xteen dishes, piled on top of each other, large plates stacked upon large bowls, the table was almost crushed under their weight.The staple food was steamed white flour buns, piled high in five or six...Everyone sat down at once. Liu Biaotou stuck his head out to look at Jia Yin and asked,

"How's our little girl doing She looks to be in good spirits."

Jia Yin's big eyes shone brightly as she stared at Liu Biayou, reaching out to run towards him.

Grandma Li casually passed her granddaughter to Liu, the head鏢師. Liu instinctively caught her, and then regretted it a little.

A six-month-old baby, soft and chubby, a tiny little ball.

His hands, as big as a fan, he didn't know where to put them.

Jia Yin felt his panic and giggled, hugging him tightly. That way, she could lean against his chest.

Liu Biantou lay back halfway, letting Jia Yin lie down comfortably so she wouldn't fall.

Looking at such a valiant man, being scared into this state by a little girl.

Everyone burst into laughter. Jia Yin found it amusing, and of course, she was truly grateful to the man.

He helped the family a lot, and that day when she was desperate and terrified, he was the first one to rush into the casino.

A five or six-month-old baby can't say anything, she can only express closeness in this way.

Liu Biantou carefully guarded the meat bun in front of his chest, his heart melting like water.

When the child was little, they were so adorable. Holding them felt so warm and cozy.

Unfortunately, his son was always traveling when he was young.

As if waking from a dream, the son was already seven or eight years old.

Thinking about it this way, I really owe my son.

Liu Yang, who was sitting at the door chatting in hushed tones with his brother Ji Xiao, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"Jia Yi cuai cuai him, asking, "What's wrong Are you about to go on a mission again so soon Did your father agree to let you go with"

Liu Yang immediately pulled a long face, "I've begged him several times, but my father just won't agree. You have to beg him one more time for me, and then we can leave together."

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for opportunities.

The two were talking animatedly, and Liu Biaotou called out to his son, "Son, bring over what your mother prepared."

Liu Yang responded with a sound and sent the package beside him over.

Liu, the head of the鏢 (a security escort service), carefully handed Jia Yin to Old Madam Li and then opened the package.

"Auntie, my daughter-in-law prepared some things for Funiu. They're not anything valuable, please don't mind them."

The package contains a set of little jacket and pants, as well as a small quilt.

The pants were a crimson color, embroidered with pale yellow flowers.

The quilt was newly embroidered with blue flowers on a green background.

The materials are fine and the stitching is meticulous, it's clear that a lot of care went into making this.

Grandma Li was overjoyed and kept thanking them repeatedly.

"Oh my, Yang Ge must be exhausted. This is simply breathtaking!"

Jia Yin also likes it, holding hands together, bowing to show gratitude.

As a result, she forgot that her waist was still too soft and almost fell. Liu Biao rushed to catch her in time.

Li Laosi introduced the people in the room to Liu Biao.

The village head, villagers who helped that day, and a few elderly gentlemen like Uncle Zhao from next door.

Liu Biaotou certainly knew that the Li family had only come to settle in the village four months ago.

In such a short time, getting along so well with the villagers shows that the Li family must be well-organized and righteous.

He became even more determined to visit the Li family frequently in the future.

After some more idle chatter, it was time to start setting the table for dinner.

Li Jia's main hall was very spacious. Once the doors to the east and west rooms were opened, three tables of wine and food could be set up with ease.

Liu Biaotou and Li Laoer, Li Laosi, the village head, and several old gentlemen sat at one table.

The east room belonged to several villagers, accompanied by Li Laosan, the one they were most familiar with. The west room was the kingdom of the boys.

Family harmony and happiness, accompanied by Liu Yang, with Li Lao Tai and Jia Yin.

As for Jiahuan, he has been busy in the kitchen.

Tao Hongying's craftsmanship was already good, and this time she put in extra effort.

When the dish was served, everyone was amazed.

Everything is so visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious. The ingredients are just too generous.

Sour pickled vegetable pork ribs stew and braised pork with dry-fried vegetables are both served in small clay pots.

The rest are also the largest plates, and they look even more beautiful when set up.

