I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Chapter 41 Everyone is Gathered and Dinner Starts

As soon as Xu Cong entered the room, she bolted the door and entered the space. She brought in her new clothes. There was a full-length mirror in the space, so she could take a good look at herself in the new clothes. Except for the time when she first came in and knew there was a space, she looked in the full-length mirror to see how she looked. Xu Cong never looked in the full-length mirror again. Although it was only a month, the girl had grown a lot taller, her originally shriveled figure had become fleshy, her sunken cheeks had swelled up, and had become whiter. The original owner's foundation was not bad. Now looking in the mirror, she was already a very good-looking girl.

Xu Congyi washed and dressed in the space, braided her hair, changed into new clothes, and applied some light-colored lip gloss to make her skin look whiter and tenderer. When she came out of the house, most of the villagers had already arrived and were sitting on the table and chairs set up by Shen Xiao, chatting with the Xu family.

When Xu Congyi came out, everyone was really shocked. It was not the villagers' fault. After all, Xu Congyi was stupid before, and the clothes she had just changed became dirty soon after. In addition, she was always running around outside, so her hair was messy. Later, her illness became more and more serious, and she could not leave the house. Therefore, except for the villagers who came to help with the fake Taoist priest last time, the other villagers' impression of Xu Congyi was still the sloppy, short and thin little girl in the past. Now seeing such a white skin, a face like a jade sculpture, cute and beautiful, and neatly dressed little girl standing in front of them, everyone was shocked and it took a while for them to react.

"Brother Xu, is this your home?" A villager uncle pulled the hunter Xu and asked.

"Hahahaha", Hunter Xu was also amused by the villager's reaction, but he could understand it. Sometimes when he saw his daughter, he couldn't react that this beautiful girl was actually his daughter, especially now that she had dressed up and put on new clothes.

However, in the heart of Xu the Hunter, his daughter will always be the little girl who loved to run behind him when she was a child. At that time, Xu Congyi always liked to shuttle between the mountains and forests, jumping like a little rabbit. She would follow behind Xu the Hunter, imitating him, shooting hares and pheasants with a homemade bow and arrow. Every time she successfully hit the target, she would cheer excitedly. If Xu Congyi had not accidentally fallen into the water when he was six years old, such happy days would have lasted for several years.

But now it's good too. Seeing his precious daughter recover and become more graceful, Hunter Xu is very pleased. Hunter Xu stood up and asked Xu Congyi to stand beside him, "Fellow villagers, this is my daughter Xu Congyi. She has been ill for so many years. We, the Xu family, thank you for your care. Now that my daughter has recovered, I always think of your love for her. I specially asked us to treat you to a meal and thank you!"

Xu Cong stood beside Xu Liehu with a calm and generous manner, "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, I have recovered now, but I remember all your love and care for me in my heart. I invite you all to dinner today to express my gratitude to you all. There is enough noodles today, everyone can eat as much as you want!"

As soon as Xu Congyi finished speaking, a sharp-eyed villager saw the noodles that were cut and ready to be put into the pot and exclaimed in surprise.

"White noodles? You're treating us to white noodles today! That's too expensive!"

"Yes, uncle." Xu Congyi didn't know how to address this villager. Seeing that he was not very old, he estimated that he was younger than his father, so he could only vaguely call him uncle. Everyone started talking at once, saying that the white noodles were too expensive. Old man Xu just smiled and said that it was all to thank everyone, and there was no such thing as a waste. The atmosphere was immediately set off. When Old Man Xu saw that everyone had arrived, he waved his hand and

"Down with noodles!"

The water had just been boiled. The three aunts skillfully sprinkled the noodles evenly into the boiling water. Xu the hunter and Shen Xiao brought out the cooked noodle soup from the house and were responsible for serving the noodles. Old man Xu took the two brothers Xu Congwen and Xu Congan to scoop out the noodles. As there were not enough bowls and chopsticks, they had informed each household in advance when inviting them to bring their own bowls and chopsticks, and it would be better to bring a large bowl, which would be more convenient for eating noodles. Therefore, everyone had to line up one by one when serving the noodles. In order not to disturb everyone who was working, Xu Congyi went to the kitchen and brought out the fried pig offal. There was not a lot of pig offal and she felt that not everyone would like to eat it, so she planned to put it next to the noodle soup pot later, and whoever wanted to eat it could scoop a spoonful to try it.

There was a bucket next to the noodles, which was filled with cool well water that had just been drawn. People could choose to serve the noodles directly from the hot pot or rinse them with cold water. Several people worked together, and when Xu Congyi brought the pig offal out of the water, the noodles had been served. Everyone who was working also had a large bowl of noodles, with two-thirds of the raw noodles left uncooked. Xu Congyi cooked the portion for 200 people. Even if there were not so many people eating, there would definitely not be so much left over.

Xu Congyi stood up and walked around the group, then he understood. Although Li Dahua had said to bring big bowls when she went to each family yesterday to greet them, the big bowls everyone brought were only slightly bigger than ordinary rice bowls, not the big sea bowls Xu Congyi had imagined. It must be that they wanted to save some money for the Xu family.

Xu Cong immediately told Old Man Xu to ask her grandfather to tell everyone to serve more. After all, she was the younger generation, so it would be more powerful for her grandfather to say such words.

In fact, he had noticed it when he was picking up the noodles just now, and now his granddaughter told him so. While he was grateful to all the villagers in his heart, he was also happy for his granddaughter's attentiveness.

At this time, the villagers were still sitting in their seats without picking up their chopsticks, waiting for today's host to speak before starting to eat.

"Dear villagers," Old Man Xu said, "We prepared a lot of noodles today, hoping that everyone would come to my Xu family for a meal and eat their fill. Yesterday, my daughter-in-law asked everyone to bring large bowls, but my granddaughter just saw that the bowls everyone brought were the ones they used for porridge at home. I, Old Man Xu, know what you mean, but today, you don't have to be polite. After you finish one bowl, bring the second bowl, and after you finish the second bowl, bring the third bowl, until you are full. Make sure you are full!"

The villagers were also very moved and said they would go for more. Only then did Old Man Xu's serious expression relax. At this time, Xu Congyi quickly said that there was some fried pork offal nearby. Because there was not much, he would not serve it to everyone one by one. Those who wanted to try it could scoop it out themselves.
