"Brother Zhao, take a break and move it later," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai replied, then sat down beside Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Brother Zhao, thank you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Wife, why are you being so polite with me?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled, then found herself at a loss for words.
Because of what happened last night, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed.
Every time she saw Zhao Guangcai, she would remember the scene of them sleeping in each other's arms.
Although they hadn't done anything, she still felt a little shy.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Zhao Guangcai noticed Zhang Xiaoxiao's flushed face and asked.
"I... I'm fine," Zhang Xiaoxiao stammered.
"Are you too tired?" Zhao Guangcai asked with concern.
"No," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Then what's the matter?" Zhao Guangcai pressed on.
"I... I'm just a bit worried," Zhang Xiaoxiao said sheepishly.
"Worried about what?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion.
"I'm worried that my cooking won't taste good," Zhang Xiaoxiao admitted.
"How could that be? The food my Wife makes is the best," Zhao Guangcai said.
"But I've never cooked before," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Who said that? Didn't you cook yesterday?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"I only made some porridge," Zhang Xiaoxiao clarified.
"Didn't you ever cook at home before?" Zhao Guangcai inquired.
"No," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
When she was at home, the cook always prepared the meals; she had never stepped into the kitchen.
Although the original owner was an orphan and lived a hard life, she had never cooked for herself either.
After all, she had no money; even if she wanted to cook, she couldn't afford the ingredients.
"Then you might just be a natural at cooking," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Hehe, I hope so," Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly.
"Alright, hurry up and move the table over," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged.
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai replied, then lifted the table and walked towards Chen Shuying's yard.
Zhang Xiaoxiao carried a stool, following him like a little tail.
After placing the stool in Wang's yard, she went back for another one.
After several trips back and forth, she finally moved all the stools over.
Chen Shuying felt very satisfied when she saw the neatly arranged tables and stools.
At this time, the staff responsible for delivering the dishes were also setting them up.
In less than half an hour, several tables of food and drinks were laid out.
" Xiaoxiao, come over and bring the remaining dishes to the table," Chen Shuying said.
"Okay, sister-in-law," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied and went to get the dishes.
Once they brought the remaining dishes to the table, fellow villagers began to arrive one after another.
"Wow, so much delicious food!" an uncle exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, Sister Chen really went all out," another uncle echoed.
"Everyone, don't be polite; just sit wherever you like," Chen Shuying welcomed them.
"Alright," everyone responded and then found their seats.
"Sister Chen, when will your house be finished?" an aunt asked.
"It should take a few more days," Chen Shuying answered.
"Then you can stay at my place for now," the aunt suggested.
"No need, Aunt; I'm staying at Wang's," Chen Shuying replied.
"Oh, I forgot, hehe," the aunt laughed.
"Come on, everyone, don't just chat; eat more," Chen Shuying encouraged.
"Okay," everyone responded and then started eating.
"Sister Chen, you're really generous to order so many dishes," an older brother said.
"Yeah, this table must have cost quite a bit, right?" another older brother asked.
"No, I ordered these dishes from a restaurant in town," Chen Shuying said.
"It's no wonder I feel like these dishes are a bit like those served in restaurants," an uncle said.
"I can't help it; I'm pressed for time, so I had to place an order," Chen Shuying said with a wry smile.
"That's fine, Sister Chen; we don't mind," a young man said.
"Right, as long as there's something to eat," an Aunt echoed.
"Well, everyone, let's eat," Chen Shuying said.
"Okay," everyone responded, and then they began to eat.
They were eating heartily, chatting as they went along, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Sister Chen, you really should move back earlier," a young girl said.
"Mm," Chen Shuying replied, her eyes slightly moist.
"Sister Chen, don't be sad; things will get better for you," Zhang Xiaoxiao comforted her.
"Mm, I will," Chen Shuying nodded.
"Come on, let's eat," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Okay," Chen Shuying replied and then started eating again.
After a while, an Aunt rushed in anxiously.
"Sister Chen, something's wrong," the Aunt said urgently.
"Aunt, what happened?" Chen Shuying asked.
"Xiao Liang... Xiao Liang was taken away by Granny Wang," the Aunt panted.
"What?" Chen Shuying exclaimed in shock.
"You need to go get him back," the Aunt urged.
"That old hag, I won't let her off easily," Chen Shuying gritted her teeth.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked when she saw Chen Shuying getting ready to leave.
"I..." Chen Shuying wanted to explain but found it too troublesome, so she said, "Xiaoxiao, please tell the Fellow Villagers that I have something to attend to and will leave first; let them eat slowly."
"Okay, sister-in-law," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
Chen Shuying nodded at Zhang Xiaoxiao and then hurriedly left.
