Seeing that the food wasn't ready yet, and everyone was busy tidying up the yard, Granny Liu, who was about to turn around and leave, froze on the spot after hearing Aunt Wu's words, letting out a few dry laughs.

"Hehe, it's nothing. My eldest grandson is getting married, so I'll definitely come and help out."

As she spoke, Granny Liu turned and glanced at Madam Qin, saying:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go help!"

Although Qin was somewhat reluctant, she thought of how much help the second branch of the family had given Su Tao when she got married, and how Su Banxia had also come to the house to deliver a message when Su Tao became pregnant. Qin felt that she owed the second branch a favor, so it was no problem for her to come and help out today.

Thinking this through, Qin didn't say anything more and went straight to the backyard to help Wang Guihua with her chores.

Without waiting for Granny Liu's instructions, Old Man Su went to the yard to help move things. Ever since the formal division of the family property, Old Man Su had always felt that he owed the second branch too much and always wanted to make up for it in other ways. Now that he could help the second branch with some things within his ability, it was a good thing.

Seeing that even the old man Su had started to go into the yard to help, Su Ye, as the son, naturally couldn't just stand there doing nothing anymore, so he reluctantly went in to help move things.

Seeing that everyone had gone to work, Granny Liu took Liu Qingsong's hand and prepared to sit down in the courtyard. Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly grabbed Su Qingsong's arm and laughed:

"Cousin, things are busy inside right now. Go and help us get some more firewood. We'll be starting a fire and cooking soon."

Su Qingsong had only come to freeload some meat, so he had no intention of helping with the work and simply stood there without moving.

Seeing that Su Qingsong was completely disobeying orders, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"Cousin, you're not just here to freeload, are you?"

As soon as Su Banxia said this, everyone turned to look at Su Qingsong. Although Su Qingsong was not old, he was old enough to understand things and naturally knew shame. Being stared at like that, his face turned red. He glared at Su Banxia and then turned around to gather firewood.

Granny Liu was displeased to see her beloved grandson trying to help with the chores, and glared at Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"Banxia, ​​what are you doing? Your brother is so young, what can he do? Why are you making such a fuss about him?"

Su Banxia smiled.

"Grandma, didn't you say that yourself? The Su family doesn't support idlers. My brother is already a grown man, and he eats more than a cow. Our family can't afford to let him eat like this. He'll be old enough to get married soon, so it's good to let him do more work and gain some experience. Otherwise, he won't be able to do anything when he gets married and will be looked down upon by his wife."

Granny Liu wanted to retort after hearing Su Banxia's words, but didn't know what to say, so she could only glare at Su Banxia resentfully and mutter:

"Anyway, whatever you say is right. I'm too old to argue with you, so I'll just stop talking, okay?"

After saying that, Granny Liu walked directly to the table and sat down.

Su Banxia couldn't stand Liu Pozi just sitting there doing nothing, so she spoke up:

"Grandma, you can't just sit here. Now that you're here, you're here to help us with important matters. You should hurry up and go to the backyard to check if the dough has risen yet. We're going to make pancakes tomorrow. Everyone in our village knows that your pancake-making skills are superb. If they knew that you made these pancakes, they would definitely want to eat an extra half a pancake."

Upon hearing Banxia's words, Granny Liu puffed out her chest.

"That's right, no one can compare to your grandma when it comes to making these kinds of pasta dishes."

Seeing that Granny Liu was only talking but hadn't moved an inch, Su Banxia quickly smiled and said:

"Grandma, guess who I saw on the street today?"

Granny Liu gave her a suspicious look.

Who can you see?

Su Banxia smiled.

“Of course it’s my fourth uncle. I told him that my brother is getting married tomorrow, and he said he couldn’t be left out of it. He said he would definitely come to oversee things tomorrow, and he even told me that he wanted to eat the pancakes you make, so you should make a lot for him and wait for him to come back tomorrow.”

Originally, Granny Liu was too lazy to move, but as soon as she heard that her youngest son wanted to eat the pancakes she made, she immediately perked up, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the backyard.

"I'll go check how the dough is rising. The dough for making pancakes should be neither too soft nor too hard; it can't be over-risen!"

Su Banxia watched Granny Liu's hurried figure and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, little sister, I haven't put up the 'double happiness' character in my room yet, and when are you going to put out the big red wedding quilt that Mom made for me?"

While helping Su Hanzhang move the ladder and hang the lanterns, Su Shiyan turned his head and asked Su Banxia in a loud voice.

"I'll put up the 'double happiness' character for you now. As for the big red wedding quilt, I'll put it on for you tomorrow when you go to pick up Sister Lianhua. There's no rush."

As she spoke, Su Banxia went inside to find the "double happiness" character placed in the main hall, and then took the paste to Su Shiyan's room to help with the decoration.

Su Banxia thought that Su Shiyan's house was usually very plain and had no decorations. She thought that she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to decorate his wedding room and bring him some ornaments. That way, the lotus flower would feel more comfortable living there.

So Su Banxia went upstairs to her room, got a vase, and then went to the backyard to pick some pretty wildflowers. She arranged them in the vase, and it looked very beautiful.

She also brought out a landscape painting that Lou Wangyue had given her when she came to her house for a housewarming party and hung it on the wall. She also arranged some beautiful jade ornaments and placed them in various corners of the room. As a result, the room was very pleasing to the eye.

Anyone unaware of the situation might mistakenly think they'd stumbled into the guest room of a wealthy family. Su Banxia was quite pleased with her attire, so she hurried out to pull Su Shiyan back into the room to see for herself.

"Brother, did you see that? I've put all the decent decorative items we have in your room. When Sister-in-law Lianhua comes tomorrow, she'll definitely be happy to see them."

Although Su Shiyan didn't understand the concept of decoration, he felt that his room looked much better after Su Banxia tidied it up. He had been worried that Lianhua would find his room too lonely after moving in, but now that concern was gone. So Su Shiyan smiled, scratched his head, and nodded at Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"Big sister, you're really good at tidying up the house. If only you had tidied it up like this earlier."

Su Banxia smiled.

“You used to be a rough, uncouth man. Even if I cleaned up for you, you wouldn’t know how to maintain it properly. Now that you’ve married Sister-in-law Lianhua, life will definitely be different. So I can’t let this house remain empty.”
