Chapter 186 - 145: Celebrate Birthday_3
Since it was like that, there was no need to go to the town especially to buy food. Buy some pork from Xie Meat Shop, slaughter a chicken and a duck, and with the vegetables and mountain goods at home, these would be enough.
Qian Manxia was then asked to take Qian Xiaoyu to tidy up the middle room in the east wing.
In fact, that room had been furnished several days earlier when Huang Tie bought furniture back from the county town—beds, cabinets, writing desks, they had everything. Today was just about making the bed and moving over some study and daily living items.
But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Lady Wu could leave the house to buy meat, Qian Xiang came visiting with Eldest Daughter-in-law Zhang and her eldest grandson Hu Wa, riding in a donkey cart driven by Li Zhanchun.
This was a rare visit, and Qian Sangui was overjoyed, hurrying to invite them into the house.
Qian Xiang laughed heartily and said, "Big brother, big sister, don’t think of us as too eager guests, coming to your house so early. I was afraid big sister would go out to buy meat again, and then wouldn’t our bringing so much meat be in vain?"
Li Zhanchun parked the donkey cart and carried over a basket. The basket contained four pieces of pork, a pig’s leg, two pig’s trotters, and also a set of pig intestines, liver, and kidney—it was almost filled to the brim. Aside from two pieces of pork that were for the eldest and second branches, the rest were gifts for the third branch.
The Li family also brought Qian Yijin a sky blue silk robe and for Qian Yixiu, a small silver bracelet.
Qian Sangui and Lady Wu insisted that the gifts were too generous and beyond what they could accept.
