Chapter 8258 Visiting Relatives
Last night, Yang Huazhong made an appointment with Yang Ruoqing and the Sun family. The three families went to the grassland to visit relatives and visit Xiang Shengnan.
Since Xiang Shengnan came back last time, he has been recuperating. He should have visited earlier. But Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang temporarily left the village again.
So you waited for me and I waited for you, and it has been delayed until now.
After breakfast, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came over together, but today Yang Ruoqing went to the pasture as a representative with everyone, while Luo Fengtang stayed at home to help take care of the children.
By the way, he also has to take care of a pile of things hanging to dry in the yard of his father-in-law's house next door.
"Brother-in-law, are you serious about not coming with us?" Xiao An asked again before leaving.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "If your sister goes, she will represent me."
"Okay then!"
Xiao An then obediently went over to hitch the carriage.
Mrs. Sun came over and said to Luo Fengtang: "Tangyazi, you have to worry about the things in the yard!"
Luo Fengtang nodded, "Don't worry, mother-in-law."
Yang Ruoqing joked : "Mom, don't say the word "worry" anymore. I'll make something for your eldest son-in-law later. Just treat him with whatever he likes. Let’s get something affordable.”
Sun said with a smile, “That’s not easy. Just tell your mother-in-law what you want to eat and I’ll cook it for you when you get home.”< br>
Yang Ruoqing said for Luo Fengtang: "Black sesame and sweet glutinous rice balls."
Xiao An, who was busy carrying things to the hitched carriage, grinned: "Sister, you are pretending to be self-serving for the public good. That is obviously your favorite food, but you have to use the name of my brother-in-law to cheat and drink."
Sun Shi glared at Xiao An: "Why are you talking to your sister? No big or small."
Xiao An chuckled: "I'm telling the truth. "No offense at all!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Yes, you are right. I just wanted to eat black sesame glutinous rice balls in the name of your brother-in-law. What?" Do you have any opinions?”
Luo Fengtang looked at the two siblings and smiled and said, “I also like the black sesame glutinous rice dumplings.”
"Hey, brother-in-law, you are telling my sister's lie again. As a man, I can't even speak to you." Xiao An deliberately bared his teeth and exaggerated his face.
Luo Fengtang's face was calm and he loved his wife as a matter of course.
Sun Shi stroked her palm and said, "It's simple and simple. When you all come over for dinner at night, I'll make it for you. It just so happened that Lian'er made noodles this morning and fried the sesame seeds."
That's it. , Xiao An drove the carriage, The carriage contained rice, flour, grain and oil for the Xiang family, and then Lao Suntou, Da Sun and Huang Mao all came over. Lao Suntou was holding Dashunzi, Huang Mao was holding Xiao Shunzi, and Da Sun was holding Carrying a basket, there were two cuts of pork belly in the basket.
Visually inspect the ten pounds upwards, which means four points are fat and six points are thin.
"Auntie, your gift is very important!" Yang Ruoqing glanced at the eldest Sun's basket and said with a smile.
Da Sun said: "Hey, this is nothing, our family just sells pork."
"The problem is that you brought too much pork. Let's go there like this." With so many people, we can’t finish the whole meal,” said Sun.
Da Sun curled her lips and said, "Yo yo yo, sister, how dare you think about it. Sister, let me put it aside. This meat is not for our army to eat. I am bringing it to Duo. Let them make pickled meat for the New Year!"
Ms. Sun suddenly said, "This meat is good to pickle, and it is very fat and thin. Sister, Qing'er is right, this gift from you is very important. It’s also practical.”
The Xiang family doesn't have many relatives, so they can marinate pork belly with two big knives like this, which is perfect for entertaining relatives and friends during the first month of the year.
"Sister, why isn't my brother-in-law here?" Mrs. Sun looked behind the Sun family for a few times, but she didn't see Xiaojie's father.
Da Sun said: "He can't come. There are so many pigs in the house, so we have to leave someone to take care of them." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "It's a pity that my Tang Yazi has no experience in feeding pigs, otherwise I would let him take care of it. "
Luo Fengtang thought for a while, "I think I can try it."
Mrs. Sun waved her hands hurriedly: "How can that be possible? Who is Tang Yazi? How can we ask him to help feed the pigs? Besides, there are fifty or sixty pigs in our pig pen, so it is better to let your uncle take care of it. "
Sun also said to Yang Ruoqing: "Stop making trouble."
Yang Ruoqing walked back to Luo Fengtang with a smile and tilted his head to look at her. He also smiled at her.
This girl thinks that he can lead thousands of troops, so she wants to get fifty or sixty pigs to let him practice his skills?
No problem. When one day he is discharged and returns to the fields, he will open a pig farm and take her to feed the pigs together, ensuring that he will have meat for every meal.
Everyone joked and joked for a while, teasing the big and small Shunzi brothers, and then the two old men, Lao Suntou and Lao Yangtou, were helped onto the carriage by Yang Huazhong.
Xiao Shunzi also stuffed himself into Lao Suntou's arms and followed him in the carriage.
Six or seven-year-old Dashunzi was unwilling to sit in the carriage and clamored to leave by himself.
Huang Mao was so angry that he grabbed his ears. You couldn't walk for two or three miles. It was so comfortable to ride in a car with your great-grandfather.
But this child just can't understand and accept the kindness of adults, and insists on going alone.
Da Sun said: "Huang Mao, please leave him alone, so as not to make him cry."
Xiao An also said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll be unable to walk later, and my uncle will carry him."
Huang Mao had no idea. He glared at Dashunzi and turned around to arrange things.
Yang Huazhong was driving. Two old men and Da Shunzi were sitting in the car. There were some gaps in the car and some gifts were placed.
On the wooden board behind the carriage were two hundred kilograms of rice, flour, grains and oil, as well as ten kilograms of pork belly brought by Mrs. Sun.
Fortunately, I found two horses to pull the cart together. If it were one horse, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to pull it.
Even so, Yang Huazhong was still reluctant to ride in the carriage. He didn't want to burden the two horses with his weight of 130 to 40 kilograms, so he simply led the horses away.
This made everyone else following behind laugh.
Yang Ruoqing said: "My father loves horses more than usual."
Xiao An said: "If my father were fifteen years younger, I would take him to the Ministry of War to manage the stables. ”
Yang Ruoqing added: "Our dad treats the horses as part of the family. I have seen him taking care of the stables several times. Hey, he is so careful."
Put up a barrier around the stables when it gets cold. Thatch felt was used to keep out the wind and cold, and the floor of the stable was evenly sprinkled with grass and wood chips, including the horse's fodder.
The group of people walked to the pasture talking and laughing. Although it was winter, with the sun above their heads and the north wind blowing, everyone was in a very excited mood. Talking and laughing, the three miles of land came to an end unknowingly.
From a distance, you can see the iron gate of the pasture is wide open. Lingling and Jiaojiao are pulling in the gap of the iron gate. One is pulling and the other is pushing. The two girls are having fun.
“Lingling, Jiaojiao, look here, look here.”
When the two children heard the shouting, they turned their heads to look for the sound, and then they saw the large army.
Lingling didn’t know what she said to Jiaojiao. The two children came down from the gap in the iron gate. Jiaojiao ran towards the army like a girl, while Lingling turned around and rushed into the pasture yard. Went to report the news to Duo'er and the others.
