After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"So, why didn't Shucai come today?"

At the table, someone wanted to change the subject.

Qin Gaofei waved his hand: "He has caught a cold, so let him rest at home. He did well on the exam, though, and said the questions were not difficult."

He was determined to talk about the exam today, so everyone could only support him and compliment him.

"Really? Then it looks like I should be able to pass the provincial exam!"

"Congratulations! You're really talented!"

Qin Gaofei was in a very good mood after hearing the compliments from the people at the table. This was what he came here for today!

The main table was right next to them, and Fang Tong heard it all clearly, but he ignored it because he still had important things to do!

"Mr. Zhou, today is the day for our new house. My daughter and our whole family brought two gifts."

Mr. Zhou was very pleasantly surprised, but also naturally surprised: "Hey, what do you need to send..."

Fang Tong stood up. Because the gifts he brought were in the way, he placed them in the corner, very close to the children's table, right behind Fang Yin.

Fang Yin saw his brother coming over and helped to move. He held the recliner and Fang Tong held a large box. Fang Nanzhi also hurriedly pushed his brother over.

The whole family came together to formally congratulate Mr. Zhou.

"Grandpa Zhou, this is the recliner I wanted to give you, but I don't know how to make it, so I drew it and my family helped make it. Congratulations on your new home!"

The little girl spoke sweetly and brought such sincere gifts. Mr. Zhou almost couldn't stop smiling and bent down to touch her head.

"Grandpa likes it very much. I've never really used a recliner before, so it's quite novel."

"Grandpa, do you want to sit down and watch?"

Zhou Zijing stood aside, listening to the little girl calling him "Grandpa" repeatedly, and then looking at his grandfather's expression, why did he feel that they were so close?

Mr. Zhou sat on the recliner and leaned back, and the chair began to rock slowly by itself. The material was sufficient and the rocking was not too fast, just right.

"Oh, that's great! It's winter now, so I'll put it in my room. When spring comes next year and the weather is fine, I'll put it under a tree and let it bask in the sun. I don't know how comfortable it will be."

This lounge chair is really nice and practical. He likes it very much.

Seeing that he liked it, Fang Nanzhi was happy.

The other villagers all leaned over to look. They did have long benches at home, but almost no one had proper chairs. Many families ate while squatting, or simply sat on the kang.

What kind of recliner is that? I've never seen one before.

Shi Junyan never expected that the little girl who liked playing marbles was actually willing to spend time and effort on others.

The food had not been served yet. A wooden box was placed on the table. Fang Tong opened it, revealing what was inside. It was a three-layer cake with the words "Happy New Year" written on it.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the second gift, a three-layer cake."

These three layers are different. The bottom layer is made up of several layers of cake, with a filling of dried fruits and cream in the middle. The middle layer uses a little honey for the filling. The top cake is also a filling, but the top layer is filled with delicious towel-rolled cake crust.

The cake was so big and beautiful that no one present had ever seen it before, and most of them had never even seen a cake.

"Oh my god, this is cake!"

"Is this really food? Why doesn't it look like food to me?"

"This is too big! How many people can eat it? Isn't cake a dessert? Why is it so big?"

When others saw this novel thing, they started discussing it in great detail.

Not to mention the villagers, even Grandpa Zhou and Shi Junyan knew that there were cakes for sale in the county, but they had never seen a three-layer cake.

"That's wonderful, wonderful! I heard some people buy large cakes specifically for birthdays and happy occasions. I never thought that at my age, I would also follow suit and actually be able to enjoy such a special cake on my happy occasion."

Mr. Zhou didn't hide his fondness at all. He turned to his grandson and said, "Zi Jing, take a knife and divide the cake. Give each table some."

Zhou Zijing also felt that both gifts were thoughtfully made. As a young man, he found it very novel. When he heard his grandfather's words, he immediately responded.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou liked it, Fang Tong felt the same as his daughter, happy that it was not a gift in vain!

The family stood together and talked to Mr. Zhou for a few words before leaving. Fang Nanzhi peeked out, wanting to find Shi Junyan to ask him when he was free and when they could make an appointment to play marbles next time.

But Shi Junyan also went to help Zhou Zijing divide the cake.

When the cake was distributed to the children's table, everyone stretched out their hands before the plates were even on the table. But Fang Yin was at the table, so he stood up and took the cake directly in his hand using his height.

It was useless for the group of children to get anxious. They were angry but dared not speak. The younger ones had tears in their eyes.

Fang Yin scratched his head: "Don't fight over it, I'll divide it!"

After he finished speaking, he began to share the cake with a spoon. However, the three-layer cake was still too little for everyone in the yard, and each child only got two or three bites in their bowl.

But the children didn’t care and ate the two bites of cake with great care, especially when they tasted a little bit at the beginning and found that it was really sweet and fragrant.

"Chunhua, this is for you."

Fang Nanzhi put her own in her bowl.

Chunhua ate both portions.

"Oh my god, I've never eaten anything so delicious before. So this is what delicious snacks are like!"

Fang Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Not all dim sum are this delicious. I've had some that weren't tasty."

Chunhua looked at the empty bowl, scraped the cream that had rubbed against the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, and licked it.

The children at this table were the happiest. They all shouted that the food was delicious, and it was very lively. The adults at other tables also smiled when they saw this.

The cakes on other tables were also divided among the people. Some people reached out to grab some, but not many. The scene was not too ugly, and there was no quarrel over fighting over food.

The village chief looked at this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be best if it could go on like this until the end. Don’t let the whole village get together to eat at someone else’s banquet and then lose face!

Then, the dishes finally started to be served. Butler Zhou came out from the back and arranged for someone to serve the dishes.

The village chief's heart quickly rose again.

As soon as the dishes were served, the whole village was stunned.

Roast chicken! Roast duck! Stewed fish! Even goose!

This is a feast with chicken, duck, fish and meat all served. No one in the village has ever seen such a feast in their lives!

Some people even feel that they have never seen so much meat since they were born, let alone eaten it.

Even at such an old age, he still swallows his saliva and doesn't even care whether it's embarrassing or not.

Especially since the famine, let alone eating meat, everyone is only half full. Now they don’t even have time to talk, they just start eating as soon as the food is served!

For a moment, the yard was filled with the sound of eating.

Fang Yin had the longest hands, so he quickly broke off a chicken leg and put it in Fang Nanzhi's bowl, then broke off a duck leg and gave it to Qin Yan, and finally broke off a goose leg for himself.

Fang Nanzhi took a bite: It smells so good!
