Chapter 1918: Not having a good time (first update)
“Qing’er, you’ve lost a lot of weight. What, are you not used to the diet in the capital?”
Cao Bamei came to the bedside, Looking at Yang Ruoqing's sharpened chin, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and touched her chin, and smiled: "Don't mention it, there has been a strange disease in Beijing some time ago, and there was a problem with the ingredients, so I didn't dare to open up my appetite. Eat, you will definitely lose weight."
Cao Bamei said with a smile: "It's okay, just go home. The food at home is clean and safe, and it's okay to eat it open."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, and also took a look at Cao Bamei.
"Earlier in the afternoon, my second brother said that you had gone to deliver porridge to Chen Jinhong who was sick."
"What's going on with you? Could it be that your relationship between sisters-in-law has now become... Sister?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Hearing this, Cao Bamei also smiled.
"No way, I went to deliver porridge to her, and it wasn't because of your second brother's request, otherwise I wouldn't like to deal with her," she said.
"My second brother?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "What's going on with my second brother? He used to be in the village and didn't have much contact with Chen Jinhong. Why is he so warm-hearted?"
Cao Bamei said: "Your second brother, He is a kind-hearted person.”
“It’s all because Chen Jinhong blocked a knife for him last time. He was grateful and asked me to take more care of them. After all, they were having a hard time in the county. "Cao Bamei said.
Blocking a knife made Yang Yongjin feel guilty and grateful.
With this gratitude and guilt, he received more care. Chen Jinhong really suffered a lot from this knife!
"Eight Sister, tell me, besides delivering porridge, what else did my second brother give you?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Cao Bamei smiled and said, "It's okay. On weekdays, they are busy with theirs and we are busy with ours."
"The last time we met was ten days ago. You three It was my brother’s birthday. Your second brother bought some food and wine and took Xiuxiu and me to have a meal with your third brother.”
“ I'm delivering porridge today because your third brother came over this morning and said that your third sister-in-law is sick, and the dock has been very busy these days and he can't spare any time during the day."
"I thought. Ask me to take some time to deliver some food to Jin Hong at noon. Your second brother agreed and only urged me to go when I got up." Cao Bamei said in detail.
Yang Ruoqing heard everything, "The third brother didn't sell candied haws, nor did he do carpentry work, but instead went to the dock to carry big bags?"
Cao Bamei nodded: "Yes, he carried more than one It’s already been a month.”
“That’s a tiring job,” Yang Ruoqing said again.
Cao Bamei said: "If you have to support your family, you have to carry it even if you are tired."
"What about Chen Jinhong? Doesn't she do anything?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Cao Bamei said: "You can't make any money by doing housework at home, sewing and mending." Ask the third brother to come to the restaurant to do something."
Cao Bamei said: "You still know your second brother. He called, but your third brother didn't want to come over."
"Why? "Yang Ruoqing was puzzled.
“As long as you have the strength to carry big bags at the dock, you can earn three times as much as working as a waiter in a restaurant.” Cao Bamei said.
"Besides being a waiter, your third brother has no experience and can't do other errands."
"So your second brother had to follow him," she said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Chen Jinhong didn't make any excessive demands?"
Cao Bamei said: "It's really weird this time, she seems to be a different person, calm and contented Very.”
“I brought porridge here today, and she was lying on the bed with a fever, and she still struggled to get down to pour me tea. She seems to be much more sensible than before at Lao Yang’s house...”
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing smiled.
"It seems that what the elders said is quite reasonable. The children of the poor have already become the masters of the family." "Three brothers, only when they become independent and suffer hardships can they understand the difficulty of life. , the warmth and warmth of human relationships."
"I hope Chen Jinhong is really sensible, but you still have to be careful, eighth sister," Yang Ruoqing said.
Cao Bamei also smiled.
"Hey, speaking of being wary, there's actually nothing to be wary of," she said.
"You are the real boss of this restaurant. Your second brother said that it is the shopkeeper who, to put it bluntly, is working as an errand to get paid for you."
"Chen Jinhong wants to take over this restaurant. , then she is totally wrong. In addition, your second brother occasionally buys some food and wine to improve their food. I am very open-minded about this and don't care about it," she said.
Looking at the honest-looking Cao Bamei in front of her, Yang Ruoqing showed kindness and pity in her eyes.
She reached out and held Cao Bamei's hand, which had become calloused from washing and working.
"You are worthy of being from the Sun family. Just like my mother-in-law and my mother, you are always so kind to others."
"God, I see everything. A kind person will You are favored," Yang Ruoqing said.
Whether God can see it, Yang Ruoqing herself is not sure.
But one thing, she is sure of.
That is, I will favor Bamei and the others even more.
Familiar footsteps entered the house.
Yang Ruoqing knew who was coming without turning her head.
"Qing'er, eat your dinner first and then chat with your second sister-in-law? You've had a nap for a while..."
When Luo Fengtang's voice came, the man was also holding a The vice tray came to the bedside.
The chat here stopped for the time being, and Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes to look at the food he was holding.
Sautéed duck legs, fried celery sprouts with spicy pepper, and fried eggs with leeks.
Seeing this meat and vegetable dish, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt that the bowl of sharp white rice was not enough.
Three big bowls are no problem!
"There is still a lot of food in the backyard kitchen. You eat first. If it is not enough, you can call me."
Seeing her look in her eyes, Luo Fengtang could see through her heart at a glance and couldn't bear it. He smiled and said.
"I'll leave the food here for now. If you want more food later, call me and I'll talk to my second brother and Narisong in the room opposite."
After saying this, he put the tray on the bed On the stool beside him, he nodded to Cao Bamei again, turned around and strode out of the room.
Here, Yang Ruoqing had already grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and started eating hungrily.
Cao Bamei sat aside and looked at her eating, feeling really distressed and funny at the same time.
“Hey, you came back from meeting the emperor in the capital and ate like this. If your parents saw this, they might be very distressed!”
Cao Bamei covered her mouth and snickered.
Yang Ruoqing's face was not red, she took a chopstick and pulled the spicy celery sprouts into her mouth along with the rice.
He said to her vaguely: "Maybe the emperor, after seeing this spicy food, would be more anxious to eat it than I am!"
