After she spoke, Lin Xiaoye raised her glass: "I'd like to give a toast to Big Brother Hu and Sister-in-Law first."

Lin Xiaoye raised her head and downed a glass of wine. All of a sudden, her face immediately contorted.

This was the first time she had drank this kind of liquor and it's really spicy.

Seeing Lin Xiaoye's expression, everyone laughed.

Sister Hu then said: "Sister, you are too polite. From now on, our two families are one. If you need anything, don't be polite and just say it."

Lin Xiaoye nodded: "Alright then, that's a promise. Don't just sit there, let's eat before the dishes turn cold."

Gangzi was the first to start, he grabbed a piece of meat and then put it into his mouth. His eyes instantly widened.

"It's delicious!"

He immediately took another bite, and then another.

Seeing that her own son only cared about eating meat, Hu Sister-in-Law felt that something was amiss.

"Gangzi, eat less meat. Why don't you give Xiaoya two pieces?"

Gangzi smacked his lips that were dripping with oil twice. In a flash, he turned to look at Hu Sister-in-Law.

"Mother, have a taste. This meat is really delicious. It's a hundred times better than what you've cooked."

After saying that, he couldn't help but take another piece and quickly put it in his mouth. Then, he took advantage of the time when he was still chewing to give another piece to Xiaoya.

As for Xiaoya, she looked at the meat in her bowl and kept swallowing her saliva. Looking at how Gangzi was eating with oil dripping from his mouth, she then picked up the chopsticks and placed a piece of meat into her mouth as well.

She knew that the taste was very good, but she rarely had any meat. Now that she had eaten this meat, she couldn't help but feel that the food cooked by Lin Xiaoye was really really really delicious.

At this time, Hu Sister-in-Law was not too happy seeing her son talking about her like this in front of so many people, she immediately revealed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong? You don't like the food your mother cooks, right? Fine, you don't need to eat the food I cook from now on."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Xiaoye looked at everyone's happy expressions, then looked at Huo Li and then at Little Mochi in front of her. She suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

She has been in this world for quite a while now, and from the beginning, she didn't know anything, but now, she can make money relying on her own strength and support such a large family. Although she gets up early and sleeps late, she doesn't feel tired and only thinks that it was very substantial.

"Um, Sister, why is there a piece of land next to your house?"

Just as she was thinking, Hu Sister-in-Law stood up and looked at the small piece of land beside the yard, which was covered with grass.

"Why did you cover it with so much grass? What is this for?" Old Hu also doubtfully asked and walked over in the end.

Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Isn't New Year coming soon? Old Huo and I don't have land, but we can't just buy everything in the town, no? I saw that the land in front of my door is empty anyway, so I let my husband plow it a little."

With that, Lin Xiaoye smiled at Huo Li.

Huo Li's heart skipped a beat. He unexpectedly felt that her smile looked pretty.

Old Hu's voice was then heard, "I didn't expect Old Huo to be so capable. He's really something. He's good at hunting and can also do so much work."

After saying that, Old Hu raised his hand and patted Old Huo's shoulder.

"Look at Old Huo, then look at you, you have to learn from Old Huo more, otherwise you won't be able to do anything all day."

Hearing his wife's words, Old Hu was displeased.

"What do you mean I can't do anything? Old Huo's wife is indeed capable, alright, I'll have to follow Old Huo from now on."

Then, Old Hu walked in front of Huo Li and hit him on the shoulder.

However, Huo Li's expression was cold, as well as his entire body. Old Hu quickly took his hands away in shock.

Seeing that, Lin Xiaoye instantly looked at Huo Li and couldn't help but let out a 'Pfft'.

It wasn't wrong to say that he was an iceberg.

Unexpectedly, Huo Li threw her a cold light look, Lin Xiaoye was immediately shocked and quickly buried herself into her bowl.

No matter what, although he was an iceberg, he was still a mountain. She couldn't play with fire since they were still living under the same roof.

"Sister, your vegetable field is pretty good. It's still alright even if it's winter right now. However, when summer comes, it'll probably be difficult to manage this vegetable field of yours."

Old Hu's wife said.

Lin Xiaoye regained her senses and asked: "Why would Hu Sister-in-Law say that?"

After all, she wasn't familiar with farming.

Hu Sister-in-Law said: "How could you not know? Don't you usually water your vegetable garden? You can't run to the river several times a day, can you?"

Lin Xiaoye was suddenly enlightened, then she quickly stood up.

"Sister Hu, if you didn't mention it, I would've forgotten that it was indeed troublesome to fetch water, but I don't have a well here, what should I do?"

"We can dig a hole." Huo Li's voice sounded.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned. In a flash, she saw Huo Li stood up and walked to a spot not far from the courtyard. He looked at it carefully and said, "Let's dig here."

Old Hu immediately nodded his head, "I think digging a well is a good idea. Aren't those people, who were too far away from the river, just dug a well in their own courtyards?"

Hu Sister-in-Law immediately smiled and said: "That's correct, since you have decided to dig a well, let my husband help you dig. When the time comes, my husband will go call some people in the village to help. The more people doing the work, the more lively it would be."

Lin Xiaoye's mood immediately improved as she listened to this: "I'll listen to Hu Sister-in-Law. I'll be troubling Big Brother Hu and Hu Sister-in-Law for this matter tomorrow. When the time comes, come and eat with us here and I'll go catch some shrimp and fish for everyone in the river."

"Good!" Old Hu quickly replied with a laugh.

When they heard that they could still eat the food made by Lin Xiaoye, everyone was extremely happy.

After the few of them finished eating, Lin Xiaoye sent the Hu family off, she then gave the packed food to Xiaoya to bring to Wang-shi. Afterwards, she began to clean up the table.

As Lin Xiaoye was tidying up, Little Mochi ran over and stood in front of her, looking at the plates and bowls in her hands.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned.

"Are you going to help Mother do the work?"

Little Mochi nodded and his round and bright eyes were staring at the bowl in her hands, seemingly filled with expectation.

Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Alright, then just help Mother carry this plate to the kitchen. Don't fall."

When Little Mochi took the plate, he immediately grinned and revealed his small teeth, which were as white as pearls.

Lin Xiaoye fell even more in love with her son.

What a good child. If it wasn't for that damned original owner's previous actions, this child would probably be very lively and adorable.

Merry Christmas everyone!
