Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 19 Housewarming Banquet

Nowadays, it is neither busy farming nor spring planting, it is a time to relax.

Jiang Yongsheng did not expect to meet Jiang Mingshun here at this time. He said, "I heard yesterday that your new house has been completed, and I was going to ask you when you would like to invite you to dinner."

Jiang Mingshun closed the door and replied: "I checked the date, and the day after tomorrow is a good day to move."

Here Jiang Mingshun went from house to house to deliver messages to the tribesmen, asking them to come up for a housewarming meal the day after.

Over there, Bai Shi has already started taking Jiang Jinyu to prepare the dishes for the day after tomorrow.

She had given birth some time ago, and now she occasionally goes out while her youngest son is asleep.

Before she came out today, she told Jiang Jinyu not to let her brother fall, while she went out to buy groceries with a basket in hand.

The vegetable patch at home has not yet been opened. During this period, most of the time the family eats wild vegetables. Occasionally, people with whom we have good relationships will send some vegetables.

The banquet set the day after tomorrow was no different than usual. There were more than a dozen tables for the Jiang clan alone. She wanted to let the villagers see how easy her family's life was now, so she had to prepare everything, including chicken, duck, and fish. few.

Jiang Mingshun entered the city after sending messages to various places.

You can buy chicken, duck, fish and meat in the village, but you have to go to the county town to buy good wine.

In addition, in order to prepare more than a dozen tables of dishes, he had to buy some seasonings and go back.

It has to be said that Jiang Jinyu's insistence on watching her mother cook in the kitchen during this period finally paid off. At least her parents now know the importance of seasonings.

After all the busy work, the day of moving finally came. Jiang Mingrong and Jiang Minglei brought their wives to help them early in the morning.

At this time, several people were squatting in the yard, killing fish and washing vegetables. Jiang Mingrong was still proudly telling his wife which parts of the house he had built.

Jiang Mingrong's daughter-in-law, whose surname is Qin, is a girl from Qinjia Village across the street. She quietly looked at the new house while washing vegetables, and felt that it was indeed very different from the houses in the village.

Mrs. Qin has a quiet temper, but Mrs. He, Jiang Minglei's daughter-in-law, is very sharp-tongued.

While she was working, she talked to Mrs. Bai. In addition to talking about her children, she basically talked about the new house. She even asked where and how many bricks were used. She probably had the same idea of ​​building a similar house.

After a while, Jiang Minghui, Liu and Liu also came over with their children.

As soon as Jiang Minghui arrived, he went to Jiang Mingshun's place to help set the table.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu came over with several women.

"Hey, sister-in-law, your house is very good." Mrs. Liu took a cabbage, soaked it in the basin and washed it, while turning to talk to Ms. Bai.

Bai Shi was a little proud. Usually she was suppressed by her younger siblings, but now she finally surpassed them, so naturally she felt proud.

However, she had never been of a high-profile nature, so she just smiled and did not answer the question.

When Mrs. Liu saw her not speaking, she felt quite contemptuous in her heart. It was true that mud could not hold up the wall. Even though she was so rich, she still looked like a clay figure.

Thinking of this, the jealousy that had arisen in her heart since she saw the new house calmed down a lot.People like her sister-in-law have no hope of having a good life!

Bai didn't know that her second sibling had thought so much in just a short time.

More clan members came one after another, all of whom were close friends and planned to come over in advance to help. Bai was busy entertaining people.

Everyone was busy until noon. Mrs. Bai picked out a table of dishes from the prepared chicken, duck, and fish. After a quick lunch, she continued to work on the evening meal.The sun was gradually setting in the west, and people came one after another with their own tables, chairs and benches.Each of them found someone they knew well and sat down.

This is also common in the village.

How can farmers have so much spare money to buy tables, chairs and benches that are only used once or twice a year? It is more convenient to bring them individually.

The men had already started drinking, laughing loudly and praising the good wine from time to time.

The women's talk mostly revolved around the house. They praised the yard for raising chickens, and said that with the veranda, they don't have to worry about wind and snow entering the house, which may save a lot of firewood!
It wasn't until the moon was at its peak that the room gradually became deserted.

Jiang Jinyu had a headache looking at the mess in the yard. Fortunately, the clan members had already taken away their tables, chairs and benches when they left, and the leftovers were also taken away by the people at the table, one by one, along with their bowls.

Jiang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of not having to wash the dishes. This way the workload would be much smaller.

Jiang Mingshun had been drunk to the point of unconsciousness, lying in the room and sleeping soundly.

Mrs. Bai was cleaning the kitchen. Although she didn't have to wash the dishes, the pots still belonged to her.

Looking at the empty and spacious courtyard in front of him, Jiang Jinyu decisively entered the kitchen.

It was better to leave the sweeping of the dirt-filled floor to her father.

Jiang Jinyu helped Mr. Bai clean the kitchen and couldn't wait to wash up. After cleaning herself up, she entered her own private room.

Although they moved here last night, her parents said that it was not considered a move without a banquet. The new house was not popular enough, and she, a child, would be shocked to live by herself.

Therefore, today is the first day that she officially lives by herself.

It was quite pleasant to sleep by myself, but Jiang Jinyu looked up at the top of the tent that her mother had newly made. Her room was so empty that she didn't even have a place to put her clothes!

Early the next morning, Jiang Mingshun took a big broom and swept the floor in the yard.

Maybe it was the sobering tea he drank last night that worked, or maybe it was because the alcohol content in this era was relatively low. Although he wasn't in high spirits when he woke up this morning, he didn't feel dizzy or nauseated either.

The house has been built, and the family finally has a place to settle down.

But just like Jiang Jinyu's room, the main room was also empty. There was a set of tables, chairs and benches placed in the whole house, also in the main room.

So, after cleaning the yard, Jiang Mingshun took a hoe and knife and planned to go to the mountain to chop some wood to make furniture.

Although the mountains in Huangtian Village are not very high, they are connected one after another. There are also quite a lot of flowers, plants and trees on the mountains.

Although these mountains are not the mountains in the village, villagers often go into the mountains to cut firewood and dig wild vegetables.

In order to prepare the land for building a house, the Yuan Jiang family also cut down a lot of trees, but these trees were not big and had been chopped down and used as firewood and piled in the woodshed.

Jiang Ming planned to go into the mountains to cut down some old trees and come back.

When Jiang Jinyu saw him, she hurriedly ran out. She had been detained at home during this period, and it was really a long time since she came out to get some air.

"Dad, take me there too. Our vegetables haven't grown yet. I'll follow you to dig some wild vegetables and come back." Jiang Jinyu ran over panting, carrying a small basket her father had made for her.

"No, I went deep this time and you are in danger." Jiang Mingshun refused.
