I racked my brains to find topics to talk to Li Xiuxin, for example, asking about Lijiacun, asking about Li Xiuxin's younger brother's academic problems, etc.

At first, Li Xiuxin was still a little cautious, asking and answering.

Sometimes I have to think carefully before answering, as if I am worried that if I don't say something correctly, it will cause misunderstanding.

Or, it will leave some negative impression on Yang Ruoqing.

In short, Yang Ruoqing felt that this sister-in-law really had a different personality from Zhao Liuer.

Zhao Liuer is down-to-earth, and Li Xiuxin, probably because she is the daughter of a scholar, has something indescribable about her.

You say she is bad, but she also has a very upright mind. When talking about people and things in Lijia Village, she almost doesn't comment on whether they are good or bad.

To put it mildly, she is a cautious and well-spoken woman, so there is no need to worry about her spreading rumors or gossiping.

To put it mildly, she is also a person who is very wary of others.

It is difficult for you to talk to her heart and soul. When you chat, it is like a bowl of tasteless boiled water. The more you chat, the less topic you have to talk about.

By the end of the conversation, Yang Ruoqing wanted to withdraw.

If it weren't for the fact that this was her mother's home, Li Xiuxin and the others were here to pay New Year's greetings. They were guests, so they had to bite the bullet and accompany them.

Otherwise, Yang Ruoqing would have gone to the Sun family to gossip with Cao Bamei. It would be so boring...

Finally, Mr. Sun came over.

"What are you talking about? Has Qing'er refilled your sister-in-law's tea?" Mrs. Sun asked with a smile and sat down aside.

Without waiting for Yang Ruoqing to respond, Li Xiuxin said hurriedly: "Sister Qing'er wanted to refill my tea, but I stopped her from letting me refill it. I can't drink it."

Ms. Sun was stunned for a moment, then Yang Ruoqing quickly stood up.

"Mom, you chat with my sister-in-law, I have to take some time to send Dazhi and the baby back to take a bath and go to bed. It's getting late," she said.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Okay, you go quickly."

Yang Ruoqing took this opportunity to run away quickly and came to the outside of the yard before she breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just a matter of words. Does the eldest brother chat with Li Xiuxin like this when they are together?

But, having said that, two people cannot be covered by the same quilt, and the eldest brother himself seems to have such a personality.

When I was studying, I couldn't hear him say a few words for a year. But now that I'm back teaching, I have to deal with him every day.

Then the eloquent uncle passed away, and the eldest brother was forced to stand up for many things, so he spoke more than before.

Hey, don't worry about them anymore, just live your own life.

Every couple naturally has their own way of getting along.

If we really can't get along anymore, we will break up.

Shaking her head and wiping away the messy things in her mind, Yang Ruoqing walked towards Luo Baobao and Luo Dazhi.

"Sister, you can't take care of two children by yourself. My brother-in-law is talking to everyone now, so let me help you send the two children back together."

In the yard, Xiaohua said to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it and said, "Okay, you hold the baby, and I'll hold the ambition. Xiaoduo, you go in later and tell your brother-in-law that Xiaohua and I have sent the child back so that he doesn't have to look for it."

"I'll come back after the child is settled."

"Okay sister, I'll go talk to my brother-in-law right away." Xiaoduo turned around and entered the main room, while Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua also went back to the next door yard with the two little guys who hadn't had enough fun.

They were originally clamoring to play again, but after some coaxing from Yang Ruoqing, and promising to take them to celebrate the New Year tomorrow, kowtow again, and drink rice wine...

The attention of the two little guys was instantly diverted.

As soon as they became good-natured, sleepiness began to rise. As soon as they returned to the house, the two little people began to doze off.

Yang Ruoqing put the two of them on the bed and went into the bathroom to get a basin of hot water.

I helped the two little guys wipe their little faces and a pair of little hands.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, the two little guys had already taken a bath and changed into new clothes.

At this moment, after wiping their faces and hands, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua took off the clothes of the two children together and placed them on their small beds.

Seeing Xiaohua's neat and capable appearance when doing these things, Yang Ruoqing was secretly pleased.

This girl, this technique, was developed by helping take Luo Baobao over the past two years.

"Okay, Xiaohua, you go back first, I'll stay here for a while." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaohua said: "Sister, didn't you say you wanted to go over to find your brother-in-law before? You go over first, I'll watch them first, and I'll leave when you come back."

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, her mother-in-law Tuoba Xian should have fallen asleep at this time.

After winter came, my mother-in-law's health was not very good and she suffered from mild asthma.

Tonight was the New Year's Eve, and her body couldn't stay up all night to watch the New Year's Eve.

Auntie must not have slept, but the yard where Auntie lives is some way away from here.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want to call her over so late at night to help her take care of the child.

"Forget it, I won't go there. Anyway, it's just gossip." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Xiao Hua, please go back. I'll keep an eye on the child. I'll go to bed when the New Year's Eve is over."

Xiaohua couldn't resist Yang Ruoqing, so she had to leave.

Yang Huazhong's family.

Yang Huaming and the others had already pulled out a table, removed all the tea and cakes on the table, and were about to start drawing cards.

Brothers Yang Huaming, Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi were sitting around, playing cards.

Beside, Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongqing stood watching.

At another table nearby, Yang Yongxian and Daan, who were talking about the academy earlier, were gone.

Li Xiuxin also disappeared. The couple must have gone back, and Zhao Liu'er and Hong'er also left together.

At this moment, the people at the table changed. They were Lao Yangtou and Lao Suntou, and Blacksmith Luo was also there.

The three of them were smoking cigarettes, drinking tea, and still chatting about their home affairs.

Occasionally, when there was a burst of laughter and slapping sounds from the card table, Old Yang would pause in his conversation, then glance over there with a smile, then look back and continue talking.

Old Yang's head was red, and he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment when he looked at the playful children and grandchildren in this room, both men and women, who were all his descendants.

"Xiaohua, where is your sister?"

Luo Fengtang walked over from the backyard, happened to meet Xiao Hua Dou, and asked.

Xiaohua conveyed what she had said before, Luo Fengtang nodded, "Okay, I just sent Xiaoan back to the house, so I'll go back too."

…

Yang Ruoqing sat in the warm bucket, cracking melon seeds and reading a notebook in her hand.

This notebook was brought back to her from Qing'an County by Da'an. It talks about the customs and customs of some places in Daqi.

Is there anything fun, good food or drink, what allusions does an old well have, or stories about filial sons and virtuous grandchildren?
