With all my family members here, I don't think we'll need to ask anyone else for help from the village. We've also brought our tables and chairs here, and if we're short, we can borrow some from the villagers. I'll tell them soon that we'll be moving out the day after tomorrow evening."
"Okay, since you've invited me, let's treat you decently. We can't have a shortage of food when the time comes." Zhao Dashu could understand. If it were him in the past, he would have gone even if he had to go for a whole day, let alone half a day.
"Well, I've heard that people hold buffets all day long. After one table finishes eating, the next table is so tired from swishing their spatulas. Let's hire a few more chefs so they can take turns swishing and have a break."
Song smacked her lips. "It's been a non-stop day, my girl. I have no idea how much I have to prepare."
"First, we need to kill 15 pigs, at least 30,000 chickens, and 20,000 ducks. Tomorrow, we'll have someone go to the county town to buy eggs. We'll also buy as many as we can from the villagers. We'll also buy vegetables from the village. If they're not enough, we'll go to the next village. We can't be short of rice and noodles. These people are big eaters."
"Wow, I got quite a lot of stuff. I'll go to the county town to post it tomorrow."
"㵕."
After arriving at the Mi family, Zhao Dashu didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately went to find the clan leader, who was very supportive of his plan to hold a banquet. It wasn't just Zhao Dashu who was proud; the other members of the Zhao clan were equally proud.
"Big Tree, if you need our help, just tell us. We have plenty of people in the tribe."
"No need, Patriarch. I have many servants at home, and I think we will have enough manpower."
"Okay, as long as you have the rules."
After leaving, he immediately went to find the village chief and asked him to arrange to borrow a table and spread the news. He couldn't prepare so many tables and still no one would come.
"Old man, do you feel that the big tree is very alienated from us?"
Patriarch Zhao knew his nephew's attitude towards him. "The last time he hurt my uncle was when my younger brother passed away."
"He holds a grudge against me."
"What do you think? It was me who supported my third brother in kicking him out of the house. Everyone knows I looked down on him back then."
"But we haven't been too harsh on him these past two years, have we?"
"You think he's stupid, but he knows full well that we treat him well only because of the money and power in his pocket. Without these, no one would care about him."
"A few families at the end of the village will pay attention to him."
"So those families became wealthy by following him, while the rest of us are just barely surviving starvation. But so what? Even if it's just for show, he still has to respect me. I'm still the Zhao clan leader and his uncle."
"But he's not open-hearted to us, so it's hard to get him to help our children. Several families at the end of the village have made enough money, and he's made clear arrangements for their children."
Uncle Zhao looked regretful. "If I had the chance again, I would still make the same choice. Who could have imagined that Zhao Dashu would turn things around? Who could have imagined that Zhao Dawen was such a loser?"
The old woman was melancholy, thinking that one wrong step would lead to another. She and the old man often couldn't sleep over the years because of regret. The third son was also a scoundrel with a very stubborn temper. No matter how they tried to curry favor with him, he would not accept the offer. He was indifferent and treated them as ordinary relatives during festivals.
Yes, they are just ordinary relatives, and the holiday gifts given to them are the same as those given to minor relatives.
The old man got angry several times because of this, he is my uncle after all!
The village chief was very quick in his work, and the villagers were even more hasty. On that day, those who needed to visit their mother's family went to their mother's family, and those who needed to visit their uncle's family went to their uncle's family...
"Xiao Lei!"
Xiao Lei thought that he would not have many opportunities to go out hunting after returning to the provincial capital, so he wanted to go hunting in the mountains, catch some small prey for his family, and find some wild game.
Xiaoyu and Lihua both love this.
“Chief!”
The patriarch didn't expect it to be so good. He saw people as soon as he went out. It seemed that God was helping him.
"Where are you going? Let's talk."
"Sorry, Chief, I'm a little busy right now. If there's no urgency, we can talk next time."
It’s getting late. If we go any later, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go today.
