adam, the husband of this young sister-in-law is a guard of the Marquis. He usually gets along well with my second brother and the others."This little sister-in-law's personality isn't great, she does...Just then, Jia Yin took over the little nephew and said to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, let's go home first. I'm afraid there will be a big pot of rice in the village tonight!"

Wan'er was amused and surprised, replying, "I still wanted to talk to Grandma and Fourth Aunt, but it’s too crowded. Just now, they opened the granary and released a hundred jin of white rice. The village is definitely going to be lively."

Jia'an talked with the village head and old Mr. Zhao for a few words, then he also went forward to greet his nephew, keeping him company and chatting with his sister-in-law and younger sister. He asked them several questions about their brothers as well.

From the bridgehead to the new village, it's not too far, but not exactly close either. It's about two li in distance.

But everyone talked and laughed, when they got to the front of Li's house, they all felt a little unsatisfied, not really happy.

In the end, it was still the village head who started driving people away. He brandished his smoking pot and shouted, "Let the old lady and the fourth mistress rest first, let's get busy quickly. We should slaughter pigs and chickens. Once the food is ready, let's have a good celebration."

Everyone responded cheerfully and immediately got to work.

Although the village has seen an influx of new residents in the past two years, those who came from over mountains and valleys to fight for a living together account for only half.

But some old traditions remain unchanged, such as the must-have communal rice pot feast during this joyous occasion.

The old fellas gathered together, drinking and bragging, reminiscing about their past exploits, each claiming to be invincible.

Women and children sat together, showing off their silver bracelets and the new baby grandson.

They weren't trying to make people envious, they were truly grateful.

Gratitude to those who persevered and fled for thousands of miles, gratitude to the Li family for bringing them to open up this new home, Suijin Beach.

Whenever the big stove was lit, the squeals of the fat pig and the scent that wafted far and wide marked the happiest times in the village.

When someone in a family has a petty argument or disagreement, they just need to have a drink together and say a few kind words, and it's all forgotten.

The Li family has always been the backbone and leader of everyone.

Today is a day of homecoming, of course we have to make it lively and exciting, thoroughly joyful!

Lao Tai Li and Tao Hongying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have always been the most beloved and supported by the women and children in the village.

It's not that the villagers didn't like Wan'er or Wenjuan, or even Zhao Yuru.

Zhao Yuru is not a good gossip partner because she is really quiet and has a gentle personality.

Wan'er and Wenjuan were even closer like best friends. They had grown up together, studying and writing, and there was always a slight distance between them and the other villagers. People respected them but didn't feel close to them.

Unlike Tao Hongying, who was forthright and spoke plainly, the women in the village would dare to follow her, clapping their thighs and laughing heartily. When it came to gossip, she knew everything and told it all.

But when it came to Shuang'er and Wenjuan, he had to carefully phrase his words before speaking.

After entering her own backyard, the villagers stayed at the front. Only then did Old Li let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "The villagers are truly too enthusiastic. It's still lively at home."

Then Wan'er had the chance to step forward and curtsey, replying, "Almost every day I heard villagers say how much they missed Grandma. Now that you're back, everyone is overjoyed."

Old Mrs. Li held her granddaughter-in-law's hand, looking at her over and over again. Then she patted her hand and said, "Wan'er, these past few days must have been tiring for you. With us away from home, you had to take care of the Earl's Mansion and the village, look after your younger sister, and serve the child. It's too hard on you."

"Now that I and your aunt are back, you should rest well too. Wait for grandma to recover for a few days, then I'll take you to the jewelry store to buy a big gold bangle, a solid one!"

Everyone burst into laughter, unable to help but look at Jiayin.

When it comes to solid gold bangles, they are Jia Yin's absolute favorite.

Over the years, I've really spoiled the old lady. When it comes to rewarding my daughter-in-law, the first thing that comes to mind is a solid gold bracelet.

