Xie Chunjiao couldn't help but sigh secretly. Thinking that today was Lin Changting's big day, she shook her head, stood up, smiled softly, and walked towards Lin Yunchu and the others.
The Lin family's marriage today was so grand and lively that it became the most talked-about thing in Qingxi Village.
After a while, a carriage suddenly arrived outside the Lin family's courtyard. It turned out to be Xue Jingran who sent someone to deliver a wedding gift to the Lin family.
When the people in the Lin family saw that the gifts sent by someone unknown were so valuable, including food, daily necessities and clothes, they looked extraordinary.
Now everyone was even more convinced that the Lin family might have really recognized some extraordinary noble person, and they even sent people to send gifts to Lin Changting's wedding.
Those gifts were both exquisite and numerous, and must have been worth a lot of silver. Moreover, they were personally delivered to the Lin family by a well-dressed servant in a carriage. This was the first time such a thing had happened in the village.
Qingxi Village is located in a remote area. Not to mention the dignitaries in the town, even the villagers would not dare to go to the shops on the streets where there are many dignitaries. If they accidentally bump into them, it would be something they cannot afford.
The Lin family is really formidable. Many people have already started to make up their minds that they must be more polite to the Lin family in the future and never dare to joke with them as recklessly as before.
The Lin family was busy and lively until the evening. The people who came to celebrate dispersed one after another. The Xie family helped to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and then said goodbye to Lin's father and mother.
"Dad and Mom, it's not easy for you to come here. Please stay one more day. I will ask Wenshan to take you back in an ox cart tomorrow."
Mother Lin held Mrs. Xie's hand and felt reluctant to leave. It was a rare opportunity for her to see her family, and she was busy with Lin Changting's marriage and didn't say much. Now they had to go back after staying for only one night. She felt more and more sad when looking at her parents.
"How can I stay that long? There is still a lot of work to do at home. Seeing that you are all doing well, we feel relieved." Old Mrs. Xie felt much more relieved after seeing the situation of the Lin family.
"It will be easier for us to travel now since it's still light."
And with Lin Yunchu's words, they will be able to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms next year to bring income to the family. Now the Xie family is even more motivated.
However, the autumn harvest has just passed, and there is still a lot of work to do in the fields at home. I stayed here last night, so I have to go back tonight no matter what.
Seeing that she couldn't convince the Xie family, Lin's mother had no choice but to go into the house and quickly pack some more things for them to take back.
There was still a lot of meat and vegetables left today, and Lin's mother packed up a lot of them, enough for them to eat for two days when they returned home.
Lin Yunchu also asked them to take some dried vegetables and dried mushrooms that had been dried before and let them take them back to taste.
There was also a big bag of fruits, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks, which was stuffed into Xie Chunjiao's arms. Girls like to eat these, so Lin's mother asked her to take them home and eat them slowly.
"Dad and Mom, you must take good care of yourselves. I will go back to see you after I finish my busy schedule at home."
Mother Lin raised her hand reluctantly and wiped the corners of her eyes. It was almost time to harvest the potatoes in the fields at home. After finishing the work in the fields, she had to go back.
Father Lin quickly harnessed the cart and drove it to the gate of the yard, insisting on sending the Xie family back no matter what.
Old man Xie waved his hands repeatedly, saying that they would just have to work harder. Lin Wenshan seemed to have been busy for so long and must be tired. It would be so troublesome to send them back and forth.
Instead of wasting time on this, he might as well just rest at home.
Old man Xie is still in very good health. He is also happy that Lin Changting is getting married today. Knowing that Lin Yunchu will teach them how to pick mushrooms in the mountains next year, he is full of energy and does not feel tired at all.
Finally, it was Lin Yunchu who pulled Old Lady Xie and Xie Chunjiao onto the ox cart. He smiled and said to Old Man Xie, "Grandfather, Dad wanted you all to try out this newly bought ox cart. Please take a seat and don't let Dad and Mom down."
After saying that, she winked at him mischievously, her eyes full of smiles.
Old Man Xie paused, and Old Lady Xie pinched him from behind, saying unhappily, "Alright, old man, just listen to Yun Chu. Let's hurry up while it's still early. Wenshan will be back soon, and it won't be easy to travel after dark."
After hearing what Old Lady Xie said, Old Man Xie muttered a few words under his breath, but finally got on the ox cart.
Everyone in the Lin family stood in front of the door, watching the ox cart gradually drive away until it was out of sight, then they turned and went into the yard.
Now that there was no one else at the Lin family, Lin's mother collected all the gifts that had been sent.
Families in the village who were on good terms with the Lin family also sent gifts, including eggs, peanuts, and home-grown sweet potatoes. It was a dazzling array of food, and the gifts were small but the sentiment was profound. These were probably the only things their families could afford.
Mother Lin wrote them all down before putting them away. Finally, she saw a pile of gifts sent by Xue Jingran. After taking a closer look, she realized that there were cloths, some dried fruits, tea, sugar, wine... There were quite a lot of them. The most valuable one was a set of gold and silver jewelry.
Lin's mother was shocked and quickly called Lin Yunchu over to ask her what she meant.
Although Lin Yunchu is now cooperating with Yipin Pavilion, it is just a business deal where both parties get what they need, and Lin Yunchu also has corresponding dividends.
The owner of Yipin Pavilion sent her such a valuable gift today, and she didn't know whether she should accept it.
Who is this Xue Jingran? Their Lin family is just an ordinary farming family. How could they have received such a valuable gift?
After listening to what Lin's mother said, Lin Yunchu followed the direction of Lin's mother's finger, looked at the gifts, and nodded in his heart.
These gifts are indeed considered valuable in a place like Qingxi Village, but in the eyes of someone of Xue Jingran's status, they are nothing at all.
But judging from these gifts, Xue Jingran really did mean it.
Those fabrics looked like ordinary materials that people like them could use on a daily basis. They wouldn't look particularly good when made into clothes. If they were really sent some silks and satins, they wouldn't be able to use them.
There are also other things that can be used by the Lin family, except for the pair of jewelry, which is quite good for sister-in-law to use as a treasure.
"Please accept it, mother. These are all gifts from Master Xue. I understand."
Lin Yunchu whispered to Lin's mother that if he had any good things at home, he could send some to Xue Jingran.
Previously, only one portion of loquat paste was brought to Manager Zhou. After Xue Jingran found out about it, he kept talking about it for a long time. Lin Yunchu was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Yunchu didn't know that the loquat paste sold to Jishiditang was eventually sold to Kyoto, where it was sold at a price that was extremely high. It was also talked about and very popular among the ladies and girls of wealthy families.
