Since the restaurant returned to serving hot pot.
The shop stays open very late.
The shop closed more than half an hour later than in the summer.
Chang Fu and Chang Yu didn't return until the moon and stars were high in the sky and it was completely dark.
In the past, dinner was always eaten together in the main room of the second courtyard.
Because the mother-in-law came.
Yan Xia then set out dinner on the stone table in the third courtyard.
Lanterns were lit along the connecting corridors and outside the houses, making it quite bright. Fortunately, it was only autumn, so it wasn't too cold to eat outside. With three more people, the courtyard became even more lively.
Yan Xia had Chang Lu carry Jing Shui outside and brought her a chair. She then laid two layers of soft cushions on the chair before letting Jing Shui sit down. To prevent her from catching a cold, she even took out a small blanket from the couch. Only after Wang Jing Shui was wrapped up tightly did Yan Xia feel relieved enough to sit down and eat.
She thought, "We can't all eat together while my youngest daughter-in-law is all alone in the house."
Yan Xia's considerations were very thorough.
When Xu Chunxia and her son Wang Yuanshan, who were sitting at the table, saw this scene, they suddenly felt a warm current flow into their hearts.
Recalling how Yan Xia had helped their family in the past, and how kind she had been to their daughter and sister, a burning heat rose in their eyes, which quickly welled up with tears. At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
[Target person detected]
[Name: Xu Chunxia, Wang Yuanshan]
Age: 35-16
[Favorability: 100 100]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 200 points........]
[...]
Yan Xia had just sat down when she heard the system announcement.
She gained another two hundred points.
Unexpectedly, her casual act won over both her mother-in-law and Wang Yuanshan.
That was really unexpected.
Yan Xia smiled even more happily.
Two hundred more points means she has two million more money in the modern world, oh my god!!
She's going to be rich!!
Yan Xia screamed wildly in her heart.
After a few moments, she calmed herself down and said, "Alright, everyone's here, let's eat!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone started eating.
There was no rule in the Yan family that one should not speak while eating or sleeping, so the sounds of laughter and chatter during meals could be heard throughout the entire three-courtyard compound.
The meal took half an hour to finish.
Because it was getting late, after the dinner, Yan Xia asked Da Liang to drive the three of them home, so they wouldn't have to walk for so long.
As for Wang Jingshui, after eating and drinking her fill, her discomfort gradually subsided. Because she had seen her family, she was in an exceptionally good mood when she lay back in bed, her face beaming with happiness.
Not only that.
Before Yan Xia returned to the second courtyard, she went to her room, covered her with a blanket, and then left with peace of mind.
Of course, before leaving, I also hugged the adorable little dumpling.
The child is sleepy.
When Yan Xia came in, Tuanzi was already asleep.
Sleeping more helps them grow faster. Yan Xia's heart melted as she watched Tuanzi sleeping soundly.
She gently pinched the little dumpling's chubby cheeks.
Only then was it placed in the wet nurse's arms.
Tuanzi is a heavy sleeper; he won't even wake up during thunderstorms.
She doesn't bother anyone at all and doesn't like to cry or fuss.
He was practically her dream grandson.
Yan Xia couldn't possibly neglect Tuanzi just because Jing Shui was pregnant.
She held the bowl of water very level.
The next morning, Yan Xia went to the third courtyard as usual to keep Wang Jingshui company with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Considering that she had been bedridden for a long time to prepare for pregnancy and worried that she would be bored, Yan Xia decided to have lunch in her daughter-in-law's room as well.
This continued for three days in a row.
Wang Jingshui was deeply moved by Yan Xia's thoughtfulness and care, and her dependence on Yan Xia grew stronger day by day.
Even Chang Lu had to step aside.
As the leaves fall and autumn arrives, the courtyard landscape changes from green to yellow, and it is now October 20th.
That morning, the Yan residence was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Maids and servants changed into clean clothes and cleaned the entire residence inside and out. Not only that, but every ten meters along the corridor, a pot of blooming flowers was placed. In late autumn, when everything withers, seeing a splash of bright color can sweep away the gloom in one's heart.
Such a grand occasion would make anyone who didn't know the situation think that someone in the mansion was getting married.
After breakfast, Yan Xia changed into a gold-embroidered cloud-patterned gauze dress, with a thick frost-colored shirt over it, unlike when she was at home, when she would simply tie her hair up.
Today, Yan Xia had Xiao Su style her hair into a gorgeous updo.
Jewelry jingled and jingled all over her head and body.
She resembled the matriarch of a wealthy family.
After getting dressed, Yan Xia went to Chang Yu's room and personally picked out clothes for her.
"Let's go with this light blue outfit. Don't wear the double buns, wear a crystal bun instead, let two strands of hair fall over your shoulders. For shoes, wear those plain, dark silver patterned ones. Don't wear gold, it's too tacky. Hmm... wear this mutton fat jade bracelet on your left hand, leave your right hand empty. Too much complexity will lose its elegant feel..."
It's no wonder Yan Xia is picky.
Today is Changfu Changyu's birthday banquet.
She hosted a banquet for many people.
After dressing up her eldest daughter and choosing an outfit for her jealous youngest daughter, Yan Xia led her children to the entrance of the mansion to greet the guests.
She only invited close relatives and friends, and set up five tables, which was not too extravagant.
After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the first customer arrived.
It was Zuo Li. He walked over with steady steps, carrying a wooden box bigger than his head.
"Haha, Auntie, it's been a few days! You look even younger! When I saw you from afar at the alley entrance, I thought the person standing next to Chang Yu was her older sister. I was wondering why, since Chang Yu only has one younger sister. Well, when I came closer, I realized it was you, Aunt Yan! Haha! By the way, Chang Fu and Chang Yu, happy birthday! This is a birthday gift for you, just a little something, please don't mind it~"
Zuo Li first praised Yan Xia repeatedly, then congratulated Chang Fu and Chang Yu on their birthdays. After speaking, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Chang Fu, and then took out a small object wrapped in layers of cloth from his chest and handed it to Chang Yu.
I don't know what it is.
It's only the size of a palm.
"Thank you, Brother Zuo."
"Thank you, Brother Zuo."
Chang Fu and Chang Yu thanked him one after the other.
"You little rascal, you're teasing me now. I'm not that young, it's just that I'm wearing too much makeup. Today is Changfu and Changyu's birthday banquet, so of course I have to dress up nicely. I can't let my children down."
Yan Xia chuckled lightly. What woman doesn't like being complimented on her youth?
She was no exception.
"Auntie is still very young. Changyu looks just like you. I really thought you were sisters."
After speaking, Zuo Li looked at Chang Yu, and Chang Yu also looked at him.
Their eyes met, their gazes burning.
Chang Yu was stunned. She quickly looked away, lowered her head, stared at her toes, and remained silent.
No one noticed that her face was slightly flushed.
