After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

At this time, Li Qingqing, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang had already changed into the new clothes that Zhou An bought last time.

Zhou Yimo didn't buy new clothes for himself because ready-made clothes were more expensive, and he already had two long gowns, so there was no need to change them in a hurry.

He was tall and handsome, and today he was wearing a light-colored long gown that was about 70% new. His calm face revealed an expression of joy that was hard to conceal.

It really makes you feel refreshed when good things happen to you!

Zhou Yimo wanted to smile at everyone he met at this moment, but the steadiness he developed while studying in the academy forced him to try hard to remain calm.

His friend was not lying to him. The feeling of being a groom was really like stepping into the clouds.

This feeling now made him even more excited than when he went to the yamen to register his marriage.

He stole a glance at Li Qingqing in a somewhat dazed manner, and saw that she had taken Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang into Zhou's mother's room, and then came out alone, walking towards him.

Zhou Yimo saw that the clothes she wore today fit her perfectly. Although they were made of coarse cloth, the light color set off her complexion, making her look even more beautiful than usual.

At this moment, she stood there quietly, with a pretty face and graceful demeanor. Who would have thought that such a seemingly gentle woman could kill a villain with her bare hands.

Zhou Yimo coughed hard, instantly driving away the scene of his wife fighting with the bad guys that appeared in his mind.

He had been copying books desperately these days and had almost forgotten this thrilling scene completely. Why did he remember it again today?

Could it be... that I wasn't diligent enough in copying books?!

Zhou Yimo stepped forward, spoke briefly to Li Qingqing, then went out with four pounds of wild boar meat.

He went to invite the village chief to be the host.

Apart from Zhou's mother, there were no other elders in the Zhou family.

Zhou Yimo felt that even if the family had no money, even if it was just a simple ceremony, they should invite someone of some reputation to preside over it, so that it would appear more important.

Li Qingqing didn't care. She was neither a native of Dayuan Kingdom nor a native of Lihua Village, so naturally she had to do whatever he said.

In fact, every household in every village is very poor, and the villagers don’t care much about marriage. Most of them just bring the new bride home and serve a cup of tea to the parents-in-law.

In other words, the people in Lihua Village are a bit particular and insist on choosing a good day and inviting all the villagers to a buffet before they can be considered a proper wedding.

Of course, the villagers would not eat for free. They would happily pick a few vegetables from their own vegetable gardens or send a few eggs as gifts.

The weather is fine today, everything goes well, it's a good day.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were happily sitting in the room chatting with Zhou's mother.

Today is also their family reunion party, and Li Qingqing had already told them not to get their clothes dirty today.

Xier didn't have new clothes to wear, but she didn't get upset. She ran outside early in the morning to watch the butcher slaughtering pigs and the cook cutting vegetables. She felt everything was new and enjoyed watching it very much.

Li Qingqing ignored her, but privately reminded Xier again and again not to talk nonsense in front of outsiders.

Although the villains killed last time were dealt with cleanly and would not cause trouble to Li Qingqing, there was no guarantee that there would not be other accomplices looking for Xier.

If someone accidentally revealed that the Zhou family had taken in a little girl, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Until now, Li Qingqing still doesn't know why those evil people came to capture Xier.

Xier was probably too frightened by this incident and is now very alert. Whenever asked where her home is, she refuses to tell.

After listening to Li Qingqing's explanation, Xier nodded in agreement. In her heart, she was still very afraid that those people would come to capture her again, so she was forced to accept a "father".

She didn't know that she was actually at a disadvantage in terms of seniority, so she had to call the two little kids, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, her cousins.

But no one cared, or didn't think about it at all.

The butcher was very skillful and quickly cut up the wild boar meat. According to the agreed reward, he took two kilograms of wild boar meat and hurried home.

He wanted to tell his wife that the Zhou family had said today that the main dish for the banquet would be wild boar meat, and they would be guaranteed to eat as much as they wanted.

Although he made a living by slaughtering pigs, as the old saying goes, "The cicada has no clothes, and the bricklayer lives in a thatched house." If his family wanted to eat some meat, they could only get some scraps.

Now that we have such a good thing to eat a big piece of meat, we should call our wife over, right?

The cook and the kitchen helpers placed the tables, chairs and benches for dining neatly in the open space in front of the house, and began to work in the kitchen.

Some started washing rice and cooking, while others cleaned the wild boar meat and cut it into appropriate sizes for cooking with a kitchen knife.

They lamented that the Zhou family was so generous as to use a whole wild boar meat to entertain guests.

On weekdays, when I was helping out in the kitchen, what family's main dish at a banquet wasn't vegetables and radishes? If there were a few slices of meat floating in the dish bowl, they were considered to be living a relatively good life.

They worked harder and harder, trying to finish the work faster so that they could eat more meat.

Not long after, Matchmaker Zhou came with several village women, carrying baskets of spinach, cucumbers, eggplants and other common farm vegetables.

After handing the vegetables to the cook, they went to congratulate Zhou's mother with laughter. After a while, free blessings came out one after another.

He praised the two little ones in the house for being cute and well-behaved, and praised the new daughter-in-law for her beauty. After praising the sons of the Zhou family for their intelligence and study, he also praised Zhou's mother for the good fortune waiting for her in the future. He praised Zhou's mother so much that she smiled so happily that she hadn't done so for a long time.

There is actually a reason why these village women praised him so much.

The focus of conversation in Lihua Village these past two days has almost always been on the Zhou family.

As early as a few days ago, after Zhou the matchmaker announced it, everyone already knew that the Zhou family would hold both the wedding banquet and the recognition banquet today.

But the villagers were a little curious. Why did the Zhou family spend ten taels of silver to marry a wife and adopt two daughters?

You know, in the village, the bride price of three taels of silver for marrying a wife is the highest it can get.

Moreover, everyone's life was so tight that they would like to give their girls away to other families for free, but the Zhou family was stupid enough to spend five taels of silver to adopt two money-losing girls.

Is this because you have too much money to burn?

But this is the Zhou family's family affair. As the saying goes, "It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage." Even if they are very familiar with Zhou's mother, it is not easy for them to say unpleasant words.

Early this morning, Matchmaker Zhou came to borrow some vegetables from them, so she took this opportunity to come and see what was going on.

Now that they have come to Zhou's house, they have seen with their own eyes that the new daughter-in-law has beautiful features and graceful manners. She looks virtuous and dignified.

The house was kept clean, the firewood in the woodshed was well-stocked and the two twin girls looked exactly alike and were well-behaved and sensible.

He also thought that Zhou's mother was bedridden and needed someone to take care of her even when she was eating, and that Zhou's nephew was a scholar who could not carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, and was not even a scholar.

It is a good thing that the family has two or three more children to help with housework.

Now that there are three more people in the Zhou family, if they work hard, they should be able to make ends meet.
