My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After June entered, the heat in Jinling City became a bit unbearable.

Du Jingyi wanted to go back to Sui'an City several times. Although the summer was just as hot, the summer in Sui'an City was still a little more relaxed than here.

The Gu family has its own dedicated ice cellar, so it is not troublesome to use ice in each yard. However, once the cost of making and using ice comes up, the expenses of the entire Gu family have increased a lot.

Although the Gu family has a great business, Du Jingyi still feels that nearly 30% of the expenditure is wasteful. After much thought, he finally came up with a good idea.

There are many children at home, and it would be troublesome to take care of them separately. It is better to separate three separate rooms in the dense forest in the backyard, connect them together, and use ice.

When the heat wave is about to start, you can take the children there. After the heat wave is the most severe, they can go back to rest separately. This way, the children can have time to play together, and the maximum use of ice in each yard is also the time. Averted.

When she first came up with this idea, she went to have a chat with her eldest aunt.

She felt great too!

"In the past, we were just a few lonely old women at home, so the ice cubes were not wasted. Now that there are a lot of children, some of them are indeed used more. I'll go talk to the brothers and sisters in the other rooms. I don't want to embarrass you. .”

The eldest aunt has been a householder and naturally knows the difficulties of running a household. Even though there are so many flowers and flowers at the moment, money is still better spent on the cutting edge. So after hearing this, she consciously stepped out to block Du Jingyi.

Even if everyone was unhappy, it was only for her and would not involve Du Jingyi. How could Du Jingyi not know about this good intention?

"The eldest aunt is serious. Since it is my decision, I will naturally not let the eldest aunt stand up for me. It doesn't matter. I will tell the other aunts and aunts, and they will not embarrass me. .”

Du Jingyi has a sweet mouth, and everything she says makes people feel comfortable.

Seeing that she was so sure, the eldest aunt didn't say anything more, but instead mentioned other things to her.

"It's soon the birthday party for Brother Ming and the three brothers. They have always been held at home before. How about we move a little bit this year and go outside?"

Du Jingyi also found it interesting after hearing this. The children's first-year banquet will not be as exaggerated as that of Brother Tai, but it still has to be there. If a restaurant with a beautiful scenery is chosen to host this banquet, it will be fine. It's nothing inappropriate.

So he asked.

"Since Auntie said so, is there any suitable place you would like to recommend to me?"

"How about Wangjiang Tower?"

Isn't this the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple? Originally, Wangjiang Tower was Yan Zhiqing's property, so there seemed to be no problem in holding a banquet on his own property.

It's just that when hosting a banquet outside, you don't want to be too extravagant. You still have to take the Gu family's reputation into consideration.

After much thought, Du Jingyi said.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the general when I get back. If possible, let's go to Wangjiang Tower to try the dishes first, and see which seat is more suitable?"

"No problem, I'll call your aunt when the time comes. She's also a person who can make noises everywhere!"

The eldest aunt teased Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly appeared from outside as if she knew it in advance. She was a frequent visitor to the Gu family, so over the years, she was used to not asking her servants to report first.

"Hey, it's a coincidence that I came here today. As soon as I walked in, I heard my sister-in-law talking about me. What am I doing? Come on, tell me!"

The eldest aunt looked like she was being drawn into a lottery and said with extreme helplessness.

"Look, you can't talk behind someone's back, otherwise, that person will definitely come to your door to make trouble!"

When Du Jingyi heard this, he also laughed, and then said in a roundabout way.

"Aunt, please sit down and drink some tea to moisten your throat. The eldest aunt is telling me that the three children's birthday party will not be held at home. Let's go to Wangjiang Tower to change the place. I want the children to come. Happy too."

When Mrs. Xing heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately spoke.

"This is a good suggestion. When I celebrated my birthday three years ago, the master also invited me to do it in the Guowangjiang Tower. The place is spacious and comfortable, and the food is delicious. The most important thing is that the scenery is great. The river breeze is blowing, which is quite different. .”

"Is Jiang Feng strong?"

"It's not big. The owner of Wangjiang Tower is a powerful person. I don't know that the person he hired is very good at planning. So when the wind blows, it doesn't feel too strong, and I don't miss any of the scenery, especially after evening. When the afterglow shines on the river, it is called beautiful."

Hearing this, the eldest aunt was also moved.

She had been to Wangjiang Tower several times, but it was only during lunch time. She had never seen the sunset over the river that Mrs. Xing mentioned.

Du Jingyi could see the expectations of his elders, so he felt that the matter was close to home.

While they were sitting and talking, the fourth aunt seemed to have heard something and hurriedly appeared in the eldest aunt's yard.

With the addition of another eloquent person, it seems like a game that will never end.

Seeing this, the eldest aunt simply said.

"Why don't you prepare a meal in my yard today? Although the people in the small kitchen are not as skilled as your girl, they can cook authentic Jinling cuisine. Let's try it together?"

The fourth aunt and Mrs. Xing naturally agreed, so the eldest aunt sent someone to tell the second and third aunts.

A few people chatted happily, and the maids who went to deliver the news also came back, naturally bringing answers that they agreed with.

As a result, the small kitchen in the aunt's yard became unusually busy.

It was time for dinner, and it wasn't that hot in the yard anymore. My aunt simply asked people to set up the meal in the small garden behind the main house. It was fun to enjoy the scenery while eating.

During the dinner, Du Jingyi talked about gathering the children to play in the backyard, and everyone agreed, but the second aunt mentioned it.

"Brother Zhong is still a little young, so I won't take him around with you. I have nothing to do anyway, so I can come and help you."

The second aunt has expressed her stance, and the third aunt also means the same, so Gu Xiaolang will naturally go with her. As for Gu Xiaoyun, it is better to confine herself carefully.

I was born at the end of May, and I was really sweating a lot during this confinement period.

However, with her husband Huo Silang personally taking care of her, her complexion and figure look much better than before the birth!

Even Du Jingyi was a little envious and praised her for having a good body.

Gu Xiaoyun obviously agreed with this statement, so she thought that she would have to give birth to two more children after her body recovered.
