The news that the Ling family was going to hold a banquet and slaughter a pig today had already spread throughout Huaihe Village.
Before, when most people heard about the Ling family adopting a little girl, they thought that since the Ling family had so many sons, it was normal for them to want to raise a girl. After all, raising her now would only mean one more mouth to feed, and when she grew up, they could just send her away to get married, which was not a difficult thing.
But no one expected that the Ling family would spend so much money on this adopted daughter.
A pig is worth a lot of money. Many families raise pigs just to sell them for the New Year so that they can have a better time at home. But the Ling family actually slaughtered a pig just to have a feast for their adopted daughter.
This courage is really extraordinary.
It’s really worthwhile.
This banquet cost at least a hundred dollars.
The banquet was set up at the entrance of the alley, where tables and chairs had been placed. These were the property of the Huaihe Village Committee, and they were borrowed by everyone who had a banquet.
The banquet had not started yet, but many people had already gathered there, chatting in groups of three or four. Some people were also gathered at the door of the Ling family, waiting to watch the pig being slaughtered.
"What do you think the people in the Ling family are thinking? They're making such a big fuss just for a daughter who isn't their biological daughter."
"Yeah, this is really rare..."
"They're well-off. We can't just kill pigs. We have to think carefully before we kill chickens."
Not to mention daughters, even sons rarely kill pigs for a banquet. At best, they would find a way to buy a few pounds of pork and make a few big pots of stew. But when they scooped the food with chopsticks, all they saw were cabbage leaves. Even if they ate it all with steamed buns, they wouldn't see two pieces of meat.
This time, the Ling family really shocked the entire Huaihe Village.
Their little fifth child was only a few months old. When they had a banquet before, it was the same as his brothers', but the Ling family was not stingy. There were more meat slices in the bowl, and the whole pot of food was covered with oil.
Now this adopted little girl is treated better than their sons.
The people in Huaihe Village now realized that this little girl was probably extremely important to the Ling family.
Whoever is so blind as to offend this little girl...
I’m afraid the people from the Ling family won’t let this go so easily.
Crack, crack, crack.
Crack, crack, crack.
Regardless of anything else, thinking that everyone could have a good meal at noon, the sound of Chu Dagen sharpening his knife made everyone particularly excited.
Chu Dagen is very skilled at slaughtering pigs. Old man Chu had this skill when he was young, and Chu Dagen is even better than his father.
It didn't take long before the pigs weighing over a hundred pounds were divided.
The other members of the Chu family also came with Old Man Chu. The sons of the Chu family were all tall and strong. The Chu family had a large population. Now only Chu Sigen was not married. When he got married, the Chu family would have one more member.
Every time we hold a banquet, Chu Yuefang's family can basically arrange everything as soon as they come.
Each of the Chu family's wives brought a gift for Xiao Linglong.
The cotton pads, mattresses, small clothes and shoes used by the children were all made by Chu Yuefang's sisters-in-law. The stitches on each one were extremely fine, and it was obvious that they were made with great care.
They all went into the house to take a good look at Xiao Linglong.
Such a cute little baby, everyone loves it from the bottom of their heart.
Especially Yuan Qin, I really don’t want to let go once I hold her.
She still has no children, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, as long as God is willing to give her one, she will be really satisfied.
Now that she sees how cute little Linglong is, she can't help but wonder if she should adopt a baby too.
But Yuan Qin felt that she was not too old and it might not be impossible for her to get pregnant in the future. It also seemed a bit early to adopt a child now.
I feel really conflicted.
Seeing Yuan Qin holding her little girl with a look of regret and sigh in her eyes, Chu Yuefang comforted her: "Qin, don't be so anxious. This child's matter cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be."
Chu Yuefang, the elder sister-in-law, gets along very well with her younger sisters-in-law, so there is nothing that cannot be said.
She also comforted her a lot about the child.
Yuan Qin couldn't help but sigh: "If this continues, Da Gen and I might really have to have one..."
Chu Yuefang said, "Don't be too anxious. Just hug my little girl." Then she lowered her voice and said, "Old Lady Wu said before that my little girl is a lucky girl. If you hug her more, you might even have your own child."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qin's eyes lit up.
"real?"
Chu Yuefang nodded: "Well, so don't worry."
"That's great. I'll hug little Linglong more then~" Yuan Qin held little Linglong and rocked her gently. "Little darling, I hope you can bless your aunt to give birth to a baby. Your aunt will definitely buy you lots of delicious food~"
The sisters-in-law all laughed.
They also hope that Yuan Qin can get pregnant as soon as possible so that she doesn't have to sigh so often.
After looking after the children, they prepared to go out to do some work. Chu Yuefang asked Ling Mu and others to take good care of her three-year-old nephew Chu Zhou, and asked her third brother's wife Lu Kelan to rest in the house.
When Ling's son-in-law hosted the banquet, Lu Kelan was not pregnant yet. Now she is three or four months pregnant, and a slight bulge can be seen in her belly.
Seeing her elder sister-in-law's cautious look, Lu Kelan hurriedly said, "Sister, don't worry about me. I've only been here for a few months, so there's nothing to do. If there's any work you need me to do at home, just tell me. I'll definitely do it well."
"Come on, come on. What kind of work can I give you? There are so many people here. You'd better take a rest!" Chu Yuefang said helplessly.
My sister-in-law is pregnant now, so there is no reason for her to be busy too.
Chu Yuefang knew that all her brothers' wives were good, but the more so, the more she couldn't help but care about them.
"But I really..." Lu Kelan really felt that she was fine. They had been working in the fields since they were young. How could they be unable to do anything just because they were pregnant?
Yuan Qin interrupted her and said, "Since my elder sister has said so, you should just rest here. We will take care of the work outside!"
"Yes, yes, just take a rest, we don't need you!" Second sister-in-law Fang Ling also said.
Chu Yuefang pretended to put on a stern face:
"If you don't take a good rest, I'll go call Sangen over!"
"Sister, sister, no, no, I won't go out. I'll just rest here. Isn't it okay to rest?" Lu Kelan said quickly with a red face.
Chu Yuefang then smiled and nodded:
"Okay, that's right. There are so many of us here. You don't need to keep busy with your belly. Just stay in the house with the children. We can't take care of them here right now."
When Lu Kelan heard her words, she felt that it was right to look after the children, so she nodded and stayed in the main room obediently. At this moment, a commotion was heard at the entrance of the alley.
It turned out that it was Old Man Jin who came with his son Long Sheng.
