Even in their Changshi Mansion, the diet during this period mainly consisted of steamed corn bread, porridge and pickles.
After all, not every family can be as wealthy as the Dong family.
In the entire Min Dynasty, the Dong family, as the richest family, had a unique status.
The name "Sister Qian" made Qian Chunhua feel a chill in her stomach, and this name instantly made her feel a generation inferior.
At the dinner table, Zhou Dongwei was stunned when she saw the food in front of her.
A bowl of white rice, a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, a plate of braised pork with black bean sauce and a bowl of egg soup, in her eyes, how could this be considered simple food? This was simply delicacies from land and sea.
Zhou Dongwei firmly believes in her own judgment that although the Qian family has no servants, they must have an extraordinary family background.
Otherwise, how could they have meat and vegetables to eat in such difficult times?
Especially the braised pork, which is mouth-watering.
You know, everyone is worried about food now, who would be willing to raise pigs?
The Changshi Mansion hasn’t eaten meat for a month. The last time they ate meat was at the birthday banquet at the Dong Mansion.
Some of the meat in the Qian family was sent by the Dong family, and some was taken out by Qian Chunhua from the space.
Qian Li did not delve into the sources of these items and believed that they were all gifts from the Dong family.
Qian Chunhua was also happy with this, as it saved him a lot of trouble in explaining himself.
Zhou Dongwei was very satisfied with the meal and she made up her mind to marry into the Qian family. It would definitely be a good marriage.
The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the simple farmyard. Zhou Dongwei elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and her leisure after dinner was undoubtedly evident.
Qian Li looked at her satisfied smile and felt very happy.
In Qian Li's eyes, Zhou Dongwei was just a distinguished guest who came to pick up medicine. What she didn't know was that this distinguished guest had already made plans in his mind.
Qian Chunhua had no time to tell her relatives about Liu Changshi's family's thoughts.
"Sister Qian, won't Xingshan come over for lunch at noon?" Zhou Dongwei took Qian Li's hand and asked with a smile, as if she was just chatting casually.
"Oh, Xingshan is helping out at the Dong family and he had lunch there too." Qian Li answered plainly with a loving smile on his face.
Zhou Dongwei's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, and she continued to ask casually: "How old is Xingshan?"
"Eighteen years old, in lunar years." Qian Li answered without any defense.
Zhou Dongwei's heart moved, and the smile on her face became more gentle: "You are not young anymore, Madam Qian, have you arranged to get married?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Qi frowned slightly, revealing a bit of worry: "I am worried. This child is already so old, and he is still talking about marriage."
Qian Chunhua heard it carefully and alarm bells went off in his heart.
She quickly interrupted and took over the topic, saying, "Mom, Xingshan has his own ideas, which is a good thing. Let's not worry so much."
Then, she turned to Zhou Dongwei and said with a smile, "Madam Liu, my brother is a very picky person. He has mentioned several girls, but he is not satisfied with any of them. He insists on finding a girl that he likes."
After hearing that the topic was diverted by Qian Chunhua, Zhou Dongwei felt a little disappointed.
She smiled and said, "It's a good thing for young people to have their own pursuits. As elders, we should not interfere too much."
Although Qian Li was a little slow, he also felt that his daughter had said that on purpose. Xingshan himself was not the kind of person who would be picky. Qian Li knew this in his heart.
She nodded hurriedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
A seemingly ordinary chat, but undercurrents surged inadvertently.
Qian Chunhua became more alert, and even Qian Li was no longer chatting freely like before.
