Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

At noon, Shen Chulan planned to make clear-boiled mutton. If the fresh mutton was not eaten, it would become smelly, and no matter how much ingredients were used, the smell would not be suppressed.

Cut the mutton into pieces, put it into boiling water and rinse it, cut the radish into pieces, and chop the wild sugarcane that Yuan Laoer pulled from somewhere into pieces, add ginger to the water and start stewing.

Zhang Xin and A Li stood by, watching Shen Chulan stew mutton.

A few boys were playing with stones on the ground, biting sugarcane in their mouths.

I cooked a big pot and it took almost an hour to stew the mutton until it was soft and mushy.

As soon as the lid was opened, the unique aroma of mutton spread everywhere, stimulating everyone's nostrils.

The mutton soup is particularly sweet and refreshing, without any mutton smell.

The dipping sauce for braised lamb is simple. Chop the garlic into pieces, add some soy sauce and lard, and it will be delicious.

Shen Chulan felt a little regretful. It would have been nice to have some chive flowers, but since their conditions were limited, they had to use garlic as seasoning.

Mutton is a warm food and a good tonic for people with weak constitutions and nutritional deficiencies. Mutton is just right for Xiao Ci who just woke up from a coma.

Each person got a bowl of mutton, dipped it in the oil dish and took a bite, and was immediately satisfied. The mutton was fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and had no mutton smell at all.

After eating the mutton and drinking the soup, everyone was sweating and felt relaxed, as if the moisture in their bodies had been forced out.

"The Yuan family is very thoughtful. Ali, give fifty taels of silver to the Yuan family." Lu Jiu put down the bowl and looked at Ali who was still eating heartily.

In the past two days, the entire Lu family had a share of the food prepared by the Yuan family. They ate and drank for free, and Lu Jiu felt bad about it.

"Okay." Ali nodded. He also felt that it was not right to eat at Yuan's house all the time these past two days.

Who told the Lu family, whether servants or guards, to dislike Zhang Xin's food now? They would rather shamelessly ask the Yuan family for a bowl of food.

These people were servants and guards of the Lu family, so Lu Jiu naturally had to pay for them.

Besides, the Yuan family helped them kill the black-clad men who were chasing them all the way at the beginning, and also gave the young master an ancestral life-saving elixir. It is reasonable for the Lu family to make their own statement and not eat the Yuan family's food as a matter of course.

Ali took the fifty taels of silver and went over, but the Yuan family naturally refused to accept it. After a lot of arguments between the two families, Ali finally put the fifty taels of silver into Yaoyao's arms, which was held by Old Lady Liu, and ran away without looking back.

Yaoyao blinked her eyes, excited. She had money again. Finally, Old Lady Liu pretended to take the fifty taels of silver from Yaoyao's arms, and the matter was resolved.

Of course, the fifty taels of silver fell into Yaoyao's space.

The carriage set out again and traveled smoothly for a week before finally entering the southern territory.

We came to a pear blossom village called Pingcheng. The weather here was good, there was plenty of rain, and there were plenty of supplies in the mountains, so we didn't have to worry about going hungry.

Today is also a happy day for the Yuan family, because their baby is one month old!

After a week, Yaoyao's little face became rounder, with two loose buns on her head and a brand new red coat and skirt on her body, looking like a little fairy.

During this week, the Yuan family consciously avoided hanging around in front of the Lu family. When it was time to cook, they just cooked honestly and let Ali, who was always circling around the pot, deliver the food to them.

Especially Old Lady Liu, she didn't dare to hold Yaoyao and walk around in front of Lu Jiu and the others. What if someone else was happy and stuffed something into Yaoyao's arms?

After this week, Zhang Xin had to face the fact that some people are just skillful with their hands and can make delicious food with simple seasonings. How can he learn from this?

Every step was exactly the same as Shen Chulan's, but the result was a little worse.

Ever since the incident with Zhang Tiezhu, the Yuan family completely ignored the third daughter-in-law.

After the incident with Zhang Tiezhu, the third brother's wife calmed down for a while and tried to win back Yuan Laosan's heart in various ways every day.

After all, if the Yuan family divorced her out of frustration, wouldn't she be completely wiped out? She spent the entire night thinking about it before coming up with a plan. If she wanted the Yuan family to accept her back, she would have to start with Yuan Lao San again.

Before the two of them got married, the third brother's wife relied on her shyness to convince Yuan the third brother to marry her.

The food along the way was very good, and the Yuan family members looked very different. They went from being pale and thin to having rosy complexions, looking energetic, their skin became whiter, and their physical fitness became better and better. They didn't look like disaster victims at all.

This is all thanks to Yaoyao who adds spiritual spring water to the water day and night.

Considering that they don’t have a house in the village yet, the Yuan family plans to go to the town first to buy various ingredients for their baby’s full moon celebration, and make some snacks on an open space to cope with the situation.

I will go back to the village tomorrow to see the village chief to see if I can move in.

After hearing the news, Lu Jiu brought Xiao Ci and Nanny Nan to the Yuan family.

All three of them were holding gift boxes wrapped in red paper.

The Yuan family, who had always been digging in the soil for food, were flattered.

Xiao Ci's health has completely recovered. During this period, he and Nanny Nan would go to the Yuan family to play with Yaoyao whenever they had time.

"Auntie, please don't despise us three for being so shameless as to come and get involved in Yaoyao's full moon banquet." Lu Jiu had a warm smile on his face.

Old Lady Liu waved her hands quickly, "No, no, even if you didn't come, I was going to ask the second son to call you over for the full moon banquet."

"Auntie, this is the full-moon gift I gave to Yaoyao." Nanny Nan handed the gift box to Old Lady Liu.

Old Lady Liu was afraid that Nanny would bring out the silver necklace like she did last time, so she quickly waved her hand: "Oh, you guys can just come. Why bring anything? It's too formal, isn't it?"

Ordinary people would bring some valuables from home when they came to drink, let alone Lu Jiu and his friends who came from wealthy families. They often attached the most importance to these etiquettes.

"Auntie, please accept this. This is a small token of our appreciation. These are just children's toys, not valuables."

Lu Jiu saw the concern in Old Lady Liu's eyes and explained.

Old Lady Liu's brow twitched. "Didn't you say the things you gave me last time weren't valuable? The silver necklace and the safety lock were all made of silver, and there was also a jade pendant of excellent quality and high water quality."

If you say it’s not something valuable, I won’t believe you.

Old Mrs. Liu didn't dare to accept it, but Yaoyao did. When she saw Xiao Ci and the others, she waved excitedly, babbling with her pink gums showing, and she was almost reaching out to take it.

There was no other way. If she didn't accept it, it would seem like she was being pretentious. Old Lady Liu asked Shen Chulan to accept it and put it in the carriage.

"Yaoyao, have you missed me these days?" Nanny Nan hugged Yaoyao tightly.

Yaoyao worked hard to smear Nan Ma's face with saliva.

"Ahhhhh~"

I want a beautiful sister~

Xiao Ci also reached out to hug Yaoyao, which made Guo Ping and the other boys feel jealous. Why? They have never hugged their sister yet!

Why do you want to hug their sister over them? The sister is their sister, not yours.

But thinking that they were able to reach the south smoothly thanks to the Lu family, the boys endured it again and again, thinking that after Xiao Ci had settled down at home, he would not let him hug them again.
