My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

The next morning, before daybreak, Li Yan's mother, her sisters-in-law, and her three daughters-in-law had already gotten out of bed, exhausted. They rubbed their eyes, yawned, and helped each other wash.

After washing, they were about to cook breakfast when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Li Yan's mother asked her two younger siblings to continue with their work, and she quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was Fang Xiaomei, followed by her eldest daughter-in-law. The two of them greeted Li Yanniang with a smile. Li Yanniang also responded with a smile, and then led them into the kitchen.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, the five people took on their tasks and started to get busy. Li Yanniang and Fang Furong were responsible for preparing breakfast, while Liu Jiali and Fang Xiaomei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, started to make the dough.

At noon today, the entire village will come to attend the house-warming banquet, with more than 900 people coming.

Even if each person only eats two steamed buns, more than a thousand steamed buns would have to be made, not to mention those adult men, who need at least four steamed buns to fill their stomachs for a meal!

After Lin Qingxue and her two daughters got up, before they had time to wash up, they were attracted by the bursts of noise coming from the front yard. The sound seemed to be full of joy and anticipation, which made them curious and wanted to know what was going on.

After quickly washing up, Lin Qingxue and her two sisters couldn't wait to walk to the front yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The yard was crowded with people, and a busy and orderly scene unfolded before our eyes. Some people were arranging tables and chairs, carefully placing each table and chair in the appropriate position to ensure that everyone could sit comfortably; others were arranging tableware, neatly arranging bowls, chopsticks, spoons, etc. for use.

What is even more striking is that all the villagers participated in the event. They either helped move things or assisted in setting up the venue. Everyone did what they could, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

Walking into the kitchen, it was even hotter and filled with smoke. Li Yanniang and others were busy preparing food. Various ingredients were rolling in the pot, emitting an enticing aroma.

Especially those freshly steamed buns, which exude a rich flour aroma and are mouth-watering.

In this lively atmosphere, everyone's face was filled with joy. They were looking forward to the upcoming lunch time and enjoying this rare reunion and the satisfaction brought by the delicious food.

Lin Qingxue was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, and her heart was filled with beautiful yearnings for future life. She didn't have big dreams, she just wanted to live a good life with her family, without having to worry about food and clothing.

As time passed, people from the village arrived one after another. They greeted each other with joyful smiles on their faces, and laughter echoed throughout the yard.

Today's house-warming banquet is not just a happy event for one person or one family, but a feast celebrated by the entire village.

Here, there are no so-called "guests". Everyone is a member of this big family and the host of this banquet.

At noon, the sun shone into the yard, warm and bright. With a loud shout, the house-warming party officially began.

Plates of steaming steamed buns were brought to the table, the aroma was tangy, and the buns had a light sweetness that made people salivate.

In addition to steamed buns, various delicious dishes were also served one after another. Each dish was delicious and appetizing.

Today is a special day. Looking at the delicious food served on the table, the villagers savored the food and felt this rare joy and reunion.

The first dish is bones stewed with radish and sauerkraut. The soup base of this dish is rich and delicious. The aroma of the bones and the sweet and sour taste of the radish and sauerkraut blend together, leaving a lingering aftertaste; the second dish is meat stewed with potatoes. The potatoes have absorbed the flavor of the gravy and melt in the mouth, while the meat is tender and juicy with an excellent taste; the third is braised fish pieces. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of the braised sauce is everywhere, which increases people's appetite; the fourth is chicken pieces with potatoes. The chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft and glutinous, and the combination is very delicious.

Following that are braised pork with dried vegetables, pig’s trotters stewed with potatoes, hot and sour pork offal, braised pork, boiled shredded radish, and stir-fried cabbage.

These dishes have their own characteristics and satisfy everyone's appetite. When the aunts who cooked came out, they felt very comfortable seeing everyone's support.

Lin Qingxue bought two whole pigs. Today's main dish was naturally pork. Various parts of the pig were carefully cooked into various delicious dishes to satisfy everyone's appetite.

The pig's head was fried and eaten last night and given to Village Chief Lin and several elders as a side dish for wine, making them feel the strong friendship.

While enjoying the delicious food, the villagers talked about interesting things in the village and their aspirations for the future.

The lively atmosphere in the yard continued to heat up, with laughter and conversations intertwined together, as if playing a warm country melody.

Lin Qingxue looked at the satisfied expressions of the villagers, her heart filled with joy. Looking at Old Man Lin who was moving among the crowd, she saw him communicating with the villagers from time to time, asking if anyone had any difficulties, whether the food was delicious, and so on.

The young children were running and playing in the yard, their laughter clear and pleasant, and they would take a bite of the steamed buns in their hands from time to time.

The meal was lively and lively. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they did not leave immediately. Some people helped to clean up the tables, chairs and tableware, moving quickly and orderly.

Most of the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks at the banquet were brought from everyone’s homes. Now that they have been used, they naturally have to be moved back home after being cleaned up. After all, they will be used again in the evening!

The women gathered together, talking about family matters, sharing cooking experiences and life tips, while the men sat together, discussing land reclamation after the New Year and plans for future life.

The sun still shone warmly in the yard, as if cheering for this feast. Lin Qingxue stood aside with her two daughters, looking at this harmonious scene, feeling filled with emotion.

She knew that this house-warming party was not only a feast of delicious food, but also a symbol of the villagers' unity and celebration.

They fled famine and settled down in the southern suburbs of the imperial city. Only those who have experienced it know the bitterness of it. They are very glad that they survived and escaped from the village, otherwise they would not be able to live the stable life they have today.

The bodies of refugees on the road and the bandits who robbed them witnessed the hardships they had gone through. Having escaped death several times, they cherished their current life even more.

In the days to come, she believes that with everyone's joint efforts, the village will get better and better, and life will be happier and more fulfilling.

This house-warming party will become a beautiful memory in everyone's heart and will remain forever in this land full of hope.
