xiaoni and asked Zhu Yushan, "Whose girl is this? Why don't you introduce her to me?"
Mrs. Wu looked at Zhu Yushan with disappointment. This silly boy, don’t think she can’t see that his eyes are about to fall on that girl. Why doesn’t he have the brains to say a few words when he likes that girl!
Zhu Yushan didn't blush at first, but because of the constant teasing from his family members, a man couldn't help but blush.
He reached out and pulled his mother back from Song Xiaoni, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaoni, my mother didn't mean any harm."
Yo yo yo, look at that shout, how friendly~
The Zhu family's curious gazes were about to become reality.
Song Xiaoni felt the Zhu family's fiery gazes, and her head almost dropped to the ground.
She didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she quickly found an excuse and turned back to the yard.
As for outside, there weren't many people there and the tables hadn't been set up, so An'an and the others were enough.
Song Xiaoni ran away as if escaping. The Zhu family set up the table and sat on stools to "interrogate" Zhu Yushan.
Song Xiaoni went back to the yard and wanted to help with cooking, but her face felt like it was on fire, so she had no choice but to wash her face with the freshly drawn well water.
Every household that comes here marks the items they bring with them, so when the party is over they will know which ones belong to them.
Because of the banquet held by the Shen and Zhang families, Shen Yu'an also gave the workers in the workshop a day off.
Those who brought tables and stools consciously placed the tables on both sides of the road according to the arrangements of Chen Yu'an or Zhang Wendong, leaving a path empty.
Basically every family brought a table and stools. After all, it was a physically demanding job, but there was money to be made, which was a good thing that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Besides, every family has several people. Sitting like this is just like moving a table to another place for the family to eat.
They all arrived early, and the people in the yard had not yet had time to cook.
The people outside brought stools, took out a handful of melon seeds from their pockets and shared them with each other, chatting while eating, and occasionally peeking into the yard.
What's cooking here? It smells so good. The rice hasn't even been served yet but the smell has spread ten miles away.
Everyone was so tempted by the smell that they didn't want to talk anymore. They kept swallowing their saliva and glancing towards the yard.
There were people in the yard, and soon one dish after another was brought out.
Once the dishes were served, no one had time to care about anything else.
Why?
Of course, they were mesmerized by the dishes served. They couldn’t stop eating once they picked up their chopsticks.
Just as two dishes were served, Ji Xun came back with two people, an old man who looked energetic and a young man.
The old man looked kind-hearted as he leaned on his cane.
Looking at the lively scene outside the Shen family, Ji Xun walked up to a person sitting outside and asked, "What happened?"
What’s the reason for such a big banquet?
What important things did he miss during the time he was away?
Just then, Shen Ming came out with a tray of food. Seeing Ji Xun standing there, he put all the food on the table and said, "Ji boy, what are you doing standing there after you come back? Come in quickly."
"Hey, Uncle Shen Ming, what happened in our family?"
Ji Xun turned around and supported the old man, and asked the questions in his mind.
"It's not Dalang and the other boys, they all passed the exam and became scholars, so we decided to set up a banquet and invite everyone to celebrate together."
Ji Xun was all smiles, it was time for the college entrance examination results to be announced, he was not surprised at all that Shen Dalang and the others passed the examination to become scholars.
Shen Ming saw that Ji Xun had brought two strangers with him and asked, "Who are this old man and this young man?"
Ji Xun helped the old man walk inside, saying as he walked, "Come on, let's talk inside the courtyard."
A few people returned to the yard, where people were busy cooking.
When everyone saw Ji Xun coming back with his men, they didn't care who they brought back, and immediately asked, "Have you had lunch?"
The old man and the young man who were helped in by Ji Xun greeted everyone with a smile.
Ji Xun came back without eating, so Song asked him to bring his people to sit at the old man's table first.
Ji Xun didn't bother to be polite with her and took the two of them to sit at the Shen family's table.
Ji Xun's return did not attract much attention. After all, everyone was busy and had no time to care about when and how many people came.
As dish after dish was served on the table, the villagers began to eat slower.
The meals prepared by the Shen family are generous in portion, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat.
The meal lasted more than an hour. Everyone's stomachs were full and they sat on the stools without even wanting to move.
But looking at the unfinished food on the table, everyone felt heartbroken. It was such a pity to waste it.
Just when everyone was thinking about eating a few more bites, it was better to eat so much delicious food that even if they couldn't walk, it would be better than wasting it.
As a result, Song came out and said that the leftovers could be packed up and taken away, but they had to be served in their own bowls and plates.
Basically, each family occupied a table, and each family arranged for two people to take the jars home to pack up the leftovers, while the rest of the people just sat there and waited.
After eating and having some free time, the people became active again and started chatting about all sorts of things.
After all, people are grateful for what they have received, so everyone spoke highly of the Shen family.
It wasn't that he said this against his will. After all, the Shen family and the Zhang family did have a good reputation in the village.
Those who went home to get bowls and plates came back soon. Some people even brought jars. No matter what was left on the table, they just poured it all together. They thought it was the leftovers from their family members and they didn't look down on it.
Besides, how can I dislike this if I can’t even get enough to eat?
Without waiting for the Shen family to say anything, these people took the initiative to help the Shen family clean the area outside the yard.
Everyone, without distinguishing between their own family and their own, collected the plates and bowls on the table and took them to the yard to start washing them.
Some people even used their own brooms to sweep the floor and cleared away all the garbage.
The old man who came back with Ji Xun looked at the scene and said with a kind smile: "The Shen family is popular in this village."
Ji Xun replied: "This is all thanks to Miss Shen, the person you asked me to find, the paper-making recipe she came up with, and she built a workshop to benefit the villagers..."
