Chapter 271 Dinner at Chen Yan's House
Lin Xi looked at the four little guys who were fighting and playing, smiled and shook his head.
"Fellow villagers, let's hurry up and unload the bricks. After unloading, we can go back and have a quick meal and rest. We have to get up early to work tomorrow!"
After hearing the words of the village chief, the crowd who had been watching the four little ones playing with great interest quickly pushed the cart and continued walking towards the village!
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiaobai and the other three stopped making a fuss, shouted that they wanted to help too, and then flew towards the foot of the mountain!
The wives and mothers who heard the noise came out. Just as they were about to help move the bricks, they heard Xiaohong's voice: "Aunts, you don't need to help. With the four of us, we can unload all the bricks in a moment!"
So the women turned around and went back to their own yards, and soon they saw smoke rising from the yards of each house!
"Master, where should we unload these bricks?"
Xiaobai flew in front of Lin Xi and pointed at the carts and asked.
"Just put it under that tree over there so it's easy to access when we build the house!"
Lin Xi looked around and pointed to a big tree at the foot of the mountain and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, four little guys flew into the air, stretched their hooves, waved their claws, and flapped their wings towards the cart. Then the bricks on the cart automatically flew to the bottom of the tree and were neatly stacked!
Upon seeing this, the villagers looked at the four little ones with admiration!
After the village chief decided on the working time for tomorrow with everyone, he asked everyone to go home quickly to eat and rest.
The villagers invited Lin Dayong and his family to their homes for dinner. After hearing Lin Dayong say that they would go to Chen Yan's home for dinner later, they gave up and went home!
"Uncle Dayong, Boss, Brother Lin Kang, Lin Ping, Xiao An'er, let's go!"
Chen Yan felt very honored that Lin Xi's family could come to his house for dinner. He grinned and called everyone, then pulled Lin Ping and Lin An and ran to his house.
Lin Dayong, Lin Xi and Lin Kang followed with a smile.
Xiaobai and the other two flew behind Chen Yan and the other two, teasing Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, why don't you invite the four of us? Can we go to dinner together?"
"You and the boss are a family, so my mother's invitation to the boss's family naturally includes you. Let's go back and see what delicious food my mother has prepared!"
His mother must have taken out all the good things in the house, Chen Yan thought to himself.
Sure enough, when Chen Yan led Lin Xi and others back to his home, they saw that the square table at home was already full of food!
There were chicken stewed with potatoes, pork ribs stewed with radish, braised pork, fried fish, fried shrimps, old duck soup, radish meatballs, spicy fried rabbit meat, and a few vegetarian dishes. The staple food was big white steamed buns!
Smelling the rich aroma of the food, several people's stomachs started to growl!
Liu and Cao carried a table out of the kitchen, and brought warm water and towels to Lin Xi and the others, asking them to wash their hands and sit down to eat.
Everyone was not polite and chose a seat to sit down. They reached out to grab a big, white and soft steamed bun and started to eat it with the dishes.
Lin Dayong sat at a table with the boys. Lin Xi was pulled by Cao and Liu to the table they carried out from the kitchen. The four little ones also gathered around this table.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Lin Xi ate a big steamed bun in a short while. She took the steamed bun handed over by Liu and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, your steamed buns are really delicious. Do you have any more? I want to take some back to eat tomorrow!"
This was the first time that Lin Xi had eaten such delicious steamed buns since she came to this world. There was a milky aroma in the steamed buns. She had eaten steamed buns with the same flavor once at a comrade-in-arms’ home in her previous life. Her comrade-in-arms’ mother put milk powder in the flour, so there was a milky aroma in the steamed buns.
What did Aunt Liu put in there?
Seeing her daughter actually asking for steamed buns, Cao poked her forehead with her hand and said angrily, "Xi'er, is there anyone like you? You're even asking your Aunt Liu for food!"
Liu was very happy to see Lin Xi asking her for steamed buns. She pulled Cao's arm and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm so happy that Lin Xi doesn't treat me as a stranger. What do you think she's doing?"
After that, she smiled gently at Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xi girl, I have steamed a lot of buns. Don't worry about eating them. I will pack the rest for you later. When you finish eating, I will steam more for you!"
"Thank you, Auntie! What did you put in the steamed buns? Why does it smell like milk?"
Lin Xi first stuck out her tongue at Cao mischievously, then looked at Liu with a smile and asked.
"Oh! Didn't Chen Yan catch a sheep some time ago? I found that the sheep was pregnant with a lamb, so I raised it. Two days ago, it gave birth to a lamb. I saw that the lamb couldn't finish the milk, so I squeezed some out every day. When I steamed buns today, I added some goat milk to them!"
After listening to Liu's words, Lin Xi suddenly realized, that's it!
Seeing that Lin Xi was only busy eating the steamed buns and not eating much food, Liu quickly put some meat and vegetables into her bowl. Everyone chatted and laughed and ate up all the food on the table in a short while! "Sister, our family has eaten up several days' worth of food for you and Chen Yan!"
Cao looked at the empty plate and said embarrassedly.
"What's the big deal? I wish you guys would come to my house for dinner more often. Things are different now than before. With Lin Xi leading everyone to make money, we have plenty of money!
Liu said with a smile on her face.
Lin Xi's family helped Liu and Chen Yan wash the dishes and put them away before saying goodbye to the mother and son!
Seeing that they were about to leave, Liu ran to the kitchen and wrapped up the remaining buns in a bundle, stuffed them into Lin Xi's arms, and said with a smile: "Lin Xi, tell Aunt Liu after you finish eating, and Aunt Liu will steam more for you!"
"Okay! Thank you, Auntie! Auntie, we are leaving now. You and Chen Yan should go in quickly and have some rest!"
Lin Xi said happily while holding the steamed bun.
"Girl, close the door!"
After Cao waved to Liu, the family walked towards their home, talking and laughing.
Liu and Chen Yan stood at the gate of the yard and watched Lin Xi's family leave until they could no longer see their figures, then they turned around and went into the yard.
"Mom, I haven't seen you so happy in a long time!"
Chen Yan looked at the bright smile on his mother's face and felt genuinely happy. He hadn't seen his mother so happy since his father passed away.
