Chapter 442 All Women's Glory!

rself up like a frostbitten eggplant.Old Mrs. Li had no energy either. She stared at her granddaughter, not daring to take her eyes off for a moment, then recounted the history between the Li and Sun...Mrs. Cui, with half her cheeks flushed red, secretly glanced at her senior brother sitting opposite her.

Perhaps it was a mutual understanding, Mr. Wen happened to look over as well. Their eyes met, and their faces flushed completely red.

Everyone was chatting idly, but they had already seen through their little actions. They were all trying hard to hold back their laughter.

Perhaps, after the two become in-laws, they will have good news soon!

Old Lady Li hurriedly drove her granddaughter away, "Grandma is tired, go have your aunt hold you for a while!"

How could Jia Yin not know Grandma's little abacus This is letting Shigu enjoy the blessings.

She was thirsty too, so she ran over and sat in her aunt's lap, letting her pour tea for her to drink.

Mrs. Cui held the teacup and fed Jia Yin small sips, afraid she would choke, and then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Mr. Wen couldn't help but stare intently.

If they also had a child, my junior sister would surely be a good mother...

Soon, the dishes were all served, as usual, with two tables inside and outside.

Men were drinking and chatting in the main hall, while women were eating and taking care of children inside.

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Cui, Hui'niang, and Wu Da's mother all congratulated Tao Hongying on her private dish being a huge success.

These days, for a farmer's wife to avoid being beaten and still be able to make her own decisions at home is already quite difficult.

Tao Hongying, surprisingly, managed to carve out a place for herself among the male chefs in Xindu, with her exceptional culinary skills. She was highly respected by all.

This is not Tao Hongying's individual glory, but the glory of all the sisters at Suijintan Beach and all the women in Tianwu.

Tao Hongying was delighted inside, but humbly said a few words on her mouth. Her hands, however, kept serving dishes to her mother-in-law and daughter.

Without the support of her mother-in-law and the help from her daughters, she wouldn't have achieved success today...

We ate until the sky turned dark before we finally parted ways.

Mr. Wen stayed at Li's house and slept on the same kang with Li Laoer.

Mrs. Cui led the bouncing Jia Yin back to the next door.

Needless to say, Madam Cui secretly delivered more goods to Jia Yin's small treasure vault.

Sometimes it's small jewelry, sometimes it's good material, anyway, she never comes back from Suijin Beach empty-handed.

Apart from providing for the Li family's needs, they would also prepare an extra portion for their young niece.

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying naturally knew, but they didn't stop them, nor could they stop them.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already discussed it. When Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen got married, they would send a generous gift. Given the current situation, they needed to start preparing that gift soon.

Maybe good fortune is closer than they think!

Early the next day, Li Laosi carried a basket of food and a large package on his horse, riding to the pier.

The food was prepared by Tao Hongying, and Jiayin also added some fresh fruit.

The package was Li Lao Tai's hard work over a month, with wolfskin knee pads, duck-down vests, and duck-down quilts.

Needless to say, this down waistcoat and quilt were also Jia Yin's ideas.

Recently, both at home and in taverns, has become the hell of ducks.

One day, they would consume about ten or so ducks, almost eating up all the ducks near Xindu.

The down feathers are a waste to be thrown away, so Gia Yin urged her mother to help collect all the down feathers.

Then she moved her lips, and grandma got to work. After several days of hard work, they actually finished these two pieces.

For this, Mrs. Li specially did not burn the kang and slept on a down quilt for the night, it was really very warm.

She wished she could make another set of down-filled coats and trousers for the Marquis, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough down.

You have to know, Lao Si and Dayong could take turns coming back to rest, only Houye remained steadfast in the camp.

On such a winter day, the camp doesn't even have a kang (heated brick bed), I don't know how to endure it.

That afternoon, Li Yong rode back on his horse.

Even though Hui Niang tried to restrain herself, a smile bloomed on her face. That night, of course, the couple had dinner at Li's house again.

Although not related by blood, Li Yong truly considers himself the fifth son of the Li family.

