Adopting a godparent is a big deal.
Su Huaiyuan went personally to inform Cai Qingwen and his wife, as well as other people in the cowshed, and asked them to come to his house three days later to witness the event and have a meal.
After Cai Qingwen and the others learned the news, they all congratulated Su Huaiyuan and Lao Feng, and felt happy for Lao Feng in their hearts.
They, Grandpa Feng and grandson, have been getting along for many years. They are not only neighbors, but also relatives and friends. Before Su Huaiyuan's family came, the situation of Grandpa Feng and grandson was not very good, and everyone wanted to help but couldn't do much.
In the end, unexpectedly, when Su Huaiyuan's family came, not only did the lives of Grandpa Feng and his grandson turn upside down, but their lives also became different.
Now, Feng Lu recognized Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru as his godparents, which meant that the child would have someone to rely on in the future. Even if his grandfather was not around, he still had his godparents.
Feng Lu's recognition of his godparents was equivalent to indirectly recognizing a group of godparents, uncles, and aunts. This was a real family of relatives.
Old Feng really didn't expect that Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru attached so much importance to recognizing their relatives. He was extremely grateful for being so kind to his grandson, and he also felt that they were lucky to have such good relatives.
Qiao Jiuru recognized Feng Lu as his god relative, and he even went out of his way to tell Bai Lianshan that Uncle Jiu was here to tell him.
When Bai Lianshan's uncle heard that the two of them wanted to adopt Old Feng's grandson as a godparent, he also thought that the two of them were kind-hearted and a good family. However, they had never thought of adopting the Su family as a godparent, and this time, Old Feng had snatched the opportunity away from them.
Su Zezhou Wanwan also knew that her parents-in-law had recognized Feng Lu as their godparents, which meant that Feng Lu would be their godson from now on, and she was very happy.
After all, for the past three years, Feng Lu had helped take care of their eldest son whenever he was free. It was only thanks to this child's frequent help that they wouldn't have it so easy otherwise.
"Mom, even though you're the godparents, we watched Lu grow up. Now he's our godnephew, so we should give him a gift, right?!"
This was the first godparent in their family, and Su Ze liked Feng Lu, so naturally he had to make some preparations to show his affection, so he discussed it with his mother.
"Prepare a piece of gold leaf for him tonight. It's thin and won't be discovered if he carries it with him."
Qiao Jiuru had given his eldest son and his wife some emergency money before. They couldn't take out other good things, and they were not as cost-effective as this gold leaf, so he gave his eldest son some advice.
Su Ze also thought it was a good idea to give them gold leaves. Gold leaves were just as effective as money. He had no regrets about giving them away. His mother had secretly given them at least twenty pieces of gold leaves, and there were also several hundred yuan. He really didn't need money.
That night, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan discussed it.
On the day of recognizing their godparents, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan also prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
The time for the adoption was agreed to be at night, after work, when no one would pay attention to them after dark.
When it was almost time to get off work, Qiao Jiuru, Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Meihua, and Aunt Li went to the Su family in advance to prepare dinner. This was a good idea agreed upon by Su Huaiyuan, Qiao Jiuru, and everyone else, and they strongly invited everyone to come and witness it.
This is a good thing and a happy event. The Su family also has the ability to do so, so no one is trying to refuse.
However, at noon, every household in the cowshed brought over the evening's food and some gifts in advance.
For example, Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua sent ten eggs and three catties of rice. Aunt Li also sent a dozen eggs, three catties of rice, and two catties of noodles. Others also sent grains, eggs, and some wild delicacies.
After all, they had very little to show for it, and rice, flour, and eggs were the most respectable things they had now. The key point was that Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru had helped them get them.
Before the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan led everyone into the mountains again. This year, of course, they weren't as lucky as last year; they didn't catch any wild deer, but they did catch a few plump goats, two in a row, and they caught them all.
The last family got half of such a fat goat, and the rest was entrusted to Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan to exchange for money or food.
Finally, after the sheep were sold, each household received more than 40 yuan and more than 100 kilograms of rice and flour.
This 100-plus kilograms of rice and flour mixed together could feed them for three months, not only solving their food and clothing problems but also giving them peace of mind. In addition to giving them confidence, they all felt much more at ease.
As a result, after Zhou Meihua and Aunt Li entered the Su family's kitchen and saw what Qiao Jiuru took out, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Two big fat chickens, two big fat rabbits, five dried salted fish, dozens of eggs, pickled wild delicacies, seaweed, beans, radishes and vegetables.
"Don't look at me, hurry up and do it, otherwise you don't know when you can have dinner."
Seeing how stunned they were, Qiao Jiuru hurriedly urged them, saying that she had already started chopping the rabbit meat, and had to quickly prepare one for stewing with beans and the other for braising.
Zhou Wanwan already knew what she was going to have for dinner, so in order to eat earlier, she quickly started chopping the chicken.
They killed the chicken and rabbit at noon and put them in cool water. Otherwise, they would go bad easily if left out in the afternoon in this weather.
Zhou Meihua and Aunt Li came to their senses after hearing what Qiao Jiuru said. Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had started fighting, they hurried to help.
Lighting the fire, cooking, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, two stoves and two furnaces were all lit at the same time.
On the two stoves were stewed rabbit meat with beans and fat chicken with wild delicacies. One stove was used for steaming rice and the other for cooking.
In addition to these dishes, Qiao Jiuru also prepared some extra vegetables, such as kimchi and peanuts.
An hour and a half later, Uncle Jiu Bai Lianshan arrived quietly. The men were eating in Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan's room, while the women and children went to Su Ze's room to eat.
Four main dishes, a fried egg, a steamed salted fish, three vegetables, and a seaweed soup.
Seaweed is delicious even without egg drops, it has a good texture and the soup is tasty too. This is what Su Feng sends to them from Su Huazhu every two months, and he sends several kilograms each time, which can last for several months.
Su Feng not only sent money to his mother and sister, but also to Bai Lianshan and Uncle Jiu. Therefore, Qiao Jiuru did not need to send money to them specially.
