After the items were brought back, Luo Qiuyun immediately tidied up the second floor of the main hall and used it as a storage room.

Not to mention that not only did he not have to worry about being discovered, but the second floor was far from the ground. Even if he met Nan Tian again, he wouldn't have to worry about anything getting wet.

The area of the attic was also very big, connecting two rooms, and taking everything up only took up a small part of the space. The rest of the space of the attic, Luo Qiuyun could use it to store grain in the future, and normally, five to six thousand catties wouldn't be a problem.

The only way up and down was through the wooden staircase behind the screen in the main hall, which greatly increased the safety of the storage room.

The building on the east side of the second floor was temporarily unused. However, Luo Qiuyun had already decided what to do when she was cleaning up the west side of the building.

Actually, she was going to prepare it for Luo Tianli to use as a study room in the beginning because it was big enough. Unfortunately, she didn't feel like going upstairs or downstairs every day, so Luo Qiuyun changed it to make her own bedroom.

In order to get it done as soon as possible, Luo Qiuyun got Madam Wang to find a few carpenters for her and made a big hole in the east wall of the east attic. She then drew out the drawn pattern of the aluminum window, watched the carpenters finish and install it, and then filled up the holes in the surroundings with brick and wood.

The walls were whitewashed and the floor, because it was made of wood, was made of wood. Luo Qiuyun, besides having the carpenter make another layer of painted wood, had also bought a large carpet to cover it, so as to avoid the constant tramping downstairs when she moved.

Next was the interior layout. The entrance to the room led directly to the wardrobe, then to the large bed, with a dresser placed at the head of the bed, and then to a new bookcase placed horizontally. The reason why it was called new was because it was completely new to Luo Qiuyun and no one had seen it before.

The new bookcase had yet to be placed, but in the future, it would be good to put the books or other objects inside. Therefore, when Luo Qiuyun looked for the carpenter, she also made one each for Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang and put them in their respective rooms.

Behind the bookcase, there was a small round table with a stool. Luo Qiuyun's arrangement was to take into account the possibility of drinking tea and writing in her room in the future.

Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang also liked the layout of Luo Qiuyun's room. However, the two of them knew that if their room could be fitted with a large hole like Luo Qiuyun's, who knew if the house could still be used? To be precise, the two were more worried that the storage room upstairs would collapse.

Although he didn't need his own room, the study he had prepared for them could still be easily renovated. Luo Tianli chose the room across the room as his study. Since it was close by, he pushed open the door and entered the study through the east-west corridor.

Considering that Luo Tianli had to read and write here in the future and the light couldn't be too dim, Luo Qiuyun switched out the small window in the first chamber according to the blueprint. However, the window was twice as big as the one in Luo Qiuyun's attic. In this way, as long as one was reading and writing in the daytime, there was no need to worry about the lack of light. Furthermore, as the air circulated, it was better for one's mind to be stuffy in their room!

After settling all these matters, the accident happened a month later. During this month, the villagers were discussing the movements of Luo Qiuyun's group almost every day. It was just that they did not know about it.

Due to this matter, the villagers all seemed to agree with Old Village Head's earlier guess. The Luo siblings must have been the golden ladies and young masters of a wealthy family before, after all, the women who could write and paint at this time, other than the young ladies of a wealthy family, the daughters of an ordinary family wouldn't have this opportunity.

Of course, they would never have dreamed that our female lead was a pure peasant girl that came from a small family. However, because she accidentally changed the focus, some things started to become strange.

Old Village Head's eldest son's wife, Madam Wang, came to visit a few times during this period. When she found out that Luo Qiuyun had been busy all this time, she did not mention the matter of the banquet and the new residence. Now that the dust had settled, Luo Qiuyun remembered.

"Little sister, you mean to say, we should set up the assembly line tomorrow, right?" Madam Wang asked seriously as if she couldn't be sure.

"Yes, sister-in-law knows that we've been living in the village for almost a month and haven't met any of the villagers yet." Yes, sister-in-law knows that we've been living in the village for almost a month and haven't met any of the villagers yet.

Hearing Luo Qiuyun's words, Madam Wang laughed, "Heh, this is only a small matter. The villagers won't miss you because of such a small matter. Since sister has spoken, sister-in-law is very willing to help you out.

Luo Qiuyun nodded her head in agreement. Although Madam Wang didn't say it explicitly, she felt very satisfied. She continued, "As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as close as a neighbor. "Sister is currently living in the village. If you get to know more people, you can help out in the future!"

