Chapter 1056: Good News at Home

. These methods were taught to the beast tribes by messengers of the Beast God as they traveled among the various clans.When the Lion Clan's shaman communicated with shamans from other beast clans, th...After returning to the market with Da Bao, Lian Yi bought a bunch of things, all New Year's goods. In this era, preparing for the Chinese New Year had to start at least three months in advance. After all, resources were scarce, and buying things not only required money but also tickets. Currently, the country's issued vouchers had not completely exited the historical stage.

Before the ripples, Lian Yi also had money, but only enough for tickets. So she only bought some candy. Now she sold one of her embroidered works, to be precise, the original owner's bottom-of-the-box embroidery.

Before her husband passed away, she was timid and lived in a restrictive environment. Even though she possessed skills, she didn't dare to display them openly. After her husband's unexpected death, she raised four children alone. To maintain a low profile, she only took on jobs like weaving clothes for others and completely abandoned embroidery out of fear of being reported.

But as a tasker, she knows the general direction of this world and is clear that in the near future, her craft will become an intangible cultural heritage, with high value in the future. That's why she chose such a day to bring her work here to test the waters.

The result was much better than she had imagined. After completing the transaction with John, the overseas store also reached a verbal agreement with Ripples. Her embroidery shop would accept all of her work and offered good prices based on the size and difficulty of each piece.

Lu Anli watched as the two generations, empty-handed, entered the mall and then came out with large and small bags. He suddenly felt that he had set the price too low this time, but adhering to the principle of attracting repeat customers, he still went up to greet them, helped put things away, and then asked with a smile:

"Big sister, you've really gone all out."

"That's right, taking your car is so expensive, and it's not easy to come here, so I bought a little extra, just enough to take back in one trip. Your sister won't treat you badly. Let me treat you to lunch at the State-run Restaurant!"

Ripple smiled happily.

"Oh! Sister, you're so straightforward. I've found a true friend in you."

Lu Anli immediately grinned, slammed his foot on the gas pedal, and drove towards the state-run restaurant in the city.

After the three entered the restaurant, they discovered that there were quite a few people inside. It was just about mealtime, and Liàn Yī directly said to Lù n Lí:

"Xiaolu, go grab three seats first. I'll go get some food."

Okay!

Since there was free lunch available, Lu An readily agreed and went to find an empty seat.

He ordered a plate of meat-slurry noodles, a plate of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried meat shreds in snow, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables. He also ordered four ounces of rice. After paying with money and tickets, he went to leave with Lu An.

"Big sister, over here!"

Lu Anli saw the ripples of the dishes, and immediately waved his hand.

The three of them had a hearty lunch and left the restaurant with full bellies. Dàbǎo, still not satisfied, said:

"The beef noodle soup is delicious!"

"Bigbao likes it, and Mommy can also make it. When you want to eat it someday, Mommy will make it for you."

"Thank you, grandma!"

"I think the braised pork belly is the most fragrant, with its caramelized color, soft and chewy texture, and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. I almost wanted to swallow my tongue!"

Lu An's departure left a lingering taste.

"There's no meat that isn't fragrant."

Ripple chuckled with amusement.

"Older sister, where else are you going Or are you heading straight back to QingShan Town" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Anli took the initiative to ask.

"I promised my grandson that I would buy him a little book from the bookstore.”

Rins immediately laughed and said.

Okay, let's go now.

Ripple bought Big Treasure several comic books, including ones about idioms and others about life knowledge. They are all suitable for Big Treasure's age group to learn from.

After a whole day of sightseeing, the elderly and grandchild were finally sent back home by Lu Anli. Luckily, it wasn't near quitting time or school dismissal, so no one in the alley noticed the grandparent and child carrying large and small bags as they moved back home.

When Qing Hai and Qing Mei got back from school, Lian Yi had already organized everything. Outside, there were only some snacks and candies left. It didn't seem out of place at all; she didn't intend to tell anyone about selling her embroidered work.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to celebrate our child's 100th day. Qingshan brought Li Juan to consult with Lianyi about planning a celebration for the occasion.

"Mom, Juan and I have talked it over. We'd like to invite relatives and friends over during the Chinese New Year so everyone can meet Beibei. Plus, we've moved into a new place, so it's also time for the uncles to come visit."

Song Qingchuan said.

After a moment's thought, Lianyi said:

“If you want to have a celebration, I’m not against it. But I suggest keeping it simple, since you just had a baby and bought a house. Logically, your hands should be tied right now. If you go all out, it might attract some envious people.”

Besides, it hasn't even been half a year since your elder brother passed away. Although there is compensation money, some people still want to take advantage of the situation.

So my suggestion is, you each ask your closest colleagues and friends, plus your three uncles, and that should be enough.

Ripple is just afraid of trouble, but this is the first social event for the couple after they moved out on their own. She still supports them.

Song Qingchuan looked at Li Juan, and Li Juan also nodded in agreement with her mother-in-law's suggestion.

"Mom is right, let's ask relatives and close colleagues and friends. This is our first time doing things independently, and we still need Mom's guidance."

"Alright, I have some ideas. You can prepare some dishes in advance. I'll hire a chef for you. Just make a menu and list the meat, vegetables, eggs, and everything else you need. Make sure to borrow the tables, chairs, and benches beforehand as well."

Ripple had talked about all the things that were needed beforehand for about half an hour.

"That's all I can think of for now. You guys go back and brainstorm, see if you've missed anything. It's best to list it out, check off each item as you prepare it. A good memory is no substitute for a well-kept record."

"Mom is right, that way both me and Juan can estimate the approximate cost. Let's start preparing now."

Song Qingchuan rubbed his hands and said.

The ripples took a box from their own cupboard, took out ten ten-yuan bills, and handed them to their son.

"This is my heart's intention as your grandmother. You plan how to use it yourselves, and I'll save the rest for Beibei for her schooling in the future."

"Mom, we're good! We have some in our hands."

Qingchuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Now it's like standing on your own two feet. How could I be embarrassed to ask Mom for money again"

"Just take it. This is for Beibei, and you have no right to refuse. Besides, I don't want to worry about it anymore. You guys better figure it out yourselves. If you don't understand something, come ask me."

Ripples focuses on making things convenient by handling the money, so naturally they couldn't refuse.

At first glance, the couple saw that their mother-in-law (mother) was preparing to be a hands-off manager. However, she also provided financial support, so they were actually pleased. It proved that their mother trusted them.

The two of them, having received the money, happily went to prepare their daughter's 100-day banquet. Strictly speaking, Baby Beibei was already over four months old, so calling it a "100-day" celebration was just an excuse.

As the couple began preparing for their daughter's 100-day celebration, Song Qinghai mysteriously sought out Lianyi to share a secret.

"Mom, I saw my sister walking with a male classmate after school."

"How many times have you seen it"

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I saw it three times. I don't know about the other times."

"Are you sure it's the same male classmate"ndon Gao Yang, making him the scapegoat so he could escape with his son.A powerful evil spirit appeared beside Gao Yang, whom he called his contracted spirit. Guo Huai then temporarily suppressed the...
