Chapter 163 Standing High and Seeing Far
Zhang Xiaohua: "By the way, Yueyue, isn't this to celebrate your family's move? Xiaohua, Xiaoxiao and I have embroidered a piece of embroidery for you together."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaohe unfolded the embroidery. It was the Chinese zodiac of Yueyue, and a cute Chinese pastoral dog was strolling leisurely in the garden.
Zhang Yunyue was surprised and said, "Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We asked our mother to teach us this painting. If it were just the three of us, we might not be able to embroider it so well."
Madam Chen also saw the unfolded embroidery. Although the fabric was not of the highest quality, the paintings on it were novel and completely different in style from the embroidery she usually saw.
"Yes, this painting is novel. The imaginations of the three of you are becoming more and more vivid."
When the three of them heard Madam Chen say this, they were very happy.
Zhang Yunyue: "Thank you. After today, I will take it to town to have it framed and then hang it in my room."
Madam Chen patted Zhang Yunyue's hand and said angrily:
"How could you forget me? I run an embroidery workshop, and I can frame it. How about this, when I leave, I'll bring this embroidery back and have it framed for you, and you can come get it when you're free in a few days."
"Really? I'll trouble you, Madam Chen. I'll come to look for you when I'm free in a few days."
Zhang Xiaohua: "Yueyue, we'll leave first. You continue to entertain Madam Chen." Then she said to Madam Chen: "Madam Chen, we'll leave first."
Mrs. Chen nodded.
Zhang Yunyue thought that Madam Chen was not familiar with the other people in the family and it would be a bit boring for her to sit here.
"Mrs. Chen, how about I take you to the second floor of our house to see the scenery."
When Madam Chen heard Zhang Yunyue say this, she knew that Yueyue was afraid that she would be bored here and would have nothing to talk about with everyone.
"Okay, I can take a good look at your new house on the second floor, and also take a look at the whole picture of the village."
Zhang Yunyue stood up, took Chen Niangzi's arm and went to the third courtyard.
On the second floor, Zhang Xingyun and the others were still chatting and laughing.
"My eldest brother and cousins are also on the second floor, but we'll go to the other side so we don't disturb them."
Zhang Yunyue took Mrs. Chen to the second floor and went to the corridor where they could see the backyard. Fortunately, there were corridors on both sides, so Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue's rooms also had doors on both sides for entry and exit.
Zhang Yunyue opened the door of her and Xiaoxue's room. Since the sofa had been moved to the opposite corridor, she moved out three stools and put some melon seeds in a basket and placed them on the stools.
"Ms. Chen, please sit here."
"Yueyue, the second floor of your house is really nice. If it's summer, you can put a lounge chair here, lie on it, and enjoy the scenery in the distance. It's so comfortable."
Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Madam Chen, you and I had the same idea when we built this second floor. At that time, we thought that we could stand high up and see far away on the second floor, and when we have nothing to do, we can sit here and kill half a day."
"I knew that was what you, Yueyue, were thinking."
"It makes me want to build a two-story house in the countryside, so I can enjoy the scenery and experience the farm life with smoke rising from the chimneys. But I have no choice but to stay at Jinxiufang. I am satisfied after seeing you here today."
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she grabbed some melon seeds from the basket and started to eat them.
Zhang Yunyue and Mrs. Chen have been staying alone on the second floor.
It was not until Zhang's mother entered the courtyard for the third time and shouted to Zhang Xingyun and the others upstairs:
"Xiaoyun, Xiaohao, the banquet is about to begin. Call your cousins down to eat."
Zhang Xingyun responded: "Okay, got it, mother."
Then he said to the group of people who were sitting and chatting, "Let's go, cousins, let's go downstairs to eat. My mother is here to call us."
After that, a group of people picked up An An who was lying on the sofa and walked towards the stairs.
Zhang Yunyue heard some footsteps coming from the stairs, and realized that there were a lot of people walking on the stairs.
Zhang Yunyue stood up and took a look, and found that everyone was going downstairs.
"Brother, aren't you guys staying on the second floor? Why are you all going downstairs?"
"Huh? Yueyue, why are you on the second floor? I didn't see you."
"Oh, I'm sitting with Madam Chen on the second floor corridor in the backyard."
"Is that so? Then you guys should come downstairs too. Auntie said the banquet will start soon."
"Okay, let's get ready to go downstairs, big brother, you guys go first."
After Zhang Xingyun and the others went downstairs, Zhang Yunyue also went downstairs with Mrs. Chen.
Zhang Yunyue brought Madam Chen to the table where Grandma Zhang and the others were sitting. Also at the table were Grandma Yang and Xiaoxue's grandmother Ye, as well as several aunts, Zhang's mother, and Zhu.
Zhang Yunyue sat at a table with her cousin, and her cousin. Zhang Xiaohua and three others were also at the table.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yunyue heard the sound of horse hooves, and it wasn't just one horse.
Wait for the two carriages to stop at Zhang’s new house.
The people sitting around looked at the two approaching carriages and began to discuss in low voices.
"The Zhang family is incredible. A few people just came from the town, and now there are two more carriages."
"Yes, you see the carriage at the back is better than the one at the front, and looks richer. I wonder how their family knows this rich man."
The carriages stopped and Cao Shiyang got off the first carriage.
When Zhang Yunyue saw that it was Cao Shiyang, she walked forward with Grandpa Zhang and Zhang's father Zhang Cheng.
Before they reached Cao Shiyang, the people in the second carriage got off.
Zhang Yunyue looked closely and found that it was Xiao Qi, the owner of Tianxiang Tower.
Cao Shiyang's waiter took the prepared gifts off the carriage.
Xiao Qi walked in front, Cao Shiyang followed beside him, and behind them were two guards with swords on their waists.
The man with a serious face had been seen when signing the contract for the first time. Although the other one had not been seen before, he followed behind Xiao Qi and kept looking at everyone with a smile on his face, making people feel that he was very approachable and easy to talk to.
The waiter followed at the back holding the gift.
Zhang Yunyue bowed and said with a smile, "Master Xiao, Shopkeeper Cao."
Xiao Qi and Cao Shiyang clasped their fists to everyone.
Cao Shiyang: "Miss Zhang, old man, your family is moving to a new house today, and my boss and I came here to share in the joy, hahahaha."
Zhang Yunyue responded: "My grandfather and I are very grateful to you two for coming to congratulate us today."
Xiao Qi discovered that after not seeing her for two or three months, the girl in front of him was taller and whiter than when he first met her, whereas she looked thin and small before.
Now it seems that she has some flesh on her face, and shallow dimples on both sides of her cheeks, which makes her look even more adorable when she smiles.
