Chapter 4542 As long as you understand
The food was served on the table, Yang Ruoqing stayed in the backyard kitchen to shovel the rice, and Luo Fengtang found an excuse to come to the kitchen.
"Hey, you didn't sit at the table to eat, why did you come to the backyard kitchen?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.
You know, today's meal is not prepared for Cui'er's father, but a dust-cleansing banquet prepared for Luo Fengtang, and he is the protagonist.
Luo Fengtang said: "My chopsticks accidentally fell to the ground, so I came to the backyard to change a pair."
Yang Ruoqing looked at him with a smile: "Come on, this is just an excuse. Tell me, do you have anything you want to tell me privately?"
Luo Fengtang smiled: "I really can't hide anything from my wife. There is indeed something wrong with you."
"What's the matter?" Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang said: "My father-in-law discussed with me earlier and said that he wanted to borrow two mules from our transportation team for a trip into the mountains."
Yang Ruoqing blinked her eyes. Said: "My grandpa wants my sister's mule to pull people out of the mountain, right?"
A mule goes uphill to a horse, but a donkey goes downhill without being beaten.
It is most convenient to use mules to climb uphill hills, so the most convenient means of transportation for mountain people is mules.
The mule in Yang Ruoqing's hand is a must-have for the transportation team.
The transportation team has escorted a batch of mountain goods to Huguang County a few days ago, and now there are just two mules left in the backyard of the house.
"Then what did you tell me?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
Luo Fengtang smiled bitterly: "Although I know you don't like to deal with Cui'er's family, Grandpa Gag has already spoken to me about borrowing a mule. I have to give Grandpa Grandpa face no matter what, so I should do it." "Go down."
Yang Ruoqing knew that Luo Fengtang agreed, on the one hand, because he was an open-minded person, and on the other hand, it was also because of her.
"Well, for some requests that are not excessive, I will still give my husband face. The old man has his own plans." Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang was obviously relieved when he heard that Yang Ruoqing also agreed to borrow it.
Seeing his expression, Yang Ruoqing suddenly became interested and planned to tease him.
"Tangyao, if I don't agree to borrow the mule, and you can't bear to let me down, what will you do?" she asked deliberately.
Luo Fengtang thought for a moment and said: "I will find a trolley and go into the mountain with my uncle to pick up Daga Gong from the mountain."
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What? Just take it for yourself. A mule?”
Luo Fengtang smiled and said nothing.
Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and justice, and it is the same in the family. Therefore, if you want to get the best of both worlds, you can only be a mule and run into the mountains.
Yang Ruoqing stood up on tiptoes and pinched his cheek gently, saying: "Don't even think about it, I won't let you go into the mountain to pick up Cui'er and the others. When the time comes, Cui'er will say to everyone when they meet, everyone, look. Yeah, my brother-in-law came specially to pick me up!”
“ This scandal is about you and her, how do you deal with it? How can I deal with it? Didn’t you learn a lesson from what happened to Su Meiniang last time? Do you really want me to settle the score with you?”
Listen? At this point, Luo Fengtang raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth.
Yang Ruoqing was anxious and quickly grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing? Why are you beating yourself up? Are you drunk before you even drink?" she asked in a low voice, her tone full of blame, but her eyes showed distress.
Luo Fengtang said: "I was wrong. I really don't have a long memory. Don't worry, Qing'er. I promise you, what happened to Su Meiniang is the last time. I will never let you be troubled by those rumors again, and I will never allow it. Our relationship is slightly flawed, you believe me!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently stroked his face, smiling. : "Fool, of course I believe you. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't stand here and tell you so much."
"Don't be serious, I was just teasing you, I I know more clearly that you said you wanted to go to the mountain to pick her up in person because you care about me, so you can’t bear to offend my grandpa.” “I understand, I understand everything!” she said.
Luo Fengtang pursed his lips gently, leaned down and pressed his forehead gently against hers.
As long as you understand!
......
Just after lunch, Luo Fengtang and Blacksmith Luo went home to pick up their mules.
Xiao Jie's father and Yang Huazhong pushed out the wooden cart at home, then put a harness on the mule and tied it to the wooden cart tightly.
“It’s almost done.” Yang Huazhong told Lao Suntou.
Lao Suntou nodded and told Xiaojie's father and Cui'er's father: "Then you two, don't delay and go into the mountain quickly. It will get dark very late now, so go back to Sunjiagou as soon as possible."
< br> Cui'er's father nodded, thanked everyone profusely again, and then he and Cui'er's father each led a naked horse out.
Da Sun caught up from behind and thrust a butcher's knife into Xiaojie's father's hand, "There are everything in the mountains, take it to protect yourself and ward off evil spirits!"
Once upon a time, Everyone goes into the mountains to protect themselves from wild beasts.
Since the last time when Mr. Sheng’s father slept in a graveyard and encountered the absurd incident of a ghost singing opera, everyone has to add two words at the end: to ward off evil spirits!
Farmers believe in gods and Buddhas, and the opposite of gods and Buddhas is naturally ghosts and evil spirits.
Everyone believes that there is yin and yang, positive and negative, black and white. This is a kind of belief.
It is always good to respect your beliefs and act with caution.
Seeing the butcher's knife that Da Sun pushed over, Xiao Jie's father's eyes were filled with warmth.
Tui'er's father on the side said: "Sister, don't worry, I brought a knife, look!"
Cui'er's father showed off a hatchet hidden in his waist.
Da Sun glanced at the rusty hatchet and curled his lips: "Brother, I'm not telling you, even if you just want to show off, you should at least bring a sharper hatchet. Ah!"
"If you really encounter a little beast blocking the road, your hatchet will not be able to cut off the fur!"
< br> "My butcher knife is different. I use it every once in a while. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. Such a big piece of bone can be chopped open with just one knife. It is very sharp and can be used against those dirty things in the mountains. Things can also be a deterrent!”
Hearing Da Sun’s retort, Cui’er’s father laughed innocently.
He took back his hatchet and said with a smile: "Yes, my eldest sister is right. I will sharpen this hatchet when I get back."
On the side, Mrs. Sun also said: "Brother, do you want to get a sharp hatchet from my house to defend yourself?"
Cui'er's father smiled gratefully at Sun and shook his head. : "Thank you, second sister, no need."
Old Suntou coughed and interrupted the conversation of the three brothers and sisters: "Stop being so nagging. If you have anything to say, we can wait until we are out of the mountains tomorrow and the day after. Say, let them hurry up and get going now!”
Both Sun and Da Sun nodded, stepped back and got out of the way.
As everyone watched, Xiaojie's father and Cui'er's father drove away on their naked bikes and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Luo Tiejiang and Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing also went back. Only Lao Suntou and the eldest Sun family were left in the yard, as well as Yang Huazhong and Sun family.
