Chapter 282 Destined to Be Neighbors
The people of Tianyuan Village followed the newlyweds and cheered, and Yanzhi Xinghua and others trotted and threw flower petals on the couple.
After everyone entered Erli's house, Wang Laoliu ordered the boys around to light firecrackers outside the house.
The sound of firecrackers at the foot of the mountain spread to every corner nearby, and the people of Qingshan Village were discussing under the big tree again.
"Lao Jin, you live among them, why weren't you invited to the feast?"
Butcher Jin was squatting on a stone eating a steamed bun.
"They are from Tianyuan Village, I'm from Qingshan Village, why the hell am I going there! Why didn't you invite me when your family has a happy event? Our great grandfather is still from the same generation."
Villager A who was causing trouble fled away in embarrassment, saying that he was his great-grandfather, and that they had been together for so many generations, so the butcher Jin was really shameless.
"Lao Jin, every household has such a big house, can they live in it? Have you ever been inside? Tell us about it, we are not trying to cause trouble for them, we are just curious."
"Yes, Lao Jin, you still don't know how to do this for us. When the village chief made things difficult for them, I didn't say a word."
A dozen villagers gathered around Jin the butcher to gossip, trying to find out something.
"No, I haven't been in there. I'm not familiar with them. Why would I go in? I'll just make myself uncomfortable. I won't say anything more. My wife asked me to go back for dinner."
Butcher Jin pushed everyone away and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Tsk, he must have benefited from it. Those people at the foot of the mountain are all wealthy. I don't believe he didn't take advantage of them."
"By the way, Shuanzi, aren't there a family of four living in your house? I heard they came from the foot of the mountain. So, did you find out anything?"
Shuanzi smiled innocently, "They say they live in our house, but they actually live in the small house that my grandparents used to live in. They eat and live separately from us, so I don't have the nerve to ask. I won't say any more. I'm going home to eat too."
Shuanzi waved goodbye and left.
The remaining people were rejected one after another and could only give up in disappointment.
When Butcher Jin returned home, he saw his wife, mother and two sons gathered around a pot of golden chicken.
"Mom, Ah Chun, where did this come from?"
"The wedding organizer gave it to us. Haha, they said we have a big family, so they gave us two chickens. Son, try them. They are delicious."
"Dad, come quickly. We're waiting for you. Sister Yanzhi said it won't taste good if it's cold."
Butcher Jin was stunned for a moment, then he sat down in his seat and smiled at his family's happy faces.
Everyone in Detianyuan Village has already gathered here. The houses of Dali and Erli are next to each other, with a small door in the middle. Of course, it is open on such a happy day as today.
Dali brought his bride back earlier than Erli. Now he is diligently surrounding his father-in-law's family and trying to win their favor, acting like a good son-in-law.
Jin Taozi now likes Dali more and more.
"Da Li, let's let Da Niu sleep with us today. I'll let Hua Hua take care of her. I'll bring her to you tomorrow."
"Okay, mom, I'm sorry to bother you."
Dali agreed with a smile. He was very willing that his daughter could have a good relationship with her stepmother's family. This would benefit both parties. Fortunately, the eldest girl was not averse to Lanlan's family, and everyone was happy.
Thinking of this, Dali got up again to pour water for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Su He here also found a seat at Erli's house with everyone. As it was still early, the kitchen prepared desserts first. Today's desserts were sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings, tea eggs, and brown sugar steamed cakes.
The chefs are a team led by Jin. Because Zhou is pregnant, she can only watch today.
"Xiangxiang, Pingniang, Cuiniang, take them out so they can fill their stomachs. Don't forget to take them to the two brides first."
"Yuzhen, let's start steaming the buns. Yanzhi, check if there are enough dishes. We need to add another table."
After the dessert was served, everyone hurried to prepare lunch. This was Tianyuan Village’s first wedding event since moving to Guangyuan, and the menu was revised again and again, until 12 dishes were finally finalized.
Braised pork, steamed sea bass, minced meat vermicelli, deep-fried young rooster, braised pork head, stir-fried green vegetables, celery and dried shrimp. Scrambled eggs with loofah, deep-fried meatballs, stir-fried meat with peppers, braised spring bamboo shoots, and finally a light soup with yam, red dates and pork ribs.
When you see the fried chicken, you know that this menu was directed by Su He. Only she would be willing to use so much oil to fry something.
This time, Jin ordered 20 chickens at once. After the banquet was over, the remaining ones were allowed to be taken away by the guests.
