Old Master Huo covered his chest with his hands. He had no choice but to do this for the Huo family.
Miss Huo couldn't believe it. Her grandfather had loved her the most since she was a child. How could he possibly kick her out of the Huo family?
Song Qianhong couldn't accept it even more. He endured this woman's spoiled daughter's temper, tried his best to please her, and even gave up his dignity as a man to become a son-in-law of the Huo family.
"I won't leave, grandpa, don't chase me away." Without the halo of the eldest daughter of the Huo family, who would take her seriously in the future?
Song Qianhong also pleaded: "Grandpa, we will never dare to do it again." He had finally climbed into the Huo family and there was no way he would give up like this.
Mr. Huo waved his hand and said, "Let's go. If I keep you here, my Huo family will be finished."
"Grandpa,..." Miss Huo begged.
"Let's go, you guys have messed with the wrong people this time."
Take care of yourself...
*****
The ditch cleaning in Lijiawan has been completed.
The houses in Ping'anli are also being completed.
Wenwen and the others were tidying up the house. Although it was not a brick house, it was a new house after all, and it made them happy just looking at it.
The road from the yard to the front of the house is made of pebbles cleared out by the villagers when they were cleaning the ditches.
Wenwen asked the villagers to help keep it. Wenwen meant to buy it, but the villagers refused to take the money no matter what.
Every day when everyone gets off work, they bring the cleared pebbles to the place where the house is to be built and pile them aside.
Since there were a lot of pebbles left after paving a small path, the roads outside the yard were paved with pebbles.
The cobblestone path makes the house look more elegant, and it won’t get muddy when walking on rainy days.
Wenwen took the two old men for a walk and asked, "Grandpa, Master, what do you think?"
The two old men nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, very good, this is our own house."
The shed inside the courtyard wall was filled with neatly stacked firewood.
Wenwen pointed to the empty spaces on both sides of the cobblestones and said, "Master, the yard here is much larger than the one at the Youth League Center. I'll leave it to you to grow some herbs in the future."
He Hongchi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's plant some herbs. I've already thought of what to plant. I'll go to the mountain to take a look tomorrow."
Yu Baitian was not happy after hearing this: "Girl, why are you growing herbs? It would be much better to grow vegetables. Growing vegetables will give you more vegetables on the table."
Wenwen immediately turned into a master of keeping things balanced: "Grandpa, don't be so anxious! We grow herbs in the yard, and the yard outside is so big, it's all reserved for growing vegetables."
Yu Baitian then smiled and said, "Girl Wen likes to eat vegetables. Grandpa will plant more in the future."
Finally, the two old people and the child were coaxed into submission.
When you walk into the kitchen, the first thing that catches your eye is the row of cabinets on the wall. There is also a row of cabinets on the floor against the wall, and the top is covered with thick wooden boards.
All the cabinets were polished very smoothly and then coated with a layer of tung oil, making them smooth and shiny.
There are three rooms, each with a large kang (bathbed) and a row of cabinets built on the kang against the wall.
It looks clean and tidy, and very comfortable.
Wenwen also asked the carpenter to make a few chairs so that the two old people could bask in the sun comfortably.
Finally, all you have to do is move the tables, kang tables, clothes, food, etc. from the educated youth site to the new house.
Wenwen asked the two old men to pick a good day to move and kowtow to the master.
On the chosen day, Wenwen asked Wenxiao and the others to move their things, while she, Gu Xingyu and Su Anqiao prepared food.
Su Anqiao also moved into the new house. Wenwen was really attracted by her, but most importantly, she also liked her personality, and they all got along well with each other.
Wenwen invited several respected old men from Lijiawan to come to the housewarming dinner, so some food had to be prepared.
A few days ago, Wen Xiao went up the mountain or down the river with Xiao Huimin and Zhou Yebin every day. He actually managed to catch a few pheasants and fish, and then buy a few pounds of meat.
There are definitely no green vegetables as they have only been planted not long ago.
However, Xiao Jiaolan and Cancan are the leaders among the children. They have been digging wild vegetables with their friends every day these past two days, so there is no shortage of green leafy vegetables.
Today is the day for her to show off her cooking skills. The staple food is dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables and pork, and Chinese cabbage, bacon and cassava vermicelli stew.
She had made and dried the cassava vermicelli half a month ago and was ready to show off her skills today.
Wenwen patted the stove. This was the double-burner stove she had specifically requested, with two iron pots.
In this era, it is difficult to buy an iron pot, let alone two iron pots. It costs a lot of money to buy two iron pots, and most of it depends on connections and favors.
Towards the inside is a larger pot used to boil water for steaming buns.
The iron pan outside is smaller and is used for cooking.
Plus there is a small charcoal stove, which is enough.
Wenwen was busy in the kitchen for the whole afternoon and finally served the dishes on the table.
Braised pork, fish stewed with tofu, pheasant stewed with potatoes, stir-fried three shreds (shredded cabbage stalks, shredded pork and shredded dried tofu), cold wild vegetables, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, fish ball and wild vegetable soup.
The staple food is: dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables and pork, and bacon and cabbage stewed with cassava vermicelli.
Wenwen put a lot of thought into making this table of dishes with such few ingredients.
Wenwen felt that the few dishes at this time were the most delicious delicacies.
A group of young people came over following the smell: "Little sister, it smells so good! I guess the whole village can smell it." Wen Xiao said exaggeratedly.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a home-cooked meal."
"I'm not exaggerating, it looks delicious." Su Anqiao drooled as he looked at the table full of dishes.
Several others echoed.
"Fourth brother, go see if everyone is here. I'm going to change my clothes so I can kowtow to the master and serve him tea later." Wenwen instructed.
Because there was no main hall when houses were built in Lijiawan, we just cleaned up the kitchen, put out high stools, and made do with it.
Fortunately, the kitchen is big enough, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.
When Wenwen came out, the kitchen was full of people, all looking at the kitchen cabinets and the double-burner stove in amazement.
Wenwen walked up to He Hongchi who was already sitting on a stool. Wenwen knelt firmly on the ground and kowtowed several times to He Hongchi. She took the teacup handed to her by Gu Xingyu and raised it above her head.
"Master, please have some tea."
He Hongchi took the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put the cup down and picked up a wooden box from the table.
"From now on, you will be my direct disciple."
"Today, your teacher will teach you a lesson: human life is precious, even worth a thousand gold coins. Saving a region is a greater virtue than this."
"I hope you will never forget your original intention."
Wenwen kowtowed again: "Disciple will bear this in mind and never forget his original aspiration."
He Hongchi handed the box to Wenwen: "This is a gift from your teacher: a medical book and a set of acupuncture needles. I hope you will study medicine more diligently in the future."
What he didn't mention was a rare medical book and a set of golden needles.
