"It's fine if it's just our family, but you also called Lianxiang's family and Shanshui, which makes it a bit difficult!"
Gu Xuelan was cutting side dishes, but she always felt something was wrong.
"Sister-in-law, I not only called Mingzhu's family and Shanshui, I also planned to call Uncle Zhang and his family!"
Cheng Yue smiled.
The Uncle Zhang she was talking about was Zhang the village head. She hadn't thought of this person at first, but when she went to the town with Shanshui in the morning, she met the village head's wife and daughter. After she came back, she thought that it was time to establish a good relationship with the villagers.
The Cheng family in Xinghua Village was not particularly close to anyone, nor was they particularly bad to anyone. They lived their lives behind closed doors and did not care about relationships with their neighbors.
Zhang Lizheng has a good relationship with Cheng Shun, but Cheng Shun often ignores him.
It is said that Zhang Lizheng's father had received favors from her landlord grandfather. After her landlord grandfather passed away, her uncle squandered the family money. At that time, it was Zhang Lizheng's father who protected the young Cheng Shun, which enabled Cheng Shun to settle down in Xinghua Village and marry the extremely strong Jiang.
When Zhang Lizheng's father was dying, Cheng Shun and Jiang had only one son, Cheng Wen. Cheng Wen was already stupid at that time. So, Zhang Lizheng's father was worried about Cheng Shun, so he asked Zhang Lizheng to treat Cheng Shun like his own brother.
Zhang Lizheng also did it.
In Cheng Yue's opinion, Zhang Lizheng's family is indeed a family worth making friends with.
As for other families in the village, only Jiang could get along well with those women. The other members of the Cheng family basically had no friends in the village, which was considered a rarity in this era.
"Please invite Guangming and the others! Great, great! Your father is still mad because Huang Caihua and the others bullied you and your siblings, and Guangming stood up for you! Invite Guangming over tonight for a drink and some bonding time!"
Jiang thought it was a good idea as soon as he heard it and said it immediately.
"Well, when I went to town this morning, I ran into Aunt Wang and Sister Lanhua. They said the peach blossoms had sprouted, so they went to see the hens and eggs. They should be back this afternoon. Mom, go call them later!"
Cheng Yue said.
"Well, all right. Taohua's husband isn't far away, and they'll definitely be back after lunch. It's spring plowing season now, and they can't leave home."
Jiang nodded repeatedly.
"Then we need two tables!"
Gu Xuelan was a little embarrassed. Although their stove was quite big, it could only accommodate one person at a table.
Besides, it doesn’t make sense that when you invite someone to dinner, you have to make them stand by the stove and eat with their bowls in hand!
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? I'm planning to set up two tables. The men who drink will sit at one table, and the women and children who don't drink will sit at another. We have two stoves at home, so don't worry about the table. Leave it to me! I'll cook the base and then I'll do it!"
As soon as Cheng Yue saw Gu Xuelan's worried look, she knew what she was thinking and said with a smile.
After the base ingredients were cooked, Cheng Yue went to the utility room.
There were two square tables in the utility room, which could only seat eight people. Cheng Yue carried them directly into the main room.
Gu Xuelan was confused, but seeing Cheng Yue doing it, she didn't ask anything and just watched from the side.
As for Jiang, she was not worried about anything and went out with her child to treat people to a meal.
Cheng Yue took a small knife and drew a circle in the middle of the square table according to the size of the porcelain basin.
