Chapter 914: The Specialness of a Family Feast!
esist coveting it and causing trouble.Tao Hongying quietly packed her husband's belongings, a set of simple clothes and shoes, then some medicine for injuries and pills for diarrhea and chills.There w...Jia Yi could see that Sun Daifu was willing, but he was a little self-conscious and afraid of causing trouble.
I believe that with the passage of time and growing familiarity, these concerns will disappear. 。He smiled and bowed to General Tang and Old Master Sun, then strode out. 。 The next morning, the Li family courtyard was bustling with activity. 。Tao Hongying Zhao Yuru, Liu's wife and Huiniang a few people, brought their maidservants in the kitchen busy, Mrs. Wen was responsible for watching the children 。Lao Li accompanied the guests, while Wenjuan took care of the tea and snacks. 。 Mrs. Tang, the eldest of the Tang family, arrived early with her daughter-in-law and even brought along her most beloved granddaughter. She did this intentionally to show the Li family. 。Tang's granddaughter was named Yuwen, she was fourteen years old. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and because she liked to read, there was a scholarly air about her. She was gentle and quiet, very likeable. 。Li Laotai hadn't expected that Tang Lao Fu-ren truly meant what she said about kinship. It seemed even Tang Da Fu-ren's face didn't look bad, and there wasn't the same resistance as when her mother-in-law had mentioned it before. 。Lao Tai Li guessed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have discussed this privately, so she asked Chang Ma Ma to take a set of white jade jewelry as a gift for the meeting. 。White jade is not particularly valuable, but it gives people a feeling of warmth and tranquility. 。And this piece of jewelry is exquisitely crafted, quite rare. 。Yuwen liked it very much, and even Mrs. Tang Lao and Mrs. Tang Da were surprised. 。Then Li Lao laughed, "My granddaughter loves these things, so the Hou Mansion always keeps a jeweler on standby." 。She occasionally sketched designs and would send them to craftsmen to have them made. 。This time when I went out, she insisted on giving me two sets. Unexpectedly, they came in handy. 。"It's not a valuable thing, Yuwen likes to wear it for fun." 。You are young, you should dress up beautifully. When we get to our age, people would say we are old hags if we put on a single hairpin! Everyone burst into laughter. 。 Mrs. Tang casually praised: "The county princess is indeed clever. Today, it seems our Yuwén has gained the upper hand." 。 "Yu Wen is clumsy, she can only count needlework when counting. In a few days, let her embroider some small things for the old lady and the county princess as gifts." 。"Okay, then I won't be polite. " 。"That's quite a distance away, otherwise Yuwen would definitely get along well with our Jia Yin!" Li Lao Tai said, and her gaze became wistful as she thought of her granddaughter. 。Wenjuan saw this and felt a little anxious. Although her grandmother rarely spoke about it, she never stopped thinking about home and her younger sister in her heart. 。They tried their best to coax the old lady, and only then were they able to persist until now. 。As she was thinking this, she was about to step forward and speak when, just at that moment, the Yue family arrived. 。Aunt Liu was very pleased with Yue Linlang as her future daughter-in-law, and she went to the Yue family's place many times during this period. 。The Yue family were merchants. When it came to seeking profit and avoiding harm, no one was better at it than them. 。The Yue family chose Liu Yang as their son-in-law because they valued him highly, and also because Liu Yang and Jia Yi were like brothers, supporting each other. 。It is said that the Liu family in Suijin Beach also get along very well with the Li family. 。After that, Yue Linglang became a daughter-in-law of the Liu family and half a daughter-in-law of the Li family. 。This time, when the Li family held a banquet to have Coral recognize her godfather, the Yue family proactively arranged to come and offer congratulations. 。As soon as Yue Wai, Yue's wife, and their daughter entered the room, they saw that the Tang family was also present. They were even more delighted. 。After the greetings, Yue Laowai and Li Zhensheng went to the study for tea, leaving behind Yue's wife. She was a skilled dancer and talkative woman, and in no time, she was chatting merrily with Mrs. Li Lao and Mrs. Tang Lao and others. 。Lin Lang went to the kitchen to take a look at her future mother-in-law and wanted to help, but she was chased away to go play with Coral and Wen Yu. 