Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 114. Knocking

Although we can’t say it’s that great, it’s still considered decent in their village. You could say it’s not as good as above, but more than enough for below. All of this is thanks to the blessings of their father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law.

So, they’ve always been grateful to their father-in-law and mother-in-law’s family. If it weren’t for the limited conditions at home, they would definitely have brought more things to pay respect to their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"It’s good that you have filial piety, but next time, don’t bring so many things. As long as you live well, that’s the best thing," the son-in-law’s words made the old flower lady feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and she chided jokingly.

"Got it." To prevent her mother from nagging endlessly, Hua Fen quickly nodded. However, her mother’s words went in one ear and out the other, and she didn’t really take them to heart.

Hua Fang on the side was the same; she nodded, but whatever she does depends on them.

Of course, the old flower lady knew the children were just being perfunctory, but she didn’t say much more.

There’s no denying that when she saw the things her daughter and son-in-law brought and felt the children’s filial piety, parents understand this feeling well, it’s really happy, an indescribable happiness.

"Alright, old lady, stop nagging and quickly go prepare lunch. The kids are tired from the journey."

Seeing his wife finished speaking, the old flower man spoke up, looking at the people in the room with eyes full of smiles.

"Right, right," too busy being happy, almost forgot the ribs are stewing in the pot, and the chopped rabbit meat needs to be stir-fried in advance, prepared to turn around and walk out but stopped when looking towards his son.

"Chengtian, give your sister, brother-in-law Zeng Yi some roasted sweet potatoes to start with." Then he looked towards his grandsons, "Don’t just stand there. Yi’er, Li’er, Jin’er, hurry and let your wives sit by the basin to warm up. If my granddaughters-in-law and great-grandchildren get cold, you’ll be in trouble," after saying that, he glanced at them, but couldn’t help but laugh himself first.

Then he personally took roasted sweet potatoes for several of his granddaughters-in-law to feed their children, teasing a few little ones, feeling satisfied, and headed towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, the big and second sisters hurriedly followed their mother, and a few cousins also wanted to follow but were stopped by the old flower lady claiming the kitchen space was small.

Madam Qi, after greeting everyone well, had already returned to the kitchen a step ahead, after all, the fire and pot couldn’t be left unattended.

Hua Jin, being the only woman in the family free, took on the role of accompanying several cousin-in-laws, and a few noisy children who wouldn’t stop.

Although it’s really lively, when the kids start making a fuss, everything turns upside down, looking at the cousins with children, Hua Jin genuinely admired them.

If she were to bring children, Hua Jin felt she truly couldn’t handle it.

After looking at various dishes in the room, she took the cousin-in-laws to see the rabbits in the wood storage, surprisingly, the noisy little kids seemed to transform into different children once they saw those cute little rabbits, instantly becoming well-behaved. A few kids stayed with the rabbits, unwilling to leave, for quite a while, which gave some respite to the cousin-in-laws, finally not having to constantly keep an eye on these little ancestors.

Hua Chengtian, on the other hand, was in the main room chatting with two brothers-in-law and father. Seeing the interest of the two brothers-in-law in indoor vegetable growing, Hua Chengtian carefully explained, especially the key points that need attention.

Right now, as it’s just after the New Year and still some time before the spring planting, starting now is perfect as it will be ready when the weather warms up, which is also when green vegetables are scarce, and they can make a profit.

Not only that but he also promised them a few rabbits for each family, and without holding anything back, shared all his insights on raising rabbits with the two brothers-in-law.

Hua Chengtian hoped both sisters’ families could live better and didn’t hide anything.

As the sisters’ families lived better, their parents would also lead more comfortable lives.

As for whether having more rabbits would affect prices, Hua Chengtian wasn’t worried at all. The whole Xinyue County is enormous, so there’s no worry about sales.

Unintentionally, the father and daughter seemed to have thought of the same thing.

In the kitchen, it was also bustling. The mothers were chatting while working, and soon two large tables full of dishes were prepared.

Such a big table of dishes, mostly meat, cost a lot of Silver, making the two sisters heartache.

They were also very touched. Every year, their parents do their best to prepare such a big table of delicious food for them, which is the love of parents. All they can do is be more filial to their parents in everyday life.

Their natal family has always been fairly good, but the changes in the past few months have been significant. They could tell from their brother bringing things over every so often.

Thanks to the blessings of their parents and brother and sister-in-law, their life has also been more relaxed in the past few months. Not only do they have more money on hand, but more importantly, their diet has improved, and the children are getting some meat on their bones.

Thinking of this, the two sisters couldn’t help but feel grateful again to their sister-in-law, especially the very timely delivery of cotton that kept them warm.

They understand in their hearts that no matter how good the brother is, having a good sister-in-law is even better; otherwise, if there were constant fuss, even if the brother wanted to help them, he would have to think carefully.

"Sister-in-law, I thank you for sending over the cotton, it really helped us a lot," Hua Fen said, getting to this topic and hastily thanking.

Hua Fang nodded in agreement from the side, "Yes, second sister also thanks you, you don’t know, because of the cotton for making padded jackets, Sheng’er’s health has improved a lot this year, we even dare to let him go out occasionally now."

Thinking about how her grandson suffered less this year, Hua Fang was filled with gratitude towards her sister-in-law.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what are you saying? We’re family; who else would we think of if not you when we have good things? Don’t you also think of mom and dad and us when you do? Saying thank you is too formal!" Seeing the two sisters appreciative made Qi happy, and she fondly looked at them and said.

Watching the harmonious relationship between her daughter-in-law and daughters, the old flower lady smiled constantly.

Their good relationship made the two elders feel happy and comfortable.

Of course, although she loved them all, the old flower lady always knew how to prioritize. After all, it’s the son who will take care of them in old age, and it’s the daughter-in-law who has always been by her side. Following the daughters’ words, she smiled at the daughter-in-law and said, "They should thank you."

Madam Qi quickly dished out the food from the pot and kept it warm on the stovetop, playfully glancing at her mother-in-law, "Mom, why do you say that too?"

"Mom is right, sister-in-law, Chengtian is lucky to have married you as his blessing from past lives."

"Eldest sister..." Qi was genuinely embarrassed, but indeed agreed a bit in her heart with the elder sister-in-law’s words. If she didn’t have good fortune, how could she marry into the Hua family as a daughter-in-law?

"Alright, alright, just remember your sister-in-law’s good heart," the mother smiled in satisfaction. "Mom is truly comforted. It’s not in vain that your brother and your sister-in-law have been so kind to you. There’s no need for extra words. Mom just wants you all to always love each other like now and not do anything against your brother and sister-in-law; otherwise, your dad and I won’t forgive you."

While knocking some sense into her two daughters, the old flower lady was also soothing the heart of her daughter-in-law. Sure enough, upon hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Qi’s smile became even broader.

"Mom, what are you saying? Don’t you understand your own daughters? Rest assured, we’re not ungrateful people," Hua Fen said, speaking on behalf of the two sisters, who hugged their mother clingingly, not caring if their hands were wet.
