Liu Huan was so angry that he put the one in his hand on the bed and let the two children cry side by side.

Qiu Rong and the other person outside heard the sound and came into the room. They picked up one and coaxed her, feeling distressed: "Master, the young master and the young lady are still young, they will cry and get hurt."

Liu Huan didn't take it seriously, "I cried a lot when I was a kid, but I didn't get hurt."

Qiu Ju naturally didn't believe it, "Master, could it be that you still remember about your baby?"

Ever since the two little kids were born, they started calling them masters because it was easier to distinguish the little masters.

Logically speaking, one should not remember things before the age of four, but Liu Huan could remember them, and most of them were related to Su Yi.

Although it is bitter to think about it now, I have also let it go. As a person who has died once more, love is nothing.

The two little ones stopped crying when they were held. They had been more than a month old and had not grown up yet, especially the little sister, who was still skinny, small and red. When she was born, people thought she would not be able to keep her alive. Liu Huan thought of the kangaroo parenting she had seen on TV, so she let her stick to her all day long, and she managed to get through the first month safely.

"Master, the things for the full moon banquet have been prepared. The villagers have been invited, and the aunts have agreed to come to help tomorrow."

Because Liu Huan was in a coma and the two children were weak, we didn't hold a third day bath. We didn't hold a housewarming party when we came, but we might as well hold one now.

It can be regarded as officially becoming a member of Heshui Village.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past month."

Liu Huan was glad that they followed him, otherwise he would be helpless.

"Master, what are you talking about? Following you is our blessing."

Before leaving, Qiu Rong asked someone to bring all her savings of the past two years back home. She believed that her mother could take good care of her younger brothers and sisters, so she was not worried at all.

As for Qiu Ju, she didn't want to go back to that family that favored boys over girls.

The child in his arms started to cry. He was really hungry and aggrieved. The three of them ended the topic and went about their respective duties, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The next morning, the village head's wife, Zhang, came with the aunts and daughters-in-law of the village to help. Looking at the pork in the kitchen, she smacked her lips and said, "All of this is used for cooking. No one should keep some?"

The pork was bought and slaughtered at the village chief's wife's house yesterday. The village chief's family was willing to feed the pigs, so the pork was more than 200 kilograms. The village chief's wife was very happy to receive the money, and she never expected that Liu Huan would use it all for cooking.

Qiu Ju explained: "These are not much. Compared with the care that the aunties in the village give us, these are nothing."

An aunt said, "It would be good to save some fat to make oil and lactation. It's a waste to eat the pork leg together."

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "My master doesn't eat fatty meat. It's hot in this weather and it's not good to keep the meat for too long. Aunts, just cook it as you see fit."

The village head's wife knew what Liu Huan meant, and waved her hand, "Alright, what are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and get it done. It's a good opportunity for you to bring your family over for a snack later."

July is still two months away from the autumn harvest, and some poor families have already started to tighten their belts to make ends meet. They have changed from eating dry food to eating thin food, and only eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

Farmers like to eat fatty meat, and they believe that fatty meat is more nutritious, so they will be very greedy when they see fatty meat.

They rolled up their sleeves and began to process the meat skillfully, and some even killed chickens.

Those who didn't know how to cook meat prepared other vegetables, all of which were bought from the aunties in the village. Everyone was very happy because the food they sold could now be eaten by themselves.

"Miss Qiuju, where is the rice? I'll cook it first."

Qiu Ju pointed to the two bags beside her and said, "Over there, one is rice and the other is flour. Aunts, please make it based on the number of people. We don't know how many people there are in the village."

The aunt opened it and saw, "Oh, it's still polished rice and white flour."

An aunt who was preparing vegetables sighed, "My family bought two kilograms of polished rice for the New Year, it's so expensive."

The village head's wife joked: "Okay, today we celebrate the New Year together."

The village head's wife said so, so the aunt didn't bother to start counting the number of people washing rice. The village head's wife looked at the bag of flour and said, "Cook less rice, and make some meat buns and dumplings."

This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Hearing the noise coming from outside, everyone went out to see several men from the village carrying two loads of fish in, including the village chief.

The village head's wife smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Look, the fish are here."

The village chief said, "Please take good care of it. This fish is very valuable."

Fish are difficult to catch in Heshui Village, so all the fish are bought from the dock. Each crucian carp weighs two or three pounds, which is extremely expensive. Only the village chief and a few slightly wealthier families in the village can afford them.

Seeing that the fish was still alive and kicking, the village head's wife said, "Then kill the fish before you leave. Kill it far away so that it won't be scattered everywhere."

The village chief had the fish carried out again, and soon many children gathered to watch the fun. When they heard that there were fish and buns, they stayed and just hung around the door of Liu's house.

Liu Huan asked Ermo to take out the malt candy he had bought and distribute it to everyone. The happy children jumped up and down outside, and only went away after the village head's wife went out and scolded them.

"Auntie, let them play outside, it's okay."

The village head's wife said, "They are just little kids making a lot of noise. How can a baby stand it?"

"Let me see the children." She teased the two children with her hands and asked, "These two children are so handsome. Have you named them?"

Liu Huan said: "I gave her a nickname, Anzhi Anran. It means to make the best of whatever comes and let nature take its course."

"This name is good. It's not like those babies in the village. They are all ugly. People who can read can give them nice names."

The two chatted about the village for a long time until the child started crying again.

The village head's wife stood up and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go out and watch them. Don't let them ruin the good stuff."

Liu Huan thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. I asked someone to buy some ginger and wine. Pour some into the fish when cooking to remove the fishy smell."

The village head's wife scolded, "My family will also be eating later. Why bother you? I was wondering why you prepared so much ginger. I'll watch you cook it later."

After working for several hours, a dozen aunts finally prepared all the meals, including fish, meat and chicken, but few vegetarian dishes.

He also thoughtfully prepared crucian carp soup for Liu Huan.

The villagers brought bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs from their homes. There were too many people to sit in the yard, so the men sat outside. Ermo, as the only man in Liu Huan's brother's family, accompanied the male guests outside the yard, while Liu Huan accompanied the female guests inside.

Liu Huan said a few words casually, and everyone gave their blessings to the children and started eating. The adults were fine, but the children, especially, were so happy to see the table full of meat and vegetables, and they ate with their mouths drooling.

The fish was served last because we were afraid that if it was served right at the beginning, everyone would swallow it whole and get stuck with fish bones.

"The last fish dish is here. Everyone, please eat slowly. The adults will pick out the fish bones for the children before they can eat it."

Everyone had almost finished eating, and eating fish now seemed much more elegant.

He stopped eating only when he couldn't eat any more. Liu Huan shared the rest with the village head's wife and her family, even giving each of them a hot bun.

At the end, there was some meat left, which was all given to the village aunt who helped with cooking and cleaning.

The villagers remembered this banquet for a long time, and they couldn't help but miss it every time they thought of it.
