Chapter 1738 Cleaning Up (Update 1)
Sun was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Yang Ruoqing meant.
"Isn't that right?" said Sun.
"At noon, I went over to the old house to say hello to your fourth and fifth aunts and asked them to come and help in the afternoon."
"I didn't even think about it at that time. I want Jin Hong to help, because I think Hong'er is so young, and Yongzhi can't take her by herself."
"She ran to the backyard to find me, and in front of your grandma, she took the initiative to say that she would come over to help me in the afternoon..." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "One moment, another moment, she can change her mind just by peeing."
She said, simply pulling Sun aside and lowering her voice. The whole story was told.
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Sun was also surprised, with a little dissatisfaction on her face.
"Then he is probably really upset." Sun said again.
Yang Ruoqing had a look of disdain on her face: "I'm good enough to her. I sent my third brother here to ask for errands more than a month ago, and I got tired of serving her every time I came up with an idea."
Mrs. Sun nodded: " If that's the case, let her go. It's fine if she doesn't come. If she does, it will make everyone embarrassed."
Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm' and looked at her. The kitchen and dining hall were very busy over there: "Mom, that's all for now, let's go in and get busy."
"It's a happy event to win the exam in Da'an, we have to be happy. Don't let other people's trivial matters affect your mood."
Sun nodded again: "Yes, my Qing'er is right, let's go in and get busy."
In rural areas, when hosting such banquets and family banquets, it is almost always the women in the backyard who take the lead.
From the preparation of the ingredients for the banquet the next day, to the actual meals served the next day, to the cooking of the leftovers after the guests have dispersed, to the clearing of the pots and pans...
They are all women. They are doing it.
And what about the men? Do some simple and direct physical work, carry a few tables and set up a few stools.
Welcome the guests, then smoke cigarettes and drink tea to chat with the guests, or even play cards.
When the banquet started, people exchanged glasses, ate, drank, and cheered.
After the banquet was over, I went home humming a little tune and fell asleep.
This is the usual process for hosting banquets in farmers' households. Men and women are also used to it and accept it happily.
At night, the women were so busy lighting the lamps that they prepared all the ingredients for tomorrow before going to their respective homes.
Before leaving, we made an appointment to come over tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruoqing escorted them to the gate of the courtyard. Ms. Sun repeatedly warned: "Don't light a fire in your house tomorrow morning. All come here to have breakfast!"
The women responded with a smile.
Back in the backyard, Mrs. Sun continued to do some finishing work, with Yang Ruoqing accompanying her.
Sun said: "You have nothing to do here. You should go back quickly. I don't know what's going on with the baby right now."
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I said When I went to the toilet, I took the time to go back and take a look. The father and daughter were having fun.”
"My mother-in-law is also here. She said she would give her a bath and take her to sleep when the baby is sleepy. She told me to concentrate on this for the past two days without worrying about it."
Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Mrs. Sun was also temporarily relieved.
"Fengtang and his mother really don't have a choice. They are really kind to you as my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Sun said sincerely.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, with unconcealable satisfaction in her smile.
"I think so too," she said, then turned sideways and gently rested her head on Sun's shoulder: "No matter how good everyone is, they can't compare to you, mother."
Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment, her heart moved, but she smiled on her face.
“Haha, you girl, when did you learn how to flatter?”
“Oh, I’m not flattering, I’m telling the truth, mother, you have to believe me ! "
"Okay, okay, mom believes you, no matter what you say, mom believes you!" "Haha, what are you two plotting?" Yang Huazhong also entered the kitchen with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing let go of Sun and stood up straight: "Don't tell dad about my mother's secret."
Yang Huazhong was stunned for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed at Yang Ruoqing, "This girl..."
The man smiled again, with a doting look on his face, and the atmosphere in the kitchen was very good.
Yang Ruoqing said to Sun and Yang Huazhong: "Since dad is here to accompany mom, I will retreat temporarily and let you two have a few words in private."
Sun blushed: "What are you talking about, kid? Your father and I are an old married couple, making people laugh..."
Yang Huazhong chuckled.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm just joking. Let's talk to mom. I'll go to our scholar's house to look around."
In the house, the young man was reading at night.
The low and clear sound of reading is like a melodious sound, with cadence and clear enunciation, giving people an auditory enjoyment.
Yang Ruoqing stood at the door of the house, listened quietly for a moment, enjoyed it for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door.
The sound of reading in the room suddenly stopped, and then Daan's voice came.
"The door is not closed, please come in." He said.
The door of the house was pushed open with a sound, and a graceful figure flashed into the house.
"Wow, the scholar is different. He speaks in a gentle manner and even uses the word "please"!"
Yang Ruoqing teased and went straight to the desk.
Daan raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was his sister, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Immediately put down the book in his hand and stood up.
As soon as she stood up, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt that the light in front of her eyes dimmed.
"Wow, my dear brother, what have you been eating? You've grown so fast. Sister, the days when I looked down on you are gone forever!"
Hidden in my heart With endless happiness, she said this deliberately.
Da'an also laughed when he heard Yang Ruoqing's joke.
He walked around the desk and came to Yang Ruoqing,
"No matter how tall I grow, I will always be my sister." He said with a smile, then he did a horse stance and said deliberately Lower your body.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and raised her hand to touch his head easily.
Caressing his head like he did when he was a child, "Be good, this is my good brother!"
Then he patted his shoulder again and asked him to stand up straight.
"Why don't you go to bed so late?" she asked again.
Da'an said: "I'm not sleepy yet, so I'll go over the homework assigned by my husband."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and glanced at the candlelight on the desk.
“You have a lot of time to read during the day, and try to read as little as possible at night. There is insufficient light and it is easy to damage your eyes.”
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words of advice, Daan's eyes showed a hint of joy.
He nodded lightly: "Brother will remember it. By the way, sister, why haven't you gone to bed yet? Will the baby cry?"
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: " I'm helping my mother prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's banquet. I just finished work."
"As for the baby, don't worry, your brother-in-law is with her!"
Hearing this, Da'an said. He also nodded with relief.
