Chapter 398: Chapter 398 Deep-fried Dough Fruits Chapter 398: Chapter 398 Deep-fried Dough Fruits Mo Family Village
Today was the day of Madam Xie’s new house welcoming banquet, and the entire village was a picture of joy and festivities, for tonight, they had invited all the villagers, young and old, to feast in the open space in front of the ancestral hall.
Thinking about the meat they would get to eat today, the children were extremely excited and ran around in front of the Mo family’s new house.
Chuner filled a large plate with fried pastries and, together with Xiao Gougou, took it to the entrance of the house to distribute the treats to the children, making everyone very happy.
“Wife, wife, which room are you sleeping in?” Inside the house, Big Bull was moving Xuexue’s clothes and, not knowing which room to take them to, called out loudly.
The new house had plenty of rooms, three more than before, because they expanded the house quite a bit during construction, and of course, all of this was approved by the village head.
“I’ll sleep in the room on the far west side.” Xuexue was in the yard, busy with Madam Xie with the kitchen affairs.
“Alright! Then I’ll sleep in the room next to you.” Big Bull’s voice carried from afar.
Madam Xie laughed upon hearing this: “Xuexue, look at Big Bull, he can’t be apart from you now. Wherever you go, he follows, even wanting to sleep next to your room.”
Xuexue called out reproachfully, then lowered her head and laughed.
“Alright, alright! Mother won’t tease you anymore, really, I just hope you two can get married soon, then Mother’s wish will be fulfilled.”
“You’re still talking.” Xuexue stamped her foot, her face blushing. She couldn’t help but recall the night Big Bull had kissed her, and her little heart began to thump wildly.
Madam Xie, oblivious to the full extent, thought Xuexue was just shy and quickly said with a smile: “No more talk, no more talk.”
Xuexue didn’t understand how her face could get even hotter, so she hurriedly placed the bowl in her hand aside and turned to run away.
“This lass, she’s with Big Bull every day and doesn’t blush, but when Mother mentions a few words, she turns this red.” Madam Xie murmured to herself and continued with her work.
At this moment, a few women entered through the main gate.
As soon as they came in, they looked around: “Wow, Madam Xie, you’re really fortunate to have such a nice house, it’s worth a lifetime living here.”
Indeed, most of the houses in the village were made of mud bricks, and like these blue brick houses with tile roofs, there really weren’t many, so their envy was understandable.
Madam Xie wiped her hands using the apron tied around her waist, stood up, and asked, “Aunts, are you here to cook for tonight’s meal?”
“Yes, yes, Xuexue asked us yesterday. We got our household chores done early and hurried over,” the women replied, busy looking around as they answered.
Madam Xie said, “Xuexue told me earlier that all the food has been taken out near the ancestral hall. You can go directly there to cook.”
The women replied absent-mindedly, in truth, they already knew. Today Madam Xie was hosting a housewarming banquet and had invited the whole village to eat; their activities were noted by all the villagers, so of course, they knew, but they purposely came early to have a look at the house.
Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Madam Xie walked into the house. A short while later, she came out with a large basin filled with fried pastries.
“Aunts, thank you for your hard work with dinner tonight. I’ve got some fried fruits here; take these back for the children to satisfy their cravings,” she said.
The women’s eyes lit up at this, and they no longer cared about looking around; they hurried over, lifting the front of their garments to create a pouch and said, “Madam Xie, we don’t have anything to carry them in, so we’ll just pouch them in our clothes.”
