However, Yu Hongyan liked it very much and wanted to learn how to make one as well.
Li Hehua was also happy with that thought. It was the first time she had made such beautiful shoes.
Early in the morning, Shao Youyue had sent her oldest maid, Xia Han, to the front with a small wooden box. It was a one-month-old gift for Xue Shi.
Yu Hongyan opened it and saw a small and exquisite longevity lock inside. It was made of gold, which gave Yu Hongyan and Xue Erfu a fright.
Both of them felt that it was too expensive. Xue Erfu was a man, so it was not appropriate to send it back. Thus, Yu Hongyan carried Xue Shi and sent it back.
However, Yu Hongyan was only one person. How could she resist the persuasion of Zi Cui and the other four people? After a lot of persuasion, Yu Hongyan could only accept the longevity lock.
However, she did not dare to give it to Xue Shi. It was too eye-catching. It was better to hide such a good thing.
There was actually a longevity lock hanging around Xue Shi’s neck, but it was hidden in his clothes and tied with a red string. This longevity lock was made of peach wood. They were told that peach wood could ward off evil spirits, so Xue Erfu specially learned how to make it personally from his elder brother Xue Yifu. He learned how to make it when he had time. After many days, he finally made a decent longevity lock for Xue Shi to wear.
The first time he wore it, Xue Shi probably wasn’t used to it because there was an extra thing on his neck. He even cried loudly and heartbreakingly. Later on, he got used to it and stopped crying.
Because there was a banquet at home today, there were several tables. Some relatives and people who were close to Xue Erfu would come.
With so many people coming to eat, Liu Guixia naturally couldn’t handle it. She called a few aunts in the village to help prepare a banquet.
Yu Hongyan’s mother, brother, and sister-in-law came over after breakfast because they lived nearby.
In the past, Yu Hongyan’s brother and sister-in-law didn’t like her. Ever since their family’s life became better and better, their brother and sister-in-law didn’t dislike her anymore. They were even afraid that she would be angry about the past and treat her mother better. As long as she treated her mother well, Yu Hongyan did not want to hold a grudge against her brother and sister-in-law for the past. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law supporting her mother, she quickly welcomed them in with Xue Erfu.
They even went to her room to talk privately.
Her mother hugged her grandson, Xue Shi, and was extremely happy that he was growing well.
Xue Da, Xue Darong, Qian Caiyu, and the others had also arrived early. Today, the house was extremely lively. Xue Dafu and the others were all smiling wide because of the lively environment.
Xue Sihu had also brought Xue Dagui back from town, but he had only returned after selling breakfast at the shop. It was impossible for him not to come back on such a day. Dagui had not returned to the village for a long time, so he naturally came back to visit. His grandfather must have missed him too.
Li Qingshu and the others had a good time with Xue Erfu. They were in the village, so they naturally came early.
There were many people sitting in the courtyard of the central room. Xue Erfu and the others were so attentive to each other that Xue Sihu naturally helped to greet them. He talked to them and did not neglect anyone.
Some other relatives were away and were not from this village. Naturally, they would come today, but they would probably only arrive at noon.
Jiang Yue saw that there were so many people in the house, but no one had noticed her and Xue Yan. Even Sifu was being held back by Li Qingshu and the others. They were even making a scene. Even if she and Xue Yan went out, no one would notice. When she realized that, only then did she look at Xue Yan calmly.
Xue Yan understood, then followed her out the door.
Even if the family found out that they were not at home, they would think that the two of them had gone out to play. Unless it was time for dinner, they would not come out to look for them..
