Wei Yuyan was thinking that she should cook at least ten dishes for lunch tomorrow to make it a lively occasion.
That night, Wei Yuyan lay in the big house she had always dreamed of, too excited to sleep.
"Sister-in-law, I have trouble sleeping. Is this really our house?"
Qianqian also chatted with Wei Yuyan.
"Yes, we'll be living here from now on."
Wei Yuyan looked at Qianqian beside her; her innocent smile made her forget many of her troubles.
"Big brother, did you and your wife have a fight?"
Xiao Lei looked at the older brother soaking his feet and couldn't help but ask.
"What do you mean by that?"
Wu Chen was confused.
"Then why do you sleep separately?"
Xiao Lei thought for a moment before speaking, "Although my older brother and sister-in-law usually treat me with courtesy."
But they always sleep separately, which is obviously different from others. Could it be that they had a fight?
"You're overthinking it. There aren't enough rooms for everyone. Once my sister and brother-in-law go back, I'll sleep in the same room as your sister-in-law."
Wu Chen began to think about what excuse he should use to move in.
The next day, the whole family got busy, some buying groceries, others cleaning.
Some were picking vegetables, others were chasing chickens and dogs; everyone's face was beaming with a happy smile.
Today, Wei Yuyan is wearing a red jacket on top and a pink skirt on the bottom. This was prepared by Wu Chen for their wedding, and she hasn't worn it much yet.
"it's beautiful".
Wu Chen recognized it at a glance; it was the material he had personally selected earlier.
"Stop talking nonsense. Have you invited all the guests I asked you to?"
Wei Yuyan poured herself a cup of tea to hide her emotions.
"They've all come, please."
Following Wei Yuyan's instructions, Wu Chen invited the village chief, the Li Fu brothers and their families, and Aunt Guihua to come over for lunch.
"Hmm, two tables are about right, let's squeeze in."
With Yueyue included, there are exactly seventeen people, which is enough for two tables.
Noon~
Aunt Guihua and Sister-in-law Zhang came early to help, otherwise picking vegetables would have taken a lot of time, as there were more than ten people involved.
"Braised fish, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried carrots with eggs, Mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pig's trotters, pork cracklings with cabbage, stir-fried mustard greens, stir-fried mushrooms with chili peppers, and egg drop soup with scallions."
There were ten dishes in total, and the table was almost too small to fit them all.
"Wow, this is too lavish."
The village chief thought to himself that the Wu family was much wealthier than he had imagined.
This was the first time the village chief had ever eaten such a sumptuous meal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the auspicious day for my Wu family to move into our new home. Please enjoy your meal and drinks."
Wu Chen couldn't help but pour himself a glass of wine and toast everyone.
"Brother, you can't drink anymore."
Xiao Lei grabbed Wu Chen's hand, preventing him from having a second drink.
He only found out how serious his older brother's leg injury was when his brother was soaking his feet recently.
"good"
Wu Chen licked his lips; he had drunk too quickly and hadn't tasted it yet.
"This dish is really plentiful."
"It smells so good."
Several children were attracted by the aroma and peeked out from outside the gate.
Wei Yuyan thought of standing up to take a look, but Wu Chen beat her to it.
"I'll go."
Wu Chen went to the kitchen, found some candy, grabbed a handful, and went to the front door.
When the children saw someone come out, they thought he was going to scold them, so they quickly ran away.
"Don't run, eat candy~".
Wu Chen opened his palm, and the children came back as soon as they saw the candy.
"Haven't you gone home for dinner yet? Hurry up and go home."
Wu Chen gave each of them a few candies and told them to go home.
"Thank you~".
The braver children said thank you and ran away, while the timid ones, too afraid to look at Wu Chen, followed him and ran away.
Wu Chen smiled helplessly and went back to eat.
"Brother Lifu, Brother Licai, tomorrow is market day. This afternoon, bring my brother-in-law Chen Yu over to help. Just give him instructions."
After dinner, the village chief and Aunt Guihua went home, while the others stayed to chat.
"Hello, brothers."
Chen Yu stood up and greeted them.
"So, Yu Yan, do you mean that from now on, it'll be the four of us working on this?"
Sister-in-law Zhang was puzzled.
"Probably not. My sister and brother-in-law will definitely want to go back to their hometown to make money in the future."
Let him learn during this time before the Lunar New Year, and I'll find you new staff next year."
Wei Yuyan spoke the truth, knowing in her heart that her sister and brother-in-law would eventually return to their hometown.
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, indicating that she understood. Of course, she hoped that people would have more stable jobs so that the work wouldn't be so tiring.
But being tired has its advantages; my wages were much higher last month.
In the afternoon, Chen Yu left with the Zhang brothers, Zhang Lifu and Zhang Lifu.
"Do you think your brother-in-law can make steamed buns?"
Wei Yuhan was a little worried that her husband might not be good at making bags and might hold his younger sister back.
"You'll know once you try it. This time it's just to learn. As for selling steamed buns, you can decide for yourselves whether you want to do it or not."
My thought is that my brother-in-law definitely can't handle it all by himself, and you also have to take care of Yueyue.
I'm thinking of finding a new way for you to make money.
Wei Yuyan then thought of the scented soap.
"That's true. He definitely can't manage to run a steamed bun shop all by himself, but he can find someone to help him."
Wei Yuhan actually thinks that making steamed buns is a good business.
"Do you have anyone you can trust? Be diligent and honest. The worst things you can do when it comes to cooking are stealing recipes and betraying others."
Wei Yuyan probably watched too many TV dramas in the past, anyway, she is very worried about this aspect.
"Yes, you're right. If we're really going to do this, we need to choose the right people carefully."
Wei Yuhan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"I'll take you to town tomorrow morning to see how your brother-in-law's steamed buns are doing, and whether they're selling well."
Wei Yuyan wanted to take her sister to buy some fabric to make new clothes, and also to buy some delicious snacks to keep at home.
"Okay, Yueyue loves going to the market, she likes to look around everywhere."
Looking at Yueyue stumbling beside her, Wei Yuhan felt her heart soften even more.
The next day, the children also stayed home on holiday.
"Should we go to town?"
Wei Yuyan would ask them every time.
"Brother, come with us."
Xiao Lei looked at Wu Chen, thinking that his older brother definitely wanted to go.
"Huh? The carriage can't fit so many people, can it?"
Wu Chen certainly wanted to go, but he considered the size of the carriage.
“Brother Lengfeng and I will sit outside, there will definitely be enough room for you.”
Xiao Lei knew that his older brother was happy to go out and didn't want to stay at home.
"Oh well".
Seeing that Wei Yuyan did not object, Wu Chen nodded.
And so, everyone squeezed together to get to town.
"Aunt Wu, where should we go first?"
Leng Feng didn't know what they wanted to do, so he asked first.
"Xiao Lei, tell Brother Leng Feng how to get to the steamed bun shop."
Wei Yuyan didn't know whether her brother-in-law was helping out at the steamed bun shop or the vegetable market.
Let's go check out the steamed bun shop first. If they're too busy, I can help out.
