Chapter 712: Such a rich life is so nice!

It was not until the old village chief raised his pipe and knocked on the table a few times that everyone slowly stopped.

"Okay, everyone in Qingshui Village is grateful. Keep this kindness in your heart and repay it with actions in the future. Saying a thousand words is not as good as doing one thing. Listen to Ran's words in the future. As long as she needs it, everyone should help her and don't shirk it!"

Everyone nodded quickly: "We will definitely repay Ranran."

The banquet officially began. While Qiao Dajiang was eating delicious dishes that even wealthy families might not be able to afford, he was listening to the old village chief at the same table introducing the origins of these dishes.

Chickens, ducks, sheep and rabbits were raised by everyone, all kinds of vegetables were grown by everyone, and mushrooms and fungus were picked by everyone in the mountains. Each family was assigned a task, and those who had more took more, and those who had less took less, until there was enough for the whole village to eat.

The fish are raised in the Qiao family pond, including common grass carp, carp, crucian carp, etc., as well as precious blue water fish.

In the past few months, the first batch of blue water fish have grown up. Old Mrs. Qiao took the lead and asked her sons to catch dozens of them from the fish pond so that all the villagers could taste this extremely delicious and rare fish meat.

Even the ordinary fish in the other pond, after being nourished by the spiritual spring water, had their meat quality and taste improved by several levels.

Even Chen, the owner of a big restaurant, praised the dish highly after eating it. He couldn't believe that he was eating just an ordinary fish that could be found everywhere.

After finishing the delicious meal, the villagers in charge of serving the food brought trays of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Qiao Dajiang was surprised: "Mom, how can there be so many fruits? And they are so good, they must have cost a lot of money, right?"

In his memory, villagers used to grow some fruits and vegetables to satisfy their cravings, but they were limited to the few types that everyone was familiar with.

He had never even seen the many kinds of fruits and vegetables on the table.

Old Mrs. Qiao pointed at her eldest granddaughter and said proudly:

"These are free, we grow them ourselves! The seeds and seedlings of these fruits and melons were all obtained by Ranran, and many varieties were bought from foreign merchants. This is our first time growing them, and we didn't expect that they can grow so well. The watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons in the melon field are all big and round, and they are pleasing to the eye! The fruit trees on the mountain are even more full of fruits, such as lychees, longans, papayas, grapes, kiwis, passion fruits, etc. Even an old woman like me has never seen or heard of many of them. Ranran said she wanted to grow them, so we planted them all. Now we can eat a variety of fresh fruits and melons every day. Even rich families are not so generous! Hahaha..."

Looking at his mother laughing happily, Qiao Dajiang also showed a proud and satisfied smile.

It’s so nice to have such a rich life!

After Mrs. Qiao finished laughing, she thought of something and said:

"I asked your brothers to take Dong'er and Nan'er to pick several baskets of fruits. Now that you are back, why don't you go visit your mother-in-law? Hui Niang has suffered so much in our family over the years. I am really sorry to my in-laws. Bring more gifts and make amends. Your mother-in-law and brother-in-law are not the kind of people who care about things, but we must be polite."

Qiao Dajiang accepted the teaching very humbly:

"Mom, I understand. I will take Hui Niang back to Yue's house later and apologize to my mother-in-law."

Zheng Huiniang looked at her husband distressedly:

"You just came back, don't you want to take a rest? You can go visit my mother tomorrow."

Qiao Dajiang looked at her, his eyes full of guilt and heartache:

"I'm not tired. I've been riding in a carriage all the way! I feel deeply guilty for taking so many years to find my parents-in-law. Now that I'm back, I have to hurry and apologize."

"Dad, Mom, let me go with you! I miss grandma, uncle, aunt, and Xiaolan too."

"Okay, okay, Ranran, let's go together! Bring Dong'er and Bei'er with you, and we'll go to your grandparents' house to give gifts."

Qiao Bei was very happy: "Yeah, I can go play with my cousin again! Mom, sister, can I bring Qiuqiu with me? Sister Lan'er must miss Qiuqiu too."

Qiao Bei habitually asked for consent from his mother and sister, and said that he was not very familiar with the father he had just "met".

Zheng Hui Niang wanted to refuse, but was afraid that her younger son would be sad, so she looked at her daughter.

Qiao Ran looked at the half-grown white tiger that was much bigger than Qiao Bei, and felt a little headache, but she couldn't bear to refuse her younger brother's request, so she nodded and agreed:

"Sure. But you have to restrain Qiuqiu and not let him run around. Qiuqiu is already a half-grown tiger and will scare people."

"Okay, I got it. Thanks, sis!"

Qiao Bei ran back home excitedly to pack up his and Qiuqiu's toys.
