Chapter 219 Qingfeng Residence (4)
The two girls who stayed behind, one with an oval face and a pretty face, named Dingxiang; the other with a round face and a lovely face, named Qiangwei. Seeing that the guests had already taken their seats and were about to eat, the two girls hurried forward, wanting to serve them wholeheartedly.
However, Zhu Qingqing gently waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't bother, we can do it ourselves, we don't need you to serve us." Hearing this, the two little girls looked at each other, a little at a loss for what to do. After all, Aunt Xiu had repeatedly instructed them to entertain these distinguished guests well and take care of them meticulously.
Zhu Qingqing seemed to see through their thoughts, and she began to explain, "To be honest, our family is not used to having others watching us while we're eating, as it will affect everyone's appetite. So, it will be the same in the future. You don't need to serve here, understand?" She felt that some rules should be made clear in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles later.
Moreover, seeing these two little girls, almost the same age as her daughter Wu Di, standing there helplessly, watching their family eat, Zhu Qingqing felt a pang of displeasure, as if she were mistreating them. So, after a moment's thought, she continued, "How about this? You two go to the kitchen and help boil some more hot water. After dinner, we'll need a nice bath, and we'll need plenty of hot water!"
Hearing this, Lilac Rose quickly nodded in agreement.
In fact, they are completely forcing the issue! After all, these little girls are still young and ignorant, how can they know how to serve others attentively? Because the mansion is really short of manpower, they can only let these little girls who are still in the stage of learning the rules to take over temporarily.
Now, upon hearing that they were no longer needed to serve, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they all bowed to the crowd and walked lightly out of the room.
Zhu Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, now we can finally have some peace and quiet. Our family can have a good meal in peace!"
In fact, the most important thing is to be able to talk without any scruples.
"Wow! I can finally eat! Haha, this feeling of freedom is the most comfortable." An excited voice sounded. It turned out that Wu Di was running over happily to help set the table.
As she deftly fiddled with the tableware, she kept muttering, "Grandpa, grandma, mom, aunt, and cousin, please have your meal!"
After hearing this, everyone responded with a smile: "Okay, let's get started!" For a moment, the room was filled with laughter and a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
The food tasted pretty good. After everyone had eaten and rested for a while, Wang Xiangdong and Yang Jiu came in carrying a few packages.
In fact, they didn't have much luggage, and Zhu Qingqing had put all the important things back in her home.
Yang Jiu put down his things and left.
Zhu Qingqing looked at Wang Xiangdong and asked, "Old Geng, I just saw you guys driving the carriage around a corner, and I've been wondering where it ended up. And where did you have your meal?"
Wang Xiangdong grinned, revealing a row of large white teeth, and replied, "It's right at the end of this courtyard! There's only a wall separating us from here. There's a farm called Huanhua Village. The people living in the village are all from the Yang family! They not only raise many horses and oxen, but also livestock like pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks. Not to mention the vast fields planted with all kinds of crops and vegetables. Oh, and there's even a lotus pond with lotus roots and fish, which are specially provided for the Yang family's daily food! I heard that the Yang family's caravans would also stop here when they returned, but they didn't take the same route as us. They took another route."
Yu Bo: "Brother Dong, you've managed to find out so much information in just one meal. I admire you."
Wang Xiangdong: "No, no, just a little bit."
