Soon it was June 20th.

Cheng Yue and the others got up early, especially Chen Lin and his two siblings. They couldn't stop laughing at the thought of moving into the new house soon. They were very excited when they got up early in the morning.

The family was packing up their things when they heard some chattering outside the door, it sounded very lively.

The head of the village and Feng were walking in the front, followed by a group of people. Except for a few families with bad relations, all the other families came as a whole.

Cheng Yue went out to greet them, "Why are you all here so early?"

When they were moving to a new house, they informed the villagers in advance so they didn't need to trouble everyone as there wasn't much stuff and the main thing was cooking.

With so many people in the village, preparing the meals would take a whole morning, so all the women in the village would come to help.

The head of the village smiled and said, "Today is your big day, and everyone is happy. Anyway, we can't sit still at home, so we just come up to help you move your things!"

"Really? I have to help with the cooking later anyway, so it doesn't matter if I come in the morning or in the evening!"

Cheng Yue was grateful in her heart, so she didn't refuse and just said, "Thank you all! Everyone, eat more at noon!"

Zhang Dashan smiled cheerfully, "Okay! Let's get to work! Brother Chen An, let us help you move the things. You can lead us wherever we move to!"

Feng smiled and waved, "Let the boys do the work. All of us old ladies and young wives can help pick the vegetables!"

As they spoke, a large group of people started to work. More people meant faster work, and each person carried one thing, and the old house was emptied.

Seeing that everything was packed up and everyone was ready to move to the new home, the village head hurriedly shouted, "Good luck with the move! I wish you all the best in your new home!"

He then instructed Cheng Yue and Chen An, "Quick, you two carry the rice, flour, pots and bowls and go in front, Xiao Lin and the other two carry the chickens and ducks and go behind, we all follow!"

This is the custom of housewarming, where the host walks in front, holding food and livestock, symbolizing a good harvest and a prosperous livestock.

Cheng Yue, Chen An and others were crowded forward, and after everything was put in place, everyone started to give gifts, saying auspicious words non-stop.

"I won't say anything, I just wish you all the best!"

"Then I wish you to make more and more money! Hehe!"

"I wish you a happy life in your house!"

"We are the ones who suffered from not having enough education. We can't say anything. The head of the village said it well!"

Cheng Yue smiled at Chen An and said, "Thank you everyone! We love to hear whatever you say!"

Although the words are simple, the meaning is so good! She just wants to make more money and have everything go smoothly!

Moreover, when they looked at the gift money, they saw that everyone gave it in handfuls, at least twenty or so cents each. They were very honest, which really made Chen An think he was right.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Aunt Li blinked her eyes and said, "Just listen to what you like, I don't even think I said it well!

By the way, Cheng Yue girl, can you show us around the new house?"

Just now when they came in, they saw the ground was so clean and made of shiny stone slabs that they almost didn't dare to step on it, for fear that their soles would get dirty with dirt and stain the new house!

Moreover, they had to take many twists and turns to get in, and they couldn't tell where was where. If Chen An and Cheng Yue hadn't led them, they would have been lost!

I have lived for so long, but I have never seen such a big and magnificent house! Even the gate is so thick that it can collapse their house!

Visiting a new house is a regular part of moving into a new house, so Cheng Yue would of course agree, "Okay!"

After saying that, he led everyone to the gate and prepared to introduce everything slowly as they walked in.

As soon as the group walked out of the door, they saw Cheng's father, Mrs. Wu and the others had arrived, and the second uncle, third uncle, three uncles and an aunt were following behind.

"My daughter, my son-in-law, good luck in getting married! May everything go well for you!"

"Little sister! Brother-in-law! Move to a new house, and your family will prosper!"

"Girl Yue! My nephew's husband! Congratulations! New home, new atmosphere!"

They had specially sought advice from Mr. Cheng on this, otherwise they wouldn't be able to say anything nice, and wouldn't that make people laugh at their daughter?

Chen An quickly stepped forward to call for help, and the three siblings Chen Lin, Chen Tong and Chen Ning also followed suit.

Cheng Yue said happily: "Dad and Mom! Brother and sister-in-law! Second uncle, third uncle, uncle and aunt! Why are you all here together!"

"Well, since we're all coming anyway, why not come together? Girl, this is the gift money, take it!"

Cheng Yue took a look and saw a small piece of silver in his hand, probably about one or two taels!

"Mom and Dad, this is too much. What are you doing?"

"Moving is a big happy event. We deserve whatever our parents give us. We still think it's not enough!"

If they had money, ten taels would be nothing!

Before Cheng Yue could say anything, Cheng Yang and Liu also stepped forward and grinned, “Little sister, there are still ours!”

They didn't want to give more than their parents gave them, so they only prepared 800 coins.

Next came Second Uncle Cheng and Third Uncle Cheng, as well as my uncles and aunts, who each gave 500 coins.

If Cheng Yue hadn't asked them to go along to collect herbs, they wouldn't have made any money at all. Now that her niece has moved into a new home, the money they give her is not much.

Cheng Yue was a little surprised. This was not a small amount of money, but the money collected from the housewarming party could not be returned. She had to wait until some festival to visit them and return it.

"Thank you, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, uncles and aunts! By the way, why didn't my cousins ​​come?"

There was no need to ask the second and third aunts, it was definitely the second and third uncles who didn't allow them to come, probably because they were afraid of saying something wrong.

Normally, even if Cheng's father and his family had something going on, their second and third uncles would not let them get close, let alone the big day of her moving.

The uncle raised his hand and said, "Why are they joining in the fun? They might as well stay at home and hunt for herbs!"

After all, we are here to eat, so why should we all come over? The strong boys at home have big appetites, so we can't let them all come, that would be embarrassing!

Cheng Yue expressed helplessness, "Then I'll come back again when I have the chance!"

Then I saw Cheng Jun and Cheng Feng were not here either. Cheng Jun was in the academy and it was difficult to delay him. He probably didn't send the letter. "Brother, why didn't Xiao Feng come? Did you leave him alone at home?"

Cheng Yang scratched his forehead, "We have to leave someone at home, where are they all going?"

Well! This reason is not bad, but Cheng Feng is a little pitiful.

"Then bring some food for Xiaofeng when we get back!"

"Okay!" Cheng Yang smiled innocently.

Mrs. Wu took Cheng Yue's hand and urged her excitedly, "My daughter, let's not stand here anymore. Show us the new house!"

Liu nodded repeatedly, then looked at the gate with a look of amazement, "Yes! This gate looks really grand! I've only seen it in town, my little sister is really amazing, she has to take us to see more!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "That's great, let's go visit together. I was just about to show you all!"

After saying that, he looked towards the intersection again. Didn't Taoist Xuan Huai say he was coming? Why was there no sign of him?

Forget it, everyone is waiting. I’ll show you the house first. I have to cook later.

The master is so elusive, maybe he just wants to have a meal and doesn't want to join in the fun.