The original candidate for frying the little rooster was Su He, but when Su Yumin and others came, she temporarily gave the task to Yan Zhi. She was watching the frying of the chicken last time, so she should not feel any pressure to take over this time.
Yanzhi looked at the dozen or so kids staring at her and felt very stressed.
"Miao Miao, why don't you guys go play for a while? I still have at least fifteen minutes to go, and the oil isn't even hot yet. I promise to call you when it's ready, okay?"
Miaomiao sipped her saliva, "It's okay, cousin, we can wait. We haven't talked for a long time, so it's a good time to chat."
Yanzhi was still unwilling to give up and tried to persuade them, "Don't you want to go see the bride? She is very beautiful."
Unexpectedly, Miaomiao looked at Yanzhi helplessly, "Cousin, we are not children anymore, the bride cannot attract us. In this world, the only thing that cannot be wasted is delicious food."
Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, "Not disappointing."
Just as Miaomiao and her people were glaring at Yanzhi, Su He was receiving Su Yumin and his gang in her kitchen.
"Uncle Yumin, Aunt Yang, Brother Yuwen, Yuanting, why are there only a few of you? Didn't I tell you that anyone who wants to come can come? Is the village chief going to stay in Qinglong Village?"
Su Yumin was a little surprised. "You wrote to us? I hadn't received it when I left."
Su He poured brown sugar water for a few people, then sat down and asked them.
"You didn't come here because of my letter. So what happened?"
Su Yumin sighed, with some sadness in his eyes, "Hehua, our sweet potatoes were stolen. Two households even had all their property stolen."
"What? Have you reported it to the police?"
"No need to report to the police, the thief is one of us."
Su Yumin smiled bitterly, "When you gave us sweet potatoes, we planted them secretly according to your instructions. Because there were not many, only the three of us knew about it. But not long after we planted them, the county magistrate came and took away half of the sweet potatoes. That was nothing, but the matter of the sweet potatoes could not be concealed. People in the village said that we swallowed the things you gave us. My father also told everyone that this was your intention, but they didn't listen. Later, they joined forces to trick us out and dug up all the sweet potato seedlings."
Su He frowned, not expecting that the root of the problem was with her.
"My father was too sad. Only a hundred people in the village supported us. It just so happened that you wrote in your previous letter how to go to Guangyuan to find you, so Yu Wen said he would come to discuss it with you."
"Is the village chief all right? We have already planted the sweet potatoes and will share them with you after the summer harvest. Uncle Yumin, don't worry about it."
Su He didn't know what to say and could only comfort her dryly.
"My dad is fine, he's just sad."
Su Yuwen looked at the entire kitchen and said to Su He with a smile.
"Hehua, this kitchen can accommodate fifty or sixty people."
Su He smiled, "Yes, we are from Tianyuan Village who settled here, and we usually hold meetings here. Brother Yu Wen, you all go to the banquet later, and then sleep at my house. I have an empty room here."
"Okay, Lotus, you mean to write to us and ask us to come here? Is there something wrong?"
Su Yuwen felt that the content in Su He's letter might be the same as their family's decision.
"Yes, we have established a firm foothold here. I, Wang Bin, Wang Zhi and Wang Liang are all working in the government office. It will be very convenient for us to do things in the future. In addition, I plan to open a tea stall on the official road, and I need manpower. We don't have enough manpower in Guangyuan. So I wrote to ask you if you are willing to come. Old Uncle Wu and his family also hope that the brothers can reunite."
Su Yuwen and the others looked at each other, shock and joy in their eyes.
"Lotus, we have this idea. Ever since the sweet potatoes were stolen, the atmosphere in our Tianyuan Village has not been very good. Everyone is implicitly rejecting us former village heads. If you still have space here, we will move in with our whole family."
Su He smiled and said, "Of course there is space. Even if 400 people come, I can still accommodate them here. Of course, I don't welcome those little people. Brother Yu Wen, you can go and choose a place directly. We have bought all the land around the foot of the mountain. Once you have chosen one, just go and ask Uncle Jingui to buy it."
Su Yuwen was moved and expressed his opinion on the spot.
"Lotus, we are so kind to you. If you need us in the future, just let us know."
Su He laughed, "Brother Yu Wen, this is what you said. When you finish building the house, I will arrange things for you."
"Lotus, did you guess we were coming?"
Su He smiled brightly.
"Everything is fate. We may be destined to be neighbors."