Upon returning home, one must surely come to greet Li Tai and have a reunion dinner...

Happy days always pass quickly, in a blink of an eye, it's already been three or four days.

Tao Hongying went to the restaurant to cook, while Huiniang and Liu Saozi, along with several village women including Sun Er Sao, came to Li's house to help decorate the new bridal chamber.

Although bedding and wooden furniture were prepared by the Peng family, window paper needed to be re-pasted and the kang mat had to be replaced with a new one.

Everywhere should be wiped clean, and even the dust on the beams needs to be cleaned.

Jia Yin was so well-behaved and helpful, running around and helping to pass things, earning praise from all the women.

At that moment, the courtyard outside suddenly became noisy.

Li Lao Tai peeked out and saw that it was Jia Ren and several other children who had returned!

She hurried out joyfully and asked, "Has the academy started its winter break"

"Grandma!"

"Grandma, I miss you!"

"Grandma, I want to eat your steamed egg custard!"

The little boys surrounded their grandmother, some hugging her arms and others holding her waist, wishing they could hang on her.

"Oh my, oh my, this old woman can't take all this commotion!" Old Lady Li chided, tapping each of them lightly, but her smile widened with amusement.

Jiārén searched everywhere and saw Jiāyīn coming out of the house. He picked her up and gave her a big hug and kiss. Then he shouted at his younger brothers, “Stop making noise, or you'll trip Grandma.”

The little boys scattered and then came back to jostle the younger sister.

"Sister, have you missed your brother Brother brought you some zhigao!"

"Let me have a hug! Let me hug my sister too!"

"Oh my, don't rush, don't rush!"

The kids were simply bursting with joy at returning home, they couldn't contain their excitement.

The family was joyous, as always. Four hands clasped together to form a sedan chair, carrying the younger sister through the courtyard, laughing and running. Jia Yin was both frightened and delighted, clinging tightly to her brother's neck, screaming excitedly.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er were also grinning as they followed behind, quickly slipping into the west room.

Still, Jiarong is the most considerate one, helping Grandma into the kitchen.

Li Laotai was going to make steamed egg custard for her grandchildren, Shui Yun wanted to help, but Jia Ren refused. He rolled up his sleeves and helped his grandmother start a fire while chatting with her.

Let me tell you about some interesting things that happened at the academy, and also that Uncle Three and Auntie Three are tidying up the small courtyard and will be back tomorrow.

Li Laotai's subordinates were busy, and her face was always smiling.

While in the west room of the main house, Cat Brother had already nimbly bolted the door and quickly climbed onto the kang.

Four little boys sat in a row, all of them staring at their sister who was sitting in front of them, each with a beaming smile.

Jia Yin also happily opened her purse and took out four candy balls.

The boys cheered, then quickly hushed, afraid someone might hear them.

"Don't eat yet, there's something better." Jia Yin waved her little hand and ran to the end of the kang bed. She opened the box lid.

She took out several cantaloupes from the space, shielding herself with a box.

The little boys were getting more and more excited, too lazy to wash up. They just wiped their clothes haphazardly and started munching crunching away.

When the younger sister didn't eat, the elder brother thought she disliked the melon because it wasn't washed. So, he took the melon and licked it with his saliva, then rubbed it against his clothes forcefully. Finally, he put it into his younger sister's hand and said with a smile, "It's clean now, sister, eat it!"

Jiāyīn hugged the cantaloupe, countless crows flying over her head.

She wanted to say... she wasn't thirsty, she wasn't hungry, she didn't want to eat!

But her brother watched with longing, she could only pick up the cantaloupe and bite into it fiercely!

Have it, have it, this isn't a fragrant watermelon, this is big brother's overflowing love!

Without mentioning how lively the children were inside, let's just say that Li Lao Tai's egg custard was about to be served when a knock on the door interrupted the peace.

When Hui-niang heard the noise, she had just finished her work and immediately went to open the courtyard gate.with resentment.She must have a body type that gains weight even by drinking cold water.So, it's really not that she's gluttonous, or that she has a sweet tooth, no, absolutely not...Fat Jia Yin again...
