“Yunduan is excellent. This is what a learned man should be like. Since you are all good friends, we should prepare some presents for them too!”

Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled. “You are right, Mom!”

They had a lot of space in the new house. They had a place to park the wagon and hold the horse. So, Qu Shan and the coachman spent the night at their house and left the following day.

Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang shared the presents with Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni and Taotao, and they were all smiling and thanking Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan when they heard how they got the presents.

Ms. Xu was again feeling lucky not to have split hairs with Fifth Sister-in-law when she was first married. Otherwise she would never have enjoyed any of this.

Fresh mutton was the most delicious. For dinner, Qiao Xuan made pan-fried lamb chops, roasted lamb spine in sauce, and stewed mutton soup with yam.

The roast suckling pig was cut into half and served on the table. The skin was ruddy, crispy and the meat was tender, fat but not greasy. Every bite was a pleasure.

They all spoke highly of the main dish which Qiao Xuan liked too.

It was a big dish that was not easy to prepare, and it was not sold at ordinary restaurants. Only when regular customers in famous restaurants placed a deposit in advance and made a reservation would they cook it. It was a rare chance that this dish could be made.

But roast suckling pig might not be easy to get. They could use pork belly to make roast pork, same crispy in skin and tender in meat.

The following morning, Qiao Xuan had the presents prepared and asked Qu Shan to take them back with him.

The gifts included homemade smoked meat, sausage and smoked fish, fresh shiitake mushrooms, fungus, and white fungus picked from the fungus shed, as well as dried chestnuts and honey from the mountains. There were some dried vegetables such as winter bamboo shoots, dried radishes, and dried beans packed as well. All of them were home-produced.

Qu Shan accepted the presents with a smile. They left early in the morning with warm steamed buns stuffed with mutton and green onions.

The first section of the family was so friendly. They had steamed buns the night before, and heated them up early in the morning for them to eat on the road. They also boiled a few eggs, candies, sunflower seeds and other snacks for them to use on the road. Each of them were given red envelopes of two liang each.

So, they were never afraid of traveling this far. In fact, they looked forward to the trip here.

They always had good things to eat!

The steamed buns with filling and the lamb spine and ribs were all delicious.

Seeing wagons leaving and coming to the first section of the family, the villagers were all used to the scene. They could not take a look inside the wagons due to the big house the first section of the family were living in at the moment.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle did not dare to come to the door, since they offended Ms. Fang a while ago.

So, they could only make some complaints at home.

Widow Sun was even more jealous than them. Whenever she saw how the first section of the family got better than before, she felt more jealous.

If she had made her daughter marry Shao Yunduan, she would have a lot to show off now.

But now she could only watch as a spectator at this moment.

Widow Sun could not stand it any more. She met her lover on the sly, urging him to deal with the first section of the family.

“I hate Ms. Fang. She is so proud now. I am so annoyed. I really need to get it over with!”

Widow Sun’s lover was very annoyed by her pestering. He nodded and said,

“Okay, okay, I will think of some way to deal with them. Don’t worry about it!”

“Remember what you said, or I will not give you a good time!”

“Okay, okay I got it now, I do…”
