Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Chapter 448 Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet

Xiao Lan didn't read the post, she just put it away. Then she said, "I'll show it to Xiao Wen when he comes back." Then Xiao Lan said this.

Afterwards, Zhang and Xiao Lan asked about Shen Liu's well-being and then left the living room, leaving Sheng Xuan and Shen Ada alone talking there.

The mother and daughter came to the backyard and began to arrange dinner, because Shen Ada would definitely stay here for dinner. Then Xiao Lan called the manager over and asked Shen Ada how many people he brought this time, and then began to arrange a banquet to entertain them.

After arranging all these, the mother and daughter began to discuss what to bring back for Shen Liu. Of course, there was also the thank-you money and gifts for Shen A'da, and naturally everyone who came with Shen A'da would also receive a red envelope.

After Xiao Lan helped Zhang to arrange everything, she returned to her room. She pondered for a while, then took out Shen Liu's note, cut it open with scissors, and took out a letter from it.

Shen Liu's letter paper was different from the scented one Xiao Lan usually used. Shen Liu's letter paper had no scent of powder at all, and the paper was delicate and white, and it also exuded the scent of sandalwood.

Xiao Lan was familiar with the handwriting on the letter paper. It was written by Shen Liu himself. The letter was as clear and concise as Shen Liu's personality. He briefly talked about his current situation and said that he would return to the city in September and they could meet there. Xiao Lan finished reading the letter, then sat there in a daze, and then put the letter into the box and put it away.

Xiao Lan's heart was in turmoil. She probably knew what Shen Liu meant, but this was definitely not the life she had imagined. She was eighteen years old this year, and if it weren't for Mr. Sheng's funeral, her marriage would have been put on the agenda, and she had to make plans for herself.

In the evening, Shen Ada had dinner at Sheng's house and left the next day. He was going straight to the border to report to Shen Liu.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Xiaolan's family had lunch with the Zhang family, but it was not a big celebration. However, in the evening, Xiaolan's family still invited people to the fish pond to enjoy the moon.

Today was a cloudless day, a good day for moon watching. Xiaolan's family set up several tables for banquets in the pavilion, and also invited Sheng Hao's family and Sheng Yugui's family. Everyone lived in the same village, and they were all real relatives. They supported each other in any matter. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of the festival today for everyone to get together and have a good time.

The banquet tonight was very simple. In addition to the various mooncakes, there were steamed crabs. These crabs were raised in Xiaolan's own fish pond. These were big and fat. Xiaolan specifically asked the pond manager to keep some good-looking and big crabs for her family. Crabs are cold, so wine is a must. A pot of rice wine was warmed on the grill next to it, just to drink a little while eating crabs.

Xiao Lan took a bite of crab roe, then took a sip of wine, and then said with a smile, "Crabs go well with wine. The more you drink, the more you get drunk."

"Xiao Lan, the crabs at home this year are bigger and fatter than in previous years. There must be a lot left at home, right?" Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she saw Xiao Yan's greedy look. Xiao Yan was pregnant and couldn't eat crabs. Seeing everyone eating happily, she was even more greedy. But Fu and Zhang were watching her, and her mother-in-law was watching not far away, so she really didn't dare to eat secretly.

"I left a lot. We'll eat it when Xiaowen comes back in two days." Although Xiaolan laughed at Xiaoyan in her heart, she didn't show any expression on her face and answered Xiaoyan's question seriously.

"Is that so? Then...will there be any left after that?" Xiaoyan said.

At this time, Xiao Lan finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "These crabs can only be eaten until September at most, Sister Xiaoyan, don't even think about it. By the time you can eat them, the crabs at home will definitely be gone. You'd better wait until next year, hahahaha..."

After talking for a long time, Xiaoyan, who had been thinking about having some crab flavor after giving birth, suddenly realized that Xiaolan was teasing her. If Xiaolan had told her earlier that there was nothing to eat, wouldn't it have been fine? Why did she have to whet her appetite and give her hope, and let her talk nonsense for so long.

"Xiao Lan, just wait. When my child is born, I won't let him call you aunt." Xiaoyan said.

"That's not up to you. I am his aunt. Why doesn't he call me aunt? When the time comes, I will treat him well and I guarantee he will follow me around every day." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Sheng Yugui's family, the Zhang family and the Zhang family could not help laughing when they saw Xiaolan bickering with Xiaoyan.

"Xiaoyan is just like that. She's about to become a mother, but she still has the mentality of a child." Fu said.

"He's still young. We were almost like this when we were young. I like this child's temperament. No matter what time it is, he never loses face, is not petty, and is reasonable." Fu said.

It is obvious that Sheng Yugui's family is quite satisfied with Xiaoyan as their daughter-in-law.

After eating a crab and drinking two glasses of wine, Xiaolan and Xiaoyan shared mooncakes and grapes. The men at the other table were drinking happily, but the women here were also not ambiguous, and they were all chatting enthusiastically.

"Sister Xiaoyan, why don't we not stay here and go back to the house and sit for a while?" Xiaolan suggested.

Xiaoyan felt tired after sitting for a long time and wanted to go back to the house. Xiaoye saw that Xiaolan and Xiaoyan were going back to the house, so she stood up as well. The sisters returned to the house with the help of several maids.

After returning to the house, Xiao Lan asked someone to bring fruits and snacks. The sisters no longer went out, but sat on the kang or leaned on the quilt and chatted.

"I saw my mother was still sewing those small clothes and socks. She made at least two sets. I also made two sets for you..." Xiao Lan said, "And my fourth aunt, she sewed with my mother that day, and it seems that she also prepared them for you..."

"Yes," Xiao Ye took over with a smile, "My mother also prepared two sets, and my father also said that he is waiting to make a bathtub for you, so that you can bathe the children and so on..."

"Hehe, that's great. I was just worrying about what basin to use for the third day bath." Xiaoyan said with a smile.

Then Xiao Ye talked about Sheng Kai again. Sheng Kai still lives in the old house. He is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. He is also thick-skinned and it seems that he no longer cares about anything.

Speaking of this, Xiaoyan asked, "When your family went to give the old lady a holiday gift this year, didn't she say anything?"
