Since the Wen family moved into their new home, villagers have been gathering at the door of the Wen family day and night, craning their necks to look inside and talking in groups of three or five. When they see Ye Xiuying, they all ask when they will invite everyone to live in the Wen residence.

Ye Xiuying originally planned to invite a few close friends and set up a table at most to make it lively. But she never expected that many people in Yueya Village who had received Wen Liang's kindness wanted to come and give her a warm home.

Firstly, they were indeed grateful to Wen Liang for their children's schooling. Secondly, the courtyard of Wen Qingcheng's house was so luxurious that several wealthy families in Yueya Village also wanted to renovate it according to the standards of the Wen family.

Those who used to work as helpers in the Wen family also want to come and live in the Wen family. They built the house, and now looking at such a beautiful courtyard, they feel a sense of accomplishment.

If we add the villagers, there will be too many people to even fit in the living room on the first floor of the new house. "Qingcheng, what do you think we should do? If we add the villagers, I roughly calculated that we will need at least ten tables, almost as many as the wedding banquet."

"We don't have that many tables. We may have to borrow some from other people's homes."

"It's easy to borrow a table, but how should we set up the place? I think we can put three tables on the first floor, with ten people sitting at each table. We can put two tables on the second floor, and there's a rooftop garden, so we can put five tables there. That's about it. If there are more people, we can add a few more stools."

Wen Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "We can sit apart like this, but there's no connection between them. I think it's better to put them all in the yard. Anyway, our yard is big enough to put ten tables, and there's also a backyard. This way everyone can see each other, and it's more lively when we're together."

Ye Xiuying was very happy to hear this. She had never thought that the Wen family would have such a grand ceremony. Just thinking about it made her feel so glorious.

"Let's prepare well for this housewarming party. Moving into a new house is a happy event, so let's have a great time and use the popularity to get rid of the bad luck." Ye Xiuying said.

Wen Qingcheng knew what Ye Xiuying meant by getting rid of the bad luck. She remembered that when their new house was just built, Wang Laowu tried to embarrass himself by testing her medical skills, but ended up falling to his death. Although he did not die in their new house, and the room he fell from was converted into a toilet, Ye Xiuying still felt that it was a bit unlucky.

"Okay, let's go to the county town to buy food and a few strings of firecrackers to get rid of the bad smell."

"No need for firecrackers. We still have one string for the New Year. We can just set off one string then. If we set off too many, it will scare the livestock at home and that will be bad."

Wen Qingcheng thought so too, but she would buy some red silk to hang at the door. She saw that many people who moved into new homes in the village hung red silk at their doors, which meant that the family would have a prosperous future.

"Mom, we also need to buy some red silk to hang on the door, buy vegetables and meat, and prepare souvenirs for the guests. If you add it up, we'll have to spend a whole day in the county town."

Ye Xiuying counted carefully on her fingers, mumbling to herself how much meat, rice, flour and eggs would be needed for the banquet.

"By the way, there should be fish on every table, which has a strong symbolic meaning. Let's order it from your third brother's house." Ye Xiuying said.

"Okay, let's use grass carp." Wen Qingcheng asked.

Ye Xiuying pondered for a moment, "Alas, your father always said when he was alive, I advise you not to eat carp in March, because there are thousands of fish eggs in its stomach. Now it is March again..."

Wen Qingcheng understood, "I understand. Dad means that the female carps are pregnant with eggs at this time. We should not kill them all and give them time to reproduce. Then I will ask my third brother to prepare male carps for us."

Ye Xiuying thought of Wen Liang and felt a little sad for a while, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued, "Qingcheng, please write it down. We have a lot of things to buy, so don't miss anything."

Wen Qingcheng took out a pen and paper from the room. Ye Xiuying dictated and she took notes. Including tea, wine, snacks, etc., the shopping list alone took up several pages.

Wen Qingcheng called Chuyi and Axuan again. After a period of getting along with each other, although Axuan paid to live here as a guest, he had been helping the Wen family share the housework. After a long time, Wen Qingcheng no longer treated him as an outsider.

Chuyi and Axuan entered the main hall, and Wen Qingcheng said, "Our Wenju Banquet will be held in three days. In addition to buying things, we have many other things to prepare in advance. Chuyi, your task is to chop firewood, the more the better; Axuan, you go to the new house to clean it, and Zicheng will also clean the new house after school. I will give you 50 coins a day, is that okay with you?"

When Ah Falcon heard that he was going to be given money, he quickly waved his hands. His son was working, so how could he ask for money? "Miss Wen, I will chop wood and clean the new house."

"Axuan, you are a guest and I have to ask you for help. How can I let you be so tired?" Ye Xiuying said a little embarrassedly.

Axuan said he was willing to do everything. Wen Qingcheng was also afraid that Chuyi would hurt himself in his confused state, so she put Chuyi, Axuan and Zicheng into a group, responsible for chopping wood, cleaning the yard and moving tables and chairs.

"Mom, we will work in groups of two to clean the house and find people to help. Borrow plates, tables and chairs." Wen Qingcheng said.

Ye Xiuying nodded in agreement. Wen Qingcheng continued, "Today we have to complete what we just said. Tomorrow morning we will go to the county town to purchase. Chuyi, my mother and I will be responsible for purchasing. The day after tomorrow we will start to ask people to help prepare the ingredients and set up the tables and chairs. I will be responsible for the layout and write the process for the Wenju Banquet the day after tomorrow. The night after tomorrow we will discuss the process of preparing the dishes for the next day in detail."

Ye Xiuying looked at her daughter approvingly and said happily, "Qingcheng, I feel much more at ease with you here. I used to have a headache when I thought about so many banquets and so many trivial matters. With you here, I suddenly found my backbone."

"Mom, I'm grown up now. I can help you with anything you need in the future. Chuyi, Zicheng and I will protect you. We will move into our new house and you can enjoy your life."

Ye Xiuying was so happy that her eyebrows were not visible. "Okay, okay, mom finally got her wish. I am so lucky to have you. This time I will let the people in the old house see that I, Ye Xiuying, left home with my children, not only did I not sleep on the streets, but I moved into a mansion in such a short time. They could never have dreamed of it."

Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Yes, we moved into a big house, which is decorated so luxuriously, and we have so many neighbors to live with us. It's so beautiful and lively, but it has nothing to do with the people in the old house. We just want them to be envious and jealous to death."

The more Ye Xiuying thought about it, the happier she felt. Her chest rose and fell, and her face became a little red with excitement. Wen Qingcheng said, "Let's hurry up and do it today. Does anyone still have any questions about their tasks?"

The three of them nodded to show that they understood. Chu Yi thought: How many surprises will this little girl bring me? The main family's affairs can be organized clearly. If she was born in a wealthy family, she would definitely be a good mistress.

Seeing that the three of them had understood their tasks, Wen Qingcheng announced that they would start preparing. "Okay, adjourn the meeting! Let's start preparing."
