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.
