Chapter 309: Warm Hospitality!
Not long after they returned, Qin Jiang and Qin Qinglin also came back with the people from Qinjia Village who were working in the shop.
Seeing that everyone was there and the kitchen was almost ready, Mrs. Qin asked Li to go to the kitchen to inform everyone that dinner was ready.
Old Man Qin led everyone to the front hall to sit at their tables. Country people didn't have so many rules, so men and women were not separated.
Half of the dishes today were prepared by Chef Sun’s grandson, and he understood what the princess meant.
Each dish not only satisfied Gu Yunfei's appetite with its generous portions, but also had impeccable taste and was presented very well.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei tasted the food and felt that it was comparable to what Chef Sun made, and some dishes were even better.
Mrs. Qin had a lot of good wine brought in so that everyone could drink as much as they wanted, with only one request: don't get drunk.
After all, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to travel, and it would be very uncomfortable if I had a hangover.
But just in case, Li asked the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup.
Even if you don't get drunk after drinking, a bowl of sobering soup will make you feel better.
The wine was good, the meat was good, everyone was happy and satisfied with the meal, and they chatted together. The Qin family was humble and the atmosphere of the dinner was very good.
Gu Jinghuai held his daughter in his arms throughout dinner. The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, which surprised everyone.
What shocked the people of Qinjia Village the most was that Gu Jinghuai was taking care of the child. Even in the countryside, there were very few men taking care of children.
This also made the people in Qinjia Village more certain of Qin Zhizhi's status and favor in the Gu family.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat together and chatted, feeling very happy.
When they learned that Qin Zhizhi and the Qin family, as well as Gu Yunfei, Ning Ning and Wang Xinru, had prepared New Year's goods for the people of Qinjia Village, everyone was deeply moved.
Some men had red eyes and were about to cry.
"My dear uncles, the New Year's goods are all in my and my husband's yard. I'll have to trouble you to get up early tomorrow and help load the car."
The Wang family's convoy will arrive at the Qin family early tomorrow morning. There are many people and the loading can be done quickly, so there is no need to load everything in advance.
"Zhizhi, we can't thank you enough for sending so many New Year's goods to our village. It's our duty to load them up. Don't worry, we'll get up early."
When the people in Qinjia Village heard that they would have to load the trucks the next morning, they became excited because they knew there was work to do.
"Thank you all for your hard work, uncles and aunts!" Qin Zhizhi was sweet-spoken. Everyone liked her, so it was most appropriate for her to come forward and talk about this matter.
"What's so hard about this? Life is so much happier now than before. These are just small tasks. We have plenty of energy."
"That's right. Now we have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and we get paid. Our life at home is getting better and better."
"That's right. We used to only eat meat during Chinese New Year, but now we have it every meal!"
.....
Speaking of this, the people of Qinjia Village have a lot to say. They live well on the farm and earn a lot.
Some of the family members worked in workshops, some came to help in shops in Beijing, and some helped grow peppers, corn, etc. in the village.
Every year, there is income from mountain products, spring bamboo shoots, etc. Those who don’t want to go too far away from home can also arrange work in Wang’s shop in the county town.
Qinjia Village is now considered a relatively wealthy village within a radius of dozens of miles. Even families in the county town may not live as prosperously as they do.
Mrs. Qin and her mother-in-law arranged accommodation for everyone early on.
After eating and drinking, as they had to get up early tomorrow morning, the three Qinshan brothers personally took everyone to the rest area.
Qin Shan said a little embarrassedly, "There are too many people here today, so I have to ask you two to share a room."
"Brother Dashan, you are too polite. We country people don't care about such things."
"Such a nice place to stay, let alone two people sharing a room, we would be happy even if there were several people in one."
"We are willing to sleep on the floor even if we don't have enough space to live there."
"We eat and live for free, and we even get free things when we leave. How can we have the nerve to complain?"
"That's right, don't worry about us. We will allocate accommodation on our own. You should go and rest soon."
"Yes, you stay with us at the farm every day. Now that you're back, go and talk to Aunt Qin."
.....
The people in Qinjia Village don’t mind living in a room with two people. They are already very satisfied with it.
The three brothers didn't have to worry at all. They formed teams of two and went in to rest.
The three brothers felt relieved when they saw that everyone had found their own rooms and shelter.
When the three brothers returned to their mother's yard, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai had already gone back with their children. Mrs. Qin asked them to go back first.
Qin He was still a little disappointed that his granddaughter had not yet taken good care of him.
Seeing her second son's expression, Granny Qin said with some disdain, "It's not like we won't see each other tomorrow. If you want to, go see Nian Nian."
"I haven't seen Nian Nian for several days." Qin He felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone else laughed when they heard this. Nian Nian is so cute, who wouldn’t like her?
"Okay, you've been tired all day. Go back and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow." Mrs. Qin urged her children and grandchildren to go back and rest.
"Princess, you don't have to get up early tomorrow. It's too tiring!" Mrs. Qin felt sorry for her granddaughter-in-law and made an exception for her.
Everyone else tried to hold back their laughter when they heard this, and Gu Yunfei felt a little shy.
"Grandma, no need, I can get up!"
"Princess, it's okay. We don't have so many rules in our family. We are here, and no one will blame you." Li said with a smile.
Gu Yunfei didn't want to dwell on this matter, so she could only nod obediently. As for whether to get up early tomorrow, it was up to her to decide.
After leaving Qin Pozi's yard and on the way back, Qin Qingyuan was also persuading her.
"Husband, my sister-in-law and I have an appointment. Remember to wake me up tomorrow."
"Sister, come tomorrow too!" This time it was Qin Qingyuan's turn to be surprised.
"Of course, you guys get up first and help pack the New Year's goods, we'll deliver them later."
Qin Zhizhi and Wang Xinru had agreed on the time for the convoy to arrive at the Qin residence, and Gu Yunfei naturally knew it as well.
"What about Nian Nian?"
Qin Qingyuan thought his sister would bring her niece Gu Nian with her, and was a little worried about having such a young child get up so early.
"Nian Nian doesn't have to come, just let someone watch."
"That's best!"
"Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law are not stupid. Go back and rest quickly."
"My wife, are you starting to dislike me? I'm so sad!"
"No, I'm just worried about getting up late tomorrow morning."
"I don't believe it unless my wife kisses me!"
"No, the servants are all here!"
"Then let's go back to the room and kiss my wife again!"
"No fooling around tonight!"
"That's no joke! It's obvious that my wife dislikes me!"
…
The two of them joked and laughed all the way back to the yard, and the servants who served them thought they were deaf.
The Duke of Xian has been unbearable to watch since he got married, especially when it comes to acting like a spoiled child with the princess.
