Then, they split the small bowl of noodles into two halves.
A small portion was for Jiang Yue and the other was for Xue Yan. Jiang Yue mainly wanted to drink some soup, so Xue Yan gave her more soup.
Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu each had a huge bowl of mutton noodles.
Xue Wufu only took one bite before he started shouting, “This noodle is too delicious. No wonder their business is so good.”
Xue Sifu first has a large mouthful before looking at the business of this noodle stall, smiling, “If the business isn’t good, this noodle stall won’t be able to continue. Generally, those who can continue to do business have a trick up their sleeve. They have to make something exceptionally delicious. Only with good food would there be good business. Alright, alright, let’s eat quickly. After we finish eating, we still have to take a ride on the ox cart. You can’t possibly ask Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to walk with us back, right? Tian is going back earlier and earlier every day, we better not miss it.”
Xue Wufu took a big gulp while speaking vaguely, “Tian’s son is about to get married, so he’s been busy. That’s why he has been packing up so early recently. I heard that he didn’t even drive the ox cart to town yesterday.”
After eating the noodles, Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu took Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to the ox cart.
It was only noon, not even the afternoon, and Tian was already going to pack up and drive the ox cart back.
Tian was also very happy to see that they could catch up with the ox cart. There were four of them. If they took the ox cart back, it would cost them four coins.
If Jiang Yue wasn’t with Xue Yan, Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu wouldn’t have spent money to sit on the ox cart even if they were beaten to death.
Their precious children were still young, and the road from the town to the village was so far. How could the two children walk home? Of course, they had to take the ox cart.
Before the ox cart left the town, they were already talking about Tian’s son getting married. Tian was so happy that he could not shut his mouth.
His son was about to get married, so he had finally completed one of his worries.
Tian couldn’t help but say to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, you must go and receive the wedding cake that day. I hope that my grandchildren will be as smart and sensible as you two. Look at how smart and sensible you are. No one in the village will say anything bad about you two.”
Here, there was a tradition in the farmers’ world. Whoever was married had to give children their wedding cakes. On that day, the more children who went to pick up the wedding cakes, the better.
It would mean that the new daughter-in-law would marry into the family and have many children and grandchildren in the future.
Of course, everyone knew that this was ridiculous, but they still wanted to do it for good luck.
It was just like how red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds were prepared for a wedding, symbolizing the early birth of a child.
Without waiting for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to reply, Xue Sifu smiled and answered on behalf of his two precious children, “Tian, don’t worry. It’s such a joyous occasion for your family. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan will definitely be there to support the marriage.”
These words were said beautifully, and Tian was even happier. He kept saying, “Okay, okay, okay. That’s good to hear.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and thought that their Sifu was really good with words.
He wasn’t smooth in dealing with people, but at least he was very tactful in dealing with things.
On this side, Jiang Yue and the rest were on their way back by ox cart. On the other side, Xue Erfu, Xue Wen, and Li Qingshu had just returned to the village when they were immediately surrounded by many people.
Ever since they went to town in the morning, Xue Wen’s house, Li Qingshu’s house, and the families whose oil had not been sold were not in the mood to do anything else. This morning, they had come to the village entrance many times just to see if Xue Erfu and the others had returned. They wanted to know the news as soon as possible.
