I got home late today. I was watching a play and that took up even more time. By the time I got home, it was already quite late.
Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui were just about to go down the mountain when Cheng Yue gave out holiday benefits. The shop could be closed on holidays, but the chicken and duck farm couldn't be left unattended, so she gave them extra.
Knowing Cheng Yue's rules, the two happily took their things and went home.
Chen Lin looked away, and suddenly felt that Cui Cui had become even more beautiful...
"A teenager with such a vacant look in his eyes," Cheng Yue suppressed a laugh.
Chen An coughed lightly, "Xiao Lin, aren't you always talking about your cow? Why don't you hurry up and cut some grass?"
Chen Lin looked back at Chen Ancheng and Yue, then at Chen Tong and Chen Ning, and saw that they were all trying not to laugh, so he blushed.
It's better to come to Xinglaiwang; he looks completely bewildered, and no one laughs at him.
Lai Xing and Lai Wang immediately perked up, "Master and Madam, we'll go!"
They were worried they'd be bored when they got back, so isn't this perfect? With them here, these tasks can't be left to the master.
"Let's go together!" Chen Lin said, and immediately went to the yard to get three baskets and three sickles. He then grabbed Lai Xing and Lai Wang and ran off.
This made Cheng Yue and the others burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, Cheng Yue and her two sisters went into the kitchen to cook.
I only ate some wontons for lunch, and half a day later, they were completely digested.
In the evening, Cheng Yue cooked several dishes. Although they were all home-style dishes, the family never got tired of them and ate with gusto, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, the family went to check on the crops in the fields in the morning, and then headed straight to Qingshan Village at noon.
Knowing that Cheng Yue and her group were coming, the Cheng family members kept glancing towards the village entrance. As soon as the group popped their heads out, Cheng Feng started shouting.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad! Aunt and the others are here!"
Cheng Yue heard it from afar and was deeply moved. Only a true family would think of her like this, even though they had just met not long ago.
This shout not only drew out the Cheng family, but also the neighbors from the surrounding area. Looking at the cart full of goods, they couldn't help but feel envious.
"Sister Wu is so lucky! What other family's daughter is so successful? She doesn't even buy this many things, let alone visit her parents' home so often!"
It is said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. No one's daughter becomes someone else's family after she gets married. How can she just go back to her parents' home whenever she wants?
Wu smiled modestly, about to speak, when she was interrupted, "Tch! What kind of daughter is so promising that she runs back to her parents' home every day? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Aunt Zhang from next door glared at her, "Yang Daya, if you can't speak properly, then shut up. Are you trying to impress me? Whether the Cheng family girl is promising or not, no one can see it, do you need to tell me?"
"No wonder your Niu Fen is always smearing others, it's all because of you! All you do is be jealous of others all day long. You should spend more time letting your Niu Dan work in the fields. The lazier you are, the less food you'll get!"
Yang Daya was so angry her eyes almost popped out. She didn't care if people said she had conjunctivitis, but what she hated most was people saying her son was lazy!
Everyone looked at her with disdain, and Yang Daya said angrily, "All you know is how to suck up to people! Let's see what you can get out of it!"
No one bothered to pay her any attention; who couldn't see her blatant jealousy?
Cheng Yue had already arrived and heard what had just been said. She jumped off the oxcart and deliberately said, "Oh, it's Aunt Daya. I was wondering who had such a loud voice and such a confident tone."
Oh, by the way, it's a holiday today, Niu Fen should be back by now! She's more filial and successful than me, she must have brought you lots of nice things, right?
Aunt Zhang and the others chuckled, while Yang Daya was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't say anything.
On this festive occasion, Cheng Yue didn't want to waste her breath arguing with her. She turned around, took a basket of zongzi from the oxcart, and gave three to each of the neighbors standing at the door.
"Aunties and grandmas, these are the rice dumplings I made. Please have a taste."
The group was flattered. "Oh my! This is a zongzi? I've only heard of it but never eaten it. It must have cost a lot of money!"
Chen An and Cheng Yue worked together, "It's not expensive, only a dozen or so coins each!"
Everyone gasped in shock. This was way too expensive! They suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
Yang Daya's face turned even uglier. She regretted not being so sharp-tongued; she might have gotten a zongzi to try!
The Wu family felt a surge of pride; their daughter had truly made them proud!
Cheng Yue said, "We're all neighbors, and you've helped my parents a lot over the years. It's just a few zongzi; consider it my mother's treat for you."
Madam Wu also said, "Just take it if it's given to you!"
Unable to refuse their kind offer, everyone had no choice but to accept it, and they sighed again. This time, not only were they praising Cheng Yue, but they were also praising Chen An.
Not only is the daughter filial, but the son-in-law also cares so much about his wife's family; it's truly rare.
Chen An gave away such an expensive thing without even blinking an eye. He clearly dotes on Cheng Yue. This is what a good life looks like!
After expressing their gratitude, everyone took the rice dumplings and went home.
Cheng Yue and the others entered the courtyard, but Yang Daya was still standing shamelessly at the door, peering inside with longing eyes, her mouth watering.
The whole car was full of food; I wonder if she can finish it all. I wish I could share some with her…
Liu slammed the door shut, smearing Yang Daya's face with soot.
"Ptooey! What nonsense!"
"If you don't leave now, you'll be in for a big broom!" Madam Liu wasn't one to be trifled with. She might have a good temper, but that didn't mean she'd let anyone bully her!
This Yang Daya often speaks ill of them behind their backs and tries to trip them up. Today she made things difficult for them again. It's really annoying.
Yang Daya had an unusually thick skin and was still being stubborn, saying, "What business is it of yours if I'm standing outside? You, a junior, are trying to act tough with me. Go ahead and hit me!"
"Ouch! You, you really dare to hit people!" Yang Daya had barely finished speaking when a stick flew and hit her foot, making her wince in pain.
Before Liu could react, Cheng Yue said, "Didn't you say you'd try hitting me? I'm doing you a favor. What, aren't you going to thank me?"
"You...! Just you wait!" Yang Daya trembled. This brat was really different from when she was a child; she actually dared to hit her!
After saying that, she limped away at a very fast speed, afraid that if she ran too slow, Cheng Yue would beat her again.