"That's true. I'd have to thank sister-in-law for her advice!" Luo Qiuyun replied, then asked Madam Wang about the banquet to pay attention to the issues as well as the preparations.

Madam Wang didn't hold back and left after informing her one by one!

She was going to the village to inform the villagers that the Luo Family was hosting a banquet to invite everyone here. This was a habit of the Chen Village; otherwise, if the guests didn't know that your family was hosting a wedding banquet, no one would be able to come to visit.

After Madam Wang left, Luo Qiuyun did not stay idle. After all, tomorrow's banquet would be hosted by her own house, so she needed to go to town this time. She ordered half a pig to come back, otherwise, there would not be any meat for the banquet.

Luo Qiuyun would never make such a mistake. Otherwise, if Luo Tianli were to take the Imperial Examinations, it would have a huge impact on him.

Besides, reputations needed to be maintained over a long period of time. Now that his family had just moved in, although they had their own property, they did not integrate into the village. If the new house was not prepared well, no one could predict how they would talk behind their backs.

With this in mind, Luo Qiuyun planned to not put on too much airs during the banquet, on the other hand, she was eating.

As far as she knew, the attitude of the ancients towards the family was one of great importance in the dishes of the banquet!

As a result, in the town, in addition to the pork that must be prepared, Luo Qiuyun also bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and some dried meat. When the time came, they would cook together with the vegetables that Madam Wang had picked, and the quality of the banquet would immediately rise to the highest possible level of Chen Village.

As the saying goes, eating a person's mouth is too short, and one's hands are weak! If there were still people in the village who dared to gossip about their own village, Luo Qiuyun would have nothing to say.

On the day of the banquet, Madam Wang came to the door early in the morning with her sister-in-law to help. Old Village Head also brought a few men from the village to help Luo Qiuyun.

In the end, they split the work and worked together. The women were responsible for washing the dishes, cutting the vegetables, cooking the rice, and so on, while the men were responsible for carrying the water, carrying the tables, stools, chickens, and geese, etc.

Not long after, the children of the village also woke up. Knowing that Luo Family was hosting a banquet today, without even eating breakfast, they put on their clothes and ran towards the village entrance.

There were a few girls, but they were all under seven years old. Luo Qiuyun had guessed a little, first, it was due to the influence of the feudal etiquette, and the girls above seven years old were all embarrassed. They couldn't go with the other children to 'beg' for food, and on the other hand, they were influenced by the patriarchs'.

Usually, parents would think that their daughters were going to be married off into the future. They would have to give them dowry money, which was a loss of money, so they had to do more work for the family when they were at home. This made it so that older girls had very little time to play around.

On one hand, she wanted to establish a good reputation for her Luo Family, but she also hoped that the two kids, Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang, could find a few friends in the village. That way, there would be people to play with them in the future.

The way the two youngsters followed Luo Qiuyun these days gradually made her feel that something was not right. After all, children at this age loved to play around, but Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang were like old men who were 70 to 80 years old. They were extremely quiet, which was definitely abnormal.

This was also related to their experience, which was Luo Qiuyun was most worried about right now. In fact, Luo Tianxiang was still better off, after all, he had followed her through a drought and famine, and was now an eight to nine-year-old kid. It was natural for him to be sensible, but Luo Tianxiang was only three years old.

Luo Qiuyun couldn't help but suspect that Luo Tianxiang had left a shadow in his heart when she thought about the scene where she picked him up. After all, she had no idea what happened to Luo Tianxiang before she appeared.

Luo Qiuyun had no children in her previous life and had never had children, so she didn't know much about children's education. However, thinking about it when she was young, coupled with the occasional mention of parenting knowledge, it was already quite good that she could think of this method. As for the results, it all depended on the future!

In the afternoon, the villagers who came to Luo Family had already reached their peak. Madam Wang reminded Luo Qiuyun that it was time for her to start the banquet, so she got someone to carry the dishes to the table.

"What a great gift!" Watching the meat dishes arrive on the table one by one, many of the villagers were shocked. When they looked at Luo Qiuyun and Luo Qiuyun, the originally envious gaze gradually turned into reverence. Even Old Village Head, who was used to seeing Luo Qiuyun's extravagant work, secretly sighed, "It really is the style of a rich family!"

"Eh, alright, I seem to have been misunderstood!" Luo Qiuyun obviously did not expect this outcome. She had only wanted to gain a good reputation, but this was good as well. It was better to have the villagers revere her than to be bullied by others in the future.