Wan'er also smiled, her heart feeling warm.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are always fraught with tension, like sworn enemies who would tear each other apart.

But at the Li family, she was just doing her duty as a daughter-in-law. However, her grandmother felt sorry for her hard work and offered to reward her.

What a happiness!

To have such a family, I'm afraid even the daughters-in-law of the world would be willing to work themselves to death.

"Grandma, these are all things I should be doing. I was even thinking, when you and Auntie Four come back, you could take a look and see where I've gone wrong, and then give me some good advice."

"But don't rush it. Take good care of your health first. In a few days, if you truly feel I deserve to be rewarded, I certainly won't refuse. I'll definitely choose the heaviest gold bangle!"

Lao Li was amused and laughed out loud. She took the ball, patted it gently, and replied, "Just looking at how well-behaved Yuan Yuan is, I should buy you another pair!"

Jia Yin noticed that her grandmother looked rather tired, so she hurriedly went to find some clothes and opened the hot spring house.

After waiting for a while, Liu Mama and the others finally had something to do.

They urged Chang Mamá and Xia Qing and the others to rest, then took over taking care of their master.

Soon, Old Mrs. Li bathed and changed into clean, cool clothes, then lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

As for Tao Hongying, she couldn't just sit still. After changing into clean clothes, she went to the front with Wan'er.

Jia Yin sat by the kang, tending to her grandmother, fanning her up and down, just like when she was little, her grandmother took care of her.

Shuiling and Shuoyun and the others looked, and also quietly retreated...

The weather was unbearably hot. People in Xin Du, both inside and outside its walls, regardless of whether they were busy making a living or rich and idle, all changed their habits if conditions allowed.

Instead of going home at sunset, he walked out of the house.

Those with no silver in their pockets would squat under the shade of street trees, chatting idly with their neighbors.

If you have money in your pocket, gather three or five friends and have a good meal together.

And the hottest food in town recently is Xiankelai's cold noodles.

Actually, cold noodles don't have much technical content. Compared to many dishes, they are simple.

Over these past few days, many restaurants and tea houses in the city have also followed suit and started selling cold noodles.

But that's not acceptable. Xian Ke Lai is a monopoly, taking up 80% of the customer base and revenue.

It's still rice noodles with sweet and sour broth, a few slices of braised meat, and a handful of fresh toppings, but the dishes from Xian Kelei just taste better.

The cold noodles are chewier, the braised meat is more fragrant, and the pickled cabbage is more appetizing.

And the sweet and sour broth was also icy cold, each sip making every organ in your body cry out in delight at the coolness.

This moment, before the sun even sets, the Cyclamen Flower Field is already overflowing with people, and seats are hard to come by.

Liu Ziheng has been spending most of his time recently in Xindu. His colleagues inevitably have to shoulder more tasks. After squatting in the fields for a long time, they were all tanned black like mud loaches.

Today, it was great that all my colleagues came back. Liu Zhiheng quickly organized a big meal to celebrate and show his gratitude.

Upon entering, everyone was surprised by the bustling scene before them.

Especially several colleagues, their eyes were wide open like copper bells.

They've only been away from Xin Du for two months, is there such a big change

Every household has stopped cooking dinner and gathered at Xianke

Liu Zhiheng was filled with pride as he watched.

He then laughed and said, "Recently, a new dish has been introduced here called cold noodles. It's incredibly popular. I especially brought you all here to try it today. You'll surely love it!"

After saying this, he called the boy over.

The young fellows were busy and their heads were spinning. When they saw that it was a familiar face, they quickly smiled and greeted him before leading them to the reception room in the back garden.

Because all the tables in the main hall and the private rooms upstairs were already full.

Liu Zhiheng ordered the dishes, but seeing Jiahuan not coming over, he asked a question.

Two updates today ~~hat they worry most about is the emperor's suspicion and fear.For so many years, the Lu family has been diligently and faithfully guarding the border. They even proactively sent their only son to Xind...
