Li Qingzhi told the three children stories for a long time, and then began to sing nursery rhymes in dialect: "Rocking, rocking to Grandma's Bridge, Grandma treated me to rice cakes..."
He had not been singing for long when the three children's breathing calmed down.
He and Jin Xiaoye hugged each other in the dark for a long time. After a while, Jin Xiaoye asked, "Are they asleep?"
Li Qingzhi said, "They are already asleep. I will carry them to the next room."
The two worked together and took the three children to Li Damao and Li Ermao's room.
Finally, we can enjoy our own world together!
Of course, the next day they were inevitably asked by Li Damao and Li Ermao: "Dad, why are there mice again?"
"Dad, why don't you drive the rats away and change rooms?"
Li Qingzhi coughed lightly: "Dad just wants to sleep in your room for one night."
So that's how it is! Li Damao suddenly realized: "Dad, you and mom can sleep in our room today! We'll all sleep here!"
There are two beds in Li Damao and Li Ermao's room, which can accommodate five people.
"Okay." Li Qingzhi agreed immediately.
It’s much easier to coax the three children to sleep in Li Damao and Li Ermao’s room, and then they can go back to their own rooms to sleep!
After Li Qingzhi answered the three children's questions and took them downstairs, Jin Xiaoye was already making breakfast.
Originally, the female workers took turns to prepare breakfast, but she gave each of them fifty cents yesterday, so today she let them take the money and go out for a walk and buy some things.
Anyway, in the morning, I just need to cook some porridge and eggs, which is quick to make, so she can just do it.
"Xiao Ye, let me light the fire." Li Qingzhi went over to help.
Jin Xiaoye did not object. While cooking, she chatted with Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, when are we going back to Miaoqian Village to hold the banquet?"
She really wanted to go back and hold a wedding banquet. Li Qingzhi passed the provincial examination and ranked first. This really made her happy!
Li Qingzhi saw Jin Xiaoye was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Why not tomorrow?"
He talked with Jin Xiaoye for a long time last night and knew that Jin Xiaoye was not so busy now. It would be completely fine for her to take a day off to go back to the countryside to hold the wedding banquet, and it would also allow the female workers in Miaoqian Village to go home.
"Okay, then I'll find someone to order the things." Jin Xiaoye said.
A lot of meat is needed for a wedding banquet, but you may not be able to buy it on the day. You need to tell the butcher in advance and ask him to prepare it.
Generally speaking, people buy a pig directly.
As for chickens and ducks, just buy them from the people in Miaoqian Village.
Jin Xiaoye began to calculate how much stuff they needed to prepare and how many people they needed to invite.
Li Qingzhi was giving advice nearby, saying, "Xiaoye, isn't there a braised food recipe in the cookbook that Chang Zhan put on Chang Cui? Let's make braised food when the time comes. It's convenient, delicious, and saves trouble."
"This is someone else's recipe. Will it be bad if we use it?" Jin Xiaoye asked.
Li Qingzhi said: "We are not using this for business. We just make some when entertaining guests. What's the problem?" Li Qingzhi was very interested in the dishes in the Chang family's cookbook. He had already tried to make a few of them. He didn't fail, but they were a bit troublesome.
Such a troublesome dish cannot be prepared by just anyone, nor can it be cooked in large pots.
