I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

The Jia clan members cheered in unison and said loudly that they would rush to Jia's father's house as quickly as possible.

Father Jia smiled and patted the young clansman closest to him, then turned around and asked Bai Jingzhou with a smile, "Did you go up the mountain again today?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded and said, "I went there, but I came back soon."

What he said was vague, and Jia's father did not ask in detail. The group talked about all the experiences they had during this trip to sell goods, and went up the mountain and into the village in a lively manner.

Seeing that Father Jia and Gu Yongming returned safely, Grandmother Jia was both happy and angry. She glared at Father Jia and said, "You old man, you are so old and you still have no heart. Young people don't even think about reporting home, and you don't even know how to remind them!"

"It's my fault." Father Jia knew he was in the wrong. He touched his nose and decisively changed the subject. "Everyone has suffered a lot this time. Yongming and I plan to invite the children to our house for a good meal tonight. Old lady, you and Guizhi will have to work hard."

Jia Guizhi cooperated with her father to change the subject, "I saw Yongming bought some pork. Mom and I will clean the pork and stew it in advance."

Grandmother Jia glared at her daughter in disapproval, "All you do is help your father and smooth things over."

Jia Guizhi smiled and took Jia's mother's arm, "Mom, my father didn't do it on purpose, please forgive him this time."

Grandmother Jia couldn't help laughing, "Then let him do more work later. If he performs well, I won't settle accounts with him later."

Gu Wenxuan, who was no longer gasping for breath, raised the corners of her lips. The way Jia's father and Jia's mother got along with each other was so similar to the way her parents got along. She thought that perhaps the same saying "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door" also applies to men who are henpecked.

The group of seven said goodbye to the other Jia clan members at the village entrance, and returned to Jia's father and mother's home together, chatting and laughing.

As soon as they entered the yard, Jia Yuelan and Gu Wenxuan found their backpacks and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to look for edible cabbage, eggplant, sword beans, cowpeas, cucumbers, white radishes, green radishes, green onions, etc.

On the way back from the village entrance, Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi had already preliminarily decided on the menu for tonight's dinner party.

With the pork that Gu Yongming bought, the two planned to make a dish of pork belly stewed with eggplant, a dish of pork ribs stewed with sword beans, a dish of pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, and a dish of stir-fried pork offal with scallions and cowpeas.

In addition to these, the two also plan to prepare a dish of braised rabbit meat with white radish, a dish of scrambled eggs with day lily, a dish of cold-mixed purslane, and a dish of mixed vegetables with dipping sauce.

The white and green radishes were not very big at this time, so Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan picked and dug up a few that were growing on the edge, then pulled out some densely grown cabbages and green onions, and picked a few eggplants, cucumbers, some beans and cowpeas that were growing well.

The two took the vegetables back to the front yard. Jia's father, Gu Yongming and Bai Jingzhou all came over to help pick and wash the vegetables. Seeing that Bai Jingzhou worked efficiently and always glanced at his granddaughter from time to time, Jia's father immediately felt more satisfied with Bai Jingzhou, his granddaughter's son-in-law.

What he didn't know was that this was just a new body, and Gu Wenxuan needed to conform to the original character as much as possible, otherwise she would actually be the one sitting there with her hands in her fold, waiting for a ready-made meal.

Unlike Bai Jingzhou, he has been a considerate child since he was young. He has always helped his parents and Gu Wenxuan's parents with housework.

The seven of them worked together and the ingredients for dinner were quickly prepared. Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi each had an iron pot and first cooked braised pig's trotters with soybeans and rabbit meat with white radish.

The Jia family had soaked soybeans for the braised pig's trotters. As Grandmother Jia put the beans, which had grown larger and softer, into the pot, she said to Jia Guizhi, "I was planning to use these soybeans to make fried crispy beans for the children, but now I can only use them to braise the pig's trotters."

Jia Guizhi smiled, "Just spoil them." Fried soybeans use a lot of oil, and only her mother would be willing to make this kind of snack for the children, even though her mother is usually very frugal with oil.

As the mother and daughter were talking, the Jia clan members could be heard laughing outside the courtyard. The people who had accompanied Jia's father and Gu Yongming out of the mountain came in one after another, carrying tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks.

When Jia's father and Gu Yongming saw this, they hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and talk. Bai Jingzhou timely brought over two large pots of brown sugar water and asked everyone to take bowls to drink.

No one was polite to them. Bai Jingzhou picked up a large copper kettle and poured water. Everyone put their bowls on the table with a smile, waiting for him to pour them a full bowl.

Father Jia watched with a smile as they talked to Bai Jingzhou. Seeing that he handled the situation with ease, the old man couldn't help but feel more satisfied with him.

Grandmother Jia, Jia Guizhi, Jia Yuelan and Gu Wenxuan came out to greet everyone, then went back to the kitchen to busy themselves.

Grandmother Jia always had a smile on her face. She actually liked the lively atmosphere. It was a pity that she had no luck with children. She only had Jia Guizhi in her life, and then Jia Guizhi married into Baijia Village.

Fortunately, she and Jia's father later had another child, Jia Yuelan, otherwise she would have spent many days feeling lonely and at a loss.

Accompanied by the sounds of laughter coming from the yard, delicious dishes came out of the pot one after another.

Bai Jingzhou helped bring the dishes to the table. Jia's father brought out half a jar of rice wine bought in town and, smiling, invited everyone to have a sip.

The main course was the mixed noodle pot stickers prepared by Lady Jia. The pot stickers were filled with shepherd's purse and eggs and had a golden skin. They were greasy and just like the delicious dishes that were served first, everyone was drooling over them before they even came out of the pot.

While eating, the Jia family members performed a crosstalk and praised Grandmother Jia's good cooking skills.

Having been praised all night, Jia's mother felt both amused and helpless. She handed the pot stickers that were left out to Gu Wenxuan, "Share these with your cousin."

The children had been busy all night, and Grandmother Jia couldn't bear to see them work on an empty stomach, so she reserved some of each dish for the two children.

As for Jia Guizhi and her, they were the chefs in charge of cooking. It was no problem for them to taste a few more bites of each dish and get half full.

In addition, Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan were not the kind of children who would be so cruel as to eat alone and let the elders at home watch them starve, so they would always force some food on Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi, so Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi did not go hungry.

After seeing off the Jia family members who had eaten and drunk their fill, Jia's father and Gu Yongming took out their haul - two silver ingots and two bags of mixed silver and copper coins.

Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi were stunned. After a while, Jia Guizhi murmured, "Ten, ten taels? How, how is this possible?"

Father Jia laughed, "Just those two silver ingots are ten taels, and there's a lot of loose change."
