Chapter 151: Banquet
Wen Wuyan heard this and raised his hands to clasp his fists and bowed to Jiang Qingyan, "Boss Jiang, you are joking. At present, we still have to rely on your Qingfeng Bookstore to bring us more sales. We dare not be arrogant. Let's not talk about anything else. Just based on the fact that Boss Shen sold us the blueprints of the house, as long as Boss Jiang likes what we make, he will definitely give you priority."
"Hahaha, I feel relieved with Brother Wen's words." Jiang Qingyan was really happy. He didn't know why, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that they could make good paper.
If I have to say why I believe in them, is it because they can always make things that I like?
Then, Gu Qingqing left the study room on the pretext that someone was busy in the yard, leaving the two of them to chat in the study room.
While the two of them were chatting, Gu Qingqing happily saw the guests off. The return gift from the villagers was two sauerkrauts per family, and everyone took them away happily while praising the guests.
At the same time, he also prepared a return gift for Jiang Qingyan. He vaguely knew that he was alone, so he did not give him too many vegetables, just a little of each. He did give him a lot of charcoal.
After Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing sent most of the people in the village away, Wen Wuyan didn't care that Luo Meihua and Wang Xiaoxiu were still there, and he immediately pushed Gu Qingqing onto the stool beside the table.
"You were so busy just now that you didn't have time to eat anything. Wait here for me. I'll go get the food from the kitchen."
"Let me go, you don't know how to do it."
Gu Qingqing said this before her butt left the stool and was pushed down by Wen Wuyan again, "How could I not know? Sit down and wait for me."
After Wen Wuyan finished speaking, he went to the kitchen.
When Luo Meihua and Wang Xiaoxiu saw Wen Wuyan walking away, they came over. Luo Meihua joked with Gu Qingqing, "Sister-in-law, Brother Wuyan is so good to you."
Wang Xiaoxiu also nodded beside him.
She rarely saw a man who was so caring. Although Da Jun was good to her, it was not as good as the relationship between Qingqing and his wife. Wang Xiaoxiu thought for a long time before she came up with a word: harmony.
Gu Qingqing knew whether Wen Wuyan was good or not, but she said, "He can't sit still since he was able to walk."
"That's because Brother Wuyan feels sorry for you, so he rushes to do any work." Wang Xiaoxiu said from the side.
"The dishes we cooked today are delicious. Every table has been cleaned up. Sister-in-law, you take a break here. Xiaoxiu and I will take the dishes to the kitchen first."
It was impossible for Gu Qingqing not to be tired. Besides, it was already around three quarters past noon. As soon as she sat down, her body felt empty and her arms wanted to tremble.
She didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll trouble you and Xiaoxiu. It's cold, remember to boil some hot water for washing."
"Yes, I know." Luo Meihua said, and started to collect the plates on the table, and Wang Xiaoxiu followed to help.
Before Gu Qingqing could catch her breath, she saw Xiaocao beside her stand up and help clean up.
She glanced at her big belly, and was so scared that she jumped up from her chair and went over to stop her from doing it.
"Xiao Cao, just sit still. If you start to make a move, I'll get angry."
"Sister..." Lu Xiaocao liked the feeling of being cared for, but she felt that she was not so useless.
"I have the final say in my house. Sit down." Gu Qingqing didn't even give her a chance to speak.
Luo Meihua had been chatting with Xiaocao during the meal, so when she saw her about to move, she said, "Xiaocao, we are here, there is no need for you to do anything. Just listen to your sister and chat with her."
"Aunt, please chat with my mother. Daxin and I can also help." Dahua felt that her face was sore from smiling today, but she couldn't help it.
"Aunt, I can help too." Erhua also said from the side, and at the same time reached out to grab the bowl on the table, but was stopped by Wang Xiaoxiu with her quick eyes and hands.
"Erhua, take the chopsticks." Wang Xiaoxiu said as she handed a pair of chopsticks to Erhua.
She didn't dare let the child hold the bowl, because children don't know how to control their hands, and if they can't hold it steadily, the bowl will be broken.
Erhua took it and ran towards the kitchen. Seeing this, Dahua immediately shouted, "Don't run."
Erhua turned around and made a face at Dahua, then walked obediently.
When Wen Wuyan came out of the kitchen, the table had already been cleared.
He put the tray on the table and took the bowl down and said, "Qingqing, are you going to take the pickled cabbage and meat left in the kitchen to give to my mother-in-law? I scooped out half a bowl."
Gu Qingqing took the bowl and chopsticks, and hummed. Then she looked up at Wen Wuyan and asked, "Don't you want to eat something?"
"I just ate some in the front yard. You eat first. I'll go put the vegetables into a jar."
"Yeah, and pig intestines." Gu Qingqing took a bite of the food and said to Wen Wuyan's back as he walked into the yard.
Wen Wuyan turned his back to her and raised his hand as a response.
Gu Qingqing was very hungry. Faced with the delicious food, she could not say anything and just started eating.
By the time she had eaten and drunk her fill, Luo Meihua and Wang Xiaoxiu had already washed all the dishes and left when they saw that nothing was wrong.
Xiao Cao looked up at the sky and said timidly, "Sister, we have to go back too. It's mainly because I walk fast, otherwise I could stay with you for a while longer."
"Well, I'm worried about leaving you alone at home, so I won't let you stay overnight. I'll pack some food for you later and you can take it home and eat slowly." Gu Qingqing said as she stood up and walked out.
The return gifts for other people are always two pickled cabbages, but not for Gu Zhuangzhuang.
After having a full stomach, Gu Qingqing filled him with five kilograms of flour and five kilograms of rice, and told Gu Zhuangzhuang, "This rice and flour is specially prepared for Xiaocao, you can't eat it. Xiaocao will only have strength to give birth if she eats well."
Gu Zhuangzhuang had a good meal today. He rarely drooled when looking at the white rice noodles. He just nodded and said, "I know, sister."
"Xiaocao, if you want to eat later, just prepare it in the kitchen and eat it there. Go back and don't let the people at home know. After all, they are the elders and it's okay if they don't know there is food at home. But if they know and don't give them food, they might blame you for being unfilial when they meet others in the future." Gu Qingqing reminded Lu Xiaocao again.
"Got it, sis."
"Sauerkraut is only delicious when stewed with meat, so I won't bring you raw ones, otherwise you'll have to eat a piece of meat in order to eat some sauerkraut. Your brother-in-law packed some sauerkraut and pork intestines cooked at home for you. You can keep them for later eating after they freeze in the cold night. I also brought you some spinach and winter melon, so you should eat more when you go back. I've heard people say that eating more green leafy vegetables will help you have a baby."
She was not making this up. Vegetables are rich in vitamins, and if adults take some of them, childbirth will be smoother.
Lu Xiaocao was fooled by her and almost believed in her like a god. She wrote down everything she said.
After sending Gu Zhuangzhuang and Lu Xiaocao away, Gu Qingqing looked at the new home and shouted happily to the yard, "Who will go with me to the front yard to catch the chickens?"
