The couple had fun during lunch.
After all, it was lunch provided by the parents and they should eat it well.
After lunch, the couple waved goodbye and left.
Officer Qiao was nowhere to be seen, and he would not bother seeing them off, nor would anyone else.
The couple loved the way it was handled, and left the Qiao Family smoothly.
As for Liu Yan… they had not seen her since they walked into the mansion, and Qiao Xuan seemed to have forgotten about her existence.
Shao Yunduan took hold of Qiao Xuan’s hands gently as he said in a mild yet irritated voice, “I will definitely hit the high level of the examination and they would never be able to bully you ever after that!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “They are just strangers in my eyes and their well-being has nothing to do with me! I believe that you will make it, but don’t get too stressed about it. Stay calm, just calm!”
You could never hit the goal if you were too hasty or stressed.
Shao Yunduan smiled and felt relaxed. “Don’t worry, I know what to do!”
He paused before adding. “Let’s go home!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes. “Okay, let’s go home!”
Soon it was Mid-autumn Day and they made mooncakes as well as many delicious dishes.
They killed the duck to make crispy duck, bought the lamb chops to make pan-fried lamb chops, as well as crispy roasted pork with the braised hoof and the golden brown and crispy skin.
The fish and shrimp in the river were quite plump at this time. Two days before the Mid-Autumn Day, Qiao Xuan and Shao Xiaoqi went to catch fish. They got a lot of fish, and they were lucky enough to get two soft-shell turtles.
On the Mid-Autumn Day, dishes such as braised eel segments, prawns in tomato sauce, boiled fish filets, and crispy small river fish were served on the table.
The whole family celebrated the day together.
What Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had not expected was that Yuezheng Xiao also had some presents delivered to them.
The gifts included exquisitely-made mooncakes at the store in the province, six jars of fine liquor as well as several other snacks and pastries, fresh fruits, lotus roots and water chestnuts.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan accepted them happily, especially lotus roots and water chestnuts, which Qiao Xuan was very satisfied with.
Lotus roots were delicious while making cold dishes, stewed soup, or even when they were fried. Water chestnuts could also be fried, but it was more delicious when they were steamed.
The fruits at Qiao Xuan’s yard had ripened too.
Jujubes, pears, grapes, pomegranates were the common ones, and she expected that Yuezheng Xiao would not be too interested in them, so she picked four large bergamots.
The bergamot, which grew up under the care of her superpower, were particularly stylish and beautiful. They were huge, with long and straight claws, beautiful at the first glance. The golden color simply had no flaws.
The scent given out was very nice too.
It held a special significance in Buddhism, prepared by madames and ladies of rich families. It was not easy to buy things like these.
In addition to the bergamot, the figs were also ripe, and the branches were covered with dense fruit. Qiao Xuan picked two full baskets and gave them to
Qu Shan.
There were fresh mushrooms and wooden ears as well.
All of them were produced at her home, not very easy to buy.
After the Mid-Autumn Day, the days became colder. The rice was growing well and could be harvested within a month’s time.
They got more than 10 kgs of honey wax from the honey in the floral field, which was enough for the lipsticks to be processed..
