Chapter 336: Expanding the scale
Before Sun Jinhua finished speaking, Wang Guifen had already strode over and said in a loud voice: "The rules of the banquet are not to ask for others!
Family members agree not to interfere, but you can't take other people's food. Sun Jinhua, your bowl is not enough? Are you going to ask for your niece's?"
The noisy crowd was quiet for a moment and looked up at Sun Jinhua.
Grandma Xu sat close and asked, "Jinhua, why don't you sit down and go to other people's tables?
Three spoonfuls of noodles are enough for men with big appetites. You, a woman, are not enough, but you are asking for food for a little kid?"
"I saw it clearly just now. Shuiqing gave a lot of noodles in the bowl to Wanxia. You are not as good as an aunt. How dare you call yourself a mother?"
"I am so ashamed for you! Go back quickly. Can't you fill your stomach with food today? You are too greedy."
Really, there are meat, eggs, rice and white flour, so many delicious foods, but Sun Jinhua still comes to grab some food from Wanxia. You can imagine what life was like when she was still Zhaodi.
Sun Jinhua is not afraid of quarrels with Hu Shuiqing's family. She privately thinks that Zhaodi was born after ten months of pregnancy. The grace of giving birth is greater than heaven! What's wrong with eating a piece of her lard? Even if she is asked to cut meat to repay, it is fine! What else can others say?
As a result, others really said something, and even all stood on Hu Shuiqing's side!
She opened her mouth to explain: "I, I didn't, I was just afraid that Zhaodi had a weak stomach and would get upset if she ate too much meat."
"Come on, you're trying to trick a three-year-old child. She really won't eat it. There are still her whole family here. How can it be your turn as an aunt?"
"Hehe, you didn't say anything when you sold your daughter for food, but when you ate meat, you knew that this was your own daughter?"
Sun Jinhua's face turned red when she was asked. Seeing that people in the distance also stretched their necks to look at her, she lowered her head and slipped away without even saying a word.
Shuiqing stood up and thanked everyone who helped to speak, and everyone returned to the state of picking noodles before.
While eating, I felt that it was so fragrant and delicious!
Shui Qing sat down with a smile, and seeing Wan Xia who was bowing her head as if she had made a mistake, she gently reminded him: "Eating is the most important thing in the world, don't let it affect your mood, eat quickly."
At the same time, she was somewhat resentful of Sun Jinhua. Why did she come when people were eating? Wouldn't this affect her appetite?
Wan Xia suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of confusion, and explained in a low voice: "Aunt, I'm not upset, I just feel that I have caused you trouble."
The first thing that Aunt thought of was not to cause trouble for her, but to care about her mood.
Shui Qing cried out, the little girl was worried about this!
"You, look, I haven't even spoken, and other people have helped me solve it. You must know that as long as you become stronger, the mountain you thought was insurmountable can be easily crossed, and it may not even be considered a mountain."
Wan Xia was stunned.
Strong? She really needs to become stronger!
If it were the past when grandma was making trouble, the filial piety alone would be enough to suppress aunt and make her unable to move, but now no matter how grandma makes trouble, she has not gained any practical benefits except adding some trouble.
Now the eldest aunt is making a fuss, and even the blockade can't be added.
If it weren't for the strength of her aunt, she couldn't do it... Now her aunt is protecting her, and she hopes that one day she will protect her aunt...
The first village banquet in Shanshui Village ended in excitement and satisfaction.
Everyone was very satisfied, even Fan Qian and Zhang Tuzi's family were very satisfied with the food.
This was the most abundant and enjoyable meal they had this year.
The same was true for other villagers. The whole village ate rich and delicious food, and even the soup was meat soup with oil. It was hot and soothed the hard work of the year.
It's still unknown when the next time will be, but for the next time, everyone just feels full of energy.
Moving towards the days of eating well and well, closer and closer.

Winter is the slack season for farming. In the past, except for collecting firewood, most people would have hibernated.
This year's Shanshui Village is particularly busy.
The first thing to do was to build the pig pen and sheep pen. Every household was busy, making adobe bricks, clearing weeds and dead branches, digging foundations... They were busy.
In fact, there were not many people raising pigs and sheep in the first batch, but everyone wanted to build them quickly during the slack season so that they would not be in a hurry when they bought pigs and sheep later. Otherwise, what if the next batch was during the busy season? Who would have the manpower to build the pig and sheep pen at that time?
Pig and sheep pens are much easier to build than houses for people. First of all, they don’t need to be built so high. One person can be as high as the sheep pen, which saves half the adobe bricks immediately.
Secondly, the roof is not tiled, but thatched. It only takes effort to build it all the way.
After the village banquet, it was built in a few days. The people who bought the piglets happily went to Shuiqing to catch them.
The money had been paid long ago, and the pigs were put on a cart and transported directly to the built pig and sheep pen.
The old village chief had already discussed the care issue with other breeding families.
There were not many pigs in the first batch, only a few families, about nine families, and each family sent one or two people every night to guard the pig and sheep pen. They took turns every nine days, and since there were so many people in the family, it was not tiring.
When more than 30 families raised pigs and sheep, they only took turns once a month, and it was easy.
Li Wen happily put three piglets carefully into the pig pen, and Li Wu also put five lambs carefully into the sheep pen. Looking at the pigs and sheep wandering around and familiar with their territory, the eyes of the whole family were very loving.
It was as if he was not looking at livestock, but at the silver and the good life ahead.
"Dad, our family has the most!" Li Qiang said with great joy.
Although Aunt Wu's family has ten sheep, she went there too late and there are no pigs.
Other families have sheep, but they don't have as many pigs as his family!
Li Wu continued, "Sister-in-law is still fast! She said it early, otherwise how could our family have three pigs."
"Sister-in-law is the best!" Zhang Hui immediately praised her.
Wang Guifen was embarrassed by the praise from several people, and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, this is Dad's idea, otherwise I wouldn't be fast."
Aunt Wu's family was a step slower because the head of the family disagreed.
The old village chief was accustomed to the fact that the children would eventually praise him when they praised each other. He didn't continue talking, but talked about business: "What do you think if the rabbits are moved out?"
Wang Guifen and others' eyes lit up.
They had wanted to move the rabbits out for a long time!
We have space to raise rabbits at home, but we can’t expand the scale. Besides, we need to cut grass for pigs and cook pig food, and cut fodder for sheep. They are all grass, so it saves time to feed them all at once, right?
“Rabbits are our biggest source of income. In the past, we were afraid that something might go wrong if we let them out. Now there will be someone guarding this area in the back mountain day and night. I think we can give it a try.”
