Chapter 1087: Aunt is Better than Mother!

composed."Oh, I was being silly. The children all have important things to do; if they don't come back, that's alright. Perhaps they'll all be back for the New Year!"Jia Yin quickly said, “Grandma, yo...Over the past two years, an increasing number of skilled chefs have been cultivated at Xian Kele Lai. They even specialize in different types of cuisine, such as cold dishes and hot dishes, red banquet and white banquet. Although the kitchen is busy, it operates efficiently with everyone having their designated roles. 。Therefore, Jia Huan seldom went into the kitchen throughout the day; he only needed to control the overall situation. 。When Jiayin entered the courtyard from the back gate, she saw her brother wearing a clean set of blue clothes. He looked neat and tidy, which made her even happier. 。Jiahua pulled her younger sister into the house, overjoyed. She kept calling for the maids to bring tea and snacks. 。The siblings chatted for a bit, Jia Yin helped resolve a small problem, and then they went to the Earl's Mansion to meet their sister-in-law and returned together to Suijin Beach. 。 Grandma Lin hugged Yuanyuan and chatted with villagers at the village entrance, feeling the breeze, and waiting for her masters to return. 。Round Round truly lives up to his name, he's been round and plump since the day he was born. 。When it's this hot, I can't help but suffer more than other children. 。It's good that there aren't so many rules at home. I changed him into a sleeveless waistcoat and shorts early on, wearing as comfortably cool as possible. 。But this way, his arms and legs, as thin and flexible as lotus stems, came into view, smooth and fair, even more adorable. One couldn't help but want to pinch them if they saw them. 。Especially the elderly, what they like most are children. 。Such a chubby little doll, simply a celestial fairy descended from heaven!This old lady came over and gestured, wanting to sew a little jacket for YuanYuan. She measured her tiny feet, wanting to make shoes for YuanYuan. 。To such an extent that under the big trees, it was bustling with activity, laughter and joy everywhere. 。Wan'er and Jia Yin got off the car and saw this, they both smiled, quickly nodded to the villagers and greeted them with a few casual words. 。

Wǎn’er still wanted to take her son, but unfortunately, the son ran towards his aunt.

"Auntie hug, hug!" The milky voice of the little baby, who can resist 。Jia Yin immediately hugged her little nephew and kissed him deeply. 。"Aunt brought back some snacks, all the ones that Roundy likes." 。"How is Auntie" "Good!" Yuanyuan hugged Auntie's neck and kissed her several times. 。Jia Yin's heart melted instantly like a pool of honey. She happily hugged her nephew and walked towards the courtyard. 。This abandoned mother, Wan'er, couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This stinky boy, he's closer to his aunt than to me, his own mother!" 。Everyone burst into laughter. 。Grandma Lin used to take care of everything in the old house, but when spring arrived, she fell ill. Even with a renowned doctor treating her, she was bedridden for a month and only recently recovered, though still intermittently. 。Grandma He, this old sister, felt sorry for her, so she stayed at the old house and the county princess's mansion by herself. 。In recent days, Granny Lin has really recovered well. Even Dr. Zhang nodded in approval, so she slowly took over the management of the old house again. 。At this point, she smiled and replied, “The princess was rarely back from the palace before. The young master must be worried.” 。Now that the county princess is back, it's normal for the young master to be more attached to his aunt and play with her. 。

Ms. Eldest Young Mistress, you're busy too. The month is almost over, it's time to distribute food.

