The happiest person was Mrs. Hu, whose son and grandson had returned safely.
Originally, my son-in-law and daughter were going to a wedding banquet today, and Qin Yilin and Ding Jiajia weren't coming. Since there were only a few people at home, we thought we could just have a simple meal and didn't prepare many dishes. Now that the people who were away have returned and the wedding banquet is over, my daughter and son-in-law invited the Ding family of three to have a get-together, and suddenly the table is full of people!
Butcher Hu immediately went to kill the chicken and slaughter the rabbit, while his mother scooped up rice and washed it again.
Several horse-drawn carriages were parked in the courtyard. When they went there, the carriages carried the medicinal herbs, while the donkeys carried the people. After selling the herbs, they also bought a lot of other goods and brought them back in the carriages.
The cart frame was dismantled, and the horses were taken out by Feng Daman and a few other men to feed them, while the other men were responsible for unloading the cargo.
Fan He chattered on, explaining, "Mother, Father, you have no idea how many good things my little uncle bought!"
He bought so many kinds of fabric, but don't get the idea, he only bought enough fabric for one set of clothes, so there's definitely nothing for us;
The pastries and snacks were too far to bring back, but I bought a lot of candied hawthorns and other treats. Second sister, younger brother, and younger sister, you can go and tease your uncle!
Towards the end, he couldn't help but mischievously tease his uncle.
Xinghui snorted, "I'm not going to bother my uncle. That's for my aunt later! I'll wait until my aunt marries into the family and then share it with us!"
Dahe had no good intentions; he let them cause trouble. But was it really okay for them to cause trouble?
Fan Hu, who was always quiet, just looked at Ding Jiajia with curiosity.
Wanxia stood aside, smiling happily, her earlier morning's stress from attending a wedding banquet completely gone.
Compared to her older brother's wedding, she was more looking forward to her younger uncle's and Aunt Jiajia's wedding.
Ding Jiajia blushed, but she couldn't go forward and let Hu Wenhua divide it up, otherwise it would be like admitting it first. But all the children were looking at her, so she could only look at Hu Wenhua.
Hu Wenhua couldn't bear to see the person he cared about so much being teased. He glared at Dahe and said generously, "Don't listen to Dahe's nonsense! We have them all, I'll get them for you later."
Fan He persisted, shouting loudly, "Hey, Uncle, don't get the wrong thing! If you give us the carefully selected betrothal gifts, we'll be in deep trouble later!"
Seeing Ding Jiajia so embarrassed she was about to run away, Hu Wenhua threatened fiercely, "Say one more word, and I won't take you out next time!"
Fan He wasn't afraid at all. "Ha, the next time I sell medicinal herbs won't be until the end of the year, I don't care!"
By then, Ding Jiajia would definitely have entered the family and become his aunt. If he begged her, would he be afraid that his uncle wouldn't listen to her?
Hu Wenhua drew out an "oh" and asked, "Then if you're going out next month, don't come begging me."
Fan He was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "Middle of next month? How is that so close? Who said that? Uncle, are you lying to me!"
That's impossible! It's already the end of the month! You're going out again after less than half a month at home? And what would you be going out for? All the medicinal herbs are already sold out.
There's only dried tangerine peel left in the warehouse, but it needs to be stored for a long time before being sold. Besides, it's not worth it to go out and sell just for that little bit of dried tangerine peel.
Seeing his older and younger siblings' knowing smiles, he realized something and quickly looked at his mother, who was watching the scene unfold, and asked, "Mother, is what Uncle said true?"
Unable to watch the play any longer, Shuiqing had no choice but to recount the story of the toothbrush shop.
