Chapter 666 Chu Hongmei
Ye Muyu calmly said that due to the time difference, it wasn't too difficult, but it still needed to be arranged properly. Today, they only needed tea, pastries, melon seeds, and fruit peels.
Although they had bought some, it wouldn't be enough for the large number of people. Just heating the water alone required repeated efforts, leaving no free time.
Roasting peanuts was also a physically demanding task.
The pastries were bought in advance from the county, so there was no need to worry about not having enough.
"That's good. I was actually planning to discuss this with you earlier, but Ah Heng said he was prepared, so I didn't come."
These days, the villagers were busy harvesting sweet potatoes and planting wheat.
Chu Liushi was also busy. Although they had hired temporary workers, it wasn't something that could be finished in a few days.
"Mother, it's already great that you're here to help today. You don't need to worry. Many things have been arranged by husband. I don't really understand these things either. I just listen to husband's arrangements and ask Mrs. Xie." Ye Muyu said frankly.
If they were in the county, they could have just hired a restaurant to handle the banquet, but in the countryside, they had to take care of some things themselves. For example, the rules for entertaining guests separately. To be honest, Ye Muyu only learned about it after consulting Mrs. Xie.
It had to be said that the ancient rules were strict and even with special treatment, no one felt it was inappropriate. If brought to the modern era, it would probably be questioned for lack of respect.
"That's good. Mrs. Xie definitely knows more about these things than us country women." Chu Liushi nodded sincerely.
The servants in the house had already been arranged in advance for what they should do. Soon, Ye Muyu wasn't as busy anymore because some servants from the orchard had also come over to help.
As soon as Ye Muyu walked out, she was surrounded by a group of women.
Chu Liushi had come out earlier and was already chatting with relatives.
"Ah Yu, this is your eldest aunt. She just rushed over from Heishui Village. We haven't seen each other for many years." Chu Liushi pulled her over and introduced her.
Speaking of which, Ye Muyu really didn't know her well. Even the original owner didn't have much contact with her.
Ye Muyu obediently called someone over.
Chu Xingjun held her hand and patted it lightly, with a face full of kindness. "So this is Ah Heng's wife, right? I saw you when they got married. I didn't expect so much time to have passed."
She spoke with a rural accent, with a kind and benevolent expression. She looked quite old, with silver hair all over her head and a face full of wrinkles, indicating that her life hadn't been easy. There were even traces left on her hands from long-term agricultural work, and gently touching Ye Muyu's hand made it slightly sore.
"Aunt, you must be tired from your journey. Sit down and have some tea and snacks." Ye Muyu invited.
Chu Xingjun nodded repeatedly. "Okay okay okay, you don't need to trouble yourself to entertain me. With so many people, just focus on your work."
Ye Muyu could see her sincerity, with the unique simplicity and diligence of the countryside, which made Hu Shi take her to sit down and rest and have tea.
She then followed Chu Liushi to greet people.
Especially the younger generation, she hardly knew any of them.
"Ah Yu, this is your second aunt." Chu Liushi pointed to a woman who was dressed decently and looked only about thirty or forty years old, who was looking around.
"Second sister, this is Ah Heng's wife." Chu Liu Shi called out to Chu Hongmei.
The woman's gaze immediately fell on Ye Muyu, and after a few glances, she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, sorry for the inconvenience. I was looking for my daughter Qingxue. This child, she said she was going to the restroom, but she hasn't come back yet. I'm worried. She has never gone far alone, and she's too recognizable. I paid a little more attention."
"It's okay. Qingxue is here too, right? I haven't seen her in a long time." Chu Liushi's expression was calm and not enthusiastic. Compared to her attitude towards the eldest aunt Chu Xingjun, she was much more casual.
