During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Shen Qianning felt that Xiao Dongchen was much more mature and steady than before.

At the same time, she also understood that Qin Shi gave her these things just to build a better relationship between the two.

After several contacts, Qin Shi is really a good person.

Be a trustworthy and trustworthy friend.

That's it.

I'll just sell him two more calligraphy and paintings in the future to repay this kindness.

Stack three wooden boxes against the wall.

Then put all the things bought today into categories.

We ate something in the county town and had to eat at Xiao Ji's house later, so the four of us ate some pastries to fill our stomachs.

Shen Qianning told her three children to stay at home while she went to Xiao Ji's house next door to help.

All the women in the village came to help.

It only took the men one morning to help lay the bricks in the yard.

Except that the courtyard wall has not been repaired yet, it does not affect living at all.

There are enough tables in the village for the whole village.

There were a lot of tables set up in the yard, and they were just finished.

The weather has been beautiful these past two days, it has been sunny every day, and the snow on the ground is showing signs of melting.

Shen Qianning helped with the cooking, and also contributed a pack of MSG.

The taste of the food makes everyone want to eat it.

Lady Shi said with a smile on her face: "This is the MSG you sent to the restaurant? I heard Wang Mazi and the others said that this thing is very valuable, isn't it?"

Shen Qianning did not deny it, and the spatula in his hand never stopped.

"MSG is indeed very valuable, but the reason for gathering is to have fun, so don't mention these things."

The women in the village laughed happily and said that they had benefited from it today.

The meat used by Xiao Ji's family today is all pigs slaughtered by their own family.

Therefore, most of them are bacon.

Xiao Feiye counted the time and rushed back.

Immediately help to install tables and stools.

Then he told the men in the village how many people would be invited tomorrow, and they all said that they would go to the next village to borrow tables and stools during the day tomorrow.

Even bowls, chopsticks and plates have to be borrowed.

Shen Qianning thought it was okay to borrow tables and stools.

But if you borrow bowls and chopsticks, it’s not necessary.

The family is not short of money, so why not buy it back?

The children wanted to sit by themselves, so Shen Qianning sat with Mrs. Qiu Shuishi and the others.

She has asked the village women to help tomorrow.

The women in the village were very excited when they learned that there were more than 100 tables.

She patted her chest to reassure Shen Qianning that nothing would go wrong tomorrow.

Shen Qianning ate and drank enough and helped clear the dishes.

Then he talked to Xiao Feiye about buying dishes.

About eighty tables are prepared. If someone in the village holds a banquet in the future, they can use it directly.

This thing is worthless.

People in the village don't hold a banquet with seven or eight dishes. They all like to have a large portion of each dish and use a big bowl.

So, early in the morning, Xiao Feiye rode to the county seat.

In the morning, the pork seller brought the meat.

The drinks were gradually delivered and piled in the corner outside.

All the things I bought yesterday are being delivered one after another.

Shen Qianning's family built several stoves with bricks in the open space next to the new house.

The women began to get busy, cutting meat and stewing soup.

Many women from Qingtian Village also came to help.

More than 100 tables are quite a lot.

Everyone is busy doing something.

The ground is a little muddy but it doesn't matter.

Qingtian Village sent many tables, and men from the village went to the next village to help borrow tables.

One after another, guests came.

Uncle Xiao, Xiao Ji, Qing Lin and Qing Yan helped receive the guests.

It was already afternoon when Xiao Feiye came back.

The carriage carrying the crockery followed closely behind.

The villagers saw it and stepped forward to help.

In the afternoon, Magistrate Meng and Mrs. Meng also came.

Also following the two of them were Wang Mazi and the others.

Wang Mazi took the initiative to find Shen Qianning.

"As the New Year is approaching, the Escort Bureau has less things to do. We just hurriedly delivered the dishes out in the morning. We decided to send the remaining dishes to the restaurant tomorrow and then rest."

So much happened this year.

Wang Mazi couldn't help but sigh with emotion every time he thought about it.

Shen Qianning asked: "How many people from the escort agency are still here?"

Wang Mazi calculated and said, "Only seven or eight. The place where they deliver the goods is quite far away, and they won't be able to come back for a while."

Xiao Feiye came up at this time and was also very enthusiastic towards Wang Mazi.

Mrs. Meng was chatting and laughing with the villagers, while Magistrate Meng was wandering around the village.

I have to say that Niwo Village has changed a lot.

He has been to Niwo Village several times.

But every time he comes, Niwo Village can give him a different surprise.

He walked around and came to the place where Shen Qianning built the house.

After admiring it inside and out, he went to Shen Qianning and said, "Your yard is pretty good, but you can build a few more guest rooms."

Shen Qianning immediately knew what the county magistrate meant.

Xiao Feiye, who was on the same side, looked at each other and smiled at the same time: "Don't worry, if you want to come to our village to play in the future, we will definitely reserve the best room for you."

The table had been set, and Xiao Feiye invited the brothers and the family members he had brought to sit down and eat.

Serve.

Every dish is a big dish.

Stewed bacon and pig's trotters, fried meat, roasted pork and steamed vegetables.

Each portion is generous.

Shen Qianning was busy greeting everyone, and a jar of wine was served on the table.

The men were all sitting in the courtyard of Xiao Ji's house, drinking and talking.

Even Magistrate Meng County was dragged over to drink.

Mrs. Meng was accompanied by women from Qingtian Village.

Shen Qianning greeted everyone with good food and drinks.

The three children were in charge of the children's tables.

While eating, Shen Qianning was carrying a large bamboo basket with small red envelopes wrapped in red paper. She distributed New Year's money to the children next to her.

Six coins per person is an auspicious number.

This makes the children very happy. They may not have so much New Year's money at home.

After one meal, the good reputation of Shen Qianning's family was completely spread.

By the time the last guests were sent away and the tables and chairs were returned, it was already late at night.

This was the first time for Shen Qianning and Xiao Feiye to host such a large banquet.

Both of them were exhausted.

Shen Qianning fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she realized that Xiao Feiye had taken off her shoes.

Xiao Fei was full of energy after a good sleep.

Get up early and cook for the children.

Until New Year's Eve.

Shen Qianning was eating out all the time.

The New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at home.

When I came to this world, I was confused at the beginning, but now I can deal with it calmly.

She felt that she had grown up.

She wanted to prepare New Year's Eve dinner, but Xiao Feiye refused.

The three children and Xiao Feiye were very insistent.

Xiao Dongchen also wanted to do something for Shen Qianning.

Shen Qianning was told to rest and said, "Mom, leave it to me to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

Shen Qianning sat in the house warming herself by the fire.

But suddenly I heard the sound of a carriage outside the door.

She quickly got up, went out and saw that it was Chen Zhongqiu.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Chen Zhongqiu for a long time.
