Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even when she came to attend the funeral in his previous life, she did not say anything and only shed tears. As the younger generation, he and Sifu could not say anything at that time, so the relationship they had stayed the same.
Later on, Xue Dahua’s family moved to an even further place. He did not see Xue Dahua and the others again, so they never had the chance to reconcile.
In the end, the relationship between the two families did not ease up.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue was not surprised at all. She did not say anything more but nodded to show that she understood.
The second day of the New Year was the day to visit her parents. Liu Guixia had already broken up with her parents, so she didn’t have to go to her parents’ home. Therefore, she didn’t have to go back to her parents’ home. On the other hand, Xue Yifu drove the carriage and accompanied Li Hehua back to her parents’ home. Erfu also drove the carriage and accompanied Yu Hongyan back to her mother’s house.
Yu Hongyan even carried Xue Shi back to her mother’s house.
Logically, they could just walk there because Li Hehua and Yu Hong Yan’s parents were not too far away. However, since they had carriages to use they might as well use it.
Xue Yifu and Erfu were very happy to show their wealth to the in-laws.
Their family’s life now was different from before.
Xue Darong also accompanied Xue Caiyu back to her mother’s house. Xue Wen, Xue Dabao, Xue Xiaobao and the others also went with her. Xue Da was the only one left at home. Xue Dafu wasn’t going to see his father, but because his two younger sisters were also going back to their mother’s house today, he would be alone. He went to his father’s place with his wife, Liu Guixia, to help make lunch.
He even brought some vegetables over.
“Let’s go as well too.” Xue Sifu didn’t have a wife, so he didn’t need to accompany his wife back to her mother’s house. He brought the two children and was playing with the firecrackers that hadn’t been set off in the courtyard. However, when he saw his parents leave the house, he hurriedly called the two children to go with him.
Xue Dafu didn’t know how to cook. Liu Guixia might not be able to handle it alone so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also wanted to go and help. When they heard what Sifu said, they were the ones that offered to tag along and help around.
When they went, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped Liu Guixia rinse the
vegetables.
Liu Guixia was chopping meat and planning to make meatb.a.l.l.s. When the time came, they would serve that as a dish. Xue Sifu took the kitchen knife and started to sharpen it.
Liu Guixia was busy killing chickens.
Xue Dafu was afraid that there wasn’t enough water in the vat, so he brought out a bucket. This wasn’t his house. There was no well in the courtyard, but there was a well not far away from the courtyard. He went there to fetch water.
Xue Da was also unwilling to sit down. He stood in the kitchen with his walking stick and watched them busy while talking to them. Xue Da was very happy.
The kitchen was so small that everyone had to shuffle around.
Not long after, Xue Dagui and Xue Gouzi also arrived.
Xue Dagui didn’t have a wife, so he didn’t have to accompany her back to her mother’s house. He was supposed to spend the New Year with Jiang Yue and the others. The New Year hadn’t even ended, so they chose to eat together. Xue Dagui wasn’t a hardworking person and was very lazy when it came to cooking. However, now that his father was here, Xue Dagui would help his father move around and he even made him a hot cup of tea. Then, he helped his son pluck the chicken feathers.
The feathers of the freshly killed chicken had to be cleaned before it could be stewed..
