Chapter 98: Building a House

"Coming back?" Mingyue glanced at the two people who were empty-handed, "Didn't you say you went shopping?" What about things? ”

"Haven't delivered it yet." Yu Jiayan smiled and was in a very happy mood, "It's all big, I made an appointment with them to wait for the house to be built." ”

Mingyue nodded, "Then wash your hands and get ready to eat, I've already asked someone to call our grandmother and them back." ”

For lunch, she prepared a very simple pot, a large pot of tomato and egg drop soup, a large pot of potato braised pork, a large pot of spicy rabbit meat, a large pot of sauerkraut pork vermicelli stewed frozen tofu, a large pot of braised lamb with radish, five large pots of sorghum rice full of top-notched rice, and five large drawers of white and chubby steamed buns.

Of course, these are all prepared by her for others, but she herself does not plan to eat so richly.

A large bowl of shredded cabbage, a large bowl of celery and peanuts, plus a large bowl of braised potatoes and a large bowl of sauerkraut pork vermicelli stewed frozen tofu, this is the "small stove" food she prepared for herself.

Mingxu and Yu Jiayan have long been accustomed to this girl opening a small stove for themselves to make vegetarian food, and it just so happens that they need to change their tastes after eating a lot of oil and meat these days, so the two honestly and unceremoniously grabbed her cold dishes with Mingyue.

By the time Mrs. Ming and the others returned home, Mingyue had already eaten and wiped them clean, perfectly eliminating the "evidence" of their stealing food.

The relatives of the Ming family, who didn't know the "truth", ate a delicious hot meal, and couldn't help but praise Mingyue for being capable, sensible, filial, and caring, which made the elders of the Ming family happy.

In the evening, Wang returned to his post very consciously and took his two little daughters, Sun Xiaojuan and Sun Xiaoxia, to prepare dinner for the Ming family and relatives of the Ming family.

Mingyue still didn't have to prepare too carefully, "... The amount is large and delicious, and then there is a little lighter, after all, it is night, and the food is too greasy to restrain it. ”

After a little thought, Wang decided to make noodles for everyone to eat, pure white noodles with minced meat and sauerkraut marinade, both filling and appetizing.

Wang prepared a platter of braised pork, red oil belly shreds, stir-fried kidney flowers, shallots mixed with tofu, hot and sour lotus root slices, dried tofu shredded with cabbage, cold shredded potatoes, celery peanuts, at the request of Mingyue, she made a big pot of each one, and strived to be delicious at the same time to let the guests open their bellies to eat casually.

After three full days of eating, drinking, and merrymaking, the Ming family sent away a group of relatives.

"Oh, I'm about to become a god these days." As soon as the guests left, Mrs. Ming, who couldn't stay idle, immediately changed into patched old clothes for herself, "No, I have to go to the workshop to have a look." ”

Mingyue didn't stop her, just as Xie and Tao also changed their clothes and came out of their rooms, and the three of them simply went to the bean products workshop and vermicelli workshop in the old mansion together.

After a while, Zhou also changed into coarse cloth clothes and came out, and she couldn't find Mrs. Ming and her two concubines everywhere, and she guessed that they must have gone to the old mansion together.

She couldn't help but complain to Mingyue, "If you want me to say, we people may be born to work hard." You let us sit idle for a few days, and we ourselves are all exhausted. ”

Mingyue giggled.

Not to mention Mrs. Ming and others, who have been diligent for decades, even she, who has not worked hard for a few years, has to figure out something for herself every day.

It is precisely because she knows what kind of temperament her family members have, that Mingyue will specially pick an honest, diligent and capable subordinate from the beginning, otherwise in the current situation of her family, it is definitely a matter of minutes for the slave to bully the master.

***

Before the freeze, Yu Jiayan built a small house with two entrances on the other side of the Ming family's new house.

The internal structure of the house is almost the same as the new house of the Ming family, the yard is a blue brick house, the front yard and the back yard are three main houses, three east chambers, and three warehouses.

In order to facilitate the use of water, Yu Jiayan also asked the master who built the house to dig a well in the courtyard by the way.

After the house was built and dried, the furniture and dowry gifts that Yu Jiayan bought in the town were all delivered to the house one after another.

Of course, the custom of "burning the bottom of the pot" cannot be ignored, but Yu Jiayan only invited the Ming family and Yu Shouyi to come over, and even Yu Shouyi's wife Feng Shi failed to step into the door of Yu Jiayan's new house.

In the past few years, Yu Shouyi's family has also lived a life with the light of the Ming family, because Yu Jiayan only recognizes Yu Shouyi, and Yu Jiayan does not recognize any other children, whether it is Feng or her and Yu Shouyi's children, so Yu Shouyi has gradually gained a status in the family in recent years.

A few days ago, when he went to Ming's house for dinner, he had tentatively mentioned letting Yu Jiayan go to his house to sit down, and he also said tentative words such as "Your cousins want to get together with you".

However, Yu Jiayan didn't dump his "hard work" at all, and before he could speak, Yu Jiayan went back directly with an indifferent face, "I have lived for fifteen years, and the first time my cousins didn't ask me to 'get out' and 'get away', but wanted to 'get together' with me, uncle, do you think I should go?" ”

Yu Shouyi still wants to be a person with a face, Yu Jiayan said so, where can he still say the three words "you should go", so in the end, he only achieved the purpose of hanging his own land under Yu Jiayan's name.

As for Yu Jiayan's new house "Burning Pot", Yu Jiayan directly told him in advance, "You can come by yourself, you don't need to bring anything, and of course, you don't need to bring anyone else." ”

Yu Shouyi was still hesitating whether to do what Feng said, and directly brought a family to the door to "burn the bottom of the pot" for Yu Jiayan's new house.

Feng failed to achieve his goal, and made a lot of trouble with him at home.

Earlier, the Ming family broke off contact with her, and everyone in their family, the Ming family only recognized Yu Shouyi as an in-law.

Now Yu Jiayan is also following the Ming family, not to mention her, even her children Yu Jiayan is not allowed to come to the door, how can Feng not be depressed?

She won't think about how she and her children treated Yu Jiayan at the beginning, she will only think that it was the Ming family who taught Yu Jiayan badly, that they were afraid that Yu Jiayan would be close to her family, and that they wanted to continue to keep Yu Jiayan to make cattle and horses for their family.

"That's your own nephew, and you are willing to let him alienate our family and get close to Lao Ming's family?" She looked indignant, "Look at him now, does he still remember his last name?" The children of the Lao Ming family, he all treat them as brothers, but they are the children of our family, he is the one who sees it in the village and does not take the initiative to say hello, is this still the appearance of treating our children as brothers? This is an enemy, right? ”
