Chapter 6810 Drag the Word Technique
“Sister, do your parents know what happened between Xiao An and the daughter of the He family?”
As an elder brother, Da An has a lifelong relationship with his only brother Xiao An. He was extremely caring, but he was not at home for a long time and could not pay attention as carefully as a woman, so he could only ask his sister here.
"About this issue... what should I say?"
Yang Ruoqing rubbed her temples, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Let me tell you this. The fact that Xiao An and He Lian'er may have a mutual affection for each other is just a guess and feeling in my heart. The last time I asked Xiao An for confirmation, he still maintained that Negative attitude, I don’t know I mean, I’m not sure whether I’ve fallen in love yet, or I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m in love with him, but he behaves like a girl in this respect.”
Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Da'an couldn't help laughing.
He could imagine Xiao An's face flushed and scratching his head and ears.
"As for my parents, I've also checked in. They are very satisfied with both the He family and the girl He Lian'er."
Da An Ying He said: "I can guess this too. Our parents have never been particular about being well-matched, nor do we have the concept of looking down on others."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Our parents really don't care about the external conditions of the woman's family, and they don't even care about the dowry or not, but we have a bottom line."
"What bottom line?"
“Xiao An can’t get married!”
Da An was silent.
The only son of the He family, He Qingsong, is gone. The second oldest son of the He family has only one child, He Lian'er. It is impossible for him to marry off his only daughter, both emotionally and rationally.
"Recruiting a son-in-law... This is indeed a hurdle, and it is difficult for anyone to get over it."
Daan said softly after pondering for a while.
"Yes, so I guess this is the main reason why Xiao An has not made up his mind. He is a very filial son at heart and doesn't want to make his parents sad."
No wonder. Yang Ruoqing said this, no matter what time, space or era, male dominance has always dominated society.
Anyone who becomes a son-in-law by marrying into a bride-in-law, no matter what the reason is, will always be considered by the public as the man lacks ability, or that the family conditions behind him are not good.
This is disrespectful to men.
But in the final analysis, these so-called injuries to dignity and the pressure of public opinion are still burdens imposed on oneself to put it bluntly.
When a person is really willing to give up and not care about that, then he can follow his own heart, whether he gets married or has a wife, he will be happy.
Just to reach that level, this person must meet three conditions.
One: His love for that girl cannot be extricated. No other woman in the world can replace her. She must be the one in this life.
Two: This person has a strong mentality and is not afraid of any rumors or strange looks.
Three: The tolerance and support of his family behind him.
If any of the above three points is lacking, it will be difficult to make it happen. Even if it is forced to happen, the couple will not be harmonious and happy after marriage.
"So, it's not easy for Xiao An."
Da'an's voice brought Yang Ruoqing's thoughts back to reality.
"Da'an, have you mentioned anything about the Su family to our parents?" she asked suddenly.
Daan shook his head, "Not yet. I must first consult Xiaoan, the person involved, before telling my parents."
Marriage is not a trivial matter. Once you tell your parents, it means It’s time to officially enter the marriage negotiation process.
If there are more variables, the consequences will be too great.
Yang Ruoqing quickly told Daan: "Don't let our parents know about the Su family's affairs for the time being. They are making things difficult for the He family, but the Su family is 100% satisfied. There are certain variables. Don’t let them know it yet.”
Daan gave Yang Ruoqing a reassuring look. "Sister, don't worry, I understand."
...
After waiting for three days, Xiao An didn't come back. It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. , every household is starting to make New Year tofu.
The technical skill of tofu was brought to this world by Yang Ruoqing.
It can be said that she is the originator of tofu in this world, and she earned her first pot of gold by buying tofu.
Later she moved her business to other places, and the skill of grinding tofu was not hidden and was promoted in the village.
Later, people in eight villages in ten miles and even most of Qi could grind tofu, which shows that the learning ability of these ancients was also very strong.
No, every year after the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, every household makes New Year tofu, boils maltose, and prepares for the New Year in full swing.
No, Yang Huazhong’s backyard is also busy.
Yang Huazhong, Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongjin, and the Sun family, these four families got together to make tofu.
From grinding soy milk to cooking soy milk, one person in the family works together.
When the tofu brain was cooked, Sun and Bao Suyun took out a stack of bowls and came to the yard.
Yang Huazhong took the gourd gourd and scooped a spoonful of tender and smooth tofu into each bowl. Sun and Bao Suyun placed the tofu neatly on the table next to them.
“Everyone, come over and drink tofu. You can add sweet and salty ones by yourself!”
That's right, there are sugar and salt shakers on the table, chopped chives and coriander, fried white sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts.
Adults and children all swarmed over, picked up the bowls and added ingredients according to their own tastes.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao were also among them.
Both women like to drink sweet tofu, adding spoonful after spoonful of sugar.
Everyone was drinking tofu noodle from bowls and chatting. Da Sun even came over with a wooden bucket to collect the tofu water and took it home, saying that he was giving the tofu water to Xiao Shunzi. If the two brothers take a bath, their skin will be good and there will be no sores in the coming year.
Hearing this, Cao Bamei was also moved, so she hurried home to find a basin and came over to get the tofu water.
The New Year atmosphere quietly permeated the crowd, and everyone was full of energy and expectations.
Ms. Sun picked up the bowl and took a sip of tofu nao. She couldn't help but think of her little son who was still away and had not returned home.
“Hey, it’s been several days, why hasn’t your brother Xiao An come back yet?”
Yang Ruoqing was squatting aside, enjoying her drink, and didn’t even raise her head when she heard the words. Said: "Didn't I say that I have to help the He family buy new year's goods first? The He family is short of manpower."
Sun shook her head gently, "Xiao An likes tofu nao the most. I didn't catch up last year, and I didn't catch up this year."
"Mom, it's okay if I didn't catch up. We usually grind tofu at home." There are some.”
“I’m usually as good as me. Can the tofu be ground the same? ”
“Why is it different? Isn’t it the result of grinding soybeans and boiling them?”
Sun Shi frowned and said, "Hey, stop talking and drink it while it's hot."
Yang Ruoqing smiled, said nothing more, picked up the bowl and continued drinking.
Looking at Mrs. Baozi and Sun’s attitude, she couldn’t help but think about it if Xiao An didn’t go home early during the Chinese New Year. If Xiao An really wanted to be the son-in-law of the He family, how could Mrs. Bao Zi and Sun accept it? !
