Quick Transmigration: Leisure

"Big brother, who's here?"

"Nobody's here. You go in first, I'll be right there."

The one who spoke up was Xia Youqing.

Thus, the three Yu brothers outside could only watch helplessly as Xia Yisong ignored their presence.

The fist at his side clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

"Okay! Big brother, time to prepare dinner!"

"Ah."

Xia Yisong was unaware that he had awakened his own cabbage-guarding radar, making him highly sensitive to the dangerous behavior of suspicious individuals.

"Eh!"

"Qing'er, it's me, Brother Yusheng!!"

At the critical moment, the eldest son of the Yu family couldn't help but take action.

He withstood Xia Yisong's death stare and pretended to greet him casually.

Even though Xia Youqing is a real tough woman, she is also very respectful of the elderly and kind to the young.

They are polite and know how to behave appropriately when dealing with guests who are older than themselves.

Yu Sheng's loud voice made it impossible for the other party to fool her any longer.

Soon, two heads peeked out from behind Xia Yisong; it was the curious Xia Youtian and the gossipy Xia Youmi.

At this moment, Xia Youqing was tinkering with newly developed desserts in the new kitchen and asked her sisters to come out and serve them.

“Miya, Tianya, I brought Lao San here to thank your eldest sister. I heard it’s her birthday today.”

“Yes!” Xia Youtian was very excited; she was passionate about the birthdays of every family member.

Influenced by their mothers, they would also consciously give the highest level of treatment to the "King" of the month.

Therefore, she would be even more proud to share her joy when outsiders participated in the celebration.

These words actually helped the Yu family.

As Xia Youtian asked and answered questions, the door was slowly pushed open, and the Yu brothers dragged each other into the main room.

The table was laden with steaming hot dishes, presented in a unique style, emitting an irresistible and enticing aroma!

"Uncle, Aunt!"

"Oh! Why are you being so polite!"

Besides the riding whip that Yu Lingling prepared for Xia Youqing, the other two brothers also brought some gifts each.

In Tian Chaoyu's eyes, this was a signal that Madam Yu was lowering herself to make amends, since the grudge between them had been brewing for quite some time.

It has nothing to do with men.

It's an old feud between these two powerful families.

The Tian family is involved in feng shui and medicinal herbs.

Lady Yu's maternal family, the Duan family, primarily focused on the research of artifact making.

This includes, but is not limited to, hunting equipment, as well as compasses, rulers, and feng shui mirrors that are indispensable to their farming families.

The relationship, which should have been inseparable, began to tilt as one side grew stronger, leading to friction and distrust among several disloyal elders.

Thus, the two families became sworn enemies.

It has evolved into a matter of stance where people hurl insults even when there is no real animosity.

In this generation, with their respective family skills and talents at their peak, the worldly achievements of these two outstanding women have become the biggest arena for competition.

The son of Mr. Tian Chaoyu.

Duan had two sons in a row, but when she had her third child, Yu Lingling defeated Xia Youqing.

It is said that after learning that Tian Chaoyu had given birth to a daughter, Duan, who was in her postpartum confinement period, was unable to cope with the emotional distress and suffered from aftereffects.

I never got the chance to compete with someone who was fourth or fifth in the family again.

Outsiders both scoff at and cheer over these pointless competitions, because they are living worse lives.

All they can do is try to incite others to fight each other.

"Aunt Xia, it smells delicious!"

"Eat more if you like it. These are all made by our Qing girl."

"What?" Yu Lingling praised Tian Chaoyu's meal while eating.

But he didn't know that his favorite dishes were all new dishes that Xia Youqing had painstakingly developed.

He turned his amazed gaze to the protagonist of the day.

In the end, all I got was a huge eye roll.

I've come uninvited!

It's outrageous that she would dare to eat so much of the delicious food she painstakingly prepared!

Because of the Yu family's politeness, Tian Chaoyu felt honored and gave Yu Laosan a lot of medicinal herbs for recuperation.

In the spirit of reciprocity, the eldest and second eldest brothers of the Yu family, being honest men, noticed that the return gifts from the other party exceeded the total value of their own family's gifts.

He was acting with the same self-assured attitude as his mother, Madam Duan.

The three brothers chopped up the firewood that the eldest brother of the Xia family had just gathered.

And there was no time to stop it, it was like the wind.

The scraps of wood that were originally intended to be used to make some furniture were thrown into the fire pit.

Xia Yisong was furious!

He was saving it to make all sorts of new furniture for his parents!

What a pleasant surprise!

They could only be used as firewood. Moreover, Tian Chaoyu was unaware of the truth and was very grateful for the generous help of the Yu brothers. In order not to lose, he was determined to win.

With the eldest daughter's consent, the brothers were invited to join the celebration.

The food was so amazing that Yu Lingling could never forget it for many years afterward.

After those freeloaders left, the atmosphere at the Xia family home suddenly changed again.

The party continued.

They meticulously listed their feelings for Xia Youqing.

Xia Youmi prepared a small ornament made of pheasant feathers, which at first glance was similar in style to the horsewhip given by Yu Lingling.

but,

The two gifts were treated very differently.

Xia Youmi's jewelry was carefully put on by her eldest sister, and she would take it off before entering the kitchen and carefully place it in the wooden jewelry box given to her by her third brother.

The horsewhip that Yu Lingling gave him, though exquisite, was useless, and coupled with a strange unease in his heart, it could only hang on the wall to gather dust.

Xia Youtian learned to braid flower ropes from Hongya. With the help of Hongya and her second sister, she completed a set of exquisite bracelets and hair ties, and even embroidered a small sun on them to represent sunny days.

Xia Youmi was extremely envious.

Even though she had many patterns given to her by Hongya, she still pestered her sister to embroider a rice pattern for her.

He and Xia Youqing wore flamboyant outfits every day.

Sure enough, Tian Chaoyu quickly ordered another pair.

The young female lead, Xia Youtian, had her exceptional needlework skills awakened several years ahead of schedule.

When the older brother and father expressed their desire, they were turned away by the others.

If we give them gifts now, won't we have to think of new gifts for their birthdays in the future?

We can't let Xia Youtian get tired.

The gifts that the older brothers gave to their younger sister, Xia Youqing, were all unique.

The eldest brother caught several more plump pheasants, with robust bodies, firm and clean muscles, making them top-quality ingredients.

In addition, a variety of wild mushrooms and rare seasonings were also included as a gift.

Overjoyed, Xia Youqing immediately rushed to the kitchen.

It was the second brother who stopped them and pulled out a carefully sharpened kitchen knife.

The handle size and sharpness were tailor-made for Xia Youqing.

When Xia Youqing first started learning to cook, she could only use her parents' kitchen knives. Although she could use them, she never felt quite right with them.

When they wanted to buy it themselves, the family encountered some minor financial problems, which the second brother remembered.

Of course, the brothers had discussed it with each other, and the third brother prepared many small wooden items for his eldest sister, all of which were useful and not limited to the kitchen.

Many of them are box cabinets commonly used in boudoirs.

However, what surprised Xia Youqing the most was a set of wooden spatulas and carved chopsticks.

Good tools can make diners feel good, and Xia Youqing's lifelong pursuit is for her family to often eat the delicious food she makes.

This,

No problem at all.

On her birthday, she insisted on cooking herself and wouldn't let her parents interfere. Helpless, she had to bring out the gift they had prepared—a brand new large kitchen.

After they came up with plans to renovate their house...

The first thing to arrange was Xia Youqing's dream.
