Then he went to find a sturdy knife, applied a little force along the mark, and then gently slapped it down with his hand, revealing a hollow circle in the middle of the square table.
Gu Xuelan, who was standing by, was already accustomed to the force from her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and husband, so she stepped forward calmly.
"Oh, I see. When the time comes, we'll put the stove under this circle, and then put the porcelain basin on the stove. As long as we add fire underneath, we can cook and eat at the same time!"
Gu Xuelan no longer had to worry about how to eat or whether she could sit properly.
Snapping her fingers, Gu Xuelan looked at Cheng Yue in admiration and said, "Ayue, you're amazing! If I had a brain as sharp as yours, I could open a special embroidery shop!"
"A special embroidery shop?"
Cheng Yue was stunned.
"Yes! If I had a brain as bright as yours, Ayue, I might be able to draw some unique patterns. Over the past ten years, I've worked my way up from embroiderer to owner of an embroidery shop. I have good experience and skills, but the only thing that's lacking is my brain!"
Gu Xuelan pointed to her head and said helplessly.
She didn't know why she suddenly thought of the embroidery shop today, and she even told her sister-in-law about it. After that, she didn't take it to heart. Anyway, with the suppression of Jinxiu Zhuang, even if she had money, she probably wouldn't be able to open the embroidery shop.
She didn't take it to heart, but Cheng Yue did.
That’s right, her sister-in-law is very good at embroidery, and most of the clothes, shoes and socks in the house are made by her.
Moreover, her sister-in-law was able to go from being a village woman to being an embroiderer and eventually become the owner of an embroidery shop, which shows that she is quite capable.
Embroidery shop, well, join the alternative career!
…
In the evening, people who were busy working in the fields would go home for dinner.
Mingzhu's family had no land, so they were the first to arrive at Cheng's house. Shanshui had taken Cheng Yue to the town in the morning and went to do his own business in the afternoon, so he arrived later than Ming's family.
The last to arrive were Zhang Lizheng's family. They had to go home and wash up before coming. When someone invites you to dinner, you can't just show up covered in dirt.
The Zhang family members currently at home include the village head and his wife, their second son Zhang Chengyi, their youngest daughter Zhang Taohua, and their eldest grandson Zhang Lusheng.
Zhang Lizheng has two sons and two daughters. His eldest son and daughter-in-law work in a pastry shop in the town. One is the shopkeeper and the other is a cook who makes pastries. Zhang Lusheng is their five-year-old son and has been raised by Zhang Lizheng and his wife.
Zhang Chengyi is eighteen years old and has not yet married. Zhang Lanhua is the youngest daughter and is only fifteen years old this year.
The whole family was a little confused when they came to eat. They didn't understand what the Cheng family meant. It wasn't a festival, and there was nothing worth celebrating, so why did they invite people to dinner?
The two younger ones in their family are still in the examination room and haven't finished their exams yet. It's not like they have to celebrate because they passed the exam to become scholars.
Although she was confused, the headwoman still picked up twenty eggs and pulled a bunch of spinach from the garden and brought them over.
"Hey girl, you're too polite! I won't dare invite you to my house for dinner anymore!"
When Jiang saw the wife of the village head carrying vegetables, she felt a little unhappy.
It's just an ordinary meal, and you brought something with you? That's too polite!
"Sister-in-law, I saw the chicks you just hatched this year. This spinach is just from the vegetable garden and isn't worth much. You invited our whole family to dinner, and you didn't allow me to add a dish myself!"
