Moreover, children's clothes are similar in style to adults' clothes, the only difference is the amount of fabric.

Having learned from her previous experience, Xu Qinghe laid the fabric on the bed and began to draw lines to prepare for cutting, showing much more courage than before.

Just as Xu Qinghe finished drawing the lines and was about to cut them, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Qinghe frowned, about to put down the scissors and walk outside, when she heard Shen Chengyue shout from the courtyard, "Who is it!"

Then Lan's voice came from outside, "It's me, Ping An's mother."

Upon hearing that it was Sister Lan, Shen Chengyue opened the door without saying a word, looking out as he did so.

Seeing that Shen Ping'an and Jiankangkang hadn't arrived, they immediately asked, "Where's Brother Ping'an?"

"Ping An went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and Jian Kang is playing at the village entrance. Do you want to come along?"

Shen Chengyue, who had just been feeling down, immediately brightened up upon hearing this. "Really?"

Sister Lan: "How could this be fake?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Chengyue excitedly ran into the house, calling out, "Auntie! Aunt Qinghe!"

Hearing the commotion, Xu Qinghe had already come out. Without saying a word, she said, "You can go, but you have to come back early."

Shen Chengyue: "Don't worry! We'll be back when we're done playing." After saying that, he grabbed Shen Chengchuan and ran off without looking back.

At the moment, only Aunt Lan and Xu Qinghe were left at home. After leading Aunt Lan into the house, Aunt Lan explained her purpose.

"I heard from Shen Zhi yesterday that you two are getting married in the next couple of days?"

Xu Qinghe was surprised that Sister Lan would ask this question. Her face flushed slightly, and she replied shyly, "Mm."

When Sister Lan saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile. "This is a good thing. Shen Zhi should have given you a proper status a long time ago."

"My mom asked me to come over and see if there's anything I can help with. I'll lend a hand if I can."

Xu Qinghe really didn't know much about marriage, but when she heard Lan's sister-in-law say that, she immediately asked the question she wanted to ask.

"I just don't know what needs to be prepared for a wedding, or are there any customs or traditions?"

"What's the procedure?"

Seeing Xu Qinghe's nervous expression, Sister Lan smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, the ceremonies in our countryside are simple, not as complicated as those in the city."

"When the time comes, you can go out from here and let Shen Zhi lead you around the village, just to show your face and let people know that you are Shen Zhi's wife."

"As for the rest, it's nothing. We're poor here, so we don't care much about the banquet. Just make whatever you have."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately thought of the banquet that day and said somewhat embarrassedly to Sister Lan, "Sister-in-law, could you please help me with the arrangements for the banquet that day?"

On their wedding day, she and Shen Zhi will both be the main characters, so they will definitely be too busy to cook. The task of cooking will definitely have to be left to someone else.

Upon hearing this, Sister Lan hesitated and asked Xu Qinghe somewhat tentatively, "Aren't you planning to ask your mother-in-law for help that day?"

Logically speaking, such an important event as marriage should be arranged by the parents. Since both of Shen's mother and father were present, it was fine for her to lend a hand. However, as the person in charge of the household, she really couldn't bypass her mother and father.

Xu Qinghe gave a bitter smile. "You know my relationship with them. I'd rather rely on myself than them."

Besides, she wouldn't dare hand over the family business to them; doing so would be like throwing good money after bad.

Sister Lan also considered the situation of both families, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since you trust me, then I will help you make arrangements."

"If anything goes wrong, just tell me."

Xu Qinghe readily agreed upon hearing this, and the two then began to discuss the details of the wedding.

A wedding should have some auspicious touches; the paper on the windows at home should be cut and pasted up, and the bright red decorations will look nice.

Next is the format of the banquet, which usually consists of two meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.

But since they have chickens and rabbits at home, Xu Qinghe plans to cook six meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.

The rabbit is cut in half; one half is braised and the other steamed. That makes two dishes.

We also prepared the chicken in two ways: one half stewed and the other half stir-fried, making two dishes in total.

Next up is stir-fried pork with wood ear mushrooms, a meat dish, and stir-fried pork with cucumber is also delicious.

Although these two dishes don't have as much meat as the previous ones, they are still considered a genuine meat dish in their case.

Next up are vegetarian dishes: tofu with scallions, stir-fried chicken oil mushrooms, fried peanuts, and cold green bean salad.

When Sister Lan looked at the dishes Xu Qinghe had ordered, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Is that really okay?"

Xu Qinghe asked, puzzled, "Is it okay?"

Sister Lan: "Great, even our village chief's son's wedding wasn't this well-organized."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately hesitated, because the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and she didn't want to be conspicuous right now.

But then she remembered that Shen Zhi's comrades would be coming, so Xu Qinghe made a decision, "Let's make it better! Shen Zhi's comrades will be coming that day, we can't let him lose face."

Sister Lan immediately understood what Xu Qinghe meant and didn't say anything more.

After discussing the dishes, tables, chairs, and staff with Xu Qinghe, Sister Lan left.

After seeing Sister Lan off, Xu Qinghe went back to her work, cutting and making clothes.

After all, the wedding is in two days, and she and Shen Zhi will both have new clothes to wear. They can't let the two children still be wearing old clothes!

Just as Xu Qinghe was busy with her feet barely touching the ground, Shen Zhi also stopped running around.

"These bastards, if you're going to beat them up, then beat them up properly, otherwise just stay put."

"What the hell is this? They come to launch sneak attacks every few days, and I'm constantly running away from home."

Compared to Chen Feng's anger, Shen Zhi was much calmer, because he knew that the enemy was trying to test their patience.

Chen Feng stood in the room cursing for a long time, but seeing that Shen Zhi was only changing his shoes, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Shen Zhi: "What are you saying? Saying they're doing this on purpose, deliberately making us impatient so they can do something real and wipe us all out in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's face immediately darkened. "Are you serious?"

Shen Zhi didn't answer his question, but only warned, "Make sure your men are alert. Whether it's true or not, they need to be on guard."

Chen Feng nodded cautiously, "I know." He then looked around and asked softly, "Do you think they're making such a fuss because they know something?"

Shen Zhi frowned, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Know what?"

Chen Feng immediately looked at him like he was an idiot. "What else could it be? It's about what's going on up there! I heard the Third Prince and the Second Prince are fighting tooth and nail, it's a really ugly situation!"

"I wonder how the Crown Prince is doing. He's such a good person! How could he betray his country and defect to the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi's face immediately darkened, and he warned him, "Do you want to lose your head? Saying everything."
