Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 307 The Su He family arranged for everyone to have dinner together

Su He's parents and brothers were all busy there, watching a group of children coming over and greeting them warmly. The rooms were all equipped with large kangs, so seven or eight children could live in one room, and it would be no problem for a dozen to squeeze in.

Su He's mother let them live in three separate rooms. The children were so happy because this place was much better than their own home.

Ye Jingchen was also among them. Since he was the oldest among the boys, he was now arranging for his younger brothers and sisters to live separately and let them each find their own bed.

Su He's eldest brother Su Feng and the other three also helped the children pour water. There was boiled hot water on the table, and whoever was thirsty could pour it out and drink it.

There was a large basin of washing water on the stone bench outside the house, so anyone who wanted to wash their hands or face could go over and wash. There were two large buckets of water next to it, so they could be replaced with clean water at any time.

After Ye Jingchen had arranged everything for his brothers and sisters, he walked to the front of Su He's family, bent down and bowed deeply to thank the Su family for their help.

He thanked them, "I am Jingchen, my father is Yanzhi. Thank you Uncle Su and Aunt Su for your help. I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers and sisters."

Su He's father quickly stepped forward to help him up. Looking at the resolute face and straight back of the young boy, he admired this young man very much. He was more mature and stable than his own children. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts. His every move was so powerful and firm.

Su He's father took the opportunity to ask him: "Jingchen, who is your martial arts teacher? It seems that the teacher's martial arts are very good."

Ye Jingchen smiled and said, "The younger generations in our family all learn from Uncle Ye Cheng. He was left to us by our grandfather."

Su He's father nodded and said with a smile: "So it's someone from our family. It seems that the children of the Ye family are all practicing martial arts! When you have time, you can spar with Su He's brothers and sisters. They are also practicing martial arts."

Ye Jingchen smiled and said, "That's great. I've heard from my father a long time ago that the four brothers and sisters are not only good at studying, but also good at martial arts. It's a good opportunity for us to exchange ideas."

Su He asked the kitchen to prepare more food before they came, because she knew that these children usually did not have enough to eat.

She smiled and said, "The meal in the kitchen should be ready. Let's eat first. We still have plenty of time in the afternoon."

Su He's parents and brothers asked the children to sit at the long table. This was a table that Su He had specially made. It could accommodate everyone for meetings, and they didn't have to squat to eat.

If there are more people, we can put more tables together. The yard is big enough, so there is no problem with adding a few rows on the side. It was also the first time for the children to sit at such a table. They smiled without saying anything and made faces at each other.

The Su He siblings helped bring out several pots of rice and dishes from the kitchen, placed them on the stone table at the side, and scooped the food into the prepared bowls one by one. Ye Jingchen and several older children also helped bring the food to the table and distributed chopsticks to everyone.

The little kids stared at the white rice and fragrant meat dishes with shining eyes. However, the children were well-behaved. Although they kept swallowing saliva, their hands were placed down and no one picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Su He walked over with a bowl in hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's time to eat. If it's not enough, you can add more after you finish eating. There is still plenty in the kitchen."

The little brats all looked at Ye Jingchen, who just happened to come over with a bowl in his hand. He smiled and said, "Miss Su He asked everyone to eat. You must be hungry, so hurry up and eat!"

He handed the bowl of rice to the brother closest to him and said with a smile, "Everyone should say thank you first!"

The children all said in unison: "Thank you, sister!..."

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt..."

"Thank you, big brother..."

"Thank you and your family..."

Su He's parents smiled and said, "Okay, you are all good children. Come and eat. You must eat your fill. We cooked a lot of food today."

Su He's parents were not lying. They were still making cakes and steamed buns in the kitchen. They were afraid that the soldiers in the city would not have enough food, so they could send some over.