"That reminds Wan'er, she turned to see that everyone in the village was looking at her, so she quickly said, “Today I will settle the accounts book, and tomorrow I will open the warehouse” 。" There's no need to worry, Madam. Our families still have food at home, we don't lack for a few days." 。"That won't do, the day for paying wages is set and must be kept. Rules can't be broken." 。“Wan'er smiled and said, “Everyone, go home and sweep out your rice bins. Tomorrow we will distribute new grain. If anyone wants to exchange any, please report it in advance.” 。"

Okay, thanks for your hard work, young madam. "> 。The villagers all responded in agreement and stopped chatting, hurrying home to work. 。The village doesn't grow crops, they rely on harvesting food from the valley near Hot Spring Mountain. 。Once a month, every household would go to the granary to collect grain based on the number of people. They could choose between coarse grains or fine grains, rice, noodles, millet, and other types of grain. 。However, each family's situation is different. For example, for women who are postpartum, the village will give more millet. 。 If the elderly or children get sick, they can also receive more rations. 。Things have established procedures, and special circumstances can also be discussed. 。Over the years, the hundreds of people in the village have never caused any trouble because of this. 。On the contrary, because everyone ate from a common food supply, they became even more united and close. 。Of course, some people live better lives and like to eat. If they feel the fine grains distributed in the village are not enough, they can also buy some extra in the city. 。

After sending off the villagers, Wan'er walked towards the courtyard with Lin Mama. She casually said, "Mama Lin, thank you for taking care of everything at home. While we were in the city earlier, everyone was choosing jewelry. I asked He Mama to bring back a silver hairpin for you as well. Mama Lin, remember to pick it up from He Mama later."

" Mistress, this old slave is so incompetent, he dare not accept your gift. " 。Grandma Lin was a little frightened and guilty. 。She's been sick for so long, if she were at someone else's house, they would have kicked her out to fend for herself a while ago. 。At her own home, not only was she treated for her illness but she was even given jewelry as a reward! "Grandma, please take it. Don't be so humble." 。"Wǎn'er patted her on the back and instructed, 'In a few days, I have to go back to the city.'" 。As the princess is young, you and Granny He will inevitably have to put in a lot of hard work. 。"Rest assured, Madam. This old servant will certainly take good care of the old house and serve the young lady well." 。“

Grandma Lin bent down and bowed respectfully...

The next morning, as soon as they finished their meal, Lao Hei led the caravan back to Suijin Beach in a cloud of dust.

" 。Brother Li also missed home. Although he had never stopped writing letters to his family, and was very familiar with the situation in Xindu, nothing could replace seeing it with his own eyes. 。This time the convoy gave him a lot of food and necessities, he could think of it, there was nothing he didn't receive. 。He just knew, it must have been his little sister who had personally arranged it. 。As expected, after reading the letter, his suspicions were confirmed. 。 Knowing that his sister wouldn't have to enter the palace anymore, he felt much more at ease. He then searched all over the city for good things, along with what he had saved up before, and sent them all back together. 。To such an extent that when Lao Hei and his group left, they loaded several vehicles. When they returned, the load hadn't decreased at all...Everyone in the family missed Li Ge'er. Hearing that the convoy was returning, almost everyone came back in the evening to join in the festivities. 。Not to mention the families who were content with their businesses within the city walls, even Li Lao San and Mao Ge had rushed back from Luo'an. Of course, they would have to rush back tomorrow morning. 。Li Ge'er prepared gifts for everyone in the family, from small trinkets to new books, calligraphy and paintings, or ornaments, everything was available. 。There is also a master craftsman in his county town who makes tin cans very well. They are shiny, airtight, and leakproof. 。This time, he also brought back dozens to his family. 。Jia Yin simply loves it and can't put it down. Such a good thing, whether it's for putting medicine powder or tea leaves, is too suitable. 。That evening, several good dishes were prepared at home. Mr. Jiang, Dr. Zhang, the old village head, Liu Diao Tou, Zhao Shu and others were invited to gather together, making for a lively affair. 。Dr. Zhang's temper was that he never conceded to others, no matter the circumstances. If he wanted something, he would simply order Jia Yin and Wan'er, never being polite. 。As for Mr. Jiang, although he kept smiling and seemed the same as usual, there was a hint of embarrassment and anxiety in his deep eyes. 。en we can go see the flowers together and tell the Empress herself. The Empress cares for you so much, she wouldn't mind even ten or eight flower seedlings!"Jia Yin happily nodded, just about to pick...
