When I got up the next day, the rain that had fallen in the middle of the night had stopped temporarily, but the sky was still gloomy.
"It looks like it's going to rain, maybe there will be heavy rain," Luo Fengtang looked at the sky outside and discussed with Yang Ruoqing: "My idea is, it's best not to go out today, because you can't tell. The rain will fall soon."
Yang Ruoqing looked at the sky and agreed with Luo Fengtang's suggestion.
However, when the two children heard that they could not go to their aunt's house in Xiangjiazhuang to pay New Year's greetings, they were immediately unhappy. During breakfast, no matter how Yang Ruoqing suppressed it, the two little guys still had various non-violent behaviors. Uncooperative.
Wang Cuilian said: "If it doesn't work, just go. If you don't go, you have to go to the house next door to discuss it with your parents. It would be quite troublesome if everyone doesn't go."
Wang Cuilian didn't say anything clearly, but Yang Ruoqing understood.
That is to say, Mrs. Sun is a person who pays great attention to auspiciousness when traveling, especially when it comes to New Year greetings. She had previously decided to go to visit the New Year on the first few days of the year. If she changed her mind temporarily, Mrs. Sun would definitely feel a little unlucky.
Besides, the rain hasn’t fallen yet, so we might as well go.
"Auntie, I understand what you mean. The rain may fall at any time. Otherwise, I will go next door to my parents and Da'an to ask them what they mean."
< br>"Qing'er, I'll go with you." Luo Fengtang put down his chopsticks and stood up.
Seeing that the two of them were about to go out, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan shouted together: "I'm going to my aunt's house to pay New Year greetings!"
"I'm going to go!"
Luo Fengtang turned his head and gave a cold look. The little guy was so frightened that he quickly buried his head and did not dare to say a word.
Yang Ruoqing tugged on Luo Fengtang's sleeves: "Don't pay attention to them for now. Children are like this. As long as they don't stay at home, they can squat in any mess."
Wanting to go out to celebrate the New Year, especially during the first lunar month, and play with cousins and cousins is a common trait among all children of this age.
You can control them in other aspects, but the child's nature and commonality cannot be suppressed in every way, otherwise the child will lose his happiness.
Luo Fengtang understands Yang Ruoqing's intention. He actually doesn't think much about this. He doesn't be careless when he should be strict, and turns a blind eye when he can be careless.
I just glanced at them casually, but I didn't expect them to be frightened. Luo Fengtang himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But I couldn’t think about that now. I had to quickly accompany Qing’er to my father-in-law’s house next door to discuss the New Year’s itinerary.
The couple came to their parents' house next door together. As soon as they stepped through the courtyard gate, they saw Yang Huazhong and Da'an, father and son. One was standing under the eaves looking at the sky, and the other was standing in the middle of the courtyard. He raised his hands and felt the palms of his hands. It's not falling into the rain.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang come in, Da'an said: "Sister, brother-in-law, you came just in time. I always feel like it's raining heavily today, so it's not a good time to go out today."
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other. They all nodded in agreement.
"We came here for this reason too. We came after a few bites of breakfast." Yang Ruoqing said.
Then he came to Yang Huazhong: "Dad, how do you feel?"
Yang Huazhong frowned, looked at the dry palms of his hands and said, "I won't have it this time, but in the morning It’s not safe. If we adults go to Xiangjiazhuang, that’s fine. But if we take the children with us, it will be inconvenient if it rains heavily.”
Although going to Xiangjiazhuang to pay New Year greetings today would definitely require a carriage, the carriage is a carriage after all and can be blocked by ordinary rain.
If the rain is too heavy, it will not work. The car windows and doors are all covered with rain.
And because it is a horse-drawn carriage, the horses have a hard time in strong winds and rain, and they are easily frightened.
The wheels are also a problem. If the rain is too heavy and the mud on the river dam is too deep, the wheels are buried and the car is stuck in a dilemma halfway, it will be troublesome!
With people sitting in the car, everyone pushing the cart will undoubtedly increase the burden and make it impossible to push.
People get off the car, please pay attention, today you have to take care of several children, Tuanyuanyuan, Fuwa, Juner...
There are so many children, you let them stand in the wind and rain in the first month of the year, waiting for adults to push them Wagon out of mud?
Why don’t you get sick? In this era, the medical conditions are so backward. What if the children catch a cold and contract pneumonia?
So, Yang Ruoqing simply said: "The weather is bad today, we won't go to Xiangjiazhuang, let's go another day!"
Yang Huazhong nodded: "I have the same idea..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Sun came out of the main room and looked at the sky. She also looked worried.
But when Yang Ruoqing and the others made it clear that they had changed their itinerary, Sun immediately showed her disapproval.
"It would be unlucky to change the date we have decided to send New Year greetings to..."
"Mom, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Any day will be auspicious, don't be like that. Thoughts.”
"But, we made an appointment with Duo'er a few days ago. Maybe there will be a table full of dishes waiting for us at noon today, and we will suddenly stop going. By then..."
"Mom, this is simple. I'll just go to Xiangjiazhuang and tell Duo'er, okay?" Da'an said.
Sun still looked hesitant.
However, Yang Huazhong has already made up his mind: "Let's do it. Da'an, please go there quickly!"
As for Sun, Yang Huazhong said this: "Think about it, how can you turn back? It’s raining heavily, what should we do with the children? Which is more important, the children, or the fake New Year greetings?”
Sun said without thinking: "Why bother asking? Of course it's the few treasures in the family that matter!"
"Isn't that the end of the matter? We all stay at home today. If the children are bored, , Qing’er, just bring them to me and wish you a second happy New Year!”
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to them."
Sun also smiled, "Then I'll tidy up and prepare for lunch? Qing'er, let your uncle Auntie brought us over for dinner.”
“Okay!”
"By the way, it just so happens that the Sun family hasn't come over for dinner this year. It just so happens that Xiaojie is here too. Let's call him over..."
"Okay, I'll stop by when I go back later."
However, when Yang Ruoqing came to Sun's house, Huang Mao just walked out.
"Sister Qing'er, I'm going to your Luo family,"
"What's going on?"
"Mom said, I'm afraid it's going to rain today, so you probably won't go out to visit relatives, right?"
"Yes, I canceled my visit to relatives today. I originally planned to go to Xiangjiazhuang."< br>
“Cancellation is good, Mom asked me to tell you that you will all come to our Sun family this afternoon to cook a big goose in an iron pot."
Yang Ruoqing remembered that the Sun family had not cooked the big goose that the Zhou family had given them two days ago. , just keep it until everyone is gathered before burning it.
Today is a good day!
"Okay, then I'll go and say hello. By the way, your parents' side has also gone to say hello, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Huang Mao nodded with a smile: "I went over to help my mother wash her clothes in the morning. I told her that she would be here at noon."
"Okay, there are so many people and it's lively!" (this chapter End)
