"General Luo, Mrs. Luo, why did you get up so early? It's cold outside. You two should go back to the house and lie down for a while. The little lady will prepare breakfast for you two. It won't be too late for you to leave after eating!

"

I got the bracelet last night and was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night, so when I came over to say hello, the woman had obvious dark circles under her eyes.

Her man followed behind her, nodding and bowing towards Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, with a restrained smile on his face.

Luo Fengtang led the carriage, his expression calm.

Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. Today is the third day of the first lunar month. We have relatives coming to pay New Year's greetings, so we have to go back in a hurry."

"But what can you do when you are hungry?" the woman asked.

"You two, please wait a moment. I'll cook some hard-boiled eggs for you two in just one bowl of tea. It'll be quick," the woman said.

She looked at the hand warmer in Yang Ruoqing's hand and said, "The water in this hand warmer is the warm water in the house, right? It was burned last night, and it will be cold in half an hour before I leave."

.”

"Wait a minute, everyone. I'll also pour in the freshly heated hot water. It will keep your hands warm along the way!" she said again.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the hand mask in her hand and hesitated a little.

Luo Fengtang responded directly: "Okay, then the faster you do it, the better!"

The woman was stunned when she saw that Luo Fengtang, the cold-faced general, actually spoke to her.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly turned around with a smile and went to the kitchen to add boiled eggs.

Here, the woman's man quickly greeted Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang into the main room. Then, he carried the tobacco pole to the door of the main room, found a place to squat there and smoked the tobacco.

In the main room, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang whispered: "Actually, it's not cold at all when I sit in the carriage. There is no need to change the water. This is a waste of time!"

Luo Fengtang smiled gently and said: "It's okay, it's just a moment. Besides, it's not good for us to travel on an empty stomach. It's probably difficult to find a shop selling steamed buns in this part of the county."

During the twelfth lunar month, or even on New Year's Eve, there may still be shops doing business on the streets.

But before the sixth day of the first lunar month, ordinary shops are unlikely to open.

Therefore, the two of them could not buy buns and steamed buns to satisfy their hunger when passing through the county town. Even if they had money, they could not buy them.

Hearing Luo Fengtang's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded and agreed with Luo Fengtang's words.

The woman in this family spoke cheerfully and acted neatly. She said that it would only take a bowl of tea. Sure enough, she came over with two bowls of hot poached eggs after just one bowl of tea.

"Hey, didn't you say boiled eggs? Why did they become poached eggs?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.

Moreover, it is also poached eggs with black sesame, brown sugar and lard, which is quite fragrant, fragrant and sweet.

The woman smiled and said, "The boiled eggs have also been boiled. I will bring them to make dry food for you two later. These poached eggs will make your body warm after eating them. You two should eat them quickly!"

The woman also retreated to the door of the hall.

Yang Ruoqing picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Luo Fengtang: "In that case, let's not be pretentious. Tangyao, let's eat. After we finish, we can go on our way."

The couple were eating poached eggs facing each other, and the woman was standing at the door of the main room, talking to them.

"Last night, Xu Dakui's house was noisy again. This morning I went to the pond to wash vegetables, and I laughed so hard..." she said.

Yang Ruoqing then turned her gaze to the woman and motioned for her to continue talking.

The woman then told the whole story about the fight between Xu Dakui and Mr. Lu last night, the cause and effect.

"Their family originally had four quilts, but now one of them was burned down. The couple fought so hard that they were merciless. Lu's face was swollen and one of her teeth was broken.

"

"Xu Dakui's face was scratched, he had no quilt cover, and he was sick. At this moment, two patients at home who were infected with cold were lying on the bed. Mrs. Lu herself was beaten into a pig's head and had to wait on them.

He was a sick person, cursing, throwing and beating, and never stopped..."

After hearing all the nonsense about Xu Dakui's family, Yang Ruoqing sneered and shook her head.

"Dog bites dog, it's a hairy mouth, that's right!" she said.

The woman quickly echoed: "That's right. People in the village say that the Xu family are really the same family. They are like this. They don't know how to change each other's behavior and understand each other."

"If a family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous. If even this family is not harmonious, then don't expect anything else. It will only go downhill!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, you see things clearly and you are also a sensible person."

The woman smiled modestly.

Seeing Luo Fengtang drink up the last drop of sesame water in the bowl, Yang Ruoqing also put down her chopsticks and stood up.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your hospitality. Then we will take our leave," she said.

The woman said: "Wait a minute."

She turned around and ran into the kitchen, then took out a baggage roll and stuffed it into Yang Ruoqing's hand: "Just boiled hard-boiled eggs, take them with you to eat on the road."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Leave it for the children, we are full."

The woman said: "The children's are there too. This is the custom in our area. It's for the Chinese New Year. Take it!"

She directly stuffed the bundle into Yang Ruoqing's hand. It was warm and heavy.

When she heard that it was a Chinese New Year custom, Yang Ruoqing didn't put it off anymore. She took out three small gold nuggets from her waist and handed them to the woman.

"Three children, let each of them play with it. This is also our New Year custom there, so we can't refuse it."

The woman's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the three golden nudists handed over by Yang Ruoqing.

"This is really a good thing. After living for half my life, I have seen pieces of silver, but this is the first time I have seen gold. This, this is too precious..." She said in surprise, a little afraid to accept it.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and pushed her hand back, "Let's go, see you later!"

They took Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang to the entrance of the village and onto the road. When the carriage could no longer be seen, the woman slowly walked back with her man.

"Dad, this general's wife is really a living Bodhisattva who has descended to earth. She is so kind to our family. I am very embarrassed. I just treated her with two simple meals in exchange for so much gold and silver. We have accumulated all the money in my previous life."

Have you gained any virtue?"

The man's face was also full of emotion and he said: "Yes, he is really a kind man."

"Before, when we saw her using thunderous means to punish Xu Dakui, we murmured privately that she was a bit tyrannical because of her official position... Now it seems that she is a sensible person with clear rewards and punishments, but she still treats honest people like us

Very good, General Luo is a good officer. Mrs. Luo is also a good person!" he said.

The woman nodded repeatedly: "If anyone criticizes them behind their back in the future, I will be the first to refuse!"

"Also, when you go shopping in the county after the Lantern Festival, remember to buy an extra handful of incense. From now on, I will burn incense at the Kitchen God on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to pray for General Luo and his family! Bless them a long life.
