The family was chatting warmly when Honglian and the others were about to head to the kitchen to help out. Qingnian stopped them, saying, "No need today, we will be hosting the meal at the restaurant, not at home. We don't have enough space here anyway, and it would be too chaotic and troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen nodded and then told Honglian, "You girls go to the kitchen and see if you can help prepare two tables of dishes. The men will go to the restaurant, and we can stay at home, where it's less crowded and more comfortable."
Honglian nodded and led Hongshao and the other three out. Now, Qingnian's household had not just Mrs. Sun but also two young maidservants. As the shop manager, Qingnian was wealthy enough to afford servants, which allowed Huixin to rest properly. The maids were busy in the kitchen preparing the midday meal.
