Chapter 6136 Just be happy
“Where did this mushroom come from?” Yang Ruoqing asked.
Wang Cuilian raised her head and said with a smile: "Your Aunt Osmanthus and three girls brought it here. They just left and didn't even take a sip of tea."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. , "They are so polite and don't forget anything about our family. Now our family has to eat mushrooms for three meals a day."
As she said that, she stretched out the big bowl in her hand, There are mushrooms in there too.
"This was stuffed in by my fifth aunt just now, let's put it together."
Wang Cuilian was surprised, happy and grateful when she saw so many mushrooms in the basket, and she sighed for a long time.
"It's hard to keep mushrooms this season. We also have dried mushrooms at home. How about Qing'er, would you send these mushrooms to a restaurant in town?" Wang Cuilian asked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Send this basket of mushrooms to the restaurant, and the portion is not enough. Let's eat it at home. It's too much. Otherwise, let's ask my uncle to send some to Zhoujia Village to cousin Zhou Wang's house. I just don’t know if my uncle is free and willing to make that trip. ..."
Wang Cuilian glanced outside the yard. At this time, Blacksmith Luo had already gone to the fish pond. Wang Cuilian said: "This is what we two said privately, please be patient. No matter how busy your uncle is, he can still find time for a trip.”
Yang Ruoqing smiled knowingly.
Tiejiang Luo's love and protection for Luo Da'e, his old sister, has continued for decades, and he has never forgotten his original intention.
However, the Zhou family has completely changed their lives since Zhou Xia died many years ago.
Luo Da'e stopped making noises and took care of Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan's children at home honestly. She became a real old woman. Except for visiting Luojia Village every year in the first month to pay New Year's greetings, she basically never left at other times. village.
Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan are both sensible and respect Blacksmith Luo as their uncle. They come to visit Blacksmith Luo every year and festival to buy wine and tobacco for Blacksmith Luo.
So Blacksmith Luo took care of the Zhou family overtly and covertly, while Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang pretended not to see it, as long as their uncle was happy.
Sure enough, when Blacksmith Luo came back from outside and saw the basket full of mushrooms at home, and heard the plans of Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Blacksmith Luo went to the backyard to hitch the carriage.
Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian looked at each other and smiled.
“Look, it’s going to rain in the afternoon, so you should wear a raincoat and a bamboo hat!”
Wang Cuilian walked to the carriage with the raincoat and bamboo hat, and asked blacksmith Luo Wen He persuaded in a soft voice.
Because Blacksmith Luo is used to going shirtless when the weather is hot, he considers himself an ironworker in the past, and his body is as strong as iron, so he is not afraid of a little rain.
"No, no, no, it's too hot to wear those things in this weather. I feel so happy being shirtless!"
As expected, Blacksmith Luo refused.
Wang Cuilian had no choice but to turn her eyes to Yang Ruoqing for help.
Yang Ruoqing secretly smiled bitterly. It was not easy for her to persuade her. There was only one person in the family who could speak to her uncle most effectively.
So, she glanced at Baby Luo who was playing with the giant teddy over there.
Baby Luo understood, and immediately abandoned Teddy and ran to the carriage, took the raincoat and bamboo hat and stuffed them into Blacksmith Luo's arms.
"Grandpa, you are really disobedient. Grandma asked you to wear it because she cares about you. If you walk a long way and get caught in the rain, you will get sick, and if your hair is wet, you will get lice."
"You put it on, you must put it on, you are not allowed to go out unless you put it on!"
Baobao Luo stood in front of the carriage with his hands on his hips, looking like a little tigress.
Blacksmith Luo looked at his granddaughter's domineering look, beaming and losing all his temper.
"Okay, okay, grandpa, put it on, put it on!"
"Yeah, you are so good, come on, come on, my granddaughter will wait for you to put it on."
Luo Baobao immediately put down his hands, put on a sweet smile and came closer, and obediently helped blacksmith Luo put on the raincoat on the boat. The bamboo hat was put aside first, because there was only a little bit of scattered rain at this moment. Later, when the rain gets heavier, Grandpa can pick it up and cover his head at any time without any trouble.
"We'll put on the raincoat later. It's not raining yet!" Blacksmith Luo looked at the tightly wrapped coir raincoat and discussed it angrily.
But he was rejected by Luo Baobao.
“The rain will come soon. When the time comes, grandpa will be in a hurry and will not have time to put on his raincoat. My granddaughter will help you put it on first so that you don’t have to panic later!”
It seemed reasonable, and from a caring standpoint, Blacksmith Luo was speechless.
“Okay, then wear it!”
In this way, Blacksmith Luo drove the carriage on the road to Zhoujia Village under the watch of three women, big and small.
The ladies had not even had a cup of tea when they returned to the main room, when it suddenly started raining heavily outside.
Wang Cuilian looked at the splashing water mist outside with some worry: "It's raining so hard, the road may not be easy to walk."
Yang Ruoqing also looked at the sky outside: "This rain cloud is so Huizi is in our area, ten miles away The sun may still be shining brightly in some places, so don’t worry, aunt.”
Thunderstorms in summer are like this. The range of rain clouds is limited. Sometimes we are in the same town, and there are strong winds and heavy rains in the north of the town, and heavy rain in the south. Maybe it will still be a scorching sun.
"Qing'er, do you think your uncle can come back tonight?" Wang Cuilian asked again.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "If it rains, I will probably be left at Zhou's house to spend the night. If it doesn't rain... even if I come back later, my uncle will probably come back."
Wang Cuilian nodded, "Let's do it."
As a result, Blacksmith Luo did not come back that night. He came back the next day.
The mushroom basket I took with me when I went there was filled with eggs when I came back, and there was an extra basket next to it. The basket was covered with large duck eggs and goose eggs. .
"Well, these eggs are given to our baby by Zhou Wang and others."
Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing came over and were busy carrying the basket down. The heavy basket was full of white flowers. Eggs are delightful to look at.
"Oh my God, why are Zhou Wang and the others so polite... I got so many eggs and duck eggs in exchange for half a basket of mushrooms. I'm afraid I'll have to eat them for a long time." Wang Cuilian said with a happy face, but also felt I'm a little embarrassed. If I had known earlier, I would have grabbed more mushrooms and sent them away.
"Da'e warned me when I left that these eggs cannot be kept for a long time and must be eaten as soon as possible."
Blacksmith Luo wiped the hot sweat from his face and said cheerfully.
The girl's family knows how to reciprocate politely, and this will save face, which makes him happy from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Ruoqing suggested: "Auntie, let's go back and pickle some to make salted eggs, and some to make preserved eggs."
"I can make salted eggs, but preserved eggs I can't!" Wang Cuilian said.
Although I don’t, I have eaten it a few times and Qing’er brought it back from the restaurant in town.
The taste is a bit strange. It is absolutely inedible when eaten raw. After it is steamed and cut into pieces with threads, it is then topped with sesame oil and chopped pepper, and the umami flavor comes out.
Thinking of that smell, Wang Cuilian wanted to drool.
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "I know how to make it. I will do it when the time comes."
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carrying baskets into the house, they excitedly discussed how to make salty food along the way. Blacksmith Luo was in a better mood about the eggs and preserved eggs. He hummed a little tune and led his horse to settle down in the backyard.
As it gets closer to the end of the month, it rains more and more frequently.
