123 Chapter 123: Housewarming Banquet

In the end, they bought a large bamboo backpack full of groceries. Each of them still carried chickens and ducks in their hands before returning home.

When they returned to the Song family’s house, Madam Zhang and Qin Xiaoyao’s two sisters-in-law had indeed arrived.

Qin Xiaoyao had already completed her delivery to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant and returned. She was talking to the three people at this moment.

Madam Zhang and Qin Xiaoyao’s two sisters-in-law were initially not on good terms with Qin Xiaoyao.

If it weren’t for their husbands back home, they wouldn’t even be willing to come.

However, when they arrived and saw the Song family’s new courtyard dwelling, the three of them changed their thinking.

This courtyard dwelling was so much better than the Qin family’s small courtyard house.

Before this, they didn’t believe what their husbands said about the Song family buying a luxurious courtyard dwelling.

They felt that the men in the Qin family were just trying to make their daughter and sister look good.

Only now did they realize that what their men back home said was true.

The Song family had really made a fortune.

The few women were a little jealous, but more than that, they felt very relieved.

It was a good thing that the Song family was rich. That way, this sister-in-law and step-daughter wouldn’t have to return to the Qin family to ask for money.

Moreover, since everyone would be living in town in the future, there might be a chance for them to help each other out.

As such, Qin Xiaoyao realized that not only her two sisters-in-law but even Madam Zhang was much more polite to her.

Qin Xiaoyao was also happy to repair her relationship with the three of them, and their relationship soon developed to the point where they could talk and laugh.

Seeing that Madam Liu and Wang Xiaomei had returned, Qin Xiaoyao and the others quickly went to welcome them.

“Oh my, Mother Song. Why did you buy so much stuff?” Madam Zhang was the first to speak.

“That’s right. It’s just a family meal today. Why did you buy so much?”

“Quick! Let me take the chickens off your hands!”

The group of women went to the kitchen in a rowdy manner.

In the courtyard, Liu Daniu and the others, who were helping to plow the ground to plant the Chinese Toon trees and the Chinese Toon plant cuttings, smiled when they saw this.

It looked like the housewarming banquet at noon today would be especially sumptuous…

With the addition of the Qin family’s mother and daughters-in-law, as well as Big Girl Li, Wang Xiaomei, and Madam Liu, the kitchen had more than enough helpers.

Qin Xiaoyao was quickly chased out of the kitchen and asked to entertain the guests.

However, there were no guests to entertain, so Qin Xiaoyao became the most idle person.

She ended up like an all-purpose tool, going wherever help was needed and lending her support.

Amidst the women’s noisy chatting and the sound of chopping vegetables and meat from the kitchen, waves of aroma finally drifted out of the kitchen.

The men who were working in the courtyard, including Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu, all felt their strength drain when they smelled the food’s aroma.

One by one, they started to discuss the dishes they might get to eat for lunch.

Liu Daniu and the Wang family’s father and son were the most hungry. They had left early in the morning and did not eat much.

After they arrived at the Song family’s residence, they had been busy with work up till now.

When they heard that there would be chicken, duck, and a lot of meat and vegetables for lunch, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

They also couldn’t stop looking in the direction of the kitchen.

After a while, Qin Dazhuang finished his work and finally came over.

He went to the kitchen and greeted Madam Liu and the rest. Without a word, Qin Dazhuang also joined the ranks of helping to prepare the land for cultivation.

Then, he heard everyone singing his praises.

In particular, Wang Laoshuan, who praised him for raising his daughter so well that Qin Xiaoyao became so capable.

Qin Dazhuang was so happy to hear him that his heart was bursting with joy…

When it was almost noon, the kitchen folks finally finished preparing all the dishes.

While the women were preparing to serve lunch, Qin Xiaoyao and Qin Dazhuang went out to light firecrackers.

With the explosive sound of firecrackers, the Song family’s house-moving ceremony was considered complete.

Qin Xiaoyao greeted all the neighbors who had come out to watch the show. She informed them they had just moved in today and that their family would visit them later.

Back in the courtyard, the father and daughter went to the hall with beaming smiles.

There were two tables set up in the hall. The men sat at one table, and the women sat at the other. It was very lively indeed.

Song Que was obviously not used to such occasions. Under the encouragement of his two brothers-in-law, he drank a cup of wine with the crowd and did not drink anymore.

Qin Dazhuang, on the other hand, took on the heavy responsibility of drinking with his son-in-law.

He kept drinking and kept urging him to drink.

At the other table, the women were much quieter.

Qin Xiaoyao was happy to let her father drink with the rest while she ate by herself.

Today’s meal was the most sumptuous she had ever had since she had transmigrated to this world.

Not only was it sumptuous, but it was also plentiful. How could she not like it?

The rest of the people also ate happily.

Even in the Qin family that made a living by selling meat, such a big spread of food was extremely rare.

...

In the Liu and Wang families, it was practically non-existent.

As Wang Xiaomei ate, she felt as if she had almost swallowed her tongue.

There were many dishes on the table, and almost all of them were meat dishes.

There was also a wide spread of seasonings, and the dishes tasted extremely delicious.

When she was in the Wang family, she didn’t even get to eat this kind of food during the New Year.

Wang Laoshuan and Wang Dashan, who were sitting at the next table, felt the same way.

However, Wang Laoshuan was bent on pleasing Qin Dazhuang and had been drinking with him the whole time. He had not been able to eat much.

On the other hand, Wang Dashan only had a few drinks with the Qin family before he started eating seriously.

Firstly, he was famished after a busy morning, and secondly, it was rare for him to have such a meal, so his food craving kicked in.

Liu Daniu also focused his attention on eating. He felt that it was a wise decision indeed to come to the Song family’s place to help out.

After this meal, even if his family didn’t eat meat for the next half a month, he wouldn’t have any complaints.

...

After the meal, there was not much food left on the table because almost all the guests were big eaters.

Qin Dazhuang was drunk and had to be carried back by Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu.

Wang Laoshuan was also drunk. In the end, he was dragged onto the handcart and pushed back by Wang Dashan.

Big Girl Li also climbed onto the handcart and let her man push her back to Brook Falls Village.

As soon as these people left, the courtyard dwelling became much quieter.

After that, the Qin family’s mother and daughters-in-law helped to take the dishes back to the kitchen. They helped with the dishwashing before leaving the Song family’s house.

Qin Xiaoyao and Madam Liu sent them off at the door. It was not until they were far away that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t easy to entertain so many people this morning.

Back in the courtyard.

Madam Liu returned to the kitchen and taught Wang Xiaomei to refine lard.

Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, went to clean up the courtyard, preparing to clear out the remaining wasteland.

The Song family had officially started their life in town.

In the evening, Qin Xiaoyao had finally finished plowing the wasteland. She watered the planted Chinese Toon trees and then sat down by the stone table to rest.

Song Yun, with Song Ye tagging along, brought Qin Xiaoyao some lard scraps with sugar in it and spent the time chatting with their sister-in-law.

“Mom asked us to bring some lard scraps and candy to give to our neighbors. She asked us to go with you, Sister-in-law!” Song Yun said to Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.

Qin Xiaoyao agreed with a smile.

“Ask Mother to come along.” As she said that, she stood up.

“Mom is going to make dinner,” Song Ye chirped up.

“It’s okay. It’s not too late to make dinner when we come back!” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

She then walked towards the kitchen.

Before long, Madam Liu was convinced to come out of the kitchen.
