Chapter 1069: Distribution of Homecoming Gifts
To be honest, although this era is not like the old society, men who cook in the kitchen do exist, but indeed there are not many; hearing the words of the Xiao family's several sons-in-law, everyone in the courtyard burst out laughing, and in their hearts were intensely envious.
The several neighbors who came to help in the kitchen were especially prominent: "Plum Blossom, you have such good fortune; look, every son-in-law is so considerate. These good days are still ahead."
Xiao Mu, who had originally been aching over her meat, eggs, and vegetables, upon hearing these words could not help but have a face full of smiles: "It is all because their fathers-in-law set a good example."
Seeing Qiu Jinzhou like this, Xiao Nianchun did not feel right in her heart either; she naturally understood that his being so proactive today was for what reason, but to be honest, after those things happened, it was false to say she did not blame him, yet life must go on; they could not remain in stalemate forever, after all they still had Yi Ming and Yi Lin, and they must think of them.
However, thinking that he could do this much for her, those awkward feelings finally softened; she handed over a towel: "Look at all that sweat on your head, wipe it off quickly."
Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Qiu Jinzhou laughed like a second fool: "It is still my daughter-in-law who treats me best."
Xiao Lao Yezi could not bear to watch: "Enough, sit down quickly."
In front of everyone, Xiao Lao Yezi briefly said a few words of blessing to the young couple, then took the opportunity to say some encouraging words to everyone, only then raising his cup: "Come, let us all raise our cups together, wishing Chuxue and Yan Cheng mutual respect and mutual help, mutual tolerance, and a prosperous life."
After everyone responded together, came the sound of bowls and chopsticks clinking; truly, the food and dishes were so fragrant, everyone had actually been craving them long ago.
Because the Fu family would divide the household tonight, Chuxue did not plan to stay at her maiden home too late.
So after finishing the meal and tidying up, Chuxue took out the things she had brought: "Grandfather, this is what I prepared for you; the item is rare, one small cup a day, more is not allowed; this thing warms and tonifies the body, you must not be greedy."
The Tongling jar was still sealed: "Is this wine?"
Chuxue nodded with a smile: "Yes, this is ginseng wine soaked under someone's guidance."
Not only was Xiao Lao Yezi surprised, but everyone present was also somewhat surprised.
Although it had not yet been opened to taste, just this carefulness made Xiao Lao Yezi very happy: "Truly thoughtful, still remembering Grandfather's health."
Afterwards, Chuxue handed the ginseng honey to Miao Yiqiu: "Auntie, this is prepared for you; from now on, scoop a small spoonful every morning to mix with water and drink, ensuring your body remains strong."
Everyone thought it was ordinary honey and were amused by Chuxue's words, laughing.
Only Miao Yiqiu, who had received the item, knew this was surely something good; she had smelled a faint medicinal fragrance; although she did not know exactly what was put inside, this certainly was not simple honey.
She did not expect this child to have specially prepared something for her; a wave of emotion rose in her heart; it seemed truly that one heart wins another heart; her sincere giving was worth it: "Thank you both, you are thoughtful; Auntie likes it very much."
Afterwards, Chuxue divided the things the Fu family had prepared into two parts: "Eldest Uncle, this portion you take back; it counts as a small token of my and Yan Cheng's gratitude."
Before Xiao Changjiang could speak words of refusal, she said to Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu: "Mom and Dad, this portion is for you; thank you for raising me to grow up."
Only Xiao Mu in this group was somewhat unhappy.
Chuxue naturally saw it, but she had done what she ought to do and would not care how she thought; after all, regarding this family coming to the capital city, the eldest uncle's family had contributed no small effort, and moreover this courtyard originally belonged partly to the eldest uncle; not only did the eldest uncle have no objection, but even the eldest uncle's wife had no displeasure whatsoever.
It was only that the eldest cousin-in-law had spoken a few cold words before, but the eldest cousin had specially apologized to them because of this matter.
