Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were young, so naturally no one would let them drink.
At first, she did not carry Xue Shi out. Instead, she placed him in the rocking bed so that he could sleep. However, when Yu Hongyan came out and sat in front of the table, Xue Shi immediately woke up and cried loudly. Yu Hongyan had no choice but to carry her precious son out.
Xue Shi wasn’t afraid of noise. It was obviously very noisy in the main room. There were so many people, and there were even people urging each other to drink. There was no need to mention those who were laughing loudly. They were all very happy. He only widened his two small eyes and watched.
After the banquet, some people sat for a while before leaving. Liu Guixia, Xue Erfu, and the others quickly gave each of these people a gift and asked them to come back next time.
Xue Daxi and Xue Xiaoxi’s houses were far away, so they had to leave early. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to make it back in time.
Liu Guixia and the others naturally returned gifts to each of them and stuffed some other things.
Xue Sihu had already made an agreement with the two families. In the future, Xue Daxi, her husband, and her kids would help out at the restaurant. It would not be good for the girls to help out on the floor, so they would help out in the kitchen.
As for his aunt and uncle, they didn’t work in the shop, but they let their eldest daughter and second son work in the rice noodle shop. The eldest daughter would help around in the kitchen, and the second son would follow Xue Sihu and do whatever Xue Sihu asked him to do. Not only could he earn money, but he could also gain some knowledge.
The next day, because Yu Hongyan was already out of confinement, she didn’t need Liu Guixia to take care of her. Xue Shi’s diapers and other things could be washed by Yu Hongyan now. After breakfast, Liu Guixia didn’t stay at home. Instead, she followed Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu to the field to dig the sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes could finally be dug out.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came as well.
Shao Youyue even asked Zi Cui and Xia Han to help out the entire morning.
He knew that Jiang Yue wanted to wash the red and white sweet potatoes into powder like the potatoes. Therefore, just like the potatoes, other than leaving a few big boxes in the cellar to be used as seeds and eating at home, the rest were sent to their old house for storage. After a few days, they would hire someone to wash them into powder.
The purple sweet potatoes were saved for their family’s rice noodle shop to make tri-colored steamed buns for breakfast.
The shops in town only used two or three purple sweet potatoes a day. They were all made in fixed quantities for breakfast. Although there were not as many purple sweet potatoes as red and white sweet potatoes, they should be able to last until the new year.
They didn’t finish digging the sweet potatoes in the morning, and so they spent another two hours in the afternoon before he was done.
After digging the sweet potatoes, Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu went to gather firewood. They climbed up the tree and knocked down the dry branches. Liu Guixia picked them up below. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed and picked up the dry branches below.
Then, they tied them up with straw ropes.
Xue Yifu did not come. He was still at the sweet potato field, picking up the sweet potatoes that had not been picked one by one. After picking the sweet potatoes, he would also come to help with the firewood.
There wasn’t much firewood left in the house. That was because they had to supply their rice noodle shop in town, the daily consumption of firewood was pretty high.
Fortunately, Xue Erfu didn’t need to drive the ox cart to deliver the firewood to the town. Xue Sihu had already arranged for his uncle, who worked in the shop, to do this.
Although they would be able to find the slope if they walked a little further in, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry and only focused on helping to pick up the firewood.
“Alright, alright. You guys have been picking for a while. Go to the side and take a rest.” Liu Guixia was afraid that the two children would be tired, so she spoke up and even took the firewood from their hands. She pushed the two children to the side to rest..
