“Then let’s pack some of every dish,” Xue Dafu said.

“Okay.”

When the dishes were ready, Liu Guixia put some of each dish into a bowl and asked Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to send them to Xue Da.

Xue Da was very happy to see the two children, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.

By the time Xue Yan and Jiang Yue returned from Xue Da’s place, Qingshu and the others had also arrived. They were all arranged to sit around a table in the central room.

When Qingshu and the others saw Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, they waved at them, “Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, you’re back. Come over, come over and eat.”

He wanted them to sit at the table.

However, there were already so many people seated that there weren’t many empty seats left. There was just enough space for Xue Dafu, Xue Erfu, and Xue Yifu.

Liu Guixia served the dishes on the table and smiled. “They’re just kids and can’t drink, so they won’t be at this table. You guys can eat by yourselves.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan greeted them politely before they went to the cooking shed.

As soon as they entered the shed, they could clearly see that there were 11 dishes on the stove. Including the dish that Liu Guixia had just carried, there should be 12 dishes.

They were all quite heavy.

The oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar in the dishes were also more than usual.

In addition to a large plate of fish and meat, there was also a large bowl of green vegetable tofu soup, a large bowl of minced meat and egg soup, and the rest were all vegetables picked from the garden at home. There were even dried vegetables that had been dried in the sun before, such as dried beans and dried radishes.

She even stir-fried a plate of peanuts to go with the wine.

Qing Shu and the rest did not expect to have so many dishes. They were all shocked and could not sit still. “Dafu, Guixia, there are too many dishes here.”

Their family was never this sumptuous before.

“All these years, Erfu has been looking for you whenever he needs something. In the past, we couldn’t even afford to buy meat when I asked you to eat. Now that our life is better, eat to your heart’s content.” Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu laughed.

“Alright, alright, what are you waiting for?” Xue Erfu opened the bottle of wine. “Hurry up and give me the bowls. I’ll pour you some wine. I specially went to town to buy this. One bowl for each of you.”

Qingshu and the others were used to Xue Erfu’s antics, so they immediately lifted their drinks and started joking around like they usually did.

When the dishes were served, Liu Guixia also came out of the central room and let the men drink in the central room.

Under the shed, a small table had already been found and placed. There were dishes on the small table, but there were much fewer dishes than in the central room.

However, there was still each of everything, just in a smaller portion.

The small table was surrounded by small stools. Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Wufu, Yu Hongyan, and Li Hehua had already sat down.

Liu Guixia also sat down.

“Eat, eat.” Liu Guixia urged with a smile.

Only then did everyone start eating.

As expected, the more oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar were added, the better the taste.

Jiang Yue was so small, so she didn’t have a big appetite. She poured two kinds of soup on top of a small bowl of rice. She didn’t ask for any other dishes, so she finished the small bowl of rice in small bites.

When Jiang Yue and the others finished their meal, the central room was still bustling with noise and excitement. Since they were still drinking, they probably were going to eat for a while longer, so Jiang Yue went to sit at the side.

It was already dark. There were oil lamps in the central room and under the cooking shed, but the dim yellow light couldn’t reach so far. Once she sat down at the side, it was no different from being hidden in the darkness.

After thinking for a while, she moved the small stool under her butt and sat next to Xue Yan.
