After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 71, Section 90: The White Moonlight Can Only Be Admired from Afar (4)

Cheng Qingsong went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with pots and pans, all containing leftover dishes from yesterday's banquet. The chefs had already heated them up, ready to use them for this morning's meals.

One of them saw Qingsong and said, "Qingsong, why isn't your wife here so early in the morning? Did she get tired yesterday?"

The villagers all like to joke, but some people are inconsiderate and don't know when to stop joking.

In formal settings, especially when elders are present, one would not make inappropriate jokes. Nowadays, many elders are present in the kitchen, so it would be inappropriate for someone to make jokes there.

An old man next to him said, "Alright, third brother, act like an elder. Is it appropriate to make jokes with a junior in this kind of situation?"

The man called "Third Brother" also realized that the joke wasn't funny, so he awkwardly shut up.

On such a joyous occasion, Cheng Qingsong couldn't bring himself to argue, especially since the other party was helping his family, so he pretended not to hear it.

Cheng Qingsong: "Uncle, which dish was freshly cooked today? I'd like to give some to Xiaoyi."

The man Cheng Qingsong called "uncle" was his mother's cousin. Because they were from the same village, he would help out whenever needed, rather than being treated as a guest and abandoned.

"The garlic eggplant and scrambled eggs, tofu puffs, and stir-fried pork offal on the stove are all fresh dishes cooked today."

Then, as if remembering something, he took a large bowl and ladled out a large bowl of stewed radish and pig's trotters from the iron pot in front of him.

They also deliberately avoided eating pig's trotters because there is a legend in the village that unmarried girls or boys cannot eat pig's trotters before marriage, otherwise it will be difficult for them to find a wife or get married. Newly married people also cannot eat them.

Everyone says they believe in science, but we still subconsciously avoid these things, preferring to believe it's true rather than not.

Cheng Qingsong thanked his uncle, picked up a large bowl in each hand, and left the kitchen.

Luo Wen, who was carrying a serving tray, saw him and quickly greeted him.

"What are you doing?" Seeing the large bowl in his hand, she went closer to examine it and saw that it contained two bowls of food. She joked, "None of us who helped have eaten yet, and you've already started eating?"

When Cheng Qingsong saw him about to put his hand on his shoulder, he quickly refused with "Eh, eh" sounds. When he saw that he didn't move, he said, "Hehe, thank you for your hard work today, brothers. It's my big day, and I still have to trouble you all. I will definitely do my best to help any of you get married in the future."

Seeing his beaming face, Luo Wen felt a little envious and jealous. They had grown up together, and he was already married, while they hadn't even held hands with their girlfriends yet!

"I'm only doing this for Xiaoyi, she's my niece, otherwise I wouldn't be so busy. You got this food for Xiaoyi, right? Go and give it to her." With that, she went to serve the food.

After seeing Luo Wen leave, Cheng Qingsong turned and left.

As soon as Luo Wengang entered the kitchen, he said, "There are still a few tables that haven't been served yet. The tables are full of children from the village."

(Zhaizi is the name the villagers of Banshan Village use to refer to their village. Everyone in the village is used to calling it Zhaizi, and only outside of Zhaizi is it called Banshan Village.)

One explanation was that the children from the village, and the men in the kitchen seemed to have flipped a switch, all starting to chatter away.

"Haha, if it were the kids in our village, they wouldn't be able to finish one round."

"Yes, whenever there's a feast in the village, the first round of food is always served to the children."

"Our village has the most children, about fifty or sixty in total, big and small."

"There aren't that many, are there? I don't think there are that many."

Some people didn't believe it, but said with certainty, "There must be. I counted them when the Zheng family's children got married last time, and there were definitely more than sixty."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just look at your Zhou family. How many children does your Zhou family have? Count them. Aren't there more than a dozen?"

Then he looked at Luo Wen and said, "And your Luo family, your brother has three children, and your cousin's family has eight grandchildren. That makes eleven in total."

"And then there's the Zhang family. The eldest son has four children, the second son has two... that makes fourteen in total. The Cheng family has thirteen, and the Jiang family has five brothers and three cousins. The Jiang family has over thirty children in total..."

"Holy crap, you don't realize it until you count it! Damn, there are definitely more than fifty or sixty, at least more than a hundred."

Even after Luo Wencai had carried the tray quite a distance, she could still hear the discussions coming from the kitchen.

As soon as he reached the children's table, he heard them making a fuss. "Uncle Luo, here, here, serve us our food first, we came first."

The table next to us protested, "Our table arrived before yours."

Luo Wen quietly walked to a quiet table and said, "Don't make a sound, everyone. More food is coming, it won't make a difference if you have more. What does it matter if it's a little earlier or later..."

After all the dishes were served, Luo Wen walked over to where the girls were and joked, "If you're free, you can go chat with Xiao Yi. She must be bored being alone in the room."

Zhou Yaomei: "I'll go in a bit. Yuexin, you guys go keep her company first."

Yuexin: "Then let's go."

……

Wen Yi had just finished eating in the room when Yue Xin and the others arrived.

Yuexin saw Wenyi in the new house, went to sit next to her, and exclaimed, "I never expected that you would be the first among us to get married."

"Yes, back then everyone said that if they were to marry, they wouldn't marry a man from the village. They all said that the people in our village were too good at working, and everyone was trying their best to work harder than the other. Nobody wanted to be compared to them in farm work. So everyone said they didn't want to be a wife from Banshan Village."

"Wen Yi got married, didn't she? Anyway, Cheng Qingsong's family doesn't own much land, and they all work outside, so it's not that hard for them."

The person speaking was Li Minghui, Cheng Qingsong's open lover. Everyone in the village knew that she liked Cheng Qingsong, and she had even gone to Cheng's mother to tell her that she liked her Qingsong.

She wanted Cheng's mother to go to her house to propose marriage to her parents, which made Cheng's mother avoid her whenever she saw her.

Seeing her sour look, Zheng Mi couldn't stand it: "So you're only interested in him because his family doesn't own much land, is that it?"

"I was attracted to him as a person. It's his loss that he didn't reciprocate my feelings. What do I lack compared to Wen Yi?"

Yuexin: "I can't compare in terms of looks, can I?"

Li Minghui scoffed: "Can good looks put food on the table? Men are so superficial, they only care about good looks. Wen Yi, tell me, are you as good at work as I am?"

Wen Yi: "...Not good at it, I don't like doing chores."

Li Minghui is only one year older than Wen Yi. She has a straightforward personality, speaks in a carefree manner, and is a naive girl.

She's a bit inconsiderate of others when she speaks or acts. She might make you angry right away, and before you even hold a grudge, she can unconsciously make you laugh again in the next second.

You can't even bring yourself to argue with her, so no one would dislike her for that.

"Look, she even admitted that she's not as hardworking as me, so Cheng Qingsong is really blind to have fallen for her?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing; Li Minghui was still as eloquent as ever.

Those outside, hearing the girls' laughter coming from inside, couldn't help but laugh along.
