After arriving home, Cheng Yue simply wiped her hair with a handkerchief, tied her hair into a bun, wrapped it with a cloth, and started to work.
Everyone who wants to help has come, so there is no reason for her, the head of the family, not to take action.
Shanshui and Cheng Wu took the Cheng Jinyan brothers to the mountains. They were accompanied by the second son of Zhang Lizheng and several other young men from the village.
Everyone sighed that the Cheng family had really changed a lot!
The fat girl who used to be the laziest has become diligent now. Not only has she become more diligent, but she has also lost a lot of weight. Although she is still fatter than many girls, her facial features can still be seen clearly.
You know what, if she loses a little more weight, she'll look good.
The most mischievous second grandson not only went to work in the government office, but is also working now!
Not to mention the grandson of the National People's Congress, who has become the best in Taoyuan County, but he still wears coarse clothes and goes to the mountains to chop firewood. It seems that this buffet is not held for him. He is not like other scholars in the village who do nothing.
Cheng Yue followed Cheng Wen in the kitchen to make the hot pot soup base.
Gu Xuelan and a group of women were cutting vegetables in the yard, and Jiang, holding the child, would help out from time to time.
Cheng Shun was outside the gate calling on the men from the village to come and help build the stove together.
Since they were eating hotpot, they had to borrow tables and benches from villagers. They couldn't make a circle in the middle like they did with their own table, so the Cheng family planned to build a stove with stones and place the table next to it. When the time came, they would set out the dishes, bowls and chopsticks, and everyone would pick up the dishes from the pot with their own bowls.
We are all from the same village, so there is no need to be so particular.
Only the four tables in the room had holes in them so the guests could sit down and eat.
The villagers also understood the Cheng family's point. After all, the county magistrate was the one working in the house.
They ate with bowls outside, but the managers of the Xie and Huang families were different. They also ate with bowls outside.
As long as there is food and enough to eat, they are happy.
When brother and sister Cheng Wen and Cheng Yue had finished cooking the soup base and asked someone to help bring it to the stove outside, Lord Ji arrived.
Xinghua Village is close to the city, but not everyone has the opportunity to see the county magistrate at such a close distance.
Everyone stared at the carriage and automatically made way for it to lead to the Cheng family's gate.
"My fellow villagers, please don't be shy today. I'm a friend of the Cheng family, and I'm here to share in the good fortune!"
Lord Ji got off the carriage, looked at each villager with a smile, and spoke very kindly.
Zhang Lizheng Cheng Shun and Cheng Wu hurried forward to greet them. They originally wanted to take Shanshui with them, but Shanshui was chopping wood and was not interested in officials, so he did not come out.
The only people following Lord Ji were Old Madam Shen and Xue Hanyu, no other members of the Shen family.
Lord Ji, like a junior, and Xue Hanyu supported Old Madam Shen on both sides as they went to the Cheng family's house.
Old Mrs. Shen is also a kind old lady. Whenever the villagers' eyes meet hers, she is very gentle and makes people feel good about her.
The villagers were all guessing the identities of Old Lady Shen and Xue Hanyu.
But more people were talking about Lord Ji.
Their county magistrate is really young and handsome!
Except for being a little taller than the scholar of the Cheng family, they are very similar in other aspects!
They also thought that the young scholar of the Cheng family had a similar temperament to Lord Ji. Did this mean that the young scholar was also likely to become an official?