Li Lao Tai greeted everyone, "At home, don't be so formal. Eat first and then drink, be careful not to drink on an empty stomach, it's uncomfortable. When you go back, your wives will blame me!"

Everyone laughed and shouted.

"Don't worry, Granny. With so many delicious things here, who would even think about drinking Let's satisfy our hunger first."

That's what they say, but who doesn't like a good drink

Before they were full, everyone raised their wine bowls.

With the fiery sorghum liquor warming their insides, things got even more lively.

Everyone opened up and talked about the new things happening in the outside world.

Talking about spring plowing, what is planted in the fields. Talking about the high court grain tax, even wars in the north.

The women from the village ate their meals at home, but unable to resist their curiosity, they all came to listen to the commotion.

The naughty boys followed their mother in, secretly swallowing their saliva.

Grandma Li then had Jia'an and Jiaxi take the dried fruit, dividing it out. The happy and mischievous boys were so excited they almost jumped three feet high.

Tao Hongying took a break and went into the house to take a look at the needles and thread Liu's family had sent. She was very happy.

Back in the kitchen, she pondered over what to give as a gift in return.

There were still two smoked rabbits and a smoked deer leg at home, but that wasn't enough, and what was worse, Liu Biaotou's daughter-in-law had to be thanked.

Fortunately, there's still some dough left, the tofu is fresh too, and I have some wood ear mushrooms leftover.

So, she quickly steamed a dozen or so plain buns, and fried meatballs and spring rolls.

Finally, put it into a new basket and cover it with clean cotton cloth.

As a result, what she prepared as a return gift turned out to be also suitable as an apprenticeship gift, proving to be very useful.

Originally, Liu Biayou had mentioned taking a few days to escort goods.

Li Laosì couldn't go to the spring planting this time, so he sent Jia Yi along.

Liu the head of the鏢 was fond of talent, and seeing Jia Yi and his son get along so well, he opened his mouth to say that he wanted to take on a disciple.

Of course Jia Yi was willing, and the Li family had also reached a tacit understanding long ago.

At that moment, Jiayi knelt down and kowtowed, offering tea.

Li Lao quickly came out to look for her daughter-in-law and pay respects to the master.

Tao Hongying's preparations were exactly requisitioned, but it was still a bit meager...

After a satisfying meal, Jiayin, feeling drowsy and full, was carried to the west wing.

"Funiuer, do you have any fruit Could you bring some out Your third brother has become a disciple, and our family doesn't have anything to give as a gift..."

Old Lady Li had only spoken halfway when she was still worried that her granddaughter wouldn't understand.

As a result, a bag of red dates and a basket of apples and pears suddenly appeared before her.

Seeing Grandma silent, Jia Yin took out two live fish again.

"Enough, enough!"

Li Laotai was splashed in the face with water from a live fish and immediately turned around, hastily stopping her.

Your mother should also prepare, adding two fish and two baskets of fruit will be enough.

Jia Yin yawned, leaned against her grandma's shoulder, and fell asleep instantly.

Grandma Li gently cradled her granddaughter and called out to her daughter-in-law, urging her to get things ready.

When Liu Biao's father and son returned home, the gifts Li family had sent as a token of apprenticeship were piled up in half a cart.

Mrs. Liu took her drunk husband, and was startled by these things.

After all, she only gave some needlework, the Li family's return was too much.

Still, it was her son who enlightened her, “My father took Jia Yi as his disciple. This is a gift for the apprenticeship ceremony prepared by Jia Yi’s grandmother!”

Mrs. Liu now understood and had a better impression of the Li family.

Liu Yang took a few fruits and ran away, leaving her to serve her drunk husband.

Unbeknownst to her, she was directly pulled onto the bed.

"Madam, let's have a daughter too. A little sweet girl like the one in the Li family, soft and plump..."

The Li family was unaware that, after Liu the鏢頭 embraced Jia Yin, he embarked on a thousand-effort path to have his wife give birth to a daughter.

After sending off the guests, it was finally time to tidy up the house. Everyone, young and old, was completely exhausted.

It was a good time to hear that, since she woke up bored and was munching on her toes while tidying her small courtyard.nd kissed him on the cheek, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.Jia Yi held his little sister, also smiling helplessly."I really don't know what you're doing with so many quartz stones They aren't as...
