Yang Huaming smiled flatteringly and said to Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing: "No, I went to the town today to buy some food and wine. Xiaojuan and San Yatou are cooking, and I want to invite you all to come over to my place at noon.

Sit down for a while, have a drink, eat some food, and thank you all for your hard work on things like this."

So it’s a treat for dinner? This means I have money in my pocket...

Yang Ruoqing secretly thought in her heart that since she and her father were here, she, a junior, should not rush to refuse her, because she knew that her father, Yang Huazhong, would definitely refuse.

Sure enough, Yang Huazhong refused without thinking: "The Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and there are a lot of things to do at home, so I won't go. You can go tell them."

"But, third brother, if you don't go..."

"It's nothing. Your third sister-in-law is not at home this year, but someone has to do these things at home. I really can't spare the time. I accept your kindness. You can go back and go about your business."

Yang Huazhong directly gave Yang Huaming an eviction order. Yang Huaming blushed and turned his pleading eyes to Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, why don't you and Tang Yazi take the children to have dinner together as a favor? I specially bought those big chicken breasts and let Xiaojuan make chicken meatballs for the children to eat!" he said.

When Yang Ruoqing heard the words chicken meatballs, her heart moved a little.

The two little guys in the family are obsessed with eating chicken meatballs recently. Almost every other day, Wuwang Cuilian will make soup for them with chicken. Yang Huazhong, the grandson, knows that his two grandsons like to eat this, so he not only brings the chickens from the backyard of the family, but also

Go buy it from someone in the village who raises chickens.

My fourth uncle probably heard this, so he did what he wanted this time.

Faced with her fourth uncle's flattery, Yang Ruoqing just smiled faintly: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I deliberately let the two children eat lightly these two days, so as not to eat too much good food during the Chinese New Year and cause stomach upset."

Both father and daughter rejected Yang Huaming, and Yang Huaming turned his questioning eyes to Old Yangtou.

Lao Yangtou said: "By the way, fourth brother, your mother and I discussed it and originally we should celebrate the New Year with your fourth room this year."

"No, your third sister-in-law, Daan Xiaohua and the others are in the capital. Your third brother and Xiaoan are having a deserted New Year's Eve dinner. Your mother and I plan to move here to spend the New Year with them."

"After the seventh day of the first lunar month, we will move into the fifth room."

After hearing Lao Yangtou's decision, Yang Huaming became anxious.

"Dad, you can't help it. You didn't celebrate the New Year with us last year, and you won't celebrate it with us this year. Those who know the inside story don't say anything, but those who don't know the inside story want to poke my son's spine behind his back, saying that I am unfilial.

!" he said.

Lao Yangtouhu lowered his face and said: "If anyone pokes you in the back, the worst I can do is stand up and defend you and clear your name..."

Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "Dad, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that my son wants to celebrate the New Year with you and your mother, have dinner together, and have a lot of fun together..."

Old Yangtou said: "Your fourth bedroom is now busy and noisy with the addition of a new child. Your mother and I should come to the third bedroom. We have already made plans. So don't say anything anymore. Go back quickly and help with the planning."

Let’s forget about the New Year, most of the people in this twelfth lunar month are busy with He’er’s affairs, and tomorrow is New Year’s Eve!”

Seeing that his persuasion failed, Yang Huaming had no choice but to leave, but was stopped again by Yang Ruoqing.

"Fourth Uncle, you went to town to meet with the Hu family to discuss private matters. What specifically did you discuss?" she asked.

"Have they got their three hundred taels of silver into your hands?"

Yang Ruoqing asked again, suddenly realizing that she had not ignored this question before.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Yang Huaming said: "Three hundred taels of silver were paid to me in advance and thirty taels of cash were given to me. The remaining two hundred and seventy taels of silver were said to be converted into silver notes and would be delivered tomorrow."

"When they delivered the banknote to me, I went to the Yamen to intercede for Mr. Hu, saying that my family was not going to pursue the responsibility and that it was all a misunderstanding..."

"Because the Yamen will not open until after the Lantern Festival, so during this period, that member Hu will have to sit in jail, haha..."

Yang Ruoqing ignored Yang Huaming's "haha" and focused on the banknote.

"As your niece, I finally want to give you a kind advice." She said.

"If you don't get the banknote, don't let them coax you to go to the Yamen. Even if you get the banknote, you should carefully check whether the banknote is fake. Don't be fooled and have nowhere to redress.

You can only lose money if you eat Dumb Coptis." She finally said.

Yang Huaming nodded repeatedly, with an moved expression on his face.

Old Yangtou couldn't help but told Yang Huaming: "And you'd better keep the thirty taels of silver yourself instead of giving it all to that woman Xiaojuan. Mrs. Liu and the three girls He'er are also your wives and sons.

, you’d better give them half!”

Yang Huaming nodded again: "Of course, dad, don't worry, I don't need you to tell me, I will definitely do it!"

…

The fact that Yang Huaming accepted the Hu family's affair was soon known to the whole village. People in the village almost held two opinions on this matter.

One is to agree with Yang Huaming's approach. The reason is that the damage has been done and it is wise to recover the losses as much as possible.

Another idea is that they have the same idea as Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong. When a person lives for one breath, he cannot break his principles just for the sake of those yellow and white things. Fighting to the death with evil people is the behavior that a real man should have.

Both groups insisted on their own opinions, so for a long time, everyone was discussing this matter at the entrance to the village, at the old maple tree by the pond, at the corner of the alley, and even at the dinner tables of the villagers' homes.

It once became the most popular issue in the village!

All the dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in the past year will come to a huge end on New Year's Eve.

Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, everyone gathered together to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, bid farewell to the past year, and enter the new year again.

In the yard of Yang Ruoqing's house, Luo Fengtang specially bought a lot of wind lanterns and some colorful and bright Gao Zhizhi to decorate the yard, making the yard extremely festive and bright.

Fire trees, silver flowers, and colorful wind lanterns illuminate the yard as bright as day.

Luo Baobao and Da Zhi, wearing brand new clothes, chased and played in the yard.

The two little guys were also carrying the small lanterns that Luo Fengtang brought back from the county town, which were small toys for children.

Amid Luo Baobao's silver bell-like laughter, Yang Ruoqing gently snuggled into Luo Fengtang's arms, feeling the warmth of the New Year and the beauty of reunion.

Luo Fengtang tightened his cloak, hugged Yang Ruoqing in his arms, and whispered into her ear:
Chapter completed!
