Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The engagement banquet was scheduled early in the morning. In order to make Xiaoting proud in front of her in-laws, Zhang specially asked Xiaoting to cook a few of her signature dishes. But because today was Xiaoting's big day, she couldn't cook all the dishes for the banquet. The general dishes were still cooked by Zhang, Fu, and Liu. Of course, Xiaolan also went over to help.

Xiaoting was used to cooking, and this time with her mother watching over the fire, she was able to do it even more easily.

Soon, Xiaolan's family prepared three tables, one for men, one for women, and one for children.

The male guests were Sheng Xuan and Zhang Qingfeng, while the female guests were Zhang and Xiaoting. Wen was in charge of taking care of the children's table.

Xiaolan, Fu, Liu and Xiaoyan did not sit at the table. They were responsible for serving the dishes and could only eat after the guests had finished eating. However, the three of them had no complaints and happily entertained the guests.

Zhao Dongjia looked at Xiaolan's busy and orderly home and exclaimed, "This is the atmosphere that a prosperous family should have."

After hearing this, Sheng Xuan smiled happily and continued to chat and laugh with the village head beside him.

Zhao Dongjia's words were unanimously agreed by everyone. From the banquet prepared by Xiaolan's family, we can see the prosperity of Xiaolan's family. What Zhao Dongjia said was not wrong. Since Xiaolan's family borrowed food and silver to help the villagers, Xiaolan's family has started to do good things. They led the villagers to escape the killing of the Hu people and successfully brought them to the capital. This merit is worth remembering for the young and old men in Shengjia Village for a lifetime, not to mention that after they came back, they started to hire workers to dig ponds, make tofu, weave baskets and baskets, build workshops, and settle silver every day.

The head of the village was the most deeply touched. He knew that people from all the surrounding villages envied Shengjia Village. It was precisely because of Xiaolan's family's actions that no one in Shengjia Village starved to death after returning home from the provincial capital. This was unique in Taihe Town.

Moreover, Xiaolan's family also prepared a special meal for the children today, which was also done out of consideration for the children's lack of food. This kind of action of preparing a special meal for children cannot be said to be the first since ancient times, but he has only experienced this once in his life. A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have more blessings. Xiaolan's family will have unlimited future development, the head of the village sighed inwardly.

After the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much. After the meal, everyone dispersed.

After sending the guests away, Zhang, Xiaolan, Liu, Fu, and Xiaoyan began to clean up. Xiaoting knew that her eldest and second aunts were busy with their own affairs and had not eaten yet, so she reached out to help, but was stopped by Xiaolan.

"Sister, if you want to work, you can do it any day, but you can't do it today. Today is your good day, you just need to be beautiful, and you can't do any other work." Xiaolan said to Xiaoting with a smile.

"Your sister is right," Fu said with a smile, "Today Xiaoting will only be responsible for Meimei."

"That's right, Sister Ting, you should take a rest. It's just a small job and we can finish it in a short time." Xiaoyan also advised.

Strength lies in numbers, and the table was quickly cleared. Then Zhang reheated the food and put it on the table for Fu and Liu to eat.

Zhang had put a lot of effort into Xiaoting's engagement banquet and was willing to spend money on the ingredients. Farmers usually ate simple meals, especially after a famine, when there was a shortage of food and drink, and every household was even more frugal. Although Xiaolan's family would not starve, Xin and Zhang were usually responsible for the family's food, and they would not prepare the same meals as these banquets.

Now that there are no outsiders present, the family can talk more freely.

"Today's engagement banquet was very good." Sheng Xuan drank some wine and talked more today than usual.

Zhang nodded in agreement. First, the betrothal gift from the Bao family made her feel very proud; then, the banquet prepared by her family also made her proud.

"Today's banquet was so successful, but it is inseparable from the help of my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and Xiaolan. They are busy here and outside, which makes me worry less." Zhang smiled and said, "Also, you didn't see that Bao Heng's mother kept praising Xiaolan and Xiaoyan at the table..."

Zhang was really happy today. The marriage that her eldest daughter Xiaoting had arranged was a perfect match for her. Although Xiaolan was young, she was smart and capable. She would definitely have a lot of luck in the future. This was what Xiaoting's future mother-in-law Zhao had whispered to her secretly.

How could she not be happy when her two daughters made her proud? Thinking about it, Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mom, what are you laughing at? Your face is as happy as a flower. What's so happy? Tell us so that we can all be happy with us." Xiao Lan finished her meal and saw her mother laughing like this, and asked hurriedly.

"Mom has thought about it. Your eldest sister's marriage has been decided, and it will be your turn next..." Zhang said with a smile.

Xiao Lan was shocked at first, "Mom, I am so young, you can't send me away so early."

"Even if you want to leave early, I won't let you. You are still young, there is no rush." ​​Seeing Xiao Lan was anxious, Zhang hurried to comfort her.

"That's right. No matter how soon it comes, it will never be your turn. Your sister Xiaoyan is still in the front." Fu said with a smile.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaoyan blushed and quickly stopped her mother from continuing.

Seeing that Zhang had no intention of asking her to get engaged in a hurry, Xiao Lan felt relieved and raised her hand to silently wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Mom, I can't bear to leave my eldest and second sisters, so let them stay at home forever." Xiao Wen said.

"Stop talking nonsense. Your elder sister is engaged, but she still has to wait two years before the wedding. These two years are not enough for you two siblings to be intimate?" Zhang said with a smile. She knew that Xiaowen had a deep relationship with Xiaoting and Xiaolan, especially with Xiaolan. It can be said that Xiaolan's importance in his heart may be higher than that of her and Shengxuan.

He said that he wanted to keep his two sisters, but in his heart he knew that his eldest sister was already engaged, and the one he wanted to keep the most was actually his second sister, Xiaolan.

"Your second sister is still young and has a long way to go before she gets married," Zhang added.

"I can't bear to leave my second sister, so when she gets married, I will follow her." Xiao Wen said.

"You are your sister's burden, aren't you ashamed?" Zhang laughed after hearing Xiaowen's words, "How can a sister marry and bring her brother with her?"

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Wen decided to settle for the next best thing and said, "Then we can move in next to my sister and be her neighbor."