。Mrs. Yue wasn't familiar with the Li family's customs, so she said to Old Madam Li: "Madam, we have several chefs who are exceptionally skilled at preparing seafood." 。"If the old lady doesn't mind, I'll have someone bring over two tomorrow to help out in the kitchen. It would also give our family a change of taste, wouldn't it" Li Lao Tai wasn't stupid either; she immediately guessed her concern. She was afraid that the Liu family would learn from the Li family and make their daughters-in-law cook. 。Then, Old Mrs. Li smiled and explained a few more things. 。Our family has a chef, and he's very skilled. 。Today, the host asked his daughter-in-law to cook because it was a family dinner. 。"Those who eat are family members and elders. The younger generation preparing the meals is a sign of respect for the elders." 。Of course, this doesn't happen often, only three or five times a year, so there's no need to worry about the children being bothered by it. 。"
Yue Fu ren listened and her face turned red. She quickly replied, “Oh my, Grandmother is truly wise " 。A family should be like this: the elderly are loving and the children are filial, which is the long-term way to prosperity for a family. 。" Mrs. Tang couldn't help but nod in agreement and chimed in playfully, "Sister-in-law, you are so fortunate! I'm truly envious." 。My foolish daughter-in-law, I wouldn't even expect her to cook a proper meal. If she doesn't burn down the kitchen, I'd be surprised and would have to chant Amitabha Buddha. 。Everyone started laughing, which made Madam Tang frown and say, "Mother, you're hurting my feelings like this." 。Though the daughter-in-law may not know how to cook, most of the clothes you are wearing were sewn by her stitch by stitch. 。"Oh dear, oh dear, I've let slip! I'm afraid I'll be getting a tongue-lashing at home!" Old Madam Tang feigned alarm, causing everyone to laugh even louder. 。Li Lao Tai patted her hand and replied, “My fourth daughter-in-law is good at cooking, but she’s no good at needlework.” 。Looking at it this way, no one is perfect, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. 。Speaking of which, when I was young, I couldn't do anything right and had to learn everything from scratch. 。"Me too, I practiced swordplay every day, my mother was afraid I wouldn't get married!" Old Madam Tang also spoke excitedly about her youth. 。For a moment, the two elderly women began reminiscing about the past again. 。After laughing together for a while, General Tang Lao and Doctor Sun finally arrived. 。Li Zhensheng took Jiayi and Maog'er to greet them personally, and led them in. 。Everyone greeted each other politely because General Tang and Old Master Sun were both elderly and did not need to be discreet. 。Yuwen and Linlang both followed Coral into the hall. 。 Grandpa Sun sat in a chair, and under everyone's gaze, Coral knelt down with red eyes, kowtowed to Grandpa Sun, and called out, "Father-in-law" 。"Grandfather Sun endured with great effort and held back his tears. After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Coral, when you were injured and taken to the field hospital, I treated your wounds and took care of you for a while. It was all just doing what was right." 。You really needn't repay me so lavishly. As a lonely old man, I can't possibly bear such generosity. 。"
"No, godfather" 。"Coral shook her head vehemently, crawling forward two steps, and insisted, “Uncle, I had made up my mind to die back then. It was you who persuaded me time and time again, deliberately giving me jobs to keep me busy, all in an effort to save me." 。"You even saved your own rations to have Rice Auntie cook porridge for me" 。The tonic I drank afterwards was truly a blessing you bestowed upon me. 。“I know, and I will keep it in mind” 。"I have no parents or relatives, I am also alone. In the future, you will be my reborn parents. I am willing to support you until the end of your life. Please give me this opportunity." 。"Seeing this, Jiayi also knelt beside Shanhu and said, “Father, please give me and Shanhu a chance.” 。"Doctor Sun, there’s still something you want to say" everyone cried out anxiously. 。My babies, my child's school has a case of high fever, so I had to rush home and pick him up. It was such a mess and took the whole afternoon. Today, I can only update twice. 。HUGS, everyone, please stay safe and take care!also a box of pearls, a set of four treasures of the study, and two boxes of snacks. 。Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all covered. 。Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but laugh, "Wenjuan is trul...
