Chapter 704: Has that little goblin been here?
There was still a lot to do the next day.

After returning home, An Wenjing took the opportunity to read a book while Chen Hui and Chen Huihong were washing up.

"Wife, it's your turn."

"Once I finish my work tomorrow, I'll have plenty of time to read these books!"

"Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed." Chen Hui came out and urged her, wiping his hair.

"I know! I'm going to wait for you and my aunt anyway."

As An Wenjing spoke, she put away the books and notebooks and put them on the shelf.

I was thinking that there would be a lot of guests coming to my house tomorrow, and I would bring my children along.

"Brother Chen Hui, can you help me put all these materials into the cabinet in the room?"

After thinking about it, Chen Hui quickly understood An Wenjing's idea.

He smiled and said, "You are quite experienced. Wen Yi, that little brat, must have played with your things a lot in the past, right?"

An Wenjing smiled and nodded.

I took a towel and clean clothes and went to the back door.

Chen Hui helped move all the books, notebooks, pens and ink to the second floor and put them back in the cabinet in the room.

Also bring in the small notebook that you usually use to take notes from the old bookshelf outside.

New cabinets all come with locks, so just lock the cabinet door after putting your things in.

"I'm going to bed first! You two stop dawdling and get ready early to go to bed."

Chen Huihong said something at the door of the room, closed the door and went to sleep.

Chen Hui waited for a while.

An Wenjing quickly washed up and went back upstairs.

The two wasted no time.

After turning off the lights, they chatted for a while in the dark, and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

In my previous life, I never got married, bought several houses, and never held a wedding banquet.

Chen Hui was quite looking forward to the banquet the next day.

When I woke up the next morning, An Wenjing and Chen Huihong were still asleep.

Chen Hui opened the door, went out, opened the window and looked out.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and smoke was coming out of the chimneys on the roofs of several houses in the village, but most people were still asleep.

"Chen Hui?!"

Wu Shuisheng was carrying a large bag of things. He saw the person in the window clearly and shouted in disbelief.

Chen Hui looked down following the sound, "Uncle, why are you here so early?"

"Is it really you? The sun is rising from the west?" After Wu Shuisheng said this, he raised his head and looked east, west, south and north.

Chen Hui was too tired to complain.

I went into the room, took out my watch and looked at it. It was just after five o'clock.

While putting the watch on his wrist, he went downstairs to open the door for Wu Shuisheng.

"Where are your aunt and Wenjing? Aren't they up yet?"

"Why did you get up so early today? Are you too excited to sleep?"

Wu Shuisheng walked in while talking and handed the bag in his hand to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui took it and opened the bag to look.

There were steamed buns and two servings of kelp and pork ribs soup with less meat and more soup.

"Uncle, are these all you brought with you?"

"Where are my two kinds of seafood?" Chen Hui was confused.

"Why bring it here? Lunch isn't cooked at your house."

"I just came over from the bridge, and Aunt Chuanfang saw it and asked me to take it in."

"I felt really embarrassed because I didn't even buy their share of buns and steamed buns."

Wu Shuisheng smiled embarrassedly.

I went into the kitchen and took out a big bowl for the kelp soup.

"Uncle, what seafood did you buy today?"

Chen Hui said as he took out a bun from the bag.

I remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth yet.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a big bite of the bun and started eating.

"Blood clams and twenty blue crabs." "Even in Dasha Village, these two would be very pretty for a banquet."

"Today I just had enough. I was very lucky. Sometimes I can't even get enough."

Wu Shuisheng handed a spoon to Chen Hui and beckoned him to sit down and eat together.

"That's true! Last time I went to the county town to attend the full moon banquet, they also used blue crabs."

"But in their family, there is a big plate for each table, and each person has a blue crab." Chen Hui said as he sat down.

"One per person? Just crabs?"

"We won't be able to get back the money we spent on this banquet, right?!" Wu Shuisheng shook his head. It was hard to imagine such a lavish wedding banquet.

"Ah Hui, why did you get up so early today?"

"Your uncle is here, right? What seafood did he buy?"

Chen Huihong also got up and shouted downstairs when she heard the noise.

“I bought blood clams and blue crabs!”

"Aunt, can you call Wenjing to come down and have breakfast with us? Uncle bought some buns."

Chen Hui responded loudly while eating breakfast.

"Oh, you understand life so well today."

Chen Huihong made a joke.

An Wenjing seemed to be sleeping soundly and was not woken up by such loud talking.

He closed the door gently, went downstairs and said:
"There are quite a few people helping out today, and you've hired some people, so you should be able to handle it. Let Wen Jing sleep a little longer."

Chen Hui nodded.

I took a bowl, put three buns and a small bowl of kelp soup in it, and put it into the pot for her.

After the three of them had finished breakfast, Chen Qiaomei came over and called out to them.

It was said that Li Da and his family had arrived and had started working in her yard.

"I'll come with you!"

"Someone will definitely come to visit our house soon. Chen Hui, you and your uncle will wait at home."

"Put out some refreshments and boil a pot of water."

After Chen Huihong finished speaking, she picked up a meat bun and stuffed it into Chen Qiaomei's hand.

The two men left together.

"Chen Hui, the person you found seems to be quite reliable."

"It's just that the wages are too expensive. It costs fifty yuan to hold a show," said Wu Shuisheng.

"Li Da came to work yesterday, and he and his wife came twice."

"Five more people came today, and we used their pots and stoves."

"Ten yuan per person is not cheap, but it is hard-earned money," said Chen Hui.

The job of organizing banquets began at this time and continued to exist for decades.

Li Da and his colleagues were considered to be forward-looking.

Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng had breakfast.

Put the prepared peanut candies into two large round tea trays.

One plate was placed on the tea table in the living room, and the other was placed on the square table.

Chen Hui found a pair of big scissors.

I went to the backyard and picked up some osmanthus flowers that were in full bloom, and placed them in small cups in corners of the hall.

When the wind blows, the whole hall is filled with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Then he boiled a large pot of water and made a few cups of tea with sugar.

He added more hot water into the copper kettle and fanned the charcoal stove a few times to keep the charcoal fire burning.

"Chen Hui! Congratulations! The new house is built so nicely!"

As soon as the preparations were completed, the first guest came in, talking.

"Hey, Auntie, why are you here? How do you know my house is here?"

Chen Hui was very surprised when he saw who was coming.

"Yeah! I haven't been here before."

"You've spent so much time building this house, but you didn't even bother to invite me, your aunt, to have a meal or a cup of tea."

"Chen Hui, tell me the truth, has that little demon been here before? Yaozu brought her here, right?"
