The two babies have grown quite a bit in the past month.
At birth, neither child was very heavy, but within a month, they had grown plump and healthy, each gaining a lot of weight.
Especially the eldest of the twins, Lu Chuan's pampered daughter, does nothing but eat and sleep all day, and gains weight very quickly.
It must be said that both children are very sensible. They eat their fill and then sleep, and they only whimper when they are hungry or have physiological needs.
After feeding them, they went back to sleep. Even their wet nurse said that the two children were very easy to take care of.
Not only does Lu Chuan dote on his youngest daughter, but Xu Han, Mu'er, Ze'er, the Taoist priest, and Grandpa Zhao also tend to favor girls. There's no way around it; with three rascals in the family, they only have one sweet little girl, so how could they not spoil her?
But we're not the kind of people who blindly spoil girls and don't care about the boys' well-being. We treat both children the same, but we tend to love the girl a little more.
During her postpartum period, Xu Han did nothing but play with the baby and focus on recovering her health, while Lu Chuan took care of everything else.
Today is the one-month celebration for the two children. Xu Han's status is different now than before. The fact that she gave birth to twins is already common knowledge in the county.
Some families who had business dealings with them sent congratulatory gifts during her postpartum period, and even the county magistrate came in person. Other wealthy families from other counties also came to offer their congratulations.
Since it wouldn't look good if the baby didn't have a full moon celebration, Xu Han suggested that they simply hold a banquet for a day when the baby turned one month old, so as to celebrate.
It would be unreasonable to accept someone's gift and then not even host a banquet.
Of course, they are all business partners, and they came specifically to give gifts and congratulations, so it's not fair to refuse them.
The two previous children were born deep in the mountains, and due to the special circumstances, they never had a banquet. Even if they wanted to hold a banquet, no one could come.
Things are different now. Over the past year, my family has undergone tremendous changes, and I have also met many new people.
It seems that anyone with even a modicum of standing will be vying to attend the Lu family's full moon celebration and join in the fun.
The day of the two children's one-month celebration was exceptionally lively with a large number of guests.
Even Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun, who received the news, rushed back ahead of time.
Everyone was on high alert and made thorough preparations for this full moon celebration.
Xu Han had no prior experience in organizing banquets, but fortunately he had capable assistants.
With the cooperation of Li Wen and Ju Xiang, the preparations for this full moon celebration were quite thorough, and every little detail was taken into account.
The two of them prepared everything, from food and drinks to entertainment, and with Xu Han's willingness to spend money, the full moon celebration was a great success.
After the banquet, everyone praised the full moon celebration.
The banquet featured a wide variety of dishes, including not only those commonly found at traditional banquets but also many dishes that the guests had never tasted before. All the dishes were delicious and appealing, and were very popular.
Their homemade sweet potato wine was served to everyone at the banquet, and they encouraged everyone to drink as much as they wanted.
As the meal progressed, many people felt that the monetary gifts they had given were somewhat inadequate, and exclaimed that the host family was far too extravagant.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't care about any of that. Their family wasn't exactly rich, but they had enough to live on. They weren't hosting the banquet to make money; it was simply for fun.
They genuinely wanted to celebrate the one-month birthday of their two children, so they didn't care about the expenses.
Of course, business people are always thinking about business. This grand banquet was not only to celebrate the two children, but also had another meaning.
That is, Xu Han wants to take advantage of the popularity of this banquet to open a restaurant.
That's right, it's the same large shop that was used as a temporary workshop before.
That shop would be perfect for opening a restaurant.
Xu Han had this idea before, but because the area was used as a temporary workshop, and because of the war, there were not many people in the county town, and very few outsiders, it was impossible to open a large restaurant; it would be a sure loss.
But things are different now. Because he sells sweet potato wine and canned fruit, he has attracted a large number of out-of-town merchants to come to the county town to buy sweet potato wine and then take it back to their hometowns to sell.
The county town has now returned to its former bustling state, and even seems to be surpassing its previous vibrancy.
With the future looking very promising, Xu Han's desire to open a restaurant grew stronger and stronger.
Prior to this, Xu Han had Wei Yan assemble her own chef team specifically for the restaurant's opening.
Some of these people were bought from a brokerage firm, while others were former servants in the household.
In the past year, as the business has grown, there have been more and more things to do at home, and we have become increasingly short-handed.
With Lu Chuan's approval, they bought even more people.
We don't have many servants at home, but it's enough for our needs.
At the very least, there will no longer be situations where one person does several jobs, nor will there be several people competing for one position.
The household business was getting bigger and bigger, and more people were needed. Everyone had their own things to do, and the government did not tolerate idlers.
In short, as long as you work hard and have the ability, you will definitely be able to stand out in the Lu family.
This was also because as the family grew, Xu Han directly issued a promotion policy, as well as personnel performance bonuses and regulations.
Everyone can receive wages based on their abilities and the amount of work they do.
Of course, not just anyone can take up the position. If you don't pass the quarterly assessment, you'll be transferred from your original position. If you want to be promoted back, you'll have to perform well and wait for the next quarterly assessment.
It was precisely because of this policy that the people in the Lu family worked exceptionally hard, and there were no instances of bullying others or engaging in thievery, embezzlement, or other illegal activities.
Because if someone does this, others can report it.
Even if it weren't for others, but for their own sake, those people wouldn't dare to do that.
In the Lu family mansion, everyone worked diligently and conscientiously to do their job well, and no one dared to be sloppy.
Of course, it's inevitable that some people will still have some inappropriate thoughts.
Those with ulterior motives were either suppressed or betrayed by Xu Han after committing crimes, without even being given a chance to reform.
Those who committed minor offenses received lighter punishments, being sent directly to the countryside to do farm work, but they had no chance of promotion and could only stay in the countryside to do farm work for the rest of their lives.
