Chapter 2126
Mrs. Sun still quite listened to Yang Ruoqing's words. After hearing the words, she nodded with a smile and let Yang Ruoqing help her sit up.
Yang Ruoqing took Old Mrs. Sun's coat from the end of the bed and helped her put it on her body.
Then they brought the small kang table and put it on top of the quilt. The food they brought was placed on the kang table. Mrs. Sun just stretched out her hand and could get the chopsticks and bowls.
"You brought me so many good dishes, how can I finish them all by myself?" Mrs. Sun looked at the pile of food in front of her and said with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "If you can't eat it, just eat it slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Mrs. Sun said: "Go to the kitchen next door and get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and I'll give you some."
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I smelled too much oil smoke when I was cooking, and now I can't eat anything."
Mrs. Sun had no choice but to eat slowly by herself.
Yang Ruoqing sat aside and said nothing, patiently watching Mrs. Sun eat.
After eating a few chopsticks, Mrs. Sun suddenly stopped and sighed softly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "What's wrong? Does the food taste unpalatable?"
Mrs. Sun shook her head and turned to look at Yang Ruoqing.
"The food is delicious and tastes good. It's because Ga Po is so busy that she can't taste anything," she said.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly and said softly: "What's stuck in Ga Po's heart? You can talk to Qing'er, and Qing'er will help you think about it."
When Yang Ruoqing helped Old Mrs. Sun stand up and help her get dressed, she observed the old lady's complexion and quietly felt her pulse.
The old lady's body and bones should be fine.
Some common symptoms include weakness of Qi and blood in the elderly, and some bone aches due to weather changes or rain.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a bunch of dog-skin plasters applied.
The loss of appetite at this moment, as she said herself, was because something was pressing on her mind.
It must be unblocked and enlightened.
"Granny, please tell me, don't be alone in your heart." Yang Ruoqing continued.
Mrs. Sun put down her chopsticks and looked at Yang Ruoqing.
"Da'an and Dajie are both my children."
"Dajie was born to your aunt, and Da'an was born to your mother."
"Although they have different surnames, in the eyes of outsiders, one is my grandson and the other is my grandson, with a foreign character added in front."
"But in our hearts and yours, they are both the same."
"Your grandpa and I have no sons in our lives, but we gave birth to two daughters, your aunt and your mother. The palms and backs of our hands are the same. There is no point in this." Old Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing listened silently and nodded secretly.
From childhood to adulthood, even when I was stupid, I always liked Gonggong and Gabao the same way.
Moreover, Ga Gong and Ga Po often saved their own rations and sent them to Sun and Yang Huazhong, fearing that Sun, mother and son would have a hard time in Lao Yang's family...
At the beginning of the separation, it was really difficult. The family of five was about to run out of food.
There is no labor to plant the crops in the fields...
It was Gagong Lao Suntou who drove an ox cart over the mountains and ridges and brought grain and wheat flour, as well as a lot of mountain products, eggs, and old hens.
At such an old age, Lao Suntou still picked up a plow to help his daughter and son-in-law plow and harrow the fields. His foot was cut by a piece of bowl deliberately thrown by Brother Chen Hu, and he bled a lot...
Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes like lightning. Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand and held Old Mrs. Sun's rough hand, which was already covered with age spots and looked like the bark of an old tree.
"Granny, I know. I know that you and Gong treat our siblings no differently than Dajie and Xiaojie." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun smiled lovingly and looked at Yang Ruoqing with soft eyes.
"This time Da'an and Dajie went to take the exam together. One passed the exam but the other failed."
"My heart is half happy and half sad. In order to take into account the feelings of the two children and the two adults,"
"I don't dare to express my happiness too much, and I don't dare to express my sadness too much. In my heart, this feeling is a bit strange..." Old Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "Granny, don't think so much. Just say whatever you want to any child you meet."
"Besides, Dajie didn't pass the exam this time. There will be another time, and the next time. He is young, only thirteen or fourteen years old. What should he be afraid of?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Mrs. Sun nodded: "Well, that's indeed the truth."
"However, Da'an is also the same age as Dajie. They studied together, had the same teacher, ate the same, drank the same, and slept the same."
"I can only say that Da'an, this guy's brain is indeed better than Dajie's." Old Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "This is just about studying. Maybe Da'an is slightly better than Dajie, but in other aspects, Daan may not be as good as Dajie!"
"As the saying goes, each inch has its strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has their own strengths."
"They are both daughters of my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. Don't you think my eldest aunt and my mother are different?" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Mrs. Sun thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Your aunt is so strong that she can knock down a pig weighing more than 200 kilograms."
"But your mother's cooking and sewing are a few steps ahead of your aunt, hahaha..."
In this way, Yang Ruoqing chatted with Old Mrs. Sun, and the old lady's mood gradually became brighter.
I gradually opened my eyes to Daan and Dajie.
"This is Grandma Ga. I'm telling you privately that your aunt and uncle are in the same mood as me."
"They are both happy for Da'an and worried for Dajie!"
"After your mother came over to talk this morning, your aunt and I had a heart-to-heart talk and said, this great hero, Da'an is taking him to study together now."
"Now that Da'an has passed the examination, the two schools are probably separated."
"Your aunt is worried that Dajie will be timid when studying alone in a school in the town. Dajie's character is like that of a girl. He dare not speak when there are many people. You also know that."
"What your aunt means is that if it doesn't work out, just let Dajie come back to the village and study in your cousin's school behind the village."
"Otherwise, we simply don't let Dajie study. If we become a scholar, it's almost enough. We can still go to the government office to get a few buckets of rice every year. We can also reduce some of the corvee and taxes at home. That's it.
That's enough!" Old Mrs. Sun said.
"Let Dajie take a break from school, come home, and work hard with his mother!" Mrs. Sun said again.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing was really surprised.
"Dajie is only thirteen or fourteen years old. He has been studying for several years in the past. Now he is not allowed to study. What does auntie want him to do?"
"Raise pigs? Kill pigs?" she asked again.
Seeing Mrs. Sun's expression, Yang Ruoqing knew that she had guessed correctly.
